    Bad enough to get Rex fired.
    Sorry, I cannot think of more currently.
    Ok. I try:
    Tyrods eyes
    Shaq's healthy other shoulder
    Rob's Hair
    The high draft pick in 2017

    3. The doughnuts Lecter brings to tailgates.
    4. The OJ thing is almost over.
    5. Kim Pegula has a nice ass.

    I'm surprised no one mentioned the absolute best thing about this team: even without Mario, our collection of Williamseseses is #1 in the league.

    Not so sure about that one. Even without Brady until proven otherwise we are already 0-2 as it is every year.

    Re: 5 positives of this Bills team

    We had a good draft
    Our QB situation appears to be stable, not perfect but stable
    Our D can only be better than last year
    We are still mathematically alive for the playoffs
    Mrs. Pegula is HOT!

    I get really tired of this "2nd year" crap. Sure, players and units within the team can improve from one season to the next, but in the history of this website, it has never once been enough of an improvement to create wins. Yet, people keep saying it every single off-season. The only thing I can think of is that it's a way of mind-****ing oneself to believe that a unit that didn't add talent can magically be better.

    Re: 5 positives of this Bills team

    Rex's wife has nice feet I'm told
    We won the offseason
    We might play NE without Brady
    That cancer Mario is off the team
    When we get Shaq back after he returns from the PUP this D has the potential to be nearly as good as before Rex got here

    The thread needs more of a tone like the old Genny Light commercials.

    1. The other 31 teams are filled with filthy creeps.
    2. Cool uniforms and helmets.
    3. Pissing and moaning on BZ 12 months a year distracts me from work.
    4. McLovin and Boobie are finally off the team.
    5. The Jest are dying for Fitz to come back, or else Glass Joe is their starting QB. So it could be worse.
    Remember Kevin Everett in your thoughts.

    So this isn't off-topic anymore, is it, Bubba?

    Maybe now you can be allowed to answer the question without the thread being derailed, you old conscientious son-of-gun.

    Name five positives of this team. Could be anything at all. No need to be sarcastic or have footnotes...

    I'll help you out with one to get started.

    The run game. The run game is a positive thing, is it not? No need to say " that's not enough to get us over the hump" or anything of that nature. If the run game is good, then it's good. That's the idea we're shooting for, and that's all Jesus asks of you.

    He commented on something he thought was a positive- I stated why I disagreed. So yeah, it's on topic.

    I'm not going to go out of my way to look for positives just like I don't go out of my way to look for negatives. I simply comment on what's there. When the team is as bad as it is, there are going to be more negatives than positives and the negatives are what defines the team. Hence, that's what gets discussed. People like you can't seem to grasp this. Yeah, the negatives can be draining at times, but reality is what it is. Finding a few positives and discussing them doesn't change results on the field.

    Yeah, we had a good running game last year. If our backs and OL's stay healthy, we will likely have a good running game this year. But if our passing game is just ok and our D is Swiss cheese again, then the running game won't matter. I was at the game last year in DC where we rushed for 200 yards against the Skins and still lost. If we ran for -4 yards, the results would have been the same. And it was hard to even enjoy it because we spotted them such a huge early lead that all the rushing did was whittle away an insurmountable lead.

    Marquis Goodwin has a record for the long jump
    We have a pretty good punter, and he’s from UC Davis
    We don’t have to play Kansas City this year
    Women and Children’s Hospital is the new sponsor
    And…
    We won the offseason

    Re: 5 positives of this Bills team

    Positives:

    - The Bills' offensive coaching is much better under Greg Roman than it had been with Marrone
    - The Bills' running game is head-and-shoulders better under this coaching staff than it had been under Marrone. The Bills' offensive coordinator is clearly convinced the Roman Empire had been built by running the ball.
    - Sammy Watkins should be a good football player for many years to come.
    - Cordy Glenn was Buddy Nix's best draft pick. And we just extended Glenn.
    - Pegula isn't afraid to spend money, if by doing so he can make the team better.

    "Name 5 positive aspects about the 2016 Buffalo Bills" what else is there to say in comparison to 2015? The offense was a better unit that the D last year.


    Would you rather I say," yippeee another new system to learn all over again. We should get better learning another new system"?

    Oh, wait I remember you crying that we got rid of Pettine after just one year because we had to learn a new system.

    Do you ever get tired of arguing and *****ing about yourself?
