Da webster guy

Well we definitely win that KC game that's for damn sure. Strange that after all the great work McD does as a HC, the guys ONE apparent weakness is game calling with everything on the line.

I like the Dinosaur Wango Tango wings over all else. They're slow cooked so you don't get the sinewy stuff from the fried wings, it's almost fall off the bone but the skin keeps in the meat. After a long smoke w dry rub they throw them on the grill and sauce em when you order. All the fat is rendered off during the slow cook and the wings are big and meaty. We have done blind taste tests with Dino wings and they win every time.

I feel like elite QB's generally move the ball regardless of who their receivers are, and having a top offense scoring 30+pts per game and 4 proven NFL receivers on the roster in Diggs, Gabe, Mckenzie and Crowder, that drafting a WR5 in the 1st round seems misguided. This is our superbowl run season, not drafting for depth. We need guys that can impact our games immediately, and that starts with being good enough to beat out the guy ahead of you on the depth chart in camp. I can't help but think the clearest path to having a rookie starter is CB. A physical, fast intelligent CB that can play zone and man, good in run support and proven against top level offenses in college. It's possible a RB could also have an instant impact as well but WR seems more like a Whaley move to me.

Bills coaches agree and gave the kid over 500 snaps this year which is what he needs again next year. After a few seasons and 1000 NFL snaps I'd say you pretty much know what you have at that point.

I don't think Chan Gailey was a bad coach at all. One of our best game callers for sure. He and Fitz, Stevie, they had some pretty good showings.

No kids yet but I can imagine once you have little ones that being a HC would suck for your wife n kids. Football is awesome and careers can be great but too much stress is pure evil and your window to be a parent is pretty small. He'd be the first one ever to be that young, get a ring and then bow out.

I remember him as the dude who went to like 7 superbowls. which is probably why the russians wanted him.....

This one is up to Star more than it is the team. If he busts his a$$ and shows up to camp in great shape and wins a roster spot in 6 months, you now have an experienced guy in the middle in your rotation for a very low cap hit. If he's mentally or physically done he either retires or it become obvious to the coaches this summer and he is released. Would only cost maybe a roster bonus, something minor.. I see no downside to letting him try out for the team again, unless the cap was so tight his $1.5M hit would be the difference between signing a free agent guy or not.

Wallace was technically covering him but he got a free release and Milano was way too deep and out of position to help. The best TE in the league basically untouched and wide open on the biggest play of the season. Both our All pro safeties so far deep they may as well have been on the bench.

Put simply, the Giants are a sinking ship. Daboll missed out on his dream job w the Chargers (Staley over Daboll will go down as a legendary whiff by that franchise) and the guy got an offer from a GM he knows for a HC job so he took it, but they are still going to suck. Jones has played 3 seasons in the league and he's done OK. Turnovers were his biggest challenge and he was 10 TD's on 7 picks before his injury which is WAY better than his 1st two years. Throws a decent deep ball too, but overall he's just a guy, and we know all too well how that one ends.

Josh Rosen rookie card. free with any purchase of a happy meal.

Well if there's one thing we know as Bills fans, it's really hard to find an elite QB even if you tank and have a high pick. There are some years college football doesn't produce a single franchise QB. It takes a long time and some luck to get one, but once you do then you're in the hunt every year. Not only did we a get a franchise guy, we have one of the most unique and fun to watch qb's to ever play the position. And he doesn't have that d*ckhead air about him like Rogers, Baker, Cutler etc. He's cool, loves Buffalo and we love him back. So we get 10 years of expecting to win our division, and one of these years we'll get a trophy with this kid. There's just no doubt in my mind. Too bad he wasn't covering Kelce or we'd be playing Sunday.

People that open a thread and post just to say "there are other threads on this" kill me. Just don't click on it then, nobody is forcing you. Sometimes existing threads get off base, they turn nasty or become a few guys back and forth defending their posts, a new thread on a massively important topic getting restarted a few times isn't going to hurt anything. Now, if someone starts another one Patrick Mahomes brother, THAT'S grounds for murder......

