Bleeding Bills Blue

And waited way too long to fire the GM. And didn't fire the coach when they should have...

Garoppolo is in play as well. For less picks than it would take to move up to select a rookie.

We were 7-9 with a clown for a HC. We lost some players, added some players. We didn't get drastically worse anywhere so i don't see why we cant be at least where we were a year ago or better. I'm assuming McDermott feels the same way.

Does he want to come here?? He has 8 kids... and has lived in SOCAL since what 2004? He also has a full no trade clause.. LA is what 2 hours from SD? How far is Buffalo?

I mean - injury to miss 2016 is one thing... but he still cant suit up for OTAs? in 2017? Anyone got any more information?

He isn't wrong about Tyrod. The inherent problems with him as a QB are and will be there again. But I think he is wrong about a 4 win total... JMO

McCoys 16 for 58... and 6 QB hits in 22 snaps. I don't feel like counting - but probably numerous negative plays. 8 accepted penalties. Can you at least acknowledge that the entire team... didn't come to play?

sure - fine blame him. He isn't devoid of blame.

And that loss was largely on the offensive line

Sure Then Dareus = Dareus and sammy = Sammy it's legit not possible to expect more from a player after a really bad year?

How about the Oakland game - Watkins back from injury on limited snaps... Goodwin, Hunter, lewis, tate. Oh and O'leary and Gerald Christian at TE.

No i just don't like arguing with you because you're an ass. But if you insist Assuming people remain relatively healthy Dareus is back at 100% and plays well. He was suspended and injured for much of the year. Hughes was injured for much of the year and played through it. Lawson missed camp and wasn't a great fit for the 2016 defense. Ragland comes back and provides at the very least, adequate ability. White - downgrade from Gilmore. Hyde - even if he's a downgrade from williams... he actually plays meaningful snaps. Same with Poyer. We had Ihedigbo and duke williams taking meaningful snaps last season on defense. On offense: We still have mills - so even if dawkins doesnt start its at the very least a wash. Wood missed time as did glenn. Watkins healthy would be a huge upgrade over what we had last season. Woods is better than anyone we signed. Behind woods were goodwin/street fa's. But Watkins missed a ton of time and wasn't dynamic in many of the games he did play in. RB is still shady, and i guess is a minus with teh loss of gillislee. But i'm not paying a backup RB that much money no matter what. I don't think we're dramatically worse, and people overreact to the schedule every year. That is my opinion.

I'm done arguing with you on this guy - its easier to just ignore you.

Theyre not coached by an idiot... We had league worst safeties a year ago - i don't see how our LBs are worse than last year, or how you can possibly say our WRs are worse than a year ago.

I guess i see where you're coming from. But if you think you're close this year... don't you pull the trigger and add a player who can help get you over the top? Especially if it allows you to dump a holmes and try and re-coup a relatively high comp pick. Basically can function as buying a 3rd round pick.

To be fair - im just echoing the sentiments of what i hear on the board. The sarcasm didn't come across I guess. I liked our last 2 drafts and think you can win with Tyrod. Therefore I am stupid apparently. I think Marcel can turn it around, and think we were 7-9 with some of the worst coaching in the league.

Why is the future bright? I don't think I understand. We didn't pick up the 5th year on the WR we gave up 2 firsts for. The last draft yielded an injured lineman who looked slow, a linebacker who supposedly can't cover, and a lineman who apparently gets pushed around. We have an overpaid DT who eats our whole cap (literally), and a 30+ year old running back. Our draft this year yielded a CB who is worse than the guy hes replacing, a WR who projects as a #2, and a Right tackle. We don't have a QB and we have an old overpaid roster. If Buffalo made the playoffs and Tyrod/the offense had similar numbers to last year. Would you still replace him?

I don't know how often we'll be in 12 personell vs 21 anyway. Maclin plugs in as a starter who plays almost all the snaps. Barnidge plays maybe half? I guess we assume he plugs in when clay inevitably misses time. We did add a top fullback so i assume they plan to use him some to offset the need for a good TE2.

Barnidge never had more than 13 catches before the last 2 seasons and is 31 years old. Maclin had his worst year last year due to injury, has had 2 80+ reception seasons and 5 seasons of 60 or more.

Gross.

Yeah - first thing i saw. And it is the least competitive division in football... the same team will win.

I think my least favorite thing about rex's defense was all the checks. A - you cover this guy, unless he goes over there, then B will cover him. B - you cover THIS guy, unless A's guy comes in, then you cover him and pass your guy off to C. Oh and C- youre helping cover A's guy unless B's guy comes into your area. Oh.. and chris hogan? Dont bother covering him...

He can be the Aaron Donald type of disruptive inside presence. Having that makes everyone else's job easier. QBs step into other players for sacks, LBs/DBs can jump routes for under pressure QBs. It makes everything else easier when the QB can't get comfortable back there.

Remember when we got rolled for 200 yards by Ajayi (twice), and Bell.. and just generally had one of the worst rushing defenses in the NFL? I do... This guy can tackle, and this guy can hit. His pass rushing abilities aren't bad for someone who traditionally played MLB. He will be a useful player.

I'm concerned that there isn't an out in his contract til 2019... The bigger mistake was drafting CJ spiller in the first round when we had jackson and lynch. You gave yourself a reason to get rid of lynch by doing that - and we needed Oline help and WRs. We went into 2010 with Lee Evans in a walk year - a 7th round pick in stevie johnson, and 2 UDFAs in nelson and donald jones... And we trade lynch, and draft spiller instead of Dez. Woof. Great job Buddy!
