Being a Bills fan means that you are constantly reminded of the fact that you can plan your plans and dream your dreams, but all that's waiting for you in the end is the cold embrace of death.

On the bright side, this probably means that the Bills will trade a 3rd-round pick for Mullens in the offseason.
Sigh. I may actually be ok with that.On the bright side, this probably means that the Bills will trade a 3rd-round pick for Mullens in the offseason.
Really silly. That's what sold the previous regime on EJ Manuel. Scouts and evaluators have become so obsessed with measurables and numbers that they don't even focus on what really matters: can he play? Watson was a gamer, but there were questions about his size by those in the NFL. Silly really. He was the guy I wanted last year until we traded down. Mahomes is awesome and easy to say we should have taken him, but he was a project because of the gunslinger Ryan Fitzpatrick mentality, learning behind Alex Smith helped him, but he wouldn't have had that development here.GroveDiesel said:
They have no dead money beyond this year. Really, I'm surprised they didn't move him. He's not going to be productive with this OL. They could've gotten something for him. Let Ivory take the beating between the tackles. I mean, we have to be addressing RB in the off-season due to McCoy's age.
I'm not surprised they didn't move him considering their rumored asking price. He's old, overpaid, and unproductive- they should take whatever they can get, and if that's nothing, cut him.
We'll only need one more new starter this season to match our run in 1968. I hear EJ Manuel is available.
I have to imagine that this team is absolutely crazy to cover for reporters. They have 7 horrible losses where there really weren't a single positive to latch on to, and then 3 total blowout wins that don't make a shred of sense.
And now with Peterman released, we've taken away our opponent's best weapon.GroveDiesel said:
Tate, Cobb, John Brown. Those guys wouldn’t be bad FA pickups.
None of those. Tyrell Williams and someone like Cole Beasley with a high draft pick rookie coming in as well.
Yeah, no thanks to Tate or Cobb. With Tate I could see him becoming complacent if Allen doesn't get him the ball enough - too much of a diva. Cobb is struggling with Rodgers as his QB - enough said, and he's only reliable to play maybe 10 games. Beasley? Meh...if he's cheap, sure. I don't really see him as an impact player though.
I know everybody always says "best player available," but I would be tempted to go WR or OL for every single pick.
I just don't think Tate fits well with Josh Allen. Tate is a YAC monster, but one critical component to that is an accurate thrower of shorter routes that hits Tate in stride, and I just don't think Josh Allen is the guy for that. Tall guys like Benjamin or Funchess should be perfect for Josh, but unfortunately neither has much talent. I'd rather look for a technician that can get separation or a burner, since we know Josh can sling it deep.
That’s a good point. I was thinking the YAK would be good for Allen. But someone like Tate does do better with accurate, hit in stride kind of throws.
I get what you're saying, but to be a success Allen is going to have to develop some semblance of an intermediate game. What better way to see if he can improve there than one of the best WRs at that craft. I would hope they can pick up a big (or fast) outside WR or two in the draft.
I don't know about his route running, but I do recall watching him drop a lot of passes in the pre-season. Hopefully that was just some jitters. The catch he had on the deep route against Jax was a heck of a catch.
I’ve actually read this is supposed to be a pretty good class for DL and WR’s. We’re obviously out of the running for Bosa, Williams and Oliver, but still some serious talent later on. And the same for WR’s. Keep hearing no sure fire stud, but a very deep class.
I think they’ll end then year on a good run so they could end up drafting in the middle of the first as usual.
I was initially mad every time they won a game because I really wanted a top 3 pick. But I think what’s most important is Josh improving and this team building.
Yeah, I've been kind of bummed they keep winning games. I wouldn't be shocked if they end up with 8 wins. 6 seems like almost a lock.
I agree that Allen developing is the #1 priority, but that was always going to be tough to gauge with such little talent around him. I agree as well going forward, if he plays well and they win that would be good, but he didn't even play in the win against the Jets, and was 8/19 passing in the win last week.Mr. Peterson said:
If so, it's a lot easier/less costly to do from the ~5 spot than the ~12.OldMilwaukee said:
Agreed with the first part, but they aren't mutually exclusive. Disagree with the 2nd- getting higher picks can certainly help the QB develop.IvanKaramazov said:
Agreed. If he was looking great, I'd have no problem with the wins. It's almost the worst case scenario- they've learned next to nothing about Allen's long term outlook, yet they're playing their way out of a top draft choice that could help him (and the team).
