    Yes it does, and the past 49 years have also embarrassed me to no end. I was born into this schnit, I wish that when my grandparents left Scranton in the 40's that they had moved to Pittsburgh.

    The Indian burial ground curse is real.

    Maybe Rex thinks he's starring in a reality show.

    This current team is a checklist of SEC players who are really great at the combine, but can't discipline themselves enough to avoid 15 penalty meltdowns when things get tough.

    Yeah let's no overreact over one game - we beat ourselves, get it, but as far as I'm concerned, we have a qb and a te, something we haven't had for 15 years. Maybe glass half full but.... My glass half empty side says what the f is wrong with our lines? Looking for any blocking from the o-line and a pass rush from any of our probowl front 4. We now have to win a game this year we're not supposed to. Maybe Cincinnati?

    Is this a cut and paste from the New England game?

    Our front office spent the off-season blowing a ton of money on flashy toys and thought taking a risk on a cheap free agent and using a third round pick was 'good enough'.
    Our owner, and front office, hired a HC and majority of his staff that are dumb enough to think they should fix something that wasn't broke.

    Re: I hate to shatter anyone's illusions....

    The run defense was abysmal. Very little pass rush.
    Not a whole lot of adjustments in second half.
    Too many giants fans.

    Rex's vaunted defense looked pedestrian compared to NY's.

    I noticed Corey Glenn got injured, anyone else on the o line get injured?

    Henderson went out for a few plays, but returned to the game.
    KuJo got his head firmly entrenched in his ass, he'll probably have to undergo an MRI on Monday to see how far up it is and if surgery is required to remove it.

    How KuJo is still on this team is baffling. Hell how he is even in this league is baffling.

    They live and die by Eli. Spagnulo has the defense playing over their heads. If Eli gives a good effort, as today, they look like the old Giants. But sometimes it just loolks like Eli checks out.

    I'm gonna take the blame. Whenever I'm quiet before a game we win. Whenever I open my stupid trap to my non bills fan friends, we lose.
    I came.
    I saw.
    I conquered.

    No this is my fault. I picked the Bills for the first time all year. I want to believe in this team, but when I do they yank the football out from in front of me and I end up on my ass.

    Re: I hate to shatter anyone's illusions....

    looks to me like this team is a mental case. its not that they cant handle adversity, its that they cant handle success. the medias giving them handjobs before the cheaters and giants games telling everybody how awesome they are and they promptly come out and a) suck 2) shoot their mouths off instead of playing football

    i thought rex did a good job getting a talent challenged jets team to overachieve much of the time but so far hes making this talent loaded team underachieve. not ready to pull the plug on him but two out of four games shooting yourself in the nuts is unacceptable

    Very convenient penalties beat us. The fix was in. One sided biased officiated bull****. Tyrods run into the endzone, watch it, there was no hold. Game changer. One after another. ****ing joke.

    The confidence of the players in the home locker room wasn’t damaged at all.

    “I don’t think it was a really big deal for us,” said wideout Chris Hogan, who caught five passes for 43 yards. “We didn’t have Sammy today. We didn’t have LeSean today. We have ... Percy Harvin on the outside. We have Robert Woods on the outside. We have Karlos Williams, who ran for 100 yards. And we have Charles” Clay. “We have weapons. I don’t think we missed a beat with that.”
    http://bills.buffalonews.com/2015/10...t-accountable/

    Karlos didn't run for 100 (hello Chris ?). It's not a big deal some people weren't there, but some people weren't there so it was a big deal, I hear Ryan talking in the locker room, and I'd cut Hogan on principle for saying they didn't miss a beat in scoring 10 points at home with all those weapons.

    Game changer : Themselves, they are their own problem and coaches are letting them believe it.

    I still think this is a good football team, and I believe that most weeks they will be fun to watch, but I think it will be 16 years when it's all said and done.

    Their schedule is too tough to keep shooting themselves in the foot.

    I thought their schedule was fair as far as the teams they were slated to play. Their SOS was .468, the #19 spot.

    In upcoming games, only 3 clubs currently have winning records - CIN, NE, and NYJ...which doesn't mean much at this point.


    I think a problem lies with their away game schedule in the 2nd half of the season...the three consecutive away games Nov 13, 23, 29, then home, then 2 away games Dec 13 and 20.
