I agree with OP's analysis. Such a viewpoint will be deeply unpopular and will garner many critical replies. There's probably three of us on the board thinking the same way.

I will say the un-sayable: Poyer and Hyde are ancient and have lost a step. They got burned on a TD last night.

I disagree with the premise, but I read the full post (and most of the replies) because you didn't call McDermott a stupid nickname.

Your analysis is correct. You're pissing in the Wheaties of the Madden-types who play in cheat-mode and say things like "the cap isn't real," and they imagine all players want to play in Buffalo. You'll be flamed.

You don't know what went on between Beane and DeAndre Hopkins. Though, you can surmise from how things have played out: DeAndre is WR1 in Tennessee, he had little interest in being Buffalo WR2, splitting touches with Diggs and whoever was going play slot-type WR (that turned out to be Kincaid). I doubt it. A lot of GMs will see that missed route from last night.

If you can't find a legit Bills bar, a good plan B is Buffalo Wild Wings. Cleveland has two. One of their TVs has gotta be on the Bills game.

Oh, that's not good. We'd have to rely on Cook/Murray against the league's number 1 rushing defense. National Weather Service "Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible." That's a nothing burger weather wise. Let's hope they're right.

Rodgers feels guilt..? He would be a good Catholic if it weren't for the Ayahuasca.

The Eagles have the number 1 rushing defense in the league. They stuff the run. In light of that, I predict Joe Brady will revert to what Joe Brady knows best: passing. I expect a pass heavy game. There won't be much of Cook or Murray. Fournette won't even be active. I hope Brady is good. The positive news is there is only one game of tape on Brady, so his tendencies are unknown at this time. Bills Defense: the Eagles are going to light us up. Holding the Jets to 6 was child's play and is not a predictor of performance against a good team. The game will come down to Brady's play calling and which Josh Allen shows up.

...and that Big Baller Beane traded up and jumped the Cowboys to pick up Kincaid is just icing on the cake. (the Cowboys were thought to be gunning for Kincaid with their pick) Anything detrimental to Jerry Jones just warms my heart.

I lived nearby when it opened. The place is only 26 years old. That's a teenager in public infrastructure years, not even. No hot water? What a dump. Crummy neighborhood also.

Yeah, that's why I get a buzz cut every 5 weeks. I'd go more often if the barber weren't so expensive. No. 1 on the sides. No. 2 on top. A habit from my military days. You're right, Gardner is a punk. I didn't like seeing Diggs get slammed, but it had a silver lining in seeing Gardner lose his cool. I had to Google the word suplex.

I love this bipolar place. After loss, it's all knives and pitchforks. After a win, it's land of milk and honey optimism. It's been a pleasure to read today. Last week was rough.

I Googled. They are PURPLE inside.

I don't know. I'm excited about Fournette but Latavius Murray did a good job on his few carries last week.

Good. I'd like to see them use up their draft capital in a trade. The long-term implication would be good for the Bills.

Yep. Today is a must win. I will forgive losses in KC or Philly. The mood here Monday will be FOUL if they lose today. If they lose, I may take a hiatus from reading fan boards. They would be dominated by low-quality rants and be depressing to an unhealthy extent.

I see what you did there. That's pretty funny, especially given ZW's reputation.

I used to look forward to Bills games these last few years, because I felt a victory was likely. Now I'm not so certain. These could be drought quality Bills and that makes game days less enjoyable. I'm just not bubbling with confidence that Joe Brady can do it. Coach firings should be in the offseason.

Araiza should be pursuing her with a Civil Malicious Prosecution case.

There are 32 teams and Araiza isn't playing for one of them. What is keeping him out of the NFL? I thought his name was cleared. I say sign him.

The years of despair. Here are some names to stir up bad memories: Gregg Williams Mike Mularkey Dick Jauron Perry Fewell Chan Gailey Doug Marrone Rex Ryan Remember... those coaches were ostensibly the best hire available, the hottest name of those willing to move to WNY. When I assess the performance of the current regime, I contrast it with the above names. If you fire McDermott and replace him with the newest fad best hire available, it is statistically likely you hire a dud and we're back to years of futility.

A nice balanced write up. Though the quoted part won't win you a lot of friends amongst the legions of anti-McDermott bullies around here.

Yes. It's quite the echo chamber around here. I am very glad Bills staff do not hang out here, they have better things to do.
