2020 Our Year For Sure

I really like the current home unis. They look sleek and modern without being too noisy, and they're more or less our classic colors. Most of us agree the road unis are a mess, though, so I'd love to see them use the 90s whites on the road again. Since they both use the same helmet, I don't see the problem with mixing and matching two unis when they're both pretty modern anyway.

There's no doubt we need depth along the offensive line. Jason Whittle, Duke Preston and Kirk Chambers just don't cut it.

Well said, Tip.

That did become pretty clear when Leodis was thinking of something to say, and the host blurted, "Well...maybe Deion Sanders?"

Yeesh, give the guy some time. With all the turnover we've (quite necessarily) had, its a wonder he's kept the team competitive. He's done a fine job here. The offensive deficiencies on his track record you astutely point out ARE worrisome. You can hope that can be chalked up to poor assistants and poor quarterbacks, but this can only go on so long without he himself being held responsible. I believe there are more pieces in place now than he's had in any other season in Buffalo, so we'll see. I think we'll both agree this is an important year for him, and that may be an understatement.

Why all the hate for Jauron? I'm not trying to be a smartass, I'm genuinely interested. He's given me reason for hope since he's gotten here, as it feels like he's turned this franchise around from the hellhole it was when he got here. It feels as if the ball is rolling in the right direction.

If there can be interceptions, how can the QB not matter?

Completely agree. They need to at least be put on the "competing for a spot" list.

I'd certainly hope not...Parrish's punt returns are almost unquestionably one of the best things about this team. Break out the tar and feathers if April takes him out of there.

The recievers who talk trash would be my guess.

I think first priority should be updating your handle...BDW2008 seems suitable.

WR, DE, TE, FS, C?

The Colts, Giants, Jaguars, Browns, Steelers, Seahawks, Titans and Buccaneers all had winning records last year. Seven of those 8 were 10-6 or better.

I'd say McGee would be somewhere around 15th-20th, and Greer would be somewhere around 45th-50th, making him a middle-of-the-pack #2.

Or maybe they think they've fixed the issue, adding Stroud, S. Johnson, Denney and Ellis? Call me skeptical about the Bills' pass rush...but I'm not the one in charge. I think chances are they believe the rush will be much-improved.

Someone forgot to get Mr. Polian that memo, I suppose.

I feel completely justified in expecting McKelvin to start by opening day in year 2, and expecting him to be a top-10 NFL corner by year 4. My view is that this pick came at a position where the Bills already had 2 solid starters and a good nickel back. In order for the pick to be justified, McKelvin has to be significantly better than Greer. The above expectations are the only way for that to be the case, in my opinion, so unfortunately the expectations being put on the kid are pretty steep ones. If he's just another Terrence McGee (in other words a solid starter), the pick doesn't make sense to me. He needs to be something special, or the pick was botched.

Um...McGee needs to return to his 2006 form? The form that got him benched? He didn't regress last season, he finally established himself. You got this completely backwards. He's not a "stop-gap type," he's a long-term starting cornerback. One of the few good things about the McKelvin pick is that I don't have to read about people whining about cornerbacks anymore when we have no pass rush. Please, at least give me that.

We have five corners and draft another? It's rediculous. This should have been all offense after the first round. I agree with the other guy. Get ready to see a lot of the defense this year.

Regardless of how much money they make, if they continue to fail to produce a pass rush, competition must be brought in. We can't just continue with an anemic pass rush because we gave these guys decent contracts.

Can you post the scouting report?

I mean Guy and Modrak, the true 'draft guys.'

The current Bills regime also historically drafts well, do they not?

Both articles note he has reliable, natural hands. He may not have the upside to become a dominant player at the tight end position, but he seems like he can become a good reliable target if he can stay on the field.
