BADOLBILZ Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) That is the closest comparison in recent Bills' history with a regime having carte blanche from ownership. Donahoe was a talent collector of the highest magnitude though. He cleaned house but then immediately started filling the bowl with his own turds. Either way.......the total tear downs of Greggo and Jauron were unnecessary. As I have pointed out numerous times......all the consistent winners of recent times rose from mediocrity and almost all made use of the previous regimes recently drafted young talent.

MAJBobby Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Who is ready for the Jets to claim Williams tomorrow. Start him Sunday and watch him go for 125 and a couple TDs. How Billsy would that be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of them had Ralph for an owner, with his guys still running the team after he left. A truly unique and most heinous situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) Yeah Allen looked bad. I know he's got poor talent around him but the decision making is an issue. Throwing a ball 20 feet out of bounds 50 yards downfield when you have a guy open underneath? Yep. Decision making and accuracy both were off even when you cut him some slack for the bad drops by his supporting cast.

Ralph or the Pegula's, you mean. Frying pan to fire in terms of ability to field a winner.........granted, Ralph only had 1 team.......but it took Ralph a couple decades to finish DFL as often as the Pegula's have. Our best hope are the Pegula kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) Waiting and seeing is better than dismissing them months into their tenure.Maybe. But it's a message board. Its reason for existence is for spewing opinions. It's like the idea of "Innocent before proven guilty." Everyone believes that should be the case. But only in courts. You can and do make and say opinions on whether people are innocent or guilty before a verdict if you are not part of the court process. Especially on a platform like a message board.

Bill_with_it Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I'm confused over what we were wrong about. I cried a little about the cut. Really like the kid. I'm really happy he cleared and signed up on the PS. Not sure what to apologize for. Wasnt he the one with a fast track to canton, going to dominate the next superbowl, and get a hige payday from the Patriots??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Yup. And 95% of the others sucked. It should be illeagual to say Tom Brady was a sixth round draft choice.It's actually higher than 95% I think. I need to run the numbers again. Basically though people use 1 guy out of 20 to try to prove their point. It's really a dumb strategy. If you are trying to hang your hat on "1 out of 20 times you'll be right" that's just not smart. Play the percentages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play the percentages. Right. Brady is the outlier. He was drafted by a team that had a veteran QB as well. You can see that team taking a flyer in the 6th on a QB. The Bills aren't in the position to bank on that guy. They will have to address the position sooner, it all about playing the odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise the chances of the Bills landing the guy are next to nil.Baker Mayfield and Mason Rudolph looked the part of 1st round qb's this weekend. I will go on record as saying at least one of them won't be. Over-reacting to the first game of the college season is the same as over-reacting to these pre-season cuts. Let's see what the on-field/final product is before judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobobonators Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 WTF is Vlad still doing on this team? If our bread and butter is the run game why are we releasing JWill? Shady hasnt had 300 attempts since 2014. Mike G is gone and now JWill is gone. Banyard and his 23 rushing attempts in 4 nfl seasons is going to split the load with shady? Ridiculous. Laughable.

MiltonWaddams Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 I'm curious how McDermott and staff will get the new guys up to speed in 7 days.The same way every other coach in the league does. It's not as though they picked up 3 starters who will be forced into action immediately. They, as a whole, are depth, and most likely will find themselves on the inactive list for the first week or two. Where the intrigue will lie is in the new wr, Clay, who may well be on the field against the Jets for a number of snaps due to the sheer lack of an alternative.

I can't quit on this team. I can think we will be bad this year (and I do think that) but I can't quit on them. Too many hours of my week are dedicated to them even in the dog days of the off-season. I will cheer them on every snap all season long and hope that they prove my pessimism for the year wrong. There is too much real serious stuff that takes up time in my life to allow my sports teams being bad to actually depress me. The hours in the day that I dedicate to following the Bills whether it is on here, watching games, watching press conferences or listening to Schopp and Bulldog while I do the dinner dishes in an evening.... that is the fun bit of life. Yes I want them to win and yes I will criticise them when they make decisions that seem to me to be wrong ones but they make my life more enjoyable win or lose. That is what sports should be guys.... they should be the fun part. Work, family, finances....... that is all the hard stuff (well with my family it is at least haha ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
