greenyellowred Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 Like the Jeffersons, we are moving on up!! Best scenario for the next three weeks: put in strong efforts like the last two weeks to build a winning tradition with Josh Allen, but lose the games to get a higher draft pick. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2018/12/10/18134925/2019-nfl-draft-order-bengals-outside-top-10-49ers-jets-falcons-raiders 1.

ProcessYaDigg Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 I don't know how we're gonna outsuck SF, Arizona, and the Raiders. And let's be real, the Bills aren't playing to draft high. McD tries to get as much out of his players as possible to see what he's built and what he needs to do to add to it. Plus, we're gonna beat the Lions and Dolphins, so let's go ahead and get out of that mind set that we're gonna lose out. It ain't happening.

It looks like Baltimore not drafting in the money rounds actually got them a pretty good mobile Quarterback who can also pass. While in tanking mode McDermott started Nate Peterman pretty much indefensible. And, yet Baltimore looks playoff bound with real Coaching f and management and we look like McClappy was a limp little mat fish. We have management just not a Coach who’s ever worth a damn.

No its not...its the same thing we have been doing for 17 years Its time for something different 1

Watching the after video of fans who were completely demoralized and expected at least something. No fight to the mat fish McDermott whatsoever. So, now it comes down to team cohesiveness and the team gelling together which takes a year or two tops for even the most experienced Coaches and even the most talented. So did you smile as Peterman threw all those picks in blowout losses? You don’t exactly strike me as a fan just something to business to you.

Joeziehmer Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 So for all of the blowout losses and confidence as well as profitability margins it’s worth it for some fans. It’s not exactly inspiring confidence to go for the “money shot” when it takes time for draft picks and free agents to fit into the team chemistry and makeup. Which means now more of the same 7-9 or 8-8 without really seeing anything but glimpses on what could be. Just now, Dopey said: Let's see if it works for the Sabres 1st. Actually they are riding a five game losing streak with them Bruinsand my Boys Le Habs nipping at their heels.

It seems like a ton of teams are mediocre this year.
Doc Brown Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 Best case scenario is we're aggressive this offseason like the Bears were last offseason where they signed Robinson, Gabriel, and Burton to help Trubisky. They also bolstered their defense significantly by signing Mack and drafting Smith. 1
RiotAct Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 I wonder who the first team to draft a QB is going to be? 1
Success Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 I’ve never been a “let’s tank” guy, and wanted to win the last 2 games - but in a way, they worked out perfectly. Allen and the team were competitive and got good experience, but we’re still in position to get a real impact player. Things are shaping up well for next year if they can put another good draft together. 1

I don't expect Buffalo will be drafting in the top 3, but I do think they will be in the 4-6 range. They will lose to New England, and without run blocking, they will find it hard to beat Detroit or Miami. They could easily lose 2 games, and might lose all three. They will be without Matt Milano, and will be playing a 3rd or 4th string CB across from Tre White on defense. 1
billsredneck1 Posted December 11, 2018 Posted December 11, 2018 they need to close out on a high note and win the next 3. mcd take over the defense. demote juan and give daboll full control. fire crossman and promote interim....of course firing juan, crossman and culley after the last game. 22 minutes ago, RiotAct said: I wonder who the first team to draft a QB is going to be? who knows? but if it's a few spots lower than us, we could get an extra 2nd. tb, nyg, balt. or cincy? ya never know....

I don’t mind if we lose out As long as Allen keeps taking steps forward with his progression and learns from the mistakes that he’s making or will make in the next few games , the W’s right now ( IMO ) are meaningless UNLESS it’s a win because of Allen playing very well , as a fan of course I want to win every game , but let’s be honest would you be happy with a win ( let’s say ) because of a defense/or the Lions play like garbage and we get 5 turnovers BUT Allen looks terrible? The only Game I want to WIN this year and I don’t care how we win is against the pats***
