To be fair, not many teams have done all that much. The market is working out perfectly for us because we didn’t have the money to make big splashes. I’m thinking the Bills have some offers out and are hoping they choose us over making a little more money elsewhere like Harty. We can still get some key pieces at bargain prices. We just have to stick to our guns and let it all play out. Now if a feeding frenzy begins and players aren’t choosing us, then it gets a little worrisome because I know Beane will still try to sign 3rd and 4th options. Once he has a position in mind to fill, he usually sticks to that. Like a dog with a bone.

Unfortunately I don’t think you can institutionalize someone for being a prick. He is, but he’s also a prick. Which I’m actually kinda into.

Haha ZOMG Roffel ROFL lol! We’re good… now go get your shine box!

This hit harder in your head.

I hate when players do this us vs. them with their own fanbase. It pisses me off. At least it’s not a current player. Let’s see Lee stand out in the cold and rain cheering every down. The I’ll listen to what he has to say about it. Did he play in the elements, sure, and he was getting paid handsomely to do it. We pay good money for that privilege. I think that should come with being able to have our own opinions about it.

The Bills started out the season being third in qb pressures and looked excellent. Once Von went down, we were in the mid 20’s and our dbs were getting picked on. Like you stated we then looked mediocre. When Von went down, so did our SB bid.

I didn’t see an insult in there. His post came off a tad aggressive but he’s kinda right. What are the guys options? He can either get on board and accept that things change with time, or he can find something else to do with that time. If he wants to plop himself In front of a tv and get entertained, it’s sports (all of which have become a bit of a spectacle) or new tv shows. I kinda think you guys are missing the point a bit. The NFL is huge, it’s only going to get bigger and more grandiose. You can either accept that and enjoy it for what it is, or just sit there hating every minute of it because it wasn’t what it once was. That’s your call, but if I felt that way I’d want to find something else to do with that time.

I definitely don’t have all the same feels as I used to. I can still get amped for big games, though only Bills games. Last night was “meh” for me. But mostly because I didn’t care about either team. I feel like most of that is just getting older though. Things just kinda lose a little luster with time. Like Ally Sheedy said in the coming of age classic “when you grow up, your heart dies.” It’s a bit on the dramatic side, but comes with some truth. With that said, there are lots of things I loved as a kid that I couldn’t care less about now. If the NFL bugs you this much, maybe it’s one of those things for you. No shame in it. Just do something else for a while. Maybe you’ll come back to it when you can watch for the what it promises, which is entertainment. If it’s not entertaining you, find something that does.

Nah… it’s even more obvious than that. It’s pretty simple, Von Miller was the missing piece. We needed a rush and before he was hurt we were like third in the league at qb pressures. We looked excellent. After the injury, we were in the mid 20’s and our db’s were getting picked on with the lack of rush. When he went down so did our SB hopes. It’s as easy as that. Now we’re going to lose a bunch of pieces and it’ll take a magical effort from Beane in the offseason to keep this train rolling. I know that simplification lacks the drama of “softer than custard” but it’s the truth. That “don’t blink” motto he brought to the team resonated with them. Once he was off the sidelines and field to remind them, they got caught blinking.

I don’t know what everyone is expecting him to say? We all wanted him to push his chips and go all-in. He did that, his second ace fell off the table (Von) and we lost the hand. All he can say is we have to lie in the bed we made. We have Josh, Von comes back, we’re going to lose a few guys but we have our draft picks and we should still be able to make a few deals, though not blockbusters. That’s where we are. It’s not like everyone didn’t know this would be the issue if we didn’t win it all. I mean, unless you’re a n00b, you saw the writing on the wall. It’s certainly not the most enviable position, but it’s far from the worst. We have a franchise qb, and some good pieces. He’s 100% right. With Josh we’ll never be a bottomed out, draft top five team. We’ll have to be creative. Which Beane is, so, yeah, that’s where we are.

Just happened to me in Pittsburgh last weekend. On a side note, why do the Bills always get crapped on for their stadium? Pittsburgh’s looks Grossville.

I like Bill Burr and I liked it until he said we care about the Pats, but they dont care about us. It reminded me how much I dislike that some of our own fans think we had a rivalry with them. We didn’t, we were never good at the same time. The only real rivalry between the two teams were in some bills fans heads. They looked down on us for 20 years, and now it’s our turn to return the favor. Pats are yesterdays news, time to turn the page. If anything the only rivalry being renewed is with the Dolphins!

I think it’s fair. KC did what they needed to do. It’s not their fault we didn’t finish our game. With that said, we did kinda get a bye week Bengals week(offense played one drive, defense played a drive and a half), and now it’s guaranteed we don’t have to go to arrowhead. It’s not perfect, but there’s no guarantee we won that game against Cinci. They were playing hot, and they got the short end of the deal as well. Is what it is.

Sure, if you just look at it that way. You’d have to consider every play that we either made or didn’t make as well then. Outside of the blowout games, every team that lost to us by one score can say the same thing. “One play.” That’s the game and why winning is hard.

I didn’t read the whole thread, so I dont know if it was mentioned but they tried hurtling our D twice too. They were definitely fired up and wanted to make a point, showing Josh isn’t the only guy that can hurdle. Though theirs didn’t look as pretty as Josh’s since the D did a good job tangling them up mid jump.

RENEGADE!!! Also, call me maybe.

That’s not what Adam’s said. I think I’ll take his word over a random Bills fan on a Buffalo Bills message board.

I already pointed out where you were wrong. You said he didn’t join the Raiders to be on a team with Carr. He said he did, with his own mouth. You and I both know a contracted player can’t just leave a team because he’s unhappy. So your logic about my logic is flawed. There’s zero benefit for Adams to say he went there to work with Carr after he’s been sat, and is almost assuredly cut in the off-season other than letting the team know he’s unhappy with the choice. Just freakin’ admit you were wrong. All it will do is build a strong trust and bond for us going forward. Don’t you want that for us?!

I take everything too seriously? Maybe you have me confused with someone else. I have zero interest in Carr or the Raiders, I was just pointing out that Devante said the exact opposite of what you suggested. You can just admit when you’re wrong, it’s not that big a deal. Bwah-hahahahahahaRoflRoffelhaha!’n!!

Do you always laugh maniacally after finishing your thought, or is that an internet thing? Either way it gives me a big ol’ case of the creeps.

What could he possibly gain from that?

I mean, maybe he’s lying but he just flat out said he went to the Raiders because of Carr. “"Obviously, I don't think anybody was excited about it in here," Adams said, via Levi Edwards of the Raiders. "Him being one of my really good friends and the reason why I came here in the first place. I mean, I wouldn't be here right now if he wasn't here. I think everybody knows how I feel about him. With that said, this is the process of how things go, and I'm not gonna sit here and go on and on, but obviously I support my guy, and we gotta finish the season out the best way we can possible with all things considered at this point."”

There’s got to be more to this story. I mean, he has his own line of bleu cheese, hot sauce, bbq sauce. There’s absolutely no way he’d just attach his name to something he didn’t have a hand in creating or at least a small interest in!

He wanted to get his chance in the media. Probably knows of some other big names retiring (Brady, maybe?) and realizes his news will be dwarfed.

It’s all in fun, you need to re-lax! Go get yourself a new years massage or something. Not a Watson massage. Just a regular old massage should do.
