We have pretty much all concluded this is a lost, non-playoff year, by Week 2. The theory is that this is for the long term good of the team, so it is OK. That remains to be seen. If Allen doesn't come around, this is just a good old fashioned Bills disaster. We need to draft the next Bruce and Thurman in 2019 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By coming on a message board? There is zero we can do about it. It sucks im not saying it doesnt and the constant rebuild is getting old. Both whether we accept it or not doesnt mean a thing...we dont run the team. All a fan can do is decide not to spend money on the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) I don't like it one bit. Going from playoffs (luck/skill take your pick) to hiddeously worst in the league shows total and utter ineptness IMHO. Yeah I know rebuild blah blah blah. But this is a big ask for season ticket holders or people who live in other cities and buy DirectTV or whatever to watch the games. I have seasons and fly all the way across the country, stay in hotels, and stay with in laws for a whole week to go to a couple of games. And now I gotta watch this? It's also gonna be a hit on all the loyal Bills Bars around the country who will take in the shorts in November/December when last year they were rockin'. It didn't have to be this bad. We were 2 games over .500 the last 4 years with one playoff appearance. We weren't some bottom rung team spinning our wheels. What happened to re build while winning? Seemed to work last year. I don't hear that so much anymore. Beane is starting to remind me of Robert Preston character in the Music Man. Come in, make huge promises and then fail miserably to deliver. We'll see if he can deliver next year I guess. My concern now is that with all this losing and looking silly, we'll get into a situation like when Schoebel quit. We'll have to dump more guys because they don't "buy in". Putting us further behind. It's a treadmill approach. Run off good guys and replace them with guys that aren't as good to get more good guys later. Let the birds in your hand go to get better birds from the bush. i was not raised as a Bills fan but due to love of a good woman I became one in 1996. We rooted for another team when growing up. I was taught to try to win EVERY game. Losing is for losers. The whole notion of losing on purpose so you might be better someday down the road is foreign and repugnant to me. So I have a hard time with this whole Tank/rebuild nonsense. It'll all come down to if they can draft/sign FAs very effectively. If they are good, they should be able to get us back to 2014 levels by 2020 if Josh Allen turns out to be as good as Kyle Orton (far from a given).

Figster Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I really liked how the Bills came out in the 2nd half and view the learning experience for Allen a good one despite the loss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
