the negativity "Here" can be credited to negative posters. Are you old enough to remember how inept the Pats were before BB & Brady? Yet they managed to change the culture.it was the right time,right people. The Saints,the Bucs...all with SB wins. I wonder how the negative nancy fans felt after their teams turned the corner? Probably not as good as the stick beside,always support your team type of fans.The negativity here can be credited 100% to the ineptitude of the Buffalo Bills the past two decades.

Captain Checkdown made alot of good plays too. Does that qualify him as one of the better Bills' QB's?I happen to be a Whaley fan, but this post is gold !
-
5-6 solid contributors is not so easy in a standard 7 rd draft. 3 is more an acceptable number.And Whaley flirts with that each yearThis is not the mindset of a successful team. You need 5/6 solid contributors per draft. Whether that be on special teams or as injury replacements throughout the year, you need to find guys who can contribute throughout the entire draft. These guys are so much cheaper than FAs and building through the draft protects your cap situation.

I heard TT likes to audible at the line...Speaking of culture change. How do we know this McDermott guy isn't eating ranch with his wings? Like Tyrod is.
I'm all for culture change. But some things best be left alone. This,is serious chit. And should be grounds for dismissal.
These guys need some Blue Cheese pronto. Then witness Tyrod hit those short and intermediate routes.
Down,set....Blue 42,Blue 42,Blue...set,,,Cheese! Score!!

ahh,another bash Whaley thread.How refreshing.people complain when we"win" the offseason,complain when we lose the offseason, just to complain.well look who the GM is, DW is completely clueless
-
Given the amount of players under contract on this roster,Id say its obvious we continue to add to it. Regardless of our cap space,Im pleased with the additions so far.6 signings by the end of day one FA was a bit aside from the normal OBD dust settler signings. We had reasonable targets,and we were able to sign them. And were not done yet...

