very Billsy nightmare

[Dan Darragh]

When Davis nearly botched the onsides kick at the end of the game, my Bills-addled brain couldn't help but play out the nightmare scenario: Browns recover the kick and... do I need to spell it out?

 

I'm wondering if this is a normal condition for long-time Bills fans.

I think it's always important to evoke the worst possible senario in any situation, or you wouldn't be doing your duty of creating a losing culture of fear, shame and regret. 

[BruceVilanch]

if it was any other team than the Browns we probably would have messed it up. The Browns are the only team that can out Bills the Bills.

Formosa to the rescue, knocking the ball OB without getting an illegal batting penalty.

You obviously weren't watching the 8-0 game or the 6-3 game.  Does the name Derrick Anderson ring a bell (before he was a Bill and got HIS bell rung)?

Not for me.

 

If the Browns had recovered I am still expecting a stop there.

Where were you on January 8, 2000?

That's what I'm talking about! We really have to work harder collectively at cementing our loser attitude. It's really important to never allow a glimmer of hope that our team can actually be winners. Because you know, with hope only comes disappoinment. And these brains of ours were wired to associate disappointment with death. Therefore hope equals death... 🤣

Yeah that was a terrible ending but it wasn't fated.   Just a dumb player named Daryl Porter doing what dumb players do.   That's why I am not a fan of Lil' Dummy McKenzie getting big snaps for this team.

Because it has happened before, Bills/Dallas Monday nighter 2007.

This team simply has to figure out how to finish. Yes they were able to finally get the offense back on track in the 2nd half yesterday but it was against a 3 win team who has one of the worst defenses in the league that pretty much every team they've played has exploited.

 

Meanwhile, Jacoby Brissett had one of his best days ever and first 300 yard game for the Browns this year against Frazier and McD's vaunted defense. You still get the sense that this team is going to struggle mightily down the stretch as we hit the meat of the remaining schedule and assuming White does come back and play I don't see that changing much in the near term. Like myself and other predicted, it was criminal act by Beane and this front office to not adequately address DB in the offseason and rely on the likes of Dane Jackson and rookies and once again his incompetence as a GM is being proved here.

Davis IMO is playing his way out of a follow-on contract in Buffalo.  That is my Hot Take

The Browns loss to the Jets in week 2 was an epic choke job. Dare I say even worse than the Bills loss to the Vikings

my buddy and I mentioned they still had 19 seconds nd when ball went up in air we both said oh f*ck thinking Borwns guy was getting it and stinging to end zone

[The Firebaugh Kid]

I literally DO NOT celebrate a win until the FINAL second ticks off the damn clock. I've learned my lesson.

I think it's Lake Erie Syndrome. The Bills, Browns, and Lions seem to find incredibly stupid ways to ***** defeat from the jaws of victory. (Assuming one word gets censored, it's a synonym for "grab.")

You can't advance an onside kick recovery. It would have been Browns ball at the spot he obtained possession.

He has had some drop-itis lately.  Hard to imagine that he does not get re-upped.

He’s playing himself out of a 20M+ per year pay day, but if I’m the Bills, I offer him an extension after the season, lock it down at a reasonable number and then draft a WR early.  
 

His big play ability will always be a huge piece of this offense, but we’re seeing that he’s not WR1 potential. 

[benderbender]

Nope. Every Edmunds supporter needs to treat Davis with the same set of kid gloves. Davis "only does what's asked of him" and his "few mistakes are magnified because of what the coaching staff expects of him" and so on. He too deserves the same max contract next year by transitive property.
