    If he winds up being Chris Kelsay/Ryan Denney, I'll be happy. That is, an edge setting, run stopping defensive end who can pitch in some pass rush in spurts and add value to the defensive line rotation.

    And before anyone waves away my invocation of those two names: One played 10 years in the NFL, the other played 9. That's a good career.

    Jackson's a third round pick, and usually edge rushers that fall to the third round -- great DL draft or not -- don't turn into premium pass rushers. Obviously, it's not a guarantee, and I'll be rooting for him to exceed expectations and ball out for Buffalo. But if he can work into the rotation, add some juice, and set the edge, I'll consider him a worthwhile 3rd round pick.

     

    I rather have him boom or bust then to get a Kelsey type from him

    To me this was the peak of the drought era. I also met my first TBD poster in a crap bar in Kalamazoo Michigan for this game. If you're still here I don't remember your handle, I was formerly Kzoomike. We had so much talent on this roster.

    Best game I ever been to 31-0 home opener vs Pats the Lawyer Milloy game.

    A random one I just remembered that meant a lot to me because it was the first game I remember watching with my dad, a die-hard Buffalonian who got me into Bills fandom - an early season match up against the Houston Oilers at the Astrodome in 1989.

     

    This game had everything. Kelly and Moon in a shootout. A blocked FG TD return. A blocked punt TD return. Went to OT where the Bills won 47-41 on a Kelly-to-Reed TD pass. If this exact game had been replicated in the Super Bowl, it would be inarguably known as the greatest football game of all time. 

     

    I believe this is the game where Derrick Burroughs injured his neck as well. This one a classic I will never forget.

    Yes, we all love the classics, but what random-ass games stick out for you as a great memory?

     

    I'll start by nominating our home game against Miami in the 2002 season. Ricky Williams running wild, the snow coming out of nowhere, Bledsoe and Moulds taking over, Jim Kelly running up and down the sidelines in jubilation. Just a great, fun game all around.

    I was in attendance for this one great game. I believe the Dolphins started the game hot with a 2 score lead before we came back and blew them out. 

     

    1994 Bills vs Fins 42-31 Bills Sunday night football in Miami. One play that stands out in particular in that game was Andre Reed scoring a 83yd TD in the 4th quarter where he turns around at around the 30 yd line and taunts the Dolphins players as he's running backwards into the endzone. I was in attendance for this one and that TD happened on my side of the field. 

     

    1989 Bills vs Oilers 47-41 OT thriller - Kelly vs Moon One of the greatest games I ever watched also was the game CB Derrick Burroughs injured his neck and never played again in the NFL.

     

    1997 Bills vs Dolphins 

     

    2002 Bills vs Vikings 45-39 Bills win in OT . Bledsoe vs Culpepper. Crazy back and forth game Eric Moulds and Peerless went off that day.

    The Bills/Dolphins Monday Night Football game with John Holocek making a huge play in 1999. That i my mind was the greatest defensive team effort in Bills history. That team on defense was SPECIAL.

     

    https://www.theledger.com/story/news/1999/10/05/smith-bills-have-fun-against-dolphins/26673158007/

    I was at this game to wasn't this the game Kurt Schultz destroyed Rob Konrad on a screen pass ? I will never forget that hit right in front of me at around the 25yd line of the Dolphins.

    but we were talking about the Eagles' 2024 defense...

    The point is they went to Superbowl lost and then rebuilt there D 2yrs later it doesn't take forever to rebuild a defense in the NFL. McD defense has been getting torched in the playoffs losses for yrs now.

    To my knowledge, neither plays defense.
     

     And it’s not exactly a newsflash that the Eagles’ defense is better than Buffalo’s.

    In a way it is a newsflash considering the Eagles D was 31st in NFL in 2023.

    He actually said "including the playoffs."

    When you average in those games, we were #1.

    With 3 mins left against KC that 30 a game didn't help. You need difference makers in the playoffs...

    I have been brutal on Beane in the past but credit where it’s due, I cannot give this draft anything less than an A.

     

    His first four picks (Hairston, Sanders, Jackson and Walker) were all home runs and I liked the positions that he drafted after that..

     

    Outside of his 2018 draft class where he took Josh Allen, this may be his best draft after that..

     

    I’m going to give this an A.

     

    Well done Beane, you did good..

    I'll be happy with 3 base hits and 1 homerun! 😂

    So last year scoring, the Lions, Bill and Ravens were top 3. 

    https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/nfl-top-scoring-teams-2024

     

    Did it feel hard to score for us last year to you guys? We basically did it without a field stretcher. How will it feel to you all if we did it again, TOP 3. Without a true viable field stretcher on the team? How do we continue moving forward with THIS team on offense with the WR/HB/TE combination we have on the team now, or do we still need a EDGE WR to stretch this field this year?

     

    Just a question to you folks. This may of been covered in other topics... just wanted to read more direct answers to this topic.

     

    Thanks. 

    Success doesn't just carry on from previous season teams will be ready for what we like to do and try take it away. With that being said we got to add a few wrinkles schematically and hopefully find a Speedster in the draft that can stretch the field.

