Victory Formation Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I'm at a point mentally where it's put up or shut up for me. Last year fans thought I was crazy when I said that I wanted to win out instead of bottoming out for a franchise QB. We may have only went 9-7 last year but that was the first time in my adult life we made the playoffs. I was born in 87 and I remember wide right and I was crushed when that happened but I was way too young to understand the significance of the moment. Last time we made the playoffs I was 12, once again too young to fully understand what was going on. I admire many of you old timers, you got to see OJ, Cookie, Kemp, Ferguson, I do not have any glory years to really gloat about. There are a lot of millennials such as myself that would lose their minds if we saw the Buffalo Bills in the playoffs for the next 10-12 years, I'm so desperate to experience playoff football in my adult years, I think the entire !@#$ing city would get burned down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transient Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) Right now? Like, right this moment? As I’m typing this? It’s the off-season, dude. The booze, apps, giant ass rib eye, port, and dessert... and if I’m being honest, more booze... are having much more of an impact on how I’m feeling right now than the Bills, which I would describe as feeling as though I happily and stupidly ate a, albeit delicious, bowling ball.

Logic Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I feel like I'm sick of living off the fumes of the early 90s. I'm sick of having to watch guys named Kelly, Thomas, and Reed just to catch a glimpse of success. I'm sick of chasing ghosts. I'm ready to watch a consistently contending, legitimately playoff caliber team. I'm ready to see competent quarterbacking, top 5 defenses, and 10 to 12 win seasons. I'm ready for All-Pro nods and prime time games. I'm ready to stand in line with 75,000 rowdy lunatics to get into the gates for a home AFC Championship game. I'm ready to fly to Buffalo when the Bills win it all and take part in a week of celebration and fandemonium the likes of which the sports world has never seen. I'm ready to cast off the stink of 50+ years of mediocrity and finally feel the jubilation of rooting for a well-run, winning franchise. The worm's got to turn sometimes, man. It's got to. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 After the last 3 seasons if you compare it to when Rex came in with a new QB I’m actually feeling a bit better overall. The Oline has always been called questionable for a long time so to me it’s the sos. The defense should be better with who we retained and gained. Short answer Optimistic.

Agreed overall. I'd slip starting DB up to above standard (with white being a star, and Davis being unknown but hopefully returns to star), although I could see overall, including depth, it being standard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a question mark after Tre’Davious-and he could have a sophomore slump. Seems every team has at least one very good CB, so I see us League Standard there.. Also, our TE’s are Standard -but maybe due to Tyrod.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense when you think about the possible sophomore slump and the lack of depth If Davis returns to 80% of his former self and white is 80% of last year's play then I could see above average. Star would be Jax obviously or the old legion of boom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the Bills, I'm still optimistic we will be better than all the talking heads at ESPN state. After last year, people should remember these guys write us off every year.

MiltonWaddams Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I feel great. They are my favorite team in all of sports and join my myriad of reasons to wake up every day. Will they be good? I'm not a prognosticator, but I sure do love the look of this defence and am expecting the O to struggle unless the O-line far surpasses our expectations. The WR's can run routes and there's hope with some speed picked up in the draft, the possible emergence of Reilly, Streater's return and the KB getting more time to gel and understand the complete offence. My expectations are 6-10, my hopes are 16-0 for the Senator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, by “worse”, we are talking about a slightly inferior record and no playoffs, I’m actually OK with that.... as long as we see progress on defense and encouraging signs regarding our shiny new QB and LB. Use FA and the draft next year to solidify both lines (especially offensive) and get some weapons. It’s a “P Word”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
