See this whole thing started due to the fact that I said that I thought Flacco would be an average QB and ride a strong running game and defence and have the Broncos in the playoff hunt.

That ultimately didn’t happen for the Broncos, however Flacco proving to be below average instead of average paled in comparison to the disappointing ground game and the defence caving in at the worst times.

The Bills however, were able to field a top 3-5 defence, have an emerging star at the RB position and Josh Allen is making enough plays with his arm and his legs.

The Broncos prediction was off, but the Bills are living proof that you don’t need top tier QB play if you have a strong defence and play to the strengths of that defence with a balanced offensive attack.

Either way pegs- dont let these turds bring you down

Bill's fans are pretty pumped right now. Especially long time fans. Allen is really fun to root for.

I think you were pretty excited by the acquisition of Joseph flacco. Thus the nickname

1) pretty sure u said Flacco was “good”

2) it’s still not the ideal way to go, especially in a pass first league

3) your defense has to be generationally good to win a Super Bowl with average QB play- the Broncos (nor the Bills) defenses are there

I agree, but you should also be able to admit when you're wrong.

I would but I was the first one to say you know I'm not liking Skinner's game and the numbers bear me out but damn I caught Hell for that LOL

I was one of the few to stick by Risto because he was being overplayed and...?

I said I was wrong about Bennett and that is what 5 years ago?

I don't have the amore for Reinhart that many Sabres fans, either. So what?

My stance is that their top three forwards are not good enough to lead deep in the playoffs until that happens I'm not wrong.

Few people collapse here and state they were wrong on anything, so what makes me that different except I have different views, many that have been right. It is fun to troll the popular opinion, mostly in good fun. I know this post will piss off some thin skinned posters and that is sort of the fun.

I deal with high net worth clients every day at work as an investment services rep. The poop people say about me on here is the least of my worries and concerns. I find it highly amusing actually.

I didn't mean you specifically. Saying "one has to admit when one is wrong", though correct, sounds pretentious as hell.

Foresight is frowned upon, things actually have to happen and be factual with evidence to support it before being able to comment. It’s not ok to have a hunch or speculate.

Hey, remember when you said the '15 Broncos defense was better than the Pats? The Pats are on pace to allow 90 fewer points. Also yards, The Broncos allowed 283 a game, the Pats are allowing 268. For that matter the Bills are on pace to allow 43 fewer points, and 9 more yards per game.

I like the attention to detail of knowing the Steelers' hype song, and using it during their preparation for the game in a loud and "hostile" environment. They came right out and silenced the crowd, Styx it Steelers
Go Bills!
Damm, go beat NE now. Unreal that a win would only be their fifth out of the last 40 meetings. Time to finally slay the dragon.

I mean they won a super bowl with 188 yards of offence and locked down the #1 offence in the NFL in the Panthers at the time. Brock Osweiler went 5-1 that year and they looked up a #1 seed. They beat Aaron Rodgers and held him to 95 yards passing, they beat Brady twice.

“It was No. 1 in total defense (283.1 yards), No. 1 in pass defense (199.6), No. 1 in sacks (52), No. 3 against the run (83.6), No. 4 in scoring (18.5) and No. 3 in defensive touchdowns (5). Those numbers alone would put the Broncos in the top 10 of all-time defenses, but it can be argued they could be as high as No. 8 when you consider Denver's offense committed 31 turnovers and the turnover ratio was minus-4.”

To be honest with you though, the Pats do remind me of that 2015 team, a QB who is clearly over the hill, an offence that can hardly get out of its own way, and a defence that scores and takes the ball away and suffocates opponents.

I don’t think you realize how bad the Broncos offence was that year. The 2015 Broncos not only had to shut down elite offences, it had to score too.

Manning went 7-2 that year while having a 58% completion rate and throwing 9 TD’s and 17 interceptions.........

I appreciate your passion but damn you need to stop flexing. Sitting in a comfortable room around wealthy people and you find a way to make it sound like verbal abuse session.

take a seat dawg, let Fitz pour you a LI and realize your just a fan.

Its fun to banter on here, talk poop to Beady when he isnt banned and enjoy the season.

Being a very very important business executive doesn't allow some to really have a place in conversation

I see we have a room of extremely busy executives here. Unfortunately, I do not have the time nor the desire to speak with any of you.
