Still no QB, bad coaching with predictable play calls, too many injuries, supposed "stars" who don't show up at key moments, too many penalties, missed tackles, McFumbles, doinked field goals... It's been worse but it is still not close to success.
Expect 5-6 after KC and another year of "well we can still make the playoffs if we win out and team A loses out and team B finishes with the same record as us and beats team C but has to lose to team D and team E...."

You know what? I thought Ryan coached a pretty damn good game. He kept under control, despite some "questionable" calls, and the defense played great. Roman and the offense were terrible, though. This team is destined for 8-8, but at least you don't feel hopeless like we did under Jauron and Gailey.

Will we hit a quarter century?
I disagree Thurmal, I still feel hopeless.
Same, and I still care as much as I did 20 years ago, which is really mind boggling. I'm crazy for still getting emotional over this team.Originally Posted by Novacane
We just stood toe-to-toe with the best team in the league, but we didn't win...so we'll probably doomed for another 5 years, including this one.
Gotcha.
Ryan had a hell of a defensive scheme tonight, ask me.

I disagree with the KC thing. I think they destroy the Chiefs.
If the Defense plays like it did last night, there aren't many teams that will beat Buffalo.
It was the Pats and they lost by 7.
That equals 5 more years of doom ?
OK.
Why is your grocery store out of tin foil ?
WTF is the point of this thread?
We still have no QB. We will be drafting middle of the pack this year, so even if we find one in the draft, he won't be ready for a couple of years, and by that time most of our DL and McCoy will be past their prime. Yeah, there's FA/trades, but good QB's are rarely available via those routes and if they are, we'd be hard-pressed to fit them under the cap and would likely have to dump salary somewhere else, which means a new hole.
So yeah, we are screwed for another 5 years.
The score was close but NE proved they are still leagues ahead of us. They find ways to win whereas we find ways to lose. And their only real issue was their OL.
Dude...piss off...seriously
What an exciting outlook! Tell me more!!
Said every team NE has played this year.
Except that only 3 of those teams have NE in their division, which means two games against them a year and no real shot at a div crown. We've been trying to close the talent gap between us and NE for over a decade and still aren't close.
I'm with OP.
Same wine, different bottle.

We don't need to win the division to end the playoff drought, and as of today New England no longer factors into our playoff chances. We control our own destiny and if we don't get in it will have nothing to do with NE. That's about all that I expected after 10 games, a realistic shot at the playoffs. Comparing any team in the NFL to New England is worthless, nobody stacks up over the last 15 years. The first thing anyone should do when trying to mimic New England would be to find their own version of Ernie Adams.
That's the best the D has played this year. Couple key penalties (particularly having the INT called back) but they hit Brady a LOT and clearly frustrated him. And you have to give NE's D some credit, they played really well. Having said that there were some plays to be made in the 2nd half that were not made by Taylor. He showed courage playing hurt at the end but this was a winnable game with better QB play. I said before the game NE was banged up on the OL and that, along with losing Edelman and Lewis, was worth 2 TD's off their usual 35 PPG. I was close on that. But I expected more from our offense.
The problem is t the bills. The pats have almost no starters and they scored 20 points against a d that had their number. Don't you think that's indicative of something? Between the friendly refs picking up flags. Overturning turnovers, you can't beat them because they are protected. Bills and jets fans are loyal. They have our money. Pats fans are new. And once they lose, Gillette empties out.
Granted thhe he bills missed fg and mckelvin's roster spot were huge issues. As is duke Williams. He wasn't in position for that all out blitz. If Rambo was in, that wasn't a big play for them.
Once you you come to terms that the NFL will do anything to keep that pats at the top, the lack of playoffs for the bills starts to hurt a lot less.

Yeah lot of whine around here

So Brady is going to be playing at this level when he's 43-years-old?
why not. They protect him with the calls. He hardly gets hit. And when they move on another qb will just "get the system".
