Perhaps, but do you agree that this change has 10X the effect of changing out 1 player?
Consider: The year before Dennison we were the premier power blocking run team in the NFL, and probably of the last 10 years. If you can do power, you can own people. We did. We were the #1 rushing team in the league by design, not by default. Then, Dennison comes in last year and changes the entire run concept, for ALL of our run plays(the first 4 games), to zone blocking...because "system".
When Dennison realized his idiocy was gonna cost him his job? Presto, we start running more power plays(last 6 games).
The players we had, both individually and as a group, were not the best fit for zone. Zone is about getting to a spot first, then using that spot + body position to create holes, thus it emphasizes quickness and flexibility(like wrestling). Power is about being assigned a target, or two, lining up on them, and then: destroy, which emphasizes size and strength(like heavyweight boxing). ALL O lineman need minimums in all 4 characteristics I mentioned to make an NFL squad. It's the emphasis the scheme places on each characteristic, that makes one guy "better" than the next. Thus, a bunch of guys who are above average in all 4, but, are really big and strong(like we had 2 years ago), means you do power: every play you seek and destroy. "Coaching" that ignores their strengths and focuses on what they are only average at, for the sake of a scheme? Folly.Which kind of run concept do the Bills favor today, right now? No one has any idea. Therefore, we can't know if our players today are a better fit than the players last year. The only thing we do know: Dennison is gone and so are his silly notions about forcing players into his system, rather than forcing his system to fit the players(or making a new system entirely).
For all we know, the players we have today, right now, fit a zone scheme better than power. See the problem?
OC Buffalo (is this you? Mr. Dabol?? I am amazed realizing that ~ 24 hours after first posted, your take hasn't had more positive reactions... man! you´ve nailed it!

More hyped and picked earlier than Allen include: Mitch Trubisky, Jameis Winston, Eric Fisher, Robert Griffin, JaMarcus Russell, Ronnie Brown, Charles Rogers, Courtney Brown, Tim Couch, Ryan Leaf, Jake Long, Jason Smith. That's just in the last 20 years. Allen isn't being "hyped" at all. Most don't even believe he'll be ready right out of the gates. Not sure what delusion you're living in.
I can find some non-QBs in your list, so I will go and add a couple more RBs: Cedric Benson and Ricky himself,

If that net would have jumped to catch that ball, I think we’d have our WR #3. Not a lot of YAC, but maybe move the chains.

Minicamp is over. The players are leaving the area tomorrow to be with family, train on their own or with their own training gurus. With a few exceptions, most of the contracts that need to be signed have been signed. We have entered the slowest time of the year for NFL fans. What are you doing to get your football fix?
Watching FIFA World Cup and a few baseball games involving the Houston Astros who are getting red hot again! ...

I first want to say that Josh Allen is a nice PROSPECT, but he's not ready to play in the NFL despite wowing people with the Jamarcus Russell arm. He'll no doubt show well during preseason against 3rd stringers but we shouldn't be thinking about him as a potential starter for the Bills until 2020 at the earliest.
Nathan Peterman however is THE TRUTH: exact, no fault, no fake, thrust worthy, clear, absolute etc. Easy to understand how some could write him off after a disastrous debut in LA last year but there is still a distinct reason why Tyrod Taylor was benched for him and is no longer on this team. Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott knew the moxy and grit were there all along despite Peterman free falling from as high as a 1st round pick and dropping into the Bills laps in the 5th round.
I have followed Nathan Peterman's career from his days as a four star recruit out of Bartram HS in Florida. At the time many felt he was the next elite NFL prospect and things did not obviously pan out of him at Tenn mostly due to very high expectations and being compared to the next Peyton Manning (yes that' how good he is/was). Obviously things took off for him after transferring to PITT including a legendary performance against eventual national champion Clemson (their only loss that season).
At the end of the day Nathan Peterman is turning heads in his 2nd NFL offseason and there is a lot of a chatter already that the Bills may have made a mistake with their draft capital on Allen this yea after seeing him drop some straight up dimes in these practices this week. I look forward to watching Nathan dominate this year as the Bills starter and best case scenario for the Bills is they end up having two elite NFL starting QB's but if Allen doesn't pan out they can likely trade him for something worthwhile in return.
Just remember where you were in 5 years, the juices flowing, the unveiling of a premier NFL player that may become the next Tom Brady or better.
Hey Franchise...don´t get me wrong my friend, I have a few posts in my count as well, however I find a little bit odd, when ¨new posters¨ start with polemic topics, like this one I interpret (excuse me if I am wrong) as a polemic where not only you predict NP success purely in ¨end of the day¨perception and a little bit of an extrapolation of his success while in NCAA, but on top of that you pick on OneDrive guys making ´a mistake´in gettin Allen to high in the draft. I think you´re really disguised in a new poster ID, and you're one of the old NP apologists or one of the guys that threw chairs in that video at a small gym the moment they picked Josh in April. We coincide tough that it won´t hurt if in a couple of years we end up having a scenario ala Brees & Rivers, in our QB ranks. Thanks anyway!

So i was just watching a show called Top 10 that I recorded on my DVR recently(apparently the show originally aired back in 2013 though for what its worth) and the topic was Most Fun Teams of All Time. The criteria they used was interesting to me since they said it couldn't be a team that actually won a Super Bowl(is there any team out there that was more fun than the 85 Bears!?) But here i am thinking well than one of the Buffalo Bills teams of the 90's will be on here for sure and they even teased a commercial break with Christie kicking the game winning field goal in the Comeback game at one point. But the whole list goes on and not only was there no mention of the Bills teams back then, they didn't even get put in the best of the rest category aka honorable mentions. They had the 91 Atlanta Falcons with Jerry Glanville as their number 1 pick. I can see that team being in the top 10 but not number 1. The 90's Bills teams were absolutely one of the most fun runs you will ever see in professional sports history regardless of them not winning a title.
Anyway who do you guys have as your most fun teams of all time?
top 10 lists are typically picked so randomly that they are worthless, I will rad this thread, because I expect the list generated here to be more valuable!

