Beast Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 If McDermott had built one of the greatest college teams ever, it might be easier to trust him. Our coach is coming off leading the 21st ranked defense, worse than the "awful"Rex defense. I want to believe but it's really hard at this point. Like I said, people are acting like they are breaking up a juggernaut.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Like I said, people are acting like they are breaking up a juggernaut. Bills fans are used to the warm 7-9 blanket
C.Biscuit97 Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Like I said, people are acting like they are breaking up a juggernaut. Right, since they didn't make the playoffs, they should give away talent like Sammy.
dubs Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Bills fans are used to the warm 7-9 blanket Haha. Right? Â People need therapy here. The Bills are trading marginal talent for other marginal talent. Let's re-evaluate in a couple year.
Rico Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Like I said though....he isn't exactly breaking up the 85 Bears. Â I don't know if this will work or not but I am certainly interested. Agreed. A whole lot of underachievers (for whatever reasons) are gone. None of these players were rock solid or untouchable, all were questionable. When in doubt, ship them out!
C.Biscuit97 Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Bills fans are used to the warm 7-9 blanket 5-11 will be so much cooler.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 5-11 will be so much cooler. You know what would be best? 2-14!
Beast Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) Right, since they didn't make the playoffs, they should give away talent like Sammy.Why is it so hard to come to grips with that they had no intentions on extending Watkins? Sammy certainly is talented but the best ability is availability. Â It's not like Jordan Matthews is chopped liver. You'd think they came out and announced they decided to play with 10 players on offense after those trades. Edited September 2, 2017 by Binghamton Beast
C.Biscuit97 Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 You know what would be best? 2-14! I agree 100% but he was extremely stupid to sign Tyrod back. We are going to end up at 5-11 and get the Losman of this good qb class.

Beast Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Maybe it's just me but I see this as a rebuild on the fly more than a tear down. I will be shocked if the Bills don't at least achieve last years record.
jumbalaya Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 This is what a tank looks like. Small fire at first then the barn is ablaze. Â The Clay trade look as as bad as the Watkins trade. Â Why ttrade your #3 corner for a returner? Â A 7th rd pick is worth Zero.
McBean Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Â I hate to take this "there," but had Whaley been able to choose his own HC, rather than have they Ryan Bros. shoved down his throat - he'd likely have been in the running for exec. of the year. I just busted out laughing. Whaley exec of the year? Lmao he was awful. Completely awful.
C.Biscuit97 Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 I just busted out laughing. Whaley exec of the year? Lmao he was awful. Completely awful. Yeah, he didn't make blockbusters like Sammy for EJ Gaines!!
Augie Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 I hate to take this "there," but had Whaley been able to choose his own HC, rather than have they Ryan Bros. shoved down his throat - he'd likely have been in the running for exec. of the year. Sadly, we will never know what would have happened had he been allowed to pick his own coach. I didn't hate Whaley, in fact thought he had a good eye for talent, but he always had to compromise with a HC (including in the draft room). A lot of this was handled less than ideally, but I'll just keep looking forward. At least now we have people who seem firmly tied together and on the same page - so we know who to credit and who to blame.
dubs Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Yeah, he didn't make blockbusters like Sammy for EJ Gaines!! Was that the trade? Could've sworn there was more too it than that. 🤔
Beast Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Yeah, he didn't make blockbusters like Sammy for EJ Gaines!! Aren't you in the least bit intrigued with what is going on?
Buffalo Boy Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 Right, since they didn't make the playoffs, they should give away talent like Sammy. Where are we going to get those 430 yards this year?
RevWarRifleman Posted September 2, 2017 Posted September 2, 2017 young talent is what will essentially be the "core" of this team. there is something there that did not gel with what the coaching staff/front office believe that core should be made of. whether it be skillset, motivation, love of the game, personality, work ethic,...who knows? but they are definitely rebuilding this team. hopefully when the dust settles, there will be a steady foundation that will last for years to come. Agree here. I think they're looking for a certain attitude, and feel they can instill that attitude better with picking "their own" people.
