Ok... I’m stoned and back in what year?
2006... 2010... 2013...?
Which one was the most preposterous Forum trolling ever done about phantom accomplishments for Bills Coaches, GMs or QBs?
McDermott hasn’t accomplished jack. Has a 15% winning percentage v.s. Playoff teams of the same year!
Led the Bills to 0 Division Titles, 0 SBs, 0 AFC Championships & 0 Playoff Wins!
C’mon man....We’re laughing at you.
Laugh, laugh, I thought I'd die
It seemed so funny to me -

Man I’m glad someone said that about marv. I always thought the same thing but was scared to get roasted on here if you say anything about kelly or any of the 90’ bills. But my thing on marv was we should of never lost that super bowl against the Gmen. If marv would of sucked it up and just ran Thurman we would of won that game.
We should have won a couple of Super Bowls but Marv believed in his players too much and basically followed what they told him.

You're being naive. Look at the past 20 years in Bills history and think about it.

Sean took over a team that hadn't won anything in 17 years. January 2000 was our last play-off appearance! We all lived through it and it was UGLY. Many players and coaches couldn't make the Bills a winner despite tremendous fan support.
Now I see posts about "winning signature games" or if we lose to the Patriots it's a disaster. Crazy and stupid! It's the NFL in 2020 and most teams have a very good QB and can win against any opponent.
IMO Chuck Knox was the best coach in Bills history. He took a losing franchise to respectability and back-to-back play-off seasons. He assembled rookies and veterans to build a strong team. IF he got his indoor practice facility, an aggressive GM and a upgraded contract he might have stayed around.
Marv Levy was an ORGANIZER! Not a great head coach. He had the best team in the NFL talent wise. He refused to make 'adjustments' during a game and felt the best way to win was to let the players do it. Four Super Bowl losses should fall on him. No game planning and no adjustments. Kelly could only do so much but didn't coach the defense and a lot of his success was due to ad-lib plays and Thurman Thomas.
I respect Sean and the 'process'. It's working and Buffalo has a good, NFL competitive on the field each week. GO BILLS!

This is some good news. Activate Wallace, activate Feliciano. There's two guys who will help the lineup.
Whether Wallace starts or not, can't have too many good corners. If he's healthy, I think he will start. Norman is his competition, not Dane Jackson.
Whatever, it's good to get some guys back. Brown would be nice, too.
GOOD CORNER??

I think at this point it's over as far as him being our MLB moving forward. He has the freaky athletic ability to be a great LB but he just can't man the middle.
I was never an Edmunds fan since day one despite the big hype he got from the media. He just doesn't make plays. He didn't last year and now has a shoulder injury. I couldn't imagine that he was made the MLB and was calling defensive formations. The 2020 NFL has caught up to him.

With our injuries (now including John Brown, Cody Ford, Milano, Norman etc.) there won't be anymore 'gimme' games. The problems with the defense aren't going to disappear. You can play any schemes you want but without the overall talent that can perform within the defensive system it becomes a crap-shoot. Every game will go down to the final drives.
That includes this weeks game against the Jets. I have a feeling they will play much better then 13 point dogs. I think the Bills are under great pressure to stop the 2 game losing streak and gain respectability on Defense. Bills win late in the 4th quarter.
OK - we beat the Jets. Then the Patriots come to town and regardless of their record & QB situation Bill Belichick ( with his $35 mil personal net worth ) is still the man. He can game plan against any team and make it work. Josh will have to put up points and avoid a defensive battle. Bills win on a late FG.
The Seattle & Arizona games must be a split. Both teams have better Defensive stats. Seattle is a tough, physical team. These 2 teams play each other on Sunday night football this week. I think Arizona will lose and they'll start a downward trend. Seattle beats us and we beat Arizona.
At the Bye Week and a Bills 7-3 record, with time to heal injuries, we're on a great path to the Play-Offs.

Pro Bowl Replacement. Blake Bortles and Tyrod have made Pro Bowls, bar needs to be set higher.
Very True! When the original players can't participate for any reason the find other players with decent stats to play. It's an Agents dream.

Cover1, YardsPerPass, Lorenzo Alexander, and our own knowledgeable posters are all telling the same story on Edmunds; he is not the problem on this defense. He is in the right place, he is doing his job, and hes playing pretty well all things considered but acknowledge he has made some mistakes.
I never said "Edmunds Sucks". You're the type that over thinks a thread with a personal agenda.
I find sources like these more compelling than arguments like "Edmunds suckkssss!!!!11!!11!!!1"

1-2 depending on process ingredients. Probably 2 If we don't lose anybody and re-sign Josh to a long-term team friendly deal.
(1) DT Space Eating Monster
(2) DE who can get to the QB and sack him.
(3) LB or MLB with instincts to the ball, run stuffer who can cover the middle of the field, especially TE's.
(4) TE who catches the ball, can make the contested catch and block.
(5) RB with breakaway speed (dual threat out of the backfield preferred)
(6) G that can maul and pass block.
(7?) CB2 (good cover corner who can hit and stay with another WR2 without giving up too many big plays
That's 3 gaping holes on offense and 4 on defense. If you hit 50% of the draft picks in Rounds 1-4, you still need to get quality FA and not journeymen to come in and MAKE AN IMPACT. For the money we spent on the DL, we could have retained our own and built continuity on defense. Butler, Jefferson and Addison need to step up now.
The 3 names you mention in your post have either been overrated as Free Agents or don't mix well with the players currently on the roster.

