YoloinOhio Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott say they've set the standard even higher for 2018 If anyone thinks breaking the longest postseason drought in North American professional sports has allowed the two men running the Buffalo Bills to feel they’ve bought themselves a free year, so to speak, and are willing to take a step back, think again. https://wgr550.radio.com/articles/news/after-breaking-playoff-drought-bills-brass-says-theres-no-taking-steps-back-2018 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cripple Creek Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) YOLO is on TOP of his game. High level meetings must be in the PM. Thanks for posting. That was a good read and you continue, through articles like this, to see how closely aligned they are. That is a very good thing that when coupled with the talent I think both have points to a very bright future for our team.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Well, that's all well and good that they are setting their standard high but let's be honest: we are probably taking a step back this year. We have a QB competition between a career backup, a scrub who set records for interceptions, and a rookie who very likely needs time to adjust. Throw in a completely reworked O-line and not a ton of talent in receiving options, the team will likely have a worse offense than last year. And I have made peace with that. 2019 is when the dead cap comes back, and Allen hopefully is seasoned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 but I thought many here are ok with 4-12 and a high draft pick...isn't that what Bills and Sabre fans want....more picks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 The Bills needed the highest draft pick possible in 2018 to get a QB. If they would not tank then, McD and Beane never will. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzo? i just hope that those threads cannot be resurrected so that I can maintain my innocence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Look, joking aside people, who here thinks that we will be better than 9-7 this year? I would be ecstatic if they are. I don't want us trolling for a better pick. But I don't see us having a better record this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see 6-8ish wins this season, but I also expect them to be a better team by the end. Pollyannaish of me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect the defense to be better after with Star and Phillips bolstering the center, and Edmunds and Milano at LB. I expect to see a lot of nickel, or 3 safeties. For the offense, assuming that they are overall worse, but Dawkins and Teller get seasoned. I agree that I think that by the end of the season we are going to be salivating over a few free agent prospects and dreaming of 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing is very similar to what the Jags did, that is assuming that players like Milano, Dawkins and White improve and don’t regress. Nail a few drafts, clear dead money, have a boatload of cap room with which you can bolster the roster. I’m excited, not in love with the OC hire though.

ALF Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 The more I hear about and watch Daboll , the more confident I get about the potential of the offense. The next free agency and draft should tie up loose ends for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are 5-11 and 4-12 the next 2 years, they can keep repeating trust the process. 3). The 76ers, who have been trusting the process way before us, had to seat through 5 years of awful basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Great interview. The Bills are in good hands. I know a lot of you are still questioning their ability to field a competent NFL offense but I believe we'll see significant strides throughout this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasons1992 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 What I'm hoping for is a completely unknown player putting up a huge season out of nowhere. If that's Allen, swell. If it's some walk-on we pick off the pile, or a 7th-rounder, also great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
