Yes, it was a loss.

Josh Allen is handing away loses like Halloween candy. All three loses are squarely on him. He had clear chances to win each of those games, and ****ed it up one way or the other.

Yes, this loss hurt the Bills in the standings.

But, to throw in the towel with eight games left, four division games, three at home is beyond negative, it’s lunatic LOSER talk.

Starting a thread, Now, can we PLEASE stop all the Super Bowl talk (http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/showthread.php/261649-Now-can-we-PLEASE-stop-all-the-Super-Bowl-talk-!)? is totally ridiculous. What kind of fans give up when the going gets tough???

****ty ones.

2021 - LA Rams lose to Tennessee in week #9, dropping to 7-2 for the season. They lose their next TWO GAMES (three in a row), to drop to 7-4. Finish the regular season at 12-5, win the SB as the #4 seed.

2020 - Tampa Bay lose to New Orleans in week #9, dropping to 6-3 record. They LOSE TWO of the next THREE to drop to 7-5. Finish the regular season at 11-5, win the SB as a #5 seed wild card.

2019 - Kansas City after losing four of six games, drop to 6-4 record. They win out, finish the regular season with a 12-4 record, and go on to win the Super Bowl as #2 seed.

2018 - New England loses to Tennessee in week #10, dropping to 7-3 record. They lose two of their next four games falling to 9-5 record. Finish the regular season at 11-5, go on the win the Super Bowl as #2 seed.


Does this factual history mean the Bills will be the fifth team in a row to overcome similarly disappointing records at this point in the regular season to go on to win the Super Bowl???

Of course not. It simply shows that in the NFL it’s never over until it’s REALLY over.


To BURY them and GIVE UP right now with their record at 6-3, is pretty damn silly and LOSER TALK!!!

It's emotional. We had such high hopes for this team. You are right that they could get healthy on defense, Josh could get his head of his ass and they could be fine. The problem is this team had the making of something special. The talent is special but the mental makeup is missing something. I'm not sure that can be corrected.

Outside of Allen and Diggs, the talent on O has never even been close to special.

This place is sometimes pretty toxic after a WIN, it’s almost intolerable after a loss.

The posters calling for McDermott’s and Frazier’s heads are far beyond “emotional”. They are ignorant lunatics.

I suspect that the past four years people were saying the same thing...."The talent is special but the mental makeup is missing something. I'm not sure that can be corrected.” around this time of the season for each and every team that went on the win the SB.

I’ll give up when they lose the last game of the season. Those that give up after 9 games are LOSERS!!!

We're down Hyde, Poyer, White, Elam, and Rousseau on defense. Edmunds didn't finish the game as far as I seen, so add him to the list. This wasn't the plan, but it's our reality. Luckily only Hyde will be gone the rest of this season.

I'm more concerned with Josh playing like his 2019 version. The guy was known to never turn it over in the redzone, and now it's common place. Our coaching couldn't figure out that we needed to double Jefferson every single 3rd down/big down. It was sickening watching him destroy our team. Especially with those powder puff passes kirk was laying up. These picks Josh is throwing are 'wtf are you looking at' interceptions. Hopefully this is the lowest point of our season.

Most teams, when they have good record, have marginal fans jumping on the bandwagon.

Buffalo has the opposite effect. When they suffer a bad loss, so many “fans”, that we hardly see posting here very much (I can names if you wish), rush in to form the Crap Cart. So toxic.....so emotional....zero perspective or objectivity.

Too much whining piss and vinegar. Boring and insufferable.

Objective observers, who’s profession is to follow and get paid for offering their unbiased opinions do not offer up the same vitriol nonsense.

This is what several are saying....

From The Athletic (owned by NY Times), with three of their writers (none Joe. B. who is also a very objective, intelligent, knowledgable unbiased NFL observer) Jeff Howe (https://theathletic.com/author/jeff-howe/), Kalyn Kahler (https://theathletic.com/author/kalyn-kahler/) & Ted Nguyen (https://theathletic.com/author/ted-nguyen/) with their weekly “takeaways”.