Um, no. I'm the one who called him out, and I took great pains to - twice - tell everyone they should read the whole thing. Gave the link, twice. (Mods later found another link which is somewhat different, but has overall the same slant.)
Whereas he didn't give the link at all, or indicate that he was only giving a small, biased part of the story. That's why the mods went to his OP and put in the link themselves.
And you're cherrypicking just as much as him. Again picking one or two of the few negative things and pretending that it's "the rest of the report, " which is just flat-out wrong. The rest of the report does indeed say the things you say, but also things like this:
"Explosive when working downhill, especially in the run game. Sets a good, hard edge against the run, especially in goal line and short yardage.Tackling is strong, especially for such a young player and particulary in space. Closes nicely from depth and hits his targets. Scrapes down the line, keeps his balance and can shed blocks on the move. Wraps up and closes the deal with his condor wingspan and good burst. Rarely whiffs, and at the very worst he can slow down ballcarriers for others to finish off the play."
The thing to do is give both sides of the story. When you give only one, you're saying more about yourself and your prejudices than you are about the guy you're writing about.
I have NO PREJUDICES about Edmunds. I wish he was great and played up to the positives in his scouting report. The fact is - he hasn't and the negatives appear to be true.

Should go outside.. Think you bring in a true MLB, re-sign Milano to a 1 year prove it deal and onward we go.. I don’t think Edmunds has the brains nor toughness or nastiness to play inside and I don’t trust him to get our defense lined up in the right spots.. Not physical enough to be an enforcer in this defense.. Could have value as an outside LB.. has done a pretty good job using his speed to blitz off the edge.. Could be an asset as a coverage guy especially against some of the better TEs around the league.. He has value, he’s just playing out of position and behind a porous DL.. Not saying he’ll be great as an outside guy either, his responsibilities need to be dumbed down and the game simplified for him..
He did have the lowest Wonderlic score of LB's in his draft class.

I'm sorry to upset you. The point of the post is about what we are seeing on the field now - -2020 - -not what he COULD do in the NFL!

I don't get the animosity towards you for posting this thank you. I think it sounds just about right to what we see.
Thank You. I think people want him to be a stud LB and that's not the case. I wish it was!
12 hours ago, DCofNC said:Hysterical part is the rest of the report still tells everything we have seen, he’s a reactor, not anticipatory, wraps with his long arms and slows the guy down, IE backler , not tackler. Notable the author says he can scream off the corner if he’s not touched and he would need pass rush moves to play OLB more, good for coverage not a run stopper. So as much as the OP is taking crap for cherry picking, the rest only proves everyone else is trying to cherry pick the good parts and don’t understand what’s there anyway.
Thank You!

It's been 3 years since this report. I don't see any improvement in his play - - maybe dropping off. What do you think?

Gap integrity looks like that of a 19-year old. Will take the wrong gap and watch runners go where he should have been. Eyes get too big — gets greedy and will overplay the ball. Takes on blockers at poor angles and gets cleaned out of plays. Has to key better on OL movement and diagnose run plays just a hair faster. Doesn’t use his hands well enough at this point to stack and shed interior OL blocks. Can get blown up by crack-back blocks — must do better job of keeping head on a swivel.
Instincts are still developing in coverage — prone to getting fooled by play action and misdirection and will have trouble locating the ball at times. Sometimes gets lost in space. Plays too shallow sometimes and doesn’t cut off enough of the field.
Still developing physically, too. Carries his weight well but needs to add take-on strength. Isn’t a Brandon Spikes-type of linebacker and could add a little more nastiness as a hitter.

