Yes. You are. No comment on the sabres - not my thing. Seven years? Shoot. I was abucted into bill's fandom back in the mid 80s. Back to back 2-14 seasons and our top drafted QB said no Effin way and escaped to the usfl. Jim Kelly. Those were my awkward middle school years where suddenly grades had letters and not sweet nothings from one el ed teacher. Add angry, alcoholic, old school afl bills fan father and it was classic brainwashing. Ha. "Please god! Report cards are due any day now. Just please let the bills win this Sunday! I'll never ask for anything ever again." The 2018 bills are the process. Josh is the man if he can stay healthy and positive minded. I can see it. Now we build and what better way to covet our QB which 2017 brought us than to get good draft picks. We blew our load - fecklessly - in 2017 with want of a playoff loss. Not my want but water under the bridge. Likely, you wanted that - simply playing the odds on that prediction. Anyhow, here we are, 2017 was never the year and 2018 is even more so not the year. For those of us who remember well 1986, a 4-12 season which saw Kelly as QB after those back to back 2-14 seasons, we smelled change; and we were right. The meat on the table was usually cooked even when the bills lost. The rest is history. I am a cynic. When this town has gotten excited going 4-0 in the past 20 years I have not. I see no reason to fault McD and the process right now; other than maybe trying for the playoffs and making it last year as it cost us dradt stock to get our QB. . .though it likely also taught some.of the young guys not to accept losing and so I may be wrong. Go 2020 bills! This appears to be a good base to build from. Not too shabby just a year plus removed from the Ryan cancer.

Anyone know how he's doing? Sorry to start a new thread but dood looks to have taken a hard hit of helmet to skull and was bleeding more than a little from his scalp or forehead. I found it curious how the broadcast never mentioned all the blood nor the helmet to head - they only replayed the same view where the ref was blocking the hit. I did not even hear an update on him in the second half. Seems they wanted it to not be a thing. Hope he's ok.

Screw you. Root for NE next time; better yet, Dallas.

Chemical - I've provided reasons as to why this year is what it is as well as reasons why be happy and look forward. Why the process is still on track. Several posts to you here. So I call BS - you really just want to whine is all. I quoted chemical from a raoulduke post. I'm replying to chemical though. So no offense to you rauol. Newbie error.

The last time they were a good team was the season before rex Ryan. That team had a great defense. All we needed was a serviceable offense and we xould have made a splash. Enter rex and his convuluted defensive scheme and that team was gone instantly. The rest brings us to now - the first time we have a reason to hope again - hope for the drafts and cap space to really get us going with the young talent we have on hand today.

Good show. I agree. People here are questioning why they traded watkins and darius, etc - they likely felt the need to fumigate the place after the Ryan idiot brothers left. I trust these guys a whole lot more tha ln I do the ryans! It's year two of a rebuild which started with removing the video games and recliners - and year 1 saw the playoff game and the trade down fpr QB most of you all insisted upon. It's way too early to be bitching so. One Bill's Drive has seen years of player dipshittery. We know this from players sometimes publically complaining about it. If we are to ever succeed we need the locker room to be seriously dedicated to winning. McD is and is demanding that of the team. Yes, we dumped some good talent which would he good to have on the field right now BUT if it was a cancer in the locker room then we would have paid heavily for it in three year's when we - hopefully - have a talented team which is not infected with dipshittery. Last note - the eagles dis exactly this and had a yard sale with tons of talent when the new mgmt arrived. Three years ago was it? And they won the SB seven months ago. they can smell the locker room cancer a lot better than we can. They were hired to do a job that needed doing. Let them do it. Young cancer or old cancer - cut it out.

No matter. We trade up our top pick and get several 1, 2 or 3 round picks, etc. We got our QB (hopefully - but certainly for the next two years) and should not worry about a top four draft pick spot as much as the many holes we have to fill.