NFL Week 10 takeaways: Vikings now a Super Bowl contender? Panic time for Bills? (https://theathletic.com/3877931/2022/11/13/nfl-week-10-results-takeaways/)




The Bills lost at home in overtime in stunning fashion to the Vikings. Is it panic time in Buffalo after two straight defeats? And time to take Minnesota seriously as a Super Bowl contender?


Howe: No reason to panic in Buffalo. As long as they’re healthy — Josh Allen (https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/josh-allen-9zLTUSPpy6pFa4xs/), in particular — the Bills are capable of beating anyone in the playoffs. As for the Vikings, they were taking advantage of a softer schedule, so this was a big-time signature moment for Kevin O’Connell and his team. They now belong in the conversation with the Eagles (https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/eagles/), Cowboys (https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/cowboys/) and 49ers (https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/niners/) as the best teams in the NFC. Each is good, and each has flaws and something to prove in the playoffs. That conference is still wide-open, so the Vikings should absolutely feel like they have a shot.

Kahler: The Bills will be just fine. I do think it’s time to take the Vikings seriously, as this was their moment to prove they belong in the Super Bowl conversation and they did it, with the help of a lucky fumble. Justin Jefferson (https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/justin-jefferson-NQbXl7TPxoDnzj6i/)’s one-handed, 32-yard catch on fourth-and-18 was one of the wildest, most impressive receptions I’ve ever seen. And that drive ended on one of the worst QB sneaks I have ever seen. Kirk Cousins (https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/kirk-cousins-iPIYwkTzxrquSQo2/) barely moved. But that fourth-quarter drive is a good way to sum up the Vikings’ up-and-down play. As the season goes on, we’re seeing that it’s more up than down, and at 8-1, this team is a serious threat.

Nguyen: This was a really odd game. The Vikings were down 24-10 and came back, yet the Bills still had the ball up four with 49 seconds left in regulation. Allen fumbled the ball at the goal line, which was recovered for a Vikings touchdown. Then a Bills field goal sent it to overtime.
This game was an accurate representation of the Vikings’ season. It wasn’t a clean performance you feel great about or expect to be sustainable, but in the end, they won like they have all season. But yes, the Vikings are capable of beating anyone. They just beat one of the best teams in the league on the road. But I’m still not sure they are in the same class as the Eagles and Cowboys, despite their record.

The Bills shouldn’t be panicking. Allen isn’t typically as careless with the ball as he was in this game. And in the playoffs, they’ll pull out a deadly trump card: using him in the designed run game.


Josh Allen fumbles the snap at his own goal line. Snaps that he has done hundred of times without incident. **** happens. To even THINK this loss shows all the negative baloney being bantered around is just plain dumb. Overreaction on overdrive!!!!


More....from CBS Sports Jeff Kerr...his weekly “overreactions and realty checks....

NFL Week 10 overreactions and reality checks: Can Kirk Cousins reach the Super Bowl? Is Josh Allen regressing?

Let's determine which Week 10 takeaways are overreactions and which are reality (https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-10-overreactions-and-reality-checks-can-kirk-cousins-reach-the-super-bowl-is-josh-allen-regressing/)


(https://www.cbssports.com/writers/jeff-kerr/)


Kirk Cousins (https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/1272574/kirk-cousins/) can lead the Vikings (https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/MIN/minnesota-vikings/) to a Super Bowl

Overreaction or reality: Overreaction

The Vikings are a Super Bowl (https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/superbowl/) contender and one of the best teams in the league, yet it's fair to question if Cousins can get them to Glendale, Arizona for Super Bowl LVII. Cousins finished 30 of 50 for 357 yards with one touchdown and two interception in the crucial win over the Bills (https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/BUF/buffalo-bills/), but failed to win the game on his own merit.
Cousins was bailed out of a failed fourth-and-goal quarterback sneak where he didn't get in, thanks to a Bills fumble at their own 1-yard line on the very next play. The fumble led to a touchdown and gave Minnesota the lead. After the Vikings got the ball first in overtime, Cousins had an opportunity to win the game with a first-and-goal at the Bills' 2-yard line with a touchdown. Instead, he was sacked for a 10-yard loss and threw an incomplete pass -- leading to a field goal and giving Buffalo an opportunity to win the game.


