11/19/23 Week #11 GAMEDAY Bills vs Jets Pregame Thread

[North Buffalo]

Honestly for the first time in a while gonna miss this one... going golfing...  besides meaningless game as neither team is going anywhere except higher in the draft... Bills need to work on some things on O and D needs to heal... good luck but as much as I suck at golf this game is more painful.

OL and Run D decide this one 

Josh decides this one.  Good Josh or Bad Josh.  It's been Bad Josh for awhile.  Lets go Josh!  Lets go Bills!

At this point, I think I suffer from battered fan syndrome.  Bills lose in excruciating fashion, leave me for dead.  Then emotionally you rebuild the *****, maybe things will change and they won't hurt you, especially before a holiday, but then they knock you down all over again and all that pain and frustration returns.  I'll watch, but with a helmet and flak jacket on. 🙂

there is mental pain, physical pain and then there is buffalo bills dagger in the heart pain.  50 years and I have taken the dagger many times through the decades just like many bills fans have. not much heart left, a loss today could be the final dagger for the bills season as well as not taking anymore as a fan until changes are made. if it's a dog fight and they still lose, I can take a fight until the final gun sounds. I can not see a lost, sitting by himself JA. need to see a compassionate amped up lets get this done JA.

 

I will lose more confidence then I already have in McDs leadership if they look unprepared and more bad calls/decisions are made. the ship needs to be righted, today... period.

We have a mostly healthy Josh Allen, and Diggs, Kincaid, Cook, Shakir, Gabe,  etc..

They have Zach Wilson, an injured Garrett Wilson and a good RB . There’s no reason Buffalo should not roll against a team that really struggles to score.  Stop turning it over and don’t give up big chunk runs today and it’s likely a nice win.

Why'd they have to do Josh like this??

 

 

I hope he has a flex game today

Golfing?  You need to put the work in if you want this team to win bro.  You think your Hollywood or something?  

 

Enjoy your game.  I never got into playing golf but for some strange reason I like watching it on TV.  It just seems chill or something.

My favorite definition of golf is "a good walk, spoiled"
The game itself can be very aggravating and raise blood pressure

Watching golf, unlike a Bills game, probably lowers blood pressure.

Far from meaningless, two of the teams Buffalo is chasing just lost their starting QBs for the year. The Bills can still make something out of this season.

For sure not.  Gotta spend the time with the son.  I miss son time.  The boy was growing his career as an engineer and then decided to go back for his phd plus he is a TA.  I spend time with him whenever he has it.  Wouldn't miss it for anything.

We're at the point in the story where the hero doubts himself and walks the dark rainy streets alone, brooding. Then something happens--the girl finally kisses him, he's allowed to be himself, the old mentor or rival talks to him, whatever. And--bam--the Bills fight their way all the way to the Super Bowl where, after some initial drama, they triumph by coming full circle to what made them great in the first place.

 

It's the hero's journey. Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung, WB Yeats, Spiritus Mundi. Hoosiers, Remember the Titans, Rocky I. 

 

We're in the middle of a fricking Disney movie!

Back to that familiar drought feeling of being checked out in mid-November.

 

Had a great bday party for the kid yesterday. If we're done with clean up by game time, maybe I'll turn it on. Or maybe just check the score tomorrow to see what these jabronis did.

In this tale do the Bills become the first team to ditch its coaching staff and go to a "players only" model?

[Scott7975]

I dunno about you all but Im praying we get sugah high Josh today.  Never liked that term and always said that you don't get special Josh without it.  The same sugar high Josh that makes that head scratching play is the same sugar high Josh that makes that holy crap throw that hardly anyone else can make, if anyone.  We need that today.  We need that fire, passion, and drive to win.  Less think, more instinct.

I think we might have a couple waterboys or janitors left they can still promote.

Enough of this despair and backbiting and negativity! No less a Bills fan than William Shakepeare, when he ran into a so-called fan at the Big Tree Inn who said the Bills playoff window was closed, waved a chicken wing in his face and called him "O gull, O dolt, as ignorant as dirt!"

 

When Robert Saleh said that the Jets defense was going to "embarass" Josh Allen in today's game, Shakespeare called him "a poisonous bunch-backed toad,"  a "foot-licker," and "an elvish-marked, abortive, rooting hog."

 

About Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, Shakespeare said he has "not so much brain as ear-wax."

 

Shakespeare said that against the Bills defense the Jets offense was "roast meat for worms."

 

Finally, when considering Zack Wilson as a quarterback, he said, "The soul of this man is in his clothes."

 

Trust me, you don't mess with the Bard of Avon.

Saleh said that?  Thats classless trash.  The "we're checking receipts" comments last year I felt were just cocky confidence and no big deal but if he said that crap then he is just a classless bum.

I'm joking, but he said he'd embarrassed Allen earlier this season. Then he tried to walk it back.

McDermott may end up being the Wicked Witch of the story. "After an initially successful tenure, McDermott was fired after the Bills fell to 5-12 in 2023. The following year, under the energetic leadership of Eric Bieniemy, the team roared back to its first AFC Championship game since 2022, dominating the Jacksonville Jaguars and going on to shock the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIV. Players credited the fun, upbeat atmosphere created by the new coach. 'It's been a breath of fresh air,' Super Bowl MVP Dalton Kincaid said. 'My first year, the team felt stifled, oppressed, as if a damp blanket was holding the team down. Coach Bieniemy helped us remember who we were.'

 

Several attempts to reach Coach McDermott for comment were unsuccessful."
