I’m not the one for that. You never saw me say anything about the Steelers being an easy game
My point was that there are no games to start smooth on. First game of the year, each team has hope and will show up to win. Bills are better than most, but they have to play their best or they can get caught with an L.

How often does the home team lose that game? Give me just some bland 1pm game against a team that can have a soft landing and drill. Get the year started off smoothly.
In 2022 if the Bills play.
And that Steelers game last year didn’t teach you about “soft landings?”

I get all that, just would have preferred we looked at a different team with a better recent track record but it's still ultimately beane ultimately calling the shots anyway regardless of this addition.
Professional sports are amongst the most exclusive jobs in the world, not just on the field but within the front office of organizations. People who work at that level may not ultimately be successful but they are there because they have some ability. Few are called and fewer are chosen.

I think he will end up with the Bills
If he does, that most likely means that Beane re-structured or extended someone on the roster. Poyer? Edmunds? Dawkins?

Texans & Jets? Yikes! Only missing the Jags. Don't do it Beane!!!! Run away!!
He’s not the owner or the GM. He can suggest a lot of players but the GM and, it seems in those 2 places, bad ownership can say no. Or players can choose to go elsewhere. Or coaches didn’t do a good job developing players acquired.
The guy has experience, knows how the league works and is in a better organization with an owner who will spend money and an elite GM-HC combo.
Relax.

My understanding is that he is NOT a ball hawk. Looking at his stats, that seems to be the case. Three seasons, 5 INTs.
How often did opposing QB’s throw his way? That plays a large part in stats as well. Safeties are more ballhawks than CB’s. If my CB is a ballhawk he’s getting a lot of opportunities because he’s getting targeted. Trevon Diggs is a ballhawk, but he gets targeted and beat a lot too. Tre White wouldn’t be called a ballhawk, but QB’s don’t try him like they try other CB’s. Stats are relative.

Why all the bitterness toward the man?
Unfortunately, he couldn’t keep up the internal drive necessary to reach his full potential on the football field. He moved on a long time ago. Some Bills fans should do the same. I wish him well in life, and look forward to the Bills 2022 season.

They are definitely getting some primetime games. Won 10 games and made the playoffs. This would be a rematch of the WC game. It may not be the opener but I definitely think one of the Bills vs Pats games is getting on primetime.
The Bills beat the brakes off the Patriots the last two times they played them and the Pats don’t appear to have gotten better. I think the Dolphins take the Pats place with the Bills in prime time. They have talent on both sides of the rock.

Do you feel like they’ve lived up to their draft slots so far?
I don’t think this is a fair question regarding rookies selected where they were. Rousseau did some good things. Basham is a second round pass rusher. That alone tells you he needs development in technique and is a good, but not elite athlete. The greatest pass rushers in NFL history usually have elite physical traits. So, I don’t know what you expected from him as a rookie.

McKenzie’s replacement for next year with a year to learn the ropes. Great pick.
Crowder.

wow— for real? I had no idea. I sort of lumped Villanova in with UConn— elite bball school, but sort of non-existent or start-up football program.Brian Westbrook went there too.

Nice post and the concerns you state are legitimate.
Oh ok that makes everything fine and dandy then. Thanks!
Not likely.
It only takes one team and the Bills were that team. It doesn’t matter that others (draft pundits/fans) never mentioned Bernard. That’s the reality. It doesn’t make everything fine and dandy nor is the sky falling because Beane selected him.
The Bills need depth - players who can fit a role, for now, w/ potential to do more later. Bernard fits that profile. We’ll see if he’s successful.-

Even Kiper couldn't really find anything good to say. Likes his height. I guess this another "Trust Beans" pick? I guess he can always work contraction on the new stadium. This guy wasn't even listed in ANY of the "Best remaining" LB's on the ESPN website. His name isn't mentioned anywhere.
His name was mentioned in the draft war room at OBD. Nobody else matters.

Kind of better than reaching on a receiver. This is the kind of “receiver” we needed— hopefully can finally have a great screen and check down game.
Herbert throws 2-yard dump offs to Ekler who gets like 12 yards out of them. Hoping Cook will be the same kind of weapon.
He can do more than that in the pass game.

Many in the comments said Josh is too high because no titles. It says best athlete though not best team
I think this list is about star power not actual running and jumping.

FYI. Veach says they felt they had to get ahead of the Bills.

He was right, but who he thought the Bills were targeting might have been off. That said, McDuffie is a good football player and definitely a process type of player. I wouldn’t have been surprised if the Bills grabbed him.

The Pat's message board is self destructing right now over Bill drafting Cole Strange, an offensive guard, with their 1st round pick. There is a video link of Sean McVay watching the pick live while he is being interviewed and then absolutely nuking the pick. McVay starts laughing out loud and says they wasted a lot of time looking at Strange thinking he'd be there at pick 104. It's rare to see an NFL coach bomb another coach
One of the best comments directed towards Bill from the thread was; "Your defense didn’t force a got damn punt the last two games vs Buffalo, moron."
It's so nice to see the worst fanbase in the NFL getting what they deserve. 😃

They aren’t dealing with adversity too well. Being in that desert gon be a hard lesson for those jokers. 😏

Now that the drama is over with our 1st pick and addresses a significant need, do you think Beane holds at 57? Would he make a move up for Hall. Otherwise, feel like he goes with BPA.
Thoughts?
Hall or Skyy Moore are my guesses. And he’ll have to move up to do it.

PPS: Whining about a 4th round pick is even sillier. We got the guy they wanted, thats all that matters. And Beane knows more about evaluating football players than this whole forum combined.
Preach...
Tomorrow I’m just here for the meltdown after Beane trades up in round 2. 🤷🏾♂️

What the Cowboys took the Tulsa offensive tackle when if they wanted corner could have taken Dax Hill whose every bit as good as Elam
Hill is a Safety though 🤔. So, what’s your plan B complaint talking point?

We had a HUGE need for speed, both at CB and playmakers. 2nd rounder will be a speed guy on offense.
Yep. And for those who are more worried about picks than players, tomorrow will likely bring more heartburn. I see a trade up coming in round 2. Hall or Moore is my guess.

Not a huge fan. Hope I'm wrong. Definitely don't like having to move up to get him.
Just don't like the analysis I've heard that he doesn't like to tackle.
The analysis I’ve heard is that he’s not great at tackling due to issues with technique; not that he’s not willing to do it. There’s a difference. Technique issues are correctable. You think McDermott is signing off on drafting a DB who doesn’t like to tackle? For real?

Why did they trade a 4th round pick for 2 spots to pick Elam?...
I think he definitely would have been there at 25
Key word is think. No reason to risk losing their guy over a 4th round pick that will have a hard time making this roster.
Forget the picks and focus on how the player fits the scheme/culture. If you’re tied to keeping every pick I have feeling you won’t be happy tomorrow either.-

Clearly they had him a head above the rest as they felt they needed to jump dallas.
Or a team that might have traded into Dallas’ slot.

Strongest division foe?

Dolphins. They’re a QB and Coach away. Talent on both sides of the rock. Coach is unproven as a head man, as good as an OC as he was we have to see how he handles the jump.
And it’s now or never for Tua. If he plays well the Dolphins will make noise. Big IF though.
