  1. I was presenting you with an analogy/ comparison of why discounting wins is absurd. Do you understand what an analogy is? A win is a win, ya can’t say, well Ya can’t cast shade on a win. Being that the win loss stat is the only one that really matters... it dictates everything. Go Bills!!!
  2. This happens in many sports, if you follow pro cycling, there was a guy named Eddy Merckx, he averaged winning every fourth or fifth race he started for a decade, not counting the bunches of top three finishes, There were a bunch of very talented riders during that time that would have had his accolades had he not been there... just the way it goes in the world of sports when a better team or athlete is present.
  3. So every team that plays a weaker team on their home field and wins, that game skews their record and those games essentially don’t count, hell, half the league every season is made up of weak teams, do none of those games mean anything? Iirc we have the most wins against winning teams as of the start of the by week, why are you so glass half empty? Cheer the hell up dude. Go Bills!!!
  4. Saying that a team should exclude wins is just absurd, do you exclude other teams wins against weaker teams as well? We have one of the toughest schedules in the league this season and your spraying this noise around..., did you wake up angry this morning? Or is this your usual upbeat fandom? Go Bills!!!
  5. We can only play the teams on the schedule, hell if we take out 20% of the completed passes this season it paints a whole different picture...what else do we have to exclude, 20% of passing TDs, and Josh’s running TDs, that would paint a whole different picture as well. makes no sense. Go Bills!!!
  6. I will confess, that I do not remember ever hearing of “Pinkalicious” it is likely because I am old 😁👍
  7. If you’re gonna repeat that, I gonna repeat Bobs recent team killing mental breakdown / Reputation destroying outing as a team manager that negated his previous success in that it was so epic, that and..., numbers don’t happen in a vacuum..,
  8. (SP) Schroudingers cat, well maybe it’s in there...
  9. Or Buffalo, I’m certain that Kim would happily offer such a solution... 😁👍
  10. So are the circumstances that shaped the numbers... the numbers don’t happen in a vacuum,
  11. As a fan of the game, I insist that the league be sold to someone who cares a little bit.
  12. Opportunity is a knockin for Kendall Hinton,
  13. This word “objective” I do not think it means what you think it means....
  14. The league doesn’t care all that much, they already don’t enforce penalties equally and they don’t care about that, also they allowed a certain team to constantly cheat for twenty years, so what do you expect? Its not like there is a law saying they gotta do things in an equitable fashion. Ya just gotta accept what the product really is, or move on. There is no other choice.
  15. Wow, quite the view of the football world from under your bridge, by the way, had you noticed Bobs recent team killing meltdown? Asking for a friend... Go Bills!!!
  16. I’m thinking penalty shots/bong hits for every absurd play outcome, reminds me of years ago when a bunch of us watched Outlaw Jose Wales and did a shot every time someone got killed, we didn’t last through the first half hour.,. 😁
  17. At the current rate the NFL is becoming the pro college league, lots of offense and not nearly enough defense. But what are ya gonna do, College ball is where the players come from, so ya get what ya get.
  18. This is something that should have been done a year ago, I’m 61 years old and the lions have either been bad or really bad during my life, think about it, how does a team have Barry Sanders during that day and age and essentially go no where? Ownership rivals the Jets for their bad decision making. That and a branch of the Belichick coaching tree hits the forest floor, and that is nothing but good. Feel bad for their fans, they have endured many many years of bad.
  19. Its futile, In his world, If the Bills players and front office are not perfect at all times, they have failed with no hope of redemption, it’s kinda funny actually. Go Bills!!!
  20. You spend an inordinate amount of time doing the shoulda woulda coulda thing, Its like banging your head against a wall and wondering why it hurts... later Go Bills!!! They are not as bad as the game threads, which are boarder line pathetic, 😂 although they are sometimes informative, well, to a degree anyway... Go Bills!!!
  21. And it no longer matters in this case, it just is. A missed opportunity by a GM is not permanent, as was shown by the Bills example, it’s a fruitless endeavor to argue this red herring, any perceived mis step has been nullified by other actions.
  22. I understand your thoughts, but it is unlikely that we will pick Stills up, so you me and the rest of us should hope that who we do have works out. Do realize I’m not against bringing in Stills, I just don’t think it’s going to happen.
  23. Every GM misses picks when examined in hind sight, every one of them! for the entire history of the league all GMs have missed opportunities, the argument is pretty darn weak, our receivers Corp is very good and Russ having DK didn’t beat the Bills, its a very silly argument at this point. Go Bills!!!
