Roundybout Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 Sorry but everything sucks, there is no hope, Pegula sucks, Buffalo Sucks, everything is bad. Nothing will get better. /sarcasm 1
MDH Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 The difference being that the Eagles started to have success a year after they drafted their QB. Said QB isn't even on the Bills' roster yet and who knows how he'll pan out once he is. Also the Philly D wasn't absolutely horrible in 2016. They had a single game where they allowed more than 30 points. The Bills, personnel wise, are so far from fixing things I'm not sure McDermott and Bean will last long enough to see their vision finished. So yeah, maybe some of the criticism of McDermott isn't fair but the Bills aren't turning things around as quickly as the Eagles. That's just wishful thinking. 1
Houston's #1 Bills Fan Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 Yep, Carson Wentz.....big difference

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 Took their lumps with a rookie and purged bad contracts post chip. Had some better pieces in place too.
Strethor Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 Carson Wentz and Gym Shorts just crown them already
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 The point is here, knuckleheads, YOU MUST DRAFT A QB. They need to spend whatever it takes to get one. And then we as a fanbase need to endure WHATEVER happens with that rookie under center. 1

Helps to have a motivated all-pro DT. They have another young corner waiting til 2018 to start, and some solid pass rush. They added some free agent wide receivers and were able to move Matthews. theyre built to win under wentz rookie contract.

It's amazing how quickly the Eagles were able to fix the Chip Kelly disaster. Some other teams should take notice.

They spent a lot of picks on a qb... but remember they also dumped bradford for a huge return

TheFunPolice Posted November 21, 2017 Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Vikings are the new Texans... Solid team without a real QB On the topic of the Eagles, it's fun to see new teams rise with young QBs. That's the whole idea. Edited November 21, 2017 by TheFunPolice

And then we as a fanbase need to endure WHATEVER happens with that rookie under center. Gotta agree here. Get the qb and start building around him. This team is bad on both sides of the ball with no speed. Anywhere. At all. Tyrod shady and Thompson are the fastest players on the team. You need game changers on offense that can take it to the house on any given play.
