Teller (and the whole ol) were fantastic today. It’s a blessing if he turns into a player. It is one less need moving forward.

Has this post been in your outbox since before the trade deadline?

If you think that the last 5 months have completely transformed him, we don’t agree. I don’t even believe that the Bills conditioning program is better than. Alabama’s.

Hot take

Our OL took a massive step forward today. They started a 5th round pick 6 months out of college.

Again, that is the Westgate Las Vegas line!! I don’t know why you are mad at me. I still don’t think that the Bills cover 28.5. If you noticed though, I predicted the Bills to win today by multiple scores. Right again!!

Throw the ball down the field and look what happens!!

Anyone else think that speed is important?!?

I think that the Bills win today. I have a feeling that they play a good game. No reason why I think that but I do.

McDermott - HC Bill Walsh - OC Belichick - DC Brandon Beane - GM Bill Polish - Assistant GM PROCESS!!!!

I thought when you suggested “a long fruitful career” you were suggesting that McDermott hire him as a lunch lady.

It is totally different. Josh Allen was universally viewed as a top 10 pick. He was considered raw. He will get every chance to show that he isn’t good enough. He may be good, he may not. Peterman was picked after 190 other guys. He was an extreme long shot that has already gotten WAY more opportunities than a guy of his pedigree and performance warrant. Jeff Tuel only got one chance and performed way better. Peterman is much closer as a prospect to Tuel than to Allen.

What did you want them to do hold them to negative points? This is the bizarro world. The folks at TBD have a better pulse on the point spread than the guy who does it for Westgate Las Vegas?!? I’m not even sure why people are offended by this? The reality is the Bills offense isn’t moving the ball on bad defenses (Colts, Packers). Why is it reasonable to think that they score 10 points a quarter against a team littered with future pros? The Bills wouldn’t always beat the best college teams by 28.5 (or 20 as I think). THIS particular Bills team and THIS particular Alabama team are what we are discussing. This isn’t a conversation about “generic bad NFL team” vs. “generic good college team.” This is a very, very specific circumstance. FWIW, I think that last year’s Bills team beats last year’s Alabama team by 50. Our offense was better and their’s was worse (especially playing Hurts).

No offense, but that’s absurd. That doesn’t strengthen your argument. Their blockers are the same size as the guys we have. They start 301, 350, 303, 314 and 314. We start 317, 325, 310, 303, and 316. The best OL of all of those 10 is Jonah Williams at 301. He he has gotten worse!! He was better 4 months out of college than he is right now. He caught a bunch of TDs one year but that’s all that he did in college. His rookie year in the NFL was similar to his last year at FSU. I dont believe that they would run over Alabama. This interior of the Bills OL isn’t manhandling 1st round DLs. Honestly there are 2 guys on Alabama’s OL that would start on our OL tomorrow (Williams and Pierschbacher). They score some points. I have them scoring 30!! That’s a lot for this talent. This Bills offense is horrendous.

They just shut out ranked teams in back to back weeks. I don’t know what people are seeing that leads them to believe that the Bills will march up and down the field? The Bills have 3 guys on offense that will be starting in the NFL next year (Dawkins, McCoy and Allen). There are at least that many on the Alabama defense (Williams, Thompson, Davis). The Bills defense would give Alabama fits. I don’t think it’s absurd to think that they score once on offense and convert a turnover into a FG. That means the Bills need to produce 39 points to cover. That doesn’t seem likely to me. Again, I didn’t make this spread!! This is a professional oddsmaker. We also put up 3 against Baltimore, zero against GB, 5 against the Colts, 6 against the Pats, and 9 against the Bears. I’m not sure pointing to the 1 effective half of football that the offense has played is an accurate depiction. That is the outlier not the norm. We average 10.7 points per game!! The next lowest team in the league is at 13.8. The 30th ranked team is at 16.8. The gap from the Bills to 30th is greater than the gap from 30th to 13th!! So the interior of our OL would push around 2 guys that will be 1st round picks? Two guys that will be starting in the NFL in 10 months are going to get dominated by Bodine, Vlad and Miller? The Bills defense would give Alabama hell. The Bills offense would have their best performance of the year but they aren’t dominating.

Bills 30- Alabama 10 has been my prediction. I don’t think it’s crazy at all. Vegas says 28.5. I think it’s closer to 20.

I’m not apologizing for holding my team to a higher standard than this BS we have seen on offense. I’ve ALWAYS been a realist when it comes to the Bills. I give credit when credit is due and criticism when criticism is warranted. Questioning my fandom is beyond laughable.

It depends to me on where we end up picking. I’d probably go defense in the top 3 to 5. Those players are a tier above IMO. If they pick later than that there are some offensive options (including Williams) that would be good picks. I think that that some of these guys may be better than Woods too. The point that I was trying to make is that I think there are a bunch of guys that can be 60 catch, 800 yard and 7 TD types. You COULD conceivably end up with 2 guys like that. He is so explosive. Brown could possibly break 4.3. He’d add some much needed speed and big play ability to pair with Allen. I think that Allen is never going to be a guy that dinks and dunks down the field. His ball placement isnt like a Brees. What Allen can do is zing the ball down the field. The Bills will score with explosive plays. Brown is the type of guy that can do that.

It doesn’t look as good as 2020 which is loaded but it is better than last year. I’m not sure that there are a ton of future number 1 receivers in this draft but there will be some. It also feels like a good group on day 2. There are a bunch of guys that could be like “Robert Woods quality.” If the Bills did something like signed Tyrell Williams, drafted Kelvin Harmon and Parris Campbell they would be a mile ahead of where they are now. I’m not sure that they’d have a Hopkins or Brown that dominates but they, along with Zay, would be a balanced WR room.

I think that the bolded is the most important part. We have a MASSIVE need and hopefully they can raise the talent level. It shouldn’t be tough to do.

I’m not against that. My point is that if it is big like Benjamin OR a route runner like Doug Baldwin I’d rather Baldwin. Antonio Brown is the ultimate prototype. He runs the whole route tree, gains separation, takes it to the house. Big plays are so important in today’s NFL.

Better than Peterman but not ideal

The defense finally played a good game I thought. I actually thought they were going to lose today so I’m quite pleased with the final score.

I know people are hung up on these big bodied “open when they aren’t” guys. Not me, give me separation and explosion. Samuel is a decent size and runs throw tackles. He can also go the distance. I’d love to add both of those guys.

Tide are on now. It’s an interesting test for their offense. Mississippi State MAY have the best front 7 in the country. They have 2 guys that will go in the first this year and the defense has allowed the fewest TDs in the nation. Let’s see how they hold up against the ‘Bama juggernaut.
