I think Mahomes is going to be a star. I don't think we did bad in the trade, but given the difficulty of finding a star QB I'd much rather have Mahomes. He made a throw last week, that made my jaw literally drop. The arm strength and accuracy displayed on the play was something I don't think any other QB in the league could pull off. The throw is at 4:39. Check it out

If the lower SOS picks first, which I'm prett sure is true, than Thad Brown is also incorrect. There are other teams remaining in Wildcard weekend (Falcons & Panthers & Bills) with worse SOS's than KC's.

This is incorrect Falcons have a SOS of .521 Panthers have a SOS of .504 both are worse SOS's than the Chiefs who have...... a .576 SOS Therefore we are rooting for the Falcons and the Panthers in their wildcard games. If they lose they will be picking before the Chiefs.

Darnold is not coming out. Josh Rosen is going very high & the Bills might be interested in moving up for him. The Broncos are willing to break the bank for Kirk Cousins. The Bills are high on Mike White, QB, WKU Vikings would like to resign Keenum, Bills will be interested if he hits FA. Many more rumors in the link All of this according to Eric Galko, of optimum scouting who's usually pretty tuned in. http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/news/nfl-draft-rumors-quarterbacks-sam-darnold-baker-mayfield-josh-rosen/k2o3vl3ntwmv130v4xuwokguq

Donated $31 for the 31 points the Bengals put up to get the W and send the Bills to the playoffs!

Eric Galko‏Verified account @OptimumScouting 5m5 minutes ago More #Georgia's Jake Fromm is gonna be a top QB prospect one day (2020 NFL Draft). He's confident like Jameis was. seems I'm not the only one who thinks he has a bright future.

True freshman. Starter for Georgia, game vs. Oklahoma just about to start. Fromm caught my eye on a docuseries from go90, available to watch for free on YouTube. It followed Fromm & 2 other HS senior QBs through their senior yrs. This Fromm kid really, really impressed me in the series.....so I've been following him closely this yr. As a freshman he's not asked to do a whole lot, but I think he'll be a future star in the NFL. Wouldn't be eligible until 2020 draft I believe.

Unfortunately, no. Had the 49ers missed that long FG at the gun vs. the Titans 2 weeks ago, I think we'd get in today. Bill Belichick's midseason trade of Jimmy G will likely be the reason we miss, let that sink in.

7:24PM Titans win a close one (Bills fans bemoan) Chargers game now meaningless. 7:32PM Bills win (Bills fans rejoice) And we all turn our attention to....... 7:36PM Ravens score late and squeak past the Bengals in a game where they were down 2 scores in the 2nd half. Ravens convert a crucial 4th down on that game winning drive via a bogus Defensive Pass inteference call. (Bills fans say, "Yup this is how we like our hearts ripped out, thank you")

Vegas says the Raiders. I happen to think Cincy. I know the Ravens are on a run, and there defense is playing well, but I think they'll get a game from Cincy. We need Flacco to play a game he's capable of playing. He did not play well vs. the Colts last Sunday.

Great post. He is a slightly below average QB at best and it's been apparent for nearly 2 full seasons. Anybody who thinks he's anything more than that has no understanding of what a good QB looks like. His disappearing acts, where the offense goes into hiding for 20-40 minute stretches of a game is what happens when you have a poor QB. And let's remember the entire league agreed that Tyrod is a poor QB. All of the QB needy teams in this league....... and not one was interested in him, which is why he accepted the $10M paycut. Being near the league lead in 3 & out % in all 3 yrs. w/ him as a starter pretty much defines his time here. It's infuriating, but we've come to realize, it's who he is. A slightly below avg. QB.

"How dare fans be critical of this team that hasn't done anything in 17 years" Said the guy who has his checks signed by the Buffalo Bills. I'm shocked. I stopped listening to that show a long time ago. It's not very good, or objective. I'm the exact opposite. I'd rather listen to the guys that think and talk about the team in a more objective, data driven sense, which I find Schopp and the Bulldog's show to be. Them being negative on the team is because the team has been mostly negative for the entire time they've had their show. I think they, like all Bills fans, would love to cover a team that was contending year in and year out, but fans and media members alike don't have the ability to make "their" teams good. That's up to the Pegulas......and so far they've shown that they're totally inept.

Yea I totally disagree based off the 6 games I watched of his last yr. When he has to throw the ball 6 yards or further down the field he is not an accurate QB. The offense he ran at UNC where they threw a ton of balls at or near the LOS does not translate to the NFL. It's why yo u cant just look at a college Qbs completion %, and make assumption about accuracy. Tribusky's accuracy when he has to throw beyond 6 yards of the LOS is actually very poor.

I watched everyone of his snaps in 6 of his games his lkast season at UNC. That 68% completion % is very misleading. UNC's offense used a ton of short throws behind or at the LOS which naturally leads to a much higher percentrage for the QB. If you watch his throws beyond 5 yards in the air he is wildly inaccurate.

One of the reasons I love this forum is your posts live forever. When it comes to my 2BillsDrive history one of the things I boast about the most is the love I had for both Russel Wilson and Carson Wentz in the years leading up to their draft years. On the opposite side, 1 QB, I thought just wasn't very good was......Mitch Tribusky. He had a ton of terrible games in college....and his accuracy was bad. If you have accuracy problems in college you are toast in the pros. He will never be a good QB in thge NFL. You don't work your way into becoming more accurate as a QB. You either have it or you don't. Tribusky is in the "don't" side of the ledger. I have serious concerns about the Bills decision makers if the rumors were true that they reallly liked Tribusky.

