This was as sloppy as it gets and we are still winning 17-6. Fine with me.
In as much as I have some issues with coaching on the Bills (to be covered much, much later in the season), LAC are most certainly much, much worse off in that regard.

Lynn calls a time out to punt?
He should be fired at halftime.
And to think that probably half of the Bills fans I know were upset that we didn't hire Lynn as HC a few years ago!

Big Sack Hughes has a nice right to it. You're right!

Jets aren't much of help right now.
Well, that was to be expected. That team has that "I'm going 0-16" vibe to it.

Premature adulation was my take.

Not shocked. I'm only wondering why it took so long. Heck, I'm not even mocking the Lions for these slow moves; look at how many years of Bills' football were completely fruitless, and for exactly the same reasons.

They didn't have a plan at QB once Brady left. There's no way they saw Stidham in practice all last year and said "that's our franchise QB." And Newton could have been long gone by the time they signed him, which was almost 3-1/2 months after FA started.
Yeah, they got lucky with Brady and those guys you mentioned, plus Cassel, had success initially after getting the chance to start, but faded to backup status fairly quickly. Hopefully they struggle to find a good QB for decades.
Correct, and that's where the hubris point comes in. They didn't get a first rounder for Jimmy G. They traded Brissett for another player (a good one, but not a QB). They literally hitched their wagons to... Cam Newton.
-
My only real surprise in all of this is that NE brought in Newton as its QB. I can't think of a less Belichick'ian player than Newton.
For years, NE had this myth surrounding them that they knew how to develop QBs. It appears that they developed them to trade them, and notable examples are Jimmy G and Brissett. They literally picked Newton over Stidham.
I had been wondering when hubris would swallow NE, and it looks like it has.

I'm not particularly moved that Thomas didn't return. For a TE to be effective, you need (1) a QB who knows what they are doing and (2) a capable player at the TE position. When Thomas was here, neither of those things worked out. I wish the guy the best, but at the same time it's not like he's top flight at the position, and I'm certainly not crying myself to sleep when I think of the fact that he is no longer here.

I heard that a lot at work we have a few CB people there.
All they did was hurt my eyes and give me a headache
My in-laws are from Chicago, and we used to have this "friendly" family pool each season -- so everybody watched basically every game they could get their eyes on. 🙂
To your point, I hope that the reds never return.

My father in law, a huge NFL (Bears!) fan, watched the Bills-Jets "color rush" game a few years ago, as someone who's colorblind, uh, had some complaints.

Whatever will they do in Canton -- now that they have a bust (of Tua) that's been prematurely cast?

Good god, Denver is doing everything it can to throw this game away.
I remember when I felt this way about the Bills.

Smoke and mirrors? I read here that the Dolphins were already at the elite level. Also, Tua is the real deal.
Yes indeed. Sometimes a "high IQ" causes people to write impulsive things to message boards. 😉
-
Unrelated, but I had thought that Lynn would be toast at the end of this season. Maybe Herbert gets him another year or so? Gonna be a tough game in the future for sure.

He's a solid young TE. Is he supposed to fly on overthrown balls?
It's less his actual skill than the way his name passed in front of my eyes.

Wish the Bills had a Noah Fant.
As someone who's in need of eyeglasses, I'm not even going to get into how I parsed your mention of Noah Fant at first glance.

I don't care so much either, and what I'm talking about is not Bills centric.
Nobody should care. Good football is good football, and everything else is narrative. Tua, as an example, has not been great, and does not deserve praise to be delivered to him by the crock.

There is no justification, but yet you see it, just see Willie McGinest and David Carr as just a couple examples. There is a desired narrative, Allen had had to shut them up with stats, but that still doesn't work on people like Bradshaw lol.
As a WNY native, I don't get the fixation on national media, and Bradshaw is long past his shelf date, which means that I even give less of a ***** about that guy. I don't care if they hate on the Bills. At all. This is a good and solid team, and I don't give a stink if they are ignored on the national stage.

Tom Donahoe was regarded by many as an astute football mind. In reality he was the gigantic idiot that gave credibility to the ineptitude known as Greggggggggggggggggggggg Williams. How this guy has a job is mind boggling.
In fairness, we have the benefit of hindsight here. On paper, the Bills made sensible moves early in that regime. Unfortunately, Greg(g x 1000) turned out to be a terrible HC, and Donahoe's moves were mostly of no value or impact. What's incredible to me is that we actually saw the team *degrade* after they left. Holy smoke! Anyway, like I said, hindsight.

Yes, but then you have to ask why the heaps of praise for other certain types of players playing the position. It's an intent thst is transpatent INO. Like sports talk has become to akin to paid news, all opinion and no facts.
I've kind of got to shrug at this. Allen has been really good this year by and large, and that is a fact. Tua could be good (I wish no harm on him, but as a divisional rival, I hope that he sucks), but there is zero reason to prop him up right now. None. Zip. Nada.

The national media machine.
Any rational football fan will say that (1) Allen has exceeded expectations already and (2) he was most certainly the best QB chosen from that draft class.

He's small and not the prototypical constitution, this explains the media's praise. They want for him to be great. This is opposite of what they want for guys like Allen.
The Bills don't want Allen to be great?

So long as he can play is my barometer here. It'll be kind of like that episode of "the Simpsons" where Homer runs the kicker over with his car, the kicker loses a leg, the doctor learns that the kicker majored in communications, puts the leg back on, and the kicker, with his leg flying off, boots through the winning field goal.
And by kind of, I mean kind of. I want to see two-legged Josh, or three if he's nasty. :-)
