Opinion Poll: The 2014 Bills

[Buffalo Barbarian]

I'm pissed, wish we made the playoffs, happy for the improvement, not hopeful with our offense and QB

[hondo in seattle]

Agree with hondo except QB. Who you going to get? Pickings are poor from college or free agency. Use a 5th or 6th for a shot from college and hope EJ has learned a little..

 

That's the big challenge. We might just have to keep Orton because the alternatives may be even weaker. Hopefully, we'll build a better team around him.

[Rob's House]

They were a disappointment but my overall outlook on the season will be effected by Sunday's outcome.

[8-8 Forever?]

we'll see. If they show Hughes the $$ and he leaves anyway (see: Chad Reinhart, Jarius Byrd, Jason Peters et al) , that will tell me a lot on the mood in the locker room. he is my barometer this offseason

 

essentially, I believe until til proven otherwise that this team cannot get much beyond 8-8. b/c the best in the prime of their careers will not come to the Bills at any price. management, coaching or players, the Bills get the very young (watkins/gragg/hackett)and the too old/pretty much washed up or Buffalo native cronies (the entire front office+/Orton/Graham/Legursky) types who will not kill you but will not get you to the promised land either. plus their are no Kellys in the draft for us. plus due to the low end management team you draft a Spiller, hire a Marrone, etc. Tough to win 2 out of 3 with this setup. its like the local rugby team. great guys , but not going anywhere

 

Maybe Pegula can throw a ton of money at it and turn it around, we shall see. What's another $10m when you're already $1B in the hole?

 

We shall see... another run for the bus game 16 and anonymous offseason for the "shadow franchise of the NFL" begins...

All of the above.

[Niagara Bill]

We found a great defence and can continue that with Kiko back and Brown experience and Hughs back.

We concentrated on Special teams in the off season and it showed but it will require concentration again to keep the spark

Our offence is bad and no matter what we do we can only have marginal improvement next year without a QB...

no QB...no playoffs. The only other way to get to 11 wins is to have a running game that cannot be stopped which means both an

o-line makeover ( at least 3 players). and a great running back.( Spiller is not good enough)

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

1, 3, and 5.

[PolishDave]

I'm glad the team was at least in the playoff hunt in December.

 

I am pissed the playoff run ended with a piece of crap performance against the lowly Raiders. (typical Bills choke job when they had me believing they weren't that team anymore)

 

I am optimistic that the defense will be reasonably good again next year no matter who coaches them.

 

I am very pessimistic about the chance that the necessary changes will be made to fix this offense. (primarily being bringing in new offensive coaching at minimum)

[Jauronimo]

PPP+PPP=PPP

I've you seen you post something like this in multiple threads and the shoutbox so I'll take the bait. What are you talking about?

[Brandon]

For the most part, it was just the same old Bills. They had a great year defensively, but squandered it with one of the more miserable offensive performances in the last several years.
