You bring in competition..... Unless you have a Brady, Rogers, Manning, you have competition and whoever is better wins, and with TT running we all know he is going to get hurt. I'm not sure he will ever develop into a top 10 qb either, however has been an improvement and surprise.
-
I'm not sure he would be a very good safety. I would almost rather draft or pick up a true safety over trying to teach or see if he can play safety.

Beat the Jets to start with. Then fix the issues with the coaching staff, since Rex it staying, trim back his control and bring in a defensive coach to run the defense. Draft smart (don't reach or think you are out smarting everybody). Might be time to look over the whole scouting department. Then do a complete look over the roster and see who fits for the personnel that is needed, plus there salary, age, and production. I know it is hard at time to let players that become liked, example Fred Jackson, however I would much rather the running back Williams and the new find, over Jackson and Boobie Dixon moving forward (not to take away for Jackson very good person and teammate, so players like Kyle Williams, Mario Williams, Mckelvin, and others with high contracts and age should be looked at.

Oh please stop. Belichick and all of his coaches are nothing without Brady. Seattle's defensive secondary was a MASH unit. And it still took a dumb call for the Patriots to win. The only thing Belichick did was recognize the greatness of Brady after waiting five rounds to pick him and have the guts to keep Bledsoe on the bench.
I agree, like most good coaches, they benefit from have a great quarterback. He does have a good system and is total control, something Bills lack now.
-
Why is he a good choice? Because he's from the Packers and they are really good because of Rodgers?
I agree with you, when GM's have good, or great quarterbacks, they also look so much smarter.....
-
We need to get Watkins some help, that is for sure. I would agree take care of new #2, keep Woods as the #3, and Hogan maybe as a #4 (however I would bring in some competition and see if he can beat them out). As for Goodwin, time to move on... BTW what happened to seeing what Lewis has. If the Bills are going to improve this is an area that need to be upgraded, not huge changes.
-
Looking at numbers... probably not. They'll probably both be there in the end. No one actually plays in these things anymore.
I agree with you. And those chosen usually are media driven. Then once a player makes the pro bowl, they all of a sudden up there contracts. There are times at players stats look much different due to the system they play in, and what they are asked to do, not actually how good they are.
-
Part of it is the drop off of the press and taking up blockers by the defensive line this year, and Rex Ryan and Thurman. He hasn't played his best football this year, neither has Bradford. They are not only missing tackles, and getting blocked out of the holes, they don't seem to create turnovers.....
-
Let me go hit my thumb with a hammer and if it doesn't hurt, then get him....... Ouch that hurt like heck.... NO WAY

Is it time to completely open up the playbook and see what Tyrod Taylor can do? In today's nfl you have to be able to pass the football. The run heavy offenses, can and will only win around 50% of the game, without a solid to great defense. I think it is time to let Tyrod throw it around 35 to 40 times for the rest of the season, and see what he can do. Because there will be times to win a game it will take as many as 40 to 50 passes. I know that to win in December teams need to be able to run the football due to weather, however what about the the games prior to December. I'm not saying don't run it at all, you have to, but for the rest of this year open it up.
-
Are you working in the mail room with Buddy the Elf ??
-
I think he becomes a victim of the salary cap, and either due to the new defensive or his play not earning that big of a contract.
-
Two main numbers that mean really anything to me 1) 15 yr playoff drought and 2) record, and 5-6 not getting it done. The others stats are just that stats.... Another number that i see, is the $100 plus contract that was given for MD and he seems to be following in another players, who got a crazy contract, name Heynesworth..... To follow that up wtih the crazy contract that was issued for "let me see how many personal fouls and offside flags i can get" Hughes....
-
When you have a probowl type quarterback coaching is always easier, and coaches that have the fortune to have a great quarterback always win more. Before Brady, he was an average coach.
-
Bills want to earn some respect, winning a game like this will help, and keep from losing games that they shouldn't.
-
if they draft well enough and keep their coaching staffs and schemes stable, they don't need to acquire expensive FAs every year to build the team. Lower tier FAs that provide solid depth at a manageable price tag are usually more valuable IMO. Core starters should be drafted and developed, IMO. If you keep changing schemes and philosophies on either side of the ball (or both) every year or two you are stuck having to hand out big contracts so you can effectively and quickly change schemes. The Bills already said they are not going to be players in FA this year, and are focusing on Re-signing their own guys and acquiring new talent in the draft.
I would have to say you are right,
-
I guess I'll just say that I don't think Whaley is doing a bad job. Sorry everyone.
I would agree, however what does not doing a bad job equal to?? Free agency pickup are not like hitting with trades and draft picks (which is most important).
-
While not perfect or elite - we are drafting, trading, and paying players better these past few years than we have the 10-15 years prior. I think this is mostly due to Whaley.
I think our problems this year are coaching related, not the gm. We have a talented roster, that is because of Whaley.
Signs saying to fire him wouldn't fix the way this team is playing.
They have. I will say they have on a few occasions, however I also think we might be over paying, like Jerry, get me jump off side or get a personal foul, Hughs, and the contract we gave DM, and a few others. Every team hits on some draft picks as well.
-
We can only hope sooooo.......
-
Being should a high draft pick (and what all the Bills gave up to move up to get him) and how several other receivers drafted after him (mainly Beckham) have hit there mark in the nfl, i can see why both fans and Watkins can be upset. One has to be honest about how much has been injured, the same way they need to be honest about him not being targeted correctly. He has talent, however seems to lose focus at times and drops easy throws, and stalls drives at times. I would say tweeter wars with people not a winning cause.
-
I remember seeing that play, and thought the same thing.
-
Defense has been poor at times. As for all the so called pro bowlers on the DL, I can't remember many plays being made by any of them. Then there was the so called backup players, who wasn't going to have drop off in play, might be true with starters, not looking like much; however they haven't even stepped up.
-
I also believe having a good offense, not what we have displayed the past several years, makes your defense much better.
-
The Buffalo Bills are too undisciplined, have too many penalties, and have way too many injuries to key players, too early in the season.
Reason: Incompetent Head Coach Rex Ryan.
I would agree with most of this however, not the injuries being Ryan's fault. Seems like every year a few times go through a year where injuries always cause the to have to change who they what to be.
WR's instead of Sammy?

If Watkins had a better offensive coordinator and coach, plus proven qb (TT has been a surprise, but had EJ Manuel under center for 3 games) his numbers would put him in the first group.
