  1. Sad news. Just about the worst there is.
  2. Why is their a pop music concert in the middle of a football game anyway? Lose it.
  3. Right now, every team on the schedule is better than the Bills so 0-16 would not be a shock. Still, it is almost impossible to not win at least one game by accident so my prediction is 1 to 3 wins.
  4. Roughly 40 of the 50 million was created by Beanie and Cecil.
  5. So we only talk about Bills players? Gonna make it hard this week to discuss what that other QB did from that other team the Bills played today, the one with those guys from another city somewhere.
  6. I intend to wait until the post preseason is over at the end of the month before I get too critical but so far, your analysis is exactly what I'm seeing. BTW, the much-maligned O line gave Allen a ton of time to throw today most of the time.
  7. The D looks impossibly slow, as well as timid, and physically weak when it comes to tackling.
  8. What the hell, start Conor McDermott too.
  9. The helmet color was done for Ferguson who was color blind.
  10. And the Bills had Tyrod, they had AJ, and McD decided he was good to go with a rookie project and a highly suspect Peterman. If Allen gets hurt - I fear that more than him sucking - Holy McDermott, this season will be an historic wreck.
  11. I 'm beginning to think the culture McD claims he's building has a whole lot to do with exactly that. Anyone know if Castro is an evangelical Christian? Ducasse? Benjamin?
  12. This isn't the 60s anymore. No team (at least no consistently successful team) does a "raze and rebuild" these days. Slow moving, multi-year doesn't work anymore. You absolutely have to hit on your draft picks and use that 4 and 5 year window to bring in your expensive FAs and to sign your own picks to extended contracts if they've showed you they're worth it. And the most critical signing (duh) is the "franchise QB." And to make sure that QB doesn't get killed, you go with the old cliche: You build the team from front to back, inside to outside. If you know Beane or McDermott, would you please pass that along to them? In my case, I wouldn't know how to build a 100 story skyscraper. But I do think I'd question the architect if he was building it on a foundation of hay bales.
  13. "I bless the rains down in Africa..."
  14. A dead cap situation they contributed to mightly.
  15. Crazy Horse had a better one.
  16. They would be...in a vacuum. But this is year 18 of "rebuilding," of front office and coaching turnover, of incoherence in identity resulting in drafting for one coach who is replaced by another coach with a different approach so the former picks are dumped so the new regime can get "their guys," on and on. So it isn't like this has been a perennial top franchise just having an off year, this is who the Bills are. Except for a couple of fairly short successful stretches, the Bills have always been mediocre to awful and the current regime is looking more and more like they will continue that "tradition." So the " bottom feeders, " as you so nastily state, are the historically correct realists. As to those who refuse to acknowledge what they see right in front of them and demand non-critical support for "their" team, saying "Just give them more time," I remind them it's been 58 years and counting. How much more time should we be blindly positive, loyal and supportive?
  17. Sad I have to say this, but you are completely correct, and I attended the first Bills camp at Seymour Knox's estate and the first Bills game at the Rockpile, so I've seen a lot of crappy regimes. This one is looking more and more like "more of the same." I'm beginning to think McBeane's "vision" is more about creating an intense Fellowship of Christian Athletes bible study group than a winning NFL team
  18. Those who are ragging on Star have no idea how to evaluate him. He and Kyle are supposed to occupy up to 4 O linemen opening the backfield for the ends & LBs. Looked to me like they did exactly that. The Ravens running game was held in check. If you have a criticism you might want to direct it to others on the D.
  19. Based on McBeane's short history here, which includes which players they cut, trade or let walk, and the FAs and draft picks they make, there is zero reason to believe they can identify talent. That they would commit so heavily to Vlad, Benjamin, Peterman, that they would open the season with only two very suspect and inexperienced QBs on the roster, that a receiver who always seemed to get open and nearly always catch the ball (Reilly) is cut while the roster WRs seemingly can do neither, that Clay continues to get the starts...these and about a dozen other head scratchers, make me feel like Team McBeane are , like Peterman, who they chose when they could have had Mahomes, they're just not competent enough for the NFL. But first, "We'll have to look at the tape."
  20. I didn't expect much from the Bills but I didn't expect this horror show. Too soon to write the season off completely (I will wait a month. Hopefully improvement is in the wind). Still, it is looking to me more & more like Beane and McDermott are in over their heads.
  21. Compounded by Beane dumping players who apparently don' "fit the process," with the Bills having to eat a ton of contract money, including Dareus's. As long as they're paying him, they might has well kept Mr. Big Stuff.
  22. If you put the ball anywhere near him, Reilly generally caught it. But he wasn't good enough to crack this WR lineup.
  23. Your standard for "hot" is very pedestrian.
