Holy s**t

This is just not the kind of game the Bills have lost during the latter part of the McDermott era. I think Washington will do well just to keep it close.

Nice job. No serious argument in the AFC, but I'd put Tennessee and the Jets ahead of Denver and Pittsburgh. The NFC is a total crapshoot after those top three and bottom three teams (IMO, Chicago belongs in the bottom group). I think the Giants should be higher and Washington lower. The Rams are all of a sudden a pretty interesting team, much to my surprise. Will be fun to watch them against the Bengals on Monday.

the big surprise to me is what dumpster fires the AFCN and AFCW appear to be. KC has absolutely nothing to worry about and I expect the Bengals to emerge on top in the North. I thought Pittsburgh or Cleveland might emerge as a real threat but that is not going to happen. I don't think the Ravens are an elite team, although they are certainly good. The AFCS just looks pathetic.

That was the headline... You're a better man than I...

"Ex-NFL star Sergio Brown"?

Yeah, this is not the kind of game the Bills are going to lose.

When was the last time you saw an NFL QB called for one facemask penalty, much less two in the same game? This guy is unhinged. Also, does anyone else think Watson has packed on a lot of weight? He doesn't seem to move well at all anymore. Maybe they're feeding him meds to quell his deviant urges.

Yep. Cheap contract for a couple more years. Why sell Elam at the bottom of his market?

Didn’t you know that NFL teams love to give away top OL talent? Dime a dozen…

Washington reminds me of some of the drought-era Bills teams who started the season with a couple wins over tomato cans, generated a lot of fan hype, and then got destroyed when they had to play a good team in week three or four.

The sample size for Mac Jones is more than sufficient. He ain’t it. He won’t get a second contract in NE. You can book it.

Russell Wilson obviously has slipped your mind. He’ll be on the bench by the time they play the Bills.

You can make all the excuses you want but the Pats offense blows. Jones has a noodle arm and they have no one who scares defenses. Gonzalez looks like he’s going to be a good player, but they probably would have been better off taking local boy Zay Flowers, who is already a star. That team is not beating Buffalo this year.

The Patriots’ offense is so pathetic, I really don’t see how the Bills could lose to them, absent some freak weather event. I’m pretty sure the Bills aren’t afraid of their rookie CB…I’d put them in the easy category. And if you think the Chargers have a “great O” then I don’t know what to say. That is a dink and dunk attack if I’ve ever seen one.

Same with CJ Stroud. And Justin Fields last year. I don't know what these teams are thinking.

I don’t like Watson either but it’s inarrugable that he was one of the top 3-4 QBs in the league before he melted down. That’s why Cleveland was willing to give up so much for him, despite his perversions…one more thing: the Bills lost that game.

Because at one time, he was. He sucks now, though.

Maybe he was talking about other upcoming games, like NE, Denver, Cincinnati, the Jets, Chargers, etc…I tend to agree, and I also don’t think the Rivera-led Commanders pose a particularly difficult threat, but that’s hardly news.

Thanks...just as I thought

There have been dozens of threads calling for McDermott to be replaced. It wouldn't surprise me if in one of those threads someone suggested hiring Sean Payton, but I certainly don't recall any Hire Payton groundswell on this board. It's a straw man.

I've now given you four opportunities to link to that thread...I'm guessing we're just not going to see it.

I'm confused. At first, you didn't deny your intent to call out Bills fans on TSW who wanted the team to hire Payton--you even told me to use the search function to find all the posts advocating for Payton over McDermott--but now, after I challenged you to produce evidence that people here wanted to fire McDermott for Payton, you say it was never your intent to call out those naysayers that you were so sure existed.😄

You specifically linked Payton to McDermott...go back and read your OP. Do you deny that you were taking a shot at people (assuming that they even exist) who wanted the Bills to hire Payton and get rid of McDermott? As for the search function, I'm not sure how I'd use the search function to prove that something doesn't exist. You're the one who made the assertion that something happened...it's your burden to prove it. See how that works?

Yes, I'm asserting that made crap up in order to dunk on a bunch of strawmen. Prove me wrong.
