Sorry, that is just a lazy take. I didn't even realize those two had a show...really shows how relevant they are nowadays
Chuck Wagon Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I appreciate him saying it, but I'll be fired up when the Antonio Browns of the world are excited to come here, not the John Browns. (Don't get me wrong, thrilled for John Brown...)

KD in CA Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 But if they start 0-1, he still needs to be fired, right? 1 1
Casmo Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) That's right Brandon! Attitude! Keep the narrative, lets kick A$$. Go Cowboys and Bills! Edited March 14, 2019 by Casmo 1
Comebackkid Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 Love it. About time we had a gm with some brains and balls. 1

They could have won only 2-3 games as well. They were not a 9 win team. Much of what you said is opinion of where they are headed. Hopefully your positive stance is right. Some people get positive easier then others. I take a more reserved approach. I think it starts with the OL and see some improvement potential there. That will help big time. I am not as positive as others on our WR/TE/RB situation. We will see how it goes but lots of risk. None of those guys require extra attention, game planning, match up issues for other teams. On Defense we are similar to last year. The hope is we dont see some decline in the defense as historically you do in the NFL. Why say they could have only won 2-3 games when they won 6? What purpose does that serve? We'll see if Beane's moves work. But he gets Buffalo.

Every offseason its "different", "that was before", "these guys are better", etc. When Rex got here it was different "Rex would never have come to Buffalo before". When we signed Mario "Times are a changing, its a new era in buffalo". When we sign no one "see these guys are smart and build through the draft". Sign a bunch of guys "these guys are smart and guys want to be here". On and on. That is why people are not all in. To add to that is the team sucked last year after being respectful for most of the past few years. In the past ten seasons they won more than 6 games only four times, twice 9, once 8, and once 7. Last year they won 6. It's not like they were winning 10 or 11 games and dropped to 6 wins. Looking at the past 5 they went 9, 8, 7, 9, 6. Other than the year they made the playoffs, they were getting worse. Don't know how you came to the conclusion you came too?? ??

They are a 6 win team. You or whoever I responded to is the one that said they should have won 9. I was saying they looked much more like a 2-3 win team than a 9 win team.

I was not claiming them to have been great and suddenly drop off the map. They have been stuck at mediocre to below mediocre for 20 years. That is my point with a lot of this. I have heard for this 20 nearly every year from other fans how this year its different. I will believe it when I see it. I will not let a John Brown and Cole Beasley signing or even Mitch Morse somehow prove to me that its different now. That our GM now gets it. This team was just as average when he got here. He purged talent and has almost gotten back to the level when he got here. And remember Rex screaming about how he is a buffalo guy. No one shows up and doesnt try to say the right things. Let me remind you Beane grew up and lived in North Carolina his whole life basically. He is not from Buffalo and has only Beane here a few years. If he stays a long time I will call him a Buffalo guy. For now he is just playing the part he is supposed to.

Of course it was a COMPLETE ACCIDENT that Bills absolute blew Vikings out of the water. 1

Not sure how you claim to know my thoughts. Anyone being honest would say the Bills were bad last year. That is called being real. Am I supposed to be arguing that they were a really good team last year?

Definitely our franchise GM We won't know if he was sincere until he holds a PC after he is fired. One of the things we've come to be able to expect as Bills fans is Bills management that consistently fluffed the fanbase later hustling out of town without so much as a "see ya'".......... like they "can't wait to blow this dump!". One minute Promo is lighting the candles in his shrine to them and the next minute it's like they never heard of a mother*****ing Buffalo Bill! 2

It is not called being real. It is called being self-centered. The Bills were good sometimes, very good for two games, and bad for other games, very bad especially in beginning of season. They were not given any games by zebras like other teams. They earned the games they won and earned the games they lost.

You might be correct but I have only seen one other Bills GM combat media fallacies besides Beane now has. That guy was Bill Polian. Bill remains highly vocal on the positives of WNY and Beane will likely do the same. 1
Jrb1979 Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I can understand why players don't want to play for Buffalo. A lot of the fanbase gives off this blue collar vibe to the city. If I am a young guy that likes to party, a blue collar city is the last place I want to live. If they ever build a downtown stadium that would help things a lot. They have really built up the night life downtown.

They were not given any games by zebras like other teams. They earned the games they won and earned the games they lost. You confuse me. The consensus around the country or anyone interested in the NFL was that the Bills were bad. I agree with that assessment. Some games they looked better, some they looked worse. Taken as a whole they were bad. Not sure how that makes me self centered? Go ask 1000 people that watched the NFL if they thought the Bills were bad...I would guess at least 80% say yes. This has nothing to do with me. Its the reality of what the team was last year.
