This is a Buffalo bills football message board not a fake sports entertainmentnmessage board. And as for your question do I believe that there could be some shenanigans and some impropriety? Of course there can be Tim Donahy of the NBA is proof of that.   Scripted? The magnitude of cooperation that has to happen to script just one NFL game much less an entire season or seasons is so impossible and the reason I don't think it can happen more than anything is money. With the amount of money that is exchanging hands through gambling through tickets through television, merchandise, if it ever came out that all of it is a mirage a scripted mirage, there would be an Armageddon of lawsuits and murders. And all it takes is one rat involved in the scripting for it all to crumble. There would have to be 100% silence of everyone involved. That doesn't even happen in government cover-ups, there's always a mole, there's always a whistleblower. If the whole thing was scripted, by now somebody would have blown the whistle.  

Yes, the Buffalo Bills, but who also happen to be a part of this sports entertainment league. Scripted? I don't know if it's scripted. Arian Foster said it was, but you're right, that would be a lot of work. However, you may have missed this, but the NFL has defined itself in court as a Sports Entertainment Business. Fan of the Jets, tried to sue the Patriots and the NFL over spygate. "But we aren't sports, we're sports entertainment" The courts found in favor of the NFL. Fans are entitled to a ticket to a game, and nothing else. What this means is, anything goes.

• In a real game, if the QB is not listening to his coaches, continues to throw to covered receivers and keeps turning the ball over, he's coming out.
• How does a referee not see the defender pull on the receivers jersey, and not throw a flag when it's right in front of him?
• Why is a team that is leading by one score late in a game, throwing the ball and stopping the clock, giving the opposition one last chance to march down the field and either win, or force the game into overtime?
• Why is a head coach, with 13 seconds left, kicking the ball out of the end zone instead of a squib kick?
• Why is he rushing 4, and everybody else is 15 yards back, when they are supposed to be trying to prevent a field goal, not a TD?

I could probably go on, but I do have to get to work. Instead of being pissed off at people like me for basically telling you there is no Santa Claus, maybe what you  should do is the next time you watch a game, really watch that game. Question the coaching decisions, the players and the refs. The reason it is the way it is, is all because of HUGE amounts of money. They aren't leaving it up to chance.

And one more thing, I don't like it. I don't like being lied to. And we are being lied to. But that's okay, you can be mad at me.

Josh is what he is. A big, dumb and stupid dog. He’s never going to change. Some games  he will shit the bed but other times he will be spectacular. Enjoy the ride. At least it's entertaining. 

 

We finished 13-3 last year.   And we were 13-3 in 2020.

I will take Josh and those results any day over Taylor Heinicke or Gardner Minshew or Baker Mayfield.

Joe Marino is excellent. He reviewed the all 22…and he said the game was waaay worst than it seemed. Allen had dudes wide open all day…schemed by Dorsey….but Allen chose to ignore those options. Fucking damning. Fucking damning! 
 

 

Wait, then wouldn't that be the game was way better than it seemed, other than Josh Allen's performance?  As I noted elsewhere, after wading through about a dozen posts in the blame game thread Monday night, yours was the first I noted to name the main culprit.  It was also the most easily reversed compared to the others, though you might be saddened to realized that.

Now in all sincerity, I am grateful for you pointing out how much of this OCKD hatred comes from a place of ignorance(as does most hatred, or so they say).  Maybe other replies have said similar but unlike usual I am saying my bit without reading anything else and tipping my cap to you for rewarding my initial support of your analysis.
