"That's not the bar, what happened this year. The bar is much higher. The floor was set with the success that this team had. Kind of really having to dig deep and especially not knowing where the salary cap is gonna fall is going to be a big job for these guys because the bar has been raised for previous years like I said. It's going to be a lot of tweaking, a lot of impact and understanding where we're going to be with our team, our salary. Those are things I leave up to other people. But I know the expectation is pretty high right now as the standard which we're going to be moving forward."

Makes you wonder why it's so damned difficult for them to do that with the Sabres. The two franchises are being run completely differently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course everyone wants the team to be better and take the next step toward a SB. But making a "raising the bar" proclamation accomplishes nothing. Absolutely nothing Should Beane and McDermott be on edge if we "only" go 11-5 next year and just win one playoff game instead of two? Will she start screaming for organizational realignment and start trimming back on scouting and coaching staff? SMFH Kim Pegula - the best thing you can do is stay out of the way. That includes public statements on team expectations. 1 7 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg S Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Kim is just stating what everybody knows. Expectations for the Bills will be extremely high with the fanbase and media. I think Beane, McDermott, the team will meet that challenge. This team is setup to compete for and win a Super Bowl this upcoming season. The pressure is really on Beane to have a good FA period and draft. I believe FA starts next week on the 17th if I am not mistaken. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 This is an awesome statement from an owner! Getting to the AFCCG is the floor. This is what you need from a CEO/leader, a clear mission statement setting the goals for the organeyezayshun. You go, Kim Pegula! 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately Beane has been adept at saying the right thing. Polian couldn't contain his opinions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good decision IMO and I still see this attitude on this board that it is okay to bash women working for Bills on this board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Love the all-in sentiment shown in her comments, making it clear this regime has the full array of non-meddling owner resources at their disposal to make the vision a reality! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills will be playing under a different kind of pressure next year; that of raised expectations. Think ‘89 Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what Kim's statement accomplished. Not sure why the anger. Take a deep breath, realize how far the Bills have come in the last four years, let that smile start to develop, and lighten up Francis. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
