Shaw, I know from your posts and our past conversations that we’re about the same age and longevity as Bills fans. I put it to you that it’s not supposed to be this difficult to win the thing! For years we were told ‘Ralph is too cheap’; until he obviously wasn’t. Then we wondered in the wilderness for a couple of decades, being told ‘you’ve got to get a franchise QB’; until we obviously got one. So…here we are having finished Year Five with that franchise guy and with the Owner having spent all the money in the storehouse. The Josh Allen window will not stay open forever. Somebody has to fix things, now! If the structure of player contracts makes it impossible to change the roster, then you have to change the coaches, or at the very least a Coordinator or both. The Team’s out of options and at least this fan is completely exhausted from the laundry list of excuses. Again….it’s simply NOT supposed to be this hard to win the darn thing…it just isn’t.

You’re messing your own bed just fine today. Don’t expect anyone to bail you out.

Almost certainly so. But that doesn’t mean that the fans can’t have a bit of fun with it.

I’m guessing you are a whole lot younger than me.

Let me guess….you don’t understand that reference. Okay….you are clearly not an American! Enough already. If nothing else, we learned one thing today: Tiberius is NOT an American.

And the shark is once again completely jumped. Faceplant.

You didn’t ask that. YOU asked: what crimes?

Just the low hanging fruit: Cocaine possession Soliciting prostitution Illegally Disposing of a handgun Sexual harassment Or are those all protected by the rampant White Privilege you supposedly deplore?

Interview went something like this: So when it’s 4th and 19, do you teach the secondary to knock the ball down or go for the interception? Take your time…..

There wasn’t anybody available in Carolina?

What sort of depositions were you involved with in which your lawyers said much more than "good morning" and "my client doesn't have to answer that"?

Come on people. You're telling me the Bills cannot find a RB in the draft that can eek out another foot, or even less, per carry? Of course they can! We are not talking about the difference between averaging 3.5 and 7.5 yards per carry here. You cannot pay everyone. Invest in the Offensive Line and I guarantee that the rookie RB will get that few inches per carry back for you.

We definitely agree there. It’s the ‘virtually’ that’s the qualifier. This was a storybook opportunity. Unfortunately life isn’t always a storybook, and sometimes the circumstances get the best of people. They rarely make movies about the teams that don’t rise to the challenge.

Shaw, your response answered it quite nicely. Unless the Bills fielded an entire roster of total losers (which I do not believe) then it is indeed up to the coaches to prepare them. The Bengals coaches clearly did! Von Miller’s been missing for a month. This was NOT the 49ers losing their starting quarterback in the first quarter. The Bills were simply not ready to play…period. A huge opportunity totally wasted.

I find it hilarious that the NYT chose a photo of a person doing janitorial work all alone in an empty subway train while wearing a mask. I thought we were looking for ‘coding’ professionals? No?

I’m far less optimistic than Shaw. This was the year for the Bills to at least make it to the Super Bowl, if not win it. They had everything going for them. They’d earned the right to play at home, including NOT going to Arrowhead. They had adversity at their backs, NOT in front of them. They’d be playing three significantly wounded AFC opponents to get there. They’d acquired the experience of the last few years playoff heartbreaks. All of that pointed to a run for a championship! But nope, their coaches were lost in the moment. They didn’t properly prepare the team to win in the circumstances. The players were exhausted? Hardly! The coaches (who’s job it is to keep that from happening) let the players down BIG TIME.

Or…we could just get a halfway decent offensive and defensive line this coming year and stop all the other ancillary nonsense.

Most importantly, after a loss, (and I think they attend a seminar on this one)…they go up to the microphone and tell the media that “it’s really to hard to win in the NFL”.

Nah….we were on the bullet train to Paris the next morning. 😉

So if I understand this correctly, Hunter Biden is now admitting that this is indeed his laptop. Wonderful! He and his corrupt father could’ve saved the nation a ton of time and money.

I couldn’t agree more. And when we go to Hawaii the Bills typically kickoff at 7:00am….breakfast at the sports bar during the game and then you hit the beach!

So you’re suggesting Josh should go to the USFL for a couple years? 😉

Many Mock Drafts show the Bills taking a big rookie Guard from Florida.

I have definitely noticed the same thing and was going to ask what others thought. How does one end up posting on a Buffalo Bills Message Board and yet NEVER comment on the football side? Not even a sarcastic comment? Not a childish meme? Nothing? My funny experience just today, was that I started a thread (which I almost never do), and posted it on the Political Side of the Board. It's only relation to politics was that it mentioned a Trump staffer on national television (who I figured nobody on the football side would know), and yet the moderators pushed it over to the football side. The results were both good and bad.

By the time the game was over, I guess we all did. 😉
