They went from 7-9 to 9-7, got worse in every team category, and were one of the worst playoffs teams in the last 20 years. I mean they bought themselves at least a 3rd year but settle down with how great that was last year.

They will have to replace essentially EVERY starter on offense going into next year aside from QB and LT. Their offensive staff is questionable to say the least and their decisions on offense have been awful to this point. Again why are people trying so hard to defend these guys? The one good thing they did offensively was draft a first round talent at QB and found an OK starter to this point in Dawkins. All we can do as fans is cross our fingers and hope they got it right with Allen and find some pieces on offense. If not they'll be out of here in a year or two and some other !@#$s will sell the Pegulas a bill of goods. That's what they had to do last year, including QB. They got unlucky.

Now we're going to qualify how good or bad we were when we made the playoffs?

This ain't personal or nothin but I can't believe I just heard a Bills fan use the phrase 'one of the worst playoff teams' to disparage them, without irony. Folks losing their minds. 1

Well, I'm not surprised you're struggling. Let me help you. Were we even remotely close to good with those people? Any of them? The only person on that list I'd be arguing we should have tried to keep was Bob Woods. Watkins was overpaid (from the moment he was drafted), Glenn did his best to guard the training table. Darby was average, Robey? Come on man. Have a little fortitude. 1

We were not a good team that got lucky. The 2014 and 2002? Teams were far superior but just were in a better conference. They definitely get another year. But Dick Jauron went 13-3 one year.

Well said. I loved making he playoffs. Great party and it was cool to see a playoff game with my team, as bad as that game was. But in a league seeing record scoring, we are averaging 132 yards passing! We should just give that a pass?

Roundybout Posted October 3, 2018 Posted October 3, 2018 I thought this was the worst Bills take I've ever seen, but I log on twitter and see someone having a legitimate discussion about Terry Pegula deliberately hiring bad people so he won't have to pay big money when we get good and win the super bowl. This fanbase, man.

We're both fans of the same team, I see you attack other Bills fans quite regularly, it's a poor reflection of who you are, not me. Robert Woods is good enough to be Jared Goffs #1 WR, don't think Allen could use him? Don't think we could use Sammy Watkins either? Good enough for Andy Reid and the Chiefs. Both good enough for two of the games brightest coaches and their young QBs. I want those guys for our young QB.

No. We should recognize they have short and long term goals. Short term they got hurt with Richie and Wood. They could and should have improved on their WR core and I still think they should get a vet like Anderson at QB to play or mentor. Long term? Next off season makes or breaks them. Draft well and get some good pieces in free agency and they win. If not? Looking for work.

Kareem Hunt is a nice piece as well. KC's offense is light years ahead of ours. Best TE in the league? Maybe the best tight end against single coverage. Swap the NE receiving core with KC and see what he does against constant double coverage. Booger is a dumb ass
