If only we had a defensive genius to sort out that side of the ball...
Unfortunately their seasons were wasted when the qb forgot to pass the ball.
Hahahaha. There are times when I think he genuinely looks like he has forgotten he is supposed to throw it.
-
I have never been a Glennon fan... but Glennon, DeShaun Watson and Cardale would be fine with me. Would it make us more likely to win next year? No - but eventually we need to stop just trying to scrape together 10 wins next year and draft and develop a guy we think can be our franchise guy.

Just on the Seahawks / Wilson model.
Seattle when they drafted Wilson had the highest paid OLine in the league that year. This year I think they have the 31st most expensive or something. They had one of the highest paid RBs now they have one of the cheapest. It is the same plan I think the Bills were hoping to follow. While your QB develops you treat him as a complimentary offensive piece (not saying TT has ever been as accurate or as good as RW) you pay a top tier RB and you pay your linemen to keep him clean. As he develops you wean him off that support and put more directly on his plate. The difference between Buffalo and Seattle is the QB has gone backwards not forwards.

No, the point is quantity over quality to a certain extent.
I fundamentally disagree with this. It comes down to talent evaluation.

For people who demand that we draft for need.........please flag this thread for future reference.
Shaq didn't resolve the pass rush issue.
Ragland didn't resolve the problem at MLB.
Injuries aside......this is USUALLY what happens when you draft for need.
You reach over better players on draft day.....feel rushed to start the early picks.....and when they can't get it done they look like busts.
If they hadn't gotten lucky with bargain FREE AGENTS.......like imagine Zach and Lorax playing LB like Bob Blanton played safety........ this would have been a personnel catastrophe on defense this year........a Rob Ryan Saints-esque type defense.
I still maintain that Shaq was no a pick for need. I had him as the best player on the board and I still believe he will be a productive pass rusher for us. If he doesn't work out he doesn't work out - I still think he will - but if he doesn't it will be on the basis of poor talent evaluation not a reach for need in my opinion. I know you disagree Badol and that is fair enough - but I am a little curious as to who you thought the better players at premium positions were that were there and we could have picked?

You guys live in a by gone era. The difference between LT and RT is meaningless in protection and how defenses attack. Defenses attack the weakest part of the line and move their pass rushers around. Mills is a capable run blocker but awful as a pass protector. CK has played well enough this year to consider the move permanent. Just put your best five on the field. So what if the RT is well paid. CK and Miller are on rookie deals and the rest of the line is under contract.
I don't think it is old fashioned if you have a pocket quarterback to want their blindside prioritised. If someone is gonna get beat right off the line I'd rather it be the man the QB can see coming. But as I say, Tyrod isn't a pocket Quarterback, so some of those same considerations don't apply. I would consider it in the offseason if we end up moving on with Tyrod.

I actually think he looks pretty good for his experience level. I agree that he seems a bit fat and slow and inflexible, but I feel like looks are deceiving. He will chase guys down really well/-- faster than what he seems.
He has played with some really good hustle - but that isn't enough for a 1st round pick. I think people are expecting him to be some kind of quick twitch pass rusher and he isn't that, he is a guy who disrupts plays and gets to Quarterbacks by using his hands and getting past people. He has done that pretty well a fair few times... twice yesterday he had opportunities for sacks in the backfield and didn't quite get there. RGIII being mobile had some part of that but also Shaq does look heavier than he did playing at Clemson. I think a full NFL strength and conditioning programme in the offseason coupled with a full integration in the playbook he will start taking better advantage of those chances that he is creating and will be an excellent player for us.
I am not at all worried about him.
-
As I said earlier, this is total bulls hit. Absolutely no basis in fact. In addition to their regional scouts, Whaley personally attended several of Watkins' games his junior year at Clemson. That's just one of several examples. Hell, they were at Shaq Lawson games last year for crissakes.
And there is an interview with Whaley from January 2014 where he talked about reducing the scouting areas to allow area scouts to dedicate more time to looking at underclassmen.

The Bills will win next week.
-
He has been up and down so far. I loved the pick still have great faith in him. He has terrific hands and I think his use of his hands will get him sack numbers. I agree he has been caught a few times on over pursuit inside but I tend to put that down more to missing camp time and just general confusion in the scheme. He is more of a DE body type at the moment and that is where I would ultimately like to see him used.
-
How do we get in? I have Miami beating us in Common games even if they lose the next 2.
If we won the last 2 and they lost to New England we would be level in common games because in uncommon games we are both 1-1.
I don't know how strength of victory would then stack up after that but it is largely irrelevant - we are not getting in. We needed one of Oakland and Pittsburgh - if we had won one of those we would be in a nice position now.... or even if we had beaten the Jets earlier in the year for example.... but as it is we will not make it even winning out.
-
Damn. We should have kep Randell Johnson and Tony Steward rather than sign Lorax and Zach. I knew it!
And the scheme changing and flip flopping on the defensive side has had a significant impact on this. If Schwartz had stayed I am pretty sure he lobbies to keep Bradham and we probably also keep Ross Cockrell who Rex did not think was a scheme fit.
-
Fish don't need Trannyhill to beat us.... Moore is quite adequate.. Not sayin'g we'll lose but they're on a tear.
Moore gives them a better chance. We own Tannehill in Buffalo he has been horrific here every year.
-
2013-2016: 30-32 (.484) - if we finish 9-7, it'll be .500
2009-2012: 22-42 (.344)
While we aren't as good as we want to be, we're definitely better than we were previous to him becoming GM. If you have a guaranteed better option, I'm all for it, but I'm not convinced Whaley is the problem with this team.
We had a good defense with much the same personnel, and then changed scheme and it fell apart. We had a ****ty offense, picked up a few key players, and changed scheme, and move the ball better now.
We need a better defensive scheme, and things will be largely ok. Or we can somehow get a HoF QB, to make up for the weak defense.
This.

I love how the Dolphins have cracked the code and reached the promised land and we need to blow it up. You see that team out there we beat today? It took a comeback, a missed field goal and an overtime for the Dolphins to beat that team at home this season. The Bills have also scored more points and given up less than the Dolphins on the season. They're in the same ballpark, few breaks here and there, that's it.
Agree with this.
-
CK is fine at LT. Maybe the knee injury and inability to play on the right side is real. Regardless he has played well enough for me to move Glenn to RT and leave CK at LT. Mills would be perfectly fine coming back as a swing tackle but he may want starting RT money. I find it unlikely but teams overpay all the time. Glenn is already paid so he should not care which position he is playing.
My view is your best OT plays LT but that is to protect the blindside of the QB in the pocket..... if you are sticking with TT who doesn't really play from the pocket it might be worth considering.
-
Like I said we don't know if he is playing well today or just looking good b.c everyone looks good against the Browns.
Wrong. We do know he is playing well even though we know the opposition is poor.
-
He is playing the Browns.
True. But after a good start to the season he has had a couple of dodgy weeks. Good to see him back to his best.
-
Not impressed. He needs some work.
Me neither.
-
He has had a pretty good Soph season
Yep. Some so-so games in pass pro (mixrd in with some good ones) but a really good year in the run game.
-
John Miller has had a really good game today.
-
Yea it does that when your rolling in the ground game
Yep.
-
This game has gone so fast.
-
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I would be OK with resigning Goodwin for a cheap contract.
I'd prefer Hunter.
Watch, Elway will find a QB

So do I and I am not as high on Tyrod as WEO.
