I’m guessing the overall lack of practice time allowed by the CBA changed things. Not enough time for QB2s to be practicing with special teams.

Music to the ears of starting CBs everywhere.

I’d say it can be measured in games, not picks. There is no Tyrod with a decent body of work to turn to. If things go off the rails for Peterman, he still gets the first 4 games. Once Allen goes in, there is no turning back except in case of injury.

The emphasis on seniors rather than underclassmen, more squeaky clean track records and passing on a first round QB led sources close to the team to speculate that Whaley was pushed into the background by McD and Pegula. His dismissal shortly thereafter would indicate it was a done deal well before the draft.

4-12. Peterman goes 1-5 as starter before Allen takes over at QB.

One of these analytics “ numbers tell the whole story” geeks. Grain of salt for sure.

They probably don’t need it, but B.B. will do anything to win. Including cheat. The Bills have a new OC who he is very familiar with, but he will still try to get inside intel.

Actually yes. He has dealerships in Texas as well. Interestingly enough, he goes by “ Billy Fernandez” or something there. Apparently not in FLA though. The commercials are annoying, yet probably effective.

Thanks for chiming in. I’ll fill in the details. I called a post that suorangefan4 made about white WRs, the Pats, Belichick and it’s association with winning “ silly”. I also stated that B.B. has a penchant for white WR’s. (It’s a long running source of jokes among football observers and fans). The OldtimeAFL starts implying that I am somehow racist and think that B.B.’s success is due to preferring white players. Mind you, I said nothing of the sort, asked him to re-read my post and the suorangefan4 post it was in response to. If you are going to highlight a portion of my post in bold, I think you should know the whole story.

You made up all kinds of drivel about Belichick , skin color etc and assumptions about my post . It is a FACT that the Pats have had many Caucasian WRs for many years under B.B. Everyone knows it, media, talk show hosts, fans of other teams et al. It’s often joked about. That’s ALL I SAID. I made no value judgments of the sort you are projecting onto me. In fact , I called suorangefan4 post that DID express a value judgment of that sort “ silly”. I’ll assume your reading comprehension is average to above, so where are you getting this crap ?

Where did I say anything like this ? I was merely pointing out to suorangefan4 that his post ( which was full of your assumptions btw) was silly. That many of us here are aware of the long running joke about BB, the Pats and white WRs. No one takes it very seriously, just a fun fact. He seemed to take it very seriously, and you for some reason are projecting his thoughts onto me. I do NOT appreciate it . Please stop! I think you need to re-read the post I responded to.

McDermott. It was widely noted by observers during the draft that it seemed very un Whaley- ish, and someone else may have been calling the shots. Whaley and crew did the scouting reports, but that was McDermott’s draft to own. The decision to pass on a QB ( so the next GM could pick their guy) was probably his as well. Good point on Dareus, but McD needed to show the locker room that exceptions wouldn’t be made when effort was in question.

I thought Watkins was on the Chiefs and the Bills home opener was vs the Chargers. Who knew?

There’s zero ignorance about it. Simply factual based on their roster over the years. I made no value judgment about it or Belichick achievements . It’s been pointed out many many times by media/ journalists / talk radio hosts. See the OP I responded to for an ignorant post, though.

OL , WR. It doesn’t appear there are many options out there , though.

Juan Castillo has Ducasse on the friends and family program.

This is silly. Plenty of black WRs in the NFL. Many have won Superbowls , some even with the Pats*. Anyway, it’s easy to make WRs look good when you have Brady. Belichick seems to have a penchant for Caucasoid receivers, AND he’ll always sign a guy from a division rival for intelligence on the enemy.

Yet with even a Tyrod Taylor those years, the Broncos probably make the playoffs. Any GM without a QB will be without a job if he doesn’t find one in short order.

Scary for sure. While I don’t think tanking was ever a part of their strategy, the ramifications of cap purgatory resulting from cleanup post Whaley are real. Severe limitations this year for acquiring talent, made worse by Wood and Incognitos untimely departures. That 2014 OL might look decent compared to this. Your projection may not be far off.

Talking smack is one thing , but c’mon. I gave him the benefit of the doubt though.

We hope...

It means the Bills had plenty of good backup talent, as well as the Saints. The problem is many of the Bills starters have backup level talent.

BBFS dictates that the Bills must be cutting better players in favor of worse ones.

Be concerned... very concerned. Even OLs they had hoped to develop on the ps are now gone. It’s a good thing they kept Ducasse around.

I understand the reason. Neither QB is good enough right now.
