I opened up this thread and saw this post first, and immediately knew who it was referencing. Honestly, I think it’s a fan of some other team (Pats* maybe?) with a low self esteem, too much time on his hands, and not much imagination.

Oh, I don't know... there's a few people I would've like to have seen injured... (OK, relax, I'm just kidding!)

I'll say... yep.

Am I the only person alive who actually enjoys preseason games? (Today's sh*tshow notwithstanding.)

Welcome! I wish I could say you're not going to regret it...

Replying to this guy just makes you a fish on a hook. He is trolling.

...oh, please...

Davis looking better.

Our second team O-line might be better than our first.

You’re referring to his penalties, of course.

Newhouse is terrible.

Maybe.

Shaq is getting shut down. Can not get around his man. Not once.

Is Vontae really the second best corner we have???

Shaq look ok.

This offseason, I have come to the vague conclusion, that along with Nathan Peterman (a known commodity, that we've known sucks), AJ McCarron also sucks.

Is Preston just joking in that Bengal's Wire article when he says, "they don't like [Cordy] up there...?" I've never had that feeling, and PB is a notorious jokester. But, the context in that article made it seem like he wasn't necessarily joking. Personally, I always want former Bills players to succeed. Except against us, of course.

Congrats.

You need to take a step back from your narrative and really look at what you're saying. I've said since that day that the team played differently with Taylor than they did with Peterman. I've said since that day that they looked like a different team. The problem with your narrative is that you don't place any of that on Peterman, saying instead that the team was only willing to play for Taylor. So, I'll play your hypothetical within your narrative. But, I'm not going to go down the "Tom Brady" route. Instead, let's say we had Ryan Fitzpatrick back in the fold as our backup (that is, after all, what he is-- a career backup QB who will always be ready to take the reigns). It's week 11, against the Chargers, so he certainly has the playbook down, so there should be no excuses there. But, it is evident that the team is upset about the benching of Taylor. You're telling me that Fitz wouldn't have engaged the offense even before the game started to get them motivated to play? But, let's say that their poor attitude carries all the way over to the first offensive snap, and it is evident that the offense is not doing their jobs. Do you think that Fitz's leadership would have had no sway on that field? Do you think that Tom Brady's* leadership would have had no sway on that field? The problem with your narrative is that you won't allow any of the blame for the performance of the offense to land on its on-field leader. If the offense, itself, were playing far worse under Nate Peterman than they were under Tyrod Taylor (and, they were. I was at Stubhub Stadium that day) how is that not a poor reflection on Nate Peterman? The five interceptions only tell half the story. The offense looked like a different team because Peterman did not have a command over the offense. Well, the Patriots* better get rid of that bum, Tom Brady*. His 2017 completion percentage was only 66.3%.

You are correct. You have failed to explain your position. I highly doubt you have convinced anybody that the Bills offense was not capable of being led by any other QB than Tyrod Taylor, or that it didn't matter who was under center, or that leadership doesn't matter. And, thank goodness you are done trying.

Sure. And I'll say I do agree that he has improved as a QB since that game, at least, to some degree.

I've said, much earlier in this thread, that the five picks Peterman threw only told part of the story. In the first half of that game, confusion reigned. When Tyrod came out in the second half, the entire offense (not just the line) looked like a different team. You say that has nothing to do with Peterman's leadership abilities. You say that it doesn't matter who the QB was-- that any other QB (other than Tyrod Taylor), under the same circumstances, would have failed just as spectacularly. I call BS. You can blame the O-line. You can blame McD for putting him out there before he was ready. You can blame Tyrod for casting a spell, and charming the professionalism out of his teammates. You can blame Peterman for not having the ability to lead, or inspire his teammates. YOU DECIDE Facts matter.

Here is a shot of the pool I run at work. This gets me pumped.

To be fair, there are protocols that are learned from time on the forum. One of them is to use the search function, or just look at the current list of active threads, and see if the topic is being discussed in another thread (or, as in this case, multiple threads). Starting topics that are redundant crowds the forum, and this thread is egregiously redundant.

You don't think Miller has potential? I do. Also, are you assuming Groy is C?
