Yes. For example, here are Mel Kipers Bills pick for the past 10 years, and who the Bills actually took (in parenthesis). 2013: Jonathon Cooper (EJ Manuel) 2014: Taylor Lewan (Sammy Watkins) 2015: No pick 2016: Emmanuel Ogbah (Shaq Lawson) 2017: Haason Reddick (Tre White) 2018: Tremaine Edmunds, Lamar Jackson (Tremaine Edmunds, Josh Allen) 2019: Jonah Williams (Ed Oliver) 2020: No pick (Diggs) 2021: Tyson Campbell (Groot) 2022: Kaiir Elam (Elam) Outside of Lamar Jackson over Josh Allen, is there any real difference here between an amateur mock drafter and a professional GM? Tre White is probably the best non-Josh-Allen pick in the last 10 years and he had us taking Reddick, who was an all-pro last year, and the pick we traded to drop down to #27 was the pick KC used on Mahomes. So.. yeah.. not ideal. Summary: Bills have drafted no better than amateur mock drafters for the past 10 years (and longer, but I didn't feel like spending time going back any further).

And yet, many posters have done a better job picking players than the Bills have over the last 20 years. If the Bills just went by the national player rankings the last 20 years, we likely have a better team for much of that time.

All Gunner's Draft Stuff.... 2023 Edition!!!
Einstein replied to GunnerBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'm convinced the Bills are going to take some tiny WR in the first round and ruin my draft night. -

Now that is solid info!

Yep. Difference is that Favre didn’t go to a Jets team with a great RB, exciting young WR, and best defense in the NFL.
-
I have colleagues that can pull hot woman in the bar after 10pm. I can’t. Looking at their great track record doesn’t help my misfortune. Beane has shown himself incapable of drafting great players in the 2nd. Doesn’t matter what other GM’s have done.
-
Wouldn’t be shocked at all if they make a run for the SB. That defense is scary good. Unlike the Bills top 5 defenses that have been a lot of smoke and mirrors, the Jets defense is the real deal. They don’t even need HOF Rodgers. They just need “slight above average” Rodgers. Jets lost 7 games last season where they scored 12 of less points. They lost 5 games where the Jets defense gave up 20 or less points. If Rodgers just is average. Scores 20 points per game. The Jets will be extremely hard to beat.

If you’re spent, you don’t think a week off would help? That’s basically the entire benefit of the 1st seed.
-
Wish they did it in 2022. We would have had the 1 seed
-
No other way around it, this blows. They have an incredible defense. Great RB. Exciting young WR. And now a HOF QB. If Rodgers can just put up 20 points per game, that’s a playoff team.
-
Right on. You missed the worst part though - It’s filthy. I own a home in Florida and fly down there often. I avoid the Orlando airport as much as possible. Tampa (TPA) is significantly better. If you fly private, KORL is fine.

I started a “hey ey ey” chant in the hot dog shop on main st In Disney World a few years back and it’s one of my favorite memories. A loud “ey ey ey” echoed back. I imagine that you would be cringing

DHopkins would cost a 2nd round pick...would you do it?
Einstein replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'd trade ANY of Beanes 2nd round pick for Dhop. That's Cody Ford, AJ Epenesa, Basham, and Dalvins family member. -
Sean McDermott excited about calling the Defense

This strategy, statistically, is proven to result in many many years of "always the bridesmaid and never the bride". Oh, and wasted franchise QB careers. -
Sean McDermott excited about calling the Defense
Einstein replied to Sierra Foothills's topic in The Stadium Wall
There was Marty, who was fired after a 14-2 season. And Pederson, who was fired 2 years after winning the Super Bowl. Also Dungy, who was fired after making the playoffs but losing in the wild card round. Or Nagy, who was fired 2 years after going 12-4 and winning Head Coach of the Year. In fact, 9 of the last 15 Head Coach of the Year have been fired. I think McDermotts ice is thinner than most realize. Are they ridiculous expectations though? History and statistics are on our (the pessimists) side. Of the 33 head coaches to win at least one Super Bowl, 29 of them won their first Super Bowl within the first five seasons with that team. Meaning, McDermott would have to buck history. Defy statistics. He would have to fit within the 12% of coaches who have done it after five years of being with the team. -
The SB losses were a low blow, but aside from that, Shady is right.
-
Same. Kind-of on Shady’s side here.

Einstein replied to Sierra Foothills's topic in The Stadium Wall
I could say the same to you, no? The only evidence you have is McDermott not admitting it more than once. . -

Einstein replied to Sierra Foothills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Thats literally called circumstantial evidence. Entire cases have been won on circumstantial evidence such as “the camera saw the defendants car driving on the same road the victim was later found”. Just like your “the coach only admitted it once and therefore it is once” claim. Actually, that argument is a logical fallacy - a mixture of appeal to ignorance and hasty generalization. . -

The media has asked him about it since. So they’ve seen it. And if you go on Twitter and search, thousands of other fans have seen it. I think you meant to say; “Well, I didn’t see it!” -
