Some of you guys sound like drunken fools at a casino or strip club. Let us hold your keys and money before you go and lose everything.

In the last 20 years, the Patriots have had exactly 2 seasons at or below 0.500. Tell me you wouldn't take that and I'll tell you that you're a liar.
Sure I would. I did not say that losing was the only path to winning - it's one proven path and one we really have not explored in the past 15 years.

Then go ahead and hope we lose. Most everyone else is looking forward to an exciting draft and another playoff berth.
We were talking about last year. We all see what you did there!

Name three ... and the Colts getting Luck doesn't count ... they were a play-off team before Manning got hurt.
The colts count - 0-16 after manning broke his neck and then moved on.
I am NOT the sports statistician type! At a quick glance if one counts 4 wins as a lousy year and then building up within a three or so years to championship game else SB appearance.
Atl: 2013 --> 2016
Phil 2012 --->2017
Seattle 2008 --> 2013
Jax : 2012/13/14/15/16 --> 2017. :o)
Seems going low is an effective plan - and looking at the bills perenial mediocrity 50-50 is not.

Flacco was a game manager and back when they had a number 1 defense it worked. Put that same defense on the 2017 bills with shady and tyrod and see a crazy high turnover differential the bills could be SB contenders. . .and That was when flacco was much younger.
No, I say NO! Do not start the possibility of such a bad idea!

Right! I was thinking "why? Ya wanna go camping?" Would make a good reply.

I never said the Bills were winners. I said I prefer winning over losing
agreed but we have been going no place by doing neither - and one cannot just decide to start winning and so that leaves losing and building as the logical choice. 2017 was a great year to have tried that. Yes, the sabers and the browns - but also many examples of it working. .500 is a curse.

the front 7 are horrendous. Bortles averaged 8.8 yards per rush
Agreed. Going all in on a rookie QB behind that is. . .sadistic. N8 peterman's first half shoulda been a ton of sacks cept he panicked. Did TT pay those guys to leave the kid hanging or were they just that bad that day?

Losing is so much fun. I'm really enjoying the Sabres right now. Why do Buffalo fans prefer losing to winning?
When was a this winning? I musta missed it along the way.

Shoulda tanked - a streak is just silly numbers in the end. 17, 18, 19 - is there really a difference at that point? We would be having much brighter discussions about this draft (and less bickering) if 21 was instead 04.
Looking at it another way, most all here agree that playing for .500 for 20 years is not a smart idea - it's why we had that streak BUT yet almost all here wanted and celebrated an essentially .500 year yet again just for reasons of internal stress or depression or voodoo. . .I don't get it. I am a very analytical sort though and not much for emotions when the logic seems clear - I expect to get crap for this post and that's fine. Ha

Come to think of it Tyrod Taylor is the Perfect Personification of who the Buffalo Bills have been. He is careful, he doesn't take chances, and he will never be a champion.
Hold on a minute. Sammy Watkins was a chance and it failed. I say nevermind on gambling for a magic bullet one shot or bust pick and spread it out. Buffalo (us) loves the idea of a magic bullet saving the day but it's not our luck. Think bass pro moving into downtown and saving the city! Wth was that thinking?? Now we are spreading out and developing here and there and doing much better for it. Let the team learn from it's city. Wake up bflo! Ha

Obviously his arm stands out, as does his completion percentage (for the wrong reasons) but he really had no one decent to throw to plus the guys he had thrown to dropped a lot of passes. He does bail on clean pockets a little too much from what I've seen.
You just described the 2017 Bills right there.
-
I don't watch college but from what I've read Allen reminds me of what we already have. Tyrod has an effortless deep throw but lacks accuracy in the short and mid range and someone to throw it long to without Watkins on the field and healthy. Let other teams come to the siren's song of the 90yd throw and not us please.
OL and WR teams do factor in for QB completion percentage but those are not exactly bright spots on the current Bills roster.

