eball Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 Did I just see a Sully article linked on the front page of TBD? Of course I won't click on it, but the "preview" seems to suggest Sully thinks this team is "different" and will take a big step forward. We're screwed. 14

Gugny Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 I think it's a good year to be optimistic about the Bills. 6

Expand Its the 5th Horseman of the Apocalypse. Conquest, War, Famine, Plague, and in the back riding a Donkey is Sully being optimistic about the whole thing. 12

H2o Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) I too am optimistic. I have had a feeling this team would be special stirring for a while, going back to the beginning of FA. After 20 years I do believe our team is ready to make some noise. We will have balance and the defense is going to be more effective getting pressure on the QB which in turn will lead to more turnovers. The only thing that worries me right now is the depth at LB. Other than that I feel this is the best overall team we have fielded since the late 90's. Edited August 19, 2019 by H2o 1

Expand while I am no fan of Sully, I don't get what you are saying, he has been pessimistic for years and looking back at history, has he been wrong? I dont like him because he generally is a glass is empty (not half emtpy) type...total downer.

So maybe his optomism will be as well. Expand Well Jerry was moping all camp because he didn't have a negative story to latch onto. But then Morse got concussed and Jerry was happy again, questioning the front office skills of Brandon Beane for "ignoring the injury history of Morse out of desperation to make the playoffs because they are on some kind of hot seat from the Pegulas." Well the team seems to be thriving despite losing Morse for a few weeks. Apparently Beane was smart enough to sign enough capable backups in case guys like Morse are lost to injury. So there goes that Jerry conspiracy theory out the window. So now it looks like Jerry has given up and is willing to accept the Bills might actually be good now. Until the next bad thing happens anyway. It must be killing him.

I think most fans enjoyed having some optimism in the offseason and training camp, and Sully never could find much positive to write about. We had our share of good times mixed in with the bad so he could of let off the gloom pedal.... 1
May Day 10 Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 He has been negative, but frankly, that was the appropriate mind-frame with this organization. Just now they seem to be turning the corner into being a relevant NFL team for the first time in this millennium. 3

Da webster guy Posted August 19, 2019 Posted August 19, 2019 Thanks for not clicking on it. I won't either. It's the only way to make that old dog with fleas and rabies finally wander off for good.

When WGR goes to The Instigators this time of year, I have been going to many of the podcasts that have cropped up lately. Jerry could be a viable option to have on while I work around the lab.
