Hopefully everyone had a great day and had true reflection on the state of football in Buffalo. Reading the threads during the game yesterday, I truly felt empathy toward the fan base here. I know the authors of the many comments from misguided and over jealous legion of true Bills fans. My hat is tipped toward each of you but we must understand our long- term strategy as an organization. The coaching staff and front office must address the fan base with a win now mentality. This is a business and they have to sell tickets. It is a blue collar fan base not filled with millionaire like other locales. With that said, McDermott and Beane have a long term strategy and the Beane’s first goals was to acquire a fanchise quarterback. Anyone that paid attention to rumblings from obd , that could connect reference points, knew Allen was there quarterback. As revealed in October from back channels, the number one pick circled on their draft board was Josh Allen. That is why the lead up to the draft was so anti climatic to me but I throughly enjoyed the hundreds of posts on board about what quarterback we would chose. Next we knew (I hope you need) Dennison was done and despite all the hype surrounding our next c would be, the reference points all pointed south to Alabama which also came from New England. Brian Daboll was mentioned on this site but the author was shamelessly ridiculed but we made the same choice.We did offer Mike Tice the offensive line, too bad he turned us down. That would have been huge! This will be addressed before the end of year. Castillo will be gone. But as you can see, we have two major pieces in place. Quarterback and offensive coordinator. We drafted our middle linebacker and next year, we will add the center. We must be strong up the middle. I think that is enough to digest for tonight but I will continue to add commentary on our long term strategy.
Beane took a chance on on the maligned corner from Indy, on very short line. Look for Phillip Gaines to be there shortly. Bad idea in locker room too.
Terry and Kim are such astute business people: I don’t buy their stadium press releases
Tiger your analysis is correct, don’t be shy
