bearstobills Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Hodgins will be better than Davis Zach Moss was a great pick The Diggs extension was a mistake (???)

JerseyBills Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) I thought for a year + that Marquez Stevenson would be a steal and have a huge impact Going back, thought EJ Manuel would be a stud Rex Ryan was our savior The list goes on, I'm optimistic with everything Bills and in life in general I did love the Allen pick. His pro day won me over and was so happy we got him Finally we have a powerhouse team and the AFC is absolutely loaded but I still feel the 2023 SB Champs will be the Bills.

eball Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 If you are a true “fan” and not just a casual observer of your team you are always going to be optimistic and hope for the best — and obviously many of those hopes will not be realized. The definitions of fan and fanatic suggest that this exercise is a positive one — being an ardent, uncritical admirer. I often wonder if those who piss and moan about everything and bash players and coaches are actually fans at all, or if criticizing the team simply gives unhappy people an outlet for releasing their pent up frustrations. As a fan I’ve hoped and wished for many good things to happen for the Buffalo Bills. More often than not I’ve wound up disappointed. When you know you can’t control a situation, however, you don’t let it impact your life in negative ways. My most embarrassing Bills opinion ever is that for a moment I thought OJ’s son might have committed the murders and OJ was covering up for him. THAT’s how much of a fan I am.

I'm the same way but I do believe alot of the negative guys are true fans, and I can see why the negativity after the drought years and having horrific results in big games but I'm just wired to be optimistic.

BarleyNY Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) In his rookie season I thought the Bills were going to ruin Allen by starting him behind a trash OL.

finn Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 J.P. Losman just needed to develop. Leif Larsen would dominate at DT. Corbin Lacina would be the answer at guard. Josh Allen was JaMarcus Russell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The conclusion was that his hand usage isn’t good enough. That’s a must for consistent success because his arms are too short and he’s too light to win in other ways. He’s got to beat the OL with his initial quickness or he’s done on that rep. Thus the inconsistency we see from him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corta765 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 -EJ Manuel was a franchise QB, I bought it hook line and sinker -Should've drafted Rosen and Allen would be a massive flop if they did draft him. I was so mad when they drafted Josh I left the draft party we were at -I once wanted Brandon Weeden -In 2021 I wanted Hyde gone after season as I thought his skills were down as he missed a few big plays... then proceeded to INT vs NE playoffs and yeaaaa -I thought Marrone was going to be BB 2.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddaryl Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) none of these are embarassing opinions... As fans we all hope for the best and let it play out. MOST Fans have the ability to see what the reality is after 1/2 a regular season and reshape their opinions from that point. Embarassing would be the people who never gave Josh Allen a chance to at least prove himself when drafted... I was fearful of JA when we drafted him, because very very few college QBs had any real succes in the league with compeltion %'s under 60%.... I did not get upset I did not proclaim Allen to be bust... I simply accepted he was our QB and hoped for the best.... Before we even got to the 1/2 way point of his 1st season I saw something that gave me hope and from there it became more and more obvious he was worthy.... BUT I would never recall my initial feelings about Allen embarassing... And I am never married to my initial opinions... got to let things play out Edited June 19, 2023 by ddaryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What a Tuel Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) I was guilty of "wrong Josh" bc I always thought we took the "raw talent, undeveloped" guy over the guy who had it altogether and thought we did it once again trying to outsmart everyone else. The Jets drafting Darnold too when we had all the fantasies of moving up too made it worse. So very glad I was wrong. 7 minutes ago, ddaryl said: none of these are embarassing opinions...

Beck Water Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) Probably Josh Rosen for me. I was a "wrong Josh"er. And, I was wrong! I also thought drafting Sammy Watkins for EJ Manuel at QB was a reasonable move, like drafting AJ Green for Andy Dalton - Green was so good he kind of "made" Dalton as a QB. But, it turned out EJ Manuel was no Andy Dalton. BUT - I was totally correct that we should NEVER have traded Darryl Lamonica!!!!!!!!
