BuffaloBaumer Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Maybe the offensive line is not as bad as people thought. Maybe the receivers could turn into something (sounded pretty good today). Maybe Buffalo really HAS found their next franchise QB Did Buffalo really just steal the possible rookie of the year in Edmunds? There are still a lot of ifs here but looking into next year with no cap issues, tons to spend, and another draft to bolster the O, I am starting to think that the Bills could be on a roll as the Patriots eventually drop back down to Earth. I could not be happier with our coach and GM and contrary to past years when it was nothing but garbage as far as the eye could see, this team seems like it finally has an eye on building a champion. I'm fired up 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fadingpain Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Well, most people who follow the sport closely and are not Buffalo Bills fans think we will win about 4 games this year. So there's that. If Allen defies the odds and is a hit, we could be on the brink of something special. If he is a miss as anticipated by most, we're in no different position than usual. The organization, as a whole, is definitely more sound right now than it has been in a long time. I've been saying that since the beginning with McBeane on board. The franchise has been flushed clean, finally, and I do think the arrow, writ large, is pointing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I think most people believe we could field a Top 10 Defense this year. That’s going to keep us in most games. Here’s to hoping most of these answers to offensive question marks are positive.. -Is Daboll the answer at OC? -Is Josh Allen a franchise QB? -What exactly does AJ McCarron look like when given a legitimate chance? -McCoy/Ivory vs McCoy/Tolbert -New OL scheme and personnel -Can KB stay healthy and be a true #1? -How does Kerley perform in our offense? -Can Zay grow up both as a person and player? -Does anyone else emerge at WR? -Clay/O’Leary/Thomas is a solid TE unit. What kind of production do we get from them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based upon some of the 'irrational exuberance' exhibited regarding individual players and team expectations, there might very well be 'fermented comestibles' involved.

MJS Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 If thinking big means believing the Bills will win more than 4 games, then yes, I've been thinking big all along. I see 7-9 or 8-8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fired up Agreed. The new Buffalo Bills “dna” is the oft-cited “lunch box mentality”. Kyle Williams, Tre White, O’Leary, Allen, Lorax, Tremaine Edmunds, Hyde, Poyer for example. Gone are the days of Dareus, Sammy and Darby (guilt by association with Winston). Beane/McD want players who eat, sleep, **** and !@#$ footballs. I’m ok with that.
