Ok, so the difference is “knowing”. Imo, in most cases when teams are trying to fight the funk, they don’t know exactly how to fix it. They work at it. We obviously don’t “know” yet, so the only thing we can do is work hard and try and figure it out. Put the work in in the film room and practice field- develop ideas and out them into action. Throw them against the wall
and see if it sticks. I don’t consider that a loser mentality.
It sounds very similar to what your suggesting. In your eyes,
Regarding the bolded, they should try what? What they did on the first drive vs Cinci? Pass every play?
I bet that they’ll be trying stuff they think will work. Problem is, they just don’t “know” yet. All they can do is work hard and hope they figure it out. “Loser mentality”
“The only thing on my mind is getting that incentive”.
I love Ed. Huge supporter. I didn’t like that answer either. The only thing on his mind is reaching his incentive. Poor choice of words imo
Their thinking and their work have been wrong and nobody here, not me and not you, even needs to go though the litany of "what" and "why" because we actually see it lately week in and week out. We comment about it, repeatedly here. We see it in the plays and see it in the Oline.
We are pushing against the same rock but for some reason you want to keep implying that I am stating don't do work and don't study, which I am not.
What they are working on, what they are studying, what they are implementing isn't working...so really the answer is do more of that, exactly that, just harder and more focused and it will work?!
Does anyone here...do you think that albeit briefly and against suspect teams the Raiders...the mostly s****y Raiders, decided for the last two weeks to doing exactly what McDaniel wanted them to do, but they are just working and studying harder?
One of the firm commitments, though, I will make is that sometimes when going over the film we'll say, "oh man, what was Josh thinking, he had a guy right there," isn't really even Josh as much as it is what do you have Josh thinking about and going through before he gets to that point?
If we are going to ask the question of, "what's wrong with Josh?" in some of these scenarios maybe we should first ask, "what have we changed for Josh or what are we doing differently with him?" and not run to the eternal well spring of "Gosh, they've figured Allen out.", because that is just an excuse to accept the imposition of the other team's will on the Bills.
...or maybe he just needs to either switch back to the old girlfriend or get over her.
Go Bills!

A season is made up of many chapters. Lots of “good teams” suffer through peaks and valleys throughout a campaign. Some suffer through more than others.
If putting in the hard work with hope to find out what works best is a losers mentality, what is a winning mentality? what does this team need to do to not be a loser? Or is it just inevitable?
I believe this is what every team does. In many cases “finding out what works best” is something more specific…..I’m making a generalization. For us- we need to figure out how to become more consistent and score more points offensively. On defense, we have to get healthy and hope von comes around. If Von comes around and Ed, Rousseau and the DBs get healthy we can get back to being a top 10 D. Plus a consistent offense that scores points and a SB is within our grasp. I don’t believe that is so far fetched. But it doesn’t happen without hard work and effort to figure it out.
He’ll probably never start for this team
👍
Knowing when to change.
Knowing how to best utilize the talent you have.
When the League says you should play by a particular book, throw out the book if it isn't working, but don't panic, because the desperate man isn't necessarily better.
The answer? Honestly, I don't know. I have heard some good ones recently, but what difference do any of them make if the Bills themselves don't discover them or aren't willing to undertake them?
I just know we have lost recently to bad teams around this League (1-1 against 2 out of the bottom 3, and a pass interference call away from possibly being 0-2), while other teams thought to be behind the Bills have defeated teams the Bills have no clue how to up-end, or are incapable of defeating.
I watched an impressive initial touchdown drive last week only to see the Bills the next time out feel they have to outthink success.
I guess I would just do success until it fails. If my team was lost in the woods for some reason and then had success, I would do that exact same thing, I mean the exact same thing until the other team proved they could stop it, and hopefully by then it would be too much and too late for the other team to make up the difference.
"But it is not that simple."
Actually it kind of is. They should at least try it.

