yes yes and yes....i mean no!!!!!!
its just that i spent 2 years seeing this and no one else ever seemed to notice....but you make millions and you cant jump and catch a ball? sammy could have gave the rams a chance, the point being is to let everyone here know what a great choice it was to trade him for essentially 3 high round players ...gaines benjamin and a second.
-
short and sweet, Romo, (who i said was great after week 2 and now all finally seem to agree with,) said, along w Nance, that theyd both have like to have seen softy sammy go back and jump up for the ball on a long pass late in the game. Romo especially kept talking about how sammy didnt really try.
Regardless the ball went right through his hands w the playoffs on the line. Later in the endzone he also couldnt come up w the 4rth down pass right in his hands, because there was a tiny bit of contact.
So glad that soft excuse for an elite wr is gone. so glad we netted a second, EJ gaines and basically benjamin for him.
Even a real QB cant get the ball to softy sammy twatkins.

Big part of an offense that is on its way to the playoffs while you geniuses continue to tell us he sucks.
I'm glad we have guys like Kelvin and Matthews though. Hopefully their knees hold up.
just saw this, because 13 is soooo much more than 3 in the playoffs, a game where sammy sucked again. and lost the game.

I wanted to take a moment to stop, reflect, and collect associated thoughts as the season is over. I had a crazy fall, spending most of it commuting back to Buffalo on weekdays and spending what time I could with my fiance in Philly, getting married, and starting a new job. So I haven’t posted as much as usual this year. But now that I can reflect, I guess here’s a lot of what I’ve been mulling on as we close out and look ahead to the rest of 2018:
-
Ever since I signed up on the board here, the most exciting times we’ve had in a year has been the offseason. I really doubt that’s the case in 2018. I was floating on air to start 2018 as New Years hit. As a buddy of mine put it “I didn’t know how much making the playoffs and breaking the streak mattered to me until it happened”. I know what he means. It was as if a weight had been taken off my chest, and I could breathe during the playoff game, as heartbreaking as that was to watch.
-
When Darby and Sammy were traded, I honestly thought we were tanking. I said so at the time, fairly definitively. I was wrong. Looking now, maybe they might have made a difference against the Jags, especially if Sammy is the one on that goalline pass attempt (more on that later), but looking at what they did elsewhere and what we got, I can’t say that we were on the wrong end. Of note is that we managed to get Benjamin, who is a very nice piece, for a third and still have one in reserve.
-
I know the tide is agaisnt paying running backs hitting the wrong side of 30, but Shady currently is worth every dollar we’ve paid him. The man was a huge part of our offense in an offense that didn’t have much else going, and he took plenty of shots across the middle as a result. Numbers wise, it’s going to look like he had a down year, but he looks as elusive as ever. I blame...let’s call them “other factors”. Again, I will get to them soon.
-
I was annoyed at Darby leaving, but I’m going to say: the secondary looks pretty solid. Safeties always seem to get passed over in the discussion of big money contracts. I remember the talk about how Byrd wasn’t worth the money he was asking (he wasn’t), but it always struck me that safeties get the short end compared to the “lock down corner”. Hyde and Poyer were absolute steals in free agency. I expected Hyde to be good, but not that good. I honestly didn’t expect much out of Poyer, and he absolutely defied expectations. Gaines was solid (when not injured) and I think it is a disgrace that White is not part of the DROY discussion. If we can get Gaines on a reasonable deal, I think our secondary is locked in for the next few years.
-
If there’s one huge knock I have on McDermott as a defensive coach, it’s how the Darues situation worked out. I get that the man was dragging. I get that the contract was part of the old regime. But we slammed Rex for not motivating Mario, and I am going to hit McD with the same stick here. Maybe there was nothing that could be done, but that was a whole lot of dead money and a pathetic return value for a player who can be very good when he wants to be, and it took a while for us to get the run defense back on track.
-
Now, for the part that will get me death threats: Tyrod. I have been a Tyrod defender. I think that a great deal of criticism has been unjust. But this year made it clear to me: as we go forward, and look to be a perennial contender, he is just Not. Good. Enough. He had plenty of things working against him: a new system, his most familiar receivers leaving, an OC that didn’t make the best of his strengths but at the end of the day, we have seen what he is. It isn’t going to get better than his first year. The Bills *need* to have a plan going to upgrade from him this offseason. That said, I can see him starting week 1. Trubinsky and Watson weren’t ready week 1. Mahomes rode the pine all year. Let’s not repeat the mistakes of the past and have another EJ situation. But we need something: throw a stupid number of picks at the Colts for Luck, or take a shot in the 1st round on a guy, but we need something that isn’t Peterman.
-
Peterman: I do not understand the love for this guy. If my choices are Billy Jo Hobart, or this guy, I am seriously considering Hobart. Hobart had fewer interceptions while not giving a damn. Maybe magic happens, or he rebounds, but I will not watch next year if he is our starter.
-
Dennison: He is not a great OC. That is not to say that there weren’t periods when he could string together nice drives. He can. My knock is that he simply does not make the best of the players and talent he has. The O-line blocking regressed. He had a QB who was at his best as a “roll out in the pocket” and “home run hitter”. Dennison focused on a WCO better suited for a traditional drop back passer. Yards, YPC, Touchdowns, TD:Int ratio and rushing yards all dropped. The 10th scoring offense went to 22nd. Maybe if you get him a shiny unicorn of a perfect QB he looks good, but right now, he stinks.
Shopping list for 2018
-
QB. We need another option. He doesn’t have to start right away, but we absolutely need to get one going.
-
WR. Benjamin is ok, and perhaps with some seasoning Zay cures the dropsies, but the position desperately needs an upgrade
-
DT. Probably 2 DTs if Kyle is leaving as expected. The D-line as a whole dropped off this year, but Hughes and Lawson are not the problem at the moment. We have to fix the center first.
-
LB. We made do, but we could really use an upgrade here if we want to be a defense first team.
Ok, roast away.
nice post, agree.

