theRalph Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 For all it's faults, the NFL has certainly made the offseason nearly as exciting as fall Sundays. We now have superb awareness of the machinations of the league in March and April. And most Bills' fans are, I believe, very impressed with the free agent class. Many, like me, have already developed a confidence and trust in the McBeane braintrust. Can't wait for the draft! But the Debbie Downer Syndrome (DDS...which, like the dental reference, causes fear and pain) is still rampant with a group of fans, as well as with the afternoon drive personalities fielded by WGR550. If I hear once more that Josh Allen could be horrible next season, or that the wide receiver group is worse than last season, or that we really haven't improved the line..... I attribute this negative way of thinking about the team, in part, to the hangover of drought effects. I mean c'mon....even the national media is warming to the Bills' offseason. But when you are a radio personality and feel the need to constantly cover your ass because the team has disappointed in past years, I turn you off. And when you DDS sufferers post here...you will get slammed, like the one thread I just read. The OP had to turn off the comments lol. Take heart Bills Nation. It's OK, I promise, to have great hopes for the season. The Patriots are done. The end of the dynasty has arrived...not because Brady or Belicheat are retiring, not because of natural timing/cycles, or not even because of a sinkhole developing under Gillette Stadium. It because KARMA will throttle this team after their disgusting, bordering on sub-human owner got caught with his pants down enabling human trafficking. He will spin in the wind and you may join me in pointing and laughing. At him, and then his team. Out. -theRalph 4 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Here's the thing about WGR. It's a bunch of guys who never played sports and probably aren't very athletic thinking they know everything about sports because they check the stats. They think they know more than the people who have been there and done it. No matter how much you read about something, there are important things that you will never pick up on or know unless you do it yourself. WGR is full of hacks.

Steptide Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 To be fair, Josh Allen could be terrible next year, as well as the receivers and o line. However, the bills staff is definitely making a strong effort to improve this team and that's what's exciting about this off-season. I personally feel like we're a better team already just with the free agent signings, and we haven't even gotten to the draft yet. ALOT falls on Josh Allen's improvement this season though 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 If you want to hear far, FAR better analysis -- broadcasts that actually feature legitimate information and breakdowns, interesting topics, and a dose of optimism or at least fairness -- Listen to the Cover 1 or Locked On Bills podcasts.

ALOT falls on Josh Allen's improvement this season though I'm not saying Allen doesn't need to improve, I think everyone would agree to that, but I believe to what level of improvement is needed varies from person to person. I think part of the perceived improvement people will see this coming year is really just going to be MUCH better talent surrounding a young QB.

More so than the Polian era? The Bills had the most talented roster in the AFC by the middle of 1987(Biscuit trade) and maintained that rank until at least the end of the 1993 season. McBeane could have a Wilson/Carroll Seahawks-esque run and not reach that level of excellence...........you have the bar set very high my friend............I like it.........expect a Patriot-like run. 20 years of McAllen dominance or BUST!

BillsfaninChicago Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I haven’t listened to WGR in 13 years because they had gotten so bad. Not so much the negativity it was more the constant discussion of things that had absolutely nothing to do with Buffalo Sports or sports in general. Maybe they have gotten better but when I see threads like this it doesn’t make me miss listening to fascinating discussions about maple syrup or Bulldog’s deep seeded hatred of Kenny Chesney. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do expect the Bills to be better and right in playoff contention at around 9-7. Put me in the camp that does believe the Patriots will take another slight step back in regular season play though and if it is enough to slip them to the 3 seed or lower they won't win it all.
