[Buffalo Rumblings: Coaches of the Drought Infographics]

The "All Drought Team" included several players who played in a playoff game with the Bills, we had plenty of players they could have chosen from who never saw the playoffs wearing the charging buffalo

I recently got an air fryer as a gift, haven't used it yet.  Can you taste a big difference or not really?

[I think real Bills fans do not care who wins QB battle]

You can be a real Bills fan and want one person more so then another, but to me a real Bills fan is the person who is rooting for whoever is under center when the regular season starts to succeed

[Bills' GM Beane Bullish on Keeping Training Camp in Rochester]

Don't let my name fool you as I actually moved to NC, but I think they would be foolish to take the camp out of Rochester.  It seemed like no matter what day I would go or no matter how the weather was when I was up there it was always a packed house and the Rochester fan base is as important as any to the Bills. It's three weeks Rochester fans got to enjoy their home team, would hate to see it taken away.

I've only listened a couple of times, but it's like listening to a fan who doesn't know much about football give his takes and the callers are like his more educated in the topic buddies giving much better takes

I don't know if he is going to be great or terrible, but I do know I will be rooting my butt off for him to succeed

you don't.

 

however your Eichel comment was down right strange.

 

I get that a lot from people with Eichel.  I guess I just don't see why all the love for him with how McDavid and Matthews have played.  We were awful last year, with all the hype behind him and the big contract, I would have thought he would have made everyone else around him so much better and we'd be a playoff team by now.  Again, not big on hockey hence the outside perspective.

[How do you tell an outsider the Bills are getting better?]

I am definitely more of a football fan then hockey, and I was talking to a friend of mine about the Sabres and because I root for them but don't know a ton about them, I asked him why was signing Eichel such a great move if they were the worst team in hockey last season.  He got somewhat defensive and started telling me all the moves the Sabres were making to be a great franchise in the future.  He made me more optimistic, especially with this defensemen they are supposed to draft whose name I won't try to spell.

 

So it got me thinking about the Bills, who outsiders will say lucked into the playoffs last year and most aren't high on this year.  What do you tell an outsider about the Bills to make them "Billieve" we are heading in the right direction? I'm sure we all get defensive about our Bills, how do you get others to "trust the process" as well???  

 

I look forward to reading what you guys say

[Make 3 predictions for the 2018 Bills.]

1- McCarron starts all 16 games and plays well enough to keep Allen on the bench 

2- Shady continues being Shady and rushes for 1200 yards

3- We split with the Pats

[Pats Pulpit: Brady is back with the Pats, but things aren’t the same]

I don't want to get my hopes. I'll read the article and think, 7-9 or 8-8 and then they'll go 14-2 and win the Super Bowl

What about the circumstance where the coaching staff feel he is ready to start and gives us the best chance to win? 

that's not what you wrote, you said it's the first year in a long time that going into the season you want them to win as many games as possible (16?, 19?)- I always want them to win as many games as possible.

because the sabres have done so well losing after being eliminated from the playoffs, the bills should do the same thing.

 

I guess then I would have to "trust the process," I just want to know for sure he is mentally ready for the game and we don't "ruin" him

Yeah but a lot of people would argue the way any QB develops is by PLAYING.

 

The whole "develop while watching" thing is kind of a myth in my opinion.

 

 

 

And that may be the case, but based on what others have said, he needs time to develop into an NFL qb, I'd prefer they waited and not kill his confidence with some tough outings.  If the coaching staff believes he is ready, so be it

The moment we are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, I want to see them lose every game.  I've felt the same way every year and no different this year.

 

Every year they are mathematically eliminated I try to root for them to lose but it never works for me and I find myself getting into the game and upset if they lose. 

 

Based on most things I have read and I don't pretend to know how to evaluate QB's other then knowing guys like Aaron Rodgers are good, what I want is to not see Josh Allen on the field under any circumstance.  I want him to be developed "properly" so he can be molded into the franchise QB we all want him to be

IMO, if you are going to do this, you can't have guys who played in playoff games for the bills in the 90's like Moulds and Pat Williams.

 

And maybe not include players who played on last years team as well.  But nice write up, fond memories of many of those players

[Are you a fan of Josh Allen?]

I'm always a Bills fan first, so whoever is wearing the buffalo on his helmet on Sundays is the guy I am rooting for

[Who is your favorite current Bill?]

I really like Jordan Poyar.  I hated the signing but it was only because he was on the Browns.  Loved watching him play last year

[Drafttek Mock]

Would love this!

[LA Darnold Workout Speaks Volumes]

I think 1 may be in play, especially if the Browns like the top 4 guys equally, they would still get guaranteed a guy they like with 2 additional firsts this year, a second and probably a third. In addition probably next years first from us too.
