2020 Our Year For Sure

You very obviously have a point here. If you could play the postseason scenario out 1000 times would the Rams win the Superbowl every time, of course not. Maybe they would win with the highest frequency, maybe not. Winning the Superbowl does not prove you are the best team. Again: winning the Superbowl does not prove you are the best team. It is a combination of skill and luck. GunnerBill thinks like a coach and their job is to disregard luck because there's no value in thinking about that. Good coaches and players focus all their energy on the parts of it that are in their control.

Has it been said Giles-Harris was cut? I've had them keeping him.

Getting a 5th rounder for Ford is a good return. Ford did not become a bust this week, he's been a bust the whole time. The trade itself is a small positive.

Probably would have kept Ford if they knew. Unfortunate. Potentially puts Bobby Hart in line for a roster spot?

My first thought was Brad Butler.

Defensive backs should get more leeway with illegal contact like they did in the 90s before they started emphasizing that in the first place. You can't cover a WR without even touching them. Let these guys play good football. I want a good balanced game, not necessarily more points more points more points.

Atta boy

That's heavy.

I'm with you that I wish they had prioritized stocking up at WR more than they did but "they'd be middling with Case Keenum playing all year" is a weird way to go about saying that. Case Keenum at QB is a crappy situation. To say they'd be average with a low-end starting quarterback is a huge compliment to everyone involved. In your scenario everyone around Keenum is so good that they elevate him. In the modern NFL you're supposed to lose when the other team has better quarterback play. QB is really, really important.

Diggs and a bunch of JAGs.

Since it relies on ever-increasing investment from ownership, do the Bills who pull in relatively little revenue each year compared to other teams ever reach a point where ownership has to pull back? Or with revenue sharing are we good forever?

Preseason was more interesting when we sucked.

Not worth hating

Good point. I saw some dude on Youtube call it the biggest win in 6 years.

Struck him out And the ballgame is over! Big win today boys Tops in the NL #LGM

Two different ownership regimes did not see fit to let him preside over any of three separate head coaching searches. I wonder why that is.

Call 'em up from Triple-A Houston.

His length and his spatial awareness make him an excellent candidate for cleanup sacks and therefore a nice stylistic fit opposite Von Miller.

Jackson is at minimum quality depth. Another CB is a completely wasted pick with no path to the field now or even several seasons from now. It's lighting a 2nd round draft pick on fire.

I would be very surprised if they went corner in round 2. Taron Johnson is a good player who we got in the 4th round and he played well as a rookie. Even if they bizarrely don't want him anymore, his acquisition shows you don't need to go high on zone slot corners as it's not what teams are falling all over each other for early in the draft.

You're killin me!

Weird way to use a first rounder IMO. The upside is I don't have to hear a word about cornerback for the next 10 years. We've drafted soooo many corners throughout my fandom, you gotta laff.

I feel ya. It's tough to project Derm and Frazier taking a left turn after going right for 5 straight seasons, particularly when it's mostly worked extremely well for them.

Multiple first round picks at corner for a zone defense is a pathetic waste of resources. We're not asking these guys to follow elite WRs all over the field. This guy could be great and change very little for the defense compared to a Levi/Dane in that spot. The Bills themselves only have one WR anywhere approaching the ballpark of elite, PLUS a lack of depth. Maybe work on that deficiency so you don't become the Packers wasting Aaron Rodgers 'cause you stubbornly left his weapons locker light. Two first round zone corners for crying out loud! I'm laffin'. I don't know how I'll feel watching them cover the flats then pass dudes off to the safeties at 15 yards in Cover 2, or give a 12-yard cushion in Cover 3 or 4...but hey, I'm sure he can seal the hell outta that edge!

How exciting.
