could you perhaps find another venue for your vitriol?
do wish us all to switch to your viewpoint so badly?
I look forward to tons of stuff. Football season is one of them. Bills are the Team I follow.
Yes.
Please convince me how a 7-9 season is a good thing.
I'll wait..
-
Me too.
On many levels 716
have you ever smoked crack?
Just for perspective for myself.
How about WE just wait and see what happens
We've waited 17 years. Finishing between 5-8 wins is catastrophic to this organization. Simple. Easy. Don't know why it's so hard to understand.

Stop with the tank bulls^&t.. no one wants to hear it on this thread, for crissakes, the tank has been covered.. myself, maybe a few more on here, are approaching the season with a positive attitude.. so what if the season falls apart.. so be it.. not the point , tank .. go for it.. but im not into it.. but as always JMHO ..
Fine. Let's go 7-9 see what happens.

Tanks don't work.
3 out of 10 times.
I've been in and around the game my whole life. You don't win by getting rid of your best talent or by tanking.
You stockpile talent and picks which we already have. We couldn't even go 2-14 when we had no talent . Sorry but it isn't happening. We have enough ammo to zero in and grab our guy top 10.
Darnold, Rosen and Allen ALL don't have to declare. I bet 2 won't
Tennessee and Tampa Bay fans say hello.

You're clearly not a buffalonian
What did I say that offended you McBean? That the Bills are important to Buffalo
The Bills are important to Buffalo...but we have to set realistic expectations.
We have to go 2-14. No other way around it.

Just hope Peterman shines..

Put the crack pipe down...

Is #12 still up and running?
Wake me up when he's retired.
-
A better analogy is McBean is the bulldozer and the Bills are the old house. Instead of bulldozing half the house, they need to bulldoze it all and light a match to the remaining wood.
Stop bs'ing around and go for 1-15.

Well for this year it is only to evaluate players.
Essentially a one long Preseason to see who fits long term.
Best case scenario long term for the Bills is to have the 1st pick in the draft and have them get the QB they want with all the other assets to fill holes.
Worst case is to not be in a position and have to use all the assets to get the 2nd or 3rd choce at QB and spin it that he was the top on your board.
Well said.

Practice time McBeane head. It's an important aspect of what football players do, especially when trying to get acclimated to a new team.
Only thing counts is when the lights come on week 1.
Just don't go running when Watkins is hurt week 8 and Darby is getting torched by Dez Bryant and OBJ.
Meanwhile, due to MCBEAN, we will have positioned ourselves to put a consistent winner on the field for years to come by getting rid of those 2 OVERRATED players.
-
The only traded players to miss any time thus far have been Matthews and Gaines.
Greenhorn lovin' McBeane heads. 
Miss time?
It's not even week 1 yet chief.
-
I can't wait to bump the Watkins and Darby threads at the end of the year. It's going to be epic.
-
My issue was with regard to Watkins you McBeane head!
And then I'll bump the Watkins trade thread too in week 16 this season...if he makes it through.
-
Stills is abusing Darby thus far in this game.
Yet you were complaining we traded him a week ago wanting Beane fired.
Sssh.
-
Dolphins are the least of my worries.
Winning 5-8 games are far more worrisome.
-
7-9 would be awful. Absolutely awful.
-
If we keep middling it eclipse.
If we tank out and grab a franchise guy then playoffs.
-
It's highly unlikely but I'll bite.
Draft and invest heavy into OL.

