26CornerBlitz Posted September 14, 2018 Author Posted September 14, 2018 Tiki not respecting the process here.

Tiki is smart, and has the same opinion as a lot of smart Bills fans......as opposed to those homers who wear rose-colored glasses 24/7. Now, I do agree that optimism is good, but IMO realism is better. 1

The Pegulas are in over their heads, and it's rather obvious. Sad but true. Yeah, they kept the team in Buffalo, and that's great, but other than that, it's a dumpster fire. Can you list for me again the playoff teams from last year?
Fadingpain Posted September 14, 2018 Posted September 14, 2018 The fact that we are much worse than a playoff team this year comes as absolutely no surprise to anyone paying attention or who is into analytics. Every analytics expert in the country had the Bills as a league-leading regression candidate for this season, as I have been saying all off-season. It is common for teams in this league to jump way up or way down in quality in a single off-season. Happens all the time. 14 hours ago, John in Jax said: The writer's opinion is right on the mark, as many in this forum have also expressed very similar thoughts over the past week (including me).

I have been saying for a few years now that Terry Pegula is a very low information sports fan. The fact that he achieved a lot of success fracking and is the guy giving the orders at the Bills and Sabres does not suddenly render him a savvy, informed, sports fan. He needs very high quality people around him telling him the right things all the time if his teams are going to enjoy success. 1

In that regard how is Terry Pegula any different than the vast majority of NFL owners, or owners of any professional sports team? As far as the NFL isn't it really only Jerry Jones who actually played anything hear NFL caliber football? Yet Bills fans are critical of Terry over it.

Albany,n.y. Posted September 14, 2018 Posted September 14, 2018 17 hours ago, Billsflyer12 said: They used 6 1-3 round picks to draft 3 players, Allen, Edmunds and Harrison. Even if all 3 of those players are good for a rebuilding team with a ton of needs that is not smart. BUZZZZ WRONG. Without the QB, there is no such thing as a rebuild, it's just spinning your wheels. They used 3 picks, only 1 1st rounder to draft the QB, which means they only traded 1 other pick (the 3rd they got for Taylor) to move up to get Edmunds. As I've stated elsewhere, of the last 14 QBs drafted in the 1st round, 10 were acquired by trading up, so what the Bills did is typical for an NFL team in the 21st century. The only QBs not traded up for were by QB in need teams that picked 1,1, 2 & 3 by teams that were not trading down to let another team get a QB they wanted & needed. Even better, over the last 3 years, 10 out of the last 11 1st round QBs were traded up for. Cleveland is the only team that drafted a 1st round QB & didn't trade up, holding onto the #1 pick & drafting Mayfield this year. So 10 GMs are stupid and you're the smart one, right.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 14, 2018 Author Posted September 14, 2018 Just now, Doc said: No deflection. If Tiki knew how things turn out he'd still be on NBC. That's exactly what it is. How about addressing or countering the points he made?

I actually prance around in glee about thecAFLbchapionships. People keep projecting about this season and how bad the HC and GM are. Yet looking at actual objective criteria guess what? They got them to the playoffs their first year. I could care care less about what those outside the Bills fan base thinks about them. I've never even heard of this guy before. Why exactly should I care about his opinion? Talking about the source for the OP, not Tiki

Talking about the source for the OP, not Tiki Regardless of whether you heard of him or not does he or does he not raise any legitimate concerns or valid points is the question to ask. You seem to reflexively reject criticism of the Bills regardless of the source that shows a certain lack of ability to assess where the team stands or the direction for the future.

Critically. His criticism of not having a logical plan for the future flies in the face of drafting the QB and MLB you hope to have for years to come. 1
nedboy7 Posted September 14, 2018 Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) Drafting 2 players is planning for the future? 80 mil cap space next year. So what. You think it’s that easy to bring in top notch free agents. Especially to a team that might be the worst in the league. Edited September 14, 2018 by nedboy7

I dunno if there's context to this comment beyond what he just said, but I didn't find the point that drafting a MLB and QB to lead each side of the ball to be too off-base.
