Do you see Bob Costa's in this room right now?

Wow what bravery making a prediction that the Buffalo Bills won't make the playoffs... That's like claiming the Browns finishing in last place the previous 10 years as a 'hot take'. Bills are on the upswing, so that 'easy-money' prediction from years past will be going away shortly.. hopefully this year.

2008 when Donte Whitner guaranteed we'd make the playoffs. I was 100% on board. We started 5-1 > Trent Edwards Injury > Finished 7-9

So in a year where the roster talent is significantly depleted we see an increase in penalties. Shocking.

It will be a great for last year's draft to be the most memorable Bills draft over the next 20 years.

Agreed, a lot falls on Trubisky at this point. But don't forget, there's not much money or 1st round draft picks that they will be able to add who can help him out anymore. They basically set out to sail, and won't be able to course correct for years. Risky move to make without an established quarterback IMO. To your original point, you're right that we need to know what actual cost to get Clowny would be to make it worth it obviously. I'm assuming he would be coming in at an inflated premium. ....Good thing we traded up for Sammy Watkins and when we could have taken Mack ☹️

This was the one I was actually thinking too. But I don't think the Bills are currently in the same 'state' as the Patriots were when they signed Gilmore. Bears bounced in round 1, but time will tell I suppose for this one.

I disagree that, "that's what wins in the NFL" Name the last super bowl winning team that can justify a FA splash signing was what possibly got them over the hump.

This is the logic that was employed for so many years and failed in Buffalo... why would you want to go back to this model?? You put so much pressure on whatever new player to not only match his previous play (from a totally different system).. AND to also stay healthy!

Clowney on a rookie deal - YES Clowney on his next contract - No As good as he is, I just don't see deals like this fitting the mold of a perennial winning organization.

Somewhat agree.. but late 2nd round/early 3rd at the earliest. I'm not using a 1st round pick on a back-up qb.

I'll definitely give you corner back. I left DE because I always felt like you need a bunch of good (tier 1b/tier 2) pass rushers to keep fresh, and could get by with that strategy.

This should be the last time we draft in the top-10 for a while. The 3 most cornerstone positions to an NFL roster are QB, LT, and MLB. We've got two of the three.

My gf at the time (was a Pats fan) legit lost her ***** after the game. We were all watching the game at my parents house, my aunt/uncle also in town so big day for our Bills family... After the game she stormed out of the house and we couldn't find her. The two of us had a silent 3hour drive home following the game. It was F@#$ing awesome!

Henry's run should win.

I voted just Poyer mainly because I think we'd have to overpay to extend Hughes.

100% agree, you put yourself at risk if during a turnover you just blindly pursue the ball. Pretty soon they're gonna ban hitting a guy if he makes himself airborne.

Seriously. Did they want Darnold, or were they pissed that NY established the draft trade market so expensive?

I don't claim to be an expert assessing the college talent.. But I would think this would never happen unless Bean thinks there is a monstrous delta between White and next best players on the draft board... He may be best available, but is he rank of 9.8, while there's a 9.7 in a position that better fills a need? Blindly taking best available player ends IMO before pick-9 most of the time.

Agreed with the chance of implosion. I can see this team getting off to a hot start, but as soon as the going gets tough, I'd look for the fingers to start pointing and blame being placed all over the locker room. It will depend on what type of leadership they're able to identify with.

you're right, I'm sorry

The fact that you think you know what facts are tells you everything you need to know.

Yea I'd rather see them fund a wall.

Yeah poor guy.. all these pesky laws of society!

I agree 100%. That's why I'd be surprised if Gore ends up filling that role in 2019. The thing is, you never know how the draft is going to shake out, and maybe our GM/coach see some late draft steals that aren't at the rb position. Bottom line, if it comes down to it, I think it's a good problem to have if we're debating strategy over a 3rd string player. Unfortunately we need to be more concerned with getting a starting rb for the season imo.
