    Just playing scenarios here and still hope we move up to get a qb.  But what if OBD thinks price is too steep to move up to #1 or #2 to get ahead of jets. I dont think its to bad staying at 12 and doing something like this.

    12. Edmunds or smith - LB

    22. Lamar Jackson - QB

    53. James Daniels - C

    56. Chirstian Kirk - WR

    65. Tim Settle - DT

     

    I would be really happy with this.  Have lamar and aj in camp and battling it out.

     

    If we don't move up, this appears to be a very good draft with a lot of good to potentially great players.  

     

    We saw what they Jets did to move up to 3.  Two second rounders and a second next to move from 6 to 3.  

     

    What would we need to move up to 2?  12, 22, 56 and a second rounder next season?

    Reading b/w the lines...

     QB Position:

    • Clearly,  they're going BIG game hunting. They want a terrific young  Franchise  QB (as evidence with all the draft capital), that can not just win games, but win championships!! 
    • They also want a valued backup (Phily being the copycat in a copycat league). Sure you'll  here names like Bradford, Keenum, but someone like McCown or Matt Moore are probably the guys that will backup. Bradford probably wants to start, same with Keenum, but the main  thing here is which QB takes the least amount of money,  which means probably Moore or McCown.

     

    How do they  get into the top 5??:

    • 1 of 2 ways. If Cleveland takes Barkely @1, (which I predict they will) then the Giants, IMHO, will give serious consideration  to Buff trade. Deal is NY Giants get: 21, 22, 53, 2019 3rd, & Cordy Glenn  OR.... Indy gets:  21, 22, 53, 65, 2019 2nd

     

    Draft??

    • The way we look at it, we give up ALOT, but it's still a normal draft. We have picks in the 1st,  2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th round. We may loose a future 2, 3, or maybe even a 1, but with the trade of Glenn we will have alot of cap room in 2019 to fill in  those holes/picks. Not to mention we'll obtain at least 2, possibly more comp picks for guys like Gaines, P.Brown, if they walk. 

     

    Free Agency:

    • No big names, but they'll try WR, but IMO, the market is way too high, which is why I think they'll target DJ Moore, or Anthony Miller in the 2nd round. Probably fill Preston Brown role with a guy like Avery Williamson. I think  they'll also  try to find a FA off lineman. 

     

     

     

     

    If we move into the 2 or 3 spot, I think your right, that's probably what we are going to have to offer to take the Rosen, Allen or Mayfield.  It gets interesting if the Browns take Barkley at 1 instead of Darnold.  

    A Few Thoughts about the Dolphins Game

    Please forgive the lateness and general form in which this was put together.  I watched the game at a bar, took on a bowl challenge, may have thrown up, and then had to wait to make the 90 minute drive home.  Then I saw the end of the Pats game and threw up again.  With that....

     

    1 - Tyrod - If ever there were a game of Tyrod being Tyrod.  Great first half.  Some great throws, some terrible throws.  Good use of his legs to escape certain sacks as well as get some first downs.  The biggest question about Tyrod I have is:  What happened to his deep ball?  At the beginning of his career here, his deep ball ability was second to his scrambling ability.  Now, his deep throws don't seem to have a chance and usually end up out of bounds.  I'm happy we are taking shots deep and I know it's a low percentage play anyways, but his accuracy deep is concerning.

     

    2 - McDermott - Playing a Dolphins team that just beat the Pats and have looked good as of late, this team showed up strong.  That was easily our best first half of football this season and the game felt relatively in control until the last few minutes.  In a game where we could have done very Billsy things, we didn't.  What's interesting to me is the aggressive play call we had this week vs last week against the Colts.  We go from punting in OT with 4 minutes left to going for it on 4th and 7 and almost 4th and 1.  I'm actually happy about the Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalty against Groy at the end so that we'd kick for 3.  It's interesting to see this guy learn as he goes and ultimately I'm believing he'll be our head coach for a years to come.  

     

    3 - Shady - 10k on the way to 12k.  I've said this in previous weeks, but it's almost too easy to take Shady for granted.  Our offense lives and dies with this man, so it should be no surprise that 2 of our first 3 TDs were thanks to him.  When we extended him after the trade, I was worried about his ability to produce 3 years into the deal.  I was so very wrong.  Shady is the heart of our team, is a spectacle on the field, and I hope he retires a Bill.

     

    4 - Before all the fireworks exploded
    Our conversations were so loaded, innuendo flying
    Now what can we say?
    Have a nice day
    Looks like rain today...

     

    5 - Cornerback depth - I know that this will make a few people want to throw up on here, but we need to draft or sign more DB's in the offseason.  Our pass coverage drops off dramatically when EJ Gaines leaves the field.  Johnson is a liability in coverage and our 3 game losing stream occurred when we were down 1 of our 2 starters.  I'm not blaming it on solely that, but the defensive play changes immediately.  We need to shore the depth up here.

     

    6 - Defensive Containment/Tackling - If there's one thing that worries me the most about next weeks game against the Pats and our 2nd biggest issue on defense, it's the poor tackling and holding to our zones on defense containment.  So many big plays today were because of poor angles and bad tackling.  The Pats live off of taking advantage of these mistakes and we will get crushed if we keep that up.  I can't even count the number of plays I thought were stopped in the backfield only to have it be turned up downfield for a big gain.

