I don't think Brady and Jordan should be mentioned in the same category. Jordan won 6 championships in 6 years playing. He was the top of the game for those 6 years. Brady only had about 3 years where he was the top of the game and one of those years his team (18-0 year) they lost the championship. Brady might have been the best player on the team for most of those years but definitely not the best player in the league.
Laughable.
Jordan was done by 34.
Brady is 41.
In a sport with 10 other teammates he has dominated for nearly 20 years.
1/2 of the time he ends up in the Championship Game, 1/3 of the time he wins, 3/4 he’s playing for his conference title.
And his Playoff resume dwarfs everyone at all other positions.

I have all the respect in the world for Jim, but he needs to let it go. There are coaches telling Allen what to do. Kelly is not on the coaching staff and should keep his mouth shut. This is not the Jim Kelly show. I appreciate the enthusiasm coming from him and it's probably a good idea they meet and chat about Buffalo, handling the media, etc., but Jim needs to know his place. It seems like his arrogance gets in the way of him knowing where to draw the line.
I agree.
We need to stop pretending it’s 1991 still.
The old legends constantly hover around waiting for their yearly nostalgia halftime dedication.

lots of anger in this thread.
Because the Bills have been selling hope since Tom Donahoe was hired.
Culture, continuity, promote from within, analytics, cash to cap, build the bully, study the tape, we’ve heard all the phrases.
When do we get good?
-
Continuity was a big buzz word at OBD in Ralph Wilson’s waning days and through Doug Whaley.
Let’s see if it matters in 2019.
Let’s see some results Terry, Brandon and Sean.

Tuhrod was HORRIBLE prior to that. It was a swing and a miss, it happens.
Not when Coach doubles down and starts Nate Peterman again to disasterous results yet again.

I have been saying this for some time..
Some team is going to pay Mills in March..
People thinking he is going to remain here for backup money are delusional..
Seantrel Henderson just re-upped at $4.5M for the Texans, and his glass body allows him to play about 3 games a year
At least Mills never gets hurt..
The Bills haven’t been able to replace Mills for three years. I agree with your post.

You are completely wrong if you think every player isn't on their board and isn't ranked appropriately according to talent. Just because you have a starter at a position doesn't mean you don't want to know what is available. The player could be an upgrade, backup/handcuff, an heir apparent/cost control, or even trade bait (either in the draft or later).
This is where I think fans and GMs differ. Fans are thinking about right now...coaches are too, most of the time. But GMs are trying to build a sustainable roster. They have three years from now in mind just as much as today. Position should really only ever come into play in "all else being equal" type scenarios, period.
If the Bills GMs have been so strategic over the years, then who do none of them have any Playoff success outside of Polian?
Fans literally have drafted better than the Bills over the years.

Was Josh Allen the best player available when the Bills moved up to get him ? You could argue yes - so they moved up to get the best player not because it was a need- although it was.
Even though the Bills traded their 1st Round pick in 2017 for the Chiefs 27th pick and 2018 1st Rounder. Then they traded Glenn to position themselves.
So he can claim the board just lined up, but the Bills were taking a QB according to a plan for over a year.

Donte Whitner @ 8 (1 pick after the top safety had come off the board) = drafting for need
Even though Haloti Ngata was on the board, the 2005 Bills finished 31st against the run after letting Pat Williams go, and they could already see Tim Anderson 3rd Round 2005 was a bust.
-
So what is the point here?
To pitch to everyone that Allen is going to work? That he will be our Playoff winning QB?
Or is to make the statement that he was good in 2018?
-
The Seahawks got really good when they strung together three really good drafts in a row from 2010 to 2012.
This is where they got thd the bulk of their difference makers - Okung, Thomas, Tate, Chancellor, KJ Wright, Richard Sherman, Wilson, Wagner, Irvin.
The key is drafting good NFL players. Largely from the start of The Drought on, the Bills have Draft classes that yield one or two average starters.

I turn on WGR at 7:15 am and Jeremy White is complaining about the OT coin toss.
Get over it.

