The Sabres and the Bills remind me of a failing construction equipmen manufacturing company deciding to paint their equipment Pink in hopes of attracting buyers aligned to the Breast Cancer movement.
F all that crap and get friggin talented personnel and surround them with a top notch support organization...you know, the things that actually matter and make a difference...but nope, hey look at our wonderful pink earth movers
Holy crap.

Who gives a poop, they both suck...meh, Peterman, Taylo4 or the anti-Christ ... they all suck...like the past 17 years.
Get a friggin Franchise QB...no excuses this year through either the draft or FA.

Whether or not we draft a Franchise qb this offseason...
WHICH I AGREE, WE SHOULD

has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with it being difficult for Baltimore or Miami to catch us & knock us out of the playoffs

Could it happen?
Of course
But we have a a GREAT chance getting in with 9 wins,
and even a pretty decent chance getting in with only 8 wins

But I guess u can just keep yelling about the last 17 years & ignore what’s currently happening
Your perogative I guess
A lot of good it will do though

The marketing department is separate from all the other stuff you’re talking about
Has zero affect on the issues you’re saying we need help with

Do u ever make sense?
It’s not your strong suit, that’s for sure

- jdfitz77


Nope, no sense...let’s market the poop out of our failing organization, and fans buy in...yup, makes sense to me.
But hey, you know with all the GD championship trophies, it is hard to argue against that approach.

Here’s the deal...
A fan revolt is required to push both organizations in the right direction ... I’m leading the charge.
You think this BS organization One Buffalo would survive a day in Boston, Pittsburgh, Dallas, and other cities that actually have a clue on championships?
Their focus is so misguided it is appalling.

What do u think this “fan revolt” is gonna do exactly?
Do u think the Bills/Sabres are TRYING TO PICK THE WROMG PLAYERS?

How is getting all fired up gonna change things?

- IonSabres


I don’t say we’d beat KC or the Pats
I think our most likely final record is 8-8

When u look at what a team has to do to overtake us,
that gives us a pretty good shoot at still getting in the playoffs

Change their poopty scouting staff, push them to accountability, overcome marketing BS.
Remember 2 months before Pegula fired Darcy..”what has he done wrong” Was his question on air ... fans revolted...Boom, no more Darcy.
They F’d-up with GMTM in hindsight...another setback.
While I do like the current GM/Coach combinations...the rest of both organizations absolutely suck...They are a complete, utter disasterous joke.
So let’s market to the fan base, they are snake oil salesmen...but the base keeps buying in!

Listened to NHL and NFL broadcasts today...was entertaining listening to how the rest of the world views these teams.

I’m done, going to bed for my really big boy job tomorrow, lol.
Enjoy, and don’t forget to buy those new Sabre And Peterson Jerseys!

I think the Bills still have a GREAT chance to make it

Our competition for the last playoff spot is with the Raiders, Miami & Baltimore, all 4-5

If we finish 8-8, then for us to miss the playoffs...

Raiders must go 5-2
-there’s just no way that’s happening with their remaining schedule

Miami must go 4-3
-but would likely have to beat us twice to get the tiebreaker

Baltimore must go 4-3
-they might end up with the tie break over us
*they’re the biggest threat imo

But if we can finish 9-7,
then I think we are a lock for the playoffs

- jdfitz77


FYI, 8-8 or better is closer to 11-5 than 3-13. Apparently you’re the number one Bills fan now, but your story’s changin.

I thought we’d go 6-10
So I’m not sure where you’re getting 3-13 or 11-5

There never was a chance of us going 11-5
No way

I’m what I always have been
Someone who objectively looks at the situation being discussed

At the beginning of this season,
it was far more likely we’d miss the playoffs than make it (and the 11-5 talk was utter nonsense)

The turnovers the defense created early on won us some games we likely would’ve lost
And that’s given us a chance,
while teams like Oakland, Denver, SD & Cinci have all struggled this year & not lived up to what was expected of them

That has opened the door for the Bills

But we still aren’t good
Still plenty of holes & lack of depth
Probably lose in the 1st round,
since we'll be playing at KC, PIT or NE

And we still need a “franchise” QB...
because (like I’ve been saying all along),
Tyrod is NOT one

regarding the Bills

They need to use the next 7 games to figure out what they have with Peterman

- homiedclown


We have a legit shot at the playoffs
That’s TOP priority

Even if we played Petersen for all 7 games, idk how strongly we could make out where he projects long term?
Still a small-ish sample size

We will still need to draft a franchise qb
Or sign someone like Cousins

For what QB to play NOW...
it’s whoever gives us the best chance to win

Breaking the non-playoff streak is important

In his final year at Pitt, Peterman finished with 27 TDS and 7 ints. He was 8th in the country in passer rating, in front of guys named Darnold, Rudolph, Trubisky and Watson.

- BeadyEyedDouche

and it's easy to tell by the 8 minute mark in the second quarter, when we have no chance to win


Cam Newton completed 8 out of 11 passes on 3rd down Monday
Every pass was over the line for a first down

Tyrod throws to a backup RB 10 yards short of the sticks

Plenty of College QBs who had great stats but weren’t good NFL QBs

What u wrote above means very little

Peterman was at 50% completions in the preseason vs backups playing Vanilla defenses

I’m ok with him getting this start
If he looks good, play him again
If not, we are still trying to win games THIS season
That should be the focus

We need to draft or sign a QB no matter how he plays

What would Peterman have to do to show you he’s our “franchise” QB?

For me,
I don’t think he can realistically prove that in 7 games
