Yea, we (browns fans) need you guys to slow it down and get back to your losing ways. That pick is tumbling down in the first round...
It's funny, yea. But you have to be a little irked by the way they successfully went three and out over and over. Orton threw for 4 TDs and yet it feels like the Jets lost that game more than the Bills won it.Yep. Let's start all over. That will fix everything.
They won by 20 points and people are pissed.
You really think Brown would do better running up the gut every play? Because that's exactly what they did with him too yesterday which is why his ypc was even worse than Dixon's.
It was worth watching the whole game just for that one play. Who the hell ever thought that was a good idea?
This was one of the stranger games I've seen in a long time. To the degree that a team can look absolutely wretched on offense while still putting up 43 points, the Bills looked awful pretty much all game long. The way the Jets played, a decent offense would have hung 60 on them.Yep. Let's start all over. That will fix everything.

Lol. One of the strangest "ideas" I've seen.
Are you super confident? It's great that they got the W, but there are plenty of reasons not to be overly excited.Yep. Let's start all over. That will fix everything.

IIRC, on their first 11 drives, the Bills had 8 3-and-outs. I don't think anyone is upset that they won, but that's a worrisome statistic. I don't care how the game ended, if you're getting the ball inside the opponents' territory 4-5 times, you have to do more than kick a few FGs and punt a few times. This game should've been over at halftime, but the Bills went 3-and-out to start the second half and the Jets got the ball back immediately down a touchdown. They struggle to put teams away.Yep. Let's start all over. That will fix everything.

I don't know, I kind of liked this one:
Or, Bills fans can enjoy success and still be honest about the situation and realize that they need to improve on things if they want to be serious contenders.
Are you talking about yesterday or all season? I was talking about yesterday since that is what most of the recent conversation was about (including your post), but if you want to talk overall, then I wouldn't say the Bills have had "success" just yet since the season is only half over.
It wasn't just that we almost beat them. It was that it was the biggest ###-kicking in a 10pt loss in NFL history. Their CB gets juked out of his jock and falls into a 100yd int return before a fumble return TD. GMAFB.
I'm pretty sure Sammy showboating his way into the end zone with a Jets defender on his back was far dumber.GroveDiesel said:
I agree that his play designs in the passing game have been really good for the most part (I do think it was a mistake to scheme Watkins out of the NE game), but the play design and play calling for the running game has been atrocious. I mean, nobody can really argue that Spiller wasn't misused or that running up the middle constantly despite the worst guard play in the league isn't frustrating to watch.
I was just going to come here and post the same link. My god, the Bills line-play was atrocious last week - particularly in the running game. Brown missing open running lanes didn't help either.
It doesn't matter if they have a bunch of crappy run plays. Orton to Watkins is there all day long when they need it.
So is Dareus gonna ask for more than that? That's an insane amount of money.
So happy they are winning. Surprised too.
My Bengals didn't take it the Patriots :(Unlike the Jets, you guys have a coach who is willing to make a proactive move to try to win. Maybe Orton doesn't have it. But your division is there for the taking right now and at least you should be happy to have a coach willing to take a shot now versus the vague promises of someday the Jets coach is giving to their fans.
Hopefully my Bengals take it to the Patriots for you guys next week

You would have to think Dareus is going to want a very similar deal to the one McCoy just signed.
He's bounced around for so long that I think he'd have to take them deep into the playoffs to shake the "journeyman" perception. And if he does that, I'd gladly pay more.
From an outsiders perspective, I don't see how they can pay all of their defensive lineman what you are suggesting. Mario is making top dollar, and now so is McCoy. If you add Dareus and Hughes to that, you would have about 40% of your salary cap tied up in your defensive line. You better have the rebirth of the Steel Curtain for that kind of monetary investment.
It's still too early to think about that yet. As mentioned above, the second half of the schedule is stacked with playoff contenders - including the next two games (Chiefs and Dolphins). The Bills' playoff chances may be on life support in just 10 days.
Getting Mario Williams to restructure his deal would be crucial to keeping that unit in tact.
These deals almost never happen. Teams aren't going to give up that much for a guy making a lot of money and only under contract for 1 year (if he even agreed to sign the tag).
Too bad Al Davis isn't still alive. If the Pats could get a first rounder for a past-his-prime Richard Seymour, what would old Al give for a 24 year old pass rushing stud?
I am stupid.
Hard to say. The D's worse games have been vs other dink&dunk teams - NE & SD; so that doesn't bode well. Of course a simpler way of looking at that is those are the two best QB's they've played by far. KC certainly did nothing last year on offense in this game; though they're playing better now despite the worse record.
