Da webster guy Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 This is the year of the QB for us. That's just the reality. McCarron didn't pan out, Beane should have signed Teddy Bridgewater instead, but he gambled on a guy who's entire pro career highlights were essentially throws to A.J. Green who obviously makes all qb's look great. So here we are starting a kid who isn't ready, but sure is fun to watch. Big, tough, mobile--looked pretty good for a guy that's only played two years at a mid size college program. Next year we have 10 picks and $100M in cap space. So just accept what IS, and not what you thought we would be this year. If it's not fun for you watch hockey or buy a Fitz tampa jersey. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronyAbounds Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Why should anyone be upset about the fact that the Bills are as far away from being Super Bowl contenders than at any time since the Harvey Johnson days? Why should they care about the Bills not having any proven talent beyond McCoy and a somewhat decent secondary? Why should anyone be bothered by the fact that 3 wins will likely be considered over-achieving for this assemblage of dreck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still listened to some of it simply because I was curious as to how JA would do. Other then that, i was having some fun in the sun on the water. Not bummed about the loss at all here. I am encouraged by JA's second half performance though. you can do both. Like I do. Water on Sat., alcohol on Sun.. lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisplacedBillsFan Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I am a little disappointed, but not surprised with our start. I was the least excited for this season as I can ever remember. That said, I liked what I saw in the second half, and think we win next week. I will be disappointed and surprised if we are 0-3. I would not have said that last week, but I now think we can win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really care, because as you say, we are rebuilding. but it also helps, a LOT, that we made the playoffs last year. I’m still high off that. THE CURSE IS OVER!!

BillsFan130 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Not upset they are 0 and 2. But I’m upset with a few things: 1. How pathetic they have looked in those 2 games 2. How poorly they handled the QB situation 3. How poorly their FA acquisitions have been so far 4. Dabolls offence/play calling. I have little faith this guy is going to develop josh Allen 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I'm with the OP. This is a team of very meager talent. I have zero expectations that we'll even be competitive from week-to-week. Now that the Peterman experiment is over, I'm excited to watch Josh Allen's development.

SCBills Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Was hoping to grab 1 of the first 4 to keep some excitement alive. With Minn/GB, doubt that happens and quite honestly, it's pathetic how bad they've looked.

Soda Popinski Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 More upset with the blowouts than the actual record. I figure we'll be 0-4 in the next couple weeks, but the gap has to be closer these ass whippings are getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. Even mediocre franchises can avoid years where all the wheels fall off. It takes organizations that are truly inept to put the product on the field that the Bills are this year. It isn't easy not to have a roster full of players when only one of them, McCoy, would start, let alone be a force, for any other team in the league. That takes ineptitude to epic levels.

I dunno but alot of teams have been better and won Super Bowls after being a middling 8-8, 7-9 or 9-7 the year prior without having to blow the whole thing up. As a matter of fact I cant recall the last team that won a SB after a complete tear down and rebuild. Does that even work in the NFL? Thank you. Tear-down rebuilds are not how it’s done in the NFL. Teams rebuild on the fly and it is a league designed for parity. Anyone selling you that we need to tear it down and start over to be good is full of it. If this team goes 1-15 or 0-16 it will be because of incompetence, not as the residue of some grand plan or process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not upset about the W-L record per se, but I am upset about the way the Bills played last week and in the first half. As I've said elsewhere, there's a difference between a loss - you can lose because of 1 to 3 mistake plays in an overall strong effort - and being embarrassed by a large scale and consistent display of incompetence in all 3 phases of the game.

Couldn't make an impact to help win the game if he played like Deion Sanders. It creates a losing culture if Tre White steps on the field knowing he'll lose and there's nothing he can do about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'd be more excited for #1 because of the potential bounty it would bring in picks. Say we could move from 1 to 3 and pick up a 2020 1, a couple twos and a three. That would be outstanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
