    McBeane and the Process

    We always knew Gilmore was good. Going to the Patriots almost ensures a Superbowl ring so that is no surprise. McDermott's defense was doing very well without him. I don't feel like we need him right now.

     

    Watkins is looking good recently. His fans been waiting a long time to say I told you so. After so long you can finally feel justified.

     

    All the Bills have needed since McDermott took over was an offence. 

    Still never lived up to his first round draft status and its only week two - almost injury time!

    As much as you provide some really great posts, I thiiiiink you are caught in the "really good .500 era" of Bills Football!

    Gilmore and Watkins on this team right now makes us a better team.  

     

    Also, it makes two AFC contenders weaker not having them 

    Not a chance!

    The decisions can be wrong and the "process" can still work........but it's a lot easier when you have guys that they passed on like Mahomes and Watkins and Gilmore than doing it without them.

     

    The bar has been set high though.........the list of players the Bills have passed on or let walk who have gone on to play and play well in SB's and championship games just since McDermott got here is astonishing.  

     

    This team has a once-in-a-generation level easy schedule and McBeane have been given full control of a roster that was very underrated when they got here and sacrificed two seasons to get to this point so they should be expected to win 10-11 games and have a very good chance to win a playoff game for the first time in 25 years. :thumbsup:

    OK, whatever!

    Disagree, individuals and divas; stop clinging to the failed past and embrace the positive future!

    Gilmore wasn’t traded. 

     

    Watkins got us a second.  So yes, we couldn’t have traded up for Edmunds.  I’d rather have Edmunds.  

     

    Outside of that, you just can’t say we’d be a worse team adding them to our roster

    No. Gilmore left for more money and yes he is now performing for the Patriots he did not in Buffalo; so long and enjoy, wish him the best

    Does having a good defense lead to not having to pass a lot

    Can we pull off the win when the defense gets gashed?  Or do we get blown out like the past?  

     

    If Our Offense can win games when defense is getting gashed then yes it is a good team. 

     

    If the defense is getting gashed and the offense can not pass to keep up and a blowout occurs like has happened so often before than yes it is still a flawed football team. 

    In simpler terms, find a way to win - offense, defense, special teams. 1990 - 1993 we put lots of points on the board and big time yardage passing but could not win the big one; no defense.

    You are shifting my post from what I was saying. I wasn't claiming you don't need an offense. Just that if you have a good D, your good offense doesn't have to light things up. Of course if your defense is getting gashed the offense has to keep pace.

     

    People say McDermott is conservative. I don't think he is necessarily. But I do think if he's got a 2 or 3 score lead and the defense is bottling things up, he's not going to air it out.

    Great post, I get what you are saying and agree. I still love watching a great, bruising defensive battle but in the twenty - first century that is boring to many. Hell, I still love pitchers duels! I love watching offense when its the Bills lighting up scoreboards but still want a dominant shut down defense!

    I was in no condition to post yesterday after the win considering everything and the fact I had a lot of alcohol flowing haha. Additionally the next morning is a much more rational mindset. So here we go:

     

    1. Josh Allen- It all starts and ends here. On the grades posted today here on TBD I have him a B-. The big thing is I liked the fact he worked the middle and things low all over. Truthfully his worst play was the dropped INT by Marcus Maye. That’s the hero ball he cannot throw. Both picks were bad luck not his fault and I only blame him for the first fumble. But long view he stayed in pocket better, his vision improved finding WR especially when it really mattered in the fourth, and he won the game with his arm on a great throw to Brown which is far more sustainable compared to him running for 100 yds. I am very excited to see what he does next week with the jitters out of his system and an easier defense to play against.

     

    2. Offense In General- it’s weird to say I liked the offense when they only scored 17 pts and had 4 turnovers... but I liked the offense. The Bills moved the ball all game which was much better then last year. It’s one game but I do see them moving into being a mid tier offense with how they structured everything especially against a good Jets D. Robert Foster was quiet and it didn’t seem like he was on the field much, I could be wrong but thought that was interesting. John Brown seemed to get better as the game progressed and I look forward to seeing him throughout the season and now Daboll uses him. The one thing I do not understand is fans who are mad the bills came out throwing. Yes Singletary did great once they used him, but part of their game plan was to keep the Jets off balance by throwing and attacking their weak corners. The other thing is if Josh really becomes the guy I want him throwing a lot. Your not beating  the Pats or KC sheltering your QB. I think the fact the offense is trusted in his hands this much and that he did throw 37 times is a major positive not a cause for concern.

     

    3. Defense- Pretty simple they looked great and might be the best the unit has been since the 99 squad. The talent and depth is noticeable and for year 3 of the scheme it’s firing at all cylinders. They still got beat a little on screens to RBs and WRs but not nearly as bad as in the past and if the goal is to eliminate big plays then I’ll allow those. Milano seemed decent although he did get beat a few times down low in coverage which I think is just rust coming off. Jerry Hughes seems poised for 12-15 sacks and some all pro praise he finally deserves. I also appreciated his lack of bonehead penalties at inopportune times.

     

    4. Winning is all and nothing else. Regardless of how pretty or ugly it gets the Bills are 1 win down with 9 to go to be a safe spot for the playoffs. 

     

    5. McDs Culture Push Deserves Credit- I was truly impressed that the entire team didn’t cave when it was 16-0 and instead came back firing. They say a team takes its coaches personality and you gotta like what he is doing.

     

    6. Leslie Frazier Playing Calling Was Superb- I hope the Bills can keep him for awhile because the guys on D really like him and play so well for him. I thought he did a great job with adjustments and I liked the blitzing aggression especially at the end.

     

    7. Next Few Weeks- You never underlook an opponent, the Bills need to clean up the turnovers, and there are other things to fix. But the Giants and Bengals offer two straight very winnable games. It feels like the Pats and Titans back to back are going to present the first true tests of the season. I hope again the Giants and the Bengals they refine themselves to a high level because if you can get a victory in one of Pats or Titans your hopefully 4-1 at the bye with a real solid look at the playoffs. I am excited to see where this team goes and if Allen can build off the positives of yesterday 

    Play throughout the NFL for week one still at pre - season caliber - but the games count now despite some sloppy games yesterday and last Thursday. Week four will provide a better picture of who the contenders and pretenders are, again unfortunate because they all count in the win loss column - the modern NFL!

    Both of his interceptions were tipped balls. How were they frantic INT's?

    TBD posters will never see that!

    While Allen is credited with both fumbles, really the 2nd one should have been on Morse.  To me deflected balls have no blame or praise.  Just luck, good for D and bad for O  Look at how many passes the Bills deflected, but not one landed close to a teammate that could have grabbed it, think there was one somewhat close.

     

    I will credit him with two bad throws one on the int called back due to penalty and one dropped, but that does happen all the time with everyone.

    Great synopsis, unusual for OTB!

    Fair enough. I’m just so happy for this win. 

     

    Im not getting into any arguments with fellow Bills fans this week. :)

    Why can't they just enjoy the win and stop the drama queen act for one week?

    They still tried to trade for him.  It absolutely blows my mind with all the talk about culture.  And if he would have said ok, he’d be here doing the same crap.  

     

    But yeah, bullet dodged.

    Some of you are obsessed with this guy.  Again, the GM who some of you think is a god tried to get AB, so he thought the same thing.  

    And many of you attacked Bean and blew snot bubbles when it did not happen; but this TBD - you get to have it both ways!
