Jon’s not going to end up on the throne. My $.02...either Dany will “win” and destroy her enemies or the whole concept of the throne will be abandoned (since KL is now rubble) and the kingdoms will be left to govern themselves.

You see, this attitude is a problem. Sure, it’s entertainment, but this is also a community. A lot of folks on here know each other. You saying it’s ok to come in and take a dump on everyone because “it’s just fun and nobody cares” is disturbing and says quite a bit about you. I have NEVER asked for people to praise OBD and toe the company line. Never. You have opinions about what the Bills could do better, that’s awesome. Let’s talk about them. But a growing number of folks have lost any sense of civility and simply want to beat others down. That ain’t cool.

ScottLaw, stop posting under multiple screen names. It’s beneath you. ?

Exactly. It’s not helpful or productive to repeat the same criticism over and over and over while at the same time demeaning or making fun of those fans who choose to look at things optimistically. There is WAY too much “I need you to agree with me” around here on both sides.

I actually believe most people are capable of reasonable thought, so I keep giving you an opportunity. You’re testing that hypothesis.

And here you are, right on cue with your 2nd tenet of TSW posting: complaining about the rebuild rather than what you wanted to see happen. Wahhhhhhh.

It’s fun and perfectly reasonable to speculate upon which teams will contend next year. Such speculation would logically center around teams who made “splashy” acquisitions in the offseason or who finished the previous year on a high note. It’s not at all surprising to see Cleveland at the top of that list. What is mildly surprising to me is the lack of consideration given to how Buffalo finished the 2018 season, combined with all of their offseason acquisitions. Gil Brandt is the first national media member I’ve seen call the Bills a playoff team.

The new Tiger has finally arrived, and his name is Brooks Koepka. This dude has the same mental makeup of Tiger in his prime (not a mental midget like DJ, a head case like Spieth, or “too nice” like Fowler, JT, etc.). He is already motivated to reach double digits in Major wins and if he stays healthy, watch out.

The more chips on the shoulders of this team, the better.

So he’s replacing Affleck in the current DC series? (Sorry, couldn’t open link)

Oh my god, the similarities between what the Jets are doing now and what the Bills did two years ago are striking. How can any Bills fan criticize the Jets? Sincerely, ScottLaw

If Allen “only” plays exactly like he did in the final six games last year, behind an improved OL and with improved receivers, 8 wins is the floor.

You're not simply critical, you're a bore. You repeat yourself ad nauseum and don’t provide a bit of insight or thoughtful discussion. Here’s a summary of your content: “What are you criticizing other teams for, you idiots, the Bills suck too.” ”The Bills were ready to contend before Beane and McD came in and unnecessarily traded away or cut all of their good players.” ”McD and Beane haven’t proven a thing yet.” ”The Pegulas are clueless.” Yeah, I’m sure you REALLY enjoy watching them play. ?? By contrast, there are a number of posters who are critical but can at least articulate their specific concerns and not live in the past. You could learn a thing or two.

Draft decisions are made in the present, not in hindsight. The Bills didn’t have Watson and Mahomes valued as highly and moved forward with their plan. Why are you so insistent upon living in the past? There were a number of ways McD and Beane could have gone about building the team. Clearly you don’t approve of the one they chose, as you mention it in EVERY. SINGLE. POST. Move on.

You don’t seem to understand. You. Are. A. Broken. Record.

Well, at least the comments from around the league are refreshing. We need some good luck.

After a few days I’ve come to accept the sentiment that in a perfect world some of these story arcs could have been more deliberately developed, and the end of the series has been rushed out of a forced necessity. That said — coming from a non-book reader — I don’t have a “problem” with how the season has progressed because I don’t think they’ve done anything with the characters that is a complete surprise. I think they’ve certainly done a good job of preserving the mystery of what will happen in the finale.

Dude you are so confused and damaged right now I don’t know what to say. Lately you’ve been contradicting yourself in almost every post. It’s a comedy of errors. The Bills will be fine if Allen pans out, but who maneuvered to get him? The guy you have no confidence in. The Pegulas are “clueless” but what have they really done besides hiring people and attempting to let them do their jobs, all the while significantly upgrading the facilities to protect and attract players? They made a bad decision to trust Brandon when hiring Rex. Really, that’s the only thing Bills-related one could look back upon and attach the word “clueless” to...and they weren’t the only ones fooled. Why don’t you give the Bills a break for a while and come back to enjoy the season once it has started. Do you really think folks around here want to hear “I’ll believe it when I see it” and “McBeane hasn’t done anything yet” every time they read a post of yours? It would be great to see you contribute to this forum in some sort of meaningful way.

As far as we know as fans, Teller is a complete unknown. Hard to predict anything with him until TC and preseason. Shady is so polarizing to this fan base. I don’t get it. There’s not a RB alive who would have looked good behind that line last year. He’s not going to be a workhorse back at this stage of his career (he’ll have 15 or fewer touches per game) and the money is not a problem for the Bills, so someone please explain why so many want to run him out of town?

Cue @ScottLaw with some iteration of “McD is no better” in 3...2...1...

I am no Xs and Os expert but literally everything I’ve read about Oliver says he is a perfect fit as the 3-tech in McD’s defense. Why would you want to mess with that?

@ScottLaw doesn’t follow the Jets either; he just views his job on TSW to be “that guy” critiquing Bills fans critiquing anything another organization does because “McD and Beane haven’t done anything yet.”

So he hates Cher?

Even better, his posse will be getting him all riled up about it. The atmosphere at OTAs and TC should be awesome.
