  1. No. McDermott is an excellent leader. You lose a playoff game in any other sport and you shrug it off. "We'll get 'em tomorrow." In football, there's no room for error. There are several teams that could win it all with a lucky bounce or two and we're one of those teams.

  2. This may go down as Beane's best draft to date -- A pretty tall order since he nabbed Josh and Edmunds together. But Edmunds is gone. Meanwhile the UDFA's look like 2 or 3 of them are sure to make the PS or better. Certainly, Shavers will stick somewhere. While the day 3 guys haven't shown much, it's still early -- At least for our 5th rounder. Meanwhile, the top 3 picks look like solid gold. To say that Kincaid and Torrence have shined is an understatement. They are everything we hoped for and then some. I know it's too early, but everything they have done to this point has been outstanding. Don't let me stop there either. I was disappointed when they drafted Dorian Williams. Not any more! He looks great too and was possibly the best defensive player on the field last Saturday. I wonder how long it will be before he forces the coaches to find a way to keep him on the field. Maybe add a little bulk and let him play besides Milano.

     

    I'd love to hear your thoughts on our rookie class.

  3. His strengths are man to man and press. He has to learn to play zone better. It requires quick recognition and reaction skills. We knew it would take time. Maybe he'll always be a better man coverage guy. Maybe he'll be allowed to play more press to take advantage of his skill set. Maybe he'll learn to play zone as well as man. Time will tell.

  4. I think Cook will make a modest jump from year 1 to year 2, but people are assuming too much. He's not a work horse type RB. I look for Damien Harris to get a lot more snaps than people expect. He can take it between the tackles. Cook is more of a gadget player. I see Cook running sweeps, screens, draws and such. Late in games, you'll see a lot more of Harris running the ball than Cook unless we're trailing.

    Madden gets Josh Allen and the Bills better than 97.1% of the posters on Two Bills Drive. Fact check:  Completely True. 

    Put the game in simulation mode. Set the clock to 15 minutes and the play clock to 13 seconds. Watch in spectator mode. Then tell me they have the Bills figured out. Not. Even. Close.

  6. Manny Martin - I met him and his mother in law. He bought my wife and I some Bills gear. My stepson still wears the ballcap he gave me when he's working in Manila. He had 2 picks against Dallas in a home game.

    I remember him well. I hope he's doing ok. He must be pushing 80 yrs old by now.

    Bengals had to make the biggest leap. Broncos at 7? I remember Russell Wilson running for his life most of last season. Is Lamar the reason the Ravens are at #3?

    The Broncos spent a lot more on their OL than we did. Ben Powers and Mike McGlinchey will be starting (obviously). We didn't have enough cap space to do what we needed. Other than Dawkins, our OL is still very suspect. I do think Torrence will be good though.

  8. I love the Torrence addition. I think adding Edwards was a sneaky good move, but not a great one. I think signing McGovern for so long and so much was a terrible move that will set us back. We still need a starting caliber RT and McGovern needs an upgrade. We also are 2 WR's short of a solid starting 3. Also, everyone assumes Cook will be great. I'd like him to achieve mediocrity at least before I join that lovefest. I'm not saying it would easy to solve all those problems, but the answer is still no. We didn't do enough.

     

    We'll be a good team this year, but I don't see a deep playoff run. We may not even win the AFCE.
