Literally same situation we decided to NOT fire Bowles we decided to draft Sam over Josh we decided to hire Gase Go FUCK yourselves Johnsons
The Bills also made a move for Stefon Diggs. Not sure what it would have cost us but Sam would look much better if he were on the roster.
No point in being sad and bitter about it now...onwards and upwards with new leadership and management in place. Lets keep it going. All it means is a franchise can turnaround quick... Regarding the Bills, I will say they had a solid defense when Allen got there, offense needed work.
Sam does need legit weapons and a better plan for him. I am not 100% done with him but pretty close...if we can get a trade for him I'd be down otherwise I think we need to get playmaker however we can
The Bills were in a much better position than the Jets in 2018. Both teams were going to have plenty of cap space to build around their young signal callers, but the Bills had far more draft capital from trading down in the previous draft. Conversely the Jets traded a ton of draft capital to pick Sam Darnold. The Bills also were only two years removed from a postseason birth so they already had more talent on the roster.
We totally gutted our roster. The year we snook into the playoffs our roster was below average. Good drafts since McBean was hired is what contributed to what you see now. 2017 draft: T. White, D. Dawkins, M. Milano 2018 draft: J. Allen, T. Edmunds, H. Phillips, T. Johnson 2019 draft: E. Oliver, D. Singletary, D. Knox 2020 draft: Z. Moss, G. Davis, T. Bass We’ve been hitting on our draft picks with the biggest one being the QB.
hey shhhhh keep quiet Jet fans just want to blame only Sam we hit in zero phases all those years and we had Mac, Bowles and Gase the three worst football humans god ever created (at the respective levels of job) My fellow Jet fans gonna give you 500 excuses but there is no reason we could not be the bills of today, short of horrific management and coaching- both directly tied to the Johnson fuck tards
Who cares? It's not like Josh Allen Is good enough to win a Superbowl. I mean... Is he though? Meh. I don't think so.
They got lucky in that the Wilson family sold the team. We’re still stuck with the same bozos. Though I give credit to Chris Johnson for reportedly letting Joe Douglas have almost all the say in this coaching hire. They still have a long way to go to prove we’re a competent organization again.
Damn man You must be young contrary to all the new age “fans” thinking we have on this site, a great team, with a good game manager, and a good coaching staff can win a SB easy. Maybe not a dynasty, but a Super Bowl without a doubt. stop being brainwashed by the emo crew Somehow all of these players have more Super Bowls than Dan Marino. So go fuck yourselves to all the “franchise HOF QB or bust” idiots.... construct a great team and you always have a shot. Fucking armchair idiots. Jim Plunkett Jim McMahon Phil Sims Jeff Hostetler Mark Rypien Doug Williams Trent Dilfer Brad Johnson Joe Flavco Nick Foles And I would add Eli to the list but you can leave him off if you like
Bravo! Bravo! These guys don’t understand football. Allen missed a wide open Digg deep. His D bailed him with the INT return. He’s not better than Darnold, maybe has a better stiff arm. He has Diggs #2 WR in the league, great HC and a killer D like the Sanchez days. It’s pretty simple to be competitive, but if you want Saints, Packers, level every year in the hunt, well Sam aint gonan cut it. And to be fair most of these young QBs won’t. They all need stellar casts, and that’s the point my dudes. Sam needs a cast, like every other young Qb. LoL
Relax.. It's a rub on the Bills, not something for you to get all worked up over. Also.. Stop acting like you're the fountain of wisdom around here. Not all of us are brain dead. If you want to go down memory lane, we can, but, the fact Is. It doesn't matter. Who cares? The Bills are having a good year. Am I supposed to get worked up over that? Should I crown them the next dynasty already because they are finally making a playoff run of any significance? I don't think Josh Allen Is good. I think he has a lot of flaws that their current team covers up very well. I think they will be exposed very soon. I don't think he Is good enough to win a SB. Cool list.... They were fortunate enough to not cost their team In the playoffs. Happens. It's the exception, not the rule. I'm fairly certain. Mark Sanchez was In the same spot, he didn't make It, despite being on really good teams back to back years. Stop acting like It's not more convenient to have a great QB getting you to the playoffs, year after year, consistently. It is. My post never once suggested that a mediocre QB couldn't win on a SB caliber team. With all that said... I don't want a short term answer that gets us excited for a season or two, then fades away. We've done that already back in 09' - 10'. Why do we want to do that again? How can you act like anyone Is wrong for wanting a fucking HOF QB? That's just not smart. Who wouldn't want that? Honestly? Sure, I understand the "something Is better than nothing" theory. It's not something to really strive for though. It can get It done but It certainly doesn't hold great odds In comparison to having a good team and great QB on your team. Those are much better odds of winning a SB. Bravo though. Bravo...
If we’d have drafted Allen, he could have car shared with Hackenberg out of here. The New York Jets: ruining quarterbacks since 1973.
I remember thinking that about Tom Brady in 2001. If the Browns win tonight, we are in for a week of ugly Jets fan arguments.
And the 2017 draft really set the Bills up well for the Allen era. My point was that 2017 was the line of demarcation. By the 2018 draft the Bills future looked brighter than the Jets. In addition to drafting three really good players in 2017 (2 at premium spots) they also were able to add more picks in the process. Like the Jets they mistakenly passed on Watson/Mahomes, but unlike the Jets were able to get a great haul in return (#1 CB, a third round pick, and future first). That trade (along with great drafting and cap space) set the Bills up well to build around Allen (who like Darnold was a raw prospect). The Jets conversely didn’t have anything worthwhile on their roster as far as young talent with the exception of two promising safeties. The 2017 Jets were a 1-3 win team that somehow got to 5-11 because Josh McCown played out of his mind in a few games. Instead of picking in the top 3 like they should have they were at pick #6. With McCagnan on the hot seat knowing he needed a young QB to inspire enough hope to save his job he panicked and traded away three future second round picks to ensure he got a QB (didn’t even seem to care which one is was). As a result the Jets ended up with a very young, raw QB on a bad team, with a lame duck head coach, and without much in terms of draft capital to supplement the roster. The Jets did have cap flexibility, but McCagnan literally flushed that down the toilet. There was some hope when the Jets ended up getting the #3 overall pick in 2019 that maybe they could trade down and recoup the picks. Unfortunately the 2019 draft sucked (especially for offense and QBs) and the Jets were stuck at 3.
