Buffalo716 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Here me out. Rex was building the bully. In your face, brawn. Beat you up while telling you that you are about to get beat up. My favorite coach asked us before what we want to play like. A lot of people said like a rock. Solid, strong and sturdy. But he said No! I want you to play like water! You see, in the battle of the river and the rock, the river always wins... because it just keeps going. The Bills right now are like water. Just ebbing and flowing waiting to develop their identity. Which will be to never give up. Play 100% until the final whistle. And that DOES win football games Hopefully the bills play like that river Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBean Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 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.

We had an elite defense 3 years ago and were close to being special. We still have that D Line, and shady. Tanking is severely overrated... look how good luck and the colts are.

Ans us everything but a QB and have been "close" in many eyes for 17 years You don't need to tank to get a QB. Rodgers, Brees, Flacco, Big Ben, Dalton, Wilson have all been found outside the top 5.

And no one is Peyton , trying to treat Luck as such is foolish and is why they are under new management. I'd take Luck right know, of course I wouldn't have traded Watkins an would have drafted better Tackles and a legit pass caring TE. Championship.

rant_and_go Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) First thing they did was change the run game, only thing that worked last year.Then they get rid of Gilmore and draft a CB with McD's 1st pick.Then dump Sammy, and have Tyrod play like Big Ben.All they had to do was take Schwartz's defense of pass rush man press, and Roman's offense of Tyrod running and throwing deep. It was given to them, but they junked it.They're stockpiling picks, waiting for Brady and Big Ben to retire. They'll keep stockpiling picks until they get their guy behind center. Then 2 years to groom him and year 3 they get their Julio Jones.No sense of urgency, and only know how to play football one way. The only guarantee is that the Bills have McD for 2 years good or bad.Oh also, McD still hasn't fixed the penalties.

I disagree, I just think we need to switch out current players for drafted players while keeping the nucleus in tact. At QB I see us drafting one next season, Shady is 29 years old so he can be phased out when he can no longer play at a high level. Eric Wood, John Miller could be replaced and Incognito is on the wrong side of 30. I like the duo of Matthews/Jones at WR but we need to draft a deep threat also. All of our LB need to be replaced although I like this Matt Milano kid, he's not athletic but he's very instinctive so we'll see what we have there. If we can get that QB we should fix the OL ASAP so the new QB doesn't get killed but were not far off.
