TigerJ Posted January 14, 2018 Posted January 14, 2018 The Bills are in so much better shape now than a year ago, it's like we have moved into an alternate universe - seriously. We made the playoffs with a first year first time head coach. A year ago, we weren't sure what it would look like but had to figure we would have a brand new offensive and defensive scheme. We had a terrible salary cap situation. On to of that we had a 17 year playoff drought and pundits suggesting Buffalo would win maybe 4 games. Now we have a head coach with a year under his belt. We'll be keeping the same defensive scheme, and will presumably be better at it. We ditched the OC who was not sufficiently effective. We have a bunch of high draft picks. The only thing that has not improved is the uncertainty at QB. We're a little more sure the future doesn't include Tyrod, but we don't know much more about it. By the way, welcome Bigstu. I won't say a thing about your command of the English language.

Read the terms of service just to make sure you know what is allowed and what is not. For starters, your post titles need to be more descriptive. 'Bills' says nothing about what your post is about. Yes, there are some tough guys on this board but they keep the board senile, something you will value if you stick around long enough. This is the best Bills discussion board, bar none. (Dont forget to bow to the founder and chief, SDS) ?

Coach Tuesday Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Every thread on the board should be merged into this one. Bill’s Thread.

I do believe that next year with a new QB and his surgery Jones will be much improved as well all the other receivers. Great Quarterbacks make receivers great. Just look at how Brady turns average receivers into stars. You can edit the title, just click the little "edit" button at the bottom of your post. Lose the apostrophe, gain some admirers.

"Bill"s" indicates something that belongs to Bill. If you were talking about something that belongs to the Buffalo Bills, it would be written as Bills' Well, that was my point but I didn't want to sound like a dick.

Didn't we learn most of this stuff in grammar school? Not saying we should be grammar and spelling Nazis (after all, I did just type "kinda" instead of "kind of") but I'm not sitting back when people write "common man" when they mean "c'mon man!"

Our own President can't speak English. We are letting kids graduate from COLLEGE (not even High School) who lack basic grammar skills. 40-60% of the THREAD TITLES (let alone the posts) on TSW are riddled with grammatical mistakes. I find it amazing that so many people think that gender-neutral bathrooms and safe spaces on college campuses are a bigger threat to our society than the widespread decline in basic reading, writing, and arithmetic.

I find it amazing that so many people think that gender-neutral bathrooms and safe spaces on college campuses are a bigger threat to our society than the widespread decline in basic reading, writing, and arithmetic. The thing I find fascinating with grammar is that, if you speak properly and clearly, grammar becomes much easier. You simply write as you would speak. For the most part, your grammar is going to be pretty good. I used to pride myself on my spelling ability growing up. It was something that came very easy to me. Generally, I just spelled things how I pronounced them. Now I find myself constantly questioning every friggin thing. It sucks. Grammar is something you should get better at with age because of years of perfecting it. American English is becoming more and more bastardized over time. If enough people keep screwing words up - they just add the new "bastard" version to the dictionary. Before you know it, all conversations are just one bastard talking to another bastard.

If we have another draft like last year and handle free agents right, we will not only be in the playoffs but ready to do something once we are there You joined 4 years ? Where have you been?
Livinginthepast Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 William's, Billy's, Billy Bob's, Bilbo's, Guillaume's, Guillermo's, .....that's about it.
