This announcing crew is terrible. Quite likely the worst I have ever heard . Are they drunk?

I knew it was a blitz. They more often than not do that to rookies and make them beat you. Got to have better protection on third and longs.

Lets go boys. Show some heart, toughness, and resilience out there today!

Those of us who are negative all the time are right. We were right last year and the previous 17 years, and we are right this year. Is it a coincidence? Maybe, but everyone with rose colored glasses is has been and continues to be wrong. It's that black and white.
You might say "We made the playoffs last year!" However, anyone who watched the team could tell they were completely inept on offense (and defense for a few games after trading Dareus) and had no chance at a superbowl (which is the goal of football in the NFL in case you forgot). So getting to kick a field goal in the playoffs only made us use draft capital to get the 3rd QB off the board. This draft capital was built by trading away talented YOUNG players at positions we currently desperately need help at.
The above paragraph describes the BEST season the Bills have had in the past 18 years.
This season it looks like they are the worst team in the league. Set up for the #1 overall pick. Which would have been great LAST YEAR. That way they could have used that draft capital on an offensive line and some WRs, and try to make the playoffs this year with their young QB. The irony is too painful to me and others on this board with half a brain. That is why we are negative.
So I'm a little sick of hearing that we are being too negative after one bad game. It's not just one game. It's all the personnel moves (or lack thereof) that make no sense. It's the Jets-Chargers-Saints stretch last year. It's McDermott punting late in overtime against the Colts. It's a draw play on 3rd and 17 with a false start followed by a draw play on 3rd and 22 after the Ravens saw us attempt a draw play on 3rd and 17. It's the poor clock management, and it's the fact that despite the fact that they are in the second year of a "rebuild" they are the 2nd OLDEST team in the NFL.
You werent right last year. Try again.

True enough. The insurance salesman, car dealers, and realtors in Chicago are a LOT tougher than the ones in Seattle!
Thats a poor attempt to justify a comparison against the two. Very poor attempt. You can do better.

EJ Manuel (who played the 1st 3 quarters): 18/22, 255 yards, 3 TD, 0 INT, sacked once for 2 yards
AJ McCarron (who played the entire game): 13/34, 156 yards, 3 TD, 2 INT, sacked 5 times for 30 yards. McCarron did also run for a TD inside the 10.
I (think) most of us agree that EJ Manuel isn't very good. So it's odd to me that there is all this talk about EJ Manuel being awful and Gruden needing a backup, yet the guy he thoroughly outplayed is so clearly an upgrade.
I hope the narrative catches on and the Bills CAN trade him. I just think we're over-reacting a bit to the "legendary" game against practice squad players where McCarron struggled mightily and got lucky that he was going against guys who hit him right in the face on 4th and forever.
This is a bad post. You completely left the part out that they werent playing for the same teams against the same teams. Its not even comparable.

Quick question that will provide many answers. Are the same folks that hated the diaries trade the same folks questioning why Mack would be bad for us?

For the love of god, our line was stacked that year and we had nobody outside of Woods at WR. It made much more sense to draft a WR at the time.
It made no sense to spend all that draft capital on a wide receiver with no quarterback.

Didn't the Bills once have a chance at this player from Buffalo University?
Whaley made sure that wouldn’t happen by doubling down on a previous mistake.

Never insinuated that it would happen. Simply made a statement. Dial it back a bit champ.

OK, but again if you are going to expend a very valuable pick on a guy would you not dig deeper to have a better understanding of this situation? It really seems like the Browns were simply negligent in missing the information.
Gms are enamored by speed and potential. Ross was the next big thing despite having a huge knee surgery. It’s almost like people overlook everything for speed. Some times it works most of the time it doesn’t. In our case we gave up very little for a player that has the potential to contribute to our team. If he doesn’t we didn’t lose anything worth mentioning. Our GM and HC are masters at risk mitigation.

Two paragraphs from a story by AP Sports Writer Tom Withers.
But beyond Coleman's problems on the field, he had issues outside the lines that hurt his standing with
Coach Hue Jackson and new General Manager John Dorsey.
Coleman was named in a police report regarding an alleged felonious assault last year. He was also sent home
from the Browns trip to Houston for missing curfew while he was injured.
We are changing the culture. With Zay Jones and Coleman on the field as WRs (insert your own joke here)
It was already discussed and investigated per the media’s report.

