ganesh

On the flip side, they did hire a young and upcoming hotshot in Greg Williams and we saw how he flamed out...The same goes for Doug Marrone....There is really no magic potion for this.

Actually that was very simple. The team was in cap-hell and they couldn't pay these upcoming FA's (Gilmore, Woods, Darby. Brown, Watkins) as they were already against the cap. They did the smart thing of shipping them for draft picks that will be cheap for their first 3-4 years of the contract. That was the only way for them to come out of cap hell. Would the Bill have wanted a shutdown corner like Gilmore or Darby...Absolutely..Did they have the money or cap space to pay them...Absolutely Not! Dareus was way over-paid and underwhelming. There was no way they would have been able to keep the "Team First" Concept by not paying everyone but an under-achieving player. Cordy Glenn was the only head scratcher for me. Because we had a starting LT and especially when you lost your interior line to retirement, it would have been prudent to have preserved your starting LT. But that was the only way for them to jump up the draft board to draft their franchise QB.

I think he is better than Bortles who has a 20M tag!!!!

this! and hope Allen is part of that group.

And if Lawson is signed to the 5th year of his rookie contract, where would they put the rookie. Hughes on one side and Lawson on the other side. They will address DE (Depth player) in later rounds..can't see them taking a DE unless he can be moved to OLB.

It is a chicken and egg thing..If you are winning, then all of them are retained (unless they get HC gigs). If you are losing you are constantly tinkering to improve your team! I am sure the Patriots have the same situation except for different reasons because their coordinators are constantly in demand to become HCs.

Similar situation as Joe Theismann

Also Flacco would not only tie up a huge contract, they would have to trade draft picks to get him.

because folks in ESPN like to bash weaker teams like Bills...because it is the easiest thing to do...Most of these "intern" writers simply write with a 20/20 hindsight.

And a lot of that is with Coaching. There were four brilliant coaches on the field today. I hope the Bills have the necessary Coaching staff to get this team to the playoffs. The talent is there(especially on the defense). Now they have to get some weapons and protection for Allen. The one other thing you also see in these games is the OL protecting their QB. We need a strong OL to run the ball and protect the QB

It is not just about covering Edelman..It is the quickness with which Brady throws...Give credit to Brady for the clutch plays made today.

They should be hiring Jack Del Rio. He built that defensive roster in Jacksonville.

It was 2nd and 10...There was another down if the call was not made

playing scared against NE

Defense will win championship.

The OL dominating again.

everything going against the Chiefs on this drive

It is horrendous to see how the chiefs OL are just standing and watching the Pats take down Mahomes.

Jaguars is a team built to win now. They will definitely look at the Veteran QB market before jumping to the draft.

I think we already spent money at the DT position with the contract for Star. They also need to sign Phillips which would be a more reasonable contract. The Bills also need to decide on the 5th year option for Lawson...that could be big bucks to spend.

with the QBs we had, he would already been out of the league too!

Work on the short passing game. Throw those slants that allows WR and RBs to gain yards after catch Make clutch throws to keep drives alive HoF QBs like Brady, Brees, Ben and Rodgers - This is what they do well and really WELL!!!! He really has to work on the 1st two. If gets to move the chains the big plays will come. A lot of time his throws were good enough to be caught but the catcher couldn't gain any further yards due to the positioning of the football. This has to change for him to become an effective passer.

I don't think Pouncey would have met the ethical standards set by this organization..his baggage from the Miami Hurricanes time is quite telling

Then why did he follow him to Jacksonville

Our QB group is set with the re-signing of Derek Anderson and Barkley. And both of them are *NOT* going to challenge Allen for the starting gig.
