Allen has put over Watson, Mahomes, Burrow and now Hurts in "memorable games". He is turning into Phillip Rivers right in front of our eyes. Something needs to change. I’m sick of seeing lesser talent being dressed as heroes by this inept defensive "guru" of a head coach.
Love the wrestling reference there. Well done.

Imminently, it means Spectrum subscribers cannot watch Jessica Pegula’s U.S. Open match tonight.

And the next three picks were A.J. Green, Patrick Peterson, and Julio Jones. Maybe we just suck at drafting.
That's a distinct possibility too.

For anyone that argues against tanking for any altruistic reasons: When we started 0-8 in 2010 and then went 4-4 in the second half to drop from the top pick to the third pick, the two players chosen in front of us were Cam Newton and Von Miller. Then we took Dareus.
I'd take Newton or Miller over any single player on our roster right now. -

Must be nice to see the future. Can you tell me the next lotto numbers too? I could use the dough
I don't see how your response discredits Billsflyer's point. Think of it like the housing market. You can use your equity to pay cash for a house now, or you can take out a loan because you think a better house will come on the market in a year, but then you are saddled with that debt. The debt is only worth it if you believe the second house to be far superior. If they are even roughly equivalent, use your equity to pay cash (use your own draft pick). It's the best analogy I could think of on the spot.

So we could have resigned Robert Woods in March if 2017, draft Mahomes in 2017 draft, kept Sammy, kept Glenn because we don’t need the draft pick to trade up to get Allen.
So offense with Mahomes, Shady, Watkins, Woods, Clay. Glen and Dawkins anchoring the line, all sure sounds like something that might be ok, at least light years better then our current situation.
This also would allowed us to still draft Edmunds and save the draft pick lost for KB. But yeah, we wouldnt have a good CB.
This. So much this. Those who are comparing the current supporting casts and noting the Andy Reid influence are missing the point. The point is we could have drafted Mahomes with our regular pick, no trades. Instead we traded multiple starters to acquire the draft capital to trade up twice for Allen, and gutted our roster in the process. We could have drafted Mahomes without trading anything.

I disagree with the myth that says a QB can be "ruined".
I absolutely subscribe to this. Witness Christian Hackenberg.

I'm not so sure. The cost for pick #5 could go up if the Giants don't take a QB and don't trade. With likely two of the top QBs still on the board, there may be another team involved. It comes down to cost imo. If the Bills can move to 5 for a decent price, it may be prudent to get there. If the Giants stay put, Beane may not need to do much else. He could get to 4 easily if that were to come in play. What's the worst case scenario? You're still getting an elite non QB at 5 in all likelihood . There are worse things if everything goes off the rails. Worse would be sitting back at 12 far out of the mix at the top of the draft, waiting for tidbits to fall from the big dogs.
The worst that can happen if you move to 5 now is that all four QBs go in the top four and you get your choice of Barkley or Chubb at 5. Both are elite. Not an awful worst case scenario.

Bill O'Brien
He saved the program at Penn State. He doesn't get nearly enough credit for the job he did there.
-
Agree with those that suggest using the franchise tag. It's there, so use it.

Appreciate the Drive In Drive Out verse.

Ok time will tell, Ill make a bet that we can resolve this year, If Hackenberg has to start for the jets, we will win both games in 2016 if Tyrod and 8 out of 11 starters on Offense are healthy for the games.
I agree with you on this. He is not ready to start this year, and we will win at least the first game in Buffalo if Hackenberg has to start it. That's why I think we were a better landing spot for him than NYJ. He wouldn't have to start for us year one.
Week 17 is a difficult to predict because it could be meaningless and feature non-starters more than normal.
I'll be sporting though and take your bet. As a Bills fan, it's a bet I'd be happy to lose.
-
Hell yeah dude hes gonna show up and !@#$ **** up this season, I just hope they do a lot of work on his coverage and speed training during TC and the pre-season like how we did with Darby last year.
I was laughing at the jets fan celebrating "we have our QB!!" i said no you dont buddy hes a back up at best.
Whats up with guy saying 10x more upside??? will you go on record with saying Hackenburg is better then TT rite now? or after 5 years in the league IF he last that long.
I will go on record saying that Hackenberg will be better than TT in five years. Screen cap it.
I overreacted with the 10x comment, but thinking that TT will be the better of the two long term is Kool-Aid.

GTU - he couldn't even throw accurately at his pro day. I never understood the hype on this kid. He wasn't even that accurate in his freshmen year under O'Brien. We can just agree to disagree, but I'm glad we don't have him.
We'll obviously never know what he might have looked like under three years of O'Brien. I doubt he would have regressed like he did under Franklin. His ceiling is higher than Tyrod's, but which way their careers will go is anyone's guess.
-
Maybe. But he's a jet now, which means the NYC media will ruin him because he's terrible.
That is completely possible. Maybe even probable.
-
Christian Hackenberg has 10x more upside than Tyrod Taylor. I say this as a lifelong BIlls fan. Penn State had a high school level offensive line because of the NCAA penalties.
-
Yes. This. Absolutely. Cook is the reason we should NOT trade future assets for a quarterback in THIS offseason. Then do what it takes to go get him in April 2016.
-
With the quality of the 2016 QB draft class (Connor Cook, Dak Prescott, Kevin Hogan, Christian Hackenberg), the Bills would be stupid to give away the farm for another also-ran QB in this off-season). I swear the sometimes the average fan knows more about college football than the Bills' front office does. What does their scouting department do on Saturdays?
-
Wanted to bring this thread back to the top. Do we have any destinations in mind? Does anyone have plans for tomorrow?

Some of us migrated to Home Team Grill on Sunday afternoon. Four of us sat at a table in the middle of the room and watched the game. It's about five or six blocks further west on Main St. Gene talked to the manager and is going to try to call them to work something out. But he is going to the game on Sunday so this wouldn't start till after the bye week IF anything gets arranged.

San Francisco. Columbus Day weekend.

Ok, we can't just run the ball three times and punt. We need a DRIVE.
-
Can anyone explain why when there were offsetting personal fouls after the play in the first half, we had to replay the third down, but on this one the down counts?

I am going with a friend that lives in Manhattan. He assures me there is bus transportation from Port Authority to all Meadowlands events. So anyone can get out there from midtown that way.
