A Question To All TSW Posters


Recommended Posts

Can anybody remember this much gloom after a Bills victory? My memory is admittedly cloudy and not what it used to be, but I just can't recall this type of reaction after a win for the Buffalo Bills.

The only explanation that comes to mind is that JP was SO bad, that his dismal performance caused concern for his future as an NFL quarterback, and even the short term future of the franchise in terms of reaching the playoffs.

 

What's up? ;)

How many games will the Bills win if they complete EIGHT passes per game?

 

It's not really anymore complicated than that.

The gloom is there because people realize the Bills cannot bank on getting 4 huge turnovers to none each week. Our offensive stats for the season are so bad i can't remember a Bills team that averaged less than 250 yds per game. That is horrible.

 

I do not want to see Holcomb but it's a lock even his noodly arm would produce more yardage.

They only made 15 attempts so completing 8 isn't horrible.

 

I must say I can't believe the doom and gloom around here, especially after a win, and one that they scored more then 20 points in.

 

It just reinforces my theory that Bills fans will never be happy with what the Bills do

I can. Back in the RJ/DF days. "The Bills won with the wrong guy at QB. Life sucks."

People need to look beyond the stats, and I think that's what the majority are doing. Our QB was inept, and our backup, journeyman RB looked better than anything we have seen from WM all year. That's what is discouraging.

Having been here in those days I can recall the endless qb debates, but not the despair after a Bills win.

Again, maybe it's me.

Nope, not just you. I have never seen the droves of people lining up on the bridge like after this game. Most posters just need ot get a grip.

 

Hell, we got a win. We are 3-5, which is better than 2-6. The Bills won, so maybe this is just me, but i cant be terribly upset.

 

WE GOT A FUGGIN VICTORY.

I think that despite the win, the team looked worse this week than they did against the Patriots. In fact, they seem to get worse every week. By the end of the season, they will probably be playing flag football.

Totally agree. I can't personally remember feeling so bad after a win.

 

Is it too much to ask to win the game AND be entertained? It's very tough to watch a team go three and out all day and get sacked every time they drop back to pass. You might win a game here and there under those circumstances, but you'll never contend for a Super Bowl.

You might be right...but I do remember this level of despair after Flutie stunk it up against Baltimore, for example.

 

Since then...it's been a long, slow slide down into football retardia...

I remember coming to the board before we had user names in 1996, and in 1997 we were pretty bad. But I think you are right, there wasn't this much gloom back then. I think we getting tired of losing. That's all there is too it.

A win is a win, and certainly warrants some satisfaction. On the other hand this was a weak win against a weak team and the offense really did not put on much of a show. The defense played better, but allowed LOTS of completions. Now, if we should defeat INDY..this board will light up like the fourth of July!!!

I think the fans in Buffalo are smart and we know when a team is ready to bust out and head in the right direction. This team just isn't good. The D and special teams are actually competent imo. I realize we could use a big D tackle to stuff the middle and some maturity in the secondary. The O is awful and JP looks woefully overmatched. The penalties are a joke and the O-line is a revolving door of players.

 

As for Flutie, he may not have had 63% completion % but he was a gamer and had several 225+ yd passing days and a few 300 yarders with good TD to INT ratio.

I agree with you 100%. I can pretty much guarantee that if we beat Indy next week everyone on here for the most part is going to be happier then a pig in shite. I know I will.

I think that being discouraged due to the fact the Bills continued to look offensively inept against one of the worst defenses in the league, coming off a bye in good weather is acceptable.

 

QB's vs. GB

 

Grossman- 262 1 Td/ 1 int

Brees - 353 2 Td / 1 int

Kitna- 342 2 TD/1 Int

McNabb 288 2 TD

Bulger 220 2 TD

Harrington 414 2 TD / 3 Int

Leinart 157 1TD / 1 Int

Losman 102 1TD

 

I've can not remember ever having been so frustrated with team that won by 1, much less 14.

"Every time a door closes, a window opens".

 

The 0 for 10 years vs. MIA topped today's angst... ;)

 

Getting knocked off by KC in '66 was not nice, too...although they were out-matched. That KC club was one good team.. :doh:

we've seen enough bad football teams in the past 5 years to recognize one instantly. it was nice of favre (and brad johnson) to come here and play so god-awful with the game on the line, but i don't think anyone was fooled into thinking there is much hope for this crew.
