Bing Bong Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 IF THEY TRUST THE PROCESS. I figured it out. The process is a metaphysical force (like starwars) that influences free agents to join an inevitable juggernaut.. and I see a lot of midichlorians on.. Foster. 1

vorpma Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 31 minutes ago, Iverwig said: I get that the Bills will have plenty of money to sign free agents next year but if they don't show any signs of being able to win what makes the front office think they will be able to sign players. They have already shown they want players that fit their mold so that limits who they will look to sign. Not to mention they haven't shown they know what they are doing. You start Peterman the first game of the season and he stinks it up AGAIN, then you bring Allen in to start the second game but you don't sign another QB and keep Peterman on the roster. The receivers are the worst I have ever seen in the NFL which they should have seen that before the fans. The OL is horrendous. I just don't see many players wanting to come here next year and I can't see the team handing out guaranteed contracts like candy. I just don't see how the team is going to improve to much of anything next year and I'm afraid we will become the new Cleveland Browns. Somebody help to see what I am not seeing so I can have some hope for the future of my Bills. They have throughout history! Build a winner, pay, and take care of players! Please look at the 1984 - 1985 - 1986 seasons and stop making ridiculous posts!

Rock Pile Posted October 1, 2018 Posted October 1, 2018 It’s always been about the money. If Andy Dalton doesn’t throw that TD the drought continues. At best they finish 4-12 this year and gear up strong for free agency as well as the draft. We’ve finally got a GM, Head Coach and a QB; money will help to bring the other pieces. We need to raise the bar with regards to talent & expectations - Clay, Z.Jones, K. Benjamin or terrible! I’m trusting the process and knew that this year would be a step backwards. Think positive, we will get better. Go Bills!

The Cowboys made a huge trade to get them to the point of success, the Bills have no one of value to trade. Jimmy Johnson was a master mind of a coach I am not sure McD is on par with JJ.

I'm not sure what you're saying to me. I'm stating the Bills have a truckload of FA $'s and will have to overpay to get players to come here IF they want to come at all. I can't say it any simpler. Are you mad that the Bills will have to do that because I'm not trilled either, it's just the way it is.

This year is a lot of calculated frustration. This was worth repeating. Is anyone capable of looking beyond the end of their own nose. Today was ugly, but to me (if Josh is the guy) the future looks bright. QB is first and foremost, and this is a learning year....if he survives. Coming up is cap space and draft picks to brighten our future. I’m not going down that Eyore path. 1