     

    7 - Pass Rush - This has been the biggest issue for me this season and I'm happy to see Frazier making adjustments.  We aren't sending extra blitzers a lot, but it's more than we were.  Our front 4 got pressure on more than a few plays, while also almost creating a few turnovers by knocking the ball out of Cutler's hand.  Cutler's internal timer was going off all day and one of the main reasons we had our 3 turnovers.

     

    8 - White - Is anyone else in contention for Defensive Rookie of the Year?  I had very little opinion of him when drafted but wow.  This kid plays like a seasoned veteran and I was happy he ended up with the game sealing INT.  He almost made a beautiful interception in the endzone by reading and cutting on a play perfectly.  No matter what happens this season, White is a true standout and positive from this season.

     

    9 - Rivalry? - Does anyone else enjoy having the feeling of a rivalry again with the Dolphins.  I know that neither of us are really relevant in the big picture NFL, but I love to hate these guys.  Hating the Pats does nothing but make you drink.  But you can see the residuals from the Aaron Williams hit last year.  These guys really don't like each other and it was evident earlier.  I'm actually really disappointed in the Refs for not paying more attention to the after-play action.  We need to play smarter, but a lot of unsportsmanlike penalty calls (and blatant holds) weren't called today on the fish.

     

    10 - Control - Two weeks left and we are in control of our own destiny.  Yes, we've been here before but we weren't supposed to be here this year.  It's been a very up and down ride but it feels good to think about where we are and what's coming up.  We have a head coach, a base of players, a lot of picks, and money to spend.  The BBFS in me says I'll probably regret saying this, but things might finally be looking up, regardless of how this season ends. 

     

    All I want for Christmas is a Win over the Pats and broken Brady face.

     

    Go Bills!!!!

     

    Good write up Virgil.  I'm interested to see how well our secondary can contain Gronkowski next week.  Hope we can pull one out next week.

    Its really tough sometimes, the really good teams find a way to battle through it and win more than lose.

    Congrats to SAMMY. This is the best thing that could happen for him. The bills organization is always making the wrong decisions. This trade only makes sense for the head coach and the GM. They now have a full five years to make excuses for putting out a bad football team. This team was a good defense away from being in the playoffs last year. The ownership group does not know what they are doing. I will not be wasting my time watching this team this year or next. You guys can now get excited about the draft for the next two years. How did I get hooked on cheering for a Loser like the Bills?

     

    Bills fans are loyal and will be there through thick and thin.

    Bills trade Sammy Watkins to Rams for CB Gaines, 2nd rd pick

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Just heard on Murph. Holy freaking cow

     

    The Sammy Watkins trade makes sense strictly for financial reasons despite his amazing talent when healthy. The Bills didn't pick up his option/contract extension for next year and the years ahead. The Bills will have to look for another WR next year in the draft. It's official that trade for Sammy years back is now considered really bad for us.

     

    The one that is kinda interesting and not sure about is the Ronald Darby trade. Wonder why they are getting rid of Darby.

    So When Do We Project to Be a Playoff Team?

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    After the trade down yesterday, I think it's clear that Bills management doesn't think it'll happen in 2017. If they'd thought this team was close, they'd have used that #10 overall to find a clear upgrade at an obvious position of need.

     

    So what is the target year now? When could the Bills reasonably project as a 9.5 win (or so) team; that is, a team that is expected/is more likely than not to be in the playoffs? Not as in, "we project as a 7-9 team, but if a bunch of bounces go our way we could sneak into the playoffs at 9-7."

     

    2018: they've pretty much signaled that Tyrod is a one year bridge (again) in 2017, and there'll be a new QB in 2018. You wouldn't be stockpiling picks for 2018 expecting to win with rookies right away. Plus you've got some big contracts for aging players in their decline phases still on the books. So ... no. Not yet.

     

    2019? I'd guess that McD (not Whaley) thinks this is when he'll have to start showing results. Start showing results, as in "got out from under some of the bad decisions of the Whaley era, and started showing a new core of players that's ready to take the next step."

     

    That brings me to 2020 ... I guess all of that could change if we somehow grab a Garoppolo or Cousins and he turns out to be the QB of our dreams, but that seems unlikely. 2020 it is!

     

    EDIT: maybe this has something to do with how long they think Brady will last? The recent moves strike me as going into full rebuild mode but being afraid to admit it.

     

    Sounds about right. When Brady retires that's when we will be ready to pounce. Still need to load up. Would like to see us get Greg Robinson today to play RT from day one.

    What needs to happen in 2017

    1. Defensive improvement namely at the safety position

    2. Bring back Tyrod and have a healthy Watkins

    3. Not allow a 200 yard rusher during the year

    4. Have 11 men on the field for every play.

    5. Find another receiving threat on offense (WR or 2nd TE to pair with Clay)

    6. Stay Healthy

     

     

    Looks about right. If we switch the the 4-3 then I would probably add another defensive tackle.

    Vote on firing Rex

    Are you kidding me does everyone want more of the same next year :wallbash::thumbdown::bag:

     

     

    Bills fans are suckers.

     

    A win against the Browns and some are reconsidering. Lol.

     

     

    I voted to fire him after the season. Time to move on. We are not making the playoffs.

     

    The thing that always bothered me about Rex is the game management. The prime example of this was the Oakland game. We had no business blowing up like that.
