I remember getting hyped up for so many bills patriots games only to lose 48–10

Come on man, Bishop got beat one on one where he was suppose to have help from Buffalo Joe inside. Damar missed the tackle that lead to the TD on the same play. Seems no one wants to point that out. Gotta give Bishop more time on the field. Damar sits back and waits for everything to come to him and still there is a 50\50 chance he misses the play. Bishop attacks the play, that timing takes time to learn and it can’t be done on the bench. Not saying hes gonna get it but he needs more time on the field as of now.

We're talking about immediate impact the year the player is drafted enough to put the Bills over the top in that last playoff game. You're doing a straw man implying I'm saying no rookie will have any impact or be better than expected.

I don’t know if I would call it hot takes, but moreso far too much overreaction. We played our backups against their starters and we had some holes that became apparent such as at Safety. Bishop needs to really ramp up his game if he’s going to make the team. Having injuries in camp or mini camp for his first two years and is performing at a PS level. I can’t fault Beane for his injuries, as he didn’t hurt him. He may end up being a bust. If so, Beane will have to find someone else. Hancock had flashes, so we’ll see in another PS game. He was playing nickel CB, but he’s been moved to Safety. He’s at least someone to watch progress.

I think DeJean was a totally different tier of prospect to Bishop personally. I had a first round grade on DeJean and a 3rd round grade on Bishop. They both went in round 2 in reality but I don't think that makes them comparable in that sense. The question with DeJean is whether he is really a safety. He played nickel for the Eagles last year and I think the reason he slid to day 2 was because some teams struggled to pigeon hole him positionally.

Good call. He was absolutely a guy they liked in that draft - the AJ Epenesa year. We have seen it before where they come back to guys they scouted heavily around the draft when they shake free. His base salary is over $9m though, so the Bills would have to wait for him to be a FA. I don't think they can afford to throw even a 7th round pick at it to jump the queue because they don't have the room to take the contract on.

Top Tier. But my hindsight is 20/20 and I would have loved to have drafted Justin Jefferson instead. Diggs did help Allen get better, no doubt. "Moulds the greatest" ???? . . . How about that Andre Reed fellow, you know, HOF and all? 🤷‍♂️

Same 🤪

The inherent ambiguities of English are at play here. I meant "could have" to mean "might have been able to," while you read "could have" to mean "able to." As for being better than Bishop, I don't know for sure, just as I don't know Elam won't end up being better than McDuffie.

For me, I wouldn’t rewrite history as he was a top 5 WR when he came here, and eventually he aged and his drama didn’t help. He’s on the tail end of his career so I hope he can make some plays for NE, as I don’t hate the guy. As an aside, a couple of years ago he was incredibly nice to my sister who was doing her banking in Hamburg. Diggs was in the middle of a commercial, but stopped and spoke to her for several minutes. He didn’t have to be nice, but was just kind to her.

To be fair he was having a great year last year before injury but he was arguably WR3 on that team, definitely WR2 behind Nico Mounds would be an All pro every year with 17 Nico Collins actually reminds me of him and he's top 5 imo with a lesser QB

3) The tape speaks for itself on the tackle attempt downfield

I don't think the scheme needs a major overhaul. I am interested to look at how the Bills approach 3rd down. The Frazier defense was a very good 3rd down defense and for this scheme - that does not mind giving up yards in return for keeping control of points and making teams go the distance - you have to be good at both getting takeaways AND winning 3rd down and since Frazier left we have gradually got worse on 3rd down. In fairness that also coincided with the drop off in health and reliability of Hyde and Poyer and no less than Bill Belichick used to say were the absolute best in the league at disguising coverages when those two played together. That is big on 3rd down because the QB takes the snap thinking you are in one defense and then by the time the ball hits his hands you are in something else. I think it is the combination of the coordinator changes and the weakness of our safety play that is the heart of the problem more than the fundamentals of the scheme. They HAVE to be better this year.

I almost thought that you were listing former and current Bills players who may be doing their own shows..

What did he average in the elimination games, which is what I actually referenced? And how many TDs?

There are many great drummers. Peart, Bonham, Moon, Stewart Copeland, Buddy Rich…even Ringo…and not necessarily in that order. My top guy? Peart. Technically sound, intricate, dedication. Great lyricist. Was perfect for Rush and loved watching him! As for the remaining guys, all great drummers who were perfect for their respective bands. Again, even Ringo who I’ve been learning to really like. I just feel Neal was a step above. A sleeper that I love watching from back in the day is Joe Morello who played with Brubeck.

My thought exactly. Beside, nothing else can excuse the defensive play calling.

Than there was the 14 year drought in the 70s. Lots of 2-14 seasons

It is regarded as true that there are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on earth

😂

No. The drought era Bills rarely got blown out. The only one I can remember is one year we were 4-3 or something and thought we might have a chance to be decent. Then we played the Cheats on MNF and got totally trounced.

So much FASCISM!! OH NO!!! How we all yearn for a uniting force!

For most of the drought Bills were never as bad as Sunday night. We had a lot of 7-9 teams that kept us in QB purgatory

This all sounds great and I hope it works. Let me know when the ink is dry
