AllenWillBust Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I'm wondering, how could you possibly think this? No, they will not win the next 3 games. The best thing for them would be to lose all 3. They have a real chance here to finish in the top 5 without trading up. If you want a bunch of linemen to continue the Josh Allen experiment, you get a top 5 pick, trade down with a QB desperate team and pick your O-Linemen later in the first and subsequent rounds. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyC81 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I always root for the Bills to win but I wouldn't be too disappointed if they lost the last three. As you said, though, they always seem to win a meaningless game or two at the end of the season to hurt their draft position. Despite the franchise history of poor and mediocre play, they have had the first pick in the NFL draft only 4 times in the 53 years there has been only the NFL Draft (no AFL), with the last being the Bruce Smith pick in 1985.

Marv's Neighbor Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 This is another "no win" situation. No matter what we do, we'll be seen as playing for draft position. That's OK except our draft success record is so uneven that we can't look to the draft to solve all our problems. So, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

chef4131 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I totally support using the next 3 games to watch players, victories are meaningless and certainly could do more long term harm to the future success. (see 2010 season, could have had first pick and drafted Cam, instead we went 4-4 in final 8 games, drafted Dareus) I know posted will disagree with me but there is no evidence that late season victories do anything for a team the following year. This team is void of talent and why not put yourself in the best position to get the talent you covet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I think we beat the Dolphins and spoil their playoff chances. I think we have a chance against the Lions. I think we match up well there. I am so curious how Allen will play against the Patriots. But I'm guessing we finish 5-11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to say this is the best long-term scenario at this point. It's more likely they lose the last 3 games. If the Jets, Jags, and Falcons can win 1 more game each we'd drop into the #4 spot. Trading back, assuming they can find a partner, and swapping 1st's along with getting several additional picks. And while it's way too early to think of draft specifics I don't want to see them trading up to get one guy. We need help in too many places for that approach to be in play. In another topic somebody posted that nobody on the Bills offense would start for any other team, maybe with the exception of Dawkins, and that is probably true and really pathetic.

stevewin Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Just beat the Cheaters and hopefully negatively impact their chances for seeding and home field. Hopefully game will mean something for that, and they will have to play their starters, and we can physically beat the crap out of some of their top players Edited December 10, 2018 by stevewin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Football is a lot about momentum. If they lose the next three they’ll get a better draft pick but they certainly can’t feel good about themselves going into the offseason on a five game losing streak. Ugh!

RevWarRifleman Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 May attitude has been that you always go into a game to win. The franchise has had enough losing over the decades as it is. Moreover, to build a "culture" of winning, by having an attitude that you're going to win is part of all that. Getting all involved in that Harry High school horsedoo about draft position next spring and this vs that is a waste of time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is void of talent and why not put yourself in the best position to get the talent you covet. I understand your point to an extent, however, I believe stringing something together at the end of this season could go a long way to building our QB’s overall confidence and momentum, as well as the fact the winning helps support a better overall culture. That said, I also see the merit to obtaining additional draft capital. So I’ll probably end up feeling ok either way, provided JA continues to grow/improve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeziehmer Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 There is no reason to show pride or enthusiasm really it’s misplaced. Ownership threw in the towel, Coaching threw in the towel, and next season will take time to gel all the units into a cohesive mix. On the plus side we are always one year away from greatness and can say continually “there’s always next year.” It’s a magic salve of a word which is a dagger in the heart to fans. I feel for the dad who took his daughter to see Peterman in the Bills veruses Bears game. Part of the process getting blown out at home and having zero pride and making the younger generation cry. Always next year is the mantra for quitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 we have our QB, so we don't need the one guy to change it all, and the chances of us getting that guy with the higher pick are low anyhow. I'd be happy winning out, growing the team and getting our young guys better. we need vets to come in as FA signings, and winning will help that.
