KurtGodel77 Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 New York A day before the start of the "legal tampering" period, Brandon Beane received an unexpected text. "You are temporarily removed from control over the Buffalo Bills." Beane did some digging. The text was not a hoax. McDermott had received an identical message. "It's not just about the loss of control," Beane explained. "It's about implementing a specific plan. I know nothing about this 'BillfromNYC.' How do I know he's willing to do what it will take to keep Josh Allen upright?" Beane need not have worried. BillfromNYC hit the ground running, signing six offensive linemen. "And there's room for more!" Bill shouted, while slamming his fist down onto the table. Bill also signed a defensive back. "Contrary to popular belief, I never said the defensive secondary was irrelevant," BillfromNYC explained, "I said its importance was secondary. The offensive line is six times as important. Signing one defensive back for every six offensive linemen seemed about right." Critics have accused BillfromNYC of being obsessed about the offensive line. He doesn't seem bothered. "They think I'm obsessed now? he asked, seeming a little incredulous. "Those critics have no idea what actual obsession looks like. But, if I'm still in control of this team during the draft, I'll be happy to show them!" he chuckled. Most Bills fans are supportive of the move. One Bills fan had the following to say, "Our offensive line was a complete joke last year. I want to see what Josh Allen can do, when given a clean pocket from which to work. Kudos to BillfromNYC for giving him that." Such praise makes BillfromNYC uncomfortable. "I have a lot more work to do on the offensive line, before I'll consider the result remotely close to satisfactory," he said. "I've gotten things started, but that's all I've done!" 5 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Long Beach Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Thanks for the good laugh this morning! Yes this is an inside joke for the board members who've been around. Long time poster BillfromNYC LOATHES high defensive back draft picks. He went apoplectic when we drafted Whitner over Ngata. Which, to be fair, he was right on. But we've also drafted some very good secondary players such as Tre, Byrd, and Gilmore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers and McCarthy are both upstanding men who just couldn't see eye to eye. Everyone is really an outstanding human being. Go Bills. Go Pack! On a serious note, I'm glad we upgraded the offensive personnel, but I don't get the joke here and perhaps it's better that way.

We were a revolving door for 1st round DBs as far back as Clements (who was also very good), or even T.Smith. Now we have a quarterback, added blockers, and yes, hopefully we will add some more. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the playoff drought, a common pattern was this: the Bills would use a first round pick on a DB or RB. That DB or RB would go first-contract-and-out, at which point the front office would use another first round pick on his replacement. Early picks were being spent like water on DBs and RBs, and that came at the direct expense of the offensive line. In the early 2000s Bill Belichick referred to the Bills' offensive line as "horse manure," and that assessment has remained accurate for most years since then. Poor offensive line play has seriously harmed both the running and passing games for most of the past two decades. During that time, BillfromNYC became known for two things. 1) His "A few thoughts about the game (in no particular order)" thread, created after each game. Virgil has since taken over that task. 2) His desire to see the Bills use early picks on the offensive line, not on DBs or RBs. Out of everyone here, BillfromNYC was considered the most focused on the offensive line. Edited April 12, 2019 by KurtGodel77 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
