the best HS team in the country would get destroyed by the worst D1 school. This is no different.
Just like these guys saying Bama would beat the Bills is nonsense, that is about one of the stupidest things I have ever read.
Even the best HS football team maybe only has 5 or 6 guys that would go D1, a couple that would go D2, and a couple that would go D3.
Even the worst D1 schools have kids that were the best at their respective school. Larger roster, more talented, and just physically and mentally more fit to play the game.

there are only a handful of teams that suck every year....why , excluding last year, are we always one of them?
Up until this year, we had been mediocre since Marrone was our coach.

This better not be what they intended. Nowadays, NFL teams do not need to bottom out to rebuild. The team had some decent pieces in place but those have mostly been jettisoned in favor of former Panthers and other assorted trash. At some point, one has to question if they know what they are doing. So far, there’s not much evidence that they do.
Watkins wasn't going to resign. Marcelle contract was horrible for the production he was providing.
Glenn can't stay healthy and Darby wasn't a scheme fit.
Please tell me how those were bad moves?
You guys are living too much in the present. They have made moves to secure a good future. Is all going to hinge on drafting.

No, Beane has been here for one draft. the results of that draft are a couple years out.
But, Beane has had some of the most bizarre FA signings in the franchises history.Example
his piss poor trades and subsequent cuts have
eaten up a tad over 4 million in THIS years cap in just the past few weeks.
Someone actually remarked. Well I don't think the Bills were going to use that money anyways.
Really? If well spent that money could have improved this pitiful roster this season a little bit.
The JAG DT from Carolina sucks, and it's understod that 10 M per year is kind of
average for a decent DT. Star is below average. And that may not change. But, sitting pretty with Beane giving him 30 M guaranteed.
And now Beane will have 80 million next year. Is this rookie GM capable of rebuilding a
completely gutted roster? The team regressing was kind of expected. Doubtful anyone thought it would be this putrid.
Why is Star bad? I have yet to see someone actually show me facts other than sacks, which isn't a measurable stat for DTs.

how so? from what's been reported during his tenure in Buffalo, his personality may have had more to do with him having to accept an OC role.
McD has "his QB" and look at the results. the team (all around) has regressed and him and the GM are now two seasons in, choosing their players
McD has a rookie he thinks can be his QB. The team hasn't regressed, it was broken down to the studs and they'll have the next two seasons to turn it around.

Have to wonder how safe they are after today.
That said it would take a new coach and GM 5 years to assemble enough talent to be competitive.
Right now this team is soooooo devoid of talent and soooooo pathetic TPegs needs to question these 2 WTF they are doing, because right now the plan or "process" isn't working.
Actually it's working just like they intended. It all hinges on Allen being a franchise QB.

At least we have Ryan Lewis on the practice squad.

NFL will never admit it, but the call on Matthews was complete and utter BS, that negated an INT to end the game and gave the Vikings second life.

Steratore just explained it boys. Murphy did not establish posession, so the kick continues. Taiwan Jones doesn't know that the refs ruled that, so he tried to get the ball out the end zone. He had no idea the refs were going to rule touchback. Lighten up on TJ, he balled out there.
Nice drop Andre Holmes.
If TJ doesn't pick it up and the Chargers recover that's a TD because we already touchedit,. It was a touchback because as soon as Jones helmet came off the play is dead.

Despite his speed and athleticism
It's the mental component of his game, which was said to be his weak spot prior to the draft.
He is only 20. He can get better in that aspect.

5 Bills players around the lose ball and the 1 Charger player gets it, lol.
The Charges didn't recover that. The refs completely blew that.

Anyone else worried about Edmunds?
No. We have to stop with this our rookies need to be all world narrative. Just need to see growth.

People just think your trash as a D-lineman unless you consistently get double digit sacks every year.

It was a weird press conference, for certain.
A few thoughts.
First, McDermott prides himself on the culture he is building, first and foremost. That starts with the owners, GM and him to the players, trainers and probably even the custodians in the building. He is trying to take the B.B. approach. He wants to build the team's culture, he wants that in place because once it is, it makes a lot of other things easy.
On that note, I bet he isn't happy about the leak. Someone went against the culture, so I'm sure he was pissed off about that before he entered the room.
Secondly, it seemed that the reporters were attacking him, attacking his credibility, and questioning his decision making. That put him on the defensive, so he was already in a bad mood and now he is on the defensive. Plus, the ask the same question eight times, which he answered the same way each time and was getting more annoyed each time the question was asked. All those equal up to a not so pleasant press conference.
One more note to make. I think NP was McDermott's guy. When he looks at the kind of player he wants in his locker room, its NP. He wanted NP to succeed so badly, not because he wanted to look correct last year, but just because he truly likes the guy and sees him as someone who he can build the roster around, in terms of the culture. McDermott never thought NP was the long-term solution but wanted him to be serviceable this year so that Allen could sit and learn. Obviously, NP being atrocious doesn't allow that to happen, so now he has to turn to his rookie. I think he has all the faith in the world in Allen, he just wanted Allen to have time to learn and grow before taking his lumps.
-
He could be pissed because there was a leak of Allen being the starting QB.
-
Being here this year is going to be mentally taxing, with the reaction we had after one-quarter of the first football game.

Everyone keeps saying we have all this money next year but have you seen the FA WR crop? It's very weak we were better off signing a guy this past offseason and going that route. Randall Cobb and Golden Tate are basically it and I would bet they resign with their current teams before hitting the market. Just because you clean the deck and gain space does not promise improvements on the renovation.
You guys act like this is going to be turned around with just a bunch of free agent signings and draft next year. It won't. In fact, I see us signing a bunch of 1-year deals next year with veteran guys who bounce around because you have to spend so much of your cap. What the dead money being gone does, is allows you to go out and get a high priced free agent if one becomes available, whether that's next year or the following year.

Groy has been disappointing. I was seeing him being pushed back in preseason and now in week 1. I’m not an OLine guru but he was making it look obvious he was overmatched.
In the Bengals game, when they moved Groy to right guard and brought in Bodine, we actually had good pass protection for a couple plays. They went away from it after that series in the second quarter. I think the Bills should look at that again. Groy might be more suited to a guard style of play where always he has to worry about is the player he is blocking, not hiking the ball and then locating his target.

This is true, but I think Cover1’s point is that when he comes to the line, Nate should be able to assess the pattern and diagnose that single high safety/2 LB set means the seam will be open, and he should expect to find Kerley (#10) there open. Kerley is raising his hand yelling “pick me pick me” at the point where the pocket collapses, but he appears to have finished his route at that point and presumably a throw with anticipation would have gotten to him moments earlier, before the pocket collapsed.
The point is that finding Clay (who was in the slot) was not what the D was givin him.
It's what the good QBs do. The good WB knows he has a single high safety, so he starts his read to the left to draw the safety and the immediately goes to the seam route.

I don’t know how anyone could have watched the Bills game and the Bears game and thought it would have been a good idea for the Bills to give up their next two first round picks for Mack, no matter how good he his.
Well, there were people who were crushing me earlier in this thread.
-
Look at that. Even with the great game from Mack the Bears weren’t victorious.

Not borderline at all. Late and hit to the head. A legit call.
He went high on the back. But he didn't actually hit him in the head. He took one step after the throw. To me, that was borderline.

No that wasn't. It was borderline roughing the passer.

I don't think you can give it to either one of those egomaniacs. I don't see either one listening to the other if one becomes the interim head coach.
