  1. Ran a ton of scenarios. Usually we make it if we lose any one of Chiefs, Cowboys or Fish. Two of three at home!
  2. McDermott is a great coach. I am so happy we have him. We are lucky. He is a born leader and he created a positive, winning culture where we used to have a clown car. Perfect? Of course not, what coach is. He is still a young man, he can fix his blind spots and lean into his strengths.
  3. I will say this -- there is not a team in the league about which I feel (as I often did in drought years), "oh crap, there is no way we can beat this team." We can beat anybody if the right team shows up. Eagles game so big - we pull an upset there we go to KC with insane Mojo.
  4. Serious question - could Elam possibly play safety? I know he is a man to man corner, but he has good size and speed and could have tremendous range back there if he has the instincts.
  5. McDermott needs to stay, IMHO. Posted this in another thread - wish everyone felt this way. I hope Pegula does: Man, as a fan since the late 1960s, I don't know how anyone can want McDermott fired. The second half of the sixties, 75% of the seventies, 50% of the 80s and the drought years all stunk to be a Bills fan. McDermott turned that around and made the playoffs every year but one. Josh may be hurt and is playing poorly, and some of the core is getting old, some of it is injured. Coaching change won't help any of that. Time to retool, not scrap the ship. Geez. I appreciate this administration. IMHO, best in the history of the franchise, including Levy/Polian and Saban (the only real contenders I believe).

  7. Yeah, it always amazes me how fast the board goes from despair to bravado. I bill-ieve, but I also remember we lost to Zach Wilson. Jags have the potential to be a very tough opponent and we need to lock-in.
  8. Plus, maybe LaPorta is good. Good for him! Doesn't mean our guy is bad or a disappointment. He is neither!
  9. I think maligning Frazier post hoc is bad juju. He was and is a gentleman who gave it his all.
  10. I am glad McDermott is calling the D plays. But Leslie Frazier was, is and will always be one helluva human being dedicated to his players and his craft. Let's not do the after-the-fact blame game and be happy with what we have.
  11. Kincaid was a brilliant pick by Beane. Exactly what we needed to compliment our #1. I will save this thread - someday Josh helps Kincaid get to the Hall. One of those days I guess - we just beat the undefeated Fish by 28, and everything is possible.
  12. I think both Shakir and Sherfield can be counted on. Plus Kincaid. No reason to waste time on Harty, IMHO.
  13. The interception was great, but I noticed him being disruptive several times before that. Thought it was a jump ball previously with him and Basham, so I wondered why they kept the guy that was a year older. But he is better and I thought he showed out today beyond just the interception.
  14. So funny - I was looking at the thread from when Bernard and Benford were named starters. Everyone was ready to flush Bernard -- wasted pick, he's being forced in because McBeane picked him in the 3rd. What BS. He is a young Milano - very similar games. Speed and instinct. He will grow in bulk like Matt did. Two-headed monster.
  15. Bernard is the freaking man! He is like a young Milano! Two-headed monster!
  16. I am a Benford believer. Seems to have the "it" factor and he hits like a truck. Glad to see they think they hit on the pick with OT. We certainly needed a little more ballast up the middle. Bernard to me is the question mark, but why don't we just get behind the young man? I am the biggest Bernard fan there is unless he proves unworthy of it. But for now, I am glad the young man has his shot. Seems like a good guy and a hard worker. So let's go Bernard! (don't screw up your shot)
  17. I didn't want OBJ and I don't really want Hopkins - though it would be fun. I kind of like our receiver room. I think one of the non-Diggs guys can develop into a 2 for the future. With Stefon's age I don't really want to get older at wideout. And I am not sure (don't really know, must admit), that DHop would be good for the culture. I am good with our wideouts plus Knox and Kincaid. Plus I think Damien Harriss will be a very good signing. We have not had that type of back for a while.
  18. I know nothing but like: Carter, Skinner, Trice, Roy, Evans, Johnson
  19. The Cal safety looks pretty good - but could be there later.
  20. I think I could be happy with Jack Campbell at 27. He does not look slow to me - but hard to tell exactly. He is supposedly extremely instinctive, and that shows up in his clips. I don't care that the mocks have him at 44 - historically the difference between #27 and #44 is not great once you get passed the 15-20 players with "true first round grades." So I like Campbell at 27, but I trust Beane. I don't think Sanders has the sand in the pants to help us against the run.
  21. Two non-lineman I would be open to at #1 -- Bijan Johnson and Antonio Johnson. But yeah, we need O-Line real bad. And while I still have hope for Davis, I would draft someone like Cedric Tillman in the second. Enough with Kumerow already. Cost us Hodgins.
