You guys are mistaking that for good pressure. Mahomes had plenty of time to throw, obviously after 3-4 seconds then the pressure was coming in. It wasn't as if the Bills were getting immediate pressure, the reason why he was "running for his life" was because of the time he was afforded and he just stood back there looking for options and eventually the pressure was coming in.

Seems as if there seems to be some amnesia as to why the Bills didn't advance into the AFC Championship game. Aside from the coaching gaffe - The Bills couldn't get after the QB - The Bills couldn't cover their receivers That was addressed this offseason in a major way. With that said, the offensive line on paper is slightly better and so is the backfield, tight ends with the WR's essentially being a push. Get one more veteran depth CB and boundary WR and the team is set.

The Bills are fine at the WR spot, but they are one boundary WR away from risking that away. Diggs and Gabe Davis are going to be a high caliber starting outside boundary duo, but depth at that spot is shaky. They just need to bring in a veteran who can play the role if one of the two go down. In regards to the receiving options from the backfield, TE's and slots with the addition of OJ, Shakir, Crowder and Cook, there is a huge upgrade at those spots. Overall, the Bills lose one quality depth boundary WR and gain many other options at the other receiving positions. Net net, it's clear that the team has improved on the receiving front, at least on paper. For me to feel a little more comfortable, the Bills would need to add one more veteran boundary WR. With that the Bills are set for the season.

Bills’ Analytics Department Highly-Ranked
Magox replied to Coach Tuesday's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yep, I remember reading this when the Bills were going to be embarking upon their new analytics program and how it was being built from the ground up. Glad to see that it has been paying off for us, yet another feather in the cap for Beane/McDermott and what they have built for this Bills franchise. -
No safety keeps up with Tyreek Hill and Kelce just knows how to exploit coverages.
-
Either the franchises and agents know something about the size of the cap substantially increasing in the coming two years or these ridiculous new contracts for the receivers we have been seeing is about to correct.
-
My guess is that the Bills will offer a very similar deal to Poyer as what Mathieu received and he'll sign. safeties can play at higher levels than DB's for longer periods of their careers, I think Poyer has another 3 years of high level football in him, which would most likely coincide with what the guaranteed money that they will offer him frontloading the first 2 years.

Preparing for Tre White to never be the same post-injury
Magox replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
It's certainly a concern and the odds do point to considerable risks and Tre never returning to be the same player that he used to be. There are some people who have great genetics and advances in medicine/therapy/treatments continue to improve. We also know that Tre will outwork just about anyone for his rehab so if there was anyone who could return to near his level pre injury, Tre would be the person. I'm hopeful but also somewhat mentally prepared to see a physically lesser Tre. -
Part of an NFL players responsibilities are to the fans and organization but not solely to them. Just like you and me, there is a personal responsibility and he is in the middle of negotiations and from his perspective this is the last chance he has at getting a multiyear contract that will forever secure he, his family and his legacy. It is a voluntary workout, he doesn't have to be here and I don't begrudge him one bit on what he believes is best for his families interests. He is an old pro, him missing some voluntary workouts is not going to affect him one bit when it comes to his play on the field.

There is a real possibility that the Bills ended up drafting two players who will be a staple in the Bills passing attack for years to come. They are both jackknives that can be lined up in a multitude of positions in varying formations. They both could end up being reliable safety valves that convert lots of third down conversions. I think when it's all said and done, a 2nd and 5th rounder who could end up 2-3 years from now catching over 100 receptions annually would end up looking like a hell of a bargain. The Bills are a little weak with their boundary WR depth, they should look to add another veteran to the mix.

I would say OL - depth WR - depth CB - depth I see no weaknesses with the starting units.

Insights into McDermott team-building philosophy
Magox replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
Didn't see this post until after my last response. -
Even though Feliciano's play dropped off last year, overall he was a bargain player that played with lots of emotion. Overall, he was a net plus. With that said, this is just bitterness on his part for losing his starting job.

Insights into McDermott team-building philosophy
Magox replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think they made that trade thinking that the 18 draft class was going to give them a better shot at landing their franchise QB than the pick they traded to KC. Do I think Josh was who they had in mind the whole time? Not necessarily, but from all accounts Josh was someone they liked a lot back in 2017. They knew they were trading all these players and picks for draft capital for the QB draft class in 2018. I just don't view it as luck that they made all these decisions, including the trade to KC and Sammy and ultimately were able to maneuver themselves from a pick in the 20's all the way to 7 and end up getting their guy. That to me says there was a purpose and they executed that purpose. Yes, but in reality pretty much every franchise QB that is selected by a team, you could apply this sort of logic and say the majority of teams had some luck in that other teams didn't select them first. -

Magox replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
Ok, then by that logic the Chiefs lucked into drafting Mahomes. You can make that argument for just about every single QB ever drafted except for any chose as the #1 overall selection. The Bills purposely traded back so that they would have draft capital for 2018, this was not luck this was by design. They traded up to #7 because they wanted one of the top QB's in that draft class, and by all accounts Josh Allen was someone that they were in love with since 2017. This was by design. -

Bill, with all due respect, they did not luck into Josh Allen. Without trading their first rounder to KC and trading other players that were popular with some of the fanbase accumulating draft capital, they would have never have landed Josh Allen. The Bills purposely traded away that pick among other players targeting their franchise QB for 2018 which by all accounts was supposed to be a strong year for QB's. The Bills did what they did with a purpose and at the end of the day, the trade to KC most likely ended up being the right decision as they ended up getting a foundational defensive piece at a very important position and an elite franchise QB. -
I made mention of this a few years ago, every single thing he competes in, he excels. Josh Allen is a unicorn, he can pretty much do everything really well.
-
I agree with a lot of it, the only places I'd differ is Araiza and Dodson in blue.

Crowder is a quality slot receiver.
