I don't know that proud is a descriptor I'd use. I like the emphasis on culture, as I don't know of any successful organizations that do so without a good one. I also like that the HC andGM are in synch. Will that translate to success? Time will tell.

Any excuse to be negative.

The logical reason Brandon was put in charge of PSE was because of his ability to put butts in the seats. You answered your own question. Then you belittle making the playoffs and turn that into a negative. Your hatred for the Bills clouds your ability to see anything clearly. And yes I know you don't care what I or others think. Which begs the question: why participate in a board designed for discussion and debate if you wish to do neither?

He doesn't care. Go look back at some posts from him. He thinks Pegula doesn't care about winning and only cares about $$, thinks he's the same as Ralph. Granted we all have have different opinions but opinions should be based in some modicum of fact and logic. He has neither.

Anything to be negative.

We have legal rights, and those legal rights do not include the right to an employer to have to hire you. Cut him. If the legal system clears him he can then catch on either with the Bills or elsewhere.

Fairness under the law. The NFL isn't a court. He has no given right to play football. Cut him

One game. They won. And you spin it negatively and assume that the new HC of the Fish will somehow beat them. Because it gives you a cute little way to spin something negatively. Because it's what you do for whatever bizarre reason.

Badobilz is spinning a victory over the Lions as a negative. And when I and others bring up how ridiculous it is that some here exist only to criticize the team to somehow either boost their ego or try and be cute, we're wrong? And when we do so we're told we should just ignore it? Comical.

I just answered that question. If Allen progresses well we should If not we won't. And don't forget other teams with their young QBs don't play Brady twice a year. That's a roadblock for AFC East teams.

The time to get better is now. The time to WIN as you put it may or may not be now. As much as I like Allen he is still a second year QB with a lot to learn. I anticipate somewhere between 8-8 to 10-6. The O line should be better, the D should be solid. If Allen makes quicker progress the prospects for a playoff season should be bright.

Indy's line didn't switch guys all around though.

Disagree. Closest to Brady is Montana in my eyes. Plus it's fun to debate these things!

A very imaginative idea but it flies in the face of all that is known about O line play.

I have questioned your negativity and your lack of logic. As an example you claim I have blinders on with the current regime, when in this very thread and many other I have talked about things I think they would have done differently such as Sammy, as well as that they will be fired if their plan does not succeed. Your overreaction is somewhat comical; everyone here knows the Bills have work to do. I think the clearest area where I don't see a logical progression of your thought process is your insistence on lumping the Pegula regime with Ralph's, particularly with respect to your insistence that the Pegulas are not interested in having a successful team vs. just making a profit. There is no rationale to this claim. If anything the Pegulas have spent more recklessly , such as hiring and firing coaches. You're skeptical. Great, and understandable. But you use that to twist everything in a negative direction. Have fun wallowing in misery, I guess. Maybe last year had something to do with a rookie QB playing. And the Peterson debacle of course. Beane admitted he did not handle the backup QB thing correctly last year. Should we perhaps flog him in public to meet the desires of some fans?

When you're the GOAT you've earned the right to skip voluntary workouts.

Mahomes, or one of Mayfield/Darnold/Allen will be the first 200 million dollar contract.

I agree. The problem around here are the extremists. A poster above who consistently posts negative stuff accuses me of blindly supporting the front office when in the very same thread I pointed out they should not have traded Watkins. That sort of negativity is a problem. And the ones saying Allen will be MVP or try to justify, say, the Benjamin trade are equally problematic What I like right now is that the HC and GM operate in synch and have both a philosophy of how to build a team plus a plan to do so that they stick to. Does that mean every decision they make will be correct? Of course not. No one is judged a success or failure based on single decisions. Hell, Bill Gates hasn't been perfect and he's done OK for himself. Does it mean they're immune to criticism? Of course not. It just gets tiresome when some go out of their way to manufacture things to B word about. Or celebrate things that haven't happened. if their plan works we'll all celebrate. If not they'll get fired. Simple.

Your feelings get bruised rather easily

I'd have to say Reggie. Both were ridiculous pass rushers of course, but I feel Reggie was better against the run.

I see your point. The third was just ridiculous all the way around. No team should ever be embarrassed like that in a championship game.

It was an amazing run. I'd also be happy to talk to you about the two AFL championships - that was even better!

Shaw, it's like talking to a brick wall. The guy you're arguing with claims Allen can't throw short, then claims he should only throw long. And I am willing to bet if we went back to look at posts after games from last year he criticized Allen for NOT throwing short. There are some here who, for whatever reason, think it's somehow fun to reflexively criticize each and every decision made by the Bills front office and coaching staff. I have no idea why. They have this bizarre, misguided idea that every single decision made by a leader of an organization has to be correct, every single time, or you're a failure. There has never been any organization in the history of mankind that can match that standard, yet some here think it should be so for the BIlls.

Or not. As I said I wish we would have kept him, and we'll see how he does this season. However, your response pretty much summarizes some of the back and forth going on in this thread. It seems you want Sammy to succeed this year because that will give you an opportunity to criticize the current regime. Much like in many of your posts you blast the current ownership for sins committed under Ralph's ownership.

I wish we'd have kept Sammy. That said he's not exactly setting the league on fire since the trade.
