Kirby Jackson Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Even though our coach won’t admit when he made a mistake I thought it would be fun to admit our mistakes. The point of this thread is to take one point that you were adamant about from the offseason or in season that you regret having. And now for the walk of atonement: I thought that Frank Reich would be a terrible hire for HC. I thought that it would be a lazy, sentimental hiring for an unqualified candidate. He was maybe my least favorite candidate. He’s done a phenomenal job this year and looks to be high on team’s radar this offseason. In hindsight, he might have been the perfect guy!! I was completely wrong about it and sorry to you Frank Reich. I will not doubt any of the Super Bowl Bills.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I was wrong about Peterman. dead wrong. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Duffy Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) I said earlier in the season that this defense was miles better than Rex's and they are more disciplined than the last 2 seasons. I was wrong. Also thought Peterman would be able to come in and light it up. Although the Oline didn't help him out once so ever, I was still wrong.

The Frankish Reich Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 First the good: I was wrong about Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde. I thought they were at best average safeties. Now the bad: I was wrong about McBeane's "plan." I thought it was a covert rebuild - basically the start of a from-the-ground-up complete redo with a little window dressing (bringing Tyrod back, signing a few journeymen). Now I think it just seems like lack of a plan. The "process" is whatever McD and Beane feel like doing this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Fan in LA Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I was wrong to think that bringing in Peterman would solve our problems........ The idea was that Peterman is a "faster gun" and would read the defenses faster, and release the ball faster. It may be true that he's faster than TT, but not fast enough for this dreadful O Line. And that meant that the DLine was on the field more, and that didn't work either. I thought we were one guy away from the promised land.............boy, was I wrong...........

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm never wrong. Just ask my alter ego. I was wrong in drinking the KoolAid whenthe D was actually good and believing that TT could save the season by becoming a passing QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloHokie13 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Definitely wrong about Poyer. Thought he'd be a liability, happily surprised. And in light of recent events, I was apparently wrong about Dennison & Tyrod. Still kinda feels like a knife in the back... I really want to know what happened to the plays I was hearing about.

Gugny Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I was wrong to think that there can't possibly be that many people stupid enough to think they can assess a rookie QB based on his first 30 minutes of meaningful football - yet most of those same people think that, after 6 years in the league and 40 starts for the Bills, that the jury is still out on Tyrod Taylor's ability to be a decent NFL starter. 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Bills fashion, they still have a draft ruining win or two left in them. I didn’t foresee Peterman sucking on such a monumental scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill from NYC Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I posted a prediction of 4 wins and worse, I was outraged when a poster said they would finish with the 15th pick in the 2018 draft.

I was completely wrong about it and sorry to you Frank Reich. I will not doubt any of the Super Bowl Bills. I didn't think trading Dareus would impact our D much, especially after the OAK game. I didn't think we got good value for him so I thought it was nuts from that viewpoint, but I didn't think our D would swirl down the crapper. I was wrong. I actually had the same thoughts about Frank Reich. I was wrong. I thought Dennison would be a great, creative and adaptable OC good at a run-centered O designed to hide a questionable QB, based on his prev. experience in Houston, Baltimore, and Denver. It appears I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
