26CornerBlitz Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 @AroundTheNFL .@MarcSesslerNFL outlines reasons for hope for every 0-2 squad http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000706569/article/browns-wrs-colts-qb-why-each-02-team-can-hope Buffalo BillsIf the Bills already feel like an unfurling tire fire, keep in mind that Buffalo's defense is massively shorthanded. Imagine what this unit could be next season, when first-round pass-rusher Shaq Lawson is paired with pile-driving inside linebacker Reggie Ragland. Neither rookie is on the field today thanks to injuries, while phenomenal veteran tackle Marcell Dareus is currently in exile serving a four-game suspension. Whether Rex Ryan survives the season is anyone's guess, but whoever coaches this unit next season will get all three of these players back, along with an entirely new draft class.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 There's always next year! Didn't sound like any hope for '16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Wow, even I must concede that Dareus could be shipped off, Ragland's knee could mean he'll never be the same, and Lawson could be a great talent who is a walking infirmary. There are no guarantees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Didn't sound like any hope for '16. Which is what anyone with a pair of eyes and functioning medulla oblongata could have spotted pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no guarantees. The only guarantee is that we will find a way to suck. Some excuse, injury, coaching problem, bad draft, free agent that doesn't pan out, etc... 2 games in and we are talking about next year. How ****ty is that?

BuffaloBaumer Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 And who gets injured next year, our 1st round qb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 And who gets injured next year, our 1st round qb?Him, or our first round corner to replace Gilmore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wiz Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Him, or our first round corner to replace Gilmore. More likely a re-signed Gilmore that will be out for the season on some ludicrous contract. And then forced to play John Q. Public at CB all season since our depth is comparable to a puddle.

YoloinOhio Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 @rand_getlin Keep the faith! Since 2002, nearly 60% of all teams that made the playoffs, started the season 1-1 or 0-2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Ragland may never be the same? Same as what? The "throwback" that fits into zero working NFL schemes? Never agreed with this sentiment, the guy was fantastic at bama. Probably like a smaller, quicker donta Hightower. Wow, even I must concede that Dareus could be shipped off, Ragland's knee could mean he'll never be the same, and Lawson could be a great talent who is a walking infirmary. There are no guarantees. I don't think we can ship dareus off for a bit. It'd cost more than keeping him, should u consider it. As for the other guys, I guess? It's the attitude of someone who truly believes were cursed.
