Bills, 20-16. I can't defend this prediction logically, based on the matchups, the personnel or the coaching, but this is just the type of game the Bills have won in recent history. They somehow pull off a win when people start writing off the season and start looking forward to a top-five draft pick. I don't know how they do it, but they do. And the Titans are hardly unbeatable.

He freaked out because he wants to be on the field. How is that not the type of player that fits the culture.
Agreed. I can think of far worse attitude problems. If Dareus had shown the same “attitude,” he might still be here.

Anyone know how Malik Hooker is doing this year?

Mahomes would look no different than Allen on this team in this offense.
Stop. That is delusional nonsense. Mahomes is miles and miles ahead of Allen (and Darnold and Rosen) at this moment. There’s really no denying that. The question is, will Allen close the gap and how soon will he do it?

Just a counter to the Fire whoever passed on Mahomes thread....just pointing out the vast majority of the fanbase wanted to trade out and pass on Mahomes.
That’s not how I read those threads. It was being reported that the Bills were looking to trade down and people were mostly trying to surmise who they would trade with and what the trade down would reap. And anyway, the fact that lots of fans were ok with the trade down at the time does not let Bills front office off the hook and doesn’t mean we can’t criticize it now. They are ultimately accountable. And if Allen becomes a very good QB, all’s forgiven. I’m sure at this stage of RGIII’s career, Redskins fans were over the moon with their big trade up in the 2012 draft.
At any rate, even as of now, it’s not the worst trade in the world. At a minimum, with the lower first round pick, we got what looks like a perennial pro bowl player at a premium position. My real anger is directed at whomever let the offensive talent on this team become so horribly depleted.

I think the bigger thing those franchises did is they spent a ton of money on offense in the QB's sophomore seasons. Presumably that is our plan for next year too.
That’s true, but the offensive cupboard was nowhere near as bare for those teams as it is for the Bills. We literally need 7-9 new starters on offense and there are no promising young reserves on the bench. It will be very difficult to get talented FA receivers to come to Buffalo, if there even are any available. I don’t think this offense can be turned around in one offseason, especially by this bunch. Best hope is that we have the 1 overall pick and can unload it for multiple premium picks.

the thing that sucks is if Allen is the real deal, we have the Derek Carr , Khalil Mack situation , where you just can't afford both. It may not make sense to trade up for two first rounders in the same draft for this reason.
Let’s just hope we have that “problem.”

Preston was not adequate. God forbid he would make a tackle for a loss ever.

I have a question. If they aren't hard to find, why haven't the Bills found a good one in so long? Just wondering
The guy who played MLB for the Bills the last couple seasons was more than adequate. He was a third round draft choice.

Okay, Sal. But what were you saying in April 2017?
That’s a good catch, but the bottom line is that Sal is not a scout or GM for the Bills. It doesn’t change the fact that there was a major fail that took place in last year’s draft.

Actually, someone needs to be fired over the fact that in the history of the modern NFL, it’s unlikely that any team has fielded a team so entirely devoid of offensive weapons. It’s almost impossible to do.

Derwin James plays the same position as Micah Hyde, who is a 27 year old 2nd team allpro signed through 2021. Who is our MLB if that happens?
James could likely play corner in this system.
Maybe they draft a MLB somewhere else. MLBs aren’t that hard to find.

They picked at 17 and you really think we should have taken a safety in the 1st rd? And then we still have no MLB.
its kind of a strange argument you are making. Edmunds wasn’t even expected to be there at 16.
I’m just saying I don’t like the trade up. Who knows who would have been there at 22? And no, I would never have a problem with taking a player like Derwin James. That guy is a beast.

I think that's an extremely optimistic maybe.
Probably. But you don’t know how the round plays out if the Bills don’t make that trade. Maybe the Chargers pick Edmunds at 19 and Derwin James slides to 22.
1 minute ago, YoloinOhio said:Especially since the Chargers literally said they were taking him at 17 if he was still there. They struck gold anyway with James but unless they are lying (why would they after the draft?) he certainly would not have been there at 22.
OK, then maybe James slides to us at 22. That wouldn’t have sucked.

I feel your pain regarding the lack of weapons on offence, but my sense of it is that Edmonds may well wind up a steal where he was taken and well worth the trade up.
Could be. And of course we don’t really know who they would have taken at 22 or with pick 65 if they’d kept it.

