Look at the donors who opened up their checkbooks

The best part of this is the high profile donors thus far who have really opened up their checkbooks

Unfortunately this looks to be a bad year to finish with a top 5 pick. Looking at mock drafts the top talent is mostly on the defensive side and there are only 1 or 2 Quarterbacks likely to go in the top 10 (though his could change of course) limiting our potential haul for trading down. It's only November though, so who knows how it'll play out.
I think this will change with the QB hungry teams driving up the QB's like what happens every year come draft time.
Giants, Miami, maybe Dallas (after last night), Jags, Oakland (Carr seems out of favor), Tampa Bay .. all should be in the QB race ... and many will move up to grab one.

Umm the big player for the Bears is Mack, that man is a difference maker on the D side of the ball. I find Trubesky (?) as an average QB. The Rams look amazing but that is all Gurley. You stop Gurley you have a good chance beat them (see Saints) they have a small window 2-3 years before it implodes as they will have to pay Goff.
I want my team be built like the Steelers, built for always being in contention and very rare have a bad season. (In their case it is consistency and staying with coaches. I think they have had like 5 or 6 coaches total??)
I hear you .. but the Steelers are more Big Ben than coaching and RB talent and WR talent acquired via the draft that is miles beyond what we've been able to draft in same timeframe.
Recent Example ... 2017 Draft - Ju Ju Smith Schuster - 2nd Round / James Connor 3rd Round

See the blueprints for both the Chicago Bears and LA Rams ... both had 1st year QB's that were not very good ... (granted higher pick/college pedigree than Allen) ... but they backed the truck up and retooled both offenses .. now the difference is they have very aggressive offensive minded HC's ... but they changed both organizations in one year's time from an offensive personnel perspective.

I would try like hell to convince Justin Herbert to come out and do what it takes to get him.
He and Allen can battle it out and may the better man win.
After seeing Will Grier's game yesterday at Texas .. I might lean that way.

He threw three INT. Two were unlucky bounces. But let's not call them good passes. The first one was arguable. Pryor maybe should have caught it. But it wasn't a good throw. The second one was a bad bounce, too, but it was a lousy throw. The DB got to it easier than the WR, then it bounced up, then it was intercepted.
Yea at this stage .. I think he's got bad carma .. but at least he's got God on his side to help him with his next career.

I don't like trading down. Browns and maybe us in a little made mistakes. If it is defense player impact i'd take him. Always take best player
Typically I would agree .. but what we have on the field not typical .. in fact approaching historically bad from an offense perspective .. so with a defensive heavy draft or as we get closer to the draft a QB hungry team (circa Bills 2018) .. take the picks and trade down ... I didn't expect a good record this year .. but I didn't expect this offensive debacle.
-
I actually had to turn to a different game ... feel sorry for those in attendance .. I had to see what real offense looked like for a few minutes today. I actually high fived my son when it was zero - zero after the 1st quarter ... how sad.
There are way too many holes ... we need more draft picks ... only sign Offensive Tackles/Guards with FA money (as they will come more easily than other skill positions) .. use the entire draft on offense. And anyone on offense that is a pending FA ... get all the compensatory picks possible .. to quote the movie Frozen with a slight change .. Let them Go!!

It's crazy how people can excuse this HC.
His decision making on offense has been horrific since he was hired.
- Rick Dennison was a relic OC who couldn't hack it. No imagination let to a near NFL worst 18 PPG in 2017.
- McDermott hand picked Peterman to start over Taylor last year. Complete train wreck with 5 first half picks.
- Fires Dennison and replaces him with Brian Daboll, who has no success anywhere he's been. Yet again no imagination, and we're scoring 10.6 PPG in 2018 when the NFL average is around 25 PPG.
We need to accept that our HC just doesn't get it on offense. He can't hire good coaches below him, and this regime has not been able to upgrade the WR corps or OL.
Bottom line is this; he inherited the 10th ranked scoring offense in the NFL from 2016, and has created the worst offense the league has seen for about 20 years in under two years.
Though I hate to admit it ... there is some truth here. What we are doing now is paying up for free agents with this trainwreck. Yes money talks but it will have to talk alot louder to bring any sort of quality offensive personnel to join this dumpster fire.

I'm afraid this is more like a baseball injury ... look how long pitchers sit when they have elbow issues ... his Arm is his asset ... though I want him to be on the field ... the reality is that injury needs to fully heal since its his throwing arm ... the non throwing arm .. a leg .. throw him out there .. the golden arm must heal.

