One of those schmucks had Allen at like 27 and Rosen at like 15. Yeah I enjoy that podcast but their takes on Allen compared to darnold are tough to listen to.

atlbillsfan1975 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 People know the end is coming for NE. Prisco is searching for the next teams bandwagon to jump on. NE fans and Boston fans have always been ‘look at us’ fans. When their teams don’t win they grab attention for jinxed and cursed when their teams do win they rub it in. When Boston and NE goes back to having not winning we will hear about it. Fact is they just aren’t content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hemma Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Brady's two game combined passer rating against us last year was 72.74, so he didn't dismantle us. I think he is about to become average, but with their run game and D, they are still the 2019 team to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrymessenger Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 11 hours ago, Buffalo_Gal said: Buffalo Bills will win AFC East in 2020; contend for Wild Card this season, says Pete Prisco Honestly? I think it is a reasonable take. I've had the same thought. I can see where this is going without any unexpected injuries, and contending for a playoff spot this year, winning the division in 2020 would be about right. This is the correct answer IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Thrill Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 13 hours ago, HOUSE said: Getty Images MIAMI, FL - DECEMBER 02: Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills leads the team on to the field prior to the game between the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills at Hard Rock Stadium on December 2, 2018 in Miami, Florida. (Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images) By Ryan Talbot | rtalbot@nyup.com Maybe next year has been a phrase uttered by Buffalo Bills fans for years. For many years, it referred to the Bills simply making a return to the playoffs. Sean McDermott was able to end the Bills’ playoff drought in his first season as head coach so now the phrase could be used to talk about Buffalo ending New England’s reign atop the AFC East. The Patriots have won the division for 10 straight years and 15 of the last 16 seasons. Could their historical run be coming to an end in the near future? CBS Sports’ Pete Prisco believes that is the case. https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2019/05/buffalo-bills-will-win-afc-east-in-2020-contend-for-wild-card-this-season-says-pete-prisco.html It is funny how old man Prisco has turned in the directions of the Bills.

hondo in seattle Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I really don't care what Prisco says (he's not any smarter than we are) but anyone watching how Beane has been managing the cap would conclude: * 2018 was a Cleanse-the-Cap year. * 2019 is Rebuild Year 1 * 2020 is Rebuild Year 2 Beane set himself up to have lots of picks and money this year, and lots of cap money again next year. It looks like he's betting big on 2020. The open question is how wisely he spends his draft and cap capital. So far, I like what I'm seeing but it's all speculation at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forward Progress Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I never liked the way Prisco criticized our team, but unfortunately, he was usually right about our team being uncompetitive. (He didn’t say it as nicely as that) Like most of us here, he sees capable GM building a winning roster with a franchise QB and a capable coach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I'm not writing off the Cheatriots just yet but when the wheels come off an old QB, bad things happen quickly. They have been the masters of creating mismatches with opposing defenses. Gronk was a big part of that. I expect them to use a strong run game to keep teams in their base defense to create their mismatches that way. Brady doesn't seem to have the big play ability that he used to have but he is still very accurate in the short to medium range passing game.

Logic Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) To the people saying that Pete Prisco has always been a Bills hater: I don't see it that way. He HAS openly criticized the Bills a lot over the past 20 years, but they've almost always deserved it! Think of the amount of bad GMs, coaches, draft picks, and players that came through Orchard Park the past couple decades. Prisco was mostly RIGHT to criticize that stuff. It tells me that he actually probably knows what he's looking at a little bit! The fact that the Beane/McDermott regime and their decisions since taking over represent the first time Prisco has spoken highly of the Bills in years means he's just seeing what WE'RE all seeing as fans: The team is finally in the hands of competent people and is making smart decisions. Prisco a hater? Hardly. He just has working eyeballs. Edited May 18, 2019 by Logic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but keep in mind other teams are improving too, and can improve quickly. Cleveland added some top talent, the Jets added some top talent. Buffalo has good stability at the top and with the coaching staff, that is an edge that has to be made good on. I'd love a 1988 style run, I think it's a year off yet.
