Bills 2023 schedule 7th hardest (based off of 2022 opponents)
LABILLBACKER replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
Trust me we all would prefer an easier schedule but we have no control. We need a calmer year with less drama and injuries. Playoff teams like Tampa, NYG, LAC, and Dallas don't terrify me. The bottom line is Josh needs to be able to play under less stress and duress. Beane better have an amazing off season. -

About right. The afce has to face the nfce. I think I saw 10 of our games are against playoff teams. We're not winning 13 this year. But we will be battle tested. -
You guys sure are more patient than me. I was done with Leslie somewhere between Houston and the AFCCG in Arrowhead. Long before the fun of :13......

FA and draft needs? Shoot your shot.
LABILLBACKER replied to thunderingsquid's topic in The Stadium Wall
Tell that to McFrazier, not me. I wanted to transition away from zone in 2019. -
I'm probably not moving on from Dion just yet even if he did struggle some last year. On a 27th ranked OL, he's still our best, followed by squeezing one last year out of Morse. Bates is our 3rd best olineman but only when he's at LG. This year we absolutely have to replace Saffold & Brown. How we do it should be a mix of FA & draft. Maybe somebody like Pocic can play RG for 1 season then transition to C. If we don't go WR @ 27 we sure as he'll better consider T there if someone drops. Next year we may have to consider replacing Dawkins/Bates?

Don't think "WR2" in the upcoming draft. Think WR1.
LABILLBACKER replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
All I know is I'd have my WR scouts working OT this spring. We can't afford any busts. -

LABILLBACKER replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
We need both simultaneously. Someone to Start grooming for Diggs and maybe Davis in a couple years. Get them both on rookie deals asap. I'm not saying we'll be able to get them both this April but we need at least 1 and draft the other next year. -

LABILLBACKER replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall
My hope is 3 OL & 1 WR in the first 4 rounds. What order doesn't really matter as long as we get great value. And yes very soon we're going to have to target a 1st rounder to transition into Stefon's spot. -
Bills need to hit on picks to have a chance
LABILLBACKER replied to Niagara Dude's topic in The Stadium Wall
This April is Beane's last stand, Little Big Horn. If he doesn't nail several offensive picks, he's getting scalped. -

Reid & Veach are absolutely destroying McB in every aspect of off season decisions. And trade deadline acquisitions by KC are used and contributing immediately, while the Choir boys let their players marinate. -
Can you imagine being Allen last night?
LABILLBACKER replied to whorlnut's topic in The Stadium Wall
My biggest fear. But I think Brandon finally realizes he's in a little trouble. I think we're allocating a majority of the draft and FA on offense. We're not re-signing Edmunds, Poyer or Singletary. And frankly Gabe & Ed are on thin ice. -
Brandon Beane admitting fault & not learning from his mistakes.
LABILLBACKER replied to Rebel101's topic in The Stadium Wall
True, he's already been given the thumbs up for year 2. Obviously we all root for him to improve. Plenty of people including myself had issues with Daboll early. But Daboll had substantially more experience than Ken. That's why I'm very skeptical. I needed to see a little bit more clever or innovative plays and they weren't there this season. The headset meltdown didn't help either. -

LABILLBACKER replied to Rebel101's topic in The Stadium Wall
....not all of them...I can recall an OC named Nathaniel Hackett who's every bit as bad now as he was years ago with us. In theory some get better with time, patience and experience. But some like Hackett & Rex don't. I'm the same age as you Shaw and have worked in various industries. Some get better and some don't. I just personally don't see Dorsey having that innovative ability to improve. The bottom line IMHO is find a dynamic OC (Ben Johnson type) to promote as your HC. So Josh isn't changing philosophies every 3 years. -

LABILLBACKER replied to Rebel101's topic in The Stadium Wall
If people are expecting this magical 1 year turn around by Dorsey, you're somewhat delusional. And if the culture of Preacher Sean is constricting this team to get better players than I just don't have the answer. -
Josh Allen massive favorite in odds to win 2023 NFL MVP
LABILLBACKER replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yes it's much worse than GB & NE. Maybe Nome, Alaska might have us beat. -
Thank you 🍺....We've already managed to waste Josh's 5 year rookie window. We've seen organizations like the Chiefs and Chargers literally overhaul their entire OL in 1 off-season. Yet we're so willing to give Sean & Brandon a "lifetime pass" because they pulled the Bills out of the drought. Did McB really get us out of the drought? Or was it really Andy Dalton & Josh Allen? If these 2 guys don't show an extreme commitment to surrounding Josh with multiple players (OL/WR2), then I wash my hands of them.

LABILLBACKER replied to whorlnut's topic in The Stadium Wall
Well FC, I do agree Josh is not infallible but of the top 5 qbs in this league, Josh clearly has the weakest OL. And you can't deny the propensity for turnovers is greatly enhanced by this fact. Now add no WR2 or consistent run game and things get even more amplified. -

LABILLBACKER replied to whorlnut's topic in The Stadium Wall
This organization had every opportunity to build a dominant OL in front of Josh in 2019 and beyond. They've failed him, plain & simple. They choose defensive failures over protecting and supporting your greatest asset. Let McD wrestle with that.
