This thread is absurdly biased The Jets group of 4 is certainly better than the Bills group of 4. Maybe it’s somewhat close, but regardless it’s easy to acknowledge that the Jets group is better. Who cares though? The Bills are the better team and the Jets are giving their best attempt to lengthen their drought past our 17 seasons and that’s what matters. Why get caught up in semantics when our overall team is miles ahead of their overall team.

Every season has had a heartache loss in similar fashion that turned the season positively and led to a winning streak heading into the playoffs 2020 - Hail Murray, drop to 7-3 but win the next 6 to end the regular season before playoffs start 2021 - Tampa Bay OT loss where Allen took over in the second half and led a comeback just to fall a touch short. Drop to 7-6 but finish on a 4 game winning streak before playoffs 2022 - Vikings OT loss, got up early to a dominant start and just blew the game in an unfathomable way. Drop to 6-3 before finishing on a 7 game win streak heading into the playoffs 2023 - Eagles OT loss, again got up early to a dominant start and blew the game in an insane way. Drop to 6-6 before winning the last 5 games heading into the playoffs The heartbreak has been tough but something about it wakes the team up. Maybe this time we just need it to happen in week 17 or week 18 to keep the momentum throughout the playoff race

Surprised at how tempered these predictions are, usually not one for bold predictions but I guess I’m going bold with this one. The offense runs through Cook, Shakir & Kincaid this year. Kincaid has something like 80/1050/8 and establishes himself as a top 5 tight end

The people not understanding lake effect snow didn’t bother me one bit, they’re just either joking about it or truly ignorant to it. The people that frustrate and bother me are the soft ass Bills fans that are getting upset with those folks and feel a need to put their life on the line defending the team over every little thing. Just let it ride, who cares. Couldn’t open twitter yesterday without seeing thousands of tweets from Bills fans repeating the same stuff about how lake effect snow works and that people died in a blizzard last year. Just wanna go to that site to see cool stars and hype videos and instead it’s a bunch of agitated weirdo’s who take it all too seriously.

I forgot about this last year. I emptied an entire thing of napkins to clear my seats because there was a solid 4 inches of snow built up on them

You own a Bills Backer bar? So are you not paying for your Bills Backer Bar supporters to watch the game? Or are you not going to simply watch the game a Bills Backer Bar that you supposedly own? I can’t tell which option would be more ridiculous Oh no, didn’t even think about this option for the post above I just made. This is truly something 😭

for anyone that doesn’t get the reference ^^

i love that this joke is still relevant on this board over 5 years later

Wish this was a thread earlier in the offseason. It’d be nice to visit it at the end of the season and scroll through the relentless never stopping takes about the Bills being done

WGR is garbage imo Jeremy was much better before being teamed up with Joe Sal is terrific but can be a bit condescending without ever realizing and catching himself Chris Brown I thought was one of the best talents before becoming full time and I had consistently wished for him to be full time, and be careful what you wish for I suppose Steve Tasker doesn’t belong anywhere that he needs to use his words Bulldog is meh. Not necessarily bad but definitely doesn’t offer much value. I used to HATE Schopp and thought he was insufferable with constant pessimism, but since the Bills have became a good team I think he’s a legitimate talent and honestly the best person on WGR. The whole gambling talk is annoying, in regards of people complaining. It’s the way sports are trending, and honestly gambling in general is a very strong look at what consensus on sports are. Betting odds tell a lot of a story. TL;DR, Despite all having their downfalls, Jeremy, Sal & Schopp aren’t terrible. They’re actually pretty good. The rest of WGR, especially Joe DiBiase and Nate Geary are blah. Nothing against these guys personally, just always been a pet peeve of mine. The greater population of Buffalo looks to this station for their sports talk and you just can’t often tune in and hear anything knowledgeable or any sort of valuable insight. They’re all better fit for podcasts imo, it’s annoying to me that a radio station doesn’t employ better quality talents.

The defensive line started the year off phenomenally until Von’s injury, after a disappointing playoff loss last year Beane knew what he needed to address and he did so. It’s unfortunate that Von got injured at the same time that Rousseau and Oliver seemed to hit a regressive stretch, but he sought out to address the defensive line last year and without injury he would have done so successfully. Has he missed on Boogie and Epenesa? Yeah, he has. Tell me a GM that hits at 100% and I’ll show you how you’re wrong. Tell me a GM that hits at a rate higher than Beane and I’ll argue to my grave that Beane is better than almost every other GM in the league. The issue this offseason is the offensive line and wide receiver. Beane has earned my trust and confidence that he will set out to address the offensive line this offseason and he will do so. Might he draft a third round pick that turns into a bust in the process? Yeah, he might. It’s the NFL, it happens. But where he’s earned my faith is that he’ll over address it to the point that if he does draft a bust, there will be so many other additions on the line made that overall it will still display vastly improved play. My only issue with Beane thus far was the decision to go into the season with Gabe Davis as your WR2. It was short sighted and ignorant at the time, and it only looks worse after the season. Drafting a cornerback in the first round when you already had 3 All-Pro’s in your secondary, for a coach that has shown an ability to specialize in secondary development and get maximum contributions out of his players just made no sense then, and makes even less sense in hindsight after he split snaps with Benford and Jackson all season. We need to step back as fans, take a deep breath and evaluate the organization as a whole IN COMPARISON to the rest of the league. Very few teams are doing it better than our front office and coaching staff right now, and I might argue that with this consistency and longevity it may only be the Chiefs (and maybe the 49ers) doing it better. If you want to nitpick, then do just that, nitpick away. But leave it at that, it’s just nitpicking. The fire everybody, we’re never going to see success crowd and hot takes are out of control right now. We’ve turned into a spoiled fan base losing sight of what we have in front of us. From top to bottom, front office, coaching staff, roster talent, structure and etc, we are a top 5 organization in the NFL and we will be a top 5 organization in the NFL for years to come. Unfortunately we’re not the Chiefs, but when you’re a top 5 organization in the NFL for a decade plus, that level of consistency is going to get you a Lombardi, and maybe a few of them if luck strikes the right way.

Check the board for the first time since the Bengals game.. And you’re telling me that so far 70% of people (19-8 in the poll currently) think there’s a better chance that we don’t win a championship under McBeane and Allen? It was a rough playoff loss and embarrassing coaching, true. McDermott is still a top 8 coach in the league, true. Allen is still a top 3 quarterback in the league, true. McDermott & Allen are still a top 5 QB/Coach combo in the league, true. The first statement can be true at the same time as the next three. It’s unfortunate the way we lost, and it was outright embarrassing for the organization and the city & fans that invest their lives into this team for 5-6 months of the year, and others that do year round. But the amount of criticism I’ve seen surrounding Allen/McBeane since this loss is borderline unfathomable. Confidence and faith should still be very high that these guys bring us atleast 1 Lombardi, if not more. I was having the same meltdown the day after the game, and maybe even a couple after that. But come on, it’s 2 weeks later. Level yourselves. The Bills are still in a very elite class of the NFL and have turned into a model organization. It’ll come. And on that note, I guess I’ll have to keep TBD out of my search bar a little longer if this is still the direction conversations are trending 😭

10-3, 298 total ypg, 38 total TD’s (2.9pg), 67% comp, 11 INT

?? 🤔 i thought they were beautiful

@ Jets vs Vikings vs Browns @ Lions @ Patriots vs Jets vs Dolphins @ Bears @ Bengals vs Patriots What’s the saying? Don’t ***** where you sleep? Our schedule isn’t exactly a gauntlet to end the year either, and we’ve also benefitted from a very light schedule 3 years in a row heading into this year
