Bills won’t draft an olineman on Day 1 or 2 of the draft and they may not draft any
 

they will roster 9 and I think they are perfectly fine going into the season with Dawkins, McGovern, Morse, bates, brown, edwards, Doyle, Quesenberry, and Ike

 

I don’t think they’ll be counting on Doyle to go into the season due to his ACL.  So they’ll add one more.

 

But it might be Bobby Hart 🤪

 

(I think that will qualify as an unpopular opinion)

I’ll keep it to the current team. The coaching staff isn’t good enough. They are holding the team back. They were great to build a program but someone else needs to take them over the hump.

 

Dwayne Casey won coach of the year and was fired that offseason. The Raptors won a title shortly thereafter. I wanted Sean Payton this year. I don’t think McDermott should have immunity. It is Super Bowl or bust this year for him. We cannot waste the best years of Josh Allen.

Again, judging by what I read here, I don’t think that’s an unpopular opinion

 

I don’t mean I personally agree with that opinion, I’m saying that I read stuff that amounts to that opinion on a regular basis.

McDermott and Beane are way overrated. 

I wouldn’t put Buffalo Bills GM Brandon Beane in the overrated category but definitely the head coach “Mr 13 seconds” Sean McDermott. If Sean McDermott gets fired at the end of next season he has only himself to blame. Sean McDermott wouldn’t be getting the garbage he is getting if he was just a leader admitted that 13 seconds is on me after the Kansas City Chiefs playoff game as a head coach this wouldn’t be happening. Then Sean McDermott makes it worse still refusing to be a leader accepting some blame for coming up short.
 

Oh no Sean McDermott can’t be a leader and accept responsibility as the Buffalo Bills head coach. Nothing to see here Bills fans Leslie Frazier isn’t coming back. Leslie Frazier was fired Sean McDermott couldn’t be a leader enough saying “I fired Leslie Frazier to deflect blame from me” because I am learning on the job and I tend to panic in pressure situations. Because remember it is never Sean McDermott fault self job preservation. Sean McDermott is getting fired we know how this is going to end from seeing it before from head coaches with huge egos unfortunately. The Bills football team are weaker now. Sean McDermott taking over the defense when he can’t handle being a good head coach what could go wrong? I expect the Bills to at worse get to the Super Bowl or surely Sean McDermott needs to be fired all because he couldn’t be a leader and accept personal responsibility for failing as a head coach it would have bought Sean McDermott more time if the bum accept responsibility it’s not too late opening day of training camp I failed Western New York for two years and I need to be a better Bills head coach admit that I am good as a Bills fan. Don’t spin and double down that gets you fired in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo 

[GreggTX]

Mc Dermott can win a SB. Andy Reid was fired in Philly after playoff losses with McNabb at QB. Mahomes is making him look great. Now people are saying the same things about McDermott that they said about Reid. They are wrong. We just need a really good draft or 2 and a couple 'lucky bounces' in a relatively imjury free season and it will be our turn.

A few of mine:

 

James Cook is a below average RB and is a significant step down from Motor.

 

The biggest position of need on the team is the d-line and they should use their first round pick on a lineman (again).

 

Ken Dorsey is a better playcaller than Brian Daboll. But Daboll knew how to coach Allen better.

 

The Bills will never have a head coaching advantage in a playoff game under this regime.

I pretty much agree on points 2 and 4. Keep drafting DL--- eventually, you have to hit on one--- right?

Dion Dawkins keeps on coming into shape to camp but the shape is a donut.  He gets fat and lazy in the off-season.
 

I also feel that the team needs a dome and that the team plays better in those conditions perhaps a real bruiser running back changes that situation

 

Dawson Knox was over paid

 

With the exception of Groot, none of the defensive ends, we have drafted are better than journeyman

 

 

Beasley is washed

I agree on points one and 4-- but would not call Rousseau an exception at this point.

[freddyjj]

The introduction of the Billy Buffalo mascot was directly responsible for the drought. 

[Locomark]

Don’t draft a WR this year in the first 3 rounds unless an awesome prospect falls in your lap and trade back from round 1. They are a dime a dozen every year and we need LB, DL, OL, and safety depth much more. Especially since our interior DL will be thin next year with 3 contracts expiring. Draft WRs (multiple) next year.

In what possible way is this an unpopular opinion since it seems to be shared by half the people on the board?

[DCofNC]

Cole Beasley is mostly right in his opinions.

[ProcessTruster]

That with continual, marginal roster improvement every year and Josh Allen as QB, the McBeane Bills will win the SB.

 

Rams "burn it all down" method to get one trophy is about the most hollow, most quickly forgotten title in sports history.  

