They are unserious

They are unserious

To everyone but themselves.

You have something here. They are unserious indeed. This is one of Vrabel’s strengths imo.

This is not the NBA and Josh Allen is not LeBron James...

And thank goodness for that.

 

[PancakeBlockPaul]

The Bills mediocrity will get even more mediocre if they hire Rivers. Make it happen!!!!

Because I have self respect I don't watch a lot of Bills games, but I never knew Josh Allen was this much of an actress. Holy lord, some of these are cringeworthy.

If Drake ever starts doing this we all need to call him out on it.

Wow. I just lost a LOT of ****ing respect for that dude just now. And it's the same schtick all the time too.

Agree. Like someone else said, Drake better not end up like this…

Josh Allen's deal has 5 years remaining. If things continue to go in the wrong direction over the next year or two I could see him demanding a trade.

Gee, even after the owner goes on national TV to describe him crying like a b*tch when he (once again) can't get it done?

I mean, I've been really mean on facebook to a Bills fan group, but if any players see stuff like that. they can tune it out, or at least they should be able to.

But this guy is supposed to be on YOUR SIDE... In fact, he's supposed to be the owner of your side.

I never thought I'd see myself type this, but poor Josh Allen. Mr. Can't-Do was a really nice guy, it looked like, and you really don't want that guy to be that sad, unless it's the Pats making him feel like that. Hell, maybe he just has good publicity people.

But that owner saying basically, "I fired McDermott because he made Josh cry too much," plays to Josh as "I fired your coach because you cried so much."

That's like "It's not your fault. Daddy and Mommy are getting a divorce because Daddy drinks. Of course, Daddy drinks because you're bad."

I can't imagine a better way to complete the Buffalo implosion. And again, seems like a really friendly guy and nothing personal against him, but this looks like a really good way to publicly destroy Josh Allen.

This should be the scandal of the century, the monumental malfeasance at the highest level scandal. But no, nothing about football can actually be a scandal in football... just sh** about camera placement and soft balls.

Yeah I thought that was a weird angle as well. It also sets up a bad locker room dynamic for the next coach, who will know if he upsets Allen he may get fired, so he will need to basically kiss Allen’s ass 24/7. Which, tbh, was probably already going on, but was most likely causing locker room issues, and the way this was handled is just going to ensure those issues persist and potentially get worse. They’re not the Buffalo Bills, they’re the Buffalo Josh Allens, with a brief cameo appearance by 52 other nobodies.

All for a guy that has present Buffalo fans envious of being close enough that "WIDE RIGHT" was a thing

I almost can't taunt them anymore. Can you imagine?

Springsteen has a line, "I swear I was never that way even when I really cracked." I mean, we're just fortunate in NE. Can you imagine the frustration of being a Bills fan? It's not even like being a JETE fan, where if you make the playoffs it's a fun joke. These guys get themselves all primed to really do the thing but somehow always have an excuse. I can feel the division coming back to Daddy now, and what's more, so can Buffalo. That's what this is.

We are so in these fokker's heads.

Funny thing is even if Drake loses today, he will have still gotten as far as Allen ever has. Allen’s highest career advancement after ~8 years in the league is 2x AFCCG appearances with 0 wins. Drake has 1 appearance in his second season. And the Pats feel closer to going back than the Bills based on Buffalo’s reshuffling.

 

[Lansdowne]

It’s crazy how close Cooks came to bailing out Allen and changing the narrative from choke artist to clutch performer. Allen’s stinker of a performance (4 turnovers) would’ve been swept under the rug. Instead we get a full blown meltdown of the locker room and front office. Adding Buffalo to the list of enemy teams we’ve seen self-implode in recent weeks just makes this season even more sweeter.

Reshuffling off to Buffalo

3 Bills past their windows...
Bill Parcells
Bill Belichick
Buffalo Bills

But we're still here

Sorry to harsh our collective mellow re: BB. Loved him till almost the end, defended him, waited... It might have been "them," but it was never him.

Stupid.

I don’t know what this team is doing anymore.

That’s why Allen is part of the hiring interview process.

Beane has too much say right now. But you could still luck into a good coach and even with Beane's blunders, you still have the talent to get to the playoffs.
