True, but there have been non-overhyped mediocre QB's that would've been worth trading away picks for during his tenure. Still not saying he sucked, he didn't, but we also can't ignore there were QB's there that would've been worth trading up for (or just having fall into our lap).

I really don't think any team wants him as their starting QB. There's a reason he took a pay cut last year to stay with the Bills, and it's because it was his best chance at being the guaranteed starter. And this season he's looked even worse, so it's unlikely his prospects suddenly improved.

Man, if Tyler Eifert could stay healthy... I'd take him in a heartbeat. Not that Clay is bad by any means, but Eifert is fantastic when he's actually on the field.

Not surprising who the "Home" teams are. All teams that will probably make more money in London than their actual home games.

Here's the thing... we've had ALL those other things you've mentioned besides #5 over the last 18 years, and look where that's gotten us. At times, we've had nearly all of it except #5. Maybe it's time we put #5 at #1 and go a different route for once.

Whoever they hire needs to have a big say in who the QB they go after is, whether it's in the draft or FA. Pair them with the proper QB coach & hopefully the sky's the limit.

I've been saying this for quite a while now, as I've seen plenty in the game plan that allows us to win. It's just execution that falls short. It's why I don't feel strongly about getting rid of Dennison, as too many plays are left on the field each game. It's not just 1 play here or there, it's a lot of them...seemingly on every drive. It's just frustrating to not know how good the offense COULD be if the correct plays on the field were made.

1. Patriots 2. Steelers 3. Giants 4. Dolphins 5. Jets Other likable teams? All underdogs as usual. That includes Jags, Titans, and Vikings in the playoffs. Could say Falcons, but I don't feel one way or another with them. During the regular season it'd be nice to see the Bengals, Browns, and Lions do well. But really no team comes close to the Bills in who I like/root for (although I do pull for the Redskins as my entire family are Skins fans).

We can only hope...but after 3+ years of saying it, I'll just believe it when I see it. That trixy hobbit always finds a way to be good for yet another year.

Exactly. This isn't even the best team the Bills have had over the drought, there's even articles written about it. We got very lucky in a number of ways to make it to the playoffs (many teams do), but that doesn't mean we'll automatically improve record-wise next year. Every team gets upgraded, every team goes through FA, every team goes through the draft, every team makes trades... Tyrod has regressed since his first game as a starter, and this season he's been below even his low standards. If we draft a new QB, I'm fine with getting a new OC even though I'm not really anti-Dennison. As long as we have a capable QB coach & have a good surrounding staff to develop him, I'll be happy. However, it's very likely our record dips a couple games with a rookie QB.

Definitely. I usually find the playoffs & match-ups more interesting than the actual Super Bowl.

I'm sure he would also rather be the undisputed #1 choice instead of the 4th choice too lol Yes, is 39 catches & 8 TD's worth 2 first round picks & paying someone top 5 WR money? He's not even a top 20 WR, so hell no. Or his place in the draft. We took Stevie Johnson in the 7th round, and he performed better for us than Sammy, who we spent two 1st rounders on

Really wish our home & away teams were flipped. Rather us play GB & MN at home, but oh well. Either way, schedule LOOKS better than going into this season. We had a lot of success against the NFC North the last go-around so looking forward to seeing what happens next season.

