  1. Coaching has kept this team out of the playoffs the past 2 years. Way too many close games decided by blunders or lack of discipline.

     

    We don't know what we have in McDermott, but I love what I've seen so far. If he can turn this talented team into a disciplined, motivated unit that actually shows up to play each week, 10-6 or even 11-5 is possible.

    From an optimistic viewpoint I see the weak Carolina defense as vulnerable. Denver has no elite QB. We destroyed Cinncy last year.The Charger, Saints & Colts games are winnable. If we can beat Carolina and start 2-0 it could be a very interesting year? Maybe Brady and Ajayi go down with injuries mid year? And on a final note the Raiders notoriously play horrible in Buffalo.
  2.  

    It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that this is not a playoff team. I await the Vegas over and under numbers. Thinking the line will be between 6 and 7 wins.

     

    To be clear, yes I would feel better if my team's management had basic roster evaluation abilities with regard to how it stacked up to the rest of the NFL.

    We have the 5th hardest schedule. The NE/Mia end of year games make no sense. 5 wins will not get us Darnold.

  3. Maybe I'm just in the minority of people who aren't too concerned if MG leaves. I certainly wouldn't call RB a need at that point.

    Bang have you lost your marbles. We're the number one running team in the NFL and I'm sure we plan on continuing that scenario. If Shady goes down and we don't resign Gillislee, Tolbert or some unproven rookie will be anchoring our number one running offense. For god sakes just pay TD Mike and be done with it, he's worth every penny. And it will still leave us a little cap space to maneuver the draft picks. Let's not get sucked into New England's plan every year by forcing us and a corner. And frankly Gillislee is worth more than a 5th round pick considering his production the last two years

  4. Doug Whaley is on borrowed time and we all know it. His power position with this organization has clearly diminished over the last few months. And unless he hits one out of the park with this upcoming draft, he's pretty much gone. His legacy will be the disaster of EJ Manuel and the over valuing of Sammy Watkins. Not to mention a couple of contracts that were way more than they should have been with Dareus and Clay...

  5.  

    One guy played in a pro style offense under Mike Sherman.

     

    The other played in the spread and was in shotgun all the time.

     

    I'm not saying Trubisky isn't accurate, but EJ Manuel completed 68% of his passes his last year at FSU. Is he accurate?

    When we made the disastrous decision to draft Maybin it was based on a very small body of work. That's what scares me about MT. Only 13 college games under his belt? Accuracy and arm strength similar to EJ. Would it be the same result. I personally don't think any of the top 4 qbs are 1st rounders.

  6. Of course most fans are hoping a trade down deal comes through. Obviously we need to find a partner willing to give us a good deal. We have no 4th pick. It's a deep draft for db's. There will be very good players there between 12-18. And finally TT's restructured deal is hardly a ringing endorsement to his long term position with the Bills. Maybe we take Watson, Trubisky or Mahomes @ 10? But I think at least 1 of these 3 qbs will be there between 12-18....trade down at all costs...we desperately need more picks.

  7. BB has never broken rules. BB knows the rules better than anyone on earth and takes advantage of that knowledge. The Patriots didn't build a dynasty on cheating. They built a dynasty built on being better and smarter than the other 31 teams.

    That's so true. I don't call him the mad scientist for nothing. He exploits every team and knows the weakness of every team and every player on that team. Sure it helps to have a Hall of Fame quarterback like Brady, but let's not forget Bill Belichick might be the best head coach in NFL history.
