    Vrabel wasn’t able to do much with a top 5 RB of all time, AJ Brown, and a very good defense. Tannehill was also playing the best football of his career. I’m not sold on him like the rest of the media/fans. He’s 2-3 in the playoffs. 56-48 all time (which is not impressive to me w/ the talent he had and that weak ass division.)
     

    The Patriots don’t have near the talent that his Titans squads had and they definitely didn’t have to compete w/ a team like the Bills. The Fins will give them a lot of trouble as well. Realistically, he’s going need 2 full seasons to turn that mess around. 
     

    New England does have some nice pieces and a very solid prospect in Maye. Vrabel isn’t a BAD coach, but I don’t think he’s innovative enough to mask the deficiencies on that roster at this time. 

     

    Yes, because of his coach. They got the 1 seed with Ryan Tannehil at QB dude lol 

     

    56-48 is a LOT better than a LOT of coaches. Go look where that team was before he went there. We also don't have a strong division dude LOL. It's us and everyone else.

    That is a blanket statement that doesn't take into account QB pay/cap hit.

     

    I'm not saying not to help Josh and get more WR. We should.

     

    But he actually seems to be right in line with the other QB's "help score" who also received a major pay day. There's nobody with a bigger "help score" who makes more money than Allen.

     

    I'll be put a little bit of an asterix on Hurts because his cap hit hasn't begun to come due.

     

    I have to question a "help score" that has Chase and Higgins as a negative. Lolz.

     

    But if you want to trust it, Allen seems to have as much help as Tua does and they have Waddell, Hill, and Achane.

     

    That's because only 1 or 2 QBs make more than him.  If you're referring to last year, 

     

    Love , Lawrence, Goff, Lamar, Hurts, Herbert and Watson all made more than him on that list that had more help.. 


    What are you referring to?

    Michigan is playing Arlington right now. Take a look at the Michigan QB Bryce Perkins (#3) and tell me what you'd think of him a  Bills backup?

    I remember watching him play at Virginia. Always liked his play. Getting Viriginia to 8 and 9 wins says something in and of itself. Wouldn't hate him for a camp arm. He is a similar "style" play to Josh. Big boy, rocket arm, and insane competitor.

    No different than why they bring any min vet in after the draft competition.  A lot of potential in the room without a lot of production. 

    Wait. So do you want him or not? I mean, your original post reads kind of as if you do, but also that you don't? 

     

    Now this post states you do? I'm now confused. 

     

    And you don't bring people in that have consistent miscommunication with your QB after 4 years of playing with said QB

    I'm pretty sure the OP's point is that as soon as Davis became available, many Bills fans started saying we are all set at WR, don't need him, etc..  Hence he immediately "made the wide receiver room better". 

    Got it. I had to re-read it. Oddly worded but I understand now.

    The answer is Gabe Davis.  Signing him doesn't greatly impact the Wr room.  Since his release however, Bills fans are now almost unanimous that the Wr room is full.  A wr who averages 600 yards and 6 Tds has no shot of making the roster.  Im glad Buffalo has finally put a complete room around Allen.  Good thing they didn't draft a wr early because they would not have made the team.  

    70% of Josh Allen's career interceptions come from targeting Gabe Davis. We lost 2 games in his final year here because he ran wrong routes/ wasn't on the same page as Josh. 

     

    Why exactly do you want him?

    What are the Bengals doing? Shemar Stewart in the first, who has never produced. They then drafted two guards, two linebackers and a running back with their five remaining selections. Just terrible value everywhere.

    Has to be the worst off season this year... Saints may be a close second but after those 2... maybe Miami? Miami is going to be realllly bad this year, I think.

    They're trusting a lot of Kincaid and Coleman's regression being simply down to injuries. If they're right, then we could well be celebrating a Super Bowl win in February. If they're wrong, then it will probably be the same result of more angst over the off season over what could have been and what should have been done differently.

     

    And if the offense has issues this year through natural regression, such as the number of turnovers increasing towards the mean, Josh perhaps being world class instead of otherworldly and some of Cook's plays being worked out on defense, then something different may be required. And quite a few people will be sadly saying "I told you so".

     

    There is time left to bring a WR in. And I think most people liked the draft picks over the past few days - even if some aren't fans of the players themselves, they're fine with the thought process. From there, could they have got Royals or another WR in round four? I guess that's what every thread is boiling down to. Him or Walker.

    I added to my quote while you quoted me. 

     

    There will ALWAYS be people that say I told you so. Ok, let me ask you this: Who did you want us to bring in as WR and why? 


    Speed? We just signed Palmer. Speed at the WR position won't help us much as we face sooo much zone. 

     

    Do you genuinely think there is someone on the market right now that makes us a better offense? THE ONLY answer is Pickens right now. Do you want him?

    I've been trying to think of a way to phrase my concern and "why do they keep banking on improvement on offense but replacement on defense?" is just perfect.

    Uhhhh because we saw a decline in production on defense and an uptick in production on offense with a younger core? 

     

    Do you not realize most of the guys we replaced on defense were in their 30's and tail end of their careers? Is this a legitimate thought you had that was "perfect?" 

     

    We scored the most points in our franchise history and the first team to score 30 points in 8 straight games in a regular season.... MAYBE just MAYBE that's why they bank on improvement? Because they're younger and are actually improving? Did you see Cook and Shakirs numbers YOY and think "Hmmm, did they improve?" 