I think it is in Jacksons best interest to make the switch to WR as soon as possible. He is way to lanky, I see him breaking like a tooth pick from getting hit in the pocket or trying to get those few extra yards and getting crushed. The rules protecting QB's in the NFL is for pocket QB's, do you really think Brady would still be playing right now if he was getting pounded into the ground like a RB. Polian is 100% right that Lamar Jackson should be a WR in the NFL, if you take away his athletic ability he is just a below average passer with poor field vision and below average accuracy.
Seems to me that WRs take a bigger beat down than QBs and often while prone in the air.

My want from.last draft was a second Sammy type. Run both deep every play and throw deep very regularly. No double covering that. Then add shady running and defenses would not be able to worry the TE and other WRs in the short and med range so throw to them the rest of the time. Might have worked and sure would have been fun to watch - but that ship has sailed.

At the end of the day 1 sure thing is better than 2 maybes.....
Your logic here is valid but the the reality of draft picks is that there are no sure things; an untrue but valid argument.

Doubt his personality is a fit in McD's locker room.
-
What others said about his being an RB3 and not 2. Also still scratching my head about Williams. Just want to add - if he does make RB3 please, please never throw the ball at him again; at being the correct proposition. He has a use though if there's room for him and he's used correctly.

For such a stupid species we sure destroyed the planet in amazing fashion.
I agree with you on this at least. Our epic story's end is near and we or our grandkids will likely be left holding the ball when it ends most embareassingly.
Couple million years of humans and we reached 1 billion in 1800ad, 2 billion in 1930, 4 billion in 1975 and 8 billion in 2016. Finite planet needs a finite ask.
My draft website and thoughts. Human overpopulation is the root cause of all that ails us (save for the bills of the past 20 years) and so the only path out.

Good on McD! He's absolutely correct and honest enough and smart enough to say it. You can tell the guys here who enjoyed rex Ryan's BS bravado - they want to be sold a dream is all: " hush lil bills fans don't you cry, rex is gonna win you a playoff bye. And if that playoff bye don't fall, rex is gonna show you bully ball. . ." I ain't johnny cash, eh.
I hope this is also a foreshadow that they are not going to trade a ton of picks to move way up for one guy this year. I suspect it is but I'm also biased and maybe reading as I want.

One thing that is pretty clear is they were not too happy with Denison’s work
Well, they guy tried to play tolbert as though he were shady and that was a fail; and he kept calling for passes to tolbert and dood cannot catch. He played tyrod all wrong too.
Of course, he also got shafted right before the opening game when he came to the office and learned his 1 and 2 WRs were traded. Ha. Talk about a bad morning "hey rick, grab a cup of coffee and meet me in my office. Need to tell you something."

Most historians accept that the Bible, especially the Old Testament, is an historical document which relates events that happened in the area of the Fertile Crescent before most of the people living in the region had written language (like the ancient Israelites). History isn't science, however.
Correct. I'm an atheist and of the opinion that the old testament is one of the most important books on human history. Isaac asimov wrote a huge guide to it explaining it all with that view. Those are the stories of our pre history as told from generation to generation and finally written down by several people - hence they differ.
Many of the names assumed to have been people are actually countries or tribes.

Moon shots is another one - going into orbit around a moon or planet and swinging off to get easy inertia. Unless, they also do not beleive we have been to mars, Pluto and now well beyond. Object in motion stays in motion in space.
But you guys are going about it all wrong here. Never gonna work. To work in dark ages argument one must adopt dark ages logical thought. Start with this and adapt as needed:

To add to what coach Tuesday said - the USA is one of the most religiously fanatical countries in the world. I found that hard to swallow at first but then, I've lived in WNY my entire life and we're not a hot spot for that sort of thing; usually.

The fins are going to parlay these picks plus more to move up and get a QB.
Sorry to add fear to all the spend all the picks on a QB folks but looks like now we might actually need to spend it all. Stay pat at 21 and laugh at the fins three years from now. :o)
