    Just watched the Holy Grail, during which god came from on high and shed his holy light on this troubling situation, conveying that anyone named baker is a sissy boy, and as such Joshua has the almighty’s blessings to put the opponent to the sword, it has been spoken, it shall be so, praise be to god... 

    I had to drink a shot every time “king of the Britons was said, Christ, I didn’t think I would last through the whole flick..,

    Tom Cousineau was indeed the first overall pick in 1979 - and he never played for us - chose to play in Canada instead. While this was an incredibly bad pick in the short term (wasting the 1st overall pick - how is that even possible!). In the longer term - we maintained his NFL rights and when he wanted to leave Canada & finally play in the NFL - we then traded him to the Cleveland Browns for what was the 14th overall pick in the 1st round. That pick turned out to be Jim Kelly - so I guess in the big picture the pick was actually a good one.

    mind ... blown ?

      People overrate GMs and coaches.  There’s like 3 who are real difference makers.  It all starts with the qb and then building the team around him.  We build our teams around Trent and JP.  That was the problem.  They drafted HOFers.

     

    You realize the GMs and coaches are the ones drafting and building around QBs right?

     

    If the QBs consistently suck, there is only one place to look ... 

     

    So its the GMs and coaches after all.  And they have to both be good at the same time, and they have to share the same vision of the team.  We didn't have all three of those conditions present for two decades.  Now we do.

    Backup QB?

    I like Barkley and he's an average QB at best.  Although I may be ripped here, I'd like to see the Bills give Cam Newton a try.  I think a 1 year deal on a reasonable contract would be a smart investment and works for both Cam & the Bills. 

    For the Bills: With Josh being a QB that runs a fair amount, the chance of injury is higher than many.  Cam gives you a QB with similar skills who can run the same offense.  He also provides a veteran presence in the QB room and might take a 10 million dollar 1 year deal.

    For Cam: The big question for him is health.  Taking a back-up job for a year allows him to get healthier and on a 1 year deal provides him the chance to move somewhere as a starter.  

    your logic is sound, but I don't think Cam (or his agent) would accept a backup job anywhere.

    Bills are 3 pieces away from Super Bowl

    Love the team, but frankly, the biggest piece from last year was the schedule. Its a missing piece now.

    I respectfully disagree.

     

    We comfortably won our way into the playoffs on that schedule.  We could have won more games but McDermott played conservatively, knowing we had 10+ wins in the bag.  Example: second Patriots game.  We could have won that game, but NE just wanted the win more.  I even think we would have taken more risks and possibly won earlier games if we had a tougher schedule ahead, example Cleveland game.  We won the games we had to win, which mostly weren't that hard, and the rest we were willing to let ride rather than take a big risk on Allen getting hurt again or making an embarrassing mistake.  The Baltimore game is another example of a game we lost because the other side just seemed to want it more.

     

    My first point being:  we didn't need the creampuff schedule last year to make the playoffs.

     

    My second point now: that creampuff schedule HURT us in the playoffs.  Playing tough teams all year is great training for the playoffs.  Playing easy teams is negative training for the playoffs.  I think we were honestly surprised how hard that first game was, after mostly easy games all year.  

     

    I hope this year's schedule is more challenging, as we need the hard play and we need to have some HUNGER going in to the playoffs.  We need to get used to taking risks to win games because we wont win the playoffs with a conservative game plan.  With all due respect to Marv, we have to take a page from BB and learn to approach each and every game as a "must win", and a tougher schedule will force us to do that.
