I just don't get it anymore with this team.

Is it hockey season yet? I hear, given 6 months, Nate Peterman could be an NHL player, according to mcbeane.

rex ryan as a bills coach, never lost a game by more then 16 points

in 17 regular season games

golden boy has a 44 point loss to baltimore
37 point loss to the saints
30 point loss to the chargers
21 point loss to pats
20 point loss to the pats

those 5 losses occurred in our last 9 regular season games

Also led the team to the post season for the first time in 20 years and held the Jags to 10 points.

I think you expected far too much out of this edition of the Bills. It was always gonna be bad. Gotta take the lumps and regroup next year with the draft picks and cap space.

First the board gets nostalgic for Fitz, and now Rex?

We all lived through it, and both sucked.

I don’t hate McDermott, but they should have lucked into the playoffs at some point over the last 18 years anyways. I don’t give them too much credit. It’s not like we were 12-4.

I actually think ending the streak royally (frank)ed McBeane’s plans of a rebuild, and forced them to trade more than they wanted for Allen etc.

what rebuild includes trading up for a qb with no o line, no young rb's and no legit wr's/te's

Yeah, that's probably right.

They've still accomplished something, though. I figured this year was gonna suck, and last year was really fun. I think these two are on to something, but they need more time

That's why Allen wasn't supposed to play until 5-6 games in when the pressure was off, the o line gained some experience, and it was garbage time in the season for him to gain some experience.

Unfortunately, Peterman is historically inept. That kinda screwed everything up

It was fun week 17 and the week after leading to the playoffs, but I wouldn’t say the games were that fun outside of maybe Tampa, Atlanta, Colts and one or two others.

We got hammered in a few, and had the same routine 100-150 yard passing games we’ve seen for 15 years now.

Again, it’s not like we were 12-4

Saying last year was fun is kind of revisionist history IMO

IMO it's a lot more then peterman

I sold my playoff tickets and pocketed $400 profit from the 2 tickets

I never would have done that in the 90's

we all knew the team last year was not special

As a 27-year old, it was the most fun Bills season of my life. For the first time, "in the hunt" wasn't a joke or a cliche, and Andy Dalton's pass was the most fun way to spend New Year's Eve. Having a playoff game for the first time since I was 9 was awesome. The whole year was fun for me

To each his own, but even the “in the hunt” was kind of a joke after the bad loss to LA.

We were 90% if I remember correctly to not make it after week 16?

The week 17 and after was a huge thrill.

But this team got pounded by LA, NO, scored 3 points against Carolina, another blow out by NE, bad prime time loss to the Jets.

It wasn’t a good year

The Jets look pretty good.

The Jets look pretty good.

Disagree. The lions look awful

This

Jets score 48,we give up 47. Jets D, 2 TD our D, give up 47 points.


I''l have to check the tape.

And you guys all laughed at gerbe for when he wanted to tank last year. He is right half the time and wrong half the time, just when he’s wrong he couldn’t be any more wrong.

I laughed at him saying we’d win two games.

I wanted to draft a QB high (without trading up)

A rebuild in which it is known:
A) the QB selected needs a full year of being coached-up until he is ready to be thrown to the wolves. That was and still is the opinion of most knowledgeable analysts.
B) this year was going to suck totally suck since there were faf too many holes to fill and no money to buy FA's due to $50m in dead cap space.
C) a team that collected 10 picks in the upcoming draft to fortify several holes
D) A team that realizes their draft position will be verg high when it has all these picks available
E) a team that realizes next season it will have one of the largest Cap spaces available in FA to spend to fortify several holes
F) a team that is trying to TIme the arrival of A, C, D and E above in view of B above.

I am astounded by the apparent new realization by many posters that this roster sucks and therefore the team's performance is going to really suck bad, like historically Bills bad..i.e 3-13. You all got blinded by the annual Hope Campaign the Bills have been selking during each preseason for the past 15 years.

You are right that the Bills should trade aging veterans like Shady this season and acquire more draft capital to give them more flexibity to trade back and up to fill several holes with high quality selections. But I stated that last year too.

Everybody has been on board, we all knew they were lucky to make the playoffs last year and nobody said they would this year. Sunday's game was all out terrible and none expected that.

nice post

I don't see the reason to sign murphy and star long term if this was the plan

that extra 18 mil in cap space looks a lot better then what we will have
