Ethan in Cleveland

Nice post. Well thought

No thanks. The O-line is set. The kid from Georgia was the last missing piece. They have depth across the line. They are a bit less multidimensional as compared to what they have been in the past. They don't have a Swiss army knife guy like Bates that can play anywhere in a pinch. They seem to have solid back-ups across the line and a nice mix of a developmental guys and break the glass incase of emergency vets.

No Too old Too injured Doesn't fit our needs

Michael Thomas is the guy I would take a chance on. If he could ever stay healthy he was a threat. Probably would get for vet minimum. Little risk, possible reward.

Lol...I don't feel like arguing as I'm trying to be positive. Just will list dispassionate stats. Andre never had back to back 1000 yard seasons. He was a great great player. Tough and excellent run after catch. But what Diggs did in his four years here was better than any WR in Bills history. His reception totals per season are the four highest. He had the top two yards in a seson and 4 of the top 12. Andre's top yards in a season were 5th and 6th and those are the only two in the top 12. Of course Andre did it longer. Different era. Rice Brown Irvin and several others of his contemporaries were as good or better. Yada yada yada They are both great and I'm still sad Diggs is gone I'm moving on though Go Bills

I know but it's disingenuous to say they added a 3rd without saying they gave up a fourth. All they really did was move up from spot 133 to spot 95.

On paper they added a few nice pieces. The WR, DT, S, RB, and C probably all make the roster. Two out of 10 picks that will probably start seems a bit underwhelming but there really are only a few starter spots up for grabs. Again this is why so many of usxwanted two WRs. Not sure Coleman is worthy of starting but they literally have no one else to play his role. Will be interesting to see if McD plays the rookie safety or plays it safe with the vets on the team. Would be a real shame if he is the 3rd safety all year battling with Cam Lewis for snaps. Now if the DT and RB get sig reps it will be better. Maybe the late day CB makes it if he proves he can return kicks. I don't understand why they took two more OL. There is no roster spot for either. And who can't win a SuperBowl without an undersized STs linebacker??? I kid I kid.... To be fair they didn't pick up a 3rd moving back 3 spots. They just moved up 40 spots or so. They didn't get an extra pick.

Terry is there solely for comic relief. Jimmy is just collecting a paycheck so he can keep fishing. Howie and Stahan do all the commentary work.

Long overdue. Simms has been unwatchable for years. He really struggles with basic sentence structure. Esiason was fine. New faces may be good. Honestly rarely watch anything but the actual game. But every once in a while I tune in early or the post game show is still on in the background. I am pretty sure I've never heard Matt Ryan speak. If you played just his voice I would not be able to pick him out. I have no idea how he will do. Never a big fan of his. Choked alot in the playoffs even though the SuperBowl loss was more on the defense.

Good move. Not sure he is good enough to give an extension but this buys you more time.

Highlight was the New England playoff game. I was there. An absolute destruction. 2nd coldest game on Buffalo history. I was atvthe Raiders coldest game too! Johnson pick 6 is a top 3 play in franchise history!

I know. And as I said, it can't hurt. I agree even if it is more social rapport and team building as opposed to actual pass and catch it can be a positive. I just wonder at this level does it really make a difference.

Did you see something different? I didn't say he could not be good. The fact he can run all routes will open things up for him. They have to respect the short middle and deep throws inside and out. Davis was either not good or not utilized on short throws. DBs didn't have to play him up tight. They almost never ran slant patterns to Davis. But he did run many corners and posts. Coleman should be able to do most of what Davis did and a few other things.

They play zone because that let's the dbs look at Josh. If they play man and turn away from Josh he runs for huge gains.

If this was meant to make me feel better um it didn't. Watching college level DBs turn and run with him with ease is frightening. He looks so slow on go routes. I don't think that is where he will excel in the NFL. Hopefully his go to route will be the 15-20 yard cross and out. That was a Davis staple and one of his drops last season that ended up as an Allen INT.

What's wrong with a hobby? Mine is woodworking!

Lol...I turned the page in another thread. All positive from here on out.

The thing you need to consider is what is his wins over replacement. Me and others would argue that many other coaches get the same results with Allen as your QB. And a few other coaches get more results. And I dispute your idea he is a great defensive coach. The rankings have been amazing. But we have all seen this team destroy garbage QBs and then not bexable to make stops when it mattered in the playoffs. His defense as choked repeatedly in the biggest moments. All that said, this is my last ant-McDermott post until the season starts. We are stuck with him and I just can't be negative all summer long. Anything less than a SuperBowl appearance this season and I want a new HC. I hope for a SuperBowl appearance, but I would rather miss the playoffs in the hope McDermott is replaced than lose in the first round of the playoffs.

He's had six years and four of them with Allen playing out of his mind. How many more years are you going to give him? If he wins the division next year and loses in division round again you are ok with that?

Honest question? Do people really think this matters? Josh tossing the ball around a HS field for a couple hours one weekend this summer. I mean it can't hurt but seriously how much can it possibly matter. You think in the KC game they said on the sideline remember that out pattern you threw me on the Lockport Lions field in June? Let's do that again!

You give these guys way too much credit. Like Billy Beane said in Money Ball " You don't know" These scouts and GMs are more experienced than us. No doubt. But they are not infallible and who is to know if they are even good at their job. I have to be correct 100% of the time in my job. What is the success rate for these guys? I mean how many first round absolute busts do we have to list to realize GMs just don't know. The list of HOF QBs is far far less than the list of first round busts. Most on here were ok with Coleman. Some wanted another guy. What my guess is the vast majority of us wanted was another WR. Because at the end of the day these guys don't know. And two chances to be correct is far better than one chance.

Yeah and if they didn't fumble on our goal line they would have lost by two scores or more.

I am so sick and tired of the cliched leadership and intangibles non-sense. Where was the leadership from McDermott when he would not take ownership of the 13 second debacle?? Leadership starts from the top and he spouts non-sense like the process and winning mindset. We need to start a count of how many times he says we have a "young team that is still learning" as the losses stack up. Oh you can bet it will be heard often. Did Jimmy Johnson's teams that boat raced us in two SuperBowls have choir boys? No! Do you think Belichick gave one rat's ass about character. He drafted a gang member and eventual murderer. He brought a "malcontent " Moss on his team and went undefeated. Is Kelce a high character guy? No. He just destroys us. We need winners with elite talent not high character guys. McD chased away the second best player on offense because he dared to call out Dorsey as an incompetent OC. Now we have to hope a second year TE that can't block (yes he is willing to but he still can't) can become a star. A small group of us have said the major deficiency on this team has been McDermott for several years now. This draft just shows how much power McDermott has over Beane. As always, the only way we overcome this loser is if Allen plays superhuman football. Truly truly hope Allen outlasts this clown and we get a HC that knows how to win in modern NFL.

What are you talking about? Patriot's had two of the best slot WRs of all time at a time they had arguably the best TE in the history of the NFL. When they did further address the WR spot, they went undefeated.

I'm just stating that when the inevitable counting of offense/defense picks post is made, just becuase Beane drafted 5 offensive players in this draft, does not mean he adequately addressed the offense.