Josh Allen (https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/2181054/josh-allen/) has regressed this season

Overreaction or reality: Overreaction

Allen isn't in his best stretch of football right now. In his last three games, Allen has seven giveaways with six interceptions -- three in the red zone. In his first six games, Allen had just four interceptions and six giveaways.
Allen has completed 58.8% of his passes for 753 yards with three touchdowns to six interceptions over his last three games (67.2 rating). The Bills are 1-2 in those starts, relying on Allen's play to bail them out of trouble.

Leading the league with 10 interceptions and having 13 giveaways, Allen isn't his typical MVP self. While this is a bad stretch of football, the Bills quarterback hasn't regressed. It's too short of a stretch to make that declaration.




Yep. Level headed experts and professionals provide level headed professional observations.

Losers engage in LOSER TALK.


Just like the announcers said early in today’s game....(paraphrasing)....

'In Buffalo there are fans that think the sky is the limit. And there are those fans that think the sky is falling’

Outside of Allen and Diggs, the talent on O has never even been close to special.

Allen has always made them look better than they are.

I don't think that's 100 percent true. A big factor in the early games was the other guys making really good-to-incredible catches. That makes Allen look better. The last 2-3 games the other guys weren't doing that and catches became drops. They got that back a little bit today, but Davis, Knox, and even Diggs had big drops today that could have made a difference.

The other guys on O can't do anything when Josh is throwing int's as if the defender is a receiver on his team, or botching a simple snap in a critical part of the field and game.

Oh please. You have no idea what the play calling is. And you have no idea what the experts are “looking at”. If they recognize bad play calling, they say so....as they have many, many, any times when appropriate.

There is no problem with the defensive play calling when Justin Jefferson does one of the most absurd catches on 4th down and 18, literally taking an INT out of Lewis’ hands. The exceptional effort by one of the best WR in the NFL was the difference.

There is no problem with calling a QB sneak on your own goal line for the win. Fumbling the snap is the difference.

There is no problem calling a pass into the end zone for the win in OT. Throwing an INT is the difference.


Yes, another panel of experts that provide intelligent, knowledgeable, objective, unbiased expert observations.....you should listen to people that know what they are talking about.

I’m not going to fault McDermott for the INT that Josh threw on the 4th and 2 play. That INT was UGLY. Same with the one in OT.

If Josh makes the pass, McD is brilliant and went for the crushing score.

“Now, can we PLEASE stop all the Super Bowl talk?!”

“Sean McDermott is a failure”

"Dolphins are winning the division.”

"this team is overrated.”

When you have established a pattern of losing games you should win due to the same (or very similar) qualities consistently over multiple seasons it isn't 'loser talk' it's acknowledging what the team is, what they have developed into.

And the reason the team is what they are right now is leadership burying the 'loser talk', not acknowledging what they are failing at and correcting it, despite all of the 'it sucks to lose, we'll learn from it and be better moving forward' rhetoric we hear every time they get beat.

We all know the offense can be unstoppable.
We all know the defense can be dominant.
We all know the roster is mostly stacked with pretty good talent.
We all also know despite the above one of the things that the team has been consistent at is under-achieving and losing games they should or could have won.

It's a pattern, and it isn't 'loser talk' to expect the same thing to happen again this year in the playoffs because they have already proven the same thing is happening in the regular season, yet again.

Last year, they bought into their own hype too much and lost the opener to Pittsburgh, as well as the loss to Jax, and there were a handful of other games as well.

I think most people were confident that they wouldn't make the same mistake this year, but it looks like they are. They went into the bye 5-1, with blowout wins over the Titans, Steelers and Rams and hard-fought wins over really good teams in the Chiefs and Ravens. The lone blemish was the scorcher in Miami, and it was easy to chalk that one up to the heat. Everyone was talking them up, and rightfully so. They beat the SB champs and 3 of the top teams in the AFC, including the 2 that have been roadblocks the past couple of seasons. But, since the bye, the team has largely looked like crap. They had a good half against GB and a good half against Minny, but they looked like otherwise. In the 12 quarters plus OT since the bye, they've only played at that pre-bye level in 4 of them.

