Sammy Watkins' Rib

We threw at least one to Zay.

If they thought that then why did the bench Taylor last week??

James White and Lewis are no slouches. Patriots would rather have them available for the passing game.

Campbell was a very nice free agent addition too. Well run teams can get back to the playoffs without sucking for 5-10 years. But since we are not one of those we should probably try the route that teams like Detroit, LA Rams and Jacksonville have taken. Then again we might just end up being like the Browns and never make the playoffs despite all the sucking.

Surprisingly not as bad as this one which has set team records for how bad they have been on this three game losing streak. Yet again another classic, "can't get any worse than this", situation that does in fact manage to get worse. We as Bills fans know this all too well.

But how many of us have been saying draft a QB in the 5th round? We passed on Mahomes and Watson. Watson looks special. Mahomes looked pretty darn good in pre-season. I think those are the kind of QBs we are craving to draft. First round talented QBs. But I guess since Losman and Manuel were flops we should just never draft QBs early anymore.

All those QBs with the exception of Luck played their first game in a much less pass friendly league then what we have seen since 2010 or so. It's not uncommon at all in today's NFL to see rookie QBs have immediate success.

Rosen will come out for sure. The question is will Darnold come out? We really need him too because both those guys will go 1 and 2. Cleveland has to draft one of them #1 overall. That leaves whoever they don't draft available at #2 hopefully where the 49ers will be picking. I like other QBs in the first like Mayfield and Jackson but we can likely trade up to only 5-10 range to get one of them. There are so many teams this year in need of QB's due to age of their current one or just not having one at all, that I could easily see 5 going in the first 12 picks if Darnold comes out. I've never understood the Bridgewater hype. Very mediocre season before his injury. Somehow the injury inflated his actual value and importance. He came out the same year as Carr but Carr looks like a much better QB to me. Not sure Bridgewater can reach the ceiling that a guy like Carr could. And with our offensive line Bridgewater would get killed. Not real mobile and and he has a really thin build.

Well not obtaining a good QB is guaranteed to fail for us. I mean that's basically a proven Scientific Law now right? 17 consecutive years and counting of data to back it up.

LOL. Pretty sure that is not possible. But whatever.

We can't get over the 5 wins through 7 games hurdle. It's our Kryptonite. 2008, 2011, 2017 Like clock work, this team starts 4-2 and even 5-2 but come Halloween and till December, they get crushed. Then they win a couple of games in December to keep themselves mathematically still in the hunt. If we could eliminate the entire month of November from the football schedule we would actually have a pretty decent football team.

We absolutely don't as of right now. But the Rams were in the exact same boat last year. New coach, new veteran LT, and a couple additional weapons on offense completely changed everything in year two.

OP jinxed Peterman.

Got to somehow convince Darnold to come out. Him and Rosen are definitely the top two. Mayfield has me very intrigued though.

Browns will likely hold the first pick. Are you saying they will draft two QBs in the top five? If the Browns land the first pick and the 49ers land the second or third pick I don't see an issue in trading up.

Yep. If there is one good thing this regime has done it is acquire the pieces to draft that QB in 2018. I thank them for that and now ask them to close the door on their way out.

Not based on the last three games. We stand alone.

Allen scares the heck out of me. But yes, Jackson is no guarantee either. But I agree with your overall point of their being 4 or maybe 5 legit prospects. I think by the time the combine and real evaluations start, we will see that.

We have to make bold moves in the draft. That is exactly what both the Rams and Eagles did in trading up to get Goff and Wentz 1,2. Until we find that franchise QB nothing else will matter. But do we trust McBeane and McDermott to develop the QB prospect? That's a serious question mark at this point and why I would not shy away from the conversation of moving on from this duo before you get in it too deep with them.

This is reason #1 and the only reason we need to fire McDermott at the end of the year. Just ask yourself, with what we have scene from this guy and his staff, do you trust them to evaluate and groom a franchise QB? It is an easy decision once you answer that question honestly. We need to go the route of the Eagles and Rams and higher a youthful offensive mind as our HC. Bring in a veteran DC to run the defense. Rosen Darnold Mayfield Jackson In that order. 49ers are going to have a top three pick and will likely be looking to deal. Even if Darnold goes back to school we have enough ammo to get one of those guys.

The deal for Benjamin actually makes the most sense to me. Just terrible timing for how things unfolded after the move. Think back to the trade deadline. Bills were 5-2 and ROLLING. But the offense still needed an extra boost. We had Clay with an injury and injury history. Zay just slowly starting to come around from a terrible start. Matthews also with an injury he was recovering from. We made the Benjamin move as extra insurance to get us to the playoffs. Unfortunately, but I believe coincidentally the defense and the offense imploded at the exact same time.

It is a safe best that if both players were still on the Bills the numbers that each has with the Rams would be flipped. That is always how it was when they both were healthy and played with us. McVay and Goff are just running a different offense than we have the last few years.So would you be singing the same tune if it were Watkins who had 700 yards and 4TDs with us? Now that's only a pace of like 1120 yards I believe so it's not monster numbers. But it's decent numbers and what he averages with us when he is healthy. You are right though, it does come down to price. Of course we could have always just accepted his 5th year option and have a good receiver at not such an outrageous price for one more year.

I'd like Peterman to earn it before he gets another shot. The guy never looked good in pre-season. Not quite sure why so many here thought he did. I guess just looking average against mostly 3's and 4's by rookie standards now equates to looking good? He looked terrible in his first live action. I doubt he looks good in practice to be honest. But McDerp is blind to it all so he wouldn't know. So yeah, we will likely see him again at some point.

So true. He didn't even look good in preseason either. Not saying he looked bad in pre-season either, but he was just Meh. He didn't light it up like Mahomes.

Like it or not, QB is a sacred position in football. They all have egos. Even the ones that seem grounded. They get special treatment and teams don't play musical chairs with their QBs on a week to week basis. Doing so tells the QBs on your team that they suck. That's fine if your goal is to tank the season. I'm with you, as are most of us, in that it was a good move to make the switch to Peterman to see if there was a spark. But this was assuming Peterman was ready. From what we saw today, Peterman wasn't anywhere close to ready which really contradicts what coach was telling us all week. And the fact that their were two blatantly obvious points in today's game in the second quarter (12:53 Bills first possession after Peterman's 3rd INT and 10:32 Bills first possession after Peterman's 4th INT) where McDermott should have benched Peterman didn't help any. And weren't you the one that said "Not happening" when I suggested a few days before the game that Peterman could be benched in favor of Taylor at the half if he plays poorly?
