  1. Could be interesting. Personally, I'd rather see Tyrod move forward with players he has chemistry with. I think that is something that is so overlooked. We could trade for Antonio Brown, that doesn't mean he and Tyrod would click midway through the season. There's a reason these guys go through camp, timing/chemistry is perhaps more important than raw talent. Holmes seems to have found some chemistry with Tyrod making some really nice plays against Oakland and Zay made some nice catches as well on limited targets. Why not give them a chance to keep improving their chemistry as an offense. I don't think a move like this will make too much sense at this point in the year.

  2. The Bills should do this. It's funny to see fans on here talking about contracts , as if they are shopping for the cheapest pack of hot dogs and have cents-off coupons. NFL players get paid, period. If you acquire a guy at the tail end of his rookie deal, guess what? You are going to have to resign the player. It won't be inexpensive. Dareus was traded largely because the team didn't want that player as their highest paid guy. It sends a bad message when a slacker with judgement problems etc is the big money guy. The Bills need a legit deep threat. Hilton would fit and they have draft capital. It's a good deal for a proven player that can help for a potential playoff run and beyond. The money isn't out of line in NFL reality.

    Buffalo doesn't throw the ball enough to warrant grabbing a wide receiver paid over 10 mill a year. Plus, he has no chemistry with our QB. It just doesn't fit what we are trying to do here. There's a reason we are paying a RB 10 mill plus, we are a run first team. Don't waste that cap on a wide receiver, use it somewhere that will benefit the team more.

  3. Ajayi is a physical runner who the Bills had trouble containing. There is no downside to him getting moved to the NFC. It definitely helps us this year when we face them.

    Have you seen what he's done this year? He hasn't made a big impact. 0 tds, rushing for 3.4 yds per carry, doesn't pose a threat as a pass-catcher...can easily be replaced and be outplayed

  4. Yea but no backup RB gets 15 carries a game ... not even 10

     

    Gillislee averaged 6 carries a game last year. It be nice to have a high end backup but it's only 6 carries. Shady can be premier till he retires

    I never said for this season in my post. I said we should address it in the offseason in the draft. Moving forward, with Mccoy's age and durability issues, finding a guy that can carry more of the load is ideal

  5. I think an Alexander replacement is coming. DT would be expected. CB for depth. Olineman.

     

    Just looking at their history in Carolina i don't see a WR in the 1st, but who knows.

    Kelvin Benjamin was a 1st round pick. I think this is the type of wide out they want. Big body who can go up and snag a not so great pass over a defender

  6. I don't quite understand the idea that we must be dominant in the passing game to get to the super bowl. Carolina, the last Denver team, Seattle...and so on have all been in the super bowl lately with run first offenses and dominant defenses. That's the mold of this team. San Fran was the same way a few years ago too and all their QBs did was run and not turn the ball over. Someone help me understand why we need a QB that throws for 300 yards a game? The league may have more passing teams in it but that doesn't mean run first/defensive teams can't win. They've done it throughout history and continue to do it now. Denver did it with a QB that was one hit away from breaking his neck and could barely throw the ball with any velocity. Why must we replace Tyrod? I have yet to hear a good answer to this.

  7. His contract doesnt tie hands going forward. If you can get Hilton for a 3rd or 4th it may make this team better.

     

    He can then just be a one year rental if needed

    Actually, over 10 mill for the next three years is doing just that with the cap we have. The offense is doing just fine now, the team has scored 30 points the last two games. Am I missing something? We don't need top flight wide outs with big salaries for the type of offense we run which has been productive and improving as the season goes on.

  8. If the players continue to develop and get better...the best we've had in a while. We could potentially have a lockdown corner, a slot wide out (think Zay just needs a little time to develop), a solid outside linebacker who can cover, a RT, and a backup QB. Nice draft. Three rooks starting right now and Dawkins has started a few games and provided nice depth. I'd say that's a win. Can't wait to see what they do with next year's draft

  9. I think it depends on if Jordan Mathews stays but with Zay progressing we will have two solid wideouts and a couple of nice pass catching tight ends with a shady in the backfield. Maybe adding one more wide out to that but I'm not even sure a 1st round pick is required. That is if Mathews stays. Wide receiver seems to be deep in this class. But see if Dawkins can play RT and go get a RG in the first or second round. Love me some Will Hernendez from UTEP. Powerful, mean SOB. Linebacker and the D-line are big needs. Hasn't been a lot of pass rush, plus we are aging all across the line. I think a running back in the second or third round will be taken as a running mate/eventual replacement to Shady. If Gaines doesn't stay, a second corner. I like Leonard Johnson as our third corner.

    1st DL

    1st G

    2nd LB

    2nd WR

    3rd RB

    3rd CB

    4th OL depth

    5th DL depth

     

    With an aging Oline and Dline, these should be first priority in my opinion

  10. If Tyrod continues to play at a high level, I don't think they will draft a QB and if they do not in the first round. I have been in that boat from day 1 this year but Tyrod has me feeling confident in his abilities moving forward. Give him some more weapons and better protection...who knows?

  11. A good coach doesn't get players that fit his scheme, he gets a scheme that fits his players. Sami Watkins is a world class decoy and Dareus is the fastest fat guy in the NFL. If we had them we would probably clinch a playoff appearance this Thursday. Instead it's 2011 and we're in Groundhog day.

     

    :lol:

    A new coach yes but a completely new regime...no. I'd say they've done a nice job of it. Gotta have the players buy into the system, not the other way around.

  12. Ignoring the highlight reel- it comes down to what hes doing play in and play out. I doubt any of us watched him closely enough today to say anything other than he had a couple of big opportunities that he capitalized on

    Okay but he put himself in good position to make those plays and didn't notice him being beaten for a big play in the game. A fifth round rookie who has 19 tackles an int, ff and fumble recovery for a touchdown...i'd say he's doing pretty darn good

  13. I absolutely agree, but will say that Tolbert did his job today and didn't leave a lot of yards on the field that I thought he did in other games. Tolbert should be the #3 and sometimes short yardage back and backup FB and special teams player.

    I agree, nothing against Tolbert. He has played well but I think we need a number 2 back that will eventually take over as our 1 in a few years. He just isn't that.

  14. Typical OBD apologist. So we won the game. Big deal. The goal is to amass talent.

     

    If you'd followed Brendon McBean as long as I have you'd know what I'm talking about. But we'll just "trust the process."

     

    This guy gets it.

    He has gotten rid of players that don't fit the scheme. Finding players to fit the scheme is what every GM is supposed to do. In the process of getting rid of those players, he has gained cap space and draft picks. Every GM has to make hard decisions but Dareus was more destructive in this building than anything, same with Sammy. Darby is a press one on one corner, doesn't fit the scheme. If they don't fit, they won't be here. Plain and simple.
