I also laughed at Carolina for picking Cam Newton. Was confident he would suck. ...everyone is entitled to a "weak moment"......j/k...... 1

Logic Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 At the height of the Johnson - Flutie debate, I went to training camp. I was 12. It was my Birthday. I wore my Rob Johnson jersey. BECAUSE I was the only kid there with a Johnson jersey, amidst a sea of Flutie jerseys, and because it was my brithday...Bill Pucko from R News Rochester decided to make me the "camper of the day" and put me on that evening's news. He asked "So, young man, why do you have a Rob Johnson jersey on today?". I replied something to the effect of "I believe he is going to be the future of the Buffalo Bills!". Sure enough, it aired that night, on a loop, on R News. So yeah, there's archival footage of me on the news, in a Rob Johnson jersey, predicting that he'd be the future of the team. Woof! 1 1

jimmy10 Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 As a loud-mouthed Irish guy myself, I really liked Rex and truly thought he was going to turn things around for us.
billsfan5121 Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 I was pretty upset that we drafted Allen over Rosen, but for some reason (because he is a Bill), I like him more now. I thought for sure Trent was a future franchise qb, and when people knocked his arm strength, I would point to the one long throw to Evans against Miami in a snowy game in Buffalo. I think Trent had 4 TDS that game despite throwing less than 50% and 160 yards or so. I also thought TO would be a great weapon for Trent and both would have great seasons. I thought Losman was the next Favre. Strong arm, gun slinger mentality. I thought once healed, McGahee would be great. He had a decent 2004 season. Don’t remember much of 2005 or 2006 season though. Basically, I was wrong. I thought Fred Jackson took too many carries from Spiller. Yeah, I may get flamed for that one. I thought the NE game in 2011 meant we were playoff bound because a bad team couldn’t beat NE. I ignored the 4 INTs and still barely winning as a sign that it was an anomaly. I also thougt brady wouldn’t be the same after his injury. He probably got even better. I thought Watkins would be our Julio Jones type receiver (who I hear we may get according to the other thread). Who would’ve thought he be on 3 teams in 5 seasons. I thought Mark Anderson would get 10+ sacks opposite Mario. I also thought Merriman would resurrect his career here. I thought Ko Simpson and Whitner would give us the best safety tandem in the league for many years to come. Shall I go on? Basically, I apparently know nothing about football, would suck as a talent evaluator, and nobody should ever take my opinion to mean anything other than the opposite. 1 2

Further demonstrating that you are the most misnamed poster here. My sin: an oldie but a doozie. In 1988, I told someone that Robb Riddick was better than Thurman Thomas. 1

Woof! In a way, you were right. RJ was below-average but occasionally looked good enough to fool people into thinking he was competent. That pretty much describes the Bills for the 18 subsequent years.
#34fan Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 My 11 confessions are as follows: I confess that I was the author of the "Karlos is key" thread -because he would have been if he stayed mentally and physically healthy. (Also put that in the thread) I confess that I despised Fitz, Chan Gailey, and protested the Rex Ryan hire from minute 1. I confess that I didn't want Jim Schwartz initially, but was broken when he left I confess that I thought Tyrod was an excellent pickup, but not a long-term solution. I confess that I still have "what if" moments in regards to Brandon Kaufman, and Brad Smith. I confess that I have little faith in Brian Daboll's ability to: A) Groom a young QB. B) Field and coordinate an effective NFL offense. I confess that I wasn't impressed with McBeane's first Bills draft. I confess that I still root for Cardale. I confess that I think Drew Stanton is the best QB on Cleveland's roster. I confess that I think Stanford's Dave Shaw should be an NFL HC (possibly ours, -we'll see.) I confess that I did not want Allen in the first round. (Or any QB.)

GunnerBill Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 My biggest one is that I was convinced Shaq Lawson's handwork would more than compensate his lack of initial burst and make him a legimitate pass rush threat in the NFL. I thought Marquise Goodwin completely sucked. In Kyle Shanahan's offense he showed he was at least a capable player. I did like EJ the best of the 2013 QB class as well, although I didn't think any were great.

BuffaloRush Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 I was pumped when we signed Rex Ryan and thought he was going to turn the franchise around in 2015....Little did I know.
Bills4everNY Posted June 23, 2018 Posted June 23, 2018 I was happy and relieved when they signed Dareus to that megabucks multi-year contract.
