These draft experts are idiots. I'm pretty sure we didn't get any more draft picks, we just moved up further.

Brandon Beans should go stand in the middle of downtown Buffalo and let us Tar and Feather him for that dumbass decision.

KC about to take Worthy and have their next Hill. Do we not learn anything from 2017.

I wonder what the hit rate is on guys who cry when they are selected?

No, I will not. You shall be tarred and feathered in the public square at high-noon for such crimes.

Another Marino Bills target bites the dust. Wasn't expecting guys like Duvernay and Gaines to be early Day 1 signings.
I think that is a consequence of the cap going up so much.

I think you forget that he didn't get a single victory in the games he was asked to play last season
Okay? The Steelers didn't have nearly the weapons that we do. They also fired their offensive coordinator. I'm just saying that Trublisky has played some good football. I'd rather have someone who has at least proven enough to lead a team to the playoffs than some rookie we hope and pray about god forbid Josh ever gets hurt. My two cents.

Why don’t they just bring back Frank Reich. I hear he’s available.
seriously though, I hope the Bills draft a kid in the late rounds and try to develop a backup that can possibly be a legit starter if called upon.
I think people forget that Trubisky has some good upside and got to the playoffs with the Bears. I think he is a solid back-up that you can trust to come in and win you a couple of games if need be.
Plus, he is a good friend of Josh and can help Josh when it comes to the mental side of the game and breaking down opponents. That in itself would be worth its weight in gold.

They split the cap up into a void year. Last year he only counted $2 million or so on the cap. The rest was pushed into this season.
Ah.

Didn't he sign a one-year deal?

Generally I agree that Douglas was very good for us last year and I have been a proponent of extending him for cap relief this year. That being said I won't be upset with any 30+ year old player Beane decides to move on from this offseason. We have to force young players onto the field one way or another. We've pushed the youth rebuild off for far too long.
You don't let that kind of talent walk away. Especially after you traded for him last season. You stick with him, especially since he is way better than some of the other guys on our roster. It would be a downgrade to release him.

Just think, in that alternate universe, we could have watched GOAT KC QB Josh Allen hoisting the trophy with Kelce last night.
Not necessarily true. I shouldn't have suggested that we draft Mahomes but not trading the pick could definitely have changed things. Maybe another team trades and it's there misery.
Also, KC was decent with Smith. They more than likely wouldn't be in a position to pick Allen the next year.

You want Terry to fire his head coach because of a decision seven years ago that the owner ultimately signed off on?
Yes it was probably the worst trade in NFL history but it’s too late to fire someone over it.
I want Terry to fire the head coach because he isn't going to get us over the hump. This was just more pointing out a lot of our misery has to do with that one decision.
6 hours ago, BuffaloBillyG said:So, McD should be fired for trading the Mahomes pick even though Mahomes wouldn't have been as good in Buffalo as he is in KC.
I'm betting if that scenario played out your stance would be that McDermott should be fired because his handpicked QB in Mahomes wasn't progressing as quickly as that Josh Allen guy in Kansas City that keeps winning Super Bowls and he should have waited a year for the QB.
No, it wouldn't have been and McDermott would have been gone by now if Mahomes never developed.
-
Because if you score a TD on your first touch in OT you are guaranteed a third possession and a chance to win in sudden death.
-
This whole Chiefs dynasty falls on one man and one man only, in hindsight.
Sean McDermott
He is the one who traded the pick to KC that they used to take Mahomes because he "hadn't had time to study the QB class" even though his owner wanted Mahomes.
I literally felt like he should have been fired last night for making us all endure this. If Mahomes comes to Buffalo in 2017, he never turns into the QB he did.

It's pretty rare that I'm ever comfortable blaming a single player for a loss. If the Lions lose this one, it is 100% on Reynolds.
Two bigs drops. No doubt.

I was a person who said mid-season that the Bills should turn the page from McDermott.
I can't sit here and say that I 100% changed my mind on that, or that I'm fully confident McDermott should be the guy moving forward.
But I would be remiss not to mention this:
From the bye week onward, and really from the publishing of the first Ty Dunne article onward, I thought McDermott improved dramatically. He fired his offensive coordinator midseason and replace him with a guy who, by most accounts, was better equipped for the job. He did a deep dive on his own defense over the bye week and came back with more aggressiveness, disguise, and variety, and the unit improved dramatically. He started coaching with more aggressiveness in his gameday decision making, routinely going for it on 4th down on his own side of the field and early in games. He started being more aggressive in his end-of-game decision making and defensive play calling. In short, he improved on almost all of the areas about which myself and others had concerns about him.
On top of all of that, his players rallied around him and won five straight games to secure the two-seed, then won a playoff game and almost won another. I thought the way the players backed him up when the chips were down spoke volumes. Rallying to the two-seed after the way the season started also spoke volumes.
All of this is to say that McDermott has reached a point where I no longer watch him on game day and think "he has to go. He can't get the job done. It's time to move on". From about the bye week onward, his decision making and his coaching were impressive to me, as were the results on the field. Even in the Chiefs playoff game, it's hard to say with a straight face that McDermott was the reason we lost.
It's all a moot point anyway, because McDermott will be the coach in 2024. But I, for one, am no longer in the "he needs to be shown the door immediately" camp. With the way he improved the second half of the season and into the playoffs, and the way the players still seem to buy into his coaching and his culture, he has indisputably earned himself another season at the helm of the Buffalo Bills. If the Bills give up 30 and lose in the Divisional round again next season, we can re-visit the topic.There shouldn't be a revisit. It should be simply he is gone.

Agree on Shakir. Kinda reminding me of victor Cruz in his prime but better.
It sucks Diggs has such a big dead cap hit next year because i think at this point he is done. I would love to cut him or trade him but obviously the financial ramifications don’t allow for it. His hands just aren’t trustworthy and he isn’t elite anymore. He’s a middling number 1 WR.
What do we think happened? Why such a drastic drop-off in the middle of a season?
5 hours ago, Wraith said:Passing up the wide open Shakir for Diggs on a 2-yard drag route on 2nd and 9 would've been moronic. The mirror image of that route was almost intercepted earlier. This time, Diggs had two defenders squared up on him. 23 was shadowing him the entire route and 32 passes off Kincaid to 22 to pick up Diggs as he goes to the flat. At the time of the pass they're both tracking Diggs. We've seen how Diggs runs with the ball. There is no way Diggs is making it for a first down, if he even catches the ball.
Add in that Shakir is catching everything lately and Diggs is most certainly not and it was an easy decision. This is football, quarterbacks can't control every variable, good decisions don't always work out. The images below show the moment of the throw (left) and a moment later (right). The anticipation Allen showed on that throw was incredible. Chris Jones just beat Dion Dawkins.
I disagree. I think if he dumps its off to Diggs he is getting a 1st down, at worst, he is at least getting 5 or 6 yards and making it a manageable 3rd down. That changes the play call on 3rd down and allows us to maybe go for it on fourth down.

Yes McDermott made Bass 25% in the playoffs. Think about that 25% has a kicker ever had a worse playoffs?
And still it's McDermott...God people.
It has everything to do with the fact that he can't win big games. That he can't get us over the hump.

You can not settle for the field goal unless you are going to kick it as time expires. You just can't. Go for it no matter what.
