    I can't bring myself to revel in moral victories and what ifs.   

     

    The Chiefs beat the Bills both times, have won back to back Super Bowls.  Meanwhile, the Bills have yet to reach the Conference Championship.  

    Saying that the Bills are the closest team to the Chiefs isn't claiming a moral victory, it's just the reality. 

     

    Nobody is reveling in anything, at least I'm not. 

     

  2. Analytics guys seem to have loved this signing.

     

    Matt Harmon of reception perception loves this move, I'm not saying his word is gospel, but he was right about Diggs too when we traded for him.

  3. If you want a guy who can take the top off of a defense, this draft is absolutely full of them.  Running mostly straight and fast is one of the easiest things a WR can do. That's Hollywood Brown, and he's really not shown much else since being traded.

     

    Know what this draft isn't full of? Deebo-like Curtis Samuel types. The Chiefs were in on him too. Brown is the consolation prize.

    The Bills, nor any other team in the league, are not the Chiefs.  It's painfully obvious.

    The Bills are the closest thing to the Chiefs in the entire NFL and the salt from the losses is clouding your judgement. 

     

    They've barely squeaked past us the last two playoff matchups. If the Bills were in the NFC it would be a Bills v. Chiefs Superbowl 3 out of the last 4 years.

    In all seriousness , take a look at the active roster, and then tell me if you still think they “should go all offense.”

    I understand, but I’d rather have a stellar offense with a middling defense then a balanced offense and defense.

     

    McDermott is supposed to be a defensive guru, so he should be able to do more with less. Otherwise what’s the point?

  6. Anyone who isn’t happy with this signing probably only watches Bills games.

     

    Samuel has produced with straight up trash at QB. Davis has a better statline, but only because he has a great game every 4th game. Samuel is way more consistent.

     

    We raised the floor at WR2 but we didn’t box ourselves into a “Don’t draft a WR because we invested too much in FA”

  7. Shorter won’t even make the team, I’d put money on it. 
     

    In the modern NFL you can never have too many premium receivers. It’s the 2nd or 3rd most important position on the team.

     

    They should go all offense in the draft, I’d rather surround Allen with big talent potential then waste picks on D Line rotations and bend don’t break mentality.

    Was Harris a 1 year deal?  Thought it was a two but I could be mistaken.

    I could have sworn there was reports that Harris thinking of retiring after that injury, but yes he was a 1 year deal.

    Yep! Can even say the same about James Cook

    You can say the same about everyone except for Diggs, honestly.

    I'm getting the sense OBD has no sense of urgency to improve this offseason. Stay the course and hope we're luckier this year won't do it I'm afraid.

    This is a ridiculous statement this early into FA and without seeing what we do in the draft. 

     

    Is there some FA RB you'd rather have that'll be around the same price as Johnson?  I can't think of any.

    The Bills have 11 picks, they need to double down on wr.

     

    They selected Chris Burkett in the 2nd before selecting Andre Reed in the 4th.

     

    They also took James Hardy in the 2nd before taking Stevie Johnson in the 7th.

     

    2 WRs by the end of the 4th would increase the odds of having someone ready to step in and contribute on the outside.

     

     

    I know it's sort of crazy strategy wise, but I hope there's an appetite in the Bills draft room for drafting a R1 WR and then doing it again in R2. 

     

    We did it with EDGE a few years ago and it didn't work out, but it feels way more necessary with WR honestly.

    I like this signing if he's wr 6 and we draft a #2 outside and a multi-functional slot / outside receiver to backup Shakir. 

     

    I gotta believe this is the plan, although he might be higher than 6 depending how Shorter / Hamler / other later round rookie WRs pan out.

    In that case why bother paying a guy a penny more than you need to. Back to my argument that you should’ve the 1-2m from each of these vets your signing and pick some FA rookies off the street and pay them half as much. All while saving a million here and a million there. So then, maybe, if a decent vet is there that might actually make a difference, you can sign him to 6-8m. I’d rather have 5 scrubs at rookie minimum and 1 vet that’s decent on a prove it deal than 6 scrub vets that won’t make a difference. That’s just me I guess. 

    The difference here being that he is a proven special teamer, which this team values (arguably overvalues). 

     

    I get what you're saying though and I do think that's a valid argument to be made. 

  13. This kind of stuff is pretty common.

     

    The phins are getting Jordan Poyer likely at the lowest point in his career.  The guy was serviceable but you could see how many steps he lost through the season. 

     

    Good luck to him, he's going to need it with the exodus of young talent from Miami's defense.

    You specifically stated WR and someone at Mack Collins level isn't good enough to play on a contending team.

    You then were given an example of a Super Bowl winning team with multiple WR's and Mack Collins level and below.  

    This isn't that difficult and multiple people have commented on it.

     

    The GOAT receiver and GOAT QB had the Chiefs at 15th in points scored at 23.1 ppg.  

     

    Can you tell us all again how McD doesn't play rookies?  

    I appreciate you taking up the mantle here and fighting the good fight, but it's clear that some people want to be mad at the Bills for the sake of being mad.

    I’ll take youth over the Mack Hollins types. I would rather an undrafted rookie free agent filling out the final WR spot.

    Totally fair and I can see that side of it too.