I don’t think there is a switch. I think that insinuates that we’ve already figured it out, we just have to apply it I don’t think that they have figured it out. There is no switch to flip. Just put in the hard work and hope to find gold. They better find it soon
I am not disagreeing with you at all, but quite simply that's the ballad of the loser.
The simplest clichés hold true...good teams win games. If they are not winning, they are not good.
The "hard work" is easily equitable to Connery's ('The Rock") line of, "Your "best"?! Losers whine about doing their best. Winners go home and **** the prom queen."
They can do a ton of hard work and it may yield the exact same result: 4 whole games, even wins, of meh.
Let's hope something goes off with them or they find their way to the holy grail soon because we need Mr. Momentum to pop in and stay through Christmas.
GO Bills!

Attention
There aren’t any great teams this year Imo. Get hot and win yourself a SB. The offense can be good enough to carry our injury ravaged defense. They just need to figure out how to become that good.
Then if there is a switch, Era, they had better flick it, because the days are getting shorter.

What about the 1921 Buffalo All-Americans, staring player-coach Tommy Hughitt. They was robbed too. This guy can play for my squad any day.
"You can't spell H-U-G-E, without a great big hug, from Hughitt!"
Was the line back in the day.

Not sure how an AFL championship can help alleviate 4 Superbowl losses in a row
Tangential to that, Nuch, are we the only team to every lose 4 deciding championships in a row?
The Dodgers while in Brooklyn are the only team that comes to mind that might have lost three world series in a row, and I am not even sure about that.
EDIT: New York Giants lost the World series in 1911, 1912 and 1913.
EDIT 2: Detroit Tigers lost three straight in 1907, 1908 and 1909.

Followed closely by, “that team over there gets paid to find ways to stop us”
Subsequent to that statement will invariably be, "Hey does anyone have a Toblerone?"
It is two fold, first it gets them off the subject of how badly the team is playing and secondly it confuses people by forcing them to ask themselves whether they even know what a Toblerone is (we've all *heard* of it), whether they've had one before (please) and whether it is a candy or some sort of European beef stick (it might be both).
Next level chess, people.
Go Bills!

Sal agreed with several callers on his WGR show this morning that everything just looks difficult for this offense, there is no “easy” button to push—he also noted that he thinks the bills have gone too far in reining back Josh from what has always made him so special—even if the reason, extending his career, is good.
I need a 2-15 New York Giants team, HUDS.
Then I need ownership (just let me dream, OK) to tell the front office and McD that they love you, Beane and McD, but Daboll is back as OC and the only way to get him back was full autonomy...including the first round pick in the draft and that you guys are just going to have to be OK with that.
Also, since I'm in dream land all my hair grows back.
So lush and wavy.

I was incorrect. You're not spoiled. You're like me. But you gotta admit that the games are way more entertaining and interesting now. And I don't believe hope is gone for a SB this year. They can get hot just like the Bengals....
I agree, and please I meant no disrespect to you and if you took it that way I do apologize.
Here’s the very weird other thing, Joe…I don’t know how frustrated I am in general as much as I have…how do I put this…relegated myself to the fact that in my lifetime I may not get to see what I always wanted to see from this team as my days are getting shorter and shorter. I’m closer to the end than I am to the beginning and I can live with this disappointment due to perspective in life and enjoying so many other things I have in it.
…it’s just having seen this for so long and thinking in recent years “one or two more things and we’re there, or at least we are back” only to realize…maybe we’re not.
Hell, though…it is the journey and not the destination, right?!
Go Bills.

The road to 10-7 is not impossible for the Texans and I think they would leap frog the Bills if both teams were tied at that mark.
Yeah, the North will eat each other up a bit, but you could still have 3 teams going from there, two in the South and then the two other division leaders.
It's going to be tight.

