Amaru523 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Soooo, no mention of our re-built offensive line that might actually open holes for our RB's and give our QB some valuable time in the pocket? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aristocrat Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I thought the colts and pats had an excellent draft. Along with us obviously. Chargers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Smith Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I think we should be ranked ahead of a lot of teams Imo. Especially Tenn and Baltimore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMIEBUF12 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I’d rather be the underdog and watch the very same writers after a Bills 5-0 or 4-1 start write in revisionist history how they knew all a long the Bills were solid and on their way up...GO BILLS!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyVanMiller Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 This team reminds me so much of the vibe that was around the 1988 Bills. Smart drafting and a cohesive plan in place. I don't care who in the national media believes, for the first time in a long time, I truly believe. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasMac Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Same thing every year unfortunately. Bills have been a middle of the pack team for too long. Until they make some consistent improvement this is what we're gonna keep seeing. They're going to turn some heads this year as they go 9-7. Next year will be the coming out party.

PromoTheRobot Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) The Patriots drafted a friggin' punter in the 5th. 11th rated G in the 4th. Rated 2nd best draft. WTF, seriously. Edited April 29, 2019 by PromoTheRobot 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) I'd rank us 20 right where Detroit is. Oliver and Ford will start immediately. If Knox and our current wrs pan out, JA will improve. Edited April 29, 2019 by LABILLBACKER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Kiper was hyping us up in the post draft show, and saying we had a shot to compete for the division. The other guys were laughing at him, and saying the Pats winning the division was the surest bet in the world “until they don’t.” I mean, if you’re a pundit and you plan to not predict a team’s demise or ascendance until it actually happens...what is your job, exactly? What value are you bringing? The Pats draft was okay. They had a dozen picks - they got a good WR and a couple of good defenders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Quite frankly, I’m shocked that a small market team who has averaged less than 7 wins per season for the last 19 years doesn’t get a ton of respect nationally. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billspro Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 These are tough to do. There are the top three teams, then 4-10 are pretty close, and 10-25 are pretty close. It would almost be better to do a grading system than a ranking system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I think the Bills are better than that, but I'm not going to complain. The enjoyment of watching them rise as they win games during the season will make the low ranking now worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Grundy Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 After the draft, I thought the Arizona and Cleveland would be Super Bowl bound? And, the hell with Todd McShay for dissing Josh Allen on ESPN yesterday. Kiper really stuck up for our guy and team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i get what you're saying. i'm just playing devil's advocate here) The Browns are the current media darlings thanks to Baker and OBJ. If and when Allen establishes himself as a good QB then we can expect the same kind of love. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
