What is going on there? A surprising amount of NFL coaches cannot manage the clock. Yet a college student can make a hierarchy of when to call a timeout at exact moments of a game to save the most clock. Him failing to call a TO with less than 40 seconds to go after a run was crazy.
Bills need to hire a time management guy to call timeouts at the end of a game
4-2
Literally nothing else matters.

MD will see your 2 state arrest and raise you Delaware.

That game still seems surreal...
The board doesn't sound far off from our own - QB haters, A?22, Fire coach(es), Are expectations too high?, Fitz curse, who is going to be Sapp / our past superstar at that position.
There's even a "Hire Jim Schwartz for HC" thread on page 3..

Everytime I think of old Bills/Bucks games I remember Robb Riddick diving out of the end zone when we were backed up. Man I liked Riddick.

Can he play WR?
He can line up in the backfield freeing McCoy to split out wide more often. With McCoys speed it may even help keep safeties out of the box for Hyde to have running room.
So, indirectly...he would possibly help the WR position.
-
So sad that people actually bring up the idea of trading for a RB
We got Shady from a trade. I'd say why not. Hyde for a player we want to dispose of (looking at you Cordy). Maybe we even get a pick back as well.
Not so sure McCoy is back next year and they could resign Hyde to be the feature back. Could do much much worse.

They put on a good front saying they are "trying to wn now AND trying to win for the future" but is that REALLY accurate? I don't think it is...
Look at what has happened in the week+ since Matthews and Clay have gone down for significant lengths of time basically turning our "average" offense with them into a disaster without them. 5 straight games with under 300 yards of total offense...we might set an NFL modern day record for that as I don't see how we get above that anytime soon without those players and people stacking the box.
And yet McBeane has been silent on the waiver wire/FA/trade front. This team has the chance to make the playoffs THIS YEAR but yet they will do nothing to bolster our chances. And I find that to be maddening. It's one thing if the team wasn't that good and you just let things go...it's another thing entirely when you have wins over 2 top 5 teams in the league and the defense is good enough if the offense can just literally DO ANYTHING productive. I think he owes it to those guys busting their @sses on the field AND to the fanbase who is tired of this bullcrap over the last 17 years to actually DO SOMETHING to try and help this team now.
I am not talking about trading a high pick for a guy necessarily, but if there is the opportunity to get a guy AND he fits in the budget/long term plans of the team WHY NOT do it? You don't HAVE TO only get players through the draft...there is the opportunity to make moves that can help the team both now and in the future that don't involve simply drafting well.
It's just so frustrating to see McBeane "fiddling" while the offense burns around us and nothing is done to try and fix it...another wasted season when the team was good enough to make the playoffs with a little help...so frustrating...I know the plan is to start in earnest next year with all the draft capital and likely new QB of the future, but still...
They aren't coming out and saying it, but you can hear it when McDermott talks about the "silver lining" being that a bunch of rookies got in there...they know they are hoping to keep losing players and be forced to play untested rookies/backups and then they have the excuse "well, we had a lot of injuries and don't have the depth yet to overcome them", but if they would just go find the depth, we COULD overcome them...but they don't want them to...kind of like in Major Leagues when the owner was secretly rooting for the team to lose so he could move them...the McBrothers are secretly hoping for the injury bug to keep hitting so they can keep slipping further and further down the standings while having nothing come back on them that we were actively "tanking" while having to play a bunch of untested depth players on the roster.
Seems like I have read this... SOMEWHERE before.

Not talking about his draft spot. Overrated as in people actually thinking he was a true #1 receiver when in actuality he wouldn't have started for the majority of teams. The fact that he was better than what else we had and took on a way bigger role than he ever should have. And no, not better because he was amazing...better because...I mean Donald Jones.He was a 7th round pick , overrated ? I don't know what kind of shape he's in , but I do know that we ain't got s¥it for WR's , anything better then what we have should be welcomed
Yea, he played well against some darn good corners from time to time. Also dropped a ton of catchable balls, disappeared for huge chunks of games and never really made a difference when it mattered most.
But no, an oft injured, overhyped, self serving poor route runner is exactly what this team needs.
While we are at it I hear Frank Lewis and Jerry Butler are free...and they used to be Bills too. Maybe they should be signed? Wonder what Ahmad Rashad is up to these days...
Bring in T.J. Graham!
Bring in Lonnie Johnson!
Yeah, OK...
Butler and Lewis or I riot!

