Peterman didn't even have 100 yards passing total. How much production could you possibly expect for Clay with a rookie QB behind a porous OL?

And he is still overpaid.

This only applies when Bills players are sucking. Not opponents.

Yes, if it's Coughlin.

Me neither.

Tanking is a waste of time. If all it took was sucking to become a powerhouse then teams like the Browns or Clippers would be champions by now. You don't develop a winning culture by tanking.

I know reports from camp have been solid but Lawson didn't really look too good in the Eagles game. He's got a lot to prove.

These two sentences seem completely contradictory. Unless the plan is to have no idea what will happen.

Keep him and cut Tolbert if you only want 4 RBs.

I wonder about this too. The scheme may be a better fit but the talent level is no where near what it was 3 years ago.

Do you mean the locker room that thought Marrone was too hard nosed and that Rex was too lax? I wonder sometimes what they are looking for.

This part is obvious. It's also obvious that he had no better options to stay in the league since the Bills were a long shot bet to begin with. He had a great career but he probably should have retired a year or two ago.

Must have been heartbreaking given how much they've been through together.

Sorry. I thought you meant losing Matthews to injury, not Boldin to retirement. You're right that losing Boldin will mean nothing on the field, despite all the nonsense that Dennison and McDermott were spinning about signing him. He was done a couple of years ago.

If he was so bad in Philly then why did they trade for him? Can't have it both ways.

They don't have to make the moves until week 10 right? They will absolutely do what it takes to the that pick. 100% certain.

Morale is obviously flagging. McD felt that he had to sell the Watkins trade to the leaders in the locker room, announce several times that they are not giving up on this season and then unleash on the players several days later when they were "feeling sorry for themselves". Now Boldin retires out of the blue reinforcing the message that this season is going to be rough. Something to lend hope for this season would be nice at this point.

lol. I guess his dream of reaching a Super Bowl with the Bills got hit with a cold dose of reality.

Schmidt looked good last preaseason too then he rolled over and died once the season started. Hopefully he'll carry it over better this year.

Impossible. I read here on TBD that he sucks and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional at best and a troll at worst.

The thing is that I'm not sure Lynn would have brought back the Roman system anyway. That offense was probably toast even though the personnel fit it very, very well The defense looks good but it's preseason so all non-veteran offenses are struggling to some degree. They did lose their top two cornerbacks and leading tackler from last season so I'm not sure I'm expecting them to be top 10 or anything. We'll see.

You mean Roman

Why bother on either end? Neither QB is going to take you anywhere so what's the point?

If Ducasse continues to start after that game then there may be a problem.

I agree. The real issue is that the coaches and schemes changed continuously so he was never really able to build up the talent for one particular system. I think he's a top scout. Whether he was a top GM depends on what you expect from your GM I guess, as he certainly struggled to get along with the coaches and really didn't provide any leadership on team direction.
