LABILLBACKER

We'll give you Edmunds and a 6th. You give us Barkley and a 4th.

Hope he enjoyed his one moment in the sun with the hail mary.

Totally agree. Other then a couple plays, he was pretty invisible this season when he did play. Save the cap hit and cut him. Harry can hold down the fort till we draft a stronger 1T.

I go a step further. 80 points in our last 2 playoff games w/ KC. We'll never be "built to beat KC" until Kelce retires.

It is a combo. An extremely over ranked defense supported by an over-rated defensive HC. He had a 16-0 lead in Houston. A 9-0 lead last year and the game winning td from our heroic qb, only to fail miserably all 3 times. See a trend here?

2 years of playing KC in the playoffs. Gave up a total of 80 points. Our spectacular #1 D held them to only 42 points. At least the Cincinnati defense was smart enough to keep Mahomes in the pocket. Last year Tampa simply bull rushed him into panic situations. There's no one on the planet that can convince me we ever had a #1 D this year. Not with all the garbage qbs we faced. Our D wasn't battle tested and it showed v. KC. And as much as Frazier bores me, McD calls half the plays so the bulk of the blame goes on him.

Take notes for next years SB Bills. No Vegas shenanigans.

.....just like Edmunds....

Every single thread on this board morphs into something else. Happens all the time. Don't worry we'll cut some cap fat and Beane will hopefully replace probable cap casualties like Sanders, Beasley and McKenzie with better, younger and more productive weapons for Josh.

Tre played the entire KC game last year and we lost by 2 tds? And giving up 80 points to KC in consecutive years hardly screams good defense. We need a better pass rush, whether you want to admit or not. And yes McDermott epically failed this team in those last 13 seconds. He had 3 opportunities to win that game and butchered them all. Unfortunately the season was probably decided in Jacksonville.

So in other words just like a regular season game. Listen, if the pro bowl is going to snub a qb like Josh yet invite a mediocre player like Edmunds, I'm out. It's basically pointless anyway with the added 17th game.

So true. He needs more speed and aggressive structure for his defense. A little less zone and a better pass rush would do wonders.

What's absolutely nuts is Bass has successfully performed that exact pop up to the 10 yard line probably 15x this season. And maybe the return guy (Hardman) panics and calls a fair catch. Obviously Sean's defensive scheme was a disgrace on those last 2 plays, but as SVP said on espn that night, "I'd give up a 20 yard return to shave off 5 seconds all day". Pure stupidity by Clappy.

We've seen the last of Levi. I'm almost 100% sure we draft Tre's counterpart @ 25. Wallace was commendable yet usually unspectacular. He's worth no more than 4-5M and that's generous. Of course the same could be said for Edmunds.

This team has no returner right now and I don't think they want to stick Micah on punts long term. I like Berrios or Patterson. Whoever has the lower cap hit.

We don't have the money anyway and even if we did we need to find a real pass rusher. Not this nonsense like Murphy or Addison. I would love a 4.29 wr like Hill but those aren't available.

He absolutely made the right decision. Decompress and tell the pro bowl to go fish. I'm sure he had a great time playing those amazing courses. He's definitely got golf chops.

As the OP said, Isaiah just doesn't come close to having the change of direction or quickness occa Tyreek type. Plus I think the Bills are looking for a returner and we combo. Which clearly due to ball security, McKenzie & Stevenson are not.

Honestly the simplest explanation is usually the right one. I think McDermott got so caught up in Josh's game winning td that everything after that got butchered and mismanaged. I don't think he had any plan for the kickoff and the 2 defensive formations were like a drunk guy just screamed "prevent"..."prevent".....We've known for quite some time that McD is great with his culture/process philosophy. But his actual in game decisions are abysmal. As for Frazier, he's too stoic, conservative and mediocre for me. I'd love to see us hire Flores as our DC but the good ole boys club won't allow that.

If you struggle to get value with your 1st & 2nd round picks, maybe go the Diggs route and trade the pick for proven young talent.

To get the most out of the "ridiculous optimum version" of Josh, he'll need to get his first championship before his 30th birthday. After 30 you'll see the scrambling version move toward pocket Josh. I strongly doubt he plays past 40 but I can see him getting a 2nd ring in his late 30's. The AFC is so ridiculously loaded with elite qbs that whoever wins the AFC will be strong favorites to win the SB.

So far kinda a C+/B- draft. Groot had that one amazing day but didn't really sustain much. He absolutely has to have a 7-8 sack season at the least this fall. Basham looks slow and more like a 3T than a pass rusher. Spencer needs to get stronger in his legs so guys like Ingram don't toss him to the ground like a little kid. He'll improve at RT. Didn't see enough of Doyle to have an assessment. Stevenson was supposed to be that speed wr and return guy but he was awful and will likely get cut. Wildgoose/Anderson gone. At this point you gotta pray Brown & Rousseau improve. We need a marquee pass rusher in the worst way.

That's probably what they'll do and I'm ok with it. No way he's worth 10/yr. He better enjoy his 12.7 because that's the last penny he gets from the Bills.

No pop up kickoff still pisses me off. Forcing them to burn 4-5 seconds would've changed everything. Then braindead could've run his prevent defense.

Star.....the gift that keeps on giving.
