Pine Barrens Mafia Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 It can't get any worse since its been bad for the past 20 years. Really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) Yep. Brady is going roast who ever is out there. It's been happening for the past 15+ years. We need to be able to do what we never can do. Outscore someone. In order to do that you need a QB along with a coach who values offense. We haven't had either in a long time.Um only two teams scored more TDs than the Bills this year going into week 17 when TT sat, Atl and Saints. Scoring was NOT our problem. Yet, if you remove the fluke shutout against Pats missing Brady, Jimmy, and Gronk, we were 26th in the NFL in giving up points. So clearly, preventing scores was a massively bigger problem than scoring this season. And we basically lost our only good WR for the bulk of the season as he basically played two games where he was sort of healthy. Yet still scored over 26 points per game in TT 15 starts, including 10 games over 25. Yet in the 15 games outside that fluke shutout, we gave up over 25 points per game. So there's those pesky facts again... PS: the last 2 seasons is the highest scoring 2 year period in bills history outside the first 3 SB years.

Bronc24 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I got a page and a half into this thread and was infuriated. The Bills finally do something we always praise the Patriots for, trade down...acquire picks and pick a solid need player...then they get roundly criticized for not making a "sexy" pick and not acquiring more. Unbelievable. We won the trade and made a great pick. On to day 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricane Marv Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I really feel like a lot of people are conveniently overlooking the additional picks when complaining about this pick. This is not a CB for CB swap. This is a CB swapped for a CB, a 1st, a 3rd, and a ton of saved money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_with_it Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) I wonder if he wasnt somewhat of a product of LSUs backfield. I guess time will tell. I seem to remember on occasion White getting burned deep. Edited April 28, 2017 by Bill_with_it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 lol, people hated it. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/178054-rd-2-pick-50-db-ronald-darby-florida-state/ But yes, rational people saw the point. Same here Hey, I saw it there and was an early one to note it... I'll stand by that it's not crazy to cycle DBs if committing to something else but i don't think we had cards land the best way possible this offseason Like I've been saying-- good kid, talented and a need. Like adding picks but think we left something on the table looking at the offseason as a wider picture and don't think that's just using hindsight. I can talk myself into most of the individual choices but don't think we maximized synergy between some of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 The only good thing about tonight is that they're in the drivers seat for a QB next year and hopefully Whaley won't be in the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

without a drought Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 February 2020, the New England Patriots sign Buffalo Bills cornerback Tre'davious White in free agency to a 5 year 20M a year contract. Let's hope he's that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) And remember one of the best defenses in the NFL did this. (For all those Foster fans) A Darlington Tweet. Man, how unimpressed must John Schneider be with Reuben Foster to not only pass on him at No. 31 -- but hand him over to a division rival?

McDermott at one point corrected himself by saying "we," but it served as another sign that GM Doug Whaley's role is diminished. Whaley has not spoken to reporters since the Senior Bowl in January.