Heres your stats:
Tyrod is 6ft ( not 6ft 1 inch as he claims)
Our O linemen are:
Seantrel 6ft 7
Cordy 6ft 6
Dawkins 6ft 6
Wood 6ft 4
Ducasse 6ft 6
So Tyrods Height to O Line Ratio is -4 inches on average.
Look at the winning teams this year and over the last five years. The standard QB to o-line ratio is -1 to zero. (The higher the QB height to oline ratio the better).
That being said, our oline is wayyyy too tall for our QB.
Whats the answer? Draft and acquire shorter and squattier olineman. Ideally we need olineman 5ft8inches to 5ft10inches at 320-330 pounds.
Heres why:
1) Shorter O Lineman, then Tyrod can see better. Same with TEs. Shorter the better.
2) Before anyone says shorter guys arent able to manage an o line, think of this: back in 1976, the Dolphins had a shorter oline and dominated.
3) You ever hear the expression low man wins???? Well, lets put our money where our mouth is and get a head start. Low man (shorter man) is already 40% of the way there...and if the lower/shorter/squattier man wins, I see no downside.
So Im pretty sure the shorter the olineman, the better. Flame away if you want but the stats speak for themselves.
If I remember, that kid that played Webster put on about 200lbs. Maybe he could play RG?
-
It's just the Bye week and you guys are carrying on as thought it's pre-season! At least focus on someone who is actually worth a look.
And who is that? The FA WR cabinet is pretty much bare. TE? Barnridge? Gotta be a reason he's still out there with as many TE needy teams. He visited the Texans when they were basically starting the popcorn vendor and came away without a contract.
-
Did someone call?
No Ghost of Jamie Mueller!! Now back to haunting Bryan Cox!!
-
I think you're thinking of Mojo Nixon.
Could it be Mojo Rawley? Or Mojo JoJo? Or Mr. Mojo Risin?
-
...at times?...he waits all the time..it was blatantly evident in the Cinncy game. Good to great qbs have the ability to throw a man open. This requires trust in yourself. Tyrod does not have this quality. And he never will. Enjoy this last 2/3 of the season because TT will be gone along with Dareus, Glenn and probably Kyle retiring.
Going to be a lot more gone than them as well. With his age and increase of penalties I wouldn't be shocked if Cogs is gone this off-season as well. McCoy is likely done here too imo. Going to be a lot of fresh faces next season as well for sure.
-
Ya, you folks are right. Let's stick with the budding all-pros on the roster right now.
It's more about the dire situation at receiver right now than it is about Stevie dropping a pass against the Steelers years ago. If you think that these practice squad jobbers are all better than Stevie, then fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, I suppose. I just think he'd be an upgrade who'd come cheap and would mesh well with Taylor's style.
Honestly the Steelers drop isn't even a factor. He's a guy that at this point in his career doesn't have an ounce of upside. This would likely be the reason that the Bills and, you know 31 other NFL teams haven't brought him in.
Stevie 7 years ago? I would agree would be better than what we have. Stevie now? No thank you.
Look around the league. The Browns WR depth...look at what happened to the Giants this weekend at WR. Yet no team is even reportedly bringing him in for a tryout. Age and injury catches up.
-
So then why would someone start a thread about a guy the whole rest of the league has had no interest for 2 years???
Bills fans doing Bills fan things, man
-
No thanks. He was overrated when he was here. Now he's just older. More broken down.
-
What are we getting in return?
Tickets to Wicked on Broadway, a $25 Home Depot gift card (With $16.73 left on it) and SEVEN air filters for a John Deere lawn tractor.