Obviously I'm not on the team. I'm not in the locker room or on the practice field. But looking in from the outside, it feels like they came out of the bye feeling entitled to win. There's something very different about how they were playing before the bye and how they are playing now. The next two games are against weak opponents in the Browns and Lions. Then, it's 3 straight div games against the Pats, Jets and Fish. The Bills need a 5 game win streak to salvage this. And given how they're playing and that they've already lost to the Fins and Jets, it's hard to see that happening.

Last year, they bought into their own hype too much and lost the opener to Pittsburgh, as well as the loss to Jax, and there were a handful of other games as well.

I think most people were confident that they wouldn't make the same mistake this year, but it looks like they are. They went into the bye 5-1, with blowout wins over the Titans, Steelers and Rams and hard-fought wins over really good teams in the Chiefs and Ravens. The lone blemish was the scorcher in Miami, and it was easy to chalk that one up to the heat. Everyone was talking them up, and rightfully so. They beat the SB champs and 3 of the top teams in the AFC, including the 2 that have been roadblocks the past couple of seasons. But, since the bye, the team has largely looked like crap. They had a good half against GB and a good half against Minny, but they looked like otherwise. In the 12 quarters plus OT since the bye, they've only played at that pre-bye level in 4 of them.

Obviously I'm not on the team. I'm not in the locker room or on the practice field. But looking in from the outside, it feels like they came out of the bye feeling entitled to win. There's something very different about how they were playing before the bye and how they are playing now. The next two games are against weak opponents in the Browns and Lions. Then, it's 3 straight div games against the Pats, Jets and Fish. The Bills need a 5 game win streak to salvage this. And given how they're playing and that they've already lost to the Fins and Jets, it's hard to see that happening.

Sorry, I don’t buy your usual ‘the Sky is falling’ cynicism.

Most NFL games between good teams have an infinitesimal tiny margin of error. The Bills had the game won (so much so that it was reported that the members of the Minny management started making their way down to the locker room after they failed to get the TD with the Cousins sneak) and the almost impossible happens.

Josh Allen fumbles the snap. That is an amazing historic anomaly.

He does NOT fumble that snap and the Bills win, the whole narrative is 180 degrees different.

Bill Barnwell, of ESPN wrote a very detailed and long analysis of this game. (https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35021856/was-vikings-bills-best-game-nfl-season-explaining-ending-justin-jefferson-catch-josh-allen-struggles-kirk-cousins-rise) And YES, I value the objective and unbiased, non-emotional, professional NFL analyst observations and opinions exponentially more than any sour puss member of the ‘the SKY is falling Brigade’.


What he wrote directly refutes so much of the sour grapes. And yes, he has plenty of credible, spot-on criticisms of the Bills effort and in particular Josh Allen’s rotten, terrible, boneheaded performance. Too much to quote here.

He had this to say about if that almost impossible fumble for a TD did not haven and the Bills won the game...



This was so close to a catastrophic Vikings loss. If the Bills successfully completed that handoff and kneeled out the clock, we're talking about something close to the same old Vikings. After that Jefferson catch, they didn't score on a first-and-goal sequence from the 3-yard line, in part because embattled right guard Ed Ingram (https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4242227/ed-ingram) stepped on Cousins' foot for the second time in the game.

Jefferson came within a foot of scoring, only to be stopped short. Cook was nearly the goat for dropping a walk-in touchdown, but after a Bills offside penalty, Cousins was then at fault for coming up short on a quarterback sneak. And, as usual, a kicker figured into the blame, as Greg Joseph (https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/3975763/greg-joseph)'s missed extra point had meant that the Vikings needed to go for a touchdown on the final drive as opposed to being able to fall back on a field goal.



Goats to heros in a flash.


