  1. If Bills fans were weak, there wouldn't be any. We choose to spend our weeks and Sundays pulling for the Little Engine that Could. IMO, it takes much intestinal fortitude to keep coming back for more. Some of our most diehard have been doing this since the AFL days. If anything, it's the conditioning of decades of losing. I know the players weren't here for the Music City Miracle and the drought that ensued, but a lot of us were... and we've seen the Bills are best are breaking the hearts of their fans. It's going to take some reverse conditioning before it gets a lot better. If two decades of winning can make unbearable jerks of Pats fans, this is the other end of the spectrum. For the record, I do NOT think this is the same old BIlls.
  2. It's only taken Shaq Lawson three of four years to start making some plays. Where's your patience, man? I'm kidding a bit but like you, I do wish Oliver would get his name called more often (and no, not for Offside or roughing the passer). Clowney took a bit to get started (year two I'd say). Hopefully he will start paying more dividends sooner than later.
  3. Teddy Bruschi? I don't think he can help us and I wouldn't want it anyway. I understand that Allen made the mistake that got this thing rolling for the Eagles but the Bills lost as a team today. Top to bottom, plenty of blame to spread around. Let's see how they respond next week before writing off another season. JA is learning on the job and it can be most frustrating to watch sometimes. I'm sorry I can't remember who posted it earlier, but right now, I do agree that he's holding his own against his draft class (Mayfield, Darnold, Rosen, and Jackson). He was also considered the least pro-ready but is still already on the field. I think we may have a made a leap with Edmunds too, forcing him into a roll that he may never be truly fit for (he's definitely not Luke Keuchly). Time will tell.
  4. He outsmarted everyone, even himself!
  5. This team (and I really should say we, the fanbase) shouldn't be overlooking ANY opponent. What makes you think they'll walk the dog against the Redskins? They play to the level of the opponent, without fail. This was a good game but a few bad decisions and bad execution are going to be the undoing. The Eagles aren't the powerhouse they were but they're closer to fundamentally sound and they have a better overall roster and coaching. Tip of the hat to them... they were backed into a corner after last week's loss to Dallas and they came out and played a better game.
  6. I think Frazier is serviceable as a DC... but IMO, he lacks the killer instinct. He should have done more in Minnesota with the talent he had.
  7. TIme for a defensive takeaway... a score would be nice!
  8. To the surprise of no Bills fan.
  9. We really must be desperate for Tight End help... he hurts the team EVERY week.
  10. But he has the 4th quarter magic! It's the sweet and the sour. I think Josh is going to be alright. We were told he'd be a project and he's already starting and learning on the job. It's frustrating at times but we've all been beneficiaries of those great plays he makes, too.
  11. 39 yard line or not they could have taken a knee with only 18 seconds on the clock... I can't say I've never seen such conservative behavior from them before.
  12. I was impressed that Coach let the offense try for points there. Too bad about the missed FG but to be expected in those conditions, I guess.
  13. Ugh... a gift wrapped seven that they shouldn't have gotten.
  14. Eagles get the second half kickoff (Bills won toss but elected to receive), we should have wind at backs in 4th.
  15. Stats pretty even so far... teams are matching up well.
  16. Gamecenter is killing me... just showed Wentz complete a 50+ yard pass to Jeffrey, saw no one raising hell here, go back, refresh, they're at mid-field again. What's up with that??
  17. But she's passionate! She kinda favors Tom Coughlin... sister?
  18. Sounds like shades of Rodgers... can't see the game so I'm counting on your the board to fill in the gaps. Good drive and finish!
  19. I'd give Lee Smith a hard time if he hadn't made our first catch. He seems to get flagged a lot for a vet.
  20. I see it everywhere, all the time. Doesn't matter who I'm watching. I feel a hold can be called on every play... just wonder why they pick the ones they do and I don't think "flagrant" has as much to do with it as NFL folks say.
  21. I miss our team being able to run screen passes. We don't seem to do so good with it.
  22. Good stop... so was their punter kicking INTO the wind? Looks like he boomed it on GameCenter.
