    Next Game is in 5 days

    How are we going to fix that offensive **** show in so little time? The D wasn't great but played well enough to win. The O was awful on every level. They had one great drive and were inexcusably bad beyond that. And Baltimore's D isn't good. They are a shell of what they were when they won the SB a few years back. We are on the verge of being 0-2 in the conf and 0-1 in the div.

    I remember debating in some thread, the merit ofplaying starters that little in the preseason and saying they either come out fresh and energetic or rusty, and the proof would be in the pudding. Don't panic yet, I think it's rusty ftw in the case of the offense.

    They played their starters plenty in the 1st 2 PS games. There was a thread here. or part of a thread, that posited that it was ok for the Bills to defy the conventional wisdom of using game #2 instead of game #3 for the tune-up, so to speak.

    The gamelan was what was rusty. They had all offseason to prepare. Think of how bad we would have looked if we didn't win the offseason!

    Never just a team by the first two games of the season. This same team could come out and drop 30 on NY Thursday night. About week 4-5, and then you know what you've got.

    It does trouble me a lot how they manage clock and never have a sense of urgency. Don't know where that points though. Still suspect too many cooks in the offensive kitchen.

    If the Bills don't win against the Jets the record after 4-5 weeks won't look too good given their other opponents.

    In 2003, we blew out New England 31-0 (with Belichick & Brady), then Jacksonville 38-17 and finished the season 6-10, -36 points. Mr. Rat has a point.

    Tanking isn't necessary. This team is going to lose no matter how hard they try to win. The talent and coaching just aren't there.

    The plays that were being called were abysmal. The coaching outright sucks.

    I've considered this. End of the season they fire Rex and promote Rob, who hires Rex as his DC who brings back Pettine, letting go Manuel and obtaining Sanchez before trading for Jairus Byrd. One more year they can fire Roman and bring back Gailey as OC before dumping Sanchez for Fitz.

    It's 4 days for the record. If we lose Thursday, which all indications are we will, we'll get killed by Arizona, then NE. Most likely 1-3 or 0-4. Time for another yacht trip for the front office to enjoy their lives. This ownership at some point in time has to wake the **** up.
