[Giants interview Schoen for their GM job [Edit: Now hired by Giants as GM]]

I think the Giants will be announcing their GM decision today, and I think it will be Schoen, from what I hear. If not, then Peters. I am wondering if they would bring in Trubisky, if Daboll is brought along too as HC, but that would be speculation for the latter two mentioned.

I was thinking the same thing. Makes sense for everyone!

[For those who went to the Washington Game, how was the Vaccination Verification Process?]

My family is coming up to the Texans game and I want to make sure we are prepared for stadium entry.  I know that you can bring your vaccination card, but did anyone use the Clear App?  Also, did they check your ID to see if it matched the vaccination information?

 

Any insight would be helpful

Quick and easy!

 

[Do you trust this Front Office?]

In contrast to remembering back to the days of Donahoe and Modrak (probably over 10 years worth of head scratching) and knowing full well that (this board) would have picked a better draft...I have way more faith in the current regime:)

[The Bills 2020 Draft in Perspective]

I'm just reflecting on how life as a Bills fan has changed.   

 

We suffered through 15 years of NFL drafts, in my case foolishly hoping that some name that the Bills selected in the first round or maybe the second would make the team good.   Think of the all the unreasonable expectations people put on Manuel, on Gilmore, on Maybin, on Dareus, on Sammy, on McGahee, on Lynch.   It went on, year after year.   You may have been excited about this choice or disappointed about that choice, but every year there was this unreasonable hope, this expectation, that we were witnessing the beginning of greatness.  

 

Viewed from the perspective of those years, the Bills' 2020 draft was an enormous disappointment.   No first round pick (remember 2005, when Aaron Rodgers could have become a Bill?), an edge player whom no one expects to be a Kahlil Mack or Von Miller, a running back who's too short and too slow to be a stud, a wideout left over after a bumper crop of wideouts was drafted, a back-up quarterback, a kicker, for Pete's sake, a too slow receiver and a corner back who lasted to the seventh round.   Are you kidding?   We're supposed to be excited about that?   We missed out on all the good quarterbacks, all the good offensive linemen, all the good receivers, some stud defensive backs.   What kind of draft is this?

 

Well, when you have your franchise quarterback, you get a backup QB in your draft every few years.   When you have a really good defense, a role-playing defensive end is just what you need.   When you already have a starting running back and you can get another guy to share the load without having to be a star in his own right, you do it.   When you gave up your first pick to get top-end wideout, you can afford to let the cream of the crop go to other teams who are desperate to generate offense.  

 

The national press seems to be giving the Bills As and Bs for the 2020 draft.   In years gone by, they would have blasted, absolutely blasted the Bills for being so clueless.   Where are the impact players, the diamonds in the rough?   Well, when you're good, they're already on the team.  

 

I spent 20 years looking forward to the time when the Bills would be good.   In part, I looked forward to how exciting it would be.   In fact, the only exciting time is when the Bills are on the field.   The draft and free agency have turned out to be the most boring parts of the year.   Not unimportant, but not all that exciting, either.  

 

Go Bills!!!

For many many years our fanbase could have done better at the draft than the highly paid "professionals" (The Modraks and alike) The new group has earned my patience and respect and feel like we are FINALLY moving in the correct direction...GO Bills!