[Shemp]

. Except for Rousseau, Bills drafting of D line in the past gives me very little hope that they draft effective defense this year and in the future

. Bills should retain Beasley

. Hamlin should retire; he's lucky enough to be alive...or is he?

. Besides Diggs, there's a fair amount of dissention on the Bills. Look at all the guys that left. Could we be going back to the "Bickering Bills?"

.The recent OLine additions are of players who will get hurt and will not help. The Bills builders are ignoring the OLine and are using hopium

. Josh Allen can't throw an accurate deep ball consistently and his rocket passes and lack of foresight, plus little understanding how to adjust to plays while they happen, lead players and set up and throw proper velocity for the situation prevent YAC, screens etc. He also has difficulty finding the wide open man and he will not utilize running backs in the passing game. He'd rather scramble and run. I think he might have peripheral vision problems.

. Dawson Knox is a below average TE

. Von Miller might be finished and if not, he'll get hurt longterm again. Pegula made a Pujols-to-the Angels type move with Miller.

. Bills should definitely tear up that horrible turf and switch to natural grass. How many turf toes, ankle and knees have to get ruined to come

to that conclusion? 

. If the Bills don't win the SB this year, and they won't, it will be Diggs final year with the Bills

. Bring back the Buffalo Jills! End that stupid squabble between the Pegulas and the Jills

. Kathy Hochul is a nut

.  Bills Stadium is built on an old Indian burial ground...this is all you need to know about the Bills curse.

There are eye rolls attached. A LOT of Bills fans believe that McDermott is invincible. If we were to run a poll on here that said something like, “If the Bills lose in the Divisional Round this year, should they fire McDermott?” I would bet that the majority would want to retain him. I don’t think that he can stay even with a Championship Game appearance. If his team isn’t playing for the Super Bowl this year someone else needs to be coaching this team next year.

It's fun when we win and are in the mix. 

I'm not overly worked up about the playoff thing.

You said unpopular? How about this:

1. Leslie Fraiser's call on that infamous 3rd and 4 play in the Bengals game was the correct one. Everyone talks about 3rd and 4, but everyone forgets that the play was 3rd and 4 on the Bills 14 yard line. A soft zone concedes the first down but prevents the TD. Not only that but the closer a defense is playing to the goal line the less that they have to worry about WRs getting behind the DBs on a slippery field. All of this was intentional and we know this because the coverage tightened up after that play.
2. The game was lost when Josh Allen overthrew Diggs on the first drive. If he hits that throw, the game would have been a shootout instead of a blowout. 
3. Tremaine Edmonds was an excellent MLB for the Bills and his absence will be noted. 

I don't like your profile picture French Connection.  It does not work for me, fyi.  Sorry, I always think this.  I like your posts.  I have never said anything, but, this thread seems like a good place to share my thought.  Sorry, not trying to be personal, it just doesn't fit for me.  I am sure it is important to you.

I can't remember seeing anybody here, even if they support McDermott, saying he is "invincible." It doesn't help your argument to mischaracterize those who disagree with you.

I think the two Bills opinions I have that are unpopular in terms of this forum as it has been recently would be: 

 

1. Ed Oliver is one of our top defensive players.

 

2. Josh Allen didn't play well enough in the post season this past January. 

 

Those are reasonable, and it's funny that support for one of our players would be unpopular.  Strange.  LOL  

 

Having said that, your statement about Oliver is relative.  He's easily the best DL-man, but that's not saying much.  He also posts a game that makes you say "wow," but then disappears for three or four games making you wonder whether he was even on the field.  

 

As to Allen's postseason play, agreed, but which of our players did step up?  A couple did, literally, as in a couple, but almost none.  Coaching didn't show up either for that matter.  

 

We squeaked by a Skylar Thompson-led Miami which beefed up the offensive post-season stats only, but it was far from impressive and there's no way that they should even have been in that game in the 2nd half.  

 

Just sayin', I agree with you generally speaking.

I've noticed that when somebody offers an overwhelmingly negative opinion they always label it the "truth." As if a positive opinion is automatically untrue.

[Another Fan]

The Fitz love nowadays sometimes seems a little weird to me.  I know he's a very likeable guy and seems to have fully embraced being a Bills fan in his retired life.  But after he got that contract extension in 2011 he played average at best.  His stats in 2012 only look respectable because a fair amount of those TD's came in garbage time situations.  And if he had a solid game he would ruin it a fair amount of times by throwing a dumb INT late.  The 2012 Titans game for example.

 

 

Speaking of 2012 this was the season as a Bills fan I felt the team had the most disappointing season of my life at least in terms of not meeting pre-season expectations.  

 

 

The 2021 playoff loss to the Chiefs wasn't that horrible for me to digest because prior to the game my gut said the Bills would lose a close game.
