Carolina Panthers is my guess as well, he will come full circle after starting his college career at NC State.

So Whaley drafted a DROY candidate in the 2nd rd and had the best FA signing of the year.
Shhhh!!! Don't bring facts to the discussion, he sucks!!! (sarcasm)

Classic.
Herm has to realize now that as a member of the media and society he is now part of the problem and not the solution.
I agree with Herm and pretty courageous, IMO (he is in a tough spot working for ESPN) but seems utterly disgusted with how the coverage of the game has become more or less reality TV.
I really hope that the team concept to winning becomes more of the focus again & the so-called "good for TV" approach takes a hike...I know a pretty Utopian thought indeed, smh!

^ That would also explain Detroit's misery. But they have the Red Wings, so they are not quite as low.
The championship franchise's from Detroit (Red Wings, Tigers & Pistons) drink their water from the Lake St. Clair treatment facility, LOL! The Lions have yet to venture upstream...

No matter how bad Bills fans have it, Browns fans have it worse. Factory of Sadness indeed.
I'm starting to think its the curse of Lake Erie...something other than just chemical waste is berried in the bottom of that lake!

The guy covering the center is egregious to the max. How could they line up in a clearly illegal front?
I hate to beat the drum of the ref's but usually the ref taps the defender if he's covering the center...why not today?
The video of the refs doing this in a game last year (NE vs Jets) went viral, the league's response was that it was a common practice to avoid calling a penalty.

@Andy_Benoit: #Patriots #Bills Film: Collins first sack was through A-gap. Chandler Jones aligned there presnap and illegally held C Wood post-snap.
Of course this was an oversight by the refs...D'ope! There were more but I understand that not all infractions will be called...still stings!
@Andy_Benoit: #Bills Film: after Taylor scrambled for 23 yds on first snap vs. man-free blitz, #Patriots on second drive rotated to man-free-lurk...
Good stuff!
Great post!

Not only quick pressure, but I also think we need to focus on trying to swat passes at the line. He gets rid of the ball too quickly to worry too much about sacks... just push the OL back and get your hands up.
I totally agree with this...just like years ago with D. Marino.
Have the D-line rush Brady's passing lanes especially, when NE setup in the stack formation on those rub routes, with hands up when he tries those quick hits to the smaller receiver's.
Follow that up by jamming Gronk (easier said than done) as much as possible at the LOS.
On offense- open it up and throw downfield early & on short down and distance...Belicheat likes to bring his safety's up to intimidate the WR's on slants & hooks early in the game (see Denver game & any other game against Peyton). Using double moves & get open routes will keep them off balanced, IMO.
-
And the "haters" say Marrone had nothing to do with EJs play?? I wonder if the guys at WGR will expound on this revelation?? Didn't hear Matthew even mention this on his show this afternoon. Must be too much Team Tyrod in his veins.
+1

That's stupid. A better offense would be don't thrown screens to your stud receiver who is great at screens; run your homerun threat running back up the middle constantly; and move plodding OT to G. That's how you build an offense. Playing to your players' strengths? Crazy talk.
Brilliant!!! LOL!!!
-
So you believe that there are 8 openings on this years team?
I agree with trading down in this draft but I would prefer to receive more picks for next year draft...that would be a smart thing to do.
My apologies bladiebla, my response was intended for the OP...some how the quote went astray to you.

We have Harvin who can stand in if Woods goes down, or, in a pinch, Hogan.
I'm starting to feel like we should go CB with our 2nd rounder. McKelvin is a likely cap cut next offseason, Graham will be another year older and be a safety at that point, Gilmore would be PAID, which players have a possibility to regress afterwards, and beyond those two, we have underwhelming depth. I'm a fan of Robey, but not on the perimeter. Rex loves CBs, and I think our MAJOR needs, OL, can be addressed in the 3rd as it's a deep year, or by a June 1st veteran cut.
I believe this reference was for C/G- Eric Wood, NOT WR Robert Woods.

Thanks: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/eli-harold?id=2552494. Seems like a sensible pick if it happens.
I feel like the Bills have enough pass rushers though. Someone who can cover and run-and-chase (a David Harris type) seems more of a need given the lack of decent traditional LBs on the roster and the high potential for injury at the position.
I agree...maybe a Shaq Thompson as a hybrid SS/ILB in a nickle set would be ideal.
He is a playmaker with the experience of playing in space. But some scouting report cite him for being more evading as opposed to taking on blocks & gap containment in a base set.
We can always use playmakers...Go Bills!

As of right now, the Bills have five linebackers on the team, and only two are credible NFL players: Preston Brown and Nigel Bradham. The others are Jimmy Gaines, Ty Powell, and Randell Johnson. One could argue that Manny Lawson is a linebacker, but he really isn't one at this point in his career and he isn't listed as one in any case. He's a DE. I don't see Spikes coming back either. I suspect the undrafted Gaines is on the team because despite going to Miami, he's a local - from Getzville and a Canisius HS grad. Both Powell and Johnson were seventh round picks (Powell was drafted by Seattle) and presumably fit for the ST squad only.
I could see the Bills going LB with the 50th pick or 81st pick. They have a clear and definite need.
That is why I adjusted my tagline to reflect a guy like Eli Harold being a possible option at 50 if he drops a bit.
-
During the preseason, at least publically, Marrone admitted they coached him to be more careful - to take the ball OB or to dive - in order to not hurt himself last year.
Thank you for pointing that out plus Hackett even touched on the fact that EJ was advised NO to try "to take it to the house" regarding running with the ball and the importance of him staying on the field.
Regardless, time will tell...if EJ in fact does re-invent himself the team & the fan base will benefit!
What's with the bashing of the guy? He's been a model teammate & reflection of the organization...I am pulling for the kid! Go Bills!!!
-
Whaley is a great GM.. No GM hits them all out of the park but I like his aggressiveness and he has brought us some good players
I agree totally with this ^^^^^.
I'm giving him a B+ for the record but it wasn't one of the choices in the scale (had to pick B).
If one the QB's has an "Andy Dalton" like season I'd upgrade to an "A" for the year. Go Bills!!!

