Would you draft Oliver or Bosa?
Boatdrinks replied to Skins Malone's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Beane and McDermott have shown a penchant for drafting a single player with multiple picks, so yes. Last time they traded back they passed on Mahomes. Doesn’t look like a brilliant move right now. -

McDermott's Judgement on offense is impaired.

Is autotype doing the “DaBoll “thing too ? I’m pretty sure it’s Daboll , but often see DaBoll used. -
Going Through WORST Possible Scenario With Allen
Boatdrinks replied to BuffaloBaumer's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The lake effect snow is actually right smack dab in Orchard Park and even further south. Not downtown Buffalo. There would be plenty of places to party pregame and a covered stadium would open things up to a more upscale fan. Not that it’s going to happen anytime soon, but a new downtown stadium wouldn’t be the apocalypse you make it out to be. -
Fans have been sold a bill of goods. The team was 9-7 last year and managed to make the playoffs. Improving the team enough to extract two more wins going forward ( 11-5 is a pretty solid record in the NFL year in and year out) was within their reach. They decided to take things unnecessarily downward. There is no rule book saying a team must scrape the depths in order to be perennial contenders. This FO has completely bungled the Bills.

Not really. He was often injured on fairly routine looking tackles while playing WR. He was training for track , and not for survival as an NFL WR. When his Bills contract was winding down , then he got serious about staying in the league. Beathard is much better than Allen at this point. I can say that with confidence. SFs defense isn’t as good as the Bills. The Bills with Beathard would have a decent chance of beating the Packers at Lambeau. They were unable to compete with Allen at the helm.

Imagine if the bills didn't sign Anderson last week

Then Bills fans get treated to another dose of Peterman. He probably was expecting to get that $$ for mostly holding a clipboard. Oops! -
The ownership has no respect for us
Boatdrinks replied to Rebel101's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think it’s much deeper than just scheme fits when it comes to McDermott’s all-important “ process”. Most NFL defensive Coaches have a preferred scheme whether it’s 3-4 , 4-3, zone vs man etc. Few are truly multiple such as Wade Phillips. New England always finds very specific scheme fit players for their offense, usually small shifty WRs that aren’t “ stars” on other teams. There are plenty of players and no team is built around free agents. The real limiting factor in the process is tossing out talented players that haven’t shown a particular personality or makeup. A locker room has all kinds of personalities and egos, and a Coach needs to be better than that. Coach them up, get more out of them and convince them to buy into what you’re selling. You only get so much time when you take over a floundering team or a franchise spinning its wheels. Tossing out good players for lesser ones expecting to hit on all draft picks is a recipe for failure. Maybe McDermott makes it work but I have strong doubts he gets enough time. The process requirement of heaving existing talent overboard makes it a loser. -
Mahomes and his offensive gameplan
Boatdrinks replied to TonyBeets's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Thanks for clearing that up. Wasn’t sure if that was your argument or not, so I qualified it with an if.
