Nope. They traded down due only to organizational dysfunction of entering a draft with a lame duck GM. McD was making the picks, and he moved up multiple times for specific players rather than letting the draft come to him and spending just a single pick. McDermott has been involved in just two Bills drafts, so that’s the data we have to go by. They seem to have a penchant for wasting picks. I, for one hope it stops. This team needs a lot of players after their roster purge.

If you’re waiting for a real team and a real GM, the Bills may get there. Waiting for “ real” aka new ownership ? It’s probably time to turn in your fan card.

2 drafts for McD. While we know he chose to move down instead of draft a badly needed QB ( due to organizational dysfunction), he also paid multiple draft picks for Zay Jones and Dawkins. Two drafts of move ups is definitely a pattern.

Exactly 3, and that makes the whole thing a lot less sexy. When you’ve torn a roster down to expansion team level, you need all the players you can get. They literally need to draft 10 players and hope for a great haul. It’s the only way they get past year 3 without being shown the door.

Of course a team would prefer 5 or 6 difference makers, however spending multiple picks on players is mostly a fools errand. It’s how you end up with “ difference maker” Zay Jones instead of JuJu Smith Schuster or Golliday. The draft is a crap shoot, so outside of QB let it fall to you and draft more players. Tre’Davious White is pretty darn good and was picked in the ‘20s of round one.

This is fact. We will have to see what the offense looks like with added talent around Allen to get a true evaluation on him. However the addition of this WR talent won’t change his accuracy. He will be what he will be, and it may work. Or he may constantly miss open targets and flame out. Data is mixed thus far, and Allen’s deficiencies reading coverages and recognizing pressures compound the difficulty in evaluating him as a passer.

Interesting stat. A sub-82 yard passing day looks closer to a 50/50 win proposition than I would have thought.

They inquired and apparently made an offer. Since the Raiders were pretty set on trading Mack out of Conference, (and the Bears paid a steep price )the Bills would have needed to pay even more.

Ten picks and a lot of $$ is great, but can Beane and McD realize that it’s better to draft 10 players with those picks instead of 5 ? Good players are found all over the draft and the Bills need a lot more good players. The current regime’s penchant for paying multiple draft picks for one player isn’t a good strategy.

The ‘04 Steelers limited Roethlisberger to around 20 attempts per game, coupled with a persistent ground game and solid defense. That Pittsburgh squad was far more talented than the current Bills, and no one is predicting that the Bills will finish anywhere near the AFC title game. The concept can work and even make sense. Allen can be developed without throwing 35 passes a contest. It will take creative and judicious play calling from Daboll, and the Titans gameplan can / should be expanded on.

No prob man. Not trying to be douchey or anything. I can see where it looked a little off

No, I meant post as I stated. Today’s Offense would definitely have looked right at home in the NFL circa 1975. The question I answered was “ when are the Bills going to get respect from Vegas “ btw.

Too soon. Cost controlled for 3 more seasons.

Allen has been in the league 2 years ? Tyrod is gone because he couldn’t produce decent passing numbers even after 7 years in the NFL. Allen has started 4 games. If he can’t show big time improvement after a couple seasons he will be gone too.

When their offense looks like it belongs on an NFL field post 1975.

It’s annoying, but they had zero money to spend this year. I don’t agree with the offensive talent they let go, but it’s apparent there will be no reinforcements until 2019. The defense during Rex’s last year here ( two years ago) wasn’t very good, btw.

No, but he’s very good. A good season and he may be considered top 5 or so

But after all, it was you and me

It’s at least as bad. Fwiw McCoys 85 yards was a top ten rushing yardage performance in the NFL today. It’s a passing league plain and simple. The offense will only be good if Allen develops as a passer. Trying to hide him behind a running game isn’t going to produce many wins in the modern NFL game. Find out if Allen can do it; passing on first down once in awhile would be a good start. Then hammer Allen with the mantra that throwing to the outlet when downfield is covered is a good thing. These are easy yards that all good QBs will gladly take today.

This coupled with passing on Mahomes might be this FO/ HC’ s undoing.

Don’t know what could lead Bills fans to this conclusion today. We still don’t have enough information. There has been encouraging and not so encouraging data thus far. Of the 2018 rookie QBs, Allen looks to be the least impressive passer. That’s a huge concern going forward.

I’d love if he didn’t call a run on almost every first down though

Out of TOs.... tick this down ... I’d love a TD tho instead of FG try with this ST

Nice safe pass

Lol he got in the way that’s about it from him
