Star was 5yr 50 mil. Which was in the ballpark of what Dareus had left on his contract. Dareus was traded because he wasn’t a McBeene type player. Ok, fine. Can you build a Super Bowl team with only McBeene type players, or at some point talent at least for a few mean more then the McBeene Way? No. Healthy scratch.

Then sign Star, his replacement and Vonte to those contracts?

They did have to draft one, they took the wrong one and gave up a bunch of capital they couldn’t afford or need to to get Allen. They could have had Watson, Mahomes or Rosen for no or much less draft capital. I hated the trade up for Allen, don’t think he will be a franchise QB in NFL. Hope I’m wrong. Bad teams can’t afford to give up draft picks, especially for Non QB. Who else in the league makes a Dareus for Teller trade? People who value having “their kind of guys” over sustained winning. Just my opinion. Not screaming mad.

They took 6 picks Rd 1-3 on a bad team that needed all of them and ended up with Allen, Edmunds and Harrison. They knew they were down Eric Wood and didn’t address OL. They traded Dareus for Teller, a 5th rd OL project. That doesn’t seem like a good trade, but I’m sure he is more of a McBeene “kind of guy” then Dareus. Ray Ray is an all ready hurt 7th rd thrown in as a bone to Bills as the gave up farm to get the 3 best QB in the Mountain West. Really? Ok.

You actually think they have been adept at drafting?

So there have not been enough moves, games and actions for me to have an opinion on their plan? If so, how many moves, games and actions must they complete for me to have ANY opinions on their plan? Speaking of hyperbolic, there is a 10 page thread on if you hate the Bills, why are you here. So opinions that don’t fall into proper Bills messaging and fandom make us not supporters. I think the hyperbolic statements come largely, not completely, from Bills blinder type fans.

Making playoffs last year while fun, maybe one of the worst things to happen to this franchise LONG term. The last years team was not a good team, got lucky to get in and created this sense that McBeene can do no wrong with a large segment of fan base.

I actually agree with this. Faith, family and football is their thing. Is it possible that they love Peterman so much because he is such an huge, outspoken evangelical Christian? Hot take, yes. Far fetched based on what they have said and done since taking over, I don’t think so. They want their “type” of guys on team, and clearly character and Christianity is a core belief of that.

Not sure it has begun. Its more that there are many people, including myself, who have never bought into this GM or Coach. I didnt like either hire, but seeing they really didn’t have a track record, waited to see what they do. We now have enough track record to have an opinion on how they are doing.

It will all be ok, remember Faith, Family, and Football. This must be gods plan for the team!

Maybe a better question is who really developed on teams that actually consistently win. EIGHT Patriot starters just on the Offense alone were drafted rounds 4-7 or signed FA.

Another great post. Spot on also.

One of best posts I’ve read. Spot on.

Which is a bigger joke "The Tape'" or "The Process?"

This is why as a union the NFLPA gets smoked by owners with every CBA. They need to remain quiet, let the union speak on the matter whether they like it or not. Owners and management love this talking by the players. Divide and conquer the players and win every CBA negotiations.

Sign Reinhart.

Or they could have not given up TWO 2nd round picks to get Allen. Could have given up 1 to get to 10, draft Josh Rosen. Then take Brian O’Neill out of Pitt at 56 for example. Rounds 1-3 of Rosen, Edmunds, O’Neill and Harrison sounds better to me then Allen, Edmunds and Harrison especially after trading Glenn. IMHO.

I like Schopp and agree with him most of the time. Guess I’m in the minority of listeners that post on this board.

Yes

Why does he even bother? I like him, but he never says anything. Every time he speaks I feel like he is just wasting everyone’s time. Just stop with interviews and press conferences, just continue being a good coach.

God not laying any money, he is more the bookie. He takes action from both sides of every game. Team wins, God gets all the credit, team loses it is just part of gods plan.

http://buffalonews.com/2017/11/24/inside-the-bills-team-chaplain-len-vanden-bos-blends-faith-and-football/ McDermott hired a full time team Chaplin just after he arrived. I think is may have been the 1st time in organization history, if I remember correctly.

I assume that whenever someone brings up the stat that had he only 1 more catch per game his % would be 60, that we can also say if he also had 1 more incompletion per game his % would be 52, right?

Stats will never be able to tell you everything about what a player can do. They can provide a lot of information, along with historical reference that paint a probability of success. And in the case of Josh Allen, it would take a spectacular outlier performance — one that hasn’t happened this decade — to live up to the expectations of a top-10 pick. Is is possible he could be the outlier from the past decade of data, YES. Do I hope he is the outlier, YES. Was Tom Brady an outlier, YES. But the overall data picture tells us historically his probilility of success is really small.

What does DNA for the Buffalo Bills mean. Why does he have it and Rosen doesn’t? Beane has said something to this effect and I really have no idea what either of you mean. BTW, I was born and raised in WNY.