    The rest of it just says the same thing in more words anyways :thumbsup:

    Yeah this team is lacking of difference makers at critical positions. It's time that the phrase be the best version of yourself falls into players that we can make that way not players already on there way. If there's a character concerns player that falls to us whether it's Green or someone else we need to draft them.

    Get after the QB with a DT and we could bring back Leodis Mckelvin to play corner. 
     

    If you can’t pressure the QB it doesn’t matter if we have Champ Bailey back there . It won’t matter 

     

    We need a dominant DT it’s far more important 

    I agree 💯 plus there's that other reason the Bills do very well drafting and developing late round picks at the corner position take 2 corners in the 5th one of them is sure to pan out in Mcd system

    To me it feels like we're just spinning wheels instead of improving.

     

    We already did this with drafting Kincaid while we have Knox under a high-paying contract. And while I like Dalton, I can't say the move has paid off or made a marked improvement to the team.

     

    Drafting an Ed clone who might be marginally better doesnt do much to move the needle for the team.

     

    Put someone better NEXT to Ed since we all know that improving one spot on either of the Lines directly helps the guys next to him. JMO

    I hit agree from the first sentence that I read.

    You have a point, but Sapp and Moss stuff was over smoking pot. Moss had a history of being a bad teammate. It seems the Green stuff is a little different on the off-field concerns spectrum. 

     

    This regime will not touch that guy. 

    I agree this regime won't touch em doesn't mean he won't turn out to be a great football player

    I voted Amos (I just think he is perfect for our scheme) but if Scourton was on the list..... I'd have gone for him.

     

    My view on Green is if he is there at #30, you should stay away. Because he only makes it that far is the off field stuff is bad (and I have spoken to one beat reporter this week, not Bills different market who said what we know at this point is tip of the iceberg).

    I know that could be the case but then again Warren Sapp and Randy Moss amongst others fell due to character concerns and turned out to be gold jacket players.

    Younger doesn't equal better. Von had some flashes last year and will be on the books for roughly 8 million if cut.  That's 8 million that can't be spent on any addition young or old.  That is unless Von takes a pay cut to the 8 Million and then he's just playing for the Bills on what it'll cost them this year no matter what. Personally I would rather just keep Von at the 8million on the books than cut him and still have to spend and additional 2 mill on a Toohill type for a 4th DE type. 

    Time to move on Von has been a major disappointment and he's reached the end of his career give his snaps to Solomon let him develop properly

    That's basically what Joe Marino has been saying for the past week. He must take a pay cut at least equivalent to the $8.3 million (I may not have remembered exactly correct, but I'm sure I'm close) cap relief we'd get by cutting him. Marino says even then he's fine either way, would kind of prefer to just cut him and get younger.

    Cut him and get younger that's the way to go

    There is remarkably little consensus among draft pundits about player rankings in this year's draft after the top 10 or so.  Most don't think Alexander is a first round value, but some do.  In this mock, some players Buffalo could consider at #30 include Tre Harris WR, Darien Porter CB, Walter Nolen (another 3 tech DT), Donovan Ezeiruaku DE, Malachi Starks S and Nic Scourton.  A trade down is a real option too simply because of the lack of consensus about the quality of individual players.  Who knows what Beane's big board will look like compared with the players who are still available at #30.

    Scourton gives me Boogie vibes . Tweener types usually don't transition to NFL game well

    After Trent Murphy and Tim Settle, I say Washington can keep their defensive linemen to themselves. :angry:

    Look at Philadelphia he says.

     

    Well, they draft extremely well.  People act like they "bought" their DL, some they did, but it was drafting those monsters inside that made the difference this season.  How'd Philly do LY btw?

     

    With a draft loaded with DL talent, this is not the time to be "buying" vets/trading for a $16m salary.

     

    Why is Washington trading him?  Another contender coming off a NFCCG loss?  

    I would agree with you if Beane showed he can identify talent on the Dline in the draft but obviously that's not the case. We should trade for a Ace Edge player like Trey or Garrett no matter the cost

    He will get more than that I think. I don't hate the idea of Stokes. He is certainly a guy that means you are not required to force it in the draft.

    Not sure he'll get much money he wasn't even a starter on the Packers and he has a history of injuries. I think he's going to sign a prove it deal somewhere 

  19. 1 hour ago, GunnerBill said:

     

    I think the Bills will be interested in Stokes in FA if he doesn't sign. They liked him in that 2021 draft. I am less persuaded. 2024 was his best year but he still had plenty of ups and downs and gave up a 97 passer rating when targeted. 

    By no means is he a finished product but there is plenty of upside to him as he's entering his prime and could be a great fit in Mcd system. The plus side is he won't break the bank and can be a very good #2 corner for us with upside to develop into a #1 caliber corner. I would offer him a 1yr 4 mil deal and a chance to start.

    That's a pass for me. Benford is going to get a big extension and I don't believe in paying two CBs at once. Draft a CB somewhere between rounds 1 and 4 and let him compete with a baseline vet for the CB2 role.

    You know why they want to trade him other then his injury history they have 2 very good corners then want to sign back Stokes and Ballentine i say we steal Stokes of the free agent market. He's 25yrs old going into his prime and we can get him for a reasonable price. Stokes would be a great #2 corner opposite Benford.
