I'm watching purely for comedic value at this point. How bad can this get? They look like the bucs from the 80s. 

But, those Bucs did win a SB in 2003, so there is hope.

+++++

So, will today be the day that someone gets fired?

Never like to see that happen, but ...

Like a wreck.  You can't stop looking.

I know the officiating has nothing to do with why the Bills are losing, but I continue to find it interesting how the "preferred teams" get all sorts of calls in their favor and teams like the Bills are always on the wrong side of the penalty count. We don't get the roughing the passer or pass interference calls other teams do - probably because they don't throw the ball...

No way. The love McClappy.

How do the Bears get a Cheatriots type (unfortunately, correct) call on the Pick 6?  Unbelievable.

Fairly certain my Suicide Picks will be correct this week, sadly.

It was the right call. I’m also still not sure it wasn’t tipped at the line on top of that.

The no-call at the reception was right, but there was some pretty bad holding on another Bills receiver on that play.

Didn’t see that but I’m sure there was. I don’t think the Bills get any real reffing disadvantage (the refs won them the Falcons game last year). I do think talent generally gets you more calls which this team hasn’t had in a long time.

It absolutely was the correct call.  But the Cheatriots are (shockingly) the only team of 32 that knows those nuances of the rules that make huge differences in games.

Still don't understand how every team doesn't have a rules expert on staff drilling these nuances into peoples heads.

My fiancee is from Chicago, so I'm trying to keep tabs on the game for her today. She kept telling me to stop jinxing it because it would be the Bearsy thing to do to blow a 14-point lead. But I had to tell her "I don't think Peterman is going to lead the Bills back". When every pass is within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage and you can't run it... your team is done. Then he ran the ball out of bounds on an untimed down before halftime and I had to laugh anew.

I can't imagine Barkley doesn't have a basic understanding of the playbook down by now.

There's no way he has an understanding of the playbook by now.  He's been here for what, four days?  And he sucks too, anyway.

I haven't seen a minute of this game, but looking at the box score...we kicked a FG down by 28? Maximum McDermott. 

I think his initial instinct was to punt.

I mean, does it matter if we put someone out there even if they have never been in the same room as our playbook?

Really should be doing yardwork as I'll probably be too busy to get any done tomorrow and the weather's supposed to stink through the weekend after that, but this trainwreck is mesmerizing.

Yeah, he's literally the 2nd worst QB in the league behind Peterman.

I'm not so sure that Barkley has the lead over Peterman.

I thought they signed him before last week. At any rate, all Barkley has to do is go in and throw one or two attempts 20 yards downfield to show the team that it's worth showing up to play the next few weeks. Unless of course this is all a brilliant tank job... except they already drafted a QB high in Allen.

Big Ben just went down with what looks like it could be a bad right shoulder injury. Maybe they’re the team that calls Sam Bradford.

 

EDIT: he’s back in.

I've been very hard on Peterman since, oh idk, Pittsburgh sucks. I'd just like to point out how improved he is. His career interception rate is 11% of all his passes get picked. Today only 8.5% of his passes are getting picked. So great job Nate. Keep up the good work!

I will continue my stance that the handling of the QB situation and the lack of a veteran backup is and continues to be a fire able offense.

Still by far the worst rate