Comparing The Process McD to Evil Rex the first 5 games of the season last year
Record 2016 - 3-2
Record 2017 - 3-2
Win streak 2016 Last 3 games - Wins against Cardinals 1-1, Patriots 3-0 & Rams 3-1
Win steak 2017 Last 3 games - Wins against Atlanta 3-0, Denver 2-0 & loss to 1-3 Bengals
And no, I was never a fan of Rex.
McD, Coach of the Year candidate?
Big difference is also in the team they took over. Rex didn't have to clean up after Rex Ryan and Doug Whaley.
-
Sure.
so 8-8 leaving the bills to have to trade all the picks they acquired to move up to draft a QB, just swell.
They are middling, which is the absolute worst thing you can do as an organization.
You don't know that they will have to trade up. Neither do I so let's see where it goes.
Maybe we have to trade...but at least we have the resources to do so. Maybe one of the QBs falls in our lap. Maybe we back up a Brinks truck and sign Cousins. Lots of possibilities.
But I have faith that this team is going in a good direction. Think back to the off-season and fans bashing Buffalo for the way they rebuilt the secondary. Through 5 games they might be our best unit. Maybe...just maybe these guys know what they are doing...
-
Ill be the first to admit... didnt expect KC to be this good.
Sitting are 5-0, one would assume that they will be in the playoffs again, perhaps with a first round Bye.
So STRICTLY LOOKING AT PICKS (do not factor in White)... was it a good trade?
Bills trade 10th overall pick for:
2017 27th overall pick
2017 3rd round pick
2018 (ESTIMATED) 25th-32nd overall pick
Yes. Still has the potential to be a great trade. The picks themselves are a moot point. It's what you do with the picks that counts.
As of right now, the results of the trade are KC took the QB and we have Tre White. White obviously has been the more productive of the 2 so far. Now what makes or breaks the trade is that extra number 1. Do we use it to move up for a QB? Does a QB drop in our lap? Do we sign a FA QB and use it on a oline or WR? Still a long way to go to debate this trade.
-
My gosh people, we are 3-2 headed into the bye week.
Outside of the KC Chiefs, the AFC is wide open.
Steelers lost, Texans lost, Raiders lost...
These next 2 games are very winnable.
Do NOT bench TT, do NOT go trade for a WR, and for crying out loud trust the process.
We are 5 games into a new era...FIVE!
This is the best coached team I've seen in a very long time. We have 6 picks in the top 90. Beane is building a consistent winner here long term..take that to the bank.
This is a playoff team. Book it.
Don't panic. Enjoy the bye week. Rest up, get healthy, and we're on to Tampa.
My Monday morning thoughts...
Exactly.
We have been told year in and year out that this team is close and only a few changes are needed. This hasn't been the case.
So year 1 the process is to rebuild the defense. Why? Because a good defense keeps you competitive...keeps you in games. So far we have lost 2 games. Both on the road. Both where we had the ball with a chance to win and couldn't get it done.
Year 2 will obviously be committed to improving the offense. I strongly believe there will be a huge turnover on that side of the ball. Wouldn't shock me if we have 3 or 4 new starters on online. New WRs, new TE, and yes, a new RB in addition to a new QB.
I like what they have done with the defense. No one thought our secondary would be any good...but it's become the core of a very strong defense and will keep getting better. I get the whole "it's been 17 years...." blah blah blah but let's build an actual contender and not a team that can make the playoffs once then start on the new streak of playoff misses.
-
If ya gotta ask...you aren't as hardened as you think...Does this annoy anyone but me?
They have all the friendly nicknames of all the teams and when they show Bills vs Jets they say "Them or Them?"
Is that a total diss at our pathetic franchises, or am I being far too sensitive for a hardened 30 year fan?
-
Who's Peterman going to throw to? Richie Incognito?
This team is one WR injury away from running all-tackle-eligible-jumbo-running-packages, all the time.
But at least we aren't the Giants...Sheesh they are the true WR walking wounded right there 😂😂😂
-
At the end of the day Taylor simply isn't a fit for this offense and what Dennison/McD are trying to do.
They have been fortunate to win with smoke and mirrors so far and I certainly don't blame Taylor for the injuries that are piling up right on cue this time of year in Buffalo, but at the end of the day you have to give your offensive skill players a chance and Taylor doesn't do that.
The book is out on this offense and the days of seeing McCoy and the running game go for 150+ a week are long over and not coming back until we can prove we can get the ball downfield and find guys in the middle open.
And once again Taylor proved he can't lead a 4th quarter comeback and turned the ball over the first chance he's actually taken in weeks. It's time for a change and both fans and the Bills organization is kidding themselves if they believe otherwise.
I do not like Tyrod as a player. I think he is severely limited in his passing ability, doesn't settle in the pocket and is way too tentative in throwing the ball.
That said, he is the best option we have on the roster right now. Peterman, a rookie who looked "ok" against 2nd team, 3rd team and fodder players in the preseason is not going to fare well.Some want to say...well Dak did it...but really it's no true comparison. Dak DOMINATED those low roster players whereas Peterman just looked "ok".
If we had a back up that had some experience I would fully endorse a switch. But putting a green rookie behind that line, with those receivers, with the running game getting stuffed and the play calling being iffy at best is a quick way to not win again this year.
