That’s very concise and insightful way to sum up the 2017 draft. But I believe the draft was quite good for a guy who never coached an NFL game as an HC.

To say everyone here loves Zay is a huge leap. He is our guy and will get the benefit of doubt. He will be under the microscope this TC and season (if he makes the team).

As training camp approaches I was thinking about personnel and how the 4 main picks from the 2017 draft could play a crucial part in this team’s success. If Jones takes it to another level and Dawkins and Milano continue to progress, I have to give McDermott a lot a credit for his first draft while strapped with a lame duck GM. I can understand if many see whiffing on Mahommes as unforgivable, but that aside, the HC may have done really well for his 1st draft and makes me optimistic that he gets it. We don’t know yet if it is a great draft but given the previous regimes track record it’s lookin pretty good.

Some days I think the last two seasons are truly representative of the FO/HC and the 8-8 +/- trend will continue. Others days I think they overachieved with what they inherited and this year they will break through. Either way this will be fun to see unfold. And one thing is clear. You can argue the last two seasons were transition years but this season is all on the HC/GM with respect to results. And we have our clear #1 QB. No wondering who wins out in camp this year. I love the clarity we have this season. Seems like that has been missing.

9 wins for sure. Worried about game 1 against the Jets and Titans on the road. I think the Eagles could be a win.

Kick the tires? ?

Born and raised in Wayne County. Live in Santa Barbara. Get the occasional go Bills when I wear the logo.

Especially when they can easily afford a cab or Uber.

Did Jackson have 10 wins last year? Thought he only started 7.

Same here. Use to turn it on after work and I would often never turn the channel. Only watch the station if there is a live game on that interested me. Would drop the station if it wasn’t for college football.

That is awful. I wish him the best. Did it happen during practice or pre-existing? i wonder if the Raiders took Oliver we would have drafted him.

Maybe I’m being too dramatic but I think this could be the Bills most import game of the season. A loss here and I think the best they do is 9 - 7. A playoff spot is up in the air. With a win in week 1, 10 - 6 is achievable and a likely playoff spot.

The Jets probably thought the same thing in 2017 when they went up against the Bills and their new HC In week 1. Have to take the Jets very seriously.

I totally get your point and the man needs to think it through very carefully before getting married and having children. It certainly can come off the rails in a big way and there is a lot of financial exposure and unhappiness. However, your post about the woman side of things is a little insensitive. Out of all the couples I have known who have gone through a divorce it was the woman who was ripped apart and crushed by the process. It wasn’t their grand plan and they would have given anything to have it the way it was. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there are wives who are manipulative.

Consistency, getting open quickly and making big catches when we need it to keep a drive alive is not boring to me. If Zay elevates to that kind of WR we are in good shape.

I do not buy jerseys. Don’t get the opportunity to wear one. They don’t seem comfortable for everyday wear and tend to be pricey. Only will buy the occasional t shirt or hat.

My feeling is that the ball is spread around to all the receivers/TEs/RBs and that we have a diversified attack. 70/800 is good if everyone is getting touches. Edelman was 74/850 for example. That is not sad.

We have garbage now? It’s okay to like the red helmet but what we have now is clearly not garbage.

If he stays healthy I feel confident he will take it up another notch. +800 yards/70 catches/10 TDs seems like a realistic goal.

Pats uniforms are not great but they certainly are not dead last.

Same helmet. Different decals.

They are going back to a yellow face mask too. Nice upgrade.

Horrible list. Bills top 5 easily if we throw out the color rash garbage for all teams. Bengals and Bucs are the worst. Cards and Falcons are pretty bad but helmets are okay. Steelers are overrated.

Thread title does say “Buffalo Bills” and is not specific to players only. McDermott would feel the heat for sure if Allen is stagnant but I think Daboll would be fired instantly. McDermott probably gets to stick around for another year. Just my opinion.

Daboll. By a mile. If Allen and this offense flames out, not only does he get fired but he might not get a decent gig in awhile. If Allen flourishes, he could be a HC somewhere in a few years.
