VADC Bills

I would love to see him check down a little more. I would like for the coordinators to design screens for him and incorporate more crossing patterns. Once that happens we will put a lot more points on the board.

Beane was 100% responsible for this year's draft. He wasn't in place long enough last year to take any credit. I think Whaley's scouting team was in full effect with McDermott picking and choosing in the 2017 draft. I would like to see more than a good game against the Jets to be convinced but it would have been crushing to lose this one.

I'm amazed at the people that are tearing down Taylor trying to lump him with Peterman. If they were both released which one would be picked up first? If you can defend McD and Beane by saying they ended the playoff drought, you can say the same for Tyrod. I would get ticked watching Tyrod at times but as the saying goes..you don't know what you got until you lose it.

Were these opportunities before or after the suspension?

Zay was a Whaley pick based on Whaley scouting. I don't hold Beane accountable until after last years draft. Beane has showed that he can get rid of talent but he hasn't demonstrated that he can research and make good picks bring in quality FA's and build anything. Making the playoffs last year was based on talent acquired during Whaley's tenure. McD is a better coach than Rex and could utilize the talent better. Zay Jones has become the best receiver on the field. The Bills have become an offensive embarrassment.

Just sign Pryor and he can double as QB/WR.

I heard from an inside source that Belichick has given his video spies and football deflators the week off and has declared this a No Cheat week better known as Buffalo Bills week. To address the question of Monday night not only will the Bills lose, they will think of a way to creatively lose that would even make Leodis McKelvin jealous.

Last year I felt as though the present regime road the coat tales of the prior regimes talent, which they did. I wanted to see how they would do this year because it is fully McBeane's team now. I not impressed with Beane's handling of the draft and talent evaluation. Trading Dareus in the middle of the season was disruptive. Neglecting the O-line. Neglecting the QB situation. Needed experienced depth, maybe keep Tyrod. Wasting badly draft picks to move up and creating holes to do so. FA Failures. I would love to see Whaley's talent evaluation with McD coaching because that's what we saw last year.

We have taken a step back in talent evaluation. The result will be 3-13 seasons. We are moving in the wrong direction. The QB position is to hard to successfully draft and all of the QB's that were drafted last year seem to have issues regarding consistency that you would expect from a rookie. Allen is the only one that doesn't have a support system and that is poor management. Mayfield is the best and clearly has the best understanding of the game. Allen and Rosen are bringing up the rear in this horse race. All of the QB's are being mentored by QB's that are proven solid QB's except for Allen. Our GM forgot about this aspect of QB development. Allen may not develop until our GM and coach does. Allen is a 3 year project if given an improving O-Line.

I like Josh Allen but he is a QB that will need 3 years to develop. The front office was negligent and showed their inexperience in not having quality depth at QB. A QB needs to be attained via FA and the draft. McBeane will need to gain draft picks to address the holes they created in the prior season. Teddy Bridgewater and a 3rd or 4th round QB can work. Our first round pick should be a highly desirable pick and should generate 1 or 2 additional picks. Unless there is a stud in the first that we can't say no to, start building the offense period. Lets get the T and G. Receivers that can compliment each other 2 solid possession guys and burner that can stretch the field (kind of like Woods, Watkins and Goodwin). Don't leave out a RB. I think there will be more than one opportunity to move down but do they have the scouting that will allow late round success?

The concern is that Beane has not demonstrated that he can evaluate good talent. I think Whaley's was better especially with the later draft picks and in season replacements. Get Bridgewater or Fitz to start and to mentor Allen. We will probably draft in the top 5 this year and there should be a blue chip prospect there, if so get him so Allen and he will be mentored by the veteran.

I agree with the Bridgewater approach..it can happen this off season if Beane and McDermott can get off of the slow bus to success. Allen is a 3 year project so get Ted in the off season and don't hesitate to pick a more talented QB if available. I have watched all of the Bills games I don't remember any screen passes being run. It seems as though this would be perfect for a rookie QB. Daboll should go and take Peterman with him. It seems as though everyone is learning from the GM on down.

Until he starts fumbling the ball I don't think it is much of a problem.

After watching him with the Redskins as the rust wears off he will look more like Aaron Schobel but I like the Denny comparison.

I'm not sure how McD or Beane stand on racial issues. But they left the door open to that way of thinking by their actions with TT last year and with Peterman being so bad you couldn't discount race. With that being said they have made questionable decisions this year when race is not an issue regarding Peterman??? What do they see in him. I believe race may be more in the minds of some posters than in Bills management. Just mention Doug Whaley's name. Will Beane be held to the same level of expectation as Whaley on this board.

As soon as the season is over make Alex Van Pelt the associate OC or AHC. This would be an excellent choice

But it is part of the learning process and most vets will take the young guy under their wing. I cringe when I saw the story on how Tyrod was helping Baker Mayfield. I like Allen and Buffalo should afford him every opportunity to be successful.

We were never the laughing stock of the league with Marrone and he has arguably he best team in the league now. He took over a bad Jacksonville team now they are contending for a championship. As of now the answer is yes.

It was Whaley..let's give credit where credit is due.

We need a GM and coach that get 2-3 more wins a season from what we had last year. When you're 9-7 the quickest way to 12-4 is not going 3-13. What kind of a process is this. I question their ability to judge talent. Look at their free agents. I think McBeane is learning on the job, but no matter what anyone's process or rebuild is losing seasons should not be part of it. Both of these guys are unproven so I hate to see them get rid of the talent we had because they have no record of building a winning team or scouting good talent and we are beginning to see very questionable decision making.

If they continue to lose to the point where people stop buying tickets to the games. They will be removed immediately. No time frame on it. If the Bills get blown out over the next 2-3 games. You will see a dip in ticket sales. Guess what happens next.

I felt Teddy Bridgewater would have been an excellent vet for Allen to learn from. The Jets seems to have out strategized the Bills this off season while McBeane was giving away valuable draft picks. I think McBeane may have lost the hunger to win now since going to the playoffs last year.

Hindsight is 20/20. I can understand the first start for Peterman although I disagreed with pulling Tyrod. I'm sure McD wanted to see what the kid had and we saw quickly, went back to Tyrod and went to the playoffs for the first time in 17 years thus padding McBeane's ego somewhat. Peterman should have been cut in the off season but wasn't and this is where poor general management and coaching decision making come in. To make the same mistake twice is on McBeane. One of worst decisions of Bills management that I can remember. Starting Peterman was made by choice and not forced due to injuries. They have painted themselves in corner of not having a viable QB which demonstrates the lack of planning and talent assessing on their part. It has been a long time since we were the embarrassment of the league and we are now after one week. The good part is that it is only one week into the season and there is opportunity for them to prove themselves.

The failure I witnessed at the game starts at the top. Many holes were not addressed in the off season in fact some were created. McBeane seemed more concerned about removing talent than acquiring it.

I was at the game yesterday and I agree when Allen came into the game his passes had more zip like Flacco's. He showed some pocket presence. He also made noticeably quicker decisions and over all looked more comfortable than Peterman who was playing scared. He was better than Peterman in all phases. Let the rookie play, put a FB back there to protect him.
