I'm sick of having to watch guys named Kelly, Thomas, and Reed just to catch a glimpse of success. I'm sick of chasing ghosts. I'm ready to watch a consistently contending, legitimately playoff caliber team. I'm ready to see competent quarterbacking, top 5 defenses, and 10 to 12 win seasons. I'm ready for All-Pro nods and prime time games. I'm ready to stand in line with 75,000 rowdy lunatics to get into the gates for a home AFC Championship game. I'm ready to fly to Buffalo when the Bills win it all and take part in a week of celebration and fandemonium the likes of which the sports world has never seen. I'm ready to cast off the stink of 50+ years of mediocrity and finally feel the jubilation of rooting for a well-run, winning franchise. The worm's got to turn sometimes, man. It's got to.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 After the last 3 seasons if you compare it to when Rex came in with a new QB I’m actually feeling a bit better overall. The Oline has always been called questionable for a long time so to me it’s the sos. The defense should be better with who we retained and gained. Short answer Optimistic.
DCBongo Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 After last year, optimistic! September might change that.

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 I don't have high expectations for the 2018-2018 season, but I am optimistic for the future. 4

Add in a difficult schedule with too many road games early, I don’t feel good about this season. i do, however, feel pretty good that the future is optimistic as I think Kim believes in the management team and will give them at least a few years to evolve their ‘process’. Agreed overall. I'd slip starting DB up to above standard (with white being a star, and Davis being unknown but hopefully returns to star), although I could see overall, including depth, it being standard. 2

It’s a question mark after Tre’Davious-and he could have a sophomore slump. Seems every team has at least one very good CB, so I see us League Standard there.. Also, our TE’s are Standard -but maybe due to Tyrod.. 1
Epstein's Mother Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 I'm hoping for something positive to come out of this season. It's all about 2019 for me.

Makes sense when you think about the possible sophomore slump and the lack of depth If Davis returns to 80% of his former self and white is 80% of last year's play then I could see above average. Star would be Jax obviously or the old legion of boom. 1

I’m crabby without football The Bills may hurt my heart sometimes but they make me proud to call myself a Buffalonian and they always have 716- who are you kidding, you're always crabby. Just kidding bud. I actually like most of you're posts, even the one I may respectfully disagree. Enjoy you're Sunday with the family. Football will be here soon enough. As far as the Bills, I'm still optimistic we will be better than all the talking heads at ESPN state. After last year, people should remember these guys write us off every year. Screw them. 3 1
Infinitum Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 I feel like they will be worse this season than last, no playoff's. 2
MJS Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 The Bills are my favorite football team. That's how I feel about them. 2

Short answer Optimistic. ...why not?.....two solid back-to-back drafts (McBeane & his gang (1st year) and McD get A-).......guys returning from injury.....solid foundation and position (sure, "on paper" so far)....cleaned up the cap mess and have $85+ mil to spend in 2019, which McBeane will do wisely (not a "big splash guy" IMO).......beat the odds and the schneid to finish at an unanticipated 9-7 last year......despite all of the newness, changes, etc., why not be optimistic about .500 ball being attainable?.... 1
MiltonWaddams Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 I feel great. They are my favorite team in all of sports and join my myriad of reasons to wake up every day. Will they be good? I'm not a prognosticator, but I sure do love the look of this defence and am expecting the O to struggle unless the O-line far surpasses our expectations. The WR's can run routes and there's hope with some speed picked up in the draft, the possible emergence of Reilly, Streater's return and the KB getting more time to gel and understand the complete offence. My expectations are 6-10, my hopes are 16-0 for the Senator
skibum Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 I had a fragile confidence until both Wood and Richie went away. Now I'm not feeling so good about their chances.

If, by “worse”, we are talking about a slightly inferior record and no playoffs, I’m actually OK with that.... as long as we see progress on defense and encouraging signs regarding our shiny new QB and LB. Use FA and the draft next year to solidify both lines (especially offensive) and get some weapons. It’s a “P Word”. 1
