Victory Formation

Best part about it is, when McD gets fired and we hire a new HC, he's going to come in and cut the players McD drafted on defense. The cycle never ends, we will always be a farm team for the NFL.

McDermott cannot develop QBs, nor can any coach on the staff.

What do you think? How about another defensive coordinator from somewhere?

Are you sure? We can always fire McDermott and hire a new coach! And then our new coach can trade away Tredavious White and Micah Hyde because they are not his guys!

This is incredibly saddening to me.

Cleveland isn't exactly a team I'd try to emulate and Baker Mayfield was about as pro ready as you can get. Tyrod was good for 3,200 yards and 20 TDS while practically never turning the ball over. Tyrod with this defense and we'd be a lock for the playoffs.

Allen is not ready, yes, I would have sat him down for a couple years. That's just my opinion, you can disagree all you want I really don't care. This was Tyrods team, he ended the drought and McD in my mind screwed him. That's just how I see it. With Tyrod we'd be in the playoffs again this year. Sure he had his faults, but was the alternative better? Was it?

I would have kept Tyrod, plain and simple. Go ahead and flame away but Tyrod was a hustler, Allen could have learned a lot from him. Tyrod was a good human being and a better QB than Allen at this point. Could have sat Allen down for a few years while Tyrod took us to the playoffs. We had the ideal teacher, Tyrod would have gladly taught Allen and with a smile on his face.

Atlanta, Indy and Green Bay should be easy wins.

Well, Philly may have a player Oakland wants which could make the price tag more feasible for Roseman. I'd go nuts if Cooper was in Buffalo, immediately sign him to 5ys 55 million, someone Allen can grow with. Shady goes back home.

I'd call up Howie Roseman, I'd say: You guys want Shady? Well we want Amari Cooper. You work out the compensation with Oakland and we'll give you Shady. 3 way trade, we give up no picks.

I wouldn't go any higher than that.

I'd easily give up a 2nd for Amari Cooper, I don't think a 3rd would get it done. Sign him right away.

I agree, TO and Moss could dominate on command, it was freaky. I don't think Beckham can reach that level, he just isn't as gifted physically.

Play to win, don't play not to lose. Go down swinging, play loose, it will completely catch them off guard. Knock them out.

He's nowhere near as good as TO, although OBJ has had how many 100 reception seasons? I'd absolutely love to have him on this team, I would make it work.

I'm 31, I think many of you here are much older than me. My first Bills game was our 1st Super Bowl, it was like injecting a shot of heroin. Seeing my Dad who was usually angry and pissed off then laughing and singing songs and pretty much seeing my entire family having the time of their lives, it was great man, priceless memories to me. It was a long time ago but it's why I became a Bills fan in the first place, I want the young Bills fans today to get to experience the same euphoria I did as a kid, the 90s was a hell of an introduction to this team for me.

I may be a bit a of a lone-wolf here opinion-wise, but for your sake, I'll check once more.. <rummages around in catch-all drawer in the kitchen> Nope. Don't have a !@#$ to give about what OBJ does on the sidelines.

If the NFL expands, from my perspective it would make sense to expand to countries near you ie Mexico and Canada. Geographically it just makes too much sense, travelwise it would make more sense. People blast Mexico, but there are actually some really nice areas. Crystal blue waters, beaches, beautiful women, extremely cheap cost of living. Even a UDFA making 500k a year would live like a king there. I think it could work.

I'd support a franchise in Mexico for sure, that could be good clean fun and ease tension between us. London though? How would that work?

Losing someone sucks, I wish I had some wise advice but I got nothing, some people handle it better than others.

Count me in too. We may know sooner though if he starts to dominate, but 1st year doesn't count, too many great QBs SUCKED their rookie years, the list is astronomical. I'd actually go as far to say that more good QBs have been bad year 1 than good.

Bills 27 Texans 6 Allen goes off this week. 18/26 252yds passing 3 TD

Generally speaking, you are correct. Tanking for a franchise QB is the exception to the rule, any other position though? Not so much. Good coaches don't need top 5 picks at every position to field good competitive teams.

I don't think we'll know right away, with some QBs you just don't know for 3-4 years.
