Bleeding Bills Blue

Schlicter's wikipedia page is pretty nuts when you read through it. There's like a 2 inch article about his football career. Then like 5 pages of gambling, stealing, fraud... pretty crazy.

I mean - is it... all time criminal disappointments? Or are we looking for actually talented players? Schlicter and Marinovich's career lines are... ummm. not good. They barely played

Gotta have Juice in there! Larry Johnson had a decent couple of years too Chad Johnson/TO combo - worked for the bengals right? Tyreek hill in the slot, assuming this all plays out like it probably will.

Maybe... for once... we'll play NE in the first 4 weeks of the season when they tend to struggle. We probably have never beaten them in december unless brady literally just sat on the bench. This is the year baby! Bury em!!

The downtown Buffalo casino honestly isn't bad. They charge for drinks though... like cmon - you're raking in money and you gotta charge me 8 bucks for a 7 and 7?

Yeah - i don't think you want to create like a horse-racing type of atmosphere though where the sole reason you are there is to gamble.

If some flaming idiot jumped through a craps table they would have some angry gamblers on their hands ?

I'd prefer they throw some table games in

Things I'd like to see - Starts all 16 games - 60+ completion percentage, and close to 4000 in the air. A real NFL offense. - 25+ TDs in the air - im cool with a few extra's on the ground but I want more damage with his arm. - Sub 20 total turnovers as a team - 32 is way too many. We were 6-0 when we had fewer than 2 turnovers, and 0-10 when we had more than 2. - Score 13+ in every game. We can't have so many stinker gameplans where we just looked totally inept as a team. If Allen can hit these benchmarks, and we have a solid running game - we will make the playoffs.

I'm sure he had a rather large backyard. Guy was living in a gatsby mansion.

I'm not sure - the offense we had built was around 50/50 balls, backshoulders, and running. It didn't work. It was horrible. We couldn't beat man coverage. It was especially horrible with a rookie QB and a bad o-line. By the end of the year, we added speed and vertical threats - went back to some rhythm passing (which allen still struggles with), and completely abandoned the offense in the first 8-10 weeks of the year.

The way they approached free agency was too address holes and add competition. We still need blue Chip players on both sides of the ball. I hope they either trade down for some depth, or go best player available. I still like Oliver at 9 there if we stand Pat. Guy makes plays and would be a problem for everyone playing us. Helps the pass rush, plug and play in Kyle's spot. Hard to block, and constantly in the backfield. He's a bit undersized, but that was the knock on Donald.

We had one of the worst offenses in the NFL - and the only players we were losing really were members of that terrible offensive line, and an overpaid TE with a bum knee. We had a ton of cap space... so bring in a bunch of people - breed some competition at WR and along the line. Improve the RB room a bit, add a veteran TE who still has some upside. The goal is to not finish 30th again. I don't think we added pieces to get to like top 5 or anything - but the difference between the offenses ranked10-20 from a yardage perspective is only about 20 yards per game. We were about 50 yards short of the 20th place offense from a simple yards per game stat. From a points standpoint the 20th ranked offense outscored us by about 7 per game, and 10th outscored 20th by about 3. So getting to that 10-20 range is i think where we need to be. More than 350 yards per game, and more than 22 points per game. If we do that - we should be in the playoffs at the end of the year assuming the defense doesn't regress too much.

Graham is a very angry dude. At least Rodak mostly ignores the trolls.

Whats up Maybin?

As good a back-up spot as any. Coach who's good with QBs, he'll have mcvay in his ear every week. I don't like him to latch on with the Rams beyond a year or two, but i could see him getting another shot down the road and hopefully learning from Mcvay.

I'd be furious too - there was a really good chance that 3 of the 4 QBs would be off the board by pick 4. This would've driven the trade-up price up even further than the amount the jets overpaid. We kind of lucked out that the giants went for barkley, and that the broncos liked chubb.

I remember him making some plays - seems like a solid athlete.

Yup - Not sure why looking at that roster gettleman thought they just needed a running back to get them into the playoffs.

Then i wouldn't necessarily be opposed to it. He's still learning nuances of pro football, but he's got guys like lorax and hughes to kind of help along with the pass rushing maneuvers.

They know they need a quarterback. The problem is young QB's do better with good WRs - like Jarvis Landry for Baker.. Hopkins for Watson.. Hill/Watkins/Kelce for Mahomes.. If the plan was - draft a rookie this year, sit him for a year, and 2020 is the year to compete, then i guess it makes sense. They'll now have tate, rookie QB, barkley, some solid o-line pieces, and a good chunk of cap to spend. Their defense isn't great - could use some pass rush, as well as secondary help. But i think i get what they're doing. 2019 isn't going to be great... But that gives them a high 1st in 2020 to address pass rush or improve the offensive line. 2020 is a "compete" year, but its not like a super bowl type of team. ODB wasn't pushing them to a super bowl in 2019 or 2020.

I mean - they invested in him the player. He's been injured a ton the last couple of years and their LBs have been some of the worst in football. They need to move on.

What does Edmunds bring as a pass rusher? Usually the SAM rushes a decent amount, and also has to rotate in at DE during some of the nickel packages.

Well the big problem wasn't the disguising - it was the 2 gap system for guys like kyle and dareus etc. Penetrating d-linemen were instead responsible for just eating up blocks. Mario had to cover a bit as a 3-4 OLB, and just generally didn't like having to rush standing up. I think the defense as a whole was more affected by the 2 gap system though. They also implemented a ton of checks in the defense, so there was a lot of gap switching and coverage switching pre-snaps. This results in second guessing and mistakes.

I'd like to see hock here. Has buffalo ever had a good tight end? Let alone the next like witten or something.
