Never been a fan of Gruden anyway. I remember when Bills fans were screaming for him to come here. Dont get me wrong i like him as a person...you can tell he loves the game...but eventually its time to hang it up for good. Idk why i guy like him would want to even do it. He had a cushy job making tons of money with no pressure and no stress.
I think Gruden will just mail it in and steal Mark Davis’s money, kinda like Rex did with the Bills.

Oliver is a nice player but I would never use the number 1 overall pick on an interior d-lineman. Bosa would make more sense.
BTW, maybe now we know why Beane was so adamant about holding on to our ‘19 first round pick.

Agreed. Here is hoping somebody falls in love with a quarterback
Before the new rookie wage scale came into being, the top pick was sometimes a hot potato. It’s better now...and this looks like a pretty good draft.

If they pick first overal then you trade down. The roster is in need of a major addition of talent
I agree, but it’s not possible every year. When there isn’t a big-time QB available, it can be hard to find a partner willing to trade a boatload of picks.

My sleeper is Gronk. I know he's only 30 next year, but he's taken a lifetime of hits and has already won Super Bowls. Plus, i think he's always just wanted to party full-time and accidentally fell backwards into a dynasty. Once that pressure's gone, he can finally fulfill his lifetime dream — endless spring break.
Could be. He’s certainly got nothing left to prove and he’s had his share of injuries. Can’t believe he’s not even 30 yet.

Is there a way you can bet money and win if he doesnt get fired? I would literally bet every penny i have, cash in my 401K and borrow as much as possible to bet that he doesn't get fired this yesr.
Literally a negative chance of this happening.
There is literally no such thing as a “negative chance”. If you think there is zero chance McDermott gets fired, you haven’t been paying attention. While I agree it’s unlikely he gets fired this year, if he loses control and the team quits on him (and there are early signs of both) all bets are off. It’s not like McDermott has a long history of success in this league.
Patience and continuity are great, but as soon as someone demonstrates that they don’t know what they’re doing, their days are numbered, and rightly so. Losing is toxic and should never be accepted or expected as part of some idiot’s four-year plan.

Dang. If only the Bills had a running game...
Anyway, what's the NFL point spread record? 16.5 has to be an outlier..
Is it still only -16.5? Seems like easy $$$.

Where there is smoke there is fire. The wheels are minus the lug nuts and the car is picking up speed, can't tell me the Pegulas are ok with all that has happened. I would not be surprised if the Pegulas have talked with current and former players who have been shipped out by McBean as to what is going on.
Those saying there is “zero” chance McDermitt gets fired are kidding themselves. If this team gets blown out week after week, which seems possible, and it becomes apparent that he has lost the team, then he most certainly can get fired. Anyone who is unconcerned with what we are seeing needs to wake up.

Nice drive by seattle. Got to mix in the running plays despite what that idiot Whitten says.

Certainly both duds for us.
l think one has to look at the possibility that with a different coaching and team situation around them, they both might have been studs not duds
Agreed. Neither was a complete bust, but given all the future Hall of Famers in those two drafts, especially at WR, it’s hard not to consider those to be wasted picks.

Browns - 4 top ten picks in last 4 years.
Jags - 4 top ten picks in last 5 years
Rams - 5 top ten picks in last 6 years
Jets - 3 top ten picks in last 5 years
Though these are estimates, you see the point. Teams that struggle get rewarded with high draft picks. The Bills have always competed at the 7-9 and 8-8 level. We need a chance to draft top 5. Be patient.
May I remind you that the Bills have drafted in the top four twice since 2012 (both times in historically great draft years) and came away with two turds?

Yes as there was no need for thiis.
It's all been self inflicted.
I dunno but alot of teams have been better and won Super Bowls after being a middling 8-8, 7-9 or 9-7 the year prior without having to blow the whole thing up.
As a matter of fact I cant recall the last team that won a SB after a complete tear down and rebuild.
Does that even work in the NFL?
Thank you. Tear-down rebuilds are not how it’s done in the NFL. Teams rebuild on the fly and it is a league designed for parity. Anyone selling you that we need to tear it down and start over to be good is full of it. If this team goes 1-15 or 0-16 it will be because of incompetence, not as the residue of some grand plan or process.

doubt it, they know they are in for losing this year. Pegula restructured the Bills and Sabres around McDermott 's philosophy , it would take a lot for them to go.
I don’t disagree, but no coach or GM should be kept around once it becomes clear that they don’t know what they’re doing. “Continuity” is important, but once a coach has lost the team, or the GM has exposed himself as a fool, there’s little sense keeping them around for the sake of continuity. We’re not there yet, but it’s not inconceivable that we could get there sooner than some think.

Which guys should we have kept?
I’m not an NFL scout or GM, but let’s start with Goodwin and/or Watkins, Dareus, AJ McCarron, possibly Darby. The real problem, though, is the guys they’ve brought on board: the awful free agents they signed this year, Tolbert, giving up a third round pick for Benjamin, failing to fortify the o-line in the draft....

Actually it's working just like they intended. It all hinges on Allen being a franchise QB.
This better not be what they intended. Nowadays, NFL teams do not need to bottom out to rebuild. The team had some decent pieces in place but those have mostly been jettisoned in favor of former Panthers and other assorted trash. At some point, one has to question if they know what they are doing. So far, there’s not much evidence that they do.

Don't give the its only year 2.
The roster is far worse than last year.
Almost every decision McBeane has made has backfired.
Beane wanted a QB more than he wanted to win. I forgot about giving away Glenn.
TT, Glenn, and three more draft picks is a much better roster.
And I wanted Allen!
It’s nothing but arrogance, thinking you need to purge the roster of all the former regime’s players.
-
Scary thing is that the Chargers and Ravens are at best average NFL teams.
-
The three main free agency signings of this offseason are catastrophic. How can you trust a GM who’s not even able to evaluate current NFL players?
-
Thank god we got the 3 on that last drive.
-
I know everyone says McBeane has a very long leash, but when you put a product like this on the field, and make so many indefensible personnel decisions, someone has to be held accountable.

Ed Oliver DT Houston- Compared to Aaron Donald in terms of play on the field. Non stop motor but has elite talent. Elite vs both the run and the pass. Has insane athleticsm and is going to destroy the combine. Star has looked terrible and Kyle won't be around much longer. We all love Harry but he needs help. Having a gap penetrating DT will also help open up lanes for Edmunds to blast in and make more tackles behind the LOS.
Watching Texas Tech v Houston. Oliver invisible.

Would you draft Oliver or Bosa?

Not if there was a quality edge rusher available.
And by the way, back in ‘14, I was advacating that the Bills stay put and take Donald as BPA.
