DieHardBillsFan Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) I was reading a comment saying that, guessing what will happen during the season now is way too early and it's like playing darts... This started me on a rant. This really shouldn't be directed to one person though. There are tons of you out there. You know who you are. So you have no thoughts on the matter and don't wish to discuss it... All you gotta say. This board is built on thoughts and opinions and maybe 10% research. The, everyone has one, just like an A-holes, type of statements are useless. Why say we shouldn't be writing about this or that? Discuss, its the offseason. What do you think of the new guys? I'd like to know. Do you think they would mingle well as a group or have you seen they are the type that are good locker guys which would translate quickly to work well with the other members? Do you think historically, from what you can tell, adding too many pieces on the Oline or WRs needs a year to translate on the field. What do you think about the coaches and how they are doing? Any number of things... but give your opinion without saying people shouldn't have one. You don't like to play darts? Who doesn't like to play darts?

dollars 2 donuts Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 (edited) It's too early to start a discussion on starting a discussion of whether it is too early to start a discussion on what will happen during the season. However...11-5...is not a discussion. Edited April 5, 2019 by dollars 2 donuts 2 13 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillies Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Jack — relax. Get busy with the facts. No zodiacs or almanacs, No maniacs in polyester slacks. Just the facts. Gonna kick some gluteus max. It’s a parallax — you dig? You move around The small gets big. It’s a rig It’s action — reaction — Random interaction. So who’s afraid Of a little abstraction? Can’t get no satisfaction From the facts? You better run, homeboy — A fact’s a fact From Nome to Rome, boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills Blog Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Couldn't agree more. I got crucified for posting a roster projection. It was unreal. I keep a running roster projection on my phone all offseason. Forgive me for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Rants traditionally come when we're blowing game after game or getting blown away game after game. Since we're seriously hoping for better times (and results) this season, a rant in the off season is probably appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoTier Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 OP, maybe the reason that there isn't more serious discussion on TSW is because many posters who disagree with "the company line" -- that the Bills winning the Super Bowl under the current regime is fore-ordained -- don't post here much because they don't wish to be continually insulted by the team cheerleaders who defend every move the Bills make, no matter how egregarious, even to the point of making up wild stories (like the one that Beane actually ran the Bills 2017 draft despite being a member of the Carolina Panthers organization). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
