I do think the hype is a little over the top for this season. They still need to stay healthy. A rash of IR injuries tends to trash any teams season. If your superior talent is not on the field, do you have more talent then everyone else?

wow, only made it to 45. yikes. yeah , the old OJ bills teams of the mid 70's

boy what is this board going to be like if a bunch of injuries hit and they go 8-8.... yikes

boy people are really getting way out over their skis this year. they better deliver a 10+ win season or else the sky will be falling

wow, 24, just a child, really. lay off the hype, let the kid play

and your problem with this is what again?

boy the offseason is slow

yeah, like 3/5 of the O line goes on IR in September... that's what I call "something's wrong".. that'd do it yeah I get that its a fan board with lots of season ticket holders, but with that schedule and last year being an injury free fluke occurance, people are way out over their skis at this point

it begins

no offseason, no OTAs, will not help his progress. he'll be better than last year, assuming the O line is healthy , yes. how much better, hard to say. heavy travel schedule, better opponents than last year. we will see. every season is different. Bills fans need to be careful about reading the press on this team too much. lets just hope there is a season to watch

they won't , we will need to beat them. pretty simple formula. Just win the division, that is the goal. get a home playoff game or games. anything can happen then, this team travels pretty well

Pats have to play the same very tough schedule we play this year, so I'll take Josh over Stidham in that situation. Stidham will see defenses the likes of which he has never seen in live action and we'll just see how he does. Josh is ready now, Stidham hasn't even played a game yet. Not very concerned.

love the Haynesworth comparison. I am in D.C. and what a joke he was after Snyder paid him to come to the Redskins.

hey peeing in the sinks was the way 30 years ago

worked for me

The offensive roster is much better this year, plus Josh is fixing his flaws, plus the playbook is familiar, so production will increase. All part of the process. Will he be Johnny Unitas? probably not. Lets just go win the Division and go from there.

those guys were drafted to fit specific roles in Rex's 3-4 defense, Shaq as the run game edge setter 3-4 end, Ragland as the big banger inside LB. Can't remember what Washington was drafted to play, the first two were for a defense that was completely ripped out when McBeanes came in. Ragland was suddenly way too big and slow to play LB in McD's 4-3, so he was shipped to KC's 3-4 (that worked out pretty well for him) and Shaq was no 4-3 pass rushing end, although he evolved enough to get a big FA deal. So it all goes back to the hiring of Rex, which was about the worst thing Pegs could have done.

Agreed. Although Murphy played big in Houston. I really think that was the motivation behind the Diggs deal , the window is probably the next 3 seasons, maybe the next 4. But they are really just roster building for the next 4-5 years and beyond. This roster will be strong for 4-6 years. They did it right. They have cap, a strong roster and Allen for 3 years more at least. Gotta like it.

Clowney = shiny toy. McBeanes don't do "shiny toys" . Pass. You have the roster right now to win the Division. Go get Milano, Tre and your own guys signed. Go win the Division!!

no team is a lock. if 3/5 of the starting O Line goes down with IR injuries, if Josh blows a knee , etc. your season is Over. But yes, if they are nearly as healthy as they were last year, this is a 10 win+ team, sure.

this is the correct view IMO. stick to the process, make them financially viable and highly competitive every year, if you do that the playoffs will take care of themselves plus a SB appearance or two will happen as well, and maybe you win one every so often. That's just good management and this is the first time since Polian we've had that. Trust the Process. Draft well, scout well and sign your own first. Love the way they have adapted to the non- off season by signing FAs that already know the systems in place. That is just f ing smart.

No more old guys. Trust the Process. Draft, Develop, Sign your guys. Unless they are young in their prime and not overpriced (eg. Diggs). No old shiny toys, Beane.

McBeanes killing it as usual. Trust the Process. The wins will come.

yeah might as well shut down the world every flu season from now on

the national narrative is starting to change a little. takes time. and wins.
