That they got from Houston in the first place. So are Miami and Houston just swapping back and forth?

Olive is really an enigma. He's crazy athletic for a man his size, but he's still a bit undersized for the DT position. Started off slow his rookie season, but came on strong towards the end. Looked like he'd take a step forward this season... then Star opts out and Oliver is forced to play out of position a lot of times, and without much help on the line. Is he good? Yeah. Is he the game changer that you'd want from the 8th pick? Not right now. It's been 2 seasons, and we don't really have an answer on Oliver. Like you said, that's frustrating.

I hear you there. I'm just not sure how so many can be so positive that Culley is going to fail. Though, losing Watson won't help his cause.

I'm hoping he trades down. I'd rather have 3 2nd round picks than a 30th and 60th. We have holes to fill <insert ubiquitous Michael Scott joke here>. I'd like to see CB, OL, and athletic front 7.

How many successful coordinators go on to fail as head coaches? A lot. This is because being a successful head coach is about more than coordinating one phase of the game. The head coach has to be a football smart CEO type, with strong leadership skills. I know next to nothing about Culley. So I don't know if he's a good coaching candidate. But hell, didn't Andy Reid go from QB coach straight to head coach?

What a simple, yet effective way of putting this into perspective.

I'd prefer we go o-line before RB. Better run blocking will help any running back. My preference in this draft would be to trade down. 3 2nd round picks sounds better to me than pick 30 and pick 60. Then take CB2, OL (guard or tackle depending on how we handle free agency), and athletic front 7 (DE or LB, again depending on what we do in free agency). Running back in the 3rd.

I like Dane. There's a spot for him on the team. But I don't think he has the athleticism to be a full time CB2. That's the same limitation that Levi has. Good football players between the ears. That's important, but I can't see them as starters at CB2. I'd love to be wrong.

I think the raiders did something similar to this when they beat them this season.

I want Beane running this team. But I did not like our draft. I was really low on Epenesa, lukewarm on Moss. Davis and Bass were really nice mid/late round picks, though.

I don't know, man. The 4 seasons gets me pumped!

Couldn't agree more. The Bills offense from weeks 14 - 17 is not the offense we saw in the playoffs. Also, I love Josh, but I think he needs to work on staying calm and playing within himself. He seems to get too hyped in big games. Hopefully he got this out of his system, and next time he can play like he's been there before. I believe in him.

I agree that we need a better pass rush and running game. But I feel more like the way to get there is a true CB2 (coverage leads to sacks), and better o-line play. I'd like to see us draft CB2, OL, DL. then a speedy RB.

The trend towards the young up- and-comer continues. Interesting nfl pattern. It'll be interesting to see how this goes.

We also require 3 references...and at least 1 letter of recommendation.

I know the Bills played to really good defenses in the last two playoff games. But the offense looked a bit out of sync. The WRs are pretty banged up so maybe that's it. But I do wonder if Daboll was a little distracted by the head coaching stuff. Interviews take a lot of preparation. Researching then reaching out to potential assistants takes a lot of time.

Nationwide could be cool. They had some pretty funny commercials with Peyton Manning.

The Bills D has shown this season that they can take away half of the offense. The Ravens only had half an offense to begin with.

Thank you! That 4th and 1 killed me. He tries to take down an RB on fire with a shoulder hit...behind the line of scrimmage...on 4th and 1...on a play that would have ended the game.

The Colts came out hungry and played with a lot of intensity. They have a great o-line, and a really good front 7 on D. This was always going to be a tough game. The AFC playoffs are pretty stacked with talented teams. Still, I feel like Daboll made a lot questionable calls. I'd like to see more camera angles to see if the Colts were doing something to stop our passing attack. But the designed runs with Josh Allen running parallel to the LOS just didn't make sense. This is a passing team, but we had a 3 and out early where we ran the ball on all 3 downs. Our running game has been questionable all season. And the Colts have a dominating front 7. Did Daboll screw up the game plan this week, or did the Colts take it away?

I think Diggs and Beasley are both gutting it out on the field. They're playing hurt. That's why the roster moves with Duke, and Stills. And this might be why Josh was running so much out there. Not saying I agree. I was just as pissed off as the rest of you.

I don't think Dirk Diggler would approve of this.

The longer we last in the playoffs, the more likely he stays. Teams don't like waiting to hire new head coaches.

Absolutely! We really can see him improving week to week. As much as I'm blown away by his arm, it's his ability to adjust and be coached that impresses me the most.

Define meaningless game. I want the Bills to have the #2 seed. The Steelers may lose 2 more games.