As usual, your Negative Nancy baloney is insufferable. When you write "The Bills need a 5 game win streak to salvage this. And given how they're playing and that they've already lost to the Fins and Jets, it's hard to see that happening.” and shows a total lack of history and reality.

As I pointed out earlier, the history is the last four Super Bowl winners went through rough patches and in many ways much worse loses and performances than the Bills are now suffering.

Mr. Barnwell had this to say about “if it’s time to be concerned about Buffalo?’ and addresses your beating the dead horse (and false) premise that the Bills “can’t win close games”...




After facing the Chiefs, Packers, Jets and Vikings over the past four games, the schedule is about to get easier. Sean McDermott's team gets a pair of 3-6 opponents over the next two weeks in the Browns and Lions. The latter game is on Thanksgiving, which affords the Bills a much-needed mini-bye. The Patriots follow, but they then get a critical homestand for those rematches against the Dolphins and Jets.


Objectively, the Bills are still very good. Their three losses have come by a combined eight points. They've now lost three of five close games this season after going 0-5 in those games a year ago, but this same core was 5-1 in games decided by seven points or fewer the previous season, so I don't think it learned how to win these close ones in 2020 and forgot over the ensuing two seasons.




NONE of us are most definitely and are NOT on the team. Here is what Von Miller says who IS on the team, the winner of TWO Super Bowls, with the latest ring coming from a team that had much worse losses during last regular season. They were left for dead after a terrible outing by Stafford in handing the game to Tennessee in week 9, losing 28-16.

Then getting BLOWN OUT in San Fran by 31-10. Third BIG loss in a row in week 12 at the hands of Green Bay 36-28.


Yeah....three game losing streak by a total of 41 point difference. Only one game, marginally within one score....the 8 point loss to GB.

The Bills have lost three games by a TOTAL of eight points. None of them even CLOSE to a blowout”.

In any event, here is what Von Miller has to say about the Bills situation.... (https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/observations-24-hour-rule-wont-be-long-enough-for-bills-to-forget-horrendous-collapse-to/article_3fbc1720-6398-11ed-ab23-f76e26674e3b.html)



All that talk about the Bills chasing the No. 1 seed in the AFC feels misguided right now. At this point, they are in a fight for their playoff lives. The team is now 6-3 and sits in sixth place in the AFC. The Bills are third in the AFC East, behind both the Dolphins and Jets.


“I pray and I hope that guys think that they’ve got us figured out, because that's a bad place to be in,” Miller said. “We’ve got a great team. We’re battling through some injuries right now, and I'm not going to make excuses for anything like that – hats off to the Minnesota Vikings, they came in and beat us, but this is good medicine, man. I'm excited to come into the facility on Wednesday and be the same Von that I've always been, and be a light in the locker room, and be a light to my teammates, and getting to see the brighter side, man. We're in a good spot. We're 6-3. Like we’ve got a long season to go. I know I get up here and I say this every week, but you know, it’s the truth. You know, one win can destroy a team, and one loss can destroy a team, and that's just not us. I promise you, that’s not going to be us.”




Yeah....Von Miller is the credible voice to listen to....NOT ’the SKY is falling Brigade’....which is in full force in this thread, exactly like I expected.

The Bills are about to show us who they are. You (and others) have almost ALWAYS taken the ’the SKY is falling’ route. You in particular predicted a 2-5 start to the season. And your new sourpuss prediction of the upcoming Jets and Miami games makes me want to puke in disgust.

If the Bills do NOT do what I, and Von Miller, and I suspect EVERY MEMBER OF THE BILLS expect them to do, then, AND ONLY THEN it will be time to bury them.

I am predicting the Bills will go on a SIX GAME WIN STREAK, decisively beat NE on the road, and especially Miami and the Jets at home....and will have a 12-3 record before the Cincy Monday night game.


If one does not believe this, WHY and HOW do they even consider themselves a Bills “fan”????

I’m not going to fault McDermott for the INT that Josh threw on the 4th and 2 play. That INT was UGLY. Same with the one in OT.

If Josh makes the pass, McD is brilliant and went for the crushing score.


