    High praise from Gil Brandt for the Bills’ offseason moves

    At some point.......after decades of following the NFL......... you should be able to learn that the kind of rationale in your post is just your offseason brain forgetting how the NFL really plays out.    

     

    I mean, for instance.........do you think that teams will continue to allow Allen to run for 100 yards per game or will they look at what Detroit and the Pats did to shut him down and employ those defensive tactics?    Adjustments will be made........he won't be able to play exactly like he did in the final six games..........Allen will have to be a lot better at QB'ing than RB'ing this year.    

     

    And that's just one of MANY variables.

     

    At this point there really is no floor............Allen could improve and the team could lose 8 games by a FG or less and wind up 4-12.    Remember Drew Brees went 7-9 for three straight years recently.   Check out Philip Rivers record under Mike McCoy before Anthony Lynn came in and turned that organization around.     Even HOF QB's can be undermined by circumstance.

    All Anthony Lynn had to do was not be a colossal failure. He got the easiest gig in all of sports. Great defensive line, hall of fame QB, tons of offensive weapons.

     

    And he still managed to miss the playoffs in his first year (McDermott got the Bills in with FAR less talent in his first year).

    So, I just got warned for making too much sense and speaking the truth from Chandler81. Apparently, honesty isn't valued by some. I've often praised Bills' fans for being steadfast in the face of adversity. Until Kraft bought the Patriots, we were just like the Bills. Flashes of goodness, but not quite good enough. So, if I get banned for being truthful and honest, I'm fine with it. Chandler81, you call yourself a Bills' fan, but you act like a Jets' fan... Pfffffffffff......

    The honesty of a Patriots fan is pretty worthless. Your brains have all been washed clean of rational thought.

    I don't think we'll ever have to truly worry about the defense, especially the secondary, with McDermott and company around. Sure, they may have bad halves or even bad games, from time to time, but he'll always get things figured out and produce a good product on defense.

     

    Let's hope we have the right coaches for the offense and can build a sustainable, successful product.

    Bills projected to pick 4th in 2020

    It's pretty incredible that anyone thinks that the Bills will be worse than last year. The schedule appears to be easier. The Bills have received a lot of national praise for their free agency AND draft. Both the offensive and defensive schemes are returning. No major changes in coaching or front office management. QB going into year two.

     

    There's just absolutely nothing about the Bills that would suggest anything but improvement and winning at least a couple more games. I have to believe that the people who do these mock drafts or projections just seriously know nothing about the team except that they are usually not great and won 6 games last year.

     

    I mean, the Bills have been middle of the road for years now. There's no reason to assume they'd fall on their face and be picking top 5.

    Jets fire GM Mike Maccagnan, name Adam Gase interim GM

    It may appear on the surface like a similar situation but looking at it from the lens of following both situations closely, it was not. Mac was given full control of the draft and FA, which caused friction with Gase and then ownership caved. There was tons of media speculation about the friction between the 2 and Gase denied it all. With the Bills situation, Whaley was a lame duck the minute McD got here. He was so different than Rex/Whaley that the Pegulas witnessed competence and realized that Whaley was in over his head. It didn’t help that he looked like a bumbling idiot in front of the media over and over and didn’t appear fit to run an NFL team.  He reportedly had little control over the draft or FA and was just a puppet for McD until Beane got there, which is why he and the entire FO and scouting dept was fired the day after the draft. McD also didn’t reach for control over the 53, the Bills just wanted a different GM to pair with McD and draft the QB, 

     

    The Jets are firing the GM who picked the QB -during OTAs - and outside of his right hand man, everyone else in the FO is still there and GASE is now in his job, until they fill it. And when they do, that GM will not have control over the 53, I suspect.

    I do agree with you, I just think there is a parallel there. If you remember, there was a lot of national negative criticism after the Bills fired Whaley and the scouts after the draft. Many who were not following the Bills closely scratched their heads and were confused about the timing, just like in this situation.

     

    Looking back, everything is clear and the moves make sense. Not sure it will work out that way for Gase and company, but we'll see. I do think Gase has a good football mind (although he is a terrible leader), and the same can be said about Greg Williams on the other side. I think they'll win some games. I just wonder if there will be too much in fighting and politics to allow them to become a contender.

    Flacco is not interested in mentoring Drew Lock

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    The old veteran QB mentor thing is pretty much a myth, if you ask me. The closest you get is a guy like Derek Anderson who has been a career backup and never really played well enough to ever be a starter. So does it matter if you have a sub-par QB as a mentor when he has never been good?

     

    All the good QB's want to be the guy, they don't want to help someone else be the guy. All the great QB's were probably lousy mentors.

    Steve Tasker, one of toughest listens [CBS contract not renewed!]

    I think the criticism for both Murphy and Tasker is a little overblown. I think they do an ok job. Tasker does struggle sometimes, for sure, but he's way better than Donald Jones who never put an hour of effort into his job the entire time he was there. Murphy is a homer but he has always been willing to talk about the Bills struggles and the players and coaches shortcomings.

     

    They get excellent guests on the show regularly. Chris Brown is often on the show and I think he is always a good listen.

     

    All in all it is a decent show, in my opinion. Not sure where all the vitriol comes from.
