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...

BillfromNYC's game recaps and the debates they provoked are what drew me to this board. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler#81 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I chatted with BillfromNYC about this curious thread. Ever the class act, he isn’t fazed by it. So this is on me. Note to OP; Don’t do it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
