Success

Beane knows what he’s doing. He has the potential to be a top GM in the league, imo.

I tend to feel the same way - but the reaction on twitter and elsewhere yesterday was cartoonishly over the top. I’m well used to the fair share of abuse we get as Bills fans, but was genuinely floored by how extreme it was yesterday. I’ll definitely think about it and smile as we win the division and hoist the Lombardi.

They keep getting older.

Well, that’s a disappointing way to wake up. At least it gave twitter a night of fun at Buffalos’ expense. Unless all of the fools taking shots at us were Pats fans, not sure what they were beating their chests about. We’ll still be awesome. Many words will be consumed.

Why is it a downgrade for life? I do hate the way this region gets slammed. Western NY is awesome.

Who leaks something like this before they want it leaked?

I must say - the abuse on twitter for Buffalo is a bit upsetting.

Bad reporting if this turns out to be false.

I feel the same way when a real journalist goes to ESPN.

I love the anti-Buffalo/is this a punishment chatter. Like bad teams stay bad. The mighty Pats were once the Patsies, and earned every bit of that derogatory reference. Our time is here. The winds of change are blowing strong - we have a great young QB and the league’s best receiver. Good times ahead...

This made me a bit giddy.

Exactly this. But he won us back over.

Rosen could still turn out to be an excellent QB. He looked great at times last year. But I will always be glad we went with Allen. Such a great attitude.

I really don’t like the New England Patriots.

We’ll have to disagree. I love what Foster brings and I’m glad he’s a Bill, but Jones is much more versatile. Jones has some real skills. I think he’s fairly underrated in this board - he was really developing chemistry with Allen, and I see that tandem being important to our success in the years ahead.

Zay Jones is our best receiver right now. I’m pretty sure he’ll be in the team. Ideally, he’ll be our slot guy.

To me, this was as lucky a run as the Pats had during their reign. They won against KC because of an Offside, and wouldn’t have been close if Hunt was playing. Then, the Rams get a gifted win in the NFCCG, taking out the one team that wouldn’t have been overwhelmed by the big lights of the SB. And their one chance to win that game is injured. This season was such a drag.

I try not to judge the fandom of others, or set rules for it. If you love the Bills, the next round’s on me.

Won’t be the place to get a ring anymore.

Oh, man. I just saw interviews with a group of Pats fans about this. Total cartoons. We’re WINNAHS, that’s why they’re comin’ after us! #7 next yeah! So glad I’m a Bills fan.

They can have 20 extra picks - the reason they win is BB and Brady. Their drafting is unspectacular overall. They get coachable players but few stars. So many pieces on that team are interchangeable. - BB the coach makes BB the GM look a lot better.

Pats fans on twitter already have an endless stream of “prostitution is no big deal” comments. Some have even promised that this will bring them a 7th ring, since the team will be so “mad.” I don’t celebrate the misfortunes of others, but something about this feels karmic. This is the kind of story that changes the direction of a franchise.

I feel like fans who keep repeating those stats didn’t watch the actual games. I wasn’t happy about the pick, but love what I saw out if him - especially in that final stretch of games. He clearly has that “it” factor, and skills-wise, his ceiling is off the charts. As things stand, I think he’ll be the 2nd best QB to come out of this great class. Could take the top spot, though.

Both the Bills and Jets will be much better this year. Those 4 games play a big part in this ranking.

EJ Manuel was not an accurate passer. I don’t see that in Allen. The stats are such a small part of the story with him. His throws don’t have that wild quality. Give him just a little more time and I doubt we’ll still be talking about accuracy as any kind of problem.