Not buying it until Dunkirk Don confirms with his source.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2018-nfl-mock-draft-josh-rosen-to-broncos-colts-grab-saquon-barkley/ #21 Mason Rudolph, QB, Oklahoma State. Rudolph checks the experience and production boxes Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane like, and they don't have to trade up to get him. He'll have to learn the footwork that's needed when taking snaps from under center, but he's a pocket quarterback first who refined his game in his last season in Stillwater. #22 Marcus Davenport, DE, UTSA. Davenport has all the tools to be a consistent havoc-wreaker off the edge, and Buffalo needs to bolster it's pass-rush. The University of Texas at San Antonio product isn't very raw, either. In college, he displayed a wide variety of counter moves to get to the quarterback, and he's a long, twitchy athlete. Ugh...I really hope this isn't the case. Not in the first round at least. Here's another one from a little earlier -. http://draftwire.usatoday.com/2017/12/13/2018-nfl-mock-draft-updated-4-round-projections-heading-into-week-15/3/ 21. Buffalo Bills | Mason Rudolph | QB | Oklahoma State Tyrod Taylor doesn’t look like the long-term answer for the Bills at quarterback, and the early returns aren’t promising on Nate Peterman. A bit of a reach this early, Rudolph is big, athletic and talented, but needs more polish and consistency. And another one - https://www.landof10.com/big-ten/nfl-mock-draft-2018-first-round-projections-top-players-2018-nfl-draft-order-january-10 And yet another - http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2752231-2018-nfl-mock-draft-top-prospects-and-1st-round-projections-before-playoffs (although they have us picking at 26?) I do like that a lot of them have us taking his buddy James Washington, but do we really need to spend a 1st rounder on a WR when we don't have a QB? I'd rather us take a linemen over a WR with either of our first 2 picks... I mean we have 2 former #1 WR's of other teams in Matthews & Benjamin, plus we spent a 2nd on James Har...I mean Zay Jones. Anyway, if there's one QB I hope we don't take in the 1st round it's Mason Rudolph, and all these mock drafts have me worried.

He won PFF's Rookie of the Year. https://twitter.com/PFF/status/949306248826105861/photo/1

It's the O-line! No, it's the OC! No...it's the HC! No...it's the receivers! No...it's the defense! No, it's the refs! Those are the REAL reasons we lost the games we did, not the QB.

Unless they changed the receivers to all be 7'6 and have a 5 foot vertical, he'd still over throw them far out of bounds on every attempt.

' Tyrod plays worse in the 4th quarter than Trent Edwards. He actually has LESS wins from behind and with more games under his belt...and far superior teams. But yes, Tyrod is better than Trent Edwards, but that's not saying much. Taylor is worse than Bortles...and has shown it for 3 straight years. He also leads either the worst, or one of the worst, passing offenses in the league ever since he's been starter...and he's regressed every season he's been here. Bortles actually has upside and can put a team on his shoulders when the time comes. They both have bad games from time to time, but Bortles has many more good games than Taylor, and definitely more great games. Also, Kornheiser and the rest of the "experts" haven't been watching Bills games all season. If they had, they would've recognized this far earlier. The Saints game alone would've made him pull the little hair he has remaining out of his skull.

I don't think Rudolph is going in the 1st round at all. He's a 2nd round pick at best, but I wouldn't be surprised if he slipped lower. People are high if they think Mayfield is anything like Manziel. They must forget how every week there was a new "controversy" or social media post of him doing something stupid before entering the league. He was a non-stop party machine, posted pics with celebrities throwing money around, and was constantly looking like he cared more about fame than football. Mayfield is actually dedicated to the game, and isn't obsessed with being some Hollywood cliche.

Sounds good to me. O-line is something I definitely don't mind us investing a lot of money into.

He was worse this year than last year, and last year he had to take a pay cut to stay. So, it'd be a huge shock if somehow he was kept.

With the way our run defense was, I'm not surprised at all. Combined with the inability to pressure the QB, the line earned their rankings.

So he didn't even make the list from this weekend? And Cam threw all over the place (like a lot of teams end up having to do against the Saints), so he had more opportunities to make plays than White. Again, not saying Lattimore isn't deserving, I'm just saying I don't see White as far beneath him.

Fair point, but on the opposite end I could argue Lattimore was in a better situation for stats as the Saints were putting the hurt on people and forcing opponents to pass to play catch up. The Bills let people run on over them, and never really put anyone away to where they'd have to ditch the run game and focus solely on passing. Lattimore got more picks just by virtue of teams having to play catchup all the time. Buffalo was ranked 29th in rush defense, so opponents never had to throw much against us, while the Saints were ranked 16th. Not sure how much of a factor any of that is, and I acknowledge Lattimore is good (and deserving), but I think considering the circumstances White had working against him proved he's equally as capable.
