Milano and Vallejo. Zach was a quitter btw. Bills have depth as much as anyone or better. You live in the past on this one. Look now! Even Jordan Mills has competition .

Aaron Williams at full health would have been nice, but I'm good with Hyde as his replacement. You have to hope that Poyer and Seymour will be suitable replacements for Graham and NRC. Agreed

Yeah, they were both so awesome they were unemployed. I bet you popped some champagne when Whaley signed them. Edited August 1, 2017 by PromoTheRobot

Delete This Account Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 For what it's worth, folks. Upbeat as the public comments are, there are expectations internally that the Bills will need time and patience to catch up and jell. Should that start off hot, great. Should they not, there is no expectation of hitting any panic buttons. jw

I think the most telling attitude is that they traded back to get the KC pick. I don't think you do that if you are 100% sure on Tyrod. They also didn't go gangbusters on high prices FA's. If they can come on strong late, I'll be happy.

Far better than Rex (and even Marrone) with boastful predictions about changing culture and winning the offseason. I really don't expect a slow start. 40 days until the opener and they already seem more prepared.

The reason I don't see a slow start is that their opening 6 games are the best part of the schedule to me. Atlanta is the one game in there I give us less than a 50/50 chance in. I make us favourites to beat the Jets, Broncos, Bengals and a toss up against the Panthers and the Buccs.
