SC is still a thing? So you're the one who still watches that crap. You see see any reference to the Bills here? https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=trust+the+process+shirt&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=229199434750&hvpos=1t1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=445979796719696696&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=t&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007370&hvtargid=kwd-306224386526&ref=pd_sl_9bp1debmym_e_p37 As others have stated it's 100% 76ers and Sam Hinkie

Nobody mentions that he beat his old team. Who's to say he wouldn't have won with the Raiders? Dungy was a good coach, something was missing with that team and Gruden brought it. Tampa got really old quick, and didn't have the 1st rd picks to reload. Ego then did him in.

Great pick-up for the Lions, former All-Pro. Should show a bunch of people on here what the value of draft picks is compaired to players.

Green Bay doesn't normally look to FA to add to the roster talent. They were known for not signing FAs and doing their roster upgrades strickly through the draft. The Bills can't rely on cap space to fix this mess. Most good FAs are locked up before they hit the market. A few exceptions can be made to that rule, but most of the time injury history and age play a pivotal role in why they're available. I've never understood front offices that had to have "their guys"? I think the sign of good coaching and personnel people is making the puzzle pieces you have work, adapting your scheme to the strengths of the roster.

Not until McMahon showed up on that BS penalty on a 3rd down sack. Officials bailed GB out big time. That's not the QBs fault.

I didn't write the post to start a movement of panic and to run Allen out of town. I'm just concerned we haven't seen more to cling to, a defining moment as a passer, a spark that we can pull hope from and kick back like Aaron Rodgers and just RELAX. I appreciate people referencing all-time great QBs and some early struggles they had, but were in a different league now. WIth the NFL stealing plays from the college game we're seeing guys compete and be competent year one and two. I just don't see players given three years to make it anymore. If it hits the three-year mark and the jury is still out, the HC and GM are given the boot most likely if a corner hasn't been turned. I just hope we're able to see a marked improvement moving forward.

With the small sample size, we've been exposed to I'm trying to keep a positive perspective on Allen's future development. I just can shake my biggest fear with this kid, I'm seeing too many parallels with Locker. I know the supporting cast isn't great but we're not seeing much in terms of adjustment and reading what the D is going to give him. I support the others that advocate for taking another QB, not in the first round, but one in the 2-4 range if they see something special. I hope ego doesn't get in the way as it has with Peterman. The Redeskins did it with a guy they sold their souls for, Cousins was an insurance policy. WIth the line the way it is why is the OC not focusing on quick slants an out the backfield routes, or is Allen missing them? TEs and RBs seem to be the safety blankets for young QBs, we're not seeing it here. Those are two positions where the Bills actually talent. Who knows... Much of the pre-draft analysis on Locker looks like this below. It's hitting a little close to home. STRENGTHS: Locker is tall enough with a sturdy muscular build and excellent athleticism for the position. Has a rocket arm to make all the throws and fits the ball into tight windows. Shows the ability to scan the field and check down with very good touch. Extremely mobile and can make plays with his feet. Fierce competitor and leader. WEAKNESSES: Does not show the ability to consistently make his progressions and find the open man. Misses on too many throws and his accuracy can be erratic at times. Abandons the pass early and relies too much on his feet. Plays a bit recklessly and has missed a lot of games due to injury.

Everyone is forgetting what Clement did in the Superbowl. 100+ receiving yards, as a rookie. He deserves a shot at 15+ carries. I think he fits the offense of Philadelphia better at this stage, he hits a hole and goes. The OL isn't good enough right now for a dancer. I wouldn't be surprised if no move at RB is made for Philadelphia.

We'll see. Don't be gravedancing just yet. You could say the same for the Patriots for the past 5 years, 5 games in. Who's winning their division genius?

He can thank David Tyree and Mario Manningham for not being run out of NY 10 years ago. He's never passed the eye test of being elite. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

It's what people who make a living gathering NFL info are reporting. My take is this: 1. He's owed a lot of money. 2. How many teams have the money to fit him in this year? 3. He could be a rental 4. He has had a lot of touches in his short career (his primary concern too) 5. Locker room dynamic 6. When is he going to be ready to play? As talented as he is, not very many teams can make it work. If a 3rd can get it done and you've worked out contract details behind scenes, you pull the trigger.

I had to laugh at "strength of the O". I get your point though

I'd disagree, with reading the posts that go back 3+ weeks. Lots of McCoy fluffing here. I want him gone for a bag of balls if need be. He's not going to be here next year, let's move on. It's not ideal for Allen, but if he's the real deal he'll have to adapt. I'd like to see a move for possibly Duke Johnson. My personal bias is shining through, I know.

I think the Eagles are using the Bills as leverage to get Bell. LaCanfora said about an hour ago on the radio, here, that a 3rd would likely get the Bell deal done. He's hearing the locker room Pitt isn't sure if Bell would be welcome back with open arms. That should wake a bunch of Bills fans up that think LM has 2nd-3rd value. Each week that passes the value/realistic ask drops. Howie isn't looking for a rental, he's looking for a 2-3 year option.

Maclin is a true pro. I think we need that here. He can't be asking for too much...* Just read he wants no part of the team. Problem is, having a lot of cap room is great, but, a curse too. Most good/great players don't hit free agency and those that do have an *. The Bills don't have a core group of young talent worth re-upping now. It's bad enough that Buffalo has to overpay to get FA talent to consider playing there.

Sadly most likely an upgrade over their current WRs. That move would fall more in line with the Cowboys though.

You're a breath of fresh air on here. It's nice to know the board has fans that get it and see things outside the confines of western NY. Agree with you 100%

Early reaction from some Eagle fans: Anyone Hear That FOP Guy On WIP This Morning? Does not want Shady here at all said Seth Williams the Ex DA who is in jail now possibly took bribes or was friendly with Shady to drop the case against him with the big nightclub fight in which police were involved. He said he stiffed bartenders and waitresses regularly and hung out with alot of bad people here and name was always brought up alot with police. It was an interesting take.

They won last year because of OL and DL, and subsequently, they're a year older and coming off a deep playoff run and struggling. You're correct, Clement and Smallwood could hold it down with a decent OL.

All you have to do is listen to Jason Kelce's speech to figure out what happened to Howie during Chips run.

No, the odds are better you've not subjected to the second rate local media covering the team. I love the Bills, but I find it painful how out of touch the fan base is, like a 2nd and a 3rd is possible. Pitchforks and torches should have been out on One Bills Drive 10 years ago. The ownership (mostly previous obviously) group has taken full advantage of this fan base. The Bills are the Browns "light", and in some part, we've let the oligarchs get away with feeding us a crappy product.

QB vs RB. It's really that simple.

I don't see the correlation? A transcendent player in his prime with many more years to create havoc vs. a guy with maybe a year left. I wish I lived in the la la land of local Bills fans. You guys need to get out more.

They called to see if they were ready to throw in the towel and be taken advantage of. I don't consider a 5th rd pick worth it, a conditional one at that.

He's on the wrong side of 30, owed a decent amount of money and a known scumbag around the league. No chance of the 3rd or a 4th. Too many of you are emotionally tied into the guy thinking he has value. I'm sorry to say he doesn't. I wish they could get what some of you think they could. It's entertaining how most of you are trading players like you're in Madden.