Plus there were MORE chances to win the game....Josh just screwed the pooch. It happens to the best QB’s in history, and will again.

I'm not faulting McDermott for the INT. I'm faulting him for putting Josh in a do or die situation when that had not been going well and the lead was shrinking.

Demonstrating trust is important but slightly less important than protecting your struggling QB who has way too much pressure on him.

There are other ways to win games.

We’ll...well....well.....

LOTS of loser talk posts after the Minny game…..perfect example of pathetic loser mindset from too many “fans” on this thread. The premise that stared this thread was SPOT ON!!!!


Yes, it was a loss.

Josh Allen is handing away loses like Halloween candy. All three loses are squarely on him. He had clear chances to win each of those games, and ****ed it up one way or the other.

Yes, this loss hurt the Bills in the standings.

But, to throw in the towel with eight games left, four division games, three at home is beyond negative, it’s lunatic LOSER talk.

Starting a thread, Now, can we PLEASE stop all the Super Bowl talk (http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/showthread.php/261649-Now-can-we-PLEASE-stop-all-the-Super-Bowl-talk-!)? is totally ridiculous. What kind of fans give up when the going gets tough???

****ty ones.


Among the loser talk misery….I post THIS prediction….



BTW....I’m looking forward to the Bills going on a six game (at least) winning streak.

The Bills will be going into Cincy in week #17 with a 12-3 record.


More loser talk from the Nattering Nabobs of Negativity litter the thread…



I'm worried about making the playoffs.


3rd in the Div. Can’t win close games.

Not true. They can win 1 of every 8 close games.


Bill's don't need a playoff this year . Josh is not MVP . Head coach is awful . Need fire him until season over


No... let Bill's lose vs Brown . Josh Allen is awful with too many int .
Head coach need fire
Defense coach need fire. . Let start all over new game next year. Draft need New CB and Defense and OL . Dont need RB and WR .



Chubb is going to run for 8 million yards next sunday

Nice prediction….Chubb ran for only 19 yards on 14 carries. A 1.4 YPC averge. :rolleyes:


This year . Bill's will be 8 win 9 lost no playoff this year and no MVP dreaming not true Josh Allen . With too many Int .


Cleveland is going to run all over them.

And we've never won in Detroit on Thanksgiving.

Another pair of lame loser talk predictions. Cleveland did NOT run all over the Bills…in FACT, the Bills outgained the Browns on the ground 171 yards to only 80.

The Bills BEAT Detroit on Thanksgiving.

Your loser talk is 0-2.



We can probably stop the loser talk when they stop losing. Otherwise it's elementary. Hardly makes me less a fan to acknowledge the obvious, which is that they lost stupid again. And hardly makes me less a fan to acknowledge they lost, because well, they lost. I'd feel pretty stupid pretending there was any victory in this game, because, well, we lost it stupidly.


SO…I make the prediction AGAIN…..

I didn’t “give up”on the team. I’ve still watched every second of Bills football this year. Hell, I’ve missed maybe 5 games in the last two decades. I simply acknowledged- and continue to acknowledge- that they struggle against lesser opponents and are going to have to play much better if they are going to win against Cincy and/or in the playoffs.

Nope. Just experiencing profound schadenfreude in yet another time (after so many) that Opi’s extreme negatively and predictions of doom and gloom are wrong.

There is no one poster that has been more negative and more wrong than Opi. The amount of vitriol he directs at the Buffalo Bills is more appropriate on a Miami, New England or Kansas City forum.

His posts certainly are exactly the kind of crap fans of those teams would throw our way.

Come to think of it, I have visited a Pats fan forum and they are usually much more respectful of the Buffalo Bills than Opi and many other “fans” here.

You clearly don’t understand what “vitriol” means. Vitriol is active, visceral hatred. What I express is doubt based solely on how they are performing.

It’s really ****ing annoying how anytime anyone mentions anything that isn’t 100% positive about the team- no matter how factually accurate and/or reasonable it is- you immediately accuse them of “hatred” and not being a fan.

