Something interesting happened last week when I tweeted my season prediction of a 5-11 record for the Buffalo Bills.
Some fans were upset with the prognostication. But others said not only would the Bills do worse than 5-11 this season, but that the team should do worse in order to improve its 2018 draft position.
Yes, tanking has become a topic of discussion around Buffalo.
The approach taken by first-year coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane does not cleanly fit the definition of a team that is sacrificing short-term success in order to build for the future.