     

    An actual legitimate thought you need to have that would be "perfect" is:

     

    "We have a team with an MVP QB who is the best in the world at his position and we just put up the most points in the regular season in the NFL. We upgraded at WR and have our whole OL back. Joe Brady will be in his second full year calling plays and the improvement we saw from his interim year to last year was absolutely impressive.  Why am I questioning what's going on with our offense?"

    I think everyone is discounting that Cook very well may hold out to start the year. We need another option. We have zero weapons on offense outside of Cook. We can't keep putting it all on Allen's shoulders, it's so hard to win a Super Bowl that way, everything has to go perfect. So frustrated with Beane's approach to the RB and WR room. Literally nobody scares you.

    Cook benefitted from a fantastic o-line and some of Josh Allen's best football. Couple that with a new scheme, it went well for all running backs involved. Davis avg 3.9, Johnson avg 5.2, Cook 4.9. 

     

    We have plenty of weapons outside of Cook, the only one that matters wears number 17. 

     

    Want to pay Cook? Ok get ready to lose some linemen... guess who that affects?

    Maybe. I think he’s super talented but he struggled to keep it together for a national championship team at Georgia. He may just be crazy. 

    And that is 100% a possibility. If he wants to win, he'll change. He also literally JUST turned 24 man.

    This franchise has a great thing, a truly great thing going, and they would bring a complete a-hole like him in? 

     

     If you're are going to bring that cancer in, While you're at it, just bust Aaron Hernandez out of the pen and get rid of Kincaid. 

     

     Insanity.  

    Well, he's dead. 

     

    Also, Pickens is 24 and has never played with a good QB and his coach never killed his attitude. It would be a gamble for sure but upside is WILD.

    We gave up a 3rd for an old washed up Amari Cooper…not sure a 4th will cut it.

    Mid-season. It makes a lot of sense. It was a desperation type move and you have to overpay there. 

     

    If Steelers are desperate for draft picks and Tomlin is over him, then yeah 4th may do it. 

     

    This guy has played with ZERO good QBs and has put up great numbers. I would take him in a heartbeat. I think our culture/Josh would mellow him out.

    I agree; they are probably going to sit there like Will Levis, but the Giants are rumored to want to trade back into the late first to take Milroe to have someone to pair with Hunter, with the Bills being a prime target to trade with.

    This would be the worst fail of any regime, ever. Trading into the first round to get Milroe is on the spot fireable.

    I believe three people transcend their sport; they are more than the "Goats"; they are cultural icons:

    • Wayne Gretzky
    • Michael Jordon
    • Babe Ruth

    People from all walks of life know these three. Their participation elevated their sport. There are innumerable great athletes with phenomenal accomplishments, but the people above were known far beyond the court/field.

     

    Who else might you nominate for this Transendence category? Brady, Tiger Woods, Richars Petty, Michael Phelps, ? ? ?

    You missed Hulk Hogan man. 

     

    But 100000% Tiger Woods needs to be on that list. He single handedly grew the sport. Shoot even today if he plays, ratings are higher than any other event. He got a TON of kids into golf (same way Gretzky got kids into hockey). He was an athlete, a competitor, etc and absolutely changed the game and landscape of golf. He is also a global and cultural icon (before his infidelity scandal, obviously).

    nice record, but Gretzky has no peer, and its not even close

     

    I live in the DC area, and Ovi scored a ton by burying a bunch of one timers from the top of the circle on the power play.. like hundreds of goals this way.. a little like Cook scoring a pile of TDs from inside the 10, makes the total TD count kind of misleading

     

    The Great One is hundreds of points ahead of anyone else.. total team player.   multiple Stanley Cups , etc etc.  

     

    Ovi is kind of like a Randy Moss or Jerry Rice, amazing ability to score a ton but ....  

    This might be the craziest most lunatic take I've ever seen (next to Cowherd saying Ben Simmons is coming to replace LeBron)

     

    It wasn't like he was scoring on open nets? Do one timers effectively make scoring a goal harder? Literally EVERY SINGLE player in the NHL hit's one timers, why don't they all have close to this many goals? 

     

    Also , Cook scoring from inside the 10? You mean like literally every other RB in the league? The avg TD from an RB in the NFL is like 8 yards. 

     

    Cool he has 100's of powerplay goals.... what about the other 500? This post is absolutely mind numbing.

  16. With the 85th selection, The Denver Broncos select BJ Adams DB- UCF

     

    Pairing another 6'2 Corner with Surtain to go along with Grant in the first round can make this defense an absolute nightmare. Adams plays very well press coverage, has prototypical frame and solid footwork. His main concern is his ability or desire to tackle but getting into this physically tough defense, I think we could see his mentality change. This defense is building itself to stop the juggernauts. 

     

    The Chargers and @LEBills are on the clock

    Definitely the pats

     

    They can get either Carter or Hunter at 3 and will still have 8 picks left.

     

    Vrabel is the no nonsense coach they need.

     

    I think the gap between 1 and 2 has drastically shrunk

    The gap between the Bills and AFCE competition has shrunk but not drastically. 

     

    Vrabel is a much better coach that Mayo but that roster is still pretty void of talent. They spent in FA and they have before. 

     

    The Bills will still be 5-6 wins ahead of the next closest in AFCE. After this year? Yeah probably a different discussion.

    Patriots.   I think their defense will be good enough to split with the Dolphins.  I could see Maye taking a step forward

    I think McDaniel is fired halfway through the year. 

     

    They just haven't done enough this off season and I think they've gotten significantly worse.

    Vrabel will get the Pats to 10 wins

    I'd guess 7-9 this year is realistic and a huge win.