This is interesting. We know that the right call was a high short kick, we practice covering it and use this now and then. It will bring the clock to 8/9 seconds, maybe less. They aren't going to fair catch a kick that lands at the 5-10 yard line and if they do, we just gained 15-20 yards on them which is huge in that scenario. If McD had called for it, which he obviously should have, then we know from experience that Bass lines up differently in the pre-kick steps as the OP said. At this point the special teams coach and McD AND Bass should all be on the same page, and if there is any issue whatsoever it would have been a timeout from our sideline as they watched Bass take his 7-8 yard walk back. We have people on the sideline with headsets, people upstairs in the booth with headsets, everyone in the world is watching Bass line up his steps, there is no way we aren't going to notice he is lining up to kick out of the end zone, which he did. Bass did exactly as he was told. Just brutal game coaching and mishandling the entire sequence from the kick mistake to the way they had our safeties playing BEHIND the imaginary red field goal line, as if we were so scared of them getting a touchdown we had our best two Dbacks 40 yards deep. Kelce running wide open with no help for Levi, having Addison and Oliver NOT rush Mahomes and just stand there as spies (ridiculous). Cost us the season and maybe a title. I hope McD stands up soon and explains everything. We can handle honest mistakes, but don't go Tom Donahoe "we'll give the fans as much info as WE think they need" I love the guy as a head coach, he's learning slowly about game coaching, getting better but definitely not there yet. It's a hard thing to do even for the veteran coaches, we understand stuff like this happens, just don't lie about it.

disagree. a kickoff returner is going to take a knee at the 3-5 yard line? clock stops when they're tackled.

Things get a little more challenging capwise as Josh's salary hit kicks in, but we are really in good shape here as far as talent and potential. Some good trench play on both sides of the ball this past month, lets get a cb, mlb and edge in the draft. Gotta keep swinging for the fences, we will get a trophy one of these days.

Oline play is very encouraging. Is it mostly because of Bates? Either way we basically shut down Ingram and Chris Jones who are studs. If you forgot how good they are wait until they feast on Burrow with his crap line.

zero passes defensed. 44 throws and we didn't break up ONE. Once again, squib kick runs clock to 10 seconds. Kelce is held every play at the line, (just Kelce) draw defensive holding call if need be. Two plays, Game over.

Hughes and Addison have very good 1st steps and seemed to be pressuring well but just couldn't quite make enough difference in this game. I guess these guys would be gone next year but having them show up at camp and seeing how they play makes more sense than letting them walk. Same with Star. If they have a great offseason and show up in shape next summer you give them a chance to win a roster spot like anyone else. Meanwhile cb, edge and middle LB in the draft please.

Its not fine compared to college rules which makes it both more fair and exciting at the same time. Its not even close.

Yeah edge rushers were good but not good enough. It's a tough thing to do but we need to keep drafting an edge guy every year until we find a stud.

How do they not automatically know this..... Maddening. Press and HOLD all the receivers after the squib for two plays and they are trying a hail mary from their own 35 with no time on the clock. Take the 5yd penalites both times. Our junior high school coaches know this approach. Sean gets outcoached by Reid too often.

Great season, great run for the Bills. Lost to a good offense, really encouraged by the Oline play lately. I think we all can see that we'll be in the hunt every year for the next decade with 17 at the wheel. If we win that coin flip in OT we may have won the superbowl. I saw a clickbait post on twitter today that was busting on the Packers for having 30 years of back to back HOF qb's and "only" two championships. The fact is you need a fair amount of luck to hoist the trophy, it isn't always about skill. We sensed that at some point not having our All Pro corner was going to hurt us, and tonite was the night. Letting Kelce run wide open at the end of regulation is kind of laughable, makes me wonder where our coaching staff was on those timeouts. Tackle him, hold him, just don't let him run open. Tyreek too.

The answer is just about everyone. We play mostly zone w 2 deep safeties vs Mahomes. In zone coverage the LB's and dbacks work together, there won't be a guy following Kelce around. Last time we played them, Kelce and Tyreek had about 60 yards each. It was manageable. Leslie may run some man coverage to mix it up, a few games ago he had Tredavious shadowing Kelce for awhile but switched back to zone not long after. Our biggest worry is going to be blocking Chris Jones and Melvin Ingram. Neither one of those guys played last game (Jones hurt, Ingram wasn't a Chief yet) and they're both elite in my opinion. KC was 4-4 when Ingram came on board and they launched from there. Jones killed us last year in the AFC championship game. When we play teams that can pass rush well, Daboll and the Oline HAVE TO make the run game work to some extent. If we end up in another situation where we give up on the run and make Josh throw 50 passes I think we are toast. Must keep their D guessing. It sounds extreme but Motor may be just as important in this game as Josh. You can do it little/big man!

I like how he chilled out and refocused after his stupid penalty game a few weeks back. He manned up, took the blame and let his play speak for itself. I was worried a little bit after that game, wondering if the kid is just immature and wild (he is to some extent) and that's why he dropped to the 3rd round because otherwise his power, length and ability to move is so impressive you'd think he would have gone much higher. I agree with the earlier poster that Beane has made up for his Ford whiff by drafting big 79. He is going to be up against Ingram this week, who I still can't believe ended up in KC. That dude can wreck your backfield worse than Frank Clark did last year. Gilliam and Knox will need to be ready to help out.