There's genuinely a lot to be optimistic about with the new regime in place. The organization has made a good deal of impact moves and I agree with all but one, and that one may still pay off in the end.
There were three major moves that happened during the offseason that I was all over:
1. The signing of Sean McDermottt as the Bills head coach after the departure of Rex Ryan.
2. The drafting of Nathan Peterman.
3. The drafting of a potential No.1 receiver to replace Sammy Watkins with.
The Bills look pretty horrid this preseason with all the penalties mounting game after game, but I chalk that up to not having the undisciplined play established while under Rex Ryan being flushed out of the system of the players completely yet. It's only been two games but it takes time for a team with bad habits to take up a new coach's identity and morph into the team that he envisions.
With Sean McDermott and this new coaching staff, it's only a matter of time before the culture change is complete, the team begins adapting to the new style of play, and positive results begin to show.
Nathan Peterman.
With all the talk about QB's this offseason it was a delight to see a guy you coveted actually get selected in the draft.
With the way things ended in Buffalo this past season, there was a bunch of uncertainty at the QB position.
Had we seen the last of Tyrod Taylor?
Was Cardale Jones the guy?
Which QB should the Bills draft in 2017?
Of course as things played out, Tyrod returned, Cardale Jones was traded to the L.A. Chargers and former Bills coach Anthony Lynn, and Nathan Peterman was selected in the 5th rd.
Some fans fear that Cardale Jones will blossom under different coaching and a cannon arm with potential, would have walked away for next to nothing in return.
Time will tell what Cardale Jones really has to offer as a QB, but I don't share those same fears, because as I stated before the NFL Combine process, Senior Bowl Weekend, and the NFL Draft, Nathan Peterman is already the better QB between himself and Jones if Cardale hasn't made many any strides from the previous season. I even went on to state that Peterman has qualities, as a rookie, that surpass that of Tyrod Taylor right now.
He was the QB I preferred if the Bills passed on Mitch Trubisky, DeShaun Watson, and DeShone Kizer in the 1st rd., preferring him over Patrick Mahomes III, who the Bills ironically helped the Chiefs land by trading out of its original draft spot.
I must admit Mahomes has looked good in the preseason, but so has Peterman's accuracy, pocket awareness, decision-making, and poise as a rookie. I bet people's eyes are being opened now to what Peterman brings to the table.
The Sammy Watkins trade was a shocker, but it was a move that I understood completely.
Regardless of how Watkins' career pans out with the Los Angeles Rams, the decision was solid.
For a long time I thought the Bills needed to bring in a wide receiver who would not just complement Watkins, but could outright replace him as the team's No. 1 receiver and I think the Bills finally have that in Zay Jones. Not as heralded out of college as Watkins was out of Clemson, but I think his ability along with his intangibles will prove him to be the receiver fans hoped Watkins would be when drafted No. 4 in 2014. The injuries, made the trade make sense, the potential contract situation given his history of injuries made it make sense, and the fact that I always felt the Watkins was a slightly overrated impact player for the Bills made the trade make sense...at least to me.
The only move I'm somewhat skeptical about is the trade of Ronald Darby to the Philly, and man was my Skept-O-Meter going crazy after he intercepted Tyrod Taylor and nearly returned it for a TD. Luckily E.J. Gaines, the DB who was nabbed along with an extra 3rd rounder returned the favor later in the game. So I'm a little more hopeful that McDermott and the Bills coaching staff know something about E.J. Gaines that most Bills fans' probably don't.
All in all, a very good off-season.
The addition of Sean McDermott, Nathan Peterman, Zay Jones, stud rookies from last season returning healthy, solid trades/FA signings, and a slew of additional 2018 draft picks, things are finally looking up for the Bills
This time, for real.
No better time to reverse the Bills fortune than by winning this upcoming 2017 season. Go Bills!
Great post. The future is bright here.
I would love to see Peterman every game this season because if he is the real deal, watch out with all the picks we have.
I'm glad we finally have a PLAN in place.

I know where you're coming from but here's the problem:
1) Jets
2) San Francisco
3) Cleveland
4) Jacksonville
You have to be ahead of at least two of those teams in the draft order in order to ensure securing a franchise QB prospect. If you wait until mid-season it's already too late, and all the draft capital would need to be spent, if they're willing to accept the trade of picks at all. Tank.
That's what people don't understand.
A lot of teams are in the QB market. If we win meaningless games, we will miss the cream of the crop.

Let's do it the right way once and for all.

Is Percy Harvin available?
I lol'd.
Thanks.

Sacrifice this year to rebuild next year. How many times have we seen this movie?
We've actually never done it.
That's why we are in this mess in the first place.
