JoPar_v2 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Stunning in its completeness. Wrong in every one of its varied points. Even the easiest stuff to look up, like dead money. It is almost like he put in actual effort to make sure he was completely, 100% wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard bills fan Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 No worries. Just use our #1 pick next year on a DT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 This is a concern. But, the way this management has operated, did anyone really believe Dareus would be here next year? Answer: No. My biggest question is only a 6th? 6th rounds picks have a low chance of making a team in the NFL--not much value in return, other than the cap money saved. Buffalo had 0 takers in the preseason. If they waited til the end of the year their would be no interest because of his contract and an understanding that he will be cut. 6th rd is all they were offered. Daures played his best game of the year. He played in 57% of snaps made a tackle. Its not like he was dominating. That 3rd and long off sides was most likely the lasting image of him. He has went Haynesworth. I respect what the new regime is trying to do and implement. There needs to be more than just talent to justify the big salaries.

Fixxxer Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) All I know right now is that Worhty, Thornton and Washington better step up their game because the coaching staff and FO have sent a big message by trading Dareus.

xsoldier54 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 It seems Jacksonville inherited all dead space that Dareus would have caused us, so I like this move. Still, our DL looks really bad right now. Hughes is having his best season to date, but Kyle is nowhere near probowl caliber any more. Shaq is a real disappointment thus far and our remaining DT's are just dumpster diver quality. At LB, Lorenzo is the only LB having a decent season and Lorenzo's play has also fallen off. Our defense may struggle as we near the end of the season. They've looked pretty soft these last 2 games anyways. How is our cap space looking now? The defense is the reason that we're 4-2. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing this post gets right is that Kyle isn't quite the same player he was 5 years ago. Even still he is on par or better than a good chunk of DTs in the league. Shaq is doing his job. Just because the sacks aren't there doesn't mean he's not playing the run at a solid level. Alexander has been fine...did you forget how solid Humber has looked? He will be back soon. Heck, Milano has played really well for a rookie as well. If you tune in and watch games even with a small amount of knowledge you will see how awful your attempt at this hot take is.

SaviorPeterman Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Not sure the dline is in shambles, but next year it will no doubt look very different without Dareus. I also think this is Kyle Williams last season in Buffalo and he's not exactly playing like he has in years past anyway. So at minimum we are probably looking at 2 new starters but we certainly have the draft capital to get some good players in the front seven among other areas of need for this team.

billsbackto81 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Sets the edge very well. True. I can't think of a RB this season that has gotten to the sidelines for big gains yet. But of course everyone looks for the sexy sack numbers. Bills we're Top 5 with Pettine and Schwartz and no post season to show for it. Let's try McDs approach shall we.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I don't know about shambles, but they are certainly less stout up front and now have less depth. If they sustain any DT injuries....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I like (as in really, really like) dumping Dareus. Having said that: he was still playing reasonably well when he was out there. PFF had him ranked "above average." For comparison: Kyle: average Thornton: below average Worthy: poor Adolphus: poor So assuming Dareus would be on the field (a big assumption), they do take an immediate hit by trading him. The alternatives are kind of replacement level players. Adolphus has more talent, but they seem to be giving up on him, at least as an inside player. And it is also true that injuries are catching up with the D. So I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't take a step back in the short term. But again, I still love the trade since it opens up tons of options for 2018 and beyond. im actually pretty high on Worthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_with_it Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 But Marcel was a huge part of that............... He was in on only 1/3 of the snaps. He missed the equivalent of two full games of defensive snaps. Thats just ridiculous. When I see people posting 'tackles schmackles' posts, I suspect their understanding of what causes an offensive play to end. I'm a bit too gentile to use the qualifier 'zero', but it's possible you may catch on. I saw the same 'argument' about Mario Williams in his last year and many other conclusive has-beens. You don't make tackles, you won't be in this league for much longer. You can get an appropriately priced sand bag at Home Depot and it doesn't even wear a Captain's hat or get suspended. I dont feel like this post will get the proper attention and credit it deserves.This is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7975 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Shambles. They are toast. Every team is going to put 30+ on us from here on out. Take it to the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timtebow15 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 There are two people to blame for where we are: Whaley for giving a guy with known issues including poor work habits an unwise contract extension. Then blame the player who can only get on the field for half the snaps and is one headline away from being untradeable. Neither of these are on the new GM or coach. Credit them for being smart enough to understand what many past administrations have not: you can't motivate a player that doesn't want to be motivated and you can't build a winning culture by being hypocritical and carrying players who aren't focused on winning.

I don't think the situation is that dire but with or without Dareus this defense has always been smoke and mirrors and certainly trending in the wrong direction the last few weeks. I'll be very surprised if we do hold the Raiders to under 30 points and Carr has less than 300 yards tomorrow, don't see it happening though.
