    When They're too Bad for Us...

    They're just right for them. Hogan and Branch lead the Pats, while Gronk, a future Hall of Famer who was selected right AFTER we took Torrel Troup, looks on. Ross Cockrell starts for the Steelers. Our personnel moves are astounding.

    After 17 stinking years of this, where would you rather be than not here, not now?
    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

    I got so sick of hearing 7-11 since Hogan never did much here. Apparently he was always open. We just didn't have a QB

      Re: When They're too Bad for Us...

      The saddest thing of all was watching all four QBs this weekend, throwing lasers, all day long.

      A Bills QB makes one or two of those throws and homers proclaim "See! He's got a HUGE ceiling! Tyrod/EJ/Cardale is going to be a star in this league!!!"

      These were real NFL QBs we saw. Pocket passers who can move more than well enough to escape danger in the pocket and pick up first downs. And in the case of Rodgers and Ryan, they move exceptionally well, but their first instinct isn't to tuck it and run.

      These guys make throws all over the field, they improvise, they sense pass rushers who aren't in their lines of sight, they have internal clocks in the pocket, and they throw accurate passes in small windows.

      They play chess, while Whaley's idiots play checkers.

        There are dozens of receivers that could have done what Hogan did yesterday. He's not special.

          I think we need to not panic here as Brady would make my 50 year old ass look like a pro bowler.

          As for the QB position, until we get something better than Tyrod we need to not go backwards by saying he's not good enough and bring in someone worse.

            You go ahead and not panic. I've hit the red button. Try and stop me.

            This is in the "how to be a Bills fan" manual right?

              Branch was good for 2 seasons, signed an extension, and completely mailed it in. Came in out of shape, was unfit to play, we shouldn't reward these players by keeping them around. What we should take note of is how often this happens. This season we had Karlos Williams and Dareus, no one holds these guys accountable. Our org is weak as ****. If Branch pulled the same **** with the Pats they'd cut him just like we did, problem is that happens more to the Bills than it does to the Pats.

                    I liked Hogan, we could have kept him cheap.

                      Why are people obsessing over Hogan? HIs numbers this year were similar to his numbers last year with us so how is he worth a 3 year $15 mil contract?

                        Cockrell is not that good.

                            Beautiful play on the words of Marv...thanks for the laugh and very witty post. Couldn't be more truthful!
                            Where else would you rather be than right here right now?

                              LOL...one play I remember from yesterday was an Atlanta run inside the Red Zone, that got the ball down close to the goal line. One of the announcers was pimping Levitre for getting around the center and picking up a 'key block' at the second level. Unfortunately for both when they showed the replay it certainly showed Andy pulling into the hole, but he completely whiffed on the guy he was supposed to block. The very next play he jumped early and moved the team back five yards.

                              Good for Andy, I hope he gets a ring. Hell, I might have considered re-signing him also if he was going to take a cut in salary like he got from Atlanta.
