2020 Our Year For Sure

Right so there's only room for one starter in addition to White and Johnson.

There's no reason he can't be.

What would we do with two high picks at corner? We have Tre White and Taron Johnson. One of those two picks would just be a backup his whole Bills career? If this were a Wink Martindale defense I might listen to a case for over-stocking that way but it's poor allocation for a zone defense where guys like Levi Wallace and Dane Jackson are functional starters, let alone backups.

Yeah more like Teddy Hart

If the pick isn't a WR it's automatically a fail. There's nothing else that makes sense. Let's go Buffalo. I've wanted a WR in the 1st every year for like forever. It's goddamn time. It, is, God, damn, time. Put excellence around Josh Allen. Diggs is only one guy. Don't be the Packers wasting Aaron Rodgers because you only had one GUY. Like we all enjoy Gabe but don't be lazy and underprepared. Just because it's the fun sexy thing to do don't make it wrong na mean? It ain't 1989. Like, it ain't 1989. The rules are built for this. Defense is illegal. Like what we used to call pass coverage and pass rush is now not legal, bros! Take advantage with ruthlessness. Load up on explosive weapons and bombs a-freaking-way. Freaking carpet bombs. Goddamn atomic bombs. Hillary Clinton in Libya bombs. The only missing ingredient is goddamn Dabes. The only OC since Kevin Gilbride who understood what I am saying to you right now. Dabes didn't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blow. Honor the greatest OC in Bills history (just kidding (but not really)) by finishing the job he ***** started. Can I get an amennnnnnnnnnn-uh I can already see the responses nope not under the influence boys. Just ready to drive 9 hours to downtown BUFFALO for a goddamn Superbowl parade!!! Do it while my father is alive god *****. He deserves it. That boy would go to games by himself at like 11 years old. Is that a different goddamn planet???? Don't screw around, just dominate. Ruthless. Bomb all their freaking heads off. Show the rebel alliance the full power of this station and show every stupidass team that steps to us the full God. Damn. Power of Josh freaking Allen.

Gave you a like for gettin' me good

I want to go WR in the 1st and trade-up if the value is right. Basically I want a second true #1 receiver as good as Diggs playing opposite him. My concern is that with Aaron Kromer having so much of Derm's trust serving as run game coordinator under a rooke OC, that they will over-rely on Kromer and run the ball too much and over-do 12 personnel. Spreading the field with lots of talent at WR and letting Josh cook has made this a championship caliber team. All this talk of "evolving" is frankly concerning to me. Become more multiple, that's fine but the fastball is by far the most commonly-thrown pitch for a reason.

I like Erik Turner but I gotta say him being on TikTok is so on-brand.

Could this have been a contributing factor to the hesitancy to play him all year in 2021? Keep other teams guessing at good he can play with consistency, keep his contract reasonable so we could match. Baseball teams make a similar move often, not calling a hot prospect up until late enough in the year that they can have an extra year of control. It still allowed the Bills to have Bates in there for the postseason run.

It is what it is though from a roster-building perspective. He showed enough to keep the job and continue his development under a better OL coach.

I think Williams is decent in pass pro. Are you saying they shouldn't start Spencer Brown at RT this year? Why are you only saying this now, I haven't seen a single person say that the entire offseason. Where ya been?

They also had Feliciano and Ford starting games and no Kromer. If they were to add Williams at RG what's the issue with the OL?

I don't think the Bills need a dominant offensive line. What so they can run the ball and take the ball out of Josh's hands? Nah. Running a lot is for losers. Just be decent in pass pro and you're good. If Doc is correct and the fallback is Williams then he fits that thinking. Kromer will help too, you've ignored that. The OL seems fine to me. Upgrade it for what purpose exactly? I feel the same about corner. Early in their tenure Derm and Frazier were forced to start an in-season FA called Ryan Lewis at CB and you couldn't tell the difference. The Bills have Tre White and Dane Jackson. They're mostly good. They need a depth piece who can maybe start early in the year if Tre isn't quite ready. Draft one in the 3rd or 4th and be done with it. There's a lot of concern going around over these perceived needs and yes they need to add decent players but these aren't spots where they need all-pros.

That's true, there shouldn't be any rule against it because he can just present it as "this is what I'd need" like any other negotiation.

My question would be can he reveal to the Bills the offers he got without actually signing an offer sheet, so that the Bills can build a roughly similar offer but with a cap structure that works for us.

It's a good thing for Kansas City. "Sucks we're losing Reek but at least we can stick him in the Bills' division, that part is pretty cool."

If Hill didn't want to go to the Jets he could just not negotiate a contract with them. Effectively he has a no-trade clause.

He still has a lot of work to do if he wants to be elite. Godspeed, Daws.

I agree. Just saying I do think buftex has the record correct that he never hired a coach. Russ hired Marrone and the Pegulas hired Ryan. It seems telling that he was here for two coaching searches under two different ownership/management teams and despite being the General Manager nobody ever trusted him enough to hire a coach. Bizarre that if you think about it.

I'm not a Whaley guy but I do agree with you that he never hired his own coach. That seems obvious, actually. I think it was when they hired Ryan that it was reported he wanted to wait for the Steelers to be eliminated and interview their DC Keith Butler (who wasn't a great candidate IMO but still).

Jamil Douglas replacement

Music to mine ears 🎶

Beane came through big time. This is what I've been asking for. Elite talent baby!

I'm glad he was able to cash in elsewhere. Welcome home big guy.

YES. That is what I'm talking about! I like him even better than Chandler Jones. I really admire Miller. Love this.
