Memory lane. This was a good draft talent wise. Given who was in there and available, a huge bust draft for the Bills.
Ngata stands out as a legendary whiff.
This was the hey dey of my draft years. Wow those cheesy ESPN intros and clips of Reggie Bush walking down a fashion show runway. All the heavyweights - Berman, Mort, Mel were there and on the back 9 of their prime.
I thought it was a decent draft for us, but not players I readily liked. I was shouting for Ngata.
Given that a lot of folks had players miscalculated in 06. The names Winston Justice...Kiwanuka....Bunkley ...so many fizzles in this draft, but so many big players as well .

I wish guys were accountable. Couple of those plays happened right in front of Po. I'd probably say I wish I could have made a play and take accountability for it.
Granted, I don't think it was Po's fault, but that's what leaders do.

Diggs is a pain in the butt. Kinda sick of his BS, especially if he's going to play like he did down the stretch.

Simmons is one of the best safeties in the NFL. Everyone would love him, but I just can't see Beane giving out that kind of contract.
The whole reason they cut Jordan Poyer was to get younger and cheaper. He's only 2 years younger and would definitely be more expensive.
I'm starting to get the same vibes about the Free Safety position as the Bills gave last year about Middle Linebacker.
We passed on everyone in Free Agency. Waited until the 3rd Round of the Draft. Everyone was in total panic mode going into the season.
Then Terrell Bernard played like a superstar and Tyrell Dodson was a solid backup.
Don't forget. This regime found Poyer and Micah Hyde in the bargain bin. Both were backups on their previous teams.
I think it's fair to question how well this team knows some positions (O-Line, D-Line, Wide Receiver), because they don't necessarily have the best track record of finding untapped talent and developing it. But it's the complete opposite in the secondary. This team has a fantastic track record at both cornerback and safety.
I also think people are totally sleeping on Damar Hamlin. He did a great job filling in for Hyde during the 2022 season.
There was a lot that went into him being inactive most weeks. He was less than 12 months from a horrific physical trauma that devastated his body. Thanks to Taylor Rapp, the Bills really didn't need him. With another offseason to rehab and train, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets back to his previous form.
I'm not saying I disagree w all of your bottom line, but the whole reason we are moving on from Hyde/ Poyer is not just to get younger.
It's because these guy's play has drastically declined and they make too much money for the production.
BTW thought Poyer was a gem find, but Hyde was already a Pro Bowl level player when we got him.

I said nowhere that I only want big name guys. I just said I'm sick and tired of stacking WR3s instead of actually drafting and developing one - something you accused me of not wanting to do. You agreed with about half of what I said so it couldnt be THAT bad of a take 🤝
We did draft and develop Hodgins. He was pilfered off our PS by the coach who drafted him.
Not fully sure why he's not being tendered but he's still a developmental player.

Nooooooo. Why are we always obsessed with underachieving former WRs like Hodgins, McKenzie, Robert foster, Kumerow, duke williams. We do NOT need guys like Hodgins. We bring him in to do what, take snaps away from an actual promising guy like Shakir? I’m happy our collective fanbase agreed (mostly) that Gabe should walk for the $$, we’re getting smarter. We do not need a collection of WR3’s. At this point if beane can’t swing for a Hollywood brown or a M Williams then it’s the draft and it better be a rd 1 pick or I’ll feel helpless. No more settling for depth wrs for Josh. Were neglecting it.
This is such a a bad take. It's like only big name players like TO or nothing.
Player development is a thing. Guys emerge from PS or low draft picks to become solid players.
Hodgins has been injured. He has trouble staying healthy, but lots of solid flashes. He's closer to Stevie Johnson than he is Duke Williams.
I like the player and think he would be a decent option to come into a camp and fight for a roster spot. He's a solid vet.

Renfrow would be a great addition to WR room. I'd love him at the right price.
Yes, he's not the #2 WR with jets and everything we need. My belief is the only way to find that guy is via the draft.
But we need solid depth as well, and Renfrow is a good one. 100 catch sure handed possession guys are invaluable, and Renfrow can be that.
You still draft a guy fellas, no one is saying Hunter is the solution.

