Logic Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Looking around the NFL, I see stunning amounts of front office and team building incompetence. The Jets letting a Pro Bowl kicker go despite having plenty of money to sign them, then losing a game due to bad kicking and already being on the FOURTH kicker of the season by week 3. Also not putting good protection in front of Darnold and having to talk Ryan Kalil out of retirement. They also paid infinity dollars to an off-ball linebacker and a running back and a corner that they just benched. The Browns ALSO failing to put good protection in front of Baker Mayfield, who now looks like he may be pulverized into dust before he can set the league on fire. The Giants just...well...there's too much to even list. The Dolphins tanking in such an obvious way that even good, young, recently drafted players like Minkah Fitzpatrick want out. There has always been this level of incompetence in the NFL, of course. The difference now is that, for years, the Bills were near the top of the "stumbling, bumbling" incompetence list. As a fan of the Bills, I never really had room to talk about OTHER teams' bad decisions. Now? I sit back, confident in the fact that my favorite team finally has stability, a GM and head coach that are on the same page, and a clear direction. I look at the awesome offensive line that this front office has built for Josh Allen, the targets they've gotten him, the purposeful building of the defense, the smart free agency spending, the culture...just about everything. I'm not used to looking at chaos and stupidity around the league and thinking "not MY team". This is new. I could get used to this. 18 1 8 5
nedboy7 Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Well then I think it’s best not to put too much into these 2 road games against 2 incompetent franchises. Let’s see how we do against the evil empire. 10
Captain Tucker Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Watching the Jets - Browns Monday night game puts the Bills rebuild in perspective. They have done an awesome job so far! 8
PlayoffsPlease Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Lets face it, we all know what the adjective/adverb Billsy means. It is fun watching other teams, especially the ones playing us being so Billsy. 3 3 1
H2o Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 I don't know what you're talking about. McBeane is lost out here. We need to fire everybody ~ Pre-Season posters 4

Seasons1992 Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 I keep saying the same thing to myself after all these issues around the league: THANK JEEBUS IT'S NOT US, FINALLY!! 4

With all due respect, even the Bills laying an egg against the Patriots wouldn't change the fact that the team is run with a competent, intelligent vision. Losing to the Patriots won't suddenly take away all the smart team-building that Beane and McDermott have done. 7 3
Seven-N-Nine Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 So much already happening this season with OG QB's that have been staples in the league for many years. Problem is the one staple that needs to die still looks great. 2

Definitely there is no question this team has improved significantly from where we were last year. 2
JXCOL3 Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 We need to give McBeane a Jon Gruden type contract. Lets get some more of that process.

ProcessAccepted Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 One game at a time people let's just focus on one game at a time. I suggest following the process and not crown ourselves anything. 5 2
Nextmanup Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 The NFL has always been run by a bunch of meatheads for the most part, with usually 3 or 4 really competent franchises at any one point in time. When we were going to Superbowls, Buffalo, Dallas, and San Francisco seemed a cut above the rest of the league. The Bill Parcels Giants and Joe Gibbs Redskins were also very well run organizations. Lots of crap franchises back in those days, just as there are now. 1
stosh64 Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Is it just me or is the Miami situation taking incompetence to a whole new level? I have been a Bills fan since the early 70's and have seen a lot of incompetence around the league, a lot of it right here in Buffalo. I can not, however, recall anything like the dumpster fire happening in Miami. I have not had this level of optimism with the Bills since about 87' or 88', in fact I believe Allen could be better than Kelly and Management maybe be even better. Don't get me wrong, I loved Jim, but he had his faults. Allen is more athletic, has a bigger arm and is at least as accurate as Kelly. Josh seems to have as much football sense as Jim, maybe more (I loved seeing Josh running the no-huddle this early in his career). I think Josh is more coachable and has a better work ethic as well as being more team oriented and less narcissistic. Yes this is a weird feeling but it is a feeling I have had before and one I am hoping becomes the normal again, at least for a decade or so! 4 1

Again, I'm not "crowning" the Bills anything other than having a competent management team with a cogent plan. That's it. 7
TheBrownBear Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Well, our own front office and coaching staff looked pretty damn terrible/pathetic at this time last year, so I'm not going to pass judgment on any of the other rebuilds just yet. 1

So refreshing to not have us being the ones to do stupid/questionable things to the point of costing us games
