The Now Moment Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 A few young guys had impressive days out there. I know the Jets are a mess but to see Foster finally connect was awesome. 100 yard game out of a speed receiver is what this offense has been waiting for. Zay Jones had his best day in a Bills uniform and has shown drastic improvement since last year. Teller had a really encouraging first start showing his power with a pancake block. The offensive line as a whole was better with a little shake up in personnel. Marcus Murphy had a solid day. Of course Milano keeps killing it out there and Dion Dawkins looking like a dancing bear with the fluid hips on his tuddy. Shaq looking like the first round DE that we envisioned. And Edmunds having a solid first year. White...nuff said. Sometimes a win over a ***** team is all it takes to give a young team their confidence back. The young players that have shown success so far is really impressive to me. The drafting just seems to look better and better as the weeks go on. Hopefully we get to see more Allen out there and watch this young team develop over the next 6. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something that has absolutely crippled our teams for decades by not being able to build a team through the draft. If Allen turns into what we hope he will, this team can be a serious threat or legacy. Not a one and done team but perennial playoff team. 2017 first 4 rounds look to be an outstanding draft class, something we aren't used too. 1st - Tre 2nd - Zay 3rd - Dion 4th - Milano 2018 is no joke either but needs more time 1st - Allen 1st - Edmunds 3rd - Phillips 4th - T.Johnson 5th - Neal 5th - Tellar It starts with the drafts above. This is how the mid to late 80's went down. 14 minutes ago, PearlHowardman said: Fans like you are why the Pegulas love owning the Buffalo Bills. You and your money are right in their pocket!

You and your money are right in their pocket! If you can't take any positives out of this team you don't quite understand what this year was all about from the beginning. Hink: we have a lot of young players at key positions...development year is correct! The team lost a couple of solid offensive lineman in the offseason. Tough to replace that in one year. Teller looked great today...developement! The defense has a ton of young players on it and they are currently ranked 1 or 2 in yards allowed per game. Take a second and be happy at the positives of this team looking forward. It's NEVER been about this year but this year is an extremely important one for the young players to develop. 8 minutes ago, Real McCoy said: Just gotta love to see draft picks work out.

Next offseason will be another exciting one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think anything could get me very excited the rest of the season without Allen, but Barkley puts a whole new spin on the QB position that I did not see coming. Nice recovery Mc Beane... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We saw a bit of it in Minnesota too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say hi to Tre White. It's not all about where you pick. Plus if they win a few games here that means our young guys must have continued to take steps forward. Why tank?

Position no doubt is always a plus but, if you draft correctly like the last 2 years it doesn't matter as long as they contribute and develop into better than selected. if 2017 draft had a "do over" where does Milano and Dawkins fall? 1st and 2nd rounders? Early to say on T.Johnson and Teller but both look like they should have been selected before the 4th and 5th rd this year. It's early and I'm trying to keep the kool-aid away from the cup but I can't help to see the promise in these players we drafted the last couple years. Just refreshing and how you build a real team.

Well I think there is a reason some fans don't like this regime because they like to build their own team through the draft and we haven't exactly drafted well in a very very long time. Building through the draft takes a lot of hits in the later rounds as well as 1st rounders. So I get where they are coming from but this regime is proven showed they can draft and develop talent on both sides of the ball so far. There have been fewer picks on offense but Jones, Dawkins and Teller have all progressed so far. Can't wait to see more of Teller. He is exactly the type of player I want next to Dawkins. Zay Jones is could end up with 500-700 yards and a few TDs this year, a year of eratic QB play. That's really encouraging. He's not a number one receiver by any means but he looks like a Robert Woods type contributor. Someone we've missed. 6 minutes ago, stuvian said: we'd be sniffing .500 if we'd had a decent vet back up in camp They did and Peterman outperformed him in preseason. It's easy to look back on and complain but Peterman was playing better than him at the time. This is a development team that's got a top defense and just put up 41 points with a lot of young players stepping up. You are allowed to have some positivity when you see players developing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been gaining confidence as the year has gone on. Pleased with his ability to play through all the bs. Fans almost wanted him gone last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying we will go 6 - 0 to close out the season, but with solid quarterback play who knows what this team can accomplish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
