  1. I get that they tried to take the classic "opposite direction" approach when hiring Dan Campbell, after having the dessicated hobo corpse of Matt Patricia the last couple of years. But the shelf life for these rah-rah coaches is usually very short. I can't see this guy even lasting 2.5 years once the injuries inevitably pile up and his guys start to tune him out
  2. That's a pretty low bar to clear in Jacksonville, You're apt to see more Florida Gators blue than Jaggywires Teal to begin with
  3. LOL I've still got the same one!
  4. Pat Williams, Brian Moorman, and Fred Jackson were top 10 drought All-Stars too
  5. I wouldn't be stunned - people like sexy names at the top of the draft and at premium positions. I'm sure the fanbase got all fired up about our great draft when we traded up for Sammy Watkins. Or how about when we picked CJ Spiller, Marshawn Lynch, and Willis McGahee? Or when we won the offseason when we traded for Lesean McCoy? No thanks, I'll take this draft any day of the week
  6. Every year, I become a bigger fan of Beane's team building strategy Free Agency is to plug immediate holes and find plug & play starters and high snap count rotation players Draft is for development, depth, and future backfills Obviously there are some exceptions, especially in the first round of the draft, but this is exactly how you build a sustainable, competitive roster. Once you begin to "need" the draft to find multiple starters each year, it means that your current talent isn't performing or you're top-heavy vs the cap I enjoy not being in that boat any longer
  7. I can't see us cutting both Horrible Harry and Justin Zimmer. We need to have at least one big body option other than Star to play 1T.
  8. I'm very confident that Beane will find one or two veteran free agent finds this summer in the low-to-mid $ range to help address the depth gap. Not a worry right now, but I think they'll know more after they see what they have in mini-camp, i.e. if the rookies can play this year
  9. Fun fact - this is the first Bills draft since the pre-salary cap era of 1991 that we signed 3 of our original picks to 2nd contracts It has always felt like this, more than anything else, contributed to the long period of mediocrity, and indirectly to all of the bad free-agent spends as well.
  10. I'll be worried about the Browns when they find a better QB than Faker Mayfield
  11. Urban is a fraud - I doubt he makes it past 3 years And having lived in Jacksonville myself during the Tebow era, I know how crappy of an experience going to a game is. They're barely the 8th most popular team in town, and I'm probably being generous
  12. They should have just hung on to Kendall Hinton
  13. I'm in the boat of letting the draft come to us this year. We have a lot of young cheap depth that's going to age out in the next 1-2 years that's going to need to be replaced. It takes cheap draft picks to do that. Yes, I'd like to win, but I don't want to become this top-heavy have/have-not club either. That's the quickest path back to 6 win purgatory
  14. Whatever product Josh endorses, the commercial needs to end with him diving through a folding table
  15. This was a fun season that started my true Bills fandom at the ripe old age of 14. The defense was absolutely stifling even with Bruce sampling the nose candy. Good think too, because despite having an up-and-coming QB, we gave way too many carries to stiffs like Jamie Mueller and Carl Byrum
  16. Exactly - the only right answer is "who cares". This isn't 1977 - the best teams in the league win by passing the football. I enjoy that finally, we are one of them
  17. I'd love to see this
  18. It's Wallace all day. He's done great for being an UDFA but it's easy to tell that his talent level isn't enough to make his starting position sustainable long-term
  19. I think it's Dallas all the way. NBC will want to hype up Dak's return as well
  20. If having a top notch, Super Bowl caliber team means that I'm much less interested in the draft, I'll gladly take it. It got real tiring having an awful-to-mediocre team then watching them pick guys like Mike Williams, Donte Whitner, and Marcel Dareus with high selections Let's not do that again for a long long time
  21. Where can I go to place all my earthly possessions, income, and the souls of my children on the over???
  22. I happen to enjoy that we scored 500 points last year. Really don't care that much how many we gave up