what makes him stupid? Or a cheater?You cannot change the culture of this team unless Dareus is gone.....he is the biggest cancer to having a TEAM.
Selfish, unreliable, untruthful, and a stupid cheater. All characteristics that are more harmful to a team than any number of sacks can help.
He's young still.Other than his suspension, which led to him being out of shape,how is he unreliable? Or selfish? And he is absolutely not a "cancer" to this team. Although,he better shape up,or he could very well ship out. I'm gonna watch this new staff before I think he's a lost cause in Buffalo
-
only Cam has a cannon for an arm....McDermott's "for now" comment regarding Tyrod makes me think they are in the QB market early and considering the signing of Hyde and Tolbert and the push to bring back Lorax and Kyle because of their intangibles. I'm thinking they go with Watson. He brings those same intangibles as Cam did coming out.
-
Wow,I'm surprised. Watching him it looks like he has decent zip on the ball,when he wants to.Also didn't realize Webb threw that hard. Thanks for the info
-
so,Hyde is poor at times,playmaker at times? Gotcha.Poyer is no more than a backup in this league. He started for the worse team in the NFL. Hyde is versatile but not great at Safety, or Nickel. Average. Hyde is a poor tackling and a liability in coverage at times. He is somewhat of a playmaker at times.
Over the past two seasons,Hyde has 113 Tackles,2 Sacks, and 6 Ints. That's not poor,especially considering he was not a full time starter. Also,being as versatile as he was,he had different assignments on a regular basis. In comparison, Graham had 101 more Tackles,2 Sacks,and 3 Ints as a full time starter. And we won't look at AW's numbers for obvious reasons. Hyde can play
-
I hope we can keep him. Good versatility, young,cheap. I'm thinking they would try him at RT if they can't upgrade some other way,and still use him anywhere else a sudden need came upIf Groy can play RT...that would be a big need.
-
his TEAM had a playoff birth,in a division annually up for grabs. Let's be real, he didn't play Brady twice a yearWell. He had a playoff birth unlike Tyrod
-
he did address QB. I've not seen a "lousy" draft yet. Not stellar,but lousy? Dareus contract would be just fine,if he'd not be lazy n smoking pot. TT contract while seemingly bad,was reworked to suite the team. That's not horrible. And he does seem to land quality guys in FA. I'd agree,he's better than given credit for. Still room for improvement thoMurphy and Brown are the two ultimate Bills' shills. Whaley and his failure to address QB, and his lousy draft history.? LOL Not to mention his terrible contract signings (i.e., Dareus), that always put Team Mediocrity up against the salary cap.
-
just to throw it out there,an article from PFF after week 5 last season ranked AW a whopping 40.1Huh? Did you not watch how the secondary fell apart when Williams was missing from the lineup the last few years? I'm not sure where you'd put him in term of ranking at his position but when healthy he was easily top 10 and there could be an argument for top 5...
While stating that he struggled in coverage and was late to help over the top a couple of times,allowing a 28 yard reception as the primary cover man. And he also missed two tackles. He wasn't that good
-
Say Whaaaatt?? AW a top ten,or even a top 5 safety in this league? I liked him ok,but he was neither a ball hawking safety,nor a solid tackler. How many times have we seem him throw himself into a ball carrier,only to see them keep runnering for yards? For what it's worth,McD said he was let go for strictly football reasons. That's agreement enough to my point. That was crazy to say...top 5 safety smdh lmaoHuh? Did you not watch how the secondary fell apart when Williams was missing from the lineup the last few years? I'm not sure where you'd put him in term of ranking at his position but when healthy he was easily top 10 and there could be an argument for top 5...
-
again...NOT the question! I asked if he was worth it for USI am not pretending anything. There Re many scouting reports that talk about his ball tracking abaility. And that happens when his eyes went into the backfield. It happened at FSU and it jas happened here and been talked about by out own coaches.
But again guess we all just make **** up and really dont know anything about football
Help get them yet another ring so i am sure they are ok with that 4M they gave Hogan
-
thanks for your input,but I was asking the cover1 guy for his thoughts. That said,I have a hard time believing he is a lesser player than AW. I've not been a fan of Aaron's play for the last few years,although I realize he had health issuesHe is a lesser player than Aaron Williams
But is also healthier obviously
He did mention tackling in his assessment,and went on to say we "got a hell of a player on our hands"
-
was that a good price for US to pay for his services? That's the question, not wether or not he was worth that money for the Pats...4M a year hmmm see what WRs are signing for this year that really is a bargin
Goodwin just got 4M a year
-
I'd also like to point out that NOBODY has said that Darby is a lock for being our starter on team come opening day...I watched him LIVE. He gets lost when eyes go in backfield. Which is exactly why he has Ball tracking Problems.
He will struggle in zone concepts because he gets lost when eyes go in backfield.
-
Also,we've seen the Pats overpay for some of our other FA's as well. Was anybody here willing to give Hogan that kind of money? At that price,it didn't fit our needs or scheme. Neither did Gilmore's price.just my opinion of course
-
fair enough. My point tho is,we didn't need his skill set at that price to run a zone scheme.I loooooove seeing this. hahah the best team, a coaching staff in the NFL believes he does. I'll go with their perspective over anyone's on this board.
we will miss Gilmore.
-
Hyde is versatile. Tackling may need improving, but AW certainly wasn't a tackling machine either.And I said nothing about Darby,just that we can replace Gilmore in the draft
-
do you think he upgrades the position compared to Aaron Williams, whose health is in question?I scoured through several games from 2015 and 2016 to see what kind of player Micah Hyde is. We got a hell of a player on our hands. Take his athletic ability, instincts, play speed, tackling and much more with the Bills new defense and the sky is the limit. He can match up with TEs, Big WRs and RBs..great chess piece..

Hyde might just be an upgrade over AW. Gilmore is not a top 5 CB. While he was good,he didn't deserve 14mil a year.We have the draft to replace him,and if we get one that can actually tackle,it'll be yet another upgrade...imo. We don't necessarily need another "lock down" corner to play in a new zone scheme. It'll be rough to start a rookie,but we'll be ok,I think
Culture change has begun