Out of this very good post, this is your response...smh!
Exhibit A of how the receiver is NOT prepared to hear a message!
-
Yeh, about what I was going to say, confuse the QB, don't give him his first two reads... after that better than even odds the play goes for nadda.
Not trying to simplify thing but this confusion you mention is harder said than done when the OC scheme's to reveal the defensive call...zone, dog blitz or man. Once that's revealed the match up is 50-50 ball to the playmaker in space.
Remember we are dealing with a coach (OC) with an NFL blocking scheme and approach...besides Chan, we really haven't had this type of offensive approach.
We're so use to one side of the ball being so incompetent, ie. D. Juron (decent Def/ horrible Off), Chan (decent Off/ horrible Def), Marrone (horrible Off/ Great Def).
This staff that's assembled by Rex is an all-star cast, IMO...better than any seen in my lifetime with this organization. Go Bills!!!
This reminds me a lot of when TO came over to play and we were saying the same exact thing. "How's a defense going to cover TO and lee evans on thee outside, roscoe parish in the slot, Shawn Nelson at TE and Freddy and Marshawn in the backfield?" All comes down to who's at QB.
Problem there was who was the OC?
BTW, wasn't Parrish injured the majority of the year?
I do believe the offense had some pretty good numbers early before Juron's melt-down...didn't we start out 5-0?
-
Yup, they'll have 8 in the box.
Let's hope they try this approach...it will be short lived!
Way too many ways to get the ball to play-makers in space and/or misdirection plays with a eight in the box.
Roman & staff > Mudd & Jeff (pop warner's approach)

Iupati won't come to Buffalo.
Why not?

Maybe they really don't like EJ. Don't forget that last season the plan was pretty much "let's hope EJ is good" until the team panicked due to his absolutely incompetent performance during camp and the preseason and signed Orton right before Labor Day.
It took just a few games for them to bench EJ. What does that tell you?
"Marrone just wanted to win games! It wasn't FAIR!"
Exactly. Marrone wanted to WIN GAMES. EJ was benched because he was getting in the way of that happening. They put in an out of shape guy who drinks Jack instead of Gatorade and whose heart was only halfway into playing in there at QB and the offense instantly looked better.
EJ faces an extremely steep climb in earning this franchise's trust after that. They went all in on him last offseason and it blew up in their faces.
With somewhat established guys like Cassel and Locker you have a bunch of NFL film to watch on them, so you have a good idea of what you're getting.
It could very well end up being Locker/Cassel (whoever wins the camp competition) and a rookie or EJ as a developmental prospect. If they do sign Locker or Sanchez I would almost expect them to cut EJ.
To be fair, the game plan for EJ was to learn from a vet QB but Fitz's departure & Kolb's injuries derailed the plan.
Also I'd rather judge EJ's potential with a quality offensive mind & coaching staff before I will go with the debacle Mutt & Jeff turned out last year offensively (no pun)...sure Orton initially jump started that pop warner offense but eventually that pig reared its ugly head. The entire offense sputtered under his leadership...every player on that side of the ball regress during the season including Orton.
By all accounts EJ did learn a lot from the Orton experiment, that's testament in itself, IMO.
-
Bpa
This right here ^^^^^^!
The Bills will fill their needs in FA and get whomever they deem best player ready for the NFL in the draft.
-
I always suspected that. EJ needs to grow a sac if he wants to make it in the NFL.
That's why Buddy & Whaley wanted to have EJ learn the ropes from a vet for a few years but the plan was blown up with Fitz leaving & Kolb's injury.
One thing I take from this is that CJ also mentioned that EJ learned from the Orton experiment...also his work ethic & talent is apparent to lead the team.
-
Gurley would be an option only if he is cleared to play by training camp IMO.
I also like Tevin Coleman if he falls but in my makeshift draft fallout both of these guys are not there at 50. Which is why I have TJ Yeldon as my pick in the 3rd round.
Please don't build a dome! (unless it's like Arizona's

Thank you!
Sometime fans get loss in regards to what this is about...$$$.
IMO, use the Indy Dome as a model (cost effective) and partner it with a larger regional plan to make it attractive to the millions of visitors that past through to go view one of the wonders of the world 10-30 miles north of the city. Think something like, largest shopping mall in the state(tax exempt shopping) coupled w/ the family entertainment & live concerts given in the summer @ Canalside...in the winter those who like the cold stuff (count me out) can go to the events given currently and the other still can have an option, especially during X-Mas time... This would make the area a regional tourism draw and centralize the main shopping & entertainment district for visitors as well as the locals.
