This was par for the course for 17 years. One bad decision after another, crappy trades, draft pics, and overall mismanaged. Russ Brandon was in way over his head. I’m constantly reminded of well run we are now, and how well constructed we are from top to bottom. 31 teams and fan bases are let down every year. I want us to win the SB earlier rather than later, and hopefully a couple, but we may go after this run for the next 15 years without one.

okok lol Im on the bandwagon on Coleman improving. he looks improved. On the bold.. Did you see the QB's he was playing for? yea.. Im not saying Moore will be awesome but you have to take that into consideration.. The JA take I agree.. it was crazy. He had no OLINE and No WEAPONS.... nuts.. -

Agree. Not a huge fan of talking heads but a lot of the talk is “QBs with the most to prove”. Caleb is brought up a lot. Rightly so. He has to show improvement on his decision making. Now whilst the line play wasn’t that great, a lot of his decisions were at fault. Can’t hang on to the football for 4 seconds to throw in this league. Couple that with what they added last year for him, this year the moves they’ve made and a moderately decent defense to boot, he has to showcase the abilities they drafted him #1 overall. Time will tell indeed but the clock is ticking. -
I loved him while he was here, and understood he wanted to work and the dolphins were offering. Sometimes it’s best just know when it’s over. He looked old and slow his last year here, and was worse in Miami. Sure, a part of me thinks it’s funny, but when I’ve left a company, I’ve never trashed my old manager or the company where I made a living. Just move onto something new. He certainly has made enough $ in his professional career, so invest well, spend time with you’re family, and accept you had a rich career.

tbh... you're wrong.
-
Disagree man. Those past playoffs alone proves he was a top 10 guy in this league. Easily. Especially the Chiefs game.
-
Always liked Poyer, the mighty Bush played a part in his downfall. Thankfully the double cushions he had to fall down on propped him up I guess!
-
You might be right but if they couldn’t have traded and got Josh, maybe they end up with Lamar? Maybe Kyler Murray, Daniel Jones or Dwayne Haskins? Burrow, Tua or Herbert? Lawrence, Wilson, Trey Lance or Mac Jones? Guess we’ll never know… thankfully! All Praises to Josh!
-
Wrongly utilized more often than not. Similar to Watkins, a lot of his collegiate dominance was due to quick passes and screens, something you seldom saw him being deployed in. A lot of great players that never panned out over those years, sadly. Can’t fault Ralph really, Nix was that older mentality that he probably gravitated to. Double down with the networking he had within the league and it did kind of make sense. Russ Brandon, at least to me, was the biggest part of Ralph’s problems. Certainly mismanaged a lot of the improvement/building of the teams over his tenure.

I saw a discussion with Scicilliano where they believe enough is enough and there won’t be any more references to it

An internet war enthusiast such as yourself certainly doesn’t care. -
Being 62 and life long Bills fan. It has been a roller-coaster ride.

Tbh...Cook is not a top 10 rb in the nfl. He is perfectly suited for his role here. I'd like to see him lined up as a receiver on 3rd downs.
-
I’ll stop you when you’re wrong.

It wouldn’t be the 1st time. No team has a worse record of starting QBs. Case in point -with due respect to McMann, their only great QB was and still is Sid Luckman -

2nd Window for Superbowl Taking Shape
Chandler#81 replied to PoundingDog's topic in The Stadium Wall
Speaking just as a Florida resident, we never have open windows. It’s either damp & cold or treacherously hot. Car roof openings & convertibles are worthless here. Oh! THAT window. nevermind.. -
Thanks folks. Now I’m depressed. It was bad enough that we couldn’t win, but then we were a sh!tshow to boot.. Just shoot me.

Cook signed👀 - 4 / 48 / 30 mil guaranteed
Chandler#81 replied to JerseyBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
I recall our last real game where Cook was called on to score or die on 4th down from the 2 yard line. I also recall he was going to be stopped short of the goal line before pulling off an unnatural flight while being virtually broken in half to reach the endzone. Cook is capable of extraordinary feats. $15 M? Pay the Man! -
Anderson does play center - he was the #2 center the entire pre-season last year and has done it in relief og McGovern when he has got nicked up in games. And they have used both Grable and Lundt inside some in camp as well as at tackle. As for Green... the Bills didn't use him at center last week even with Anderson out. He played RG on the 2nd string OL. Dan Feeney played center. With Brown, Anderson and Grable out and SVPG still on PUP they went: 1st string: Dawkins - Edwards - McGovern - Torrence - Van Demark 2nd string: Lundt - Gouraige - Feeney - Green - Van Demark

Do people not realize that in negotiations, you don't start by throwing out the number you are expecting to get? It would be pretty dumb to start negotiations saying you'd take $12M. He starts high, the team starts low and you meet somewhere in the middle. That's how negotiating works.

I feel your pain! I am part of a big mens group with a lot of big hitters in it from media, tech, music, leadership, business, etc. that meets every Saturday and has all these guest speakers come in. I remember sitting in the theatre on Saturdays (now we meet via zoom on Saturdays) listening to some of biggest crypto people in the game tell us all the time to just put $10k in Ethereum and let it sit. Same people who told them to buy bitcoin when it was worth nothing too (I wasn't in the group back then). Ethereum was at $6 then and that $10k would be worth based on todays price $7,888,033! I think it about all the time as I had the $10k to do it, but buying crypto was complicated back then, nothing like now to buy or use it, so I just didn't have the time or bandwidth to really dive into it as I had so much already going on with two businesses I was building and running at the time. There are guys in the group who literally made hundreds of millions getting in early on Ethereum in that group who now live in sick places in like Bali, Dubai, Costa Rica, Malaysia, etc. Oh what could have been lol.

2015 wasn’t great either. Honestly, QBs are just rarer than hen’s teeth.
-
This is it. We had no QB then, and we do now And Buddy knew it. But they had to get a QB in a year where there just wasn't a good QB option in the draft. The best QB in 2013 was clearly Geno Smith, but he wasn't any good until - what? - eight years later? Ideally they should have done what McDermott did in his first year, traded way back to get good draft capital for trade-ups the next year. But even the next year who was the best QB in the draft? Either Derek Carr or Teddy Bridgewater. If handled better, would either of these guys have had better careers than they have? Maybe. That two-year stretch is one of the worst periods to draft a QB in NFL history.
