The Bills Blog

We didn't score 30 against the Vikings...

Exactly. It's to be expected. Short week after an emotional letdown game, the Bears have the edge in passion today.

Daboll won't get fired because he is from WNY and McD would feel bad.

The only reason McCoy is still getting carries is because he is McCoy.

How do we hear smart people all week talking about how Ivory needs the carries and McCoy just needs to be a receiver, and the coaches don't see this obvious truth?

I just want him to stick around for one more year so he can get his pension.

You wrote: "You also made a thread complaining about how all the Bills fans at the Monday night game weren't trying to assault the Patriots fans like you were." Nowhere in that thread did I complain about anyone not assaulting Patriots fans. Come on. I complained about them smiling and dancing on the video boards. I never suggested that anyone should assault anyone. Apparently one parenthetical phrase changed the meaning of the whole thread and will also force me to get another screen name because no one will ever let me live it down. Exhibit A: that thread has literally nothing to do with this one, yet you still brought it up for some reason. To answer your question about picks being posted, no, they are not online; they are on paper at work. Next year I plan to post them all so I have proof that my theory works. But, I'm sure you'll come back with something sarcastic because I can't possibly have a good method for picking games since I made a mistake and almost assaulted a Patriots fan once. My life is over, you know. I can't possibly have anything of value to offer.

That's a gross mischaracterization, and seriously, what does that have to do with this?

For the season, I have a 2-game lead on the #1 expert web-wide (per nflpickwatch.com). And I'm taking the Bills this week.

I think it's McD trying to save as much face as possible with the Peterman situation. "All week we were hoping that Derek would be ready to go, but when that didn't materialize, our best option was to start Nate."

Yeah, the guy who in PMs called me a "nutjob", told me to "get f*cked", doubled down on his criticism of my eating and exercise habits (even after I told him they're good), and referred to pharmaceutical help as "useless" -- all after knowing about my mental issues -- is a great guy and I'm the loon. Right.

That's exactly what this was. What's really odd to me is that the reaction on this thread is almost completely different from the reaction on the other thread about fan behavior in opposing stadiums. This guy needed something to be said to him, and I took care of it and he left. Yes, I almost lost control and shouldn't have, but ultimately it was fine.

Sending you a PM.

Wow. Just wow. Seriously man, wow.

I have several. Send me your address and I'll mail it to you for cheaper than eBay.

Of course. Why else would I use the adjective? What kind of point are you trying to make?

In all seriousness, I'm trying. I'm on two waiting lists, trying to get treatment for major depression and being suicidal.

I'm 30, so you might say young. I think what's sad is that as I feel my emotional investment dwindling on a game-by-game basis (daughter and career...), I worry that I won't feel the positive emotions as much when we actually do become successful. That would be a shame after all these years feeling the pain so much.

The guy I almost assaulted was being incomprehensibly disrespectful and deserved to get his teeth kicked in. Having said that, when I got in his face the second time and told him to shut up, he left. Regarding this topic in general, I think it's a really bad look for the TV audience to see our fans partying when we're losing.

I have a question about the fans at the stadium. Maybe some who read this are among the group I'm referring to with this question. When the pick-six happened and the game was suddenly lost -- one play after the overturned TD -- how are the fans on the video board still smiling and laughing and dancing and having a great time? Seriously, what is going on? You're dressed up in all that gear, but are you actually a Bills fan? This is supremely confusing and frustrating to me. You come to the stadium but you don't care what happens in the game? My brother and I were pissed -- he restrained me from assaulting a gloating Pats fan -- and I don't understand what's going on with these "fans."

To see Owens at the stadium in his Bills hat and everything, it was pretty darn cool. He's one of my favorites. Not sure why he was motivated to come back last night; wish I knew more.

Oh, we're trading for Adrian Peterson too?

I find this hilarious. You offer him a contract and he chooses not to sign. We're that bad.

How often are they going to have four wide receivers on the field at the same time? They also have Ertz and several backs that they like to split out.

Who is Tony Soprano?
