Gugny Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 6 hours ago, Buftex said: Me too...but my confession? I am still not convinced he got a fair shake. He was in Buffalo for 4 years, started 17 games...he played reasonably well starting that 2013 season (2-2 start), but got knocked out of his 5th start. He never really was given a real shot after that. His development was very stunted. As Kelly said, he may have never emerged as an upper echelon guy, but he might have developed into a competant starter. We all remember the disaster in London, but he actually played really well in that game, minus that disaterous 2 minute stretch. But, eh...old news. Oh, he got totally screwed; I'm with you, there. Re: London - I also agree. He had a horrible couple minutes, a pretty great rest of the day and the game ended up being lost by our defense. I honestly don't think he'd have been very good even if he wasn't screwed over. But he was definitely effed - especially by Rex. But yeah ... it's old news.

Dadonkadonk Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I wanted DeShone Kizer in 2017 draft. Would have taken instead of White in the first. Though for sure they would take in second round, instead they took Zay. Also hated giving up a pick to move up to get Dawkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i guess I am not admitting to liking EJ and being wrong..I still like him!!!! For the rest of you, good news is I ain't getting another dog so no jinking Allen by naming the dog after him!

PrimeTime101 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 What an inventive fun topic you made OP. Thanks for this. I really thought EJ Manuel was going to be the end of the QB search for 13 years Some how I don't think even 10 lashing at the public square will rectify this sin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I have a confession to make: I believe that approximately 95% of all sports fans -- not just Buffalo fans -- are complete idiots. My other confession: I am always going to look at the optimistic angle of moves made by my teams. That doesn't mean I'm blind to their faults and mistakes, but I'm not going to let myself be the sort of person who complains about something when I know there's nothing I, personally, can do about the situation. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frostbitmic Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I was stoked when they traded up for Sammy Watkins. No disrespect for Josh Allen or Tre White but I was pissed they didn't draft Deshawn Watson last year. I wanted the Schwartz to be with us as HC after Marrone quit.

Rumor had it that was the guy Whaley wanted and he was already negotiating with Schwartz to stay as DC. I now think Jackson would have been a horrible choice.

KellyToTasker Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I watched a ton of Levi Brown YouTube videos. This I'm okay with, we've clung to many diamonds in the rough with hope that somebody would be the guy. He wasn't. What, I'm not okay with.....I cheated. I once wore a Colts sweatshirt and hat to a Thursday night, Colts/Jaguars game. I was so Frustrated with the Bills....That was the year of the Patriots come back game and we started 5-2. It started off so well, and over night......Things changed. I was vulnerable. I thought it would make me feel better, it only made me feel worse. Unfortunately, there are pictures. Someday, people will see. It'll never happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock-A-Bye Beasley Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Ok I’ll confess I wanted Clausen. But mostly just because I wanted a QB to be drafted. The Patriots have drafted more QBs since they’ve had Brady than the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 At the height of the Johnson - Flutie debate, I went to training camp. I was 12. It was my Birthday. I wore my Rob Johnson jersey. BECAUSE I was the only kid there with a Johnson jersey, amidst a sea of Flutie jerseys, and because it was my brithday...Bill Pucko from R News Rochester decided to make me the "camper of the day" and put me on that evening's news. He asked "So, young man, why do you have a Rob Johnson jersey on today?". I replied something to the effect of "I believe he is going to be the future of the Buffalo Bills!". Sure enough, it aired that night, on a loop, on R News. So yeah, there's archival footage of me on the news, in a Rob Johnson jersey, predicting that he'd be the future of the team.

billsfan5121 Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I was pretty upset that we drafted Allen over Rosen, but for some reason (because he is a Bill), I like him more now. I thought for sure Trent was a future franchise qb, and when people knocked his arm strength, I would point to the one long throw to Evans against Miami in a snowy game in Buffalo. I think Trent had 4 TDS that game despite throwing less than 50% and 160 yards or so. I also thought TO would be a great weapon for Trent and both would have great seasons. I thought Losman was the next Favre. Strong arm, gun slinger mentality. I thought once healed, McGahee would be great. He had a decent 2004 season. Don’t remember much of 2005 or 2006 season though. Basically, I was wrong. I thought Fred Jackson took too many carries from Spiller. Yeah, I may get flamed for that one. I thought the NE game in 2011 meant we were playoff bound because a bad team couldn’t beat NE. I ignored the 4 INTs and still barely winning as a sign that it was an anomaly. I also thougt brady wouldn’t be the same after his injury. He probably got even better. I thought Watkins would be our Julio Jones type receiver (who I hear we may get according to the other thread). Who would’ve thought he be on 3 teams in 5 seasons. I thought Mark Anderson would get 10+ sacks opposite Mario. I also thought Merriman would resurrect his career here. I thought Ko Simpson and Whitner would give us the best safety tandem in the league for many years to come. Shall I go on? Basically, I apparently know nothing about football, would suck as a talent evaluator, and nobody should ever take my opinion to mean anything other than the opposite. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Also put that in the thread) I confess that I despised Fitz, Chan Gailey, and protested the Rex Ryan hire from minute 1. I confess that I didn't want Jim Schwartz initially, but was broken when he left I confess that I thought Tyrod was an excellent pickup, but not a long-term solution. I confess that I still have "what if" moments in regards to Brandon Kaufman, and Brad Smith. I confess that I have little faith in Brian Daboll's ability to: A) Groom a young QB. B) Field and coordinate an effective NFL offense. I confess that I wasn't impressed with McBeane's first Bills draft. I confess that I still root for Cardale. I confess that I think Drew Stanton is the best QB on Cleveland's roster. I confess that I think Stanford's Dave Shaw should be an NFL HC (possibly ours, -we'll see.) I confess that I did not want Allen in the first round. (Or any QB.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 My biggest one is that I was convinced Shaq Lawson's handwork would more than compensate his lack of initial burst and make him a legimitate pass rush threat in the NFL. I thought Marquise Goodwin completely sucked. In Kyle Shanahan's offense he showed he was at least a capable player. I did like EJ the best of the 2013 QB class as well, although I didn't think any were great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
