TigerJ Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I always root for a win. In particular, I don't think a top 5 draft pi9ck is worth all that much more than a top 10 pick. There might be a consesnus on about the top two prospects in the draft, then there are a bunchy of guys on the next tier. One is not enough better than another that observers can arrive at any sort of consensus as to which one is better. . Buffalo could in theory draft in the ninth spot and be able to get the player who is third or fourth on their big board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comebackkid Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Normally I always want to win and I hate the fish, but with this year being what it is we help our future and take away a bit from the fish with a loss. Id like to see a close game with the loss on the refs or special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I understand those who strongly always root for a win. But a loss helps us more, and this season has long since been over. Further, the Miami rivalry thing has been dead for many, many years. Just lose the thing and let's hope for better next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure would be nice to draft in the top 5, but when I watch on Sunday, I will be hoping to see the Fish, squished. Fair enough. Yeah, I won't be rooting for bad things on Sunday, but certainly prefer a loss on the scoreboard, could impact our draft position by as much as 6 to 8 spots depending what happens in other games.

ProcessYaDigg Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 At this point, I really don't care. I wanna see Josh Allen play mistake free football and show that he has complete control of his offense. Yes, draft position is important, but McBean has already demonstrated that he'll wheel and deal to move up in the draft if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 11 hours ago, sven233 said: Best case is that Allen throws for 400+ yards, 5+ TDs, no picks and we still lose (preferably because we give up 5 punt and kick returns for TDs). This way, we all see something great from Allen, the defense is not awful and Crossman definitely gets fired. The only reason to be interested in this game is to see how Allen performs. As fans, we should all want him to put up great numbers, but having a top 5-7 pick would be great as well. This. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 We have our QB, it's time to get the wins at all costs, It's up to Beane to find the talent all throughout the draft, that's part of his job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 At this point I want everyone to come out healthy and play well, just not well enough to win. You don’t care about the preseason do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufflow4 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I’m not so much worried about the draft position in the first round. I think the talent will be there no matter where we pick and a later pick may force Beane’s hand to take offense. Although, we would have a better chance of trading back if we were in the 4-6 range. I think where having a high draft position will really benefit is in the 2nd-4th rounds because of the depth at OL and WR in the draft this year. Ideally we would want to be picking at the top of those rounds especially with the Cardinals, Jets, and Giants having similar needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Win as many as you can each season. Everything else will fall into place accordingly. Losing makes it harder to sign free agents and has a negative impact on the current players, coaches, and fans. There are tons of good guys to draft. Every year there are breakout players from all over the first round and beyond, and busts from the top 10 picks. Tre White was a late 1st round pick and he is now one of our best players. Winning makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