I'm already done with the guy. That punt last week told me all I needed to know. That was a disgrace. I'll never understand for the life of me how these franchises that are worth billions and that will go to the ends of the earth to try to win ........ continually fail to give themselves the best chance of winning on Sundays by having dumb coaches making dumb decisions. I guess it boils down to the owners themselves being dumb. If I had to hire a guy to play blackjack with my money, I'd want to make sure he was playing with the right strategy. Double down when we have an 11 vs. Any dealer hand other than an Ace up. Hit the 12 vs. A dealer 2 upcard. Don't stick on your 15, when the dealer has a 7 upcard, because you had a "feeling" the dealer was going to bust. Yet when it comes to football there are about 30 owners thast are okay with their coach playing the cards incorrectly. It's baffling. Btw.....McDermott is the guy at the blackjack table that doesn't double down on his 11 vs. the dealers 6 upcard......because there's a chance he could lose twice as much. That's what his punt last week was.

Graham is in the last yr. of his deal and likely wouldn't be resigned by Buffalo. He would have to be moved in order for SEA to take on the remainder of Glenn's '17 contract. It's my opinion the Bills would also need/want a mid round draft choice as well as Graham in order to think about moving Glenn. Graham would bring additional value because he would likely get a healthy enough contract this offseason (from another team) to net the Bills a '19 compensatory pick. Probably a 5th or 6th rounder in '19 if he were to sign a deal that paid him close to $5-$6M per season. A 3rd in '18, a 6th in '19 (comp. pick) & an 8 game rental of Jimmy Graham? For Cordy Glenn? Still not sure that's enough. a 2nd rounder in '18 instead of the 3rd OR an additional mid round pick, say a 4th in '19, might convince me. BTW if the Bills were to swing such a deal, I really think they are admitting they don't think they are a playoff team this yr. Might be tough news for Bills fans, but might also be the realistic one.

This $2.99 a month paywall for Buffalo News online articles will not last. If it does it will be the end of the Buffalo News. Nobody, & I mean nobody under the age of 40 pays a monthly paywall. I understand the News needs to find ways to make $$$, but this won't be successful.

2008: started: 5-1, finished: 7-9 2011: started 4-1, finished 6-10 2012: started 2-1, finished 6-10 2016: started 4-2, finished 7-9 I'm not buying into this team, just because they are currently 3-2. If you want to, proceed with caution. My hope for this team heading into the season was that they were a better team in November and December than they are pre-Halloween. There are just way too many seasons over the last decade where we've gotten off to a nice start only to look like a totally inept, bad football team down the stretch. I hope this yr. is different, but for that to happen this offense is going to have to play a lot better than they have.

When your offense is 2nd to last in the NFL in yards per play (4.4 yards per play). And is dead last in 1st downs per play.....every game ought to worry you. The Bills are not a good football team. The offense is bottom 5 in far too many offensive statistics that I use to gauge a team's ability.

Remember the deadline is Halloween, so there is still plenty of time for a trade to culminate. The Bills are probably the ones that would leak such a story to try and drum up interest. If I had to guess the Bills are probably asking for a 3rd rounder and a young relatively unknown player on a cheap rookie deal. I do remember them wanting to sign CB, DeShawn Shead this offseason before he ended up resigning with the Seahwaks. I see he's still on the PUP. I'd be pleased with Shead and a 3rd.

If you're the least bit objective and have 2 eyeballs it's very plain to see the Bills need a QB. If all the fans sitting in the stands and watching on T.V. can see, so can Donald Jones and the players on the team. I actually had a conversation with a very prominent offensive player on the Bills about 3 weeks ago in which the Bills needing to find a QB was discussed. The player was PC and smart enough to not just come right out and say Tyrod isn't cutting it, but in a round about way that's pretty much exactly what he said. I always disagree with the......"well if you give him a good O-line, a great running game, an excellent defense, wings & a pet unicorn he might be a pretty good QB" argument. Good QB's lift the entire offense around them. That's the whole reason good QB's are good, they cover up other areas of vulnerability in the team. Tyrod hides no vulnerabilities if anything he accentuates them. That's what happens with middling QB's. Just look at what happened to the Packers today. The entire team looked like total garbage with Brett Hundley, even the coaching looked bad, because they had no confidence in him to convert 4th and shorts that they clearly should have gone for.

No. The main reason being Tyrod Taylor. He has no ability to throw the ball with any consistency. Until the Bills find a QB that opposing defenses respect/fear they will be a 6-9 win team like they've been the last decade and a half.

I've been down with Tyrod since the opener last yr. vs. the Ravens. He's a QB that will win you 6 to 9 games depending on how the ball bounces. The clunkers, like he put up today are way too frequent to consider him anything more than a placeholder. The Bills should turn to Peterman, not because we know he's better, but because we know Tyrod isn't good enough, so let's see if he can be better.

Very well said. That's exactly how I feel, and even though I felt good about 3-1, I knew this feeling was coming. Our offense is painful to watch. Tyrod is a poor QB who consistently finishes towards the top of 3 & out %. Today he had the game served up to him for a W on a silver platter and he came up so small. Today I feel just like I did in August. This is a 6-8 win team who needs to find a Qb who can see the field and throw an accurate ball.
