We could be running away with this. Two field goals that should have been touchdowns.

Shout song (they don't all have to be negative songs)

Yeah and even Bills fans tend to disagree with me on this but I feel like if Ray Guy got in Tasker absolutely has to get in.

Have to disagree. The 2014 defense was great. A defense that shuts down Aaron Rodgers when he is having a great year even by his standards and gets you to 9 wins (okay, would have been 8 if Brady played the last game) with a horribly anemic offense led by a QB that was ready to retire before the year even ended is a great defense. The Oakland game is really the only bad game I can think of from that season.

Not only do the injuries concern me but tbh even in the few games he played last year before the injury his performance seemed to slip a little. Would only be a fan if: 1. We pay him literally not a penny more than we would pay a 2nd stringer 2. We are still willing to either groom TT or draft another young QB for the future.

Going to see Dr Strange

My have things changed. When was the last time we saw Oakland as one of the tougher teams on our schedule? I honestly think we can beat the Raiders. They have improved but I'm still not sold on them defensively.

Yes they can, but in the end the team that benefited from the officials' negated play is going to be remembered as the better team. Perfect example is the Steelers and their superbowl win over the Seahawks years ago. The officiating clearly benefited Pittsburgh and if the game was called fair Seattle probably wins. Yet all anyone remembers is how great the Steelers are for winning 6 superbowls.

I've come to accept the fact that part of becoming a good team means being able to overcome poor officiating that goes against you. How exactly? If a team loses 4 games due to poor officiating would you consider them good?

INTs don't need to be returned for touchdowns. If they set up short fields they can make even the best defensive coordinator's job more difficult.

14 of those points set up by Wentz INTs right off the bat. Also, Schwartz's defense gift-wrapped a shot at a game-winning TD for Wentz at the end and he blew it.

The two Pats losses and the Cowboys loss were all heartbreaking. But the loss to the Browns, while it sucked, wasn't so much heartbreaking to me as it was disappointing. We gave up 29 points to a team led by Brady Quinn. We didn't deserve to win that one.

Does that dude really think his wife is our starting running back today?

Sarcasm? Especially that trade proposal? Gosh I hope so.

I stand by my belief that is we beat Cincinnati in a couple of weeks (which we really can do especially if LeSean is healthy) we are right in the playoff race.

I'm..... dreaming...... of a playoff...... season Just like the ones I used to know

Then what player(s) makes them a Superbowl contender? Defense is solid but not that great. Alex Smith is at best about as good as a journeyman and their top offensive threat has barley seen the field for over a year. Andy Reid is the main reason they are a contender.

Last night was a good night to be named Ezekiel.

Not ready to give up on the season yet. Beat the Bengals in a few weeks (and I really think we stand a good chance to do that) and that should make us one of the wildcard favorites.

I would say those are good reasons to maybe give him a break now and again but to say he gets a full pass for an entire year, no. Especially since I don't think these excuses would be made if our current coach was Jauron, Gailey, Marrone, etc.

I know I'm a little late in answering this but I guess Aaron would have been the least sad death to see. Though I knew they were going to go with someone bigger than him. And yeah, I tried not to follow the spoilers because I wanted to be surprised so I didn't know it had to be someone on Rick's right side. Looks like this is going to be a fun TWD season which is good because if this ends up being another disappointing Bills season it will be nice to have something to look forward to on Sunday nights.

Agree and I feel like if that were Sammy, or in years past Stevie, a lot more people would have been saying that.

I agree it was a cheap shot but I'm glad we didn't retaliate. All it would have most likely done is drawn a penalty on us and if that penalty would have costed us the game then Landry comes out looking like the winner.

Going to bring this thread back again. On a day when Schwartz' defense shuts down and unbeaten team even overcoming his QB giving them short fields twice Rex's defense looks flat out rancid.

Browns up 10-7 on Bengals