Why so sad about being worst team in the league during an obvious rebuilding year? I would be more pissed if we were the 5th worst. Watch josh and edmunds and white develop - and watch for others yet unknown to step up amd announce their names this year. Fantasize about the draft and 2019. I mean, how did you not know what this season was? Many attacked me a month ago for calling this a rebuild year. If I know more about the bills than anyone here then yer doing it all wrong! Ha. I come here to learn not teach this stuff. Lead with logic and not emotion - save the emotions for when we're a winning team in a couple.or three years.

This is evidence as to why buffalo health care saw an uptick in depression and anxiesty related health visits after each of the four super bowls. Sakes people. Why so emo? It was never about this year. It was never supposed to have been about last year either.

Not sure why so many are suggesting cleveland. Recent years records or tyrod hate? They have the number 1 drafted qb and ton of other picks - several year's worth. Tyrod is consistent and can get them at least 5 or 6 wins if left in all year. I'd say that's their floor. We won't see 5 wins.

More good draft picks! Trade up as we have a lot of issues. WRs and oline to start with. Week 5 bills vs titans, oct 7. Could be one of the most meaningful games of our season. Lol.

What I saw last night was jets receivers actually catching the balls thrown to them. It really makes a difference.

It worked for the eagles.

You guys (mostly) wanted to end the streak and get your QB. You did both. So why all the emo carping about this season? It is what is. Call it tank, rebuild or process. Deal with it like grown men. Gosh. One would think we wpuld collectively have thick ass skin by now. Those bitching - do you really want about 8-8 again this season? 3-13 and growing would be better than another feckless 8-8. Tank? Nah. It looks like will work itself out. Go.with it. Always forward and never straight; or something.

I agree with OP. I even want to n8 to start game 2. Let JA come in with no pressure and leave with confidence like he did yesterday. As for why bench TT last year likely because they were moving on from him amd wanted to evaluate in house talent. My question is why so little Peterman in the late games as that would have saved us time this summer; the answer is that everyone wanted 17 to jot he 18.

Here's more positive news (of sorts) - going roughly 8-8 year after year sure got us no place fast and we shouldn't need worry about that happening this year. ;o)

Our WRs can't catch the balls that are well thrown a lot of the time. QB I agree. . .the WR team is trash though. Looked no better than last year and we had traded our #1 and #2 WR 7 days before regular season started last year. Yesterday was shameful at that position.

Because she's not a bills fan? Ha I remember the first four games of 2017 as being a lot of fun to watch our defense though. I think we had a +16 or +17 turn over ratio after only four games. Then our D fell apart and was junk for four or five games before ending the last half or so of the season as fairly ok.

In the second qtr zay had a pass bounce off him. About a 15 or 20 yd pass right to his chest. Announcer said the defender blocked it but I rewatched and there were no foreign arms in there. Bounced hard off his hands else numbers.

They needed to run a lot more yesterday. Saying the run game wasn't working makes no sense as the passing game sure as hell wasn't either and yet we kept at that. Anyone else notice the 15 yards pass to zay jones that bounced off zay's hands else chest? Second quarter I think. Announcer stated the pass was blocked but I rewatched a few times and did not see the defense get his hand in front of zay. Our eligable receivers look like they did last year - unable to catch. Hard to have a good running game with no passing game. Regardless of who our QB is those guys need to fix the basics. Too many simple but hard thrown passes get dropped.

Cripes. How are you guys going to sound when we're 1-3 or 0-4 in a few weeks? Toughen up. How are you so thinned skinned after all we have been through? Quiz: We have a possible franchise QB right out of college with no oline and crap defense and butter fingers throughout the eligible receivers. Question: what is the relevant piece of information in the above sentence?

No mention of CB Gaines here yet. They seemed to find him open for business in their first drive of the game and then picked that nit a lot.

Those are always the best jokes.

I'm not checking out. Today was fine. I didn't get rained on. I left the broadcast with warm fuzzies about JA's ceiling and future. And draft picks plus cap space are what the doctor is ordering. you guys seem all bent about this - if you actuallt thought the bills had a better than 10% chance of winning today - regardless of starting QB - then you're nuts.

Because you guys all thought the number 17 was better than 18 when the numbers that actually matter in a rebuild are the draft order.