One? Not a fan of Edmunds or Phillips?
I like both of them. Did not like the trade up for Edmunds though. That high third round pick could have been used on some sort of offensive weapon (Royce Freeman, Antonio Calloway, or—god forbid—a lineman). Too many holes to give up a premium pick for a linebacker. Maybe he’s still there at 22...
-
It’s encouraging that after using almost the entire draft on defense, they found at least one guy who can play.?

Mahommes is the real deal, and they whiffed on him.
There is a very real possibility that JA is Losman 2.
Our front office pretends like they are genius's, but they are a bunch of very average d*cks.
Who is this Mahommes you keep talking about?

Putting Mahomes aside for the moment, how is it possible that KC has so many offensive weapons and we have none, zero?? I mean, seriously: Hill, Hunt, Kelce, Connelly, and DAT, and I could go on and on. Just a complete and utter fail at OBD. It makes me sick to watch teams that have bona fide NFL players at the offensive skill positions.

We at https://gotitans.com/ like to visit the forums of teams we play each week.
Here is how our season has gone this year:
- We lost the game we were supposed to win then won the games we were supposed to lose
- Major injury issues early in the year. Our top 4 offensive players (in order -- Delainie Walker, Taylor Lewan, Jack Conklin and Marcus Mariota) missed significant time. All but Walker are back and healthy now though
- Run game has been trash
- WRs pretty good though there have been some bad drops and the number 1 WR the previous 2 years up and quit on the team
- Pass rush is strong, we were able to put a lot of pressure on Carson Wentz, even with their good OL. Rookie Harold Landry is doing well rushing the passer
- Secondary is hit and miss. We had another injury at SS. High priced FA Malcolm Butler has a habit of following up a big a big play by giving up a big play
- Run defense could be better. First round rookie Rashaan Evans has barely played and missed all of TC
- New coaching staff appears to be light years ahead of the old Mike Mularkey staff
My prediction is a defensive battle between the Bills and Titans. Which is how all our games have gone this year.
How’s Jurrell Casey doing? Last time we played you, he was a big problem.

I don’t know how they will build the offense. Pretty much everyone on this offense needs to go except for Allen, Dawkins and maybe Marcus Murphy (young and cheap) apart from that we need to rebuild the whole thing. This will take a few years if we can accomplish it.
Do you want the same people who passed on Mahomes and Watson, and traded up for Zay Jones, to be in charge of that project? Are you interested in giving them a few more years?

Looking around the league yesterday there is no doubt the Bills have the worst offense in the entire country. Pee wee, high school ,college, powder puff...... Will we ever see an NFL offfense? Will we ever see a real NFL receiver? The rules in the Nfl favor offenses and here in Buffalo the Bills can"t get a freakin field goal. Some point totals from yesterday, Houston 37, Colts 34, Bears 48, Bengals 37, Falcons 36, Pats 45, Browns 42, Raiders 45, Saints 33. The team I root for 0, ZERO, NONE, ZILCH, NADA not a freakin point. Years ago John McKay coach of the Tampa Bay Bucs was asked about the EXECUTION of his offense, he said he was in favor of it. Thats how I feel about the Bills offense.
I want my ticket money back, I deserve at least half my money back as it seem that the Bills only field half a team. That wide receiver bunch is a freakin joke, and the offensive line is the punch line.
Thanks for letting me vent. They're killin me Whitey, they're killin me!
You are forgetting about the fact that the Packer’s defense is probably a bottom 10 defense in the NFL.
Unless you were actively working to sabatoge the team, it would be difficult to put together a more inept offense than what the Bills are trotting out there in 2018, including what might be the worst receiving corps in the modern history of the league. Will anyone be held accountable, or will the people who created this fiasco be given years to try to prove that they are competent?

According to the Bills cheerleaders on TSW, McDermott and Beane should get at least 5 years, maybe even 10, no matter how incompetent they prove to be.
I think we can safely say that if and when Josh Allen busts, they will both be gone, and that’s as it should be. Unfortunately, they have set him up to fail spectacularly.

2019 Mock Drafts and top prospects
in College Football
Posted
Herbert's only played half a season each of the past two years. As of now, he looks like a solid top 12 pick to me. He's upped his game from last year and might very well look like a no. 1 overall by the end of the season. He certainly has the tools. Lots of football left.