I'll go back to Wade
Wade - 2000 week 15 vs the Colts when the Bills were still in the playoff race and Wade said "we're out of it", basically gave up.
Gregg - I knew this guy was a blowhard even before he started his first game, when at his opening press conference, he told us that "this team can win the SB" and then proceeded to go 3-13. Something about him didn't pass the smell test even BEFORE the season started.
Mularkey - Week 17 in 2004. With the playoffs on the line, Mularkey loses to the Steelers scrubs in the last game of the season.
Jauron- week 11 in 2007. The Pats destroyed the Bills and kept going for 2 after every TD, just to be Aholes. They also left Brady in the game up by 30 pts. Jauron instead of getting angry and ordering the Bills to man up, just stared into space, totally clueless and turtled for BB. I don't think I have ever been so angry as a Bills fan.
Chan - Week 17 2011. The Bills get destroyed by the Pats at Gillette again. Chan finishes his 2nd losing season.
St.Doug - I didn't really get rubbed the wrong way by Marrone until maybe the Raiders game in Marrone's 2nd season. Still he left before I really got a chance to want him gone.
Rex - Week 12 vs KC in 2015, Rex took bad advice from his on field preacher man to throw/ not throw the challenge flag. Just clueless.
The Jury is still out on McD but the Chargers INT fest and starting Peterman may be the watershed moment.
That’s a comprehensive list man, great memory and well done.
I’m ready to finally win something.
-
Bulldog has picked up right where Howard Simon left off.
Crying about rules changes.
It’s psychotic, we spend 45 minutes a game in the booth watching reviews as it is right now. Let’s add 15 more minutes arguing whether holding occurred, and institute an OT system where you score a Touchdown and you still don’t win.
Bills fans should stop crying because their team has been irrelevant for 27 years.
-
WGR is whining a lot today about this.
I don’t want to see a change unless it’s a full 15 minute standard play extra session.
Otherwise Chiefs, hold the Pats to a FG and you have a chance. Too bad.

Didnt inherit. He created 50 mil in dead cap
Agree, that’s Bills PR trying to buy patience with McDermott/Beane by making it seem that 15-17 is a miracle.
You always have to lower the bar in Buffalo.
Not anymore, they have their culture, their QB, the money. Get results Bills.

I don’t have a problem with OT.
It use to be sudden death, they made it so you had to score a TD, that’s fine.
The Chiefs couldn’t stop them from scoring a TD.

The Bills PR department isn't spinning anything. It's fans who trust what they saw with their own eyes. A least for me my optimism is based on the outstanding progress made by Allen over the course of the season, the Bills solid foundation of a defense and a whole lot of CAP money.
We’ll see. For some fans 8-8 will be enough improvement, whereas I would like to see 10-6 and a solid Playoff birth.

You’re right, this post is total PR hype...for the wrong Josh crowd. In the meantime I’ll take the sour taste in my mouth that the Miami season ending game left me with, and wonder whatever shall we do at the QB spot since Allen is obviously such a bust. ?
Please. If you can’t really see what your eyeballs are telling you, that this kid is legit, then what exactly were you looking at? The Cardinals all year?
We were 6-10 this year, Josh was 5-6 overall, 0-3 against Playoff teams. So we can pump the brakes.
I’m as hungry as anyone for the Bills to get some players and for Allen to get better, he did display game changing athleticism, but in the end Bills PR and fans are trying to spin a losing season as great things to come. We’ve been doing that since Trent Edwards.

A specific Gailey game was 2011, Bills against Bengals. Coming off a 3-0 start the Bills went to Cincinnati with a chance to go 4-0 for the first time since 2008.
They led 17-0 or something to that at the end of the first half. Then then relaxed in the second half and the Bengals came back and won.
I remember the postgame where Bills players said that the Bengals had “folded” every other time the Bills played them, so they expected that again.
I hated that game because it showed the Bills were no different. That 3-0 start and beating the Patriots was the peak. Sure enough the decline happened quickly after the Bills blew that game in New York later that season.
The Dolphins game later that year where they lost 37-8 or something in which the media said that Bills players were having their helmets blown off their heads comes to mind.
Mentally weak.
Fitzpatrick commented after the year that the Bills didn’t handle success well. At 5-2 they thought they had arrived.

With Jauron it had to be the roll-out pass they tried on 4th-1 against the Jets with JP Losman trying to throw a pass to a rarely used Fullback that got sacked, stripped, and returned by Shaun Ellis.

In 2013 Doug Marrone punted from the Pittsburgh 36 yard line on 4th-2 down by two scores in the 4th Quarter with a 3-6 record and defended it in the postgame by citing field position.

Could anyone really have done much better than he did with what he was given (or not given) around him, especially as a rookie?
This is right out of the Bills PR-Playbook.
Don’t have any results to sell, so you start selling hype.
Somehow I think they’ll just omit any “highlights” from Green Bay and New England.

...not sure if I remember correctly, but weren't both Spiller and Roscoe dubbed as "luxury picks", with neither really having defined roles after drafted?.....probably wrong...
The whole situation was flawed from a logic sense. The Bills had Marshawn Lynch.
and Fred Jackson, but maintened that Spiller would be utilized as well.
Chan Gailey called for a “water bug” RB and then when he got one at #9 overall, there was no plan to actually use that player.

The future of the AFC is KC, Cleveland... and Buffalo!

The Bills?
Based on nothing but blind hope.
The team with the longest Super Bowl odds for next year will have something to say about the AFC?
