I know Cousins was a long shot for Buffalo. But I kind of expected a visit.

In Organization Behavior, there is a model called "Success to the Successful" That is Beane. He's been successful all off season. Each of his moves benefited from the quan of his prior successful move. Nice to be off the "losses to the losers" model.

How Beane dresses for work.

Lolz... go away The league year hasn't even opened yet.

It did work out for him here. He was a perennial backup in Baltimore. In Buffalo, he proved to be starter material. ..just not our future starter material..

The correlation is sky high. Highly successful entertainers with stage fright (a form of anxiety) comes to mind. Also, another poster suggested KW suffered from bipolar disorder. I could see that. Makes me wonder... do the Bills have a team Psychologist? If not, they should. Many millennial pro athletes could use some life coaching.

When you see the countless posts looking to sell the estate to trade up and draft that magical "franchise" QB, -- it makes you wonder: maybe deliberate tanking would have been a wise approach to the 2017 season. (given the Watkins and Darby trades, one can argue the tank was on) If the Bills tanked: we wouldn't be talking about trading multiple first rounders plus other picks/players for a shot at Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield et al. We'd be talking about which to choose with our naturally given draft choice. What happened: the Bills played balls to the wall. I believe they exceeded their potential and got lucky. They made the playoffs and earned a less than mid-first round draft pick. Would you have rather tanked (and pick a franchise QB without selling the farm), or made the playoffs? Me? I'm glad the Bills went all-in and made the playoffs, that goes so far in building a winning culture for the future. Also I look at the Sabres suckitude and can't help but feel once you tank, it's hard to wash the stench of losing out of the locker room.

If they pickup a QB in free agency (not an impossibility) I could easily see them trading down with 21, then making a selection with 22. Having said that, I hope they trade up for Darnold/Rosen/Mayfield.

All these big athletes, they write off everything. Reminds me of a Seinfeld: Kramer: "It's a write-off for them." Jerry: "How is it a write-off?" Kramer: "They just write it off." Jerry: "Write it off what?" Kramer: "Jerry, all these big companies, they write off everything." Jerry: "You don't even know what a write-off is." "Do you?" Kramer: "No, I don't." "But they do. And they're the ones writing it off."

Gronk does not fit the process. He's a me me type of player. He's not a McBean style team player.

Congrats to her. What a cute girl... too young for me. I wonder if her mother is hot and single.

Let's look at Russ Brandon... because as they say in the Army: There's no horse dead enough that it can't be kicked some more.

I think McBeane et al. will be calm. If draft things don't roll right, the fall back plan will be another year of Tyrod, which while not great, it's not a GM career killer.

I just read another op-ed (Bills road map to trading up) that said the top 4 picks are good enough. I'd be OK if the Bills traded into the top four for Mayfield/Rosen/Darnold. Agree with the tone of your post: don't freak out if the football people do their thing, and that thing may not be a QB.

Smokescreen. Moving from the cesspool (from a family point of view) of New England, to the land of milk & honey is a no brainer. McD is postured to be the next HC of the patsies.

Buffalo is an NFL town. To wit: the #1 TV ratings for the Super Bowl---and the better regular season attendance (those who actually go to the game) than many teams in wake of kneeling-gate. Yet again at the Spring meetings, the league will say that Buffalo needs a new stadium to pull their weight as a partner. I hope Pegs tells them to pack sand: Buffalo does more than it's share pulling in viewers and putting butts in seats, with ticketing and licensing revenue probably exceeding at least 4 other teams.

I don't think "drafting around" someone who later turns out to be stellar is a gaffe of infamy. It's just a garden variety oops. Despite pundits that make it seem like you can evaluate players to the tenth of a degree--the draft is pretty much a crapshoot. Also, I don't think the future success of a traded player is gaffe of infamy. Who cares? They're gone. What is important is the production you got on your end of the trade. Bills most frequent gaffes of infamy, IMO, come in awarding star money contracts to players who turn out to be mediocre at best. That's a gaffe of infamy because the player had a track record and the future is somewhat predictable--you should have known better---and you louse up future year salary caps.

"The house that Waufle Built" .. no one ever said. Now, Waffle House... that's another subject.

This dude is a textbook exhibit of 24 being the new 18. (Adolescence these days starts at age 10 and continues to 24, scientists say)

Also remember, this forecast was Vegas oriented. Bookies make a line that tries to get equal numbers of people betting each side. Bookies then make money on the transaction cost. In different words: Vegas odds are what the bookies think the betting pool will think. In the end, Vegas odds are usually close to the truth, but sometimes they can be skewed by popular and unpopular teams. I hope I made sense there.

Edelman .. small spaces .. I couldn't stop this reply https://deadspin.com/tinder-girls-icebreaker-just-!@#$ed-edelman-no-lie-1683702726

Improve..? The coaching adjustments between the first and second half.

31 teams end the season on a bitter loss.. it's highly probable the Bills will be one of the 31 for a while.

Yes.. as OP suggests, we need the career game from TT. But bbt81 ... you point out hot headed DB's, then propose to counter them with a hot headed passing plan. Sun Tzu would not approve. Nor Russ Brandon lol lol

538 also predicted HRC for President.