These 2 win predictions and worst in league are going to look pretty dumb at the end of the year I figure. Too bad there is no accountability in the media.
This defense will be much better than any of the media gives it credit for...fringe top 10 in a lot of categories and McDermott and the staff will have them ready to play just like last year.
On offense I think having a real OC and a QB that's not afraid to make mistakes will help open things up for shady. Everyone assumes the defense will key in to stop the run, which worked when Taylor was QB but AJ or Josh will actually throw the ball over the top if they stack the box. Yes our weapons are questionable at WR...but clay and oleary are quality pass catchers...cadet and shady are very good out of backfield, Kerley, Jones and Benjamin are not terrible especially in a Daboll offense.
We won't light world on fire but 8 wins is doable.
Yes there is accountability for the media, they take bread to their table only because we read (digital and on paper) them, so stop reading them and they will (somehow) notice ...

This article could very well have described the Jets' boneheaded non-move of staying at #6, watching someone else pay the price to get up to #3 and/or #4 and/or #5, thus preventing the Jets from getting their guy. Yeah, the price was steep, but no one will care if Darnold lights up the league.
I kind of disagree in assuming that staying at 6 would´ve been a bonehead move, since there is NO WAY the Jests would guess how the QBs taken will unfold until that very same day, ITOH, our team stayed put and traded until they knew how things were unfolding regarding QBs, thus why we are not in the sh1t list (quoting PTR) this time for a change!

Me too...just to think that each of those ¨little ¨factors summed to cost us the best game they out in the 4 trips to Sb, regardless of the aforementioned mistakes we made, which is part of the game, I.E. you can ask TB about how much his ¨drop¨ cost him in SB LII...

The AFC was weak enough this past season that a season record that they have had before, which was not close to making the playoffs those times, qualified them for a wildcard this time. It was not a better season record than they have had before, but as luck would have it, it allowed them to end the drought this particular time. They did seem to get more calls going their way this past season than in previous years, but that's not the luck I was referring to.
Thank you!
2 hours ago, Stank_Nasty said:that tampa bay game had the feel of sooooo many freaking similar meltdown games over the last 17 years.... and then it wasn't. that one is a perfect example of what you are talking about. any other season that one spirals out of control.
uh, define "not close".... they were within a game each other time. lets not be excessive here. PLENTY of 9-7 squads have made the playoffs over the years. its not some sort of anomaly. the bills did what they needed to do in week 17 and over the course of ALL 16 games and the rest didn't..... namely the ravens.
9-7 will get you in in more of the half of times...¨anomaly¨ would be getting in with 7-9 as Carolina did a few years ago, because their division stunk up the joint...

I'm not saying he's Peyton Manning. But our other options are Nathan "Pick Six" Peterman. A Rookie. Or unproven AJ McCarron. With Cutler, we at least know what we're getting.
dude...you realize it has been a long offseason, when people thinks Jay C is better than any QB in our roster, or if you didn't try to generalize and think is a good QB3, then it is even worst if you think our potential QB1/QB2 (AJMc / JA, in my humble opinion) can do so bad that BUF would need to go to JC!! ?

Coaching.
It's obvious.
The roster was WORSE than it was under Rex Ryan. Considerably so, in some areas. But they still won 9 games and made the playoffs. Why? Coaching. McDermott had his men prepared, scheme sound, and fundamentally sound. They gave up a lot of yardage, but they did not (with the exception of the mid-season losing streak) give up a lot of points. And oh, about that losing streak. How many times have we seen past Bills teams start out hot, enter a losing streak like that mid season, and completely go off the rails? Not this team. They were resilient, mentally tough, and won the games they needed to win to put themselves in position for the Andy Dalton miracle. The bounceback started in ARROWHEAD, of all places, against a Chiefs team that made the playoffs. Again, how many must-win November games have we lost to the Chiefs in the past decade? Not this Bills team.
I never, ever accept "bad refereeing" or injuries as excuses. Both happen all over the NFL, every single year. The Bills made it because they understood their schemes, executed them well enough to win 9 games, and earned it....and because Andy Dalton had a horseshoe in his ass.
Coaching.Sir... only a fist full of posters deserve their nickname as much as you do, I will follow your ´logic´ more closely from now on!!

I am annoyed with the all Kool-Aid drinkers who feel the Bills FO never fails, even though they had a 17 year playoff drought... The Bills FO has failed at the draft a hell of a lot more than they have been successful the last 20+ years. Trading up for Zay Jones the latest failure, and odds are this trade up for Allen will be a failure as well.
The ¨Bills FO¨ for those 17 years is in reality many FOs (2 Owners, 4+ GMs, 10+ coaches..14+ QBs..etc) all linked in a string of failures and false hopes, so adding it up to 17 is just a very simplistic way to look at it, IMHO.... GO OUT AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH!

Fair enough.
Without a doubt, the best part was the fine throws.
With no blitzes I discount the Senior Bowl to an advanced scrimmage. But he showed some fine touch in that game - I don't think I saw a ball misplaced, even a little bit.I agree, blitzes or not the guy showed he can step up when motivated (in the Sr. Bowl, incentive is showcasing yourself for NFL scouts), whereas some other guys teart it as another game or even with less motivation, because i.e. they don't want to get hurt, or something. btw At the end of the game, during his interview, I remember the guy mentioned he wasn't afraid to get hurt, since getting hurt can happen any day in a car crush, or so...I like ihes pose a lot!
