It's unfair that a millionaire who isn't good at his job is being blamed for being bad at his job? How awful.
He could always, you know...play better.
Tyrod sucked long before losing those receivers...
-
Was he INJURED on the play??
-
1 more pre-season game with a full week of prep? Who knows what can happen with Peterman.
-
But. But. But. He's really a nice guy!!
-
Nobody is suggesting that the Bills are Super Bowl contenders. Two meaningless preseason games tells us nothing about this offense. But you make my point - Cam Newton was NFL MVP that year throwing to a mediocre set of receivers. No one believes Taylor will be an MVP candidate, but it is true that he is a far more accurate thrower of the ball than Newton. His performance last year was far superior to Newton's 2016 seas
Wow. Cam Newton completed 52 % of his passes last year.
-
Great coverage all night really. But he got Mossed on a deep pass. Kinda looked like he might've mistimed his jump, but the replay showed he was only about an inch away from getting a hand on it. And yeah, a PI call.
Obviously the Bills figured they didn't need him.
-
just curious, let's play hypothetical...
given Shady's age and contract, what do u think the Bills could realistically get for him in a trade?
Yes? What could they get? I'd like to know.

Trade the two 1st for the best WR in the draft. Tyrod will need a good target.
Then draft the best CB available
Championship
Uhh, yeah, we tried that already. See Sammy Watkins.
-
He is not healthy and missed 5 games last year. Not looking good at the moment.
What do the Bills do for LT to start the season and as backup for him going down later/
How bad is this contract looking now...
He got his new contract in 2016 and I don't see this being a good thing at this point.

Well Jauron was a free safety in the NFL right? McDermott was a DB in college. So.............
Maybe they both thought they were the most important people on the field then too.... ey?
Right. Didn't know that.
Maybe!
If you can pick up an extra DB here or there.that's fine.
I would also focus on the O-line some, as Glenn is always having some level of health issue it seems,and Woods is getting up there pretty good. IMO.
-
Jauron/Levy's drafts included more DBs drafted during their tenure than any other team in the NFL. And they drafted poorly as well.
-
Ehh, probably. Bills.
Well, if they start drafting DBs like they're the only position on the Team, perhaps...
-
I will take high character players every time. I believe it is an essential of a winning formula. Because Dick Jauron failed you doubt that? Players that have low work ethic become out of shape and get hurt. Players with low character get suspended. Seems we have a D tackle that would have taught you that.

Actually I don't think it is setting him up for failure as much as it is setting him up to prove himself without his go to WR. If he is really "set up to fail" because of one player than he isn't the franchise QB we are looking for anyway.
And what was Sammy's great contribution last year, 430 yards and 2 Tds, so setting up for failure seems to be an exaggeration to begin with.
/\ + 1
I would add, the Bills has the 31st ranked passing game on the league in 2016 WITH Sammy Watkins, so that's pretty much a failure in mo opinion.
Los Angeles Rams added 2 WR from the Bills in Woods and Watkins: Rams finished 30th in passing yards.
-
Point one is totally irrelevant - yes I would draft a 24 yr old SW in the first if he was under a rookie contract and the injuries were not there.
I would not draft a 24 yr old SW with the known injury history and knowing you need to sign him at 13-15 million a year contract with the injury history.
You trade the guy to get a younger version that is price controlled for 4 or 5 years and fits the scheme you want to run.
The Julio Jones comparison is great if we had Matt Ryan and a passing offense, but that is not what we are doing this year or probably next year - so get something and move on.
and so ends the Sammy Watkins debacle.
At least they got SOMETHING for him. I think he probably plays half the season hurt/injured again and this point is totally forgotten.
-
No.
Bad trades.
Sammy is going to be a superstar. With two ones and a two next year we can get the franchise QB we want without the extra two if that's what they are doing. I wouldn't mind the Darby trade if we didn't do the Sammy one. I would have taken Matthews and a 3 for Darby.
Obviously the Bills weren't that interesting in betting he would be healthy this year and probably weren't interested in signing him to a long term contract next year even if he did.
-
The consensus is that there is none.
I pray this discussion will be over after this season.
It will be: Bills have positioned themselves nicely with 2 1st round picks, and probably won't have to move up much to get a QB in 2018 draft.
-
One has to wonder how many balls he has to drop before he starts to slide down the depth chart. He certainly has fallen behind expectations.
It would be nice to have a reliable 6'4" WR. If only Lewis had reliable hands!
And, why did we let Hunter walk? (Other than that he couldn't?)
That's kind of one of the issues IMO: Zay Jones has never caught an NFL pass. He would have to move UP if Holmes can't catch or if Sammy goes down, or both.
-
1. Had anyone on this board heard of him prior to Bills signing.
2. Why do they think he is a legit # 2?
3. BY one report, his dropped passes in training camp are becoming an issue.
4. What happens if/when Watkins goes down?
5. Was this a Whaley signing?

Mills doesn't even look good in camp and Dawkins has yet to challenge him by all reports.
I still think S, LB, and TE are worse position groups especially with regard to depth, but right now whoever starts at RT is the worst of the 22 starters by far.
Options:
1. Deal with it until Henderson comes off suspension. Let Mills and Dawkins platoon until Henderson comes back then cut Mills
2. Give one or more of the interior lineman a few practices at RT - Ducasse played OT in college, Groy has played a few games at OT too.
3. Austin Howard - he and Ryan Clady are the only OTs on the top 50 FA list. He might be worth a look
4. Trade Wood for a very good RT. Hear me out. I would not do this but it could be a scenario. Groy played as well as Wood last season. Wood is in the last year of his deal. Wood is 5 years older than Groy. If a team loses a center in camp, the Bills might be in a position to take advantage of their need.
Most likely scenario is just deal with it. If Cordy is healthy, they can slide protection help to the right side all game long.
Reports are that Cordy Glenn is not healthy, again, or still. IF he can't go and/or misses some time, how does this effect the O-line?
Do that start Dion Dawkins at LT?
Do they let Jordan Mills then stay at RT?
This could be a mess real soon. IMO.
This thread is brought to you by the guy who asked if Ragland could be a surprise cut.
Oh geez, Seriously???
-
I agree.
Well, we found out the hard way that Rob wasn't very good.
In hindsight, IF the Ryan brothers hadn't messed up that defense quite as much as they did, and Ryan could have managed games better, maybe they DO make the playoffs last year.
They certainly had the ground game to make it difficult for other teams, and just enough passing, sometimes.
-
When it was leaked that last year he basically gave the team over to his more fat brother I lost all respect. he had completely checked out and knew he was going to get canned.
LOL
Funny... -
Thank you for responding. TT for sure needs to improve also. I would also include Ryan's poor game day coaching as a problem- I've said that before. Someone won't like that.
Thank you.
Agreed. I found it really amazing that a guy like Ryan after having coached in the league for a while still had so many issues managing and coaching during a game. I would have let
him go just for those issues. Inexcusable in my opinion, of an NFL head coach.
-
The defense was the main reason the Bills missed the playoffs in 2016.
Agreed.
Or. Rex Ryan was the main reason the Bills missed the playoffs in 2016.
Tyrod Taylor had plenty of bad games as well.
Is this the new "normal" for Dareus

Too big, fat, out of shape? Groin, hamstring, ankle?
Seems a lot like last year, without the suspension...
http://www.billsdaily.com/injury/
Marcell Dareus hurt his right ankle on the opening drive. He had it re-taped but was listed as questionable to return but did come back in the game late in the first half but was severely limited the rest of the way only playing 17 snaps. He is being evaluated and they will know more by Wednesday.
9/18
He can't make it through the opening drive 2 games into the season?