Wow...a lot of hyperbole and short memories in this thread. (sorry in advance for the super long post)
The 2015 Bills had one of the most talented rosters in the league? Really? They had some great talent, no doubt, but they were also starting Tyrod at QB, Clay at TE, John Miller at RG, Henderson at RT, Corbin Bryant at DT, Preston Brown, Nigel Bradham, and Manny Lawson at LBs, and Bacari Rambo and Corey Graham at S. Those guys don't stink, but none of them are superior talents and that is almost half of your starters. And the team was 8-8.
Worst GM ever? You must be young to say that. Some of us sat through a three season stretch of 2-14, 2-14, 4-12. And I'm sure the even older-timers could talk about other bad stretches. And Tom Donahoe has to be in that conversation too. How about Russ Brandin as GM, I mean c'mon. (And I won't mar the memory of a great coach by including him on this list...love you Marv!)
People bemoaning not still having Whaley. Look, I liked Doug and he did find some good players (pro personnel was probably his strength). But his mistake was thinking this team was closer than it was or he was just in a win now mentality to keep his job, so he gave out gaudy contracts that put us in cap trouble and had three terrible drafts in a row (after he took over the reins from Nix). He had 20 picks in those drafts and the best players he came away with were Watkins, Darby, Preston Brown, and O'Leary. Honestly go back and look at those drafts. They were bad.
And just a little perspective on the players they traded or didn't retain:
Chris Hogan has averaged 2 receptions for 32 yards and 0.24 TDs per game since he left the Bills
Sammy Watkins has averaged 3 receptions for 45 yards and .47 TDs per game since leaving the Bills (and had a self-admitted ego problem when in Buff)
Marquise Goodwin has averaged 3 receptions for 55.5 yards and 0.27 TDs per game post Bills (and has still had some injuries in SF)
Robert Woods has averaged 5 receptions for 72.65 yards and .4 TDs per game, plus he can block like a monster in the run game
Could any of them help this year, sure. But Woods is the only one I wish we still had going forward. And how were the Bills supposed to keep him when
his hometown team that was further along towards becoming a good team offered him $8 million a year. We couldn't pay him $9 or $10
million a year with our cap situation. And even then he might not have stayed considering his other option.
Marcel Dareus: great player when motivated, but after signing the big contract, he just stopped trying. Why would you keep him for that insane number.
Reggie Ragland: on his way out in KC. Old school player too slow for today's NFL
Mike Gilislee: not currently on a team
Cordy Glenn: I wouldn't mind still having Glenn, but that was a big number for an oft injured player
Ronald Darby: good player, I was against this one when it happened, but if the coaches felt he didn't fit their system, then why keep him
And too many fans just discount the Wood and Incognito retirements. That was a huge blow to this team. If the defense was playing like it is and our run game was much more successful (if Wood and Incognito were still around), we could have had a year like last year. We expected to have both of those players this year. It was a bad draft for O-linemen and obviously our focus had to remain on getting our QB and we just couldn't afford to pay top dollar to the best free agent O-linemen with our cap troubles. Heck, even Wood retiring put an unexpected extra drain on the cap. The woes in the run game are because the interior of our line just is not strong and athletic enough and that was an unforeseen circumstance that was really hard to correct in our position.
When rebuilding, you have to have some patience. The best rebuild is to rebuild through the draft, which is what McBeane is trying to do. You can't do that in one draft. That is why true rebuilds are usually three years. Three good drafts could really push a team forward (and the players are cheap). In the meantime, they were trying to still win by signing a bunch of decent players to one year contracts. Last year it worked and we were very competitive. This year we had just one too many things go wrong to continue winning. But the rebuild is still going forward. We have a top 10 defense, the future QB of our defense, a replacement for Kyle when he retires, hopefully our franchise QB. Next year they have to fix the O-line, receivers, and TE.
I think you can maybe fault them for AJ McCarron, Vontaze Davis, and the WR position. But there really wasn't much out there at QB that we could afford that was a better option (as they said they tried to get Anderson earlier but he didn't want to come). It's hard to bring in a QB that knows he might only get half a season before their #1 draft pick gets on the field and when you don't want to or can't pay him big money. And they should have had a better plan B for Vontaze, since he was older and coming off an injury. As for the WRs, again, we didn't have the money to go out and get a bigger name, but there were probably a few guys at least that could have helped. But you know what, every FO makes some mistakes. No one hits on every player in the draft or FA. And we were severely strapped by the cap this year.
And stop saying the cap issue was their own fault. It wasn't. Yes, they may have added a bit to it trying to find players to help this year (Coleman I'm looking at you), but the majority of it comes from the Whaley contracts. Whether we kept some of those players (that we traded or let go) or not, we would still be cap-strapped this year due to big and back-loaded contracts. So, even if we kept three of them, say, there were still going to be holes that weren't going to get filled adequately this year.
The best this season was ever going to be given the circumstances was a repeat of last year....overachieving team and a little magic. But the ball bounced the wrong way at too many spots. But, I don't see how you can't give them their third year in a three year plan. I think next year will be a significant step forward and we will be a good team. This year we have to take our lumps and it sucks. But I find it interesting that people feel like there is no plan or its a terrible plan when the plan seems all so obvious to me. Obviously, a lot is riding on if Joash Allen can actually become the guy. But, we can't keep firing coaches and GMs every two years. You can't get anywhere that way. Let the plan fully roll out and then we can make a more informed decision on Beane and McDermott. To fire them now would be foolish.
I hope you can all at least enjoy watching Allen progress when he returns. And who knows, maybe Peterman will become a redemption story. Hang in there and Go Bills!
HOLY *$#*_&%$#& ... somebody with a logical narrative ... nice post .. totally agree! It's amazing just last season .. these two were walking on water (sans the Tyrod benching) for bringing a winning record/playoffs ... now they are trash in some people's eyes.

