This year I blame the players, it's pretty clear that we don't have the talent needed to run ANY scheme. We have some building blocks, a few serviceable players here and there, but overall. And while the lack of talent this year goes to the GM, they're playing the long game - they don't want to be "decent" this year, the want to be "great" in the future. Sucks for all of us that want some instant (or even delayed) gratification, it's gonna take a few years, but they're building a roster that theoretically won't play so damn poor...

Or a sign that they're not built to come back behind the powerful arms of Tyrod Taylor or Nate Peterman. I've seen this narrative spreading across TBD, yeah when they start to get blown out it's hard to come back - because they're not that good right now, because they're in the middle of a rebuild... Also, per the A22 thread sounds like there might be a few small things we can do to shore up the D. The O line however, yikes.

Best article I've seen on what the Bills are trying to build - not everyone thinks it makes no sense...

I know this was posted, but can we force everyone to read it!? Fantastic perspective.

Thanks crew - best thread on the board. You get SO much insight from these videos - especially the Cover 1 with call outs and slow downs. Guess I feel *slightly* better about this team, will be interesting to see if they can fit up some of these gaps, so to speak. And please, find that O line help!

Someone in Buffalo dropped De Beer? Not ALL de Beer though, right!?

OMG, can you make this its own thread and pin it to the top of the board!? I've been saying that the entire preseason - we're going to have a crappy year, so might as well enjoy the tailgate, the friendships the beers and maybe, if you're luck, a slice of Stromboli. It really is that simple... ?

Just because some don't like or get the plan current management has, doesn't mean it's bad / wrong. Might be, might not be, we gonna find out...

HBD SDS - though you won't be there this weekend, rest assured we'll have a toast in your honor! ?

You're digging deep if you want to the fault the punter for Sunday...clearly you're digging deep regardless I guess... o_O

Is it the weekend yet!? I feel like I've worked 12 days this week already (Sunday's skull beating didn't help)...

Or just a reminder of the truth...

Hopefully we'll be administering the Wonderlick at Hammer's during the TBDHOT this year - that will settle this once and for all! ?

At least the OP titled this thread appropriately...

You think Yolo is a PERSON - bwaaaa haaaaa haaaaa. Dude, it's obviously a chatbot... You never see Yolo at the TBD tailgate - know why? Chat Bots don't drink!

Weeeeeell, maybe pro coaches have slow eyes, but TBD doesn't need to watch film - our gut sees what our eyes can't! ?

MF Doom if he were a Bills fan? As has been said, stock up in the draft next year (trade down if possible and acquire more picks), spend your $90M in cap room wisely. S'all good man!

"Who are you throwing in the Pit of Misery? When? Explain what horrors you have in store for the player in said Pit. Show the work that led to your solution."

They mercifully put it down...

I heard a few NFL pundits in the pre season say "If you have a QB that's going to be ruined by playing, then you don't have a QB." Makes sense to me. And they just can't trot Nate out there this Sunday - one bad throw and the boobirds come out, if he throws a pick it's a full meltdown (me included)! I disagree about keeping AJ, I really don't want to watch a mediocre QB string together enough good throws to maybe win us a few, I'd rather see Allen in there learning on the job! Can we run some sort of "Super Shotgun"? The longsnapper hikes it back to Allen 20 yards back, with Allen's arm strength it's easy to make the now 30 yard throw for a first down! ?

Better factor in then fact that the Lions are at home with and established "good" (according to some) QB.

WE'RE #2! WE'RE #2! No, literally... Also, did the MNF guy just say he had no clue what New Jack City is!? What kind of world to we live in?

Verified:

Lions really to look like they suck. And Stafford might be dead by week 3. And as I type, Jets TD! lol

Not sure about "should have", but "could have" for sure - regardless, great throw and catch.
