mead107 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 The Bills right now are a 5-11 football team, especially with he schedule they have. Even if they keep the rest of their players, you know half of them end up not playing due to injuries. They need to trade down and get as many picks as possible and all of them contribute to even have a chance at 8-8. Exciting.19-0 Baby (for the Senator) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Jerky Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 All this means is you have no faith in the draft. I understand your frustrations but it is too early to think that. +1 But I did recently read we were 'PLAYOFF CALIBER'! I admit I was not wearing my bifocals at the time though. ('PLAYOFF CALIBRE" for our Canadian fans) The Bills had the shirts on it must be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8-8 Forever? Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 when you start the season a guaranteed 0-2 in both the division and the conference, with no shot at the division title, yeah, you have no chance... as long as the GOATs are in NE, that's about all she wrote....

NoSaint Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 So you dont feel that McDermott was a good hire? Lots of respect flowing his way from multiple NFL directions 3-4 wins no matter who we lose is more than just a good hire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Some are glass half full, some are glass half empty. Great players leave teams every year, good teams adapt and replace. You my friend are outside drinking from the garden hose. Some are glass half full, some are glass half empty and some are poke a hole in bottom since liquid will never stay in glass, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manther Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 No Rex Ryan equals 3 or 4 more wins, imo, no matter who they lostAgreed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Not exactly a core group keeping the team from total collapse. My guess is that you won't even remember they were on the team. True. This thread is nuts., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manther Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Except for the fact the Sean McDermott's defense finished below Rex's last year in yards AND points. Leslie Frazier who will be calling the plays recently had TWO different football teams floating around bottom 3 for defense. Rex has NEVER had defenses as bad as Frazier's last two stops. Anthony Lynn was calling plays on offense but he got a head coaching job and our new offensive coordinator was the third choice on McD's list after his first two choices turned him down. Did you watch the Bills coached Rex D the last two years? Sometimes stats don't tell the story!! That was worse than most Defenses I have ever seen! Seriously.....that was worse than Wanny's or any Bills D I have ever seen! I don't see it that way at all. Gilmore is a clown who is good when he wants to be, he spent have of last season not trying. Of the tree, Woods is the biggest loss, he was a professional and gave his all in all areas but was underutilized. He will be replaced in the draft. Brown had a good season but his replacement is on the roster already. Agreed Bills opened at 80/1 to win the Superbowl. Current odds are now 100/1. Only 4 NFL teams are rated lower. http://www.thespread.com/odds-managernfl-football-futures Browns, 49ers, Jets, Rams Oh, Vegas and media still don't like the Bills.

Samwell Tarly Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) I like to at least wait until the first regular season loss before I begin looking for a bridge to jump off.. Edited April 5, 2017 by Jigsaw2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcoam Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I see the OP-ED's reasoning, a little Actually I don't think losing Zack, Woods, & Gilmore is the reason in itself we may only win 5 games in 2017 Its the fact that we didn't bring anyone in to replace them Aside from Ragland being a freebie 2nd high draft pick and an hopefully a full season from Shag And that we have no coherent plan to be compensated in 2018 for losing Gilmore and Woods It does seem we have way less on field talent going into the 2017 draft I'm not sure how that's gonna translate into wins unless you have blind faith in HC Sean's/Frazier's D scheme is the cure-all Our back 7 seems to be in major transition We didn't make a single move to improve our 2017 O talent, Dimarco aside, its worse, different WR depth notwithstanding All things do unfort point to yet another unsuccessful season jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF (i know its big i capitalized it) Sammy stays healthy then how did we get worse on offense (new system maybe?)? The offense stalled at times but it did put up enough points. I'm very conflicted on defense. Rex was bad but it does look like we lost more talent (particularly the secondary), but McD doesn't seem to need great secondary outside of safety. LB will be interesting but i do expect the front 4 to have more production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 No Watkins, Dareus, Lawson and Ragland injuries/suspensions (HOPEFULLY!) before they even take a snap. We were EXTREMELY injured last year. Dareus/ Watkins missed 16 games combined last year!! That is a massive loss.. Lawson missed 8 , as a rookie , Ragland 16.. Both have serious potential to be impact players in the NFL. So I couldn't disagree with you more that losing Gilly, Woods and Brown equates to this team having no chance.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarleyNY Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I think we need a rebuild with two drafts. So one crap year on the field (which will happen anyway) then start to push for 8-8 or 9-7 next year. But if we refuse to rebuild this will take far longer. Definitely agree. Finding that elusive FQB would sure go a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