Now, I’m not saying I’ve been factually accurate or reasonable every time. Sadly, I have to admit that I have not.

That being said, it doesn’t matter with you. I’ve literally posted actual stats and lists of actual things that really happened during games, and you just respond with “that’s LOSER talk!”

It’s complete insanity. Basically, you decided months ago that this team was winning the SB, and anytime anyone says anything that suggests that might not happen- no matter how factually accurate or reasonable it is- you completely lose their **** and attack them.

BTW, Opi, saying that the Bills "have to play much better if they are going to win against Cincy and/or in the playoffs.”, prove how unrealistic and clueless you are.

You have got it completely BACKWARDS. CINCY is the team that has to play much better to have a chance at beating the Bills.

Two weeks in a row they looked terrible most of the game. They were down 17-0 against the woeful Tampa Bay bucs....and it took an epic poor performance by TB12 and TB, giving the ball away multiple times that allowed them to come back. They deserved to lose that game.

Against the Pats they went ahead 22-0, but let NE fully back in the game, and SHOULD have lost if not for NE choking. Cincy REALLY deserved to lose that game.

KC played two pretty poor games (before Seattle...I have not watched it yet). They let Denver back in their game, and if Wilson did not get concussed and left the game, they could have easily lost (to one of the worst teams in the league).

Then, last week, it took them until OT, and the Texan’s QB to literally hand them the ball, and the win against THE worst team in the league.

The Bills played more than well enough to beat the opponent that are facing. SIX TIMES IN A ROW!!!! They beat the crap out of Chicago. DESPITE the few errors.

Out of the three best teams in the AFC, Buffalo, Cincy and KC, the BILLS are paying the EBST football RIGHT NOW!!!

To deny that is to deny reality.

Of course, YOU said it is a “FACT” that the Bills are NOT Super Bowl contenders. One of the silliest and clueless comments on this site this year.

I could list them all (unfortunately the ones from 2021 and 2020 are gone), but, what’s the use....you are in complete denial.


You can post all the “stats” or “what happened” all you want...it’s the way you analyze and perceive, and especially SPIN them that is pure garbage. Your judgment and perception is pure garbage as well.

That is why almost all of your vitriolic and massively negative predictions concerning the Bills of doom and gloom are almost ALWAYS wrong.

Huh? Cincy crushed NE in the first half. We played like **** against Chicago in the first half. If we played as poorly as we did in the first half against the Bengals, and they played as well as they did in the first half against NE, they would have been up on us by a lot more than the 22-0 lead they had today.

That is your whole bias. NE is a better team than Chicago this year. Yes, I know Chicago won head to head, but NE has a lot more wins in a much tougher division. We have a bad half against a 1 win team. Cincy had a bad half against a 7 win team, against a coach who won 6 SB’s. Yet, they’re the ones that need to improve to beat us? Gimme a ****ing break.

That he’s a fan just like you are. The idea that any fan has the right to tell another fan how they can or want to support their team is absurd. Some fans are more positive others more negative, neither is right or wrong. There is no one way to be a fan of a team.

A 1960 Bills-Raiders program ended on Friday but went for 384 dollars.

Too rich for my blood.

I like the mini helmets. They are sharp. All different kind of colors. I like the blue ones the best. Although the black ones are sweet and the salute to service ones are nice too.

Right now I have Kelly, Reed, Thomas, OJ, Flutie, Rousseau, Hyde, Poyer, Edmunds, Diggs, McKenzie, Beasley, Gabe Davis, Harrison Phillips, Cook, Moulds, Tre White, Levi Wallace, Dawson Knox.

Looking to add Spencer Brown, Dawkins, Ike, Morse, Milano, Oliver, Bass, Taron Johnson, Benford, Elam, Miller, Shaq, AJ, and Allen eventually. If they win the Super Bowl my goal is to get a mini from everyone on the roster.

I'm about 45 programs short of having every one from the first 25 years of the franchise.

Being that old I can only assume they are hard go come by.

Are you getting them from the blind "auctions" they have been having all season? My son picked up a Christian Benford one just before the season.

