Paup 1995MVP Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 You want to dump Glenn??? Crazy talk. Why can't Dawkins be as good as Glenn, if not better? The Bills overpaid Cordy Glenn. He is a good but not great offensive tackle. He is injured a lot. And does not dominate many D lineman. For whatever reason, he has been elevated to legendary status by the media and Bills fans for some unknown reason. Would you be seriously devasted if we were able to trade him for fair value? I am liking what Dion Dawkins is bringing to the table at left tackle. Now rt tackle is another story. Mills is pretty rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paup 1995MVP Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 This Bills team reminds me some of the 2003 Panthers that played the Patriots in the most underrated Super Bowl ever. They came out of nowhere and went 13-3 that year w Jake Delhome at QB. (The cajun gunner) I love our defense. Everyone is playing well. Poyer and Hyde are perfect fits for this scheme. As are Gaines and White. Is there a better secondary right now then ours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewMexBills Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 2001 Dick Jaurons Chicago Bears - Surprising breakout season - the league's top defense - 13-3 Record - I recall that team be very limited on Offense in regards to "star power" and average QB numbers - A ferocious defense that provided turnovers and points that helped flip games.

Boatdrinks Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Not a Bills team, but2012-2015 Seahawks. Great D kept them in every game despite mediocre production on O. This D is playing well. I don't see them as in the same class as that dominating , physically punishing outfit you're referring to . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) I like what I've seen so far with McD and how he is rubbing off in a positive way on the team. hard working and always looking to get better. motivational. early, but impressive none the less. Sean McVay, Deshaun Watson lead NFL bandwagons to hop on 4) Sean McDermott's Buffalo Bills Like the Rams, the Bills suddenly have a real coach and it's awesome. Rex Ryan ran an undisciplined clown show in Buffalo. McDermott's team is buttoned-up and playing great. During the offseason, I touched on the 2017 Bills' potential to surprise, but never in a million years expected they'd begin October alone in first place. Heck, they are one Zay Jones catch (or Tyrod Taylor throw) in Carolina away from being 4-0! Winning at Atlanta was a statement to the rest of the NFL. I don't want to hear about Falcons injuries and Julio Jones getting nicked. I don't want to hear about the officials. The Falcons had more talent on the field, yet Buffalo stormed Atlanta's gorgeous new building and beat the home team. And the Billsappropriately sealed the deal with a defensive stand at the end. That's McDermott's specialty. That's a fantastic 23-17 win. Tyrod Taylor has been very solid. LeSean McCoy has bought in and played quite well. And the future is incredibly bright, with a whole bunch of draft picks stockpiled for 2018 and beyond. Remember when everyone claimed this team was tanking? Buffalo is winning now and primed for the future. A legit plan and coach in Buffalo. What a concept http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000855288/article/sean-mcvay-deshaun-watson-lead-nfl-bandwagons-to-hop-on By Adam Schein NFL.com Columnist Published: Oct. 2, 2017 oh and I disagree with the OP. although some like to make comparisons, I see no real comparison of the two. McD is his own man, running it his way. I like that. Edited October 2, 2017 by DaBillsFanSince1973 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seriously hope not. That Bears team was the luckiest team in the history of sports... until they got absolutely demolished in their first playoff game.

Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Why can't Dawkins be as good as Glenn, if not better? The Bills overpaid Cordy Glenn.

I am liking what Dion Dawkins is bringing to the table at left tackle. Now rt tackle is another story. Mills is pretty rough. The structure of Glenn's deal virtually ensures that he will remain with the team through at least the first two seasons of the contract, and very likely through the first three seasons of his deal. Because Glenn's entire 2017 salary is guaranteed and $8 million of his 2018 salary is guaranteed (although the conditions of that guarantee were not made clear in NFLPA records), it is unlikely the team will cut ties with Glenn before 2019. Just need to get him and Darius back on the field. You are wrong. Glenn is a top flight LT. The 2nd best player on the team abd we did most definitely not overpay him. I'd have to agree that he is only average and overpaid for 2017 and 2018 but after that he becomes a bargain. From ESPN Rodak in May 2016: http://www.espn.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/24629/bills-deal-with-cordy-glenn-considered-among-most-player-friendly Here are the details of his deal: 2017 SEASON Base salary: $9 million (guaranteed) Signing bonus proration: $3.2 million Roster bonus: $2 million Cap number: $14.2 million 2018 SEASON Base salary: $9.25 million ($8 million guaranteed) Signing bonus proration: $3.2 million Roster bonus: $2 million Cap number: $14.45 million 2019 SEASON Base salary: $7.25 million Signing bonus proration: $3.2 million Roster bonus: $2 million Cap number: $12.45 million 2020 SEASON Base salary: $7.5 million Signing bonus proration: $3.2 million Roster bonus: $2 million Cap number: $12.7 million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QCity Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The Chiefs of recent years are probably the best analogue. They showcase a defense that isn't exactly loaded with star talent, but rather focuses on scheme and execution (they run a lot more dime and nickel than a typical 3-4). They run a low-risk offense that's based around the run where the priority is not making mistakes and not turning the ball over. That's what we've seen so far from our team this year.

BillsFan4 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I realize I might be going way out on a limb with this one and some may call me crazy, but... I really think they look identical to the way the 2017 Bills did 4 games into the season. Anyone else see it too, or is I just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
