Thoughts? Thoughts???😳

Yes, it’s just you. Though I agree it was better when he stuck around engaging ‘bums’. Lighten up.

It’s Not gonna go! It can’t.

“The only consistent pluses have been Bass, Knox & Defense -so far..” Oops, spoke too soon again..🤬

OMG! 😲🤦‍♂️

Urban Meyer is on record saying he implemented 2 deep BECAUSE it was effective vs. Allen/Bills. But please, don’t let facts get in your way.

Yep, I read nothing there I didn’t already know. What I don’t know, is what we can do about it the remainder of the season.

I’m a vampire. It’s in my BLOOD!

Ok, I owe everyone an apology. Re-reading last weeks Pregame Thread, it .um.. didn’t age well. I’ve followed the Bills religiously since we stole Jackie Kemp from SD in 1963. Yes, I’ve witnessed back to back League championships. But I’ve seen too much misery since! Johnny Robinson’s 80 yard INT return, Fouts to Smith, Bruce’s Phantom Facemask at Cincy, Wide Right, Redskin scalping, Dallas DoomsDAYS, Music City Debacle, The Rocky Houston Horror Show and the Massacre at little Big Chief. But I’ve never seen what I witnessed last Sunday! The atrocious London Jagoffs beating us on foreign soil? Preposterous. Yes, Balt, Tenn, the LA teams, the ‘Bay’ teams, Dal, KC, LV & NO have also experienced shocking upset losses and we’re barley at the halfway mark of the season. I now have no clue how this season will unfold. Gone seemingly forever is the rare comfort level of the contentment that comes with expecting the Bills to win. Which brings us to the Nyets. They suck. Right? They ALWAYS suck. Right?? From ownership to this seasons’ QB hopeful, they just simply suck. Right??? Yes. But….. We will face a ‘2 Deep’ look from here out until we prove we can beat it. We simply CAN’T run the ball, sans Allen. Injuries are piling up on an already suspect O-Line. The only consistent pluses have been Bass, Knox & Defense -so far.. Coincidentally, all the fleeting, rarified air of being the national media Darlings has disappeared. Are we prepared for another week of national bloodletting? “Pretender Status”? A full week of @Jimmy Spagnola punching our teeth out? I’m not. I’m taking a hiatus. Go BILLS! Mafia in the Apple

Losing 9-6 to a team that hasn’t won in the U.S. in over 2 years isn’t overreacting. We have serious issues.

Speaking just for myself, I’ve never bought in to conspiracy theories. But Something is definitely amiss here. Officiating has always been arbitrary and suspect. But not like this entire year. I get it that holding happens every play -and it’s a perfect alibi/cover for influencing the outcome. But the level of absolute ridiculousness has reached a new apex! Seriously, in little league, there are occasions where a fan/parent is asked to help officiate and the proud parent does their level best to be fair. That’s actually BETTER than what we’re experiencing in the NFL today. When you combine this with ever improving video review capability, the lunacy ramps up another level! I’m good with stepping down on taunting though. I’m so old -How old Are you Chandler?- I remember no one doing this and not even celebrating scoring. Just drop the ball in the endzone and jog to the bench where you get a couple handshakes or ‘attaboys’ from teammates for doing what’s expected of you. This, I’d welcome the return of. But the clown show we’re witnessing each week and Every game is so atrocious, it screams of another force at play. jmo.

I’d advocate to bring him up now. What have we got to lose? We know what we have on the active roster and it ain’t good enough. Also Jamil Douglas -a rookie the brass thinks enough of to protect him many times this season. Weave these guys in on early downs to get their feet wet. Give them the opportunity to be better assessed before the Draft & FA. I know McDermott is typically loathe to play rookies, but SB Windows are notoriously small these days and what we’re putting on the field isn’t getting it done. At this rate, I fear we’re gonna lose Josh to injury.

/thread.

These stats imply otherwise. 🤷‍♂️

Jesus Christ! What a dumb question.

Of course Belichek defends him. Once disgusting, Always disgusting.

No. 🤦‍♂️

Quick! What WAS our identity?

🤦‍♂️

We’re here! Serious Mafia presence!

The best steak place is Ruth’s Chris on the riverfront downtown. Yeah, you’re quite the grumbly old fart this morning 🤣.

Yep! Relatives from WNY are here and attending the festivities at the Hyatt. Where ya sittin’? Glad you can make it to the game!👍

Welcome! -from chilly north Florida! Is there another NFL team more of an afterthought than Jacksonville? They generate virtually zero fandom outside of north Florida, have been irrelevant since their 1st few seasons and are 3rd in pecking order in their own town -to COLLEGE! Their uniforms are notoriously butt-ugly, seems more seats are tarped over than available for sale and player traffic is One Way -OUT of town! Nonetheless, they’re on our schedule and have to be dealt with. They ‘feature’ a 1st Time HC with a nefarious background, a 1st overall Pick at QB -cuz they suck- and maybe 3 players other teams would covet. Seriously, they’re this bad. Zero wins in 21 games in this nation and 1 last second fluke win in a foreign land. It’s nearly impossible to believe we could stumble and lose today. It’s not a ‘trap’ scenario in that on their best day, they can’t compete with our backups. It would take severe forces of the universe to beat us today. Guess what? In this season of Crap Weather Games, there’s an early season NorEastern storm ravaging the area! Boats are being hurled into bridges, it’s raining in droves and the temps rival WNY!! Go figure. It’s forecasted to be better for the game.. On top of this, along with injuries, we’re undergoing a Covid breakout on the team which further depletes the Gameday roster. I hope our ever-tinkering coaching staff doesn’t outthink themselves by resting important players who would have positively impacted the outcome. At least the local fans aren’t likely to impact the game. I was out & about yesterday and The Mafia has taken over the town! A ‘Home game’ 1100 miles away! (I’ve made the trip a few times) I’ll be at the game -1st this season! Excited to see this team play in what is shaping up as a most Memorable Year! Bills Mafia left a lasting impression the last time we played here. It’s STILL being talked about here with wide-eyed Shock! We must win Conference games we’re supposed to win to keep pace with a crowded AFC. Injuries & epidemics aside, This is one of those games. Go BILLS!