TSE Buffalo, Pristine Auction, Ebay, local memorabilia shop.

TSE Buffalo seems like they have the best deals. Here's Benford helmets for around $50.

What kind of crap are you trying to throw now by saving (http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/showthread.php/261655-Now-can-we-PLEASE-stop-all-the-LOSER-talk-!?p=4989546&viewfull=1#post4989546) that “Notacon doesn’t even watch the game live.”

The Bills have played 15 games so far. TWELVE of them were broadcast here in Vegas “live”, either in prime time (or Thanksgiving) or included in the local games.

I watched all of those virtually “live? Are you whining about my practice (that I use for all “live” sports” to record the event, and start watching about 30 minutes in so I can fast forward through the interminable and annoying commercials???

Ending the first half pretty much caught up to the “live” time line, and then either eat dinner (for prime-time games) or lunch for Sunday morning games. And then am caught up to the time line by the end of the game.

Are you seriously *****ing about a 30 minute or less delay in my watching habit as somehow deeming me being not worthy??? REALLY!?!?!?!

Or are you crying about the three games that I watched on NFL+ Premium with a three hour delay, still watching the game EXACTLY like you, not knowing what is coming, or the outcome…and that means I am a lesser fan?!?!?


BTW, as I mentioned in another thread, I tried out a new method to watch a Bills game that is not broadcast in my local area, using a VPN and able to change my compute’s IP location so I watched the Chicago rout “live” on Paramount+. Including every stupid excruciating commercial and all.


Because my wife (in particular) and I do not want to use the crappy DirectTV service (which we tried before and it did not fulfill our needs) for our TV watching needs, with it’s out-of-date technology of sticking an ugly satellite on my roof make me an unworthy Bills fan?!?!?!? :rofl: :rofl:

Jesus. I mean you have been known to present some pretty lame ideas over the years, but this has got to be one of the lamest EVER.

Can you be any more obtuse?!?!


You are a smart guy, Opi, but this take is just not very smart. It’s silly. Smacks of one that is trying the defend the indefensible….and coming up short.

No, Opi, how one watches a Bills game is irrelevant. What IS relevant to determining a worthy Bills fan is the attitude toward the team, outlook and mindset. The perception of what the team is and how they are preforming expressed in analysis, and especially SPIN, that fuels PREDICTIONS….

…And whether that SPIN and those PREDICTIONS are positive (with a reasonable amount of constructive criticism….what the majority of normal level headed posters here express) or putting forward constant griping, whining and massively NEGATIVE SPIN, almost NO MATTER what the reality is.

The ASTOUNDINGLY NEGATIVE PREDICTIONS OF DOOM AND GLOOM, that have NO BASIS in REALITY, and are almost ALL completely WRONG!!!!

I can list some if you like…..and I DID post a modest (as in not all of them, just the glaringly obvious crap) list of you undeniably quitting on the team. (http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/showthread.php/261737-We-got-the-win-but?p=4981975&viewfull=1#post4981975)

And now you have added to the undeniable quitting on the team with the negative poo-poo gem….



And we won’t be in the driver’s seat when Cincy exposes us.



The reality is that you quit on this team over and over and over and over and over again.

And your refusal to even come close to recognizing just how almost universally NEGATIVE your posts are concerning the Bills….so much so that your OUTSIZED, OVER-THE-TOP and EXAGGERATED pessimism is now legendary on this site is what the problem is.

The perfect illustration of the absurd LOSER TALK and UNDENABLE evidence of Opi QUITTING on the Bills can be found in this epic thread that he started….JUST to **** on the Bills….

We got the win, but….. (http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/showthread.php/261737-We-got-the-win-but?highlight=)

I took the time to read every one of Opi’s posts. All 123 of them.

I then, objectively categorized them into three groups, positive, negative and neutral (neither positive or negative). The count….


Positive – ZERO!!!

Neutral – Fourteen.

Negative – A whopping ONE HUNDRED AND NINE!!!

Stop denying the undeniable. You are BY FAR the most negative, unrealistic and crappy Bills “fan” EVER.
