Three years ago, rex year 1 I think, my son was 8 years old and was watching the game next to me. He had really gotten into football that fall and was watching way more games than I cared to. I turned and saw he was crying. He saw me and bawled "do I have to be a Bills fan?" Ha. I let him root for an NFC team (seahawks to date) but told him simply "yes, son. It's what we do." Lol. True stuff. OP said he was age 13. That makes perfect sense to me. Those who make it to middle school, when grades have real letters and not just stock qoute sweet nothings from a teacher, without caring about the Bills will soon be indoctrinated via brainwashing. I was into baseball and not much for football in elementary. Then the grades were real. "Please, please let the bills win this weekend! Report cards are being mailed in a few days." It's a fact. I doubt I'm alone here. Meh, builds character - something cowboys fans know nothing about! So, we got that at least.

You sound like the typical bills fan who just complains instantly and is the reason why we never get nice things. Had Peyton manning started here in his first season against the four teams we just played and with this offense you would tarred and feathered him out of town. Try decafe or may an herbal tea tomorrow.

My hound dog gets a treat everytime the bills score. Yeaterday I felt bad and so hooked him up after the game ended.

Chillax. Was jokes. Napolean dynamite. Gosh. I love Canada and especially it's women!

Damned Canadians. Stick with the flutie jersey. Gosh. Idiot!

The theme of the day for Biils passing game was our WRs cannot catch and josh was quickly under attack most every play.

Shoulda tried the elusive onside punt. /s

Well, he can't - he made his username based on it. Everytime JA completes a pass he looks like a dork.

At least the packer who's pitching is gentleman enough to give Josh a reach around. Respect!

As far as his performance this season goes, we've seen time and again that the nation does not watch bills games and generally just go with the talking points. We know what he is but I bet there's a team out there not in the know and will assume he could be an addition.

Oh, man - was I wrong! Dood has seven children per Wikipedia. He's 25 yo. That explains that. Concussions be damned I reckon. What's wrong with these guys?

Or maybe a clear sign that he has learned to not have faith in the oline holding together.

I have said over the years that buffalo destroys young QBs. Seems to be a habit. I do also agree though that barring critical injury, this oline and WR problem should not ruin him.if we can fix it in the next year or two. I suspect it's us that gets to these QBs. Us includes press and fans. Buffalo is hard on them and lacking patience maybe. This kid and this mgmt staff need at least until then end of next season before all of this negative, start over talk. How can we expect to have nice things when we run everyone out of town?

Last year he carried our offense to end the streak. When he was pounding the turf in pain in game 16 and then carted off the field we knew it was our offense on that golf cart. He's not young and not in his prime but c'mon already.

Nice guy. Took my 10 year old son to a signing. No one there and he was real friendly. Glad to hear he's feeling well but I always thought what happened was somewhat not an accident. He and his wife had first child that off season and his history of serious concusions made me think maybe they decided he needed to walk away from the game. The signing was his last week of concussion recovery that year and he said he had spent a week in a pitch dark room with no sound as part of healing. I think he had two bad ones in college previously. Hopefully they are smart and get a $150k house in a decent burb with low property taxes and live a decent normal life. Not sure how much he made from the NFL but a free home and the money to cover 50 years of property taxes is a nice crutch at least. Worst case scenario I hope.

Exactly. The so called process is doing as a realist would expect. Last off season was hugely exciting and, unless one is QB centric, this one will be even more exciting for the Bills. I'm also curioud about next week when we finally see a non playoff potential team for the first time. No pressure in my mind but am interested in seeing how our parts work against mediocrity.

I predicted 0-4 and have already declared this season a success; barring any major injuries which might carry beyond this season. Good times here. No oline and no WRs and we shoulda seen that in pre season. D was great last week - leave that to others to discuss. We have a great CB, QB which are young. Edmunds hopefully and god willing, young zay jones finds some good gloves that work for him! Ha Then off season fill ups.

Yer chin strap start smelling like that beard?

Why do our jersey numbers look like a 1976 digital clock?

The bills will win this Sunday. I say this only as a 40+ year fan. Just as by the early 90s we had learned never to give up hope as 2:00 csn mean 20 points for us, the modern era has taught me that the bills are not going to let us down so easily after last week - they will win again and look great, get hopes up up high and then fail hard against the lowly titans. Ha.

Nooo! Then they get a high draft slot. I would love to see the pats stuck in the 7-9 and 8-8 rut for 20 years. Go fish!

If I had a team i would train my eligable receivers and QBs to become experts at drawing the pass interference flags against their defenders. Everything from tricks which cause the other team to foul or how to position yourself to likely be fouled else appear to have fouled to smack talking the secondary all day. Then throw deep a lot - maybe even barely uncatchable passes that cannot be intercepted in bounds. Cheap - but make the rules work for you. The PI penalty is far too powerful to not exploit. Grab an extra 100 yards a game just from magic tricks. Ha.

A bit curious that this thread is in a bills forum - we have not had a strong passing game in recent years and had a top RB and running QB. The stats above do show the opening comment to be wrong or greatly exaggerated - not discounting the poster - yet most of us do see this trend. Maybe it has to do with the games being widely televised are more often top passing teams? Or when two medicore teams play it's regional coverage only? And maybe newer products such as red zone coverage which is not showing the 4 yard run that was not for 6 points are also causing this perception? Anyhow, passing is the future for sure as mentioned already - most fans like it. QB and WR protections are also only going to increase, not only for sales but also for the brain damage law suits from former players. Edit - and the DH is never going away in MLB. Not a chance.

His initials are RR (as are those of his equally idiotic brother); please do not say the name - ever.

Why would you wish for the bills to waste a ton of money on an aged, prema Donna, locker room cancer WR, in a year where we are not contenders? We need WRs but we mostly need them to get ready for a possible push in 2 or 3 years.
