  1. That guy Whaley is still hanging around? Or perhaps they should just fire someone at random just to let Whaley know they didn't like his trade out of that 10th pick? How about we just hire someone so we can turn right around and fire him.
  2. Buddy Nix drafted EJ. Whaley made the trade out of the #10 spot where KC drafted Mahomes.
  3. Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. It really just depends on the player(s) in question, the picks being dealt or received and the team's needs. Doug Whaley drafted Zay Jones and Nathan Peterman. The rest are Beane acquisitions.
  4. True, but when you think about it, NFL players are actually playing games only 16 hours a year, not including playoffs or preseason. Sometimes a 'trend' like this doesn't show up in such a short amount of time. If you employ a technique in baseball to increase the number of double plays you produce, then that will show up because you're actually playing more than 10 times as long, so even a small advantage will turn up eventually.
  5. Who says we'll win anything with a journyman at QB?
  6. 8.5! That's great if you want to bet on the Bills to beat the spread. It seems they haven't noticed how well our defense is playing. I'm not saying we'll get anywhere near the playoffs, but 8.5 points!!!
  7. He had a good game. He was motivated. He's still an average player until he can string a few games like this together. I hope so.
  8. T White. He gave up 49 yards on 4 ereceptions to Davis who had 22 catches in his last 2 games. Shady and Ivory get honorable mention. The run game wasn't great, but it was effective when we needed it. Ivory was clutch. Shady had 108 yards from scrimmage. Milano also deserves mention just because he's always coming up with big plays each game it seems like.
  9. The fix is an infux of talent in 2019.
  10. Cut??? I'm sure they could get a decent pick for him. Why just cut him and get nothing? I agree with your 1st point though. He can't single handedly make up for a team that has no one else at TE or WR worth mentioning.
  11. Let's not pretend that Clay is terrible. He's better than most starting TE's, but far from elite. Most of the money in his contract was up front, so it makes no sense to trade him now because there is nothing behind him. We'd be taking a big step backwards. Try putting some talent around him and see how that goes.
  12. I think it's fair to say that Allen is at a serious disadvantage here. Who has a weaker supporting cast? Take away McCoy and this may be the weakest offensive lineup I've seen in 58 years of watching football. Only the Dan Darraugh led Bills that posted back to back 1-13 seasons can compare.
  13. Bills in a squeaker, 16 - 13. Allen still looks way too raw and still has several throws way off target, but the D plays well and Allen does just enough. T Johnson gets his 1st NFL pick and T White snags one too. Marriota pads his stats late in the game, but can't get it done. Bills win on a late TD (Allen - Holmes). Shady finally puts together a solid game as a runner and receiver. Allen scrambles for a couple 1st downs and throws no picks.
  14. Anything in the mid 70's or lower is a weak spot. On D that includes all CB's other than TW, all backups, all LB's and Lotulelei. At least they are still all below 80.Kyle is an 80 and dropping. T Murphy is an 81. Hyde, Poyer and White are also dropping, but still OK. Hyde has dropped from 92 to 91 and is the only 90+ player on the roster. Shady has dropped 90 to 88 and Ivory has dropped 80 to 79. Lotulelei has come up 75 to 76. Our starting OL is 77, 75, 68, 73, 71. That's really bad. Groy(68) shouldn't even be on an NFL roster and Bodine is also a 68. Mills is the 71. Ducasse is the 75. Miller is 73.
  15. Harry's Madden Rating has gone from 70 overall to 72 since opening day. T Johnson has also seen a +2 jump (68 --> 70).Meanwhile, our 2 first rounders have both dropped a point. Allen is now a 73 and Edmunds is a 74. K Benjaman has had the biggest drop from 84 down to 81. Hughes and Lorenzo have been bumped up by +2 (85 & 80, respectively). Others that have dropped by -2 are K Williams (80) & J Poyer (85). The OL has dropped slightly, but was very poorly rated to begin with. Dawkins, on the other hand, has received a +1 boost(78).
  16. Who? "Anybody"? That's who we have now. There's nothing out there until the next FA period starts.
  17. No. We'll never ever ever ever have an offense ever again in a million years. Waaaaaah!
  18. Agreed, but he hasn't really had the funds due to all that dead money. I don't know what to make of T Murphy yet because he's just now seeing his first action since that nasty injury. He certainly looked good before that injury. Lotulelei, I'm not sure of either. If he's consistently drawing double teams and collapsing the pocket then I'm OK with him. I'd have to watch him more closely. At any rate, I'm pretty sure Beane will be after more expensive FA's next Spring. Again, we'll just have to wait and see. Next year's roster shakeup could be more dramatic than last year's
  19. Our OL will look very different in 2019 and they did know about Wood and Incognito. WR and OL will be addressed when we have the resources to do it (which we didn't have in this past offseason). I see no justification for judging Daboll when you've just finished pointing out that he needs more talent. As far as Allen is concerned, no one can say where his ceiling is this soon, so why pass judgement on his 'developer' before you see the results. As far as the rest of these complaints are concerned, we're rebuilding. We unloaded several overpaid underachievers and we're eating their dead money. Honestly, I don't mind waiting for the rebuild to finish half as much as all the whining. I didn't expect it to be this ugly either, but I've seen worse. At least we'll have the resources to address all of these issues in 2019. Just relax and take it in stride. If we are still having most of these problems next year, then I will join the chorus of boos, but not this soon. Not before we have sufficient cap space to deal with this.
  20. Doug Whaley and his ENTIRE scouting staff. They've been gone for a while now. WAAAAAAAAH!!!
  21. You want Mills and Miller back? Also, I'll be furious if they waste a 1st round pick on a RB. Why would you keep Miller over Ducasse anyways? Only 1 new starter FA on offense with $100,000,000 in cap space? I just don't see anything close to this scenario playing out. I'd make 1 exception or addition. We need a very good CB to start opposite White. I'd like to use some of that cap space to address both WR and CB. I agree 100% on trading down and using our day 1 pick(s) on a LT and C. I'd like to add another G to compete as well.
  22. We're rebuilding. If you're getting all upset about it, I think that's on you. This is how rebuilds usually work. You bite the bullet for a year or 2 and hopefully emerge stronger than before. Time will tell, but right now I'm just waiting it out until FA starts.
