dollars 2 donuts

How do we know that you don't? ...had to...had to.

Not every year, though, do we have a team with a winning record and a top 5 ranked defense, let alone top 5 ranked anything. I will say this, it was really difficult stomaching losses to every other team in the AFC that was in our 8-8, 9-7 wheel house...so I get that.

I need a serious explanaion from someone on how a 6-10 team in one ofr the worst divisions in the history of the League, coming off back-to-back double digit losing seasons, is higher ranked than the Bills. I know QBs are important in this League, but damn.

I agree with BF4E

Thread could have been closed after this.

...and technically they will be playing the last team to beat them in 2014.

He was also their head coach briefly during Elway. I think Elway threw him under the bus a little and he got fired after a year when Elway was hurt. I think he went 9-7 then 7-9. Sorry if wrong, going by memory.

and you know, bufboy, that if they can't prove it then, sure as shinola, SOMEBODY BETTER START APOLOGIZING TO THE PATS!!!!

That's how he got the interview in the first place. Sexton represents both guys.

Sorry for a separate topic for this, but I'm telling you I have come to have a great deal of respect for him and he obviously is a future Hall of Famer. However, I can't have that guy's career end without at least sweeping him once in the next one, two or how many ever years he has left. 3-3 over the next three years? Not going to cut it. I am not sure he has been swept, or gone 0-2 against any team during the season in his career. That's the legacy the Bills could give me against Brady, other than being 3-24* against him (don't ask, you know what it is for). Man, just once I need Brady to leave an NFL season, regardless of the Pats' own success, with the thought on his mind of: "The Bills...there was just no beatin'em this year...(sigh)." Rex, Buddy...Please.

Yes, and can EJ please just spend his entire offseason (entire) working on taking chances on passes down field? I get this feeling a lot of times with qbs that they have this comfort level where they like to stay. Can't imagine where I've picked that up the last decade and a half? ...I just want these types of throws to be in our qb's wheelhouse.

Because our two legged, twenty something options are so good?

Global Flair is also currently reporting that there is a 75% chance that the Republicans might take back the Senate in the 2014 elections. ...stay tuned.

OP, you lost me at "First".

A good QB on a team that is 10-22 the last two years that with a reasonable amount of tweaking in a bad division could honestly be 10-6 or better in 2015...yeah, that is the choice of coaches and I think really has been since Smith got fired.

I am sorry I haven't read through this thread, but I believe (and others may have stated it) had he duplicated in the second half what he did in the first, then the rookie of the year would be his. Forgive me if I am wrong, because I don't have the time to check, but I believe that would have been around 80 grabs, 1,100 plus yards, and 10 TDs.

Although, Whaley is from the Steelers system, post Donahoe...but I believe post Cowher as well. Still, I don't think it counts against him.

That...made me laugh. Thanks, plenzmd1! The last game I went to with my dad was in 07...the Giants game. For some reason I told him, "ya never know, pops, this could be your last Bills game." ...I wish I had him back for even just one game...even a loss. He only had to suffer through 8 years of ineptitude.

Nailed. It.

Oh, don't worry, given the way luck works around the NFL they will have one more 11-5 or better season with Manning, then go 2-14 and pick a franchise QB in the 2017 draft. ...The Bills will be 13-19 over that stretch with "Insert Generic QB Name Here" leading the way with 18 TDs, 15 picks with many saying he is "the next big thing" in the NFL AND that we are about to turn the corner. I respect many of you for being up beat, I really do; but after 15 years I'm quite simply getting too old for this F****** S***! I've buried both my parents, one best fried and one friend who was like the little brother I never had during that time. I'll root, but my pessimism stays until they finally win something. ...Go Bills. EDIT: The Blue Jays...please correct me if I am wrong, but the Blue Jays are the only other professional North American sports teams beside the Bills that have gone longer without making the playoffs. ...We are 121st to their 122nd.

Yes, because numbers lie...like 8-7, or 8-8, or 4-8 in the conference that you have to win in to make it to the playoffs. ...and I'm not miserable. The Bills are.

I hate to admit it, but I agree completely. Another couple of defensive injuries this season would have showed you how truly bad the offense was as they wouldn't be able to make up for it at all. I think parts of this season were an apparition and if this team stays put I believe we are back to 6-10 next year. ...sorry, just my opinion.

Come on Pitt.

NE owns the tie breaker against Denver, so even if they lose this week they can win home field advantage next week with a win and a Denver loss.

Are some of you here old enough to remember the days when we didn't need "help" from any team to make the playoffs? When the questions weren't, "are we going to make the playoffs?", or "are we going to win the division?", but rather, "are we going to get home field advantage?"