I thought Poyer got trucked more than established physical play in the last 2 years. He struggled when confronted directly or straight on. His best games as a pro in the last 2 years where when he had some better angles and solid coverage. At his best, he was a physical hybrid type safety that was highly balanced and had a knack for generating turnovers ....but not as physical as a quality true old school strong.

No. That’s insane. I mean, Daquan was playing well for us and I’m glad he’s back and all. He’s a good player. But he was never playing anywhere close to an “All Pro” level. If he was capable of playing like Aaron Donald, Frank Clark, Chris Jones or Justin Madibuke, then he’d be getting $25M-$30M a season like they are. He’s getting $8M (or up to $8M).
😵💫

I don't think he's a cancer. He's just not the arrogant hard charging personality folks want from that position. Not a great leader and very beta.

I hope we don't trade Dion. This is from a guy who was very worried about him last year.

Honestly, Gen X took flak for 20 years. Boomers get it too.

I wanted to like Mitch, but from what I saw in Pittsburg- he's flat toast. I feel like an UDFA holds more promise. Either way, your likely not winning under MT.

The Ravens have been bulldozing teams and it hasn’t even been close in any game, until today. The shaky start today might be amplified if a team can cash in TDs. Putting the Ravens in a huge hole early is critical.
What the hell are you even talking about?

Guys, Texans have played terrible. Coached bad too. No short rout dump offs.

KC will not be overwhelmed.They have been in plenty of hostile environments before. It hasn’t been in the playoffs, but they’ve won two SB’s and have been to another.
The Rich Stadium environment will help the Bills more than it will overwhelm KC.
Yeah, it just is not that true. Not many victories on road late in seasons since 2020 and no fans. Even less versus good playoff teams.

The case can be made that the Chiefs have NEVER EVER had to play offense in an environment like Sunday's, at least not since January 1994 and 1992 when we took them to the woodshed both times.
I love it when folks say "but they played in Tampa's home stadium against the Bucs." First of all, a corporate Super Bowl crowd is nothing like this. Second... they lost.
I made this same point. Late losses @Cin over the last few years, losses @Green Bay and @Denver this year late.
None of those are as hostile as Buffalo, and we have killer DL.

Let me try to explain this to you since you can't do simple math. The Bills rushed for 2212 yards.
James Cook had 1122 that is just a little bit over half since you are poor in math
Josh had 524
The rest of the team had 566 combined.
Maybe you are the one that doesn't know football and aren't watching the games.
The Bills do not in anyway call for QB runs the way they used to in the past. When there's nothing there Josh takes off like he did vs the Steelers for 52 yards. He obviously had to do the QB sneaks because he's the QB
So basically 75-80% of the rushing yards did not come from Josh Allen.
This still doesn't change the fact you said a running QB never won the Superbowl and were WRONG because Steve Young, Elway did run.
That being said I think we will uncork some in this game.

My prediction is
TJ , Douglas and Dodson will be gtg.
Maybe Benford and Martin.
Other guys out.

Our D is so banged up that it's hard not to see KC scoring a bunch of points.
That means Josh will want to play Superman. Hopefully, it doesn't lead to what the media likes to call, "The Full Josh Allen Experience" - including some turnovers.
I'm hoping for a couple of things from these two key guys:
McDermott. He's been able to manufacture good performances despite all the guys in bandages. I hope he does so again. I hope he schemes and calls the best defensive game of his life.
Josh. I hope he avoids TOs but still makes big plays. I hope he remains patient, takes what's given, spreads the ball around, uses his legs effectively, makes good decisions, and is preternaturally accurate with the ball.
If both McD and Josh have good days, we'll win. If they don't, we could lose by double digits.
KC averages 21 points per game over their last 11. It's going to be loud, hostile, cold, and somewhat windy.
Our whole D line is intact, deep, and we get sacks and pressure. Veteran safeties with Douglas and Dodson back, we will basically have 2 solid back ups in there.
I'm not that worried about D

Jordan Phillips Signs with the G-Men
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
I think things need to happen to Jordan every 2-3 years that shocks him into playing with a chip on his shoulder.
Man, though, guy just cannot stay healthy.
