AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I'd love to curse Barnwells entire lineage, but it seems a well thought out and researched opinion with hard numbers to back up his assertions. I understand the homer crowd will lose their minds over it though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No "splash" signings and half the analysts think Allen is Jamarcus Russell, so here we are with these articles. It shows A) It's time to put up or shut up for this team and B) Journalists are lazy. We're building a team. I'd rather have a massively upgraded roster in terms of being complete, with depth, than have thrown a bunch of money at Le'Veon Bell and CJ Mosley. Josh Allen has all the weapons necessary to change the Josh Allen narrative amongst his haters this year. Quote In terms of journalists being lazy.. They don't seem to care about the Roberts, Kroft, Feliciano, Nsehke, Spain, Morse, K Johnson, J Brown, Beasley signings as much as they do 2 or 3 names they recognize. Bingo. even we Bills fans must admit the offensive line is nowhere near even settled as to whom is starting where in view of Morses' health being an issue much less battle tested and proven. So Defensively Yes this team seems stacked. Offensively while key additions to the WR ranks were added the O-line is still a major question mark. Key word is UNPROVEN. And to expect media to give them a pass based on conjecture with what they also consider an unproven Josh Allen to boot yep that would be a stretch..this type of article shocks me zero. I'll join the "show me the baby" chorus on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I wanted to say but you said it better than I could. I think you should take that journalists job. You did a much evaluation than he did.

Unfortunately many homers will feel offended if everyone doesn't agree and acknowledge improvements made to the roster and possible success. Same old song and same old solution. Win!

I understand the homer crowd will lose their minds over it though What it seems like to me is a typical lazy analysis focused on many of the wrong factors and always taking the negative view, with a faulty premise. Consider that “10 worst teams” puts the Bills right back at 6/10. There is no logic to that at all. Your homer barb is insulting and just as lazy. Most people who are seriously following this team, fans or not, and looking beyond the “well, it’s the Bills” conventional wisdom would be very surprised indeed if the Bills manage only 6 wins, barring unforeseen disastrous injuries, etc. Try not to break a leg climbing onto the bandwagon when this looks appropriately silly by mid year.

EasternOHBillsFan Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I'm betting heavy on the Bills in Week One. This sort of press is the ideal for the Bills, who will shock the Jets right off the bat and send all of the pundits into a tailspin. It's a prime moneymaking opportunity and I'm not going to miss out. No game play for LeVeon Bell and just some practice for a guy who hasn't played in a game in over a year? Missing two starting LBs? No real WR1? Offensive line issues? Gase is their HC? CHA CHING. Screw ESPN. Screw Cowherd. Buckle up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mock a person’s appearance because you don’t like what they said. I guarantee most posters here look closer to Barnwell than they do Brad Pitt.

If I bet when I was in my homer phase, I would be very broke. If anything you bet the other team the Bills are playing for an amount you be willing to pay for a Bills W.

Yeah the guy had his hands full but he was the bright spot on a dysfunctional under talented rest of the line So true. Here is a link to last years ESPN Power ranking with playoff %. I'll just list a few of the doozies. 1. Had JAX as the best team in the AFC South, they finished dead last. 2. They had CHI as the worse team in the NFC North (overall rank of 24, 12% chance of playoffs). CHI won the division over the Packers and Vikings which they had ranked the 4th & 5th best teams in the league. 3. Colts were ranked 25th, 2 behind the Bills. It's just writers guessing at a list. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/23591971/2018-nfl-season-stat-record-playoffs-predictions-football-power-index-projections Edited August 22, 2019 by ColoradoBills 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't bet on the Bills that often at all... but when I do, I rarely lose. The line will be extremely favorable, but I'm betting straight up on the moneyline for added value. That's where the money is and I'm playing it. I never mix my Bills fan status with betting and fantasy football unless there is a prime opportunity to take advantage. Don't believe? OK then, that's you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bills Blog Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I laughed out loud when I saw the thread title, because I knew that we were included in the "10 worst teams." Laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
