It looks pretty fun when the monkeys do it.

Really? I don't know that the OP was going there at all. I think his point was that this place falls to PIECES when anything less than ideal happens to the Bills. I see it as based on 3 different groups. Group one are really just a bunch of chicken littles, assuming every scratch is going to turn gangrenous and that a backup tackle going down means the season is over. Group two absolutely RELISHES in it when bad things happen to the Bills, like dogs rolling in dead fish, basically masochists. Group three are posters that are more vested in being right about perceived shortcomings of the organization than actually seeing the Bills win. These are the guys that like to call themselves realists, assuming their beliefs as fact. They are almost worse because they usually know a lot about football, but get so hung up in the "CUZ WRECKS SUX" type posts that people tend to just tune them out, when they often offer a lot of valuable content to the board. Like clockwork, when something bad happens, you can see group one screaming to the moon and back. Group 1 starts to panic and begins their 2019 mock drafts. Group 2 will hit the ground running, spreading their misery from thread to thread, only there to sulk and mewl. Group 3 will use it as an excuse to grind their axe, usually about hating on Whaley or Rex or the ghost of Ralph Wilson. And yes, there are a few that think that EVERYTHING that happens to the Bills is good. That's a dangerous way to go through life, but maybe not as toxic as our friends in groups 1-3. But I don't think you'll find one poster on this board that believes everything that comes out of the mouth of ANY spokesperson. I mean, we're mostly adults, and understand that their job is to spin. But ask yourself, do you REALLY want a GM that always tells the truth? It's would be monumentally bad for business. But it's pretty clear that the Bills rolled the dice here and lost, at least in the short term, and who really cares what comes out of Whaley's mouth. It's not what was discussed behind closed doors, and frankly, that stuff isn't usually what the public needs to hear. Lets just hope that the surgery is over quickly and Lawson can get back on the field. But separate from that, yes, some posters try to look at situations in as positive a light as possible, and try to make opportunities out of their difficulties. If that means that I have self esteem issues, lol, I guess I do. Bravo.

Thus your absence to the list....

Yeah, but Billsvet and Scottlaw are NEVER pessimistic!!!! Translation: DOOMED

May not have been much of a football player, but that sumbich was one heck of a college wrestler.

wow, just take a look at the 1987 draft: Conlan Odomes Mueller Seals McKeller Ballard

BUI!?!?!?!? What an animal!

They didn't force him into his hit and run in Buffalo, that's for sure, nor did they cause him to get a DWI in Seattle. I guess you could say that they are to blame for his suggesting his team move to Toronto, but that's debatable.

It's seems like a pretty straightforward question of comparative advantage, no? If you rank your players as follows: Guard: Miller 4 Slauson 8 Tackle Slauson 7 Kujo 3 Mills 2 Then a combination of Miller at guard and Slauson at tackle gives the best value to the Bills.

I think your negativity is a tremendous detriment to this board, and that your post are generally a drain on any thread on which you participate. That being said, this was pretty darn funny.

you clearly weren't drunk enough.

Well played, Ms. Getty, well played. Ok Coach, lets get this over with before it becomes a whole thing. Pretend the Bills make the trade with the Cowboys. Lets assume the Vikes take Shaq, and Treadwell has torn an achilles and can never play football again, and everything else went down the way it went down (even though it's unrealistic). Who are these FOUR PLAYERS you are picking up that are available when we use those picks?

Couldn't agree more

You mean the same John Elway who had no QB on his roster 24 hours ago? At this time yesterday, 55 year old Elway was the most qualified QB in Denver.

What is the probably that TT is on our team in 2016 without Rex?

#crusadingusedtogetyoubanned

Why 2006-2014? Were you cherrypicking so you could include the fact that we didn't have a 2nd in 2006 and gloss over Darby and Miller in 2015?

1 less win?

Koolaid? What board are you reading? Do you have everyone on ignore except the Big Cat and me? I think you'd be hard pressed to find ANYONE who is happy with last year, a LOT of that is on the coach. The players need to own their share too, though. And back to the topic at hand, MW gave the worst return on effort vs effort since Carl Pavano was a Yankee.

I laugh every time I see the title to this thread. In other news, water is wet, story at 5. Btw, I loved the way TT handled those assinine contract questions. Total pro.

We could probably open you a quick and dirty website that counts open spots and links to your paypal account.

Ok, so here is what we know: 1. You have been right about the Bills. before 2. More than once 3. You think Rex sucked in the past and will continue down this line. 4. You think Rex is a clown with a fat brother and both cant coach defense. 5. You think the d will suck (below 12) 6. They wont get 32 sacks. I think that about covers it, agreed? Now that its official, why not stop repeating in one form or another in every post? It sucks to watch good posters stop adding good content to this site. You are a better poster than most, but right now its hard to tell you apart from some of the worst.

It's no way to live your life.

You saw what you saw. You don't know what you're going to see next season. Maybe these guys on D got together in the offseason and decided to learn the freaking playbook. No one is telling you to spew koolaid, just a little less selfrighteous bile.But it's never cool to root for being right over the Bills. And this is just you covering yourself if the team does well against your prediction.

So you'd rather be right then see this defense work?
