The past two weeks, I’ve noticed a lot of these patterns. How about you? ”We should have never gotten rid of....” There’s a bit of revisionist history with a lot of Bills fans. Anytime an ex-player has a good (or even marginally good moment), some fans will pine for a former player, without considering any context and in some cases...logic. Last year there were people who were legitimately lamenting the loss of Nick O’Leary, Seantrell Henderson, and Tyrod Taylor. Last week everyone was upset that the Bills moved on from Shady because he ran for 81 yards. This week he was back to his usual 2 yards a carry. Ditto for Sammy. I’m sure if Logan Thomas makes a catch, someone will be like “We never should have gotten rid of Logan Thomas!” ”We should trade for __________” Anytime there is a big name player looking for a trade. Fans immediately want the Bills to make a move - no matter how illogical the trade might be. There were a lot of people who would have been happy to see the Bills trade high draft picks for Jadaveon Clowney who is a 1 year rental. How many people want a trade for Melvin Gordon, again a 1 year rental, who is going to want a phat contract. Not gonna happen. Yet I see a lot of comments for people who want and legitimately think the Bills should trade for Gordon. “You’re not a true fan if you criticize the Bills.” I belong to a Bills Facebook group where many members scolded other for posting previous comments about how bad the Bills were playing. LOL. To some Bills fans any criticism is off base. I don’t agree with that I will never understand the abnormal obsession with Watkins; never lived up to first round status, never! 1

In fairness C.Biscuit has come A LONG WAY. He went from the most aggressive apologist in the history of TSW.........he would MF you up and down for being critical of Jauron.........to having a very jaundiced eye for Billsy trends. But you gotta' take things on a case to case basis...........just because it rings Billsy doesn't mean it's going to turn out that way. 2 2
LabattBlue Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) - Look what <insert national media name> said about the Bills!!! - The refs are screwing us again!(this happens more after a loss). - Ralph was a great owner(revisionist history). - Any post referencing “process”. - Brady is a system QB. He’s just not that good. Edited September 16, 2019 by LabattBlue 1
BillsVet Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 The praise for and defense of Russ Brandon here bordered on the delusional. People talked about how he was able to achieve so much without results, which completely ignored the NFL's meteoric rise in popularity in the late 90s/early 200s.

Max Fischer Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 "The Bengals should be an easy win . . . and if we beat the Pats we can be undefeated going into Thanksgiving . . ." Never, ever "count" wins until the final whistle. Moreover, there seems to be a correlation to those who express extreme optimism going off the deep end when something bad happens. 1
dave mcbride Posted September 16, 2019 Posted September 16, 2019 Using the line "it's hard to win in the NFL" in jest. It really is hard - there is a ton of parity compared to other leagues (Patriots excluded). 1
