He doesn't have the right attitude to be a backup IMO.
Hmm. I always thought he had a pretty good, professional attitude.

Barkley
Fans around here would be calling for Fitz way too soon, and Tyrod is not really backup material IMO.
Why do you think he's not backup material? I put him in the same category at Fitz: Not quite good enough to be a starter, but one of the best backups in the league.

Fitzpatrick. Great teammate. Can make plays and win games. Just inconsistent.

Well, it started with Sam Hinkie and became a battle cry for the 76ers. They even nicknamed their star “the Process.” Now, every team just decided that they would use it and pretend it’s theirs. It is incredibly lame (as is playoff caliber). We need to do better
I think I don't care either way. I don't think we need to do better because it is meaningless.

I was really hoping that this thread was going to be “can we stop saying trust the process?” We literally just stole it from the 76ers. It’s lame and played out. We need to be a little more creative and come up with our own motto for what’s happening at OBD.
Pretty much every sports team uses that phrase. The phrase the Bills used last year was "Playoff Caliber". I'm sure they'll come up with a new phrase this year to throw around.

Allen was pretty shaky as a passer early in the season. Then he got hurt and missed a few games. Then he came back and showed tremendous improvement as the rest of the season unfolded, caping his rookie year with a great final game.
I am not surprised his total numbers are poor. In this case the stats do not tell even a fraction of the story.

Why was this ancient thread brought back from the dead?

The big difference is not having all that dead cap to weigh us down. We went out and spent money, adding depth almost everywhere.

Let's make the playoffs first before we start making Superbowl plans.

Pretty meaningless to speculate, in my opinion. If things go epically terrible this year I could see them getting fired. If things go decently well I could see then here for another 5 years. Just no way to know.

I would consider that a success
As would I. In fact, I think this is a fairly likely scenario. 9 wins is attainable. And I think one of the wild card teams will be a 9 win team in the AFC. Might be the Bills.

How about 9-7 and MAKE the playoffs?

I think this is pretty much the team going into camp. I doubt we sign or trade for anyone else of note.

There were still people saying Benjamin was a borderline 1/2 WR and Zay could improve. A lot of ifs just like now.
They signed two 30 year old WR and have one 1000 season between them. Other teams with much better wr corps drafted multiple receivers to go with their young qb. Cards drafted one last year and butler and Isabella this year.
I say we will be making the WR excuse for Allen again after this season. You disagree I’m guessing. Your camp was wrong last year. We will see about this year.
I fully expected the team to be bad last year, including the WR's. So my "camp" was right.

Reading through this thread, I am curious, if Singletary had every attribute, measurable, and lack of holes if people think he would have lasted until the third round?
He's a running back, one of the most devalued positions in the NFL. So I don't think it is uncommon to get very good running backs in the later rounds.

People who complained about the lack of WR after last year’s draft and before the season were proven correct. We will see if they are right again.
Completely different circumstances, though. Last year was the cap fix. We were deficient at just about every position. This year we paid a number of WR's in FA to come in and bolster the position, but the focus has been on fixing the oline.

.....exactly...hell even the Pats did...............
Darn the pats. They've taken every player worth taking and pulled the wool over the eyes of every GM in the league again. Doubtless every major news outlets will give them an "A+" in their draft evaluation.

Players and coaches do vastly different things. Why would Anderson want to be a coach? Has he expressed interest in such a career move in the past? He probably finds it fun to still be one of the players, a part of the team, actually playing the game. And he's a veteran guy who adds knowledge to the QB room. A 3rd string QB doesn't usually add anything to the game day roster on any team.

No Fun League fan I see. What;s the point of even having former players announce picks if they do it the way Wood did? The NFL wants the draft to be entertaining. Why even televise it if they were going to do it the way you describe?I'd be fine if they didn't have former players announce picks. I'd also be fine if it wasn't televised. All I care about is hearing what the pick is. Actually having analysts talk about each guy is nice too.
The actual games are what's fun to watch for me. It's not fun for me to see random players announce picks. Maybe I'm in the minority. The draft is fun just to see what players you get and how your team is impacted. All the added spectacle is not fun, to me. But again, the added spectacle around the games themselves is fine. I like that.

I get being worried but that's not happening it's a part of who the guy is it's not really realistic to expect him to cut that part of himself out for our paranoia.
I'm willing to bet that guys get injured far more often playing basketball in the off season than experienced riders on horses.

I agree completely. And to be honest, I've been hoping for John Brown for a couple years now. Maybe I'm a little higher on him than some. I think he can be very good.

oh yeah, they say this every year
Hmm. Not that I've noticed. I do think a common thing to say is that the QB's aren't that great this year, but next year they'll be amazing. I seem to hear that every year, with exception to the 2018 class. Everyone knew that was a strong QB class.

Like I said it's too late. I've burned bridges and should leave.
Yeah, there are jerks here, but you seem to have very thin skin. People aren't always going to be nice. You just have to ignore them.
And you know, I'm not always nice either. You might need to ignore me from time to time as well.

I do think the group will be tremendously improved. I'm already cringing thinking about the first few weeks and them meshing, though. It might be rough for awhile. But ultimately I believe we'll see a much better product by the end of the year, something we can put a stamp on as a team strength going into next season (if we resign some of those 1 year prove it players).

So yup, you are right. I own that mistake, I thought he asked about Dhaquille which is “Duke” but it was Jacquan. I misheard it and the literal description was all the same stuff they said about Duke when we first signed him, so seemed to match and didn’t catch the mistake.
Thanks for pointing that out and take no offense of you doing so. Was my mistake.
Still doesn’t change my belief they like him as they have said quite a few good things about him before too.
And yeah, the Beane pressers have been great throughout the draft. I get alerted through Periscope when they go live and watch there. Download Periscope and follow the Buffalo Bills. There are quite a few pressers people miss that got good stuff in it.
Welcome again to the board
Cheers
I think it is pretty normal for regimes to say good things about the guys they sign. I wouldn't read into what they say in pressers about their players, because 99% of the time it is just going to be positive fluff.
My personal opinion is that Duke has a very steep hill to climb if he wants to make the roster. Watching him, he just seems so slow to me. I kind of doubt he does make the roster, but I hope he proves me wrong and dominates.
I've got no skin in the game. If Zay Jones gets cut or traded, I don't care. If Duke becomes the #1, great. I just want to see a really good group of receivers that produce consistently at a high level. Whoever does that will get a virtual high five from me.

Which One - Fitz, Tyrod, or Barkley as Your Your Backup?

He was asked about those issues directly and answered honestly. I don't have an issue with that. His opinion is that race plays a factor, and other people have the opinion that it doesn't. Two halves of the same coin.
