Paup 1995MVP

I am all for that move KJ if we can get a starting caliber WR or LB in return. I think both McGovern and Edwards are better players than Dawkins. I think Dawkins is solid, but Bills fans overvalue certain players because they are good in the community. (See Tre White)

Gabe seems like he would replace Coleman more than Samuel. I think Samuel has way more skill than Coleman, if he can stay healthy, and we start throwing him the ball. As raw as Coleman looks, not sure he could start on a lot of college teams. (Although he probably could on my beloved Wolverines, as we have one of the worst WR group in America. We just love to run run run...Play some pretty nasty defense... And run run run some more.)

You are correct. There certainly are. McDaniel is in over his head as the head coach. And there are a lot of distractions in South Florida. I live part time in Fort Lauderdale. And my boys who are in their 20's live in Miami. A lot of fun, (if you know what I mean) that can take your focus away from what you should be prioritizing. In the high rise I live in down there, I rode up the elevator one day with this huge dude. I had a Bills T shirt on. And he made a favorable comment about Bills Mafia. I asked who he was. And it was Patrick Paul. The Dolphins Left OT. He was real friendly. Just massive. And I am over 6 feet.

You think the players care if the GM gets fired? I don't think many do. I think most just go about their business like any other job. And try and focus as much as possible about what they can control. Its a rivalry game. And its on the road. And Tua always gets a bunch of completions against are less than stellar secondary. But if we get a solid pass rush against him, he is done. (I would like to see Hairston locked up on Waddle all game long. Because Tre and even Benford can not stay with him.) And it will be hot on Sunday in Miami. At least mid 80's. We need to have the same mindset every week, just like we did against the Panthers and the Chiefs. Lets go Buffalo. Bills Mafia should be bringing it at the Elbo Room in Fort Lauderdale all weekend long.

Samuel Moore and Palmer can all catch deeper routes. And Moore and Samuel are quick enough on the flats to get YAC. You have to wonder how much say #17 has in the play calling and game plan each week. (He certainly should) And should be talking with the coaching staff about what he wants incorporated in the offense passing wise on a week to week basis. The deep cross he hit Kincaid with in the second against KC was a thing of beauty, and can be run with just about every receiver we have.

I think you summed it up well Alpha. (You usually bring a voice of reason to the party.) That being said it falls on Joe Brady (who I am not particularly fond of as a play caller) to make our vertical passing game go. Be it any of our receivers (other than Keon-because he can not catch any ball while being covered down field) named Moore Samuel Kincaid Shavers Palmer or Knox, heck even Hawes, he needs to scheme up plays for Josh to hit relatively deep down the field. We are not going to the Super Bowl if we can not improve on that part of our offense.

It sure would Run the Ball. A cringe just thinking about that. Remember that happening to Derrick Thomas years ago when he was in a car accident on an icy road on the way to the airport? Dam that sucks. That is nice money for a young person to be making. I would be happy if my three young adult kids were making that combined. It would sure save me a lot of cash and headache:) That is good money for a young person. I sure hope he can come back and play. The kid had talent. But that Stenosis in the Cervical Spine (narrowing of the spinal canal is probably congenital, and was likely aggravated from the injury in practice) can be a serious thing. Remember Derrick Burroughs having to retire with something like that in the late 80's? He was a real good CB also.

Oh boy, my son text me a while ago and said he would give up 2 first round picks. I said no way. And the biggest reason is because I am not sure the coaching staff we have knows how to incorporate a high level WR into the offense. That being said I would give up next years 1st for Garrett Wilson. I just looked at this years stats for Wilson and they are a little above pedestrian. But he has Justin Fields throwing him the ball. So there you go KJ. Give the Jets our first next year, and lets go. I think Beane is pretty bad with his draft picks. And I would not be opposed to trading most if not all of our picks for next year to bring in help at WR, DL and LB or DB to give us a great chance to win the bowl.

I agree with most of your posts. But you seem off on Kincaid and his ability. The guy is our best receiving weapon and should be getting 12+ targets per game. He is a talented player. My god the Cowboys throw all game to Jake Ferguson, and he is nowhere near the game changer that Kincaid is. Running was fine against the Chiefs at home mid season. But to get to the Super Bowl we are going to need to pass the ball down the field. We will be too easy to defend come the playoffs if we have no downfield passing game.

Agree Taron sucks at this point. If we can get rid of him after this year, it would be great. He has gotten the most out of his game. Guy is just too small to keep playing at a high level in the NFL. And Cam Lewis looked good against the Chiefs. We don't have to have the smallest defense in the NFL to be successful. Someone may want to let McDermott know that.

Wasn't the guy a 5th round pick? How much of a bonus did he get? And I doubt his contract is guaranteed. That's not a large amount of money in the grand scheme of how much it costs to live in this era. The money isn't nearly as big as having your dream cut short almost before it started. That sucks.

That's awful. Sucks for him and it sucks for us. This sounds like it could be Derrick Burroughs all over again. Wasn't the injury in practice too? The body can only take so much punishment playing football between practices and games over a lifetime.

That's what message boards are for. Critiquing your team. And celebrating the win. Sure it was an awesome victory. Had me standing screaming and pacing. But the decision making by McDermott in crunch time has always been less than stellar. My problem is all the defensive TO's we seem to take because guys don't know where to line up on defense a lot of the time pre snap. And I blame McDermott because I think his defense is too complicated for a lot of the younger guys to grasp. Make it easy, and let them run and hit. As for kicking the FG, I had no problem with that. Prater almost made it. What I did not like at the end was the play calling on offense. Sending Cook 3 times into the line was not going to work. We have Josh. Let him run at least one bootleg. Great chance of getting the 1st down. Or let him throw a short pass and get the 1st down. We never throw short over the middle anymore. Its always that stupid behind the LOS out pass to Shakir. Sure an incompletion stops the clock without KC burning a TO. But Josh was 23 for 26 at that point. Need more confidence in the passing game.

I said that to my son when he text me the news. Good move for the Jets. But the Colts are overrated too. They came down to earth this Sunday. Look at their wins. Only solid ones are the 1 pointer over the Broncos, and the win over the Chargers in LA. I like our chances against them in the playoffs with Daniel Jones Quarterbacking them.

You want to rely on Landon Jackson on a team that has Super Bowl aspirations? That’s not smart. Amd we also need a big time LB too. Bernard and Milano look awful at this point. Need Thompson back. The rest are eminently replaceable.
