But I would think your members would like some info backed up with facts. Call me crazy... ok. bat ***** crazy then. No Bills fans want to hear from Cheats fans. Sorry to bust your bubble.

Come on Father Time!!!!! ...I'd take a solid 2nd in the AFCE and a clear cut wildcard as the first step....just my opinion, but that would be a helluva accomplishment with the multitude of changes in personnel as well as coaches heading into 2019.....I do worry about three particular posters here who would be crushed if this happened.....

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 I'm not writing off the Cheatriots just yet but when the wheels come off an old QB, bad things happen quickly. They have been the masters of creating mismatches with opposing defenses. Gronk was a big part of that. I expect them to use a strong run game to keep teams in their base defense to create their mismatches that way. Brady doesn't seem to have the big play ability that he used to have but he is still very accurate in the short to medium range passing game.

It looks like he's betting big on 2020. The open question is how wisely he spends his draft and cap capital. So far, I like what I'm seeing but it's all speculation at this point. ....better put on your kevlar vest with this "voice of reason" stuff............I hear footsteps...... 1

One good shot by an over- exuberant rookie named Oliver could do wonders for Brady’s inability to stay comfortable ? 2
Logic Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) To the people saying that Pete Prisco has always been a Bills hater: I don't see it that way. He HAS openly criticized the Bills a lot over the past 20 years, but they've almost always deserved it! Think of the amount of bad GMs, coaches, draft picks, and players that came through Orchard Park the past couple decades. Prisco was mostly RIGHT to criticize that stuff. It tells me that he actually probably knows what he's looking at a little bit! The fact that the Beane/McDermott regime and their decisions since taking over represent the first time Prisco has spoken highly of the Bills in years means he's just seeing what WE'RE all seeing as fans: The team is finally in the hands of competent people and is making smart decisions. Prisco a hater? Hardly. He just has working eyeballs. Edited May 18, 2019 by Logic 2

He has better talent all around him and the D should hold serve. Last season was ‘86 and ‘87 was a strike year so ‘ 88 it is? 1

True, but keep in mind other teams are improving too, and can improve quickly. Cleveland added some top talent, the Jets added some top talent. Buffalo has good stability at the top and with the coaching staff, that is an edge that has to be made good on. I'd love a 1988 style run, I think it's a year off yet. But you have a valid opinion. 1 1

Prisco a hater? Hardly. He just has working eyeballs. Prisco has been around a lot longer than you are referencing. He used to throw a lot of shade on the 1990's Bills. That era was the peak of his relevance and he had a soft spot for pretty much anybody that was playing the Bills. He was a big fish in a small pond then. He's cold product now, that's for sure.
