I said a 3rd or better. If Allen makes it and this team is good with him as the QB, Shady won't be a part of the picture here. In fact, he is likely to be gone next year. Moving him now, in an already lost season, in exchange for some compensation makes a lot more sense than losing him for nothing at season's end. No? Are you still amazed?

Patrick Peterson available; has now requested a trade
Fadingpain replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Something like that would make a lot of sense. Move an aging asset that is not going to be a part of future Bills success in exchange for one that will. For this reason, I don't expect the Bills to do this. -
If you guys wanna feel REAL old
Fadingpain replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in Off the Wall Archives
So there's kids out in bars tonight legally drinking. And if you saw one of them and asked them if they remember one of the Bills' Super Bowl appearances, they would laugh and say "Dude, I wasn't even born then." Yeah, I'm getting old. -
Predict the first play on offense by Buffalo

Handoff to Shady, minus 1 yard. -
Someone needs to be fired over Mahomes right now.
Fadingpain replied to Klaista2k's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
McBeane will go when Allen does. Probably around 20 games into his career. What annoys me is we are going to have a good draft pick next year and we won't use it to take our next QB. It will be obvious that we should have done that about the time the Allen experiment ends and McBeane are gone. And then we'll start the next cycle, getting rid of all of McDermott's "process" guys, switching defensive schemes blah blah... In the meantime, years are lost, time goes by, and we remain a national irrelevancy... -
First snow game of the year in Denver Sunday...
Fadingpain replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Denver often gets an early, freak snowfall event, sometimes in September. It doesn't last. -
I think it's fairly obvious that the Bills adopted a game plan last week that was totally focused on trying to win the game in the most ugly way possible, while asking Josh Allen to do as little as possible. As opposed to asking Josh Allen to be a full-service QB who must perform as such and which required him to learn, grow, and perform as a passing QB. Those are 2 hugely different approaches to the same game. We went with the "screw Allen, we want to win now" approach, and it worked. I actually disagree with that. This season is for deterring who Allen is, and the sooner we know, the better off we are. Everything should be pushed into his development or lack thereof, and let the score play out as it may. I'm willing to do that for this season and only this season, with Allen at least. The Bills are now in treading water/survivor mode and Allen is not going to do a lot of progressing with this mentality.

IMO, a defensive coordinator for a HC is not the right move in 2018 and beyond. It's backward and yesterday, not tomorrow. Not having a cutting edge offensive minded HC hurts the team, as does our ridiculous reluctance to rely on data to make critical in-game judgment calls in terms of going for it on 4th down, when to punt instead, when to try a FG, when to challenge and what to challenge, when to go for 2 (that should be done almost always) and so on. There is an advantage to be gained right now in the NFL by being ahead of the curve, and yet we throw that advantage in the toilet with a lot of other teams. In 5 or 10 years everyone will be caught up and doing that stuff, so the advantage will be gone. It irks me that we don't make use of it now, while we can.