He's a class guy for sure and I wish him the best..but his time here is over.
classiest moron ever to qb for the bills, too dumb to know he cant just keep throwing 2 yarders and play little ball all game long in an easily winnable game. not a total turd like edwards was but a turd nonetheless. goodbye tightwad, hope I never have to watch you ruin another bills game again.

Take your shot to move up and grab your QB. This is the first time in years we've had the ammo to pull something off and get a QB who can lead us for a decade or more. I love this team and TT is incredible how he handled a difficult situation, but this isn't sustainable in the long-term without a QB.
lol, what isnt? barely making the playoffs once in 18 years as a sixth seed after 4 tie breakers with the other would be sixth seed???
good, i hope we dont keep sustaining that!
point is we need a qb but i say let one slide or trade the farm next year, we can rebuild our lines and get a LB this year, but our picks will all be late 20's since we got them from the rams cheifs and phili. so we wont be getting much for them in a trade up but tons of value in sliding players at the end of round 1 and 2.
next year we should be a better team and go 10-6 and at that point we can trade 2 firsts or whatever to get whoevers hot in 2019 if need be.

i loved gaines since he got here, my favorite player, seeing as that he came with a second rounder attached to him too.

TT #5 is awful.
good post, glad you wrote #5, that was really helpful, i thought you meant thurman thomas, whos #34 just in case you are an idiot.

Each time I seem to think he's starting to understand that good things seem to happen when you throw to KB, he comes back the next series and seemingly forgets everything learned in the previous series. It's maddening!!!! At the very least, NP seems to fully understand the security blanket/big play potential and possabilities tossing it up to KB brings to the table.
it goes back to a fact that will never change, that tyrod is about as smart as my middle nut.

Such a silly take
yes because teams never "get up" or have "let downs" based on previous wins or losses...or rest starters.....So silly indeed.
I guess they dont need handicappers in Vegas anymore who make millions calculating things like this into spreads.

Beside kicking our azzes again in game 1 this year, him being out due to the late hit caused a loss for them in Miami, had they won there, they may have been in dial it back/rest some starters mode this week.
I was actually glad they beat Pittsburg, had they lost they would have been at home with an ax to grind after a 2 game losing streak. Now we will see how hard they play when the seeding still is not set, we only beat them twice at home in the last 15 or so years, when they rested their starters.
-
Benjamin, for that one ball he caught once. Thats not enough to get him in?
-
romo is awesome as an analyst, says exactly what a qb should do, what the wr should have done etc. basically points out how stupid many of these players really are when theyve played there whole lives and still dont know the game situation or how to control themselves after a play etc. Its nice to hear a non idiot talk on tv for once rather than a smooth voiced ex-player. The opposite of this is the shrill voiced female who would be better suited as a drill seargant or something of that nature, she wont shut up in-game, which makes it that much worse.

the female announcer was so irritating, and she didnt know anymore than the current stats, she said Zay was tt's go to receiver for example. screw equal rights, get someone who doesnt sound like a 14 yo man boy.

total joke how we go into a shell whenever we go up by a couple scores. does every game have to be a nail biter because we cant get a first down when were already winning? ridiculous. F his Jauron like style.

Poor rookie QB we ever draft here in Buffalo is doomed with impatience or lack of understanding that they need to develop a year or 2.
really losman and turdwards both got a year and a half, so they were actually good and we just pulled the plug too soon? where didthey flourish afterwards?

Just now, Boyst62 said:
I love how he had Olympic speed and was a !@#$ing long jumper. Dude wasn't even the fastest guy on the team. Graham was much faster which I find funny.
how much fater, goodwin had the faster 40 at soemthing like 4.2 and WAS an olympian, graham ran a 4.4 and I still dont get how that was so special.

ue with him. I'm not even going to get in to the rest of it, crossing routes and what not. Goodwin was not featured over the middle a lot.
goodwin was injured two separate years on short throws, 1 the first catch of the year on a crossing route. maybe thats why he wasnt featured....period. maybe learn your topic better, goodwin was great, just misused, as proven now by his production on a yet crappy team like SF, and watkins is a little P, as evidenced by his several drops which didnt count as drops because of the db in the area. but a real talent would have easily came up with half of those balls, or more, not P watkins though.

As much as I hate Brady I can't help but thinking everytime I hear him interviewed that he'd be a cool dude to hang out with and grab a beer
wow guess youd like to hang out alot in gay bars then. looks like a spoiled brat on the sideline, has a fake wife and comes off a little bit like women to me when he talks.

Good guy for sure but I hated him as a WR on this team. Dropped balls and injuries were just too much to deal with.
Jesus, had to comment- first, guy barely dropped a ball here, period. he was injured due to miss-use, 3 yard crossing routes instead of deep balls( which he caught w ease when actually given a chance.) Filled in many times for the real glass wr's here, mainly twatkins. His production in SF proves he was always good, just not utilized properly.
Maybe your thinking of Tj graham or SJ who dropped almost as many as twatkins? or your blind?