I'm talking about as of now. Right now, Gordon is MIA, and Dez is a rumor. Right now, the Browns traded away TT's number 2 for a 7th round pick---in 2020.

Whaley traded for Jerry Hughes and LeSean McCoy. Why does everyone always have to put someone Dow to praise someone?
Jerry Hughes was under the nap time gm. Check the dates. Chip Kelly called Whaley. Whaley has to answer the phone. That isn’t hard. Nice try. Whaley stink and his stench is almost gone.

Well, you've mixed a couple things there.
Absolutely there are busts who did not have maturity/work ethic/attitude/discipline. Jamarcus Russell, Ryan Leaf, Josh Freeman probably, Johnny Manziel come to mind.
But now you get to "field smarts". What is that exactly? Is it innate? Is it learnable? Coachable?
Certainly there are failed QB who had the maturity, work ethic, attitude, and discipline to succeed. So if you bring in "field smarts", if a failed QB doesn't have enough of it, isn't that tantamount to saying "he failed because he failed"? And doesn't it still beg the question, if it's learnable or coachable at all, are there guys who might have had a different trajectory if their development were handled differently?
Agreed on both points. Not only Harbaugh, but then improved even further working with Andy Reid, to the point where he just got paid.
So yeah, coaching and how a QB is handled does make a difference.
I was 50/50 about using field smarts. Then I read a few articles about how these1/2 rd qbs are living and breathing football since the age 8-11 yrs of age. That’s astonishing with high level coaching, summer camps, qb camps etc that’s 12- 14 yrs of craft honing. While that doesn’t make them a master, they should have a decent level of field smarts; obviously not expecting Manning level.

He needs to set his sights on making the team first and becoming a reliable consistent starter that is impactful on what he’s asked to do.

I would say no. I would say that those that were failed qbs had a significant mosaic of problems that prevented them from being good qbs. From maturity, to work ethic, attitude, field smarts, to discipline, etc...

The Rams didn't let him go. His contract was up. The Chiefs outbid everyone else. If you think they offered that contract sans any competition for his services, you'd be wrong.
To wit: http://www.latimes.com/sports/rams/la-sp-rams-sammy-watkins-20180313-story.html
Man do you live under a rock. The rams let Sammy go and paid 81 mil to cooks for 5 years vice sammy’s 3 yr 48 mil. They actually paid more for cooks than Sammy was paid. Cmon. Like I said I’m done on this topic until the end of the season.

He was the #1 WR for the Bills in the eight games he played even on 1 leg and he was also the #1 WR for the Rams in terms of the way he was covered. You are simply incorrect.
No I’m not the number support and so days the Rams letting him go. We will discuss this in January hopefully you are still around then.

Just now, dave mcbride said:
Um, he was injured in 2016 - Lisfranc. More importantly, contracts are based on projection, not past performance. Teams don't pay players for past performance; they pay them for projected performance. The Chiefs, who are 53-27 the last five seasons and are clearly good at roster building, project him to be an elite receiver. You clearly don't, but I'm gonna go with the Chiefs' opinion on this one.
Good I’ll be sure to book mark this and bring it up at the end of the season when you and the chiefs are wrong.

You did not answer the question. Who was the Bills #1 WR during Watkins' three year tenure with the Bills? Actually it's based on his actual production in his 1st two seasons. Your revisionist history is interesting.
Not to mention Watkins was covered by #1 CBs all season long in 2017.
No one is revisiting anything. He wasn’t the number one receiver for the bills sinc 2015. He wasn’t the number wine receiver for the rams last year. Sammy hasn’t been a number one receiver for two years those are the facts. Once again all of this is based off of assumption on a huge contract.
1 minute ago, dave mcbride said:You really should start focusing on the talent he clearly possesses rather than just rattling off numbers. He's far more talented than Woods, and I like Woods. It's amazing to me how easily Bills fans turn on players who are traded or leave. Christ: he was a very productive player for the Bills his first two seasons, and he was injured during his third.
I understand he’s talented. You should start focusing on what he has produced. I’m sure Sammy realizes that now seeing how he’s on his 3rd team.
[Edited Title] Patrick Mahomes Looks Great

At some point you are going to have to come to the realization that Mahomes isnt our qb. Also its week 2 of the season. Last year this time people were crowning Hunt as the best rb in the NFL. Lets dial it back a bit, for everyones sake.
