  1. Bills will have to make do with who they have.  If Beane loves him some Edmunds and/or Oliver then absolutely no money for a rush end.  Maybe he uses the 1st on an end while the offense sputters? My prediction is that Frazier/McDermott will be loath to adjust scheme and personnel but ultimately will have to as they are not going to get consistent pressure with the four they're able to field - at least not until Miller comes back 90%.

    Then they are not committed. 

    I too want OL improvement, but I think they can do that without a higher 1st round pick. If they pick OL in the 1st, I'd have it be at their current position and only if there wasn't better value at receiver.  Arguably, the Bills' issue will be more is their talent assessment than whether they get linemen in the (example) 1st and 3rd or 2nd and 4th.

  3. The regular season feels about one game too long.

    Two teams per conference should have 1st round playoff byes.

    Any insertion of politics makes me tune out.

    Sterile, serious, PC culture instead of cheerleaders and Spuds McKenzie. The whole NFL and game coverage is just soooo serious.

    Insultingly stupid sideline reporter questions and Chris Collinsworth being a fanboy.

    Making the run game obsolete.

    While thinking about this, not sure if that much would be needed to fix the oline for next year.

     

    LT Dawkins

    LG Bates

    C Morse

    RG Seumalo eagles FA target

    RT Move up for Broderick Jones in the first round of the draft.

    Perhaps this and a plan for when Morse gets concussed.

  5. I thought Rihanna did OK.  Clean look.  Show looked well-rehearsed.  Besides Prince and Bruce, I've never expected a top-level musical performance.  I expect more of a visual show than a memorable musical performance.

     

    Commercials had a bit of the usual "try hard" vibe.  Biggest objective there is not to offend anybody.  Gone are the days of whimsical humor and pretty women.  I miss you Spuds!

  6. I can't see taking interior OL in the first. 1st round is for WR, DE, CB where elite speed and twitchy athleticism can best be found. Fine with Rd 2 and after. 1st round also for securing a player on a 5 (vs 4) year rookie contract. That all shifts a bit if there isn't the value in the position when you pick. 

     

    For late picks, give me raw athletes and coach them up. No Luke Tenutas.

     

    Also, I'm not impressed by the G/T combo player thing so much. Completely fine with a guy that is strictly a guard/center and knows his role. 6'7" but gets blown up does nothing for me.

    It's probably naïve to think McD didn't consult with Allen about who he wanted and Allen himself said he wanted Dorsey so can you really blame him?

    Next year McDermott needs to spell a few things out to Dorsey who needs to spell a few things out to Josh. Not the time for hands off coaching and being grab-ass beer buddies. This of course after Beane brings in WR, OL and Pegula tells McDermott to be better at playing the young talent. Now I'm just rambling.

    While I know that McD was never leaving as our HC, nor am I calling for it, I still think about the rift between him and McD in the final year.  

     

    With Dorsey's alleged struggles, and our inability to find a solid WR2 on the team, the Hodgins thing bothers me more.  We weren't so flush with talent that cracking our depth chart was hard.  Hell, we brought back Beasley and Smoke.  So how did we miss on the opportunity that Hodgins was so badly?

     

    I don't know, maybe I'm just bitter.  

    Doesn't bother me. If it sheds light on Bills organizational problems then that's useful.

    Mine are Locked On Bills with Joe Marino and One Bills Live. I also like Mike Catalano a lot. Also, Arthur Moats has a Bills podcast on YouTube now.

    There are also a few very weak podcasts as well, but I won't mention names.
    Do you have a favorite(s)? Which one(s) and why?

    Locked on Bills for overall. Cover 1 for more detailed discussions.  

     

    I liked Sal but he's become too close to the Bills and no longer can be objective. 

  10. The truth rarely lies at the extremes.

     

    Some take great offense at ANY  criticism of Josh, Edmunds, coaches, etc. - kind of like a simp defending their expensive OnlyFans girlfriend.  Others sit in a perpetual hate pit and want everyone gone - nobody has any redeeming qualities.

     

    With practice, you learn to skip the posts or replies from the chronic offenders.

    I believe McDs strategy of rotating defensive linemen is actually part of the problem with the pass rush. The Bills have had a plethora of guys trying to get to the QB over the last five years. The common denominator is that none of them has been allowed to develop a pattern or set anything up because they’re constantly being shuffled in and out. The theory is that they’ll be fresh. That theory has now been proven to have just as much down side as it does ‘advantages’. (And this says nothing about how much draft capital you have to spend to actually get this to work.)

    Arguably, you're committing to 8 starting level D linemen to play this rotational scheme while at the same time you only have 4 starting level O linemen.

  12. McDermott can talk about growth mindset, but it also needs to apply to defensive coaching be that McDermott, Frazier, or both.  If Leslie simply said,

     

    "There will be adjustments in our defensive philosophy.  We need to be more flexible to counter the offense in front of us on any given play.  We recognize that our zone concepts and style of play can be exploited at times - especially if we're being stubborn.  The Cincinnati game was a prime example."

     

    That would help my enthusiasm.
