What is your offensive playbook, and what are your position philosophies? It's good to see someone trying to turn the Bills around.

Keep this up. I'm pretty interested to see how this goes with the old HC. I could never get the hang of it.

Re: Rebuilding Buffalo dynasty

Coach Gragg has announced with the signings of McCoy and Woten the defense will be even tougher now. Also Coach Gragg has announced that by week 6 3 trade deals will be completed on schedule.

ESPN reports the trade deals will be for draft picks and to free up some spots so the team can deal with free agents.