Bottom line .. nothing will happen ... good or bad till after next year ... I believe after blowhard Rex ... the Pegulas made their choice based on a long term version that McD and subsequently Beane sold them (and let's not kid ourselves that those two were likely a package deal from the get go .. Whaley was dead man walking) ... the playoffs last year was a unexpected surprise to all ... the fans, the coach, the GM, and the owners .. but it broke the streak ... so now this year is likely worse than expected (and the QB room and the OL/WR talent is certainly a dumpster fire and they should be blamed) ... but again it was planned to be somewhat bad ... 2019 was and is the swing season ... there is either marked improvement .. or we get ready for the next regime's kool aid.

Exactly why would you trade one of your best players for a mid to late round pick? The odds of drafting a starter are less than 50/50 even in the best possible scenario. And given the historic incompetence of our current front office on evaluating offensive talent, it is downright suicide to have to fill the hole you would create.
Historic Success Chart
The numbers show us the following outline for finding consistent starters:
1st Round - OL (83%) LB (70%) TE (67%) DB (64%) QB (63%) WR (58%) RB (58%) DL (58%)
2nd Round - OL (70%) LB (55%) TE (50%) WR (49%) DB (46%) QB (27%) DL (26%) RB (25%)
3rd Round - OL (40%) TE (39%) LB (34%) DL (27%) WR (25%) DB (24%) QB (17%) RB (16%)
4th Round - DL (37%) TE (33%) OL (29%) LB (16%) WR(12%) DB (11%) RB (11%) QB (8%)
5th Round - TE (32%) DB (17%) WR (16%) OL (16%) DL (13%) RB (9%) LB (4%) QB (0%)
6th Round - TE (26%) OL (16%) DL (13%) WR (9%) DB (8%) RB (6%) LB (5%) QB (0%)
7th Round - DB (11%) OL (9%) QB (6%) WR (5%) DL (3%) LB (2%) RB (0%) TE (0%)
If you truly .. I won't say "trust" the process ... but "believe" there is a process.. then you're looking beyond this year and likely next .. that means Shady won't be part of the long term solution ... make the move .. based on draft percentages above ... looks like we have a 1 in 3 shot of getting a starting TE (round 4-6) for Shady .. bring it.

1. How much money will Clay make per yard receiving
2. Would you sign/hope Kyle comes back for one more year at the same pay?
3. Will the Bills throw for less than 2500 yards?
4. Trade down or get stud DL in 2019
5. Do you really trust McBeane and Daboll with the offensive side of the ball? I mean really, what are your eyes telling you?
6. Do these guys have a clue, who are they grooming/developing on this receiving corp for the future besides Zay who they traded up for in the 2nd rd.
1. Too much
2. Kyle always has a place on my team
3. If Josh stayed in yes ... just because a rookie .. will be interesting to see if Derek can make KB re-appear
4. Yes and no .. trade down and get OL help
5. Nope ... moreso Daboll ..
6. see #5

Thought 1 - Brandon ... how dare you not look at what you put on the field .. you're not paying the Bills for this (*$#@^(*
Thought 2 - Hey Brandon .. are you scouting WR's by looking in the stands?
Thought 3 - Brandon .. quit watching the Jets game.

He's in the top 2
-
If you are allowing a cancer like Benjamin be in the locker room .. it shocks me we don't bring in Matthews.
Dez is too proud of himself to suit up for the Bills in my opinion given the current QB situation. He will be using any team in 2018 as a audition to land on one of the top teams in 2019 and the Bills don't fit that currently.
-
Totally agree .. .the TD catch by Hopkins was ridiculous as Tre was all over him .. very few if any other WR's pull down that ball ... totally makes you forget about Gilmore
