  1. While Beane and McDermott are typically lumped together, it’s important to remember that they are graded differently internally. Should the Bills not produce as expected, I would expect McD to be the first to go, not both. Beane has been masterful thus far. With that being said, I fully believe the leash for McD is very long...and should be.
  2. Yup to the article. I am so thankful we didn’t fall for the hype (not that I expected Beane to do so) as he just didn’t play like a first rounder. Barely like a second rounder.
  3. They’re both real and are back in our vernacular due to Al Roker. ?
  4. I no longer fit in anything I’ve ever worn...including what I’m wearing right now. Funny what aging does to us. ?
  5. Yeah! Where is @26CornerBlitz??????? It’s been forever.
  6. I’m excited about it with this regime. QB’s will always bubble to to the top and that should help us. We will get two to three game changers from this draft, in my opinion.
  7. https://abcn.ws/2vcjNlG It’s being released under Florida law.
  8. Nope. It was discussed when he was coming into the draft that he has never had a QB coach in his life.
  9. Josh Allen was thrown to the wolves as well. He survived. Different circumstances, of course, but thrown nonetheless. Rosen has never appeared to me to be a great QB. He’s simply too fragile.
  10. Like Kelly, Josh has guts like there’s no tomorrow. So long as he gets proper tutelage during the year AND the offseason, he is the real deal.
  11. He got a ticket elsewhere and failed to pay the $204 fine.
  12. I certainly agree that it worked out for them but the Bills were not in the same position. Nathan Peterman...great guy and turnover machine. Allen needed to be inserted and it paid dividends. As he has never has a QB coach, played against top tier talent, etc, last year worked out perfectly for him and us as fans. That includes the injury where he had the chance to process what happened and what will happen.
  13. In my opinion, many of the moves on the line this offseason are temporary. We do need to draft along both lines and Williams has been a monster versus top level talent in the SEC.
  14. I would love Williams. I’m a Bama guy (one kid graduated, another (hopefully) going and two nephews went. He fits the mold of our culture and tenacity. He is a rabid, angry individual on the interior and a strong person. That equals a good fit.
  15. I view them as an opportunity to learn about players I didn’t know much about...nothing more.
  16. No argument here. I believe you’re correct. Time will tell. What I want is what Beane wants: I trust him. ?
  17. I’d prefer the T from Bama or Florida if that’s where we’re going with the pick. Both are more polished.
  18. I travel all over and always have Bills gear. Again, regardless of where you travel, if you’re not comfortable wearing Bills gear then how are you a fan? I don’t get it.
  19. This topic should be locked as it ppears to haven been made without thought. If you’re a Bills fan, why are you afraid of saying, “I’m a Bills fan!”? If you are afraid to wear Bills gear, you are, by definition, NOT a Bills fan (in my humble opinion).
  20. This. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, a line is a sum of its parts. A rock solid C can cover for mediocre G play and great G play can compensate for mediocre T play (in some cases). The point is, it’s how do they gel? If they gel well, they’re good.
  21. They’re cumulative, and that’s the issue. The more you get, the higher the chances of long term cognitive issues (CTE). As with all things Bills these days, I trust they had a neuro involved and made a decision based on all of the facts. I, for one, am glad we got him! The anchor!
  22. Respectfully, I’m not forgetting those things. Of course an employer can do that but black balling someone from an entire industry is flat out wrong. I agree that people have the right to disagree, wholeheartedly. Our country, as a whole in my opinion, has switched to the mantra of ‘I disagree with him/her so I hate everything about them’. That is shortsighted and stupid. He was, I believe, using his voice the best he could about a very real problem. I am not condoning or agreeing with it, I am simply stating that he did what a gentleman would do without name calling and disrupting others to shed light on a concern.