The Bills lost to the Chiefs on a raw, rainy Monday night in Orchard Park, 26-17. The Bills are now 4-2, a game ahead of the Dolphins in the AFC East, and they look like they’re headed to the middle of the NFL pack.
We tend to want to make definitive statements about teams – “they’re good,” “they’re bad,” “they’re building” – but the most that can be said today about the Bills is that they are evolving. It’s survival of the fittest in the NFL, and if the Chiefs game is any indication, the Bills need to adapt.
What happened in the NFL in the early part of the 2020 NFL season is now clear: Several teams, including the Bills, were able to throw the ball all over the field, any time they wanted, wherever they wanted. It was exciting, but we should have realized it wasn’t going to last. Teams adjusted. The adjustment was to play coverage; keep one or two safeties back, flood the defensive backfield with defenders. Defenses said “you will NOT beat us with that passing game. You may beat us some other way, but not throwing the ball like that.” The Raiders did it to the Chiefs last week, the Titans did it to the Bills, everyone’s doing it to the Cowboys.
The Bills did it to the Chiefs, and the Chiefs did it to the Bills. Each said to other, “Find a different way to win.” If you can’t win throwing, all that’s left is running. Running means controlling the line of scrimmage. The Chiefs totally controlled the line of scrimmage against the Bills. The Chiefs found a way to win. The Bills need to adapt.
There’s not much to say about the game that wasn’t obvious to anyone who saw it, but I’ll give you my take aways.
1. The front four was dominated by the Chiefs all night. The game film could be used as a training film for offensive linemen. It truly was a clinic. It wasn’t simply that the Chiefs over-powered the Bills; they out-finessed the Bills. They knew exactly how the Bills defense attacked the run, and they took advantage of the Bills strategy. Chiefs linemen consistently took the correct angles to create running lanes, and there was nothing the Bills could do about it. Every upcoming opponent will see it on film. The Bills have to adapt, quickly, or they will get run over.
2. Edmunds made some poor decisions in the middle, often getting caught in the wash, choosing bad angles, but it’s tough to blame much on him. He led the team in tackles, primarily because it would have been hard not to – running backs were coming at him all night.
3. Singletary and Moss would have gone for over 200 yards running behind the Chiefs’ offensive line; unfortunately, they had to run behind the Bills line. It was tough yardage all night. It’s easy to tell when the Bills running game isn’t working – they resort to running Josh Allen. When Allen gets designed runs, it means Brian Daboll has run out of answers. Allen led the team in rushing, not because he had a couple of 30-yard scrambles, but because he took the pounding that running backs ordinarily are asked to take. That’s not a formula for success.
4. Despite the numbers, Allen wasn’t bad passing. Yes, he missed badly on a couple of throws early in the game. (Troy Aikman was classic. He blamed the early misses on the reeemergence of Allen inaccuracy, but as soon as Mahomes, the golden boy, missed badly, it was because of the weather.) After the early misses, Allen had bad drops by Brown and Kroft, and then he got going. He threw two spectacular deep balls to Diggs, one that almost drew a penalty and one that did. His touchdown pass to Diggs was a pinpoint throw after a good scramble out of the pocket. In fact, Allen worked well in the pocket all night, avoiding the rush and finding the right targets His inteception was a desperation throw with the clock running out. The Bills still have their franchise quarterback.
5. The Bills didn’t play with the poise that Sean McDermott expects of his team. The successive unnecessary roughness penalties from White and Poyer were surprising, two veterans trying to fire up their team with physical play, two veterans out of control. Diggs taking a penalty after dawdling back to the line of scrimmage late in the game was ominous; the first sign this season of the Diggs who frustrated the Vikings.
6. And yet, with all that went wrong, with all that was so disappointing, the Bills were in this football game from start to finish. They were the lovable losers of the Dick Jauron era. The Bills scored first. The Bills escaped the first half down only three (and would have been tied, but for Bass’s bad misfire on the last play). They held the Chiefs to a field goal in the second half when a TD would have ended the game. They answered immediately with a six-play 75-yard drive to get back within 6. That was not a garbage-time score; that was the time of the game when Andy Reid asked his team to win the game with a stop; instead, the Bills blew away the Chiefs for the score. Then the Bills forced a fumble, and for thirty seconds, until we saw the replay, it seemed like the Bills would steal the win, despite the Chiefs’ dominance. The fumble was overturned, the Chiefs marched downfield one more time and kicked the field goal to end it.
The Bills must adapt. On the fly.
GO BILLS!!!
The Rockpile Review is written to share the passion we have for the Buffalo Bills. That passion was born in the Rockpile; its parents were everyday people of western New York who translated their dedication to a full day’s hard work and simple pleasures into love for a pro football team.
not to criticize - but - I can read the same thing in the Buffalo News (out of town for you) and on ESPN News. Get us something spectacularly different.

Well the flip side of that coin is you don't get two, and need a td and extra point just to tie, not to win.
It was the right call to go for 1. Get a stop, score a Td, and take the lead.
I'm fine with the decision.
Me too! This was started in the Buffalo News today when a columnist questioned the decision - - not an original thought!

Coaching is what's wrong with this defense. The sooner McD starts doing the defensive gameplan and starts calling the defense the better they will be, Frazier sucks, always has.
I respect your opinion but have to disagree. It's the lack of talent at the DT's position. The 3 new guys were never anything special during their careers. You can't coach-up players that don't have it!

We all have to get realistic about the Bills & NFL. We are the lovable (?) losers who can't beat the better teams regardless of coaching or players.

why would any team want him? He's just an OK player and now trying to play through a difficult injury from last season.