@dollars 2 donuts, as our go-to in all things Madden, is this accurate?? 🧐🤓
😆
HUDS, side note and only a little related, I haven't played in weeks, but no lie...Gabe drives me crazy in the game. Seriously, if there is a DB near him...I mean just forget it, even if he has the position on the DB.

y'all are spoiled. live thru a few 3-13 seasons and many no Playoff hope years. Not the case now....
Don’t tell an old man how to make babies.
I was there…THERE during OJ’s 2000 yard season.
Also anyone who knows anything as a Bills fan knows it’s lightweight arguments to be bringing up 3-13, when many of us have have been in the stands for 2-14 years and 1 win seasons.
The Vikes M.O. lately and in some years past is “really good but not there or can’t get there.”
We are three years removed from just appearing in the AFC Championship, less than a year after only the second home playoff loss in Orchard Park history against a team that we have no answers for, in the dying light of one of the great safety tandems in league history and maybe down to a year with a future hall of famer at WR and let alone an all world QB and we are further away now than we were at the start of this decade with EVERYBODY else in the conference seemingly getting better other than the Pats.
If being spoiled is being around for more than half a century and no Super Bowls, and 30 years since we’ve even been to one, then I’ll wear the crown easily because I want more than what we have right now and are projecting to be as opposed to wearing the title of Seth Settleman…which…well, obviously others have no problem with that moniker.

Games stat line. 0.
He needs to sit. He's a trash second.
Tee higgins. Dominant.
Waddle last week. Dominant.
Gabe. *****.
Start shakir and make sherfield 3.
🤣 You silly folks who rip on Gabe are ridiculous.
You all think that the most important things in a WR are great hands, getting open a lot, many catches in big games, coming back for the ball, fighting and contesting for balls, dependability, and being an actual threat opposite the #1 and not just getting balls because teams don’t care or worry about you when in reality the most important thing is…
…
…boy those are all good things aren’t they?
We need a 1B. Not a glorified 3 (stop it, he is) and lately not even just a 2 anymore it seems.
The number 1 offensive priority on this team should be getting someone who would legit challenge for being The Guy at WR or at least not look awkward when The Real The Guy is standing next to him.

If the Commanders, a team we destroyed, beats the pats in New England I may just punch myself in the Billsys as hard as I can until I lose consciousness.
We need a good ole fashion, dirty, nasty, beat down win tonight.This league is witchcraft.

He is tailor made for us. We needed a true 1 technique, not as good as Daquan, as Jones doesn’t just clog the interior, he penetrates. Joseph will at least clog up the middle for Oliver and Phillips to hunt. Interior pressure is key to McD’ s defense. That and the defensive backs. Well, we just replenished badly needed bodies in these areas. In time with snaps Williams will grow at the Wil and Bernard has shown already his progress since year 1.
Huzzah, my friend.
My goodness so many on this Board have slandered you through the years with stating you are lazy, dangerous, insane, glutenous, bifurcated, obscene, sexually deviant, careless, heartless, ruthless, toothless, mirthless, brash, swarthy, condescending, prickly, cantankerous, boisterous, egotistical, geriatrical, complicated, rude, obnoxious, demeaning, critical, clinical, technical and even mayoral...
...and where are they all now after such a great post above?

I say bravo to you...bravo.

BTW, Beane...ya done good, Sir. You done real, real good the last couple of days.

Forgive me for bringing this up, but what if they take us to the woodshed again? (they did, stop it. they did)
Whenever anyone was worried about the Chiefs those concerns were usually assuaged by the Bills punching them in the nose the next time around, and usually at their house...because that is the only place those two teams are allowed to play per NFL rules (I kid, I kid. if your brother works in the NFL scheduling office don't go crying to him).
Sure, just try and get at them the next time around, but if you are one of the best teams in the conference and then there is a team you just can't seem to upend...whoa, Nelly. 🦟*
(* Honestly, I couldn't think of any reason to use the mosquito emoji and as it was unlikely it would ever get used here, ever, so what the heck I thought it deserved at least one click and show)

Miami is good.
Buffalo is good.
I am hoping, and I believe, Buffalo is better.
