Larry Johnson has two incredible years, 1,700 yards each season. Then he broke down. Jamaal Anderson of the Falcons David Boston Josh Gordon had 1,600 yards in 14 games and has never been as good again Mike Turner in Atlanta died out quickly - I stand corrected, he had 3x 1,000 yard seasons Peerless Price Case Keenum Robert Griffin III Justin Blackmon could have been good.

You gotta be kidding me

Put him in the slot. And run the ball with someone else.

Not when you followup 9-7 with a 6-10 snoozer. Selling the same old story of hope, continuity and "progress"

I know that 3-point masterpiece needs to be put in a keepsake for all eternity.

The clock starts as soon the coach signs the contract.

Well the elder fans who criticize the younger fans sure have been proven right over the years haven't they?

Why even spend money to go to the games?

No eball - you should ask yourself why you feel the need to shame other fans for trying to have a standard for this team. This is professional sports, not a soup kitchen.

Reach for need and blow large amounts of draft capital because they covet specific players?

Then, we should treat them like the Bills. Call me when you're good.

Then guess what? The Culture excuse is long gone. McDermott has his culture. Now get some results.

The Sabres disgust me. As soon as the the expectations are raised with a 10-game win streak, they tucked their head into the shell and went down with a whimper. 86% chance to make the Playoffs at one point, down to less than 40% now.

What a load of baloney this is. All of it. This whole thread is the sad epitome of the failed Buffalo sports fans mentality. Trying to find any excuse they can to lower bar. To shame the rest of the fans for their lack of understanding and impatience. Frankly, I don't care how many times McDermott points out that he has seen it all and done everything. That he keeps a little notebook with him at all times, critiquing a players devotion to his lame process. The "process" is a fake, made-up word that he uses and the bobble-head fans lap it up. Doug Marrone had that arrogant, been there, done it all attitude as well. He hasn't won anything. Not in Philadelphia, not in Carolina, and not in Buffalo. Sorry Coach, you run a 1908 Harvard offense, and have been dead wrong on Nate Peterman, not once, but twice. You have a 15-17 overall record in Buffalo. What GM is going to say that continuous improvement is not the goal? His head is stuck in Carolina. 2019 is McDermott and Beane's third year in Buffalo. Not first. Third. I don't know how you come to that statement you made. They have their culture, they have their QB, they have their cap space, they have their Draft picks, they have the owner's backing. I'm sure Chris Brown will tell us about the importance of OTA's, John Murphy will have his fire-side chat with Kim Pegula with warm cookies baking in the oven behind them, Allen will talk some non-sense about not looking over his shoulder, that all players make the jump from Year one to Year two, we'll have Mark Kelso talk about the importance of continuity, and we'll have Jim Kelly tell us that we've found our franchise Coach and QB for the 7th time since 2000, but that's garbage. We've heard all of this before. When are we going to get results Shaw? The bar should be 10-wins and a legitimate, solid Playoff birth. The Jets have a new Coach, the Dolphins have a new Coach, Brady will be 42 next season. But not in Buffalo. You're the kid who doesn't get toys at Christmas. Instead we'll get a Coach talking about the importance of getting 31 year old LeSean McCoy "going" and a GM patting himself on the back for Tremaine Edmunds greatness, all the while Kyle Williams leads the charge. The real truth is Shaw, Kyle Williams would have been better as a Raven, or a Steeler, or a Patriot. He could have played in games that matter. But the Bills don't want better. They want to live in the past, live in their mental safe box of low expectations, always the cashier muttering to themselves about how unfair it all is.

7 wins is progress? 8 wins is progress? Geez, this fan base never changes. We were saying the same things when Dick Jauron was here. There will never be any real expectations in Buffalo.

So we’re just going to excuse a poor 2019 already? ‘Gel’ - a Bills fake made up fan word where magically individual poor NFL lineman suddenly are good when strung together as a group?

Sorry you don’t like it, but the Bills Super Bowl is always the Draft. Always hyping the future and making excuses for 6-win seasons. When are are we going to win 11-games Joe? When are we going to have a modern NFL offense? Where are our playmakers?

The fans have adopted the Bills mindset. Hopelessly compelled to sell hype and hope when presented with mediocre results.

2007 - Poslusny 2008 - James Hardy 2009 - Jarius Byrd 2010 - Torrell Troup 2011 - Aaron Williams 2012 - Cordy Glenn 2013 - Robert Woods/Kiko Alonso 2014 - Cyrus K 2015 - Ron Darby 2016 - Reggie Ragland 2017 - Zay Jones/Dion Dawkins Look at that list. Antonio Brown is much better than all those players. Hold onto those draft picks Bills fans, but I want to win someday.

Reading these comments, Bills fans have really worked themselves into a mindset where talent is never worth it. Everybody is a character risk, nobody is worth it. There is more loyalty for our Coach, than the expectation on the team to get great players in here. Outside of Andre Reed, OBJ would be the best WR to ever put on a Bills uniform.

Really? Like Chris Ivory is a make or break player. I’d like a whole new set of running backs Shady included. Being chained to 30-31 year old veterans is ridiculous.

I haven’t watched the last four Super Bowls. Patriots dominance is a reason, the hype is a reason, the rule changes are a reason, and frustration turning to indifference on why the Bills can’t field a competitive team year after year is a reason.

The Bills? Based on nothing but blind hope. The team with the longest Super Bowl odds for next year will have something to say about the AFC?
