We're rooting for Miami, right? Imagine if all these tank moves only got them the #2 pick in the draft.
That’s the hope. I want to laugh hysterically when they either 1) can’t get Tua, or 2) are blackmailed for an extra 1st to get Tua.

Seems like arians doesn’t use TEs I don’t remember much from colts or Arizona’s TEs when he was thereI’m not so sure. He used Heath Miller effectively in Pittsburgh.

I agree and would add the game broadcasters to the mix. Troy Aikman is brutal. He's usually very biased toward one team, comes across a bit whiny and is Captain Obvious at best with his color analysis.
Joe Buck makes it hell. The guy announces games like he’s describing Tiger putt at the open.

Well I wonder if the number of batted balls could have something to do with the lack of sacks? Are they being coached to not necessarily pin their ears back and go straight for the QB, potentially getting beat in the run game or misdirection plays, and instead stay more disciplined at the line of scrimmage and get their hands up knowing they can still be disruptive that way?
Well those guys certainly know football so I would be worried.
I imagine they are, especially against Brady and other veteran QBs who will just get the ball out or throw it away.

Its not flashy. There aren’t a lot of WOW plays. People mistake that for a weakness.
More likely they’re disregarding the splash plays because they aren’t on sports center. Picking of Brady in the end zone is big, White grabbing two picks in a game, etc. This D is making plays and getting turnovers when the opportunities present themselves... There are just fewer opportunities when your not in shootouts and your forcing 3&outs on 1/3 of the drives.

These kids are five games into their rookie seasons. It’s way to early to tell who is going to fizzle out and who’s going to develop. Ford can definitely lose 15 pounds in the off season while improving his strength and technique. The book isn’t written yet... Heck, this same thread might get made later about Mecole or Hakeem Butler, and people will complain saying it should have been included in the Isabella “I told you so” thread.
We should also keep in mind that most of Beane’s O-Line signings were 1-2 year deals. If Ford ends up being a dominant guard that’s a fine use of a 2nd round pick, especially when we’ll need guard depth in 2020-21. Ford will start at guard and be able to flex to RT if there’s an injury. Starting quality guards have always had 2nd round value, and a lot of teams take shots on possible OTs with guard floors in the round.
No need to second guess the pick yet, IMO. There were four holes on the O-line, and they’re all patched. It’ll get sorted out in a more satisfactory manner now that this team can add to talent that’s already on the roster.

1st in 3 and outs. 2nd in passer rating. 2nd in YPA. And I think if you take out the special team and defensive scores for all teams it moves them to 2nd in points allowed at 11ppg.... the list is LONG
there are like 3 posters concerned more about the style in which it’s getting done as opposed to the hard numbers. It’s silly.
And they’re referring to turnovers which tend to fluctuate quite a bit. They also occur more frequently in games where one team has to press aggressively to stay in it (young QBs aside) just like sacks. Plus Brady and Mariota aren’t turnover prone, and Eli just freezes, spikes it, or takes the sack. The turnovers will come when we get young or over confident QBs that try to force a ball into coverages they didn’t recognize. We have plenty of those QBs Post bye.... Rosen, Mayfield, Jackson, Keenam/McCoy/Haskins, Rudolph, and Wentz can definitely attempt hero ball.

Do you think every other team whiffed or just us?
Just us. We’re definitely the only ones. Probably should have taken him in the 1st instead of Oliver.

right. units like the 85 bears/2000 ravens/2013 seahawks are historical/generational... for me an elite unit/player for a given year is top 3-5 in that category.... I would argue the bills easily have top 3 ELITE unit in the year 2019.
Agree. Because of that defense I’d add that if Allen makes a post injury performance jump similar to last year this team is capable of a deep playoff run.

Win the games, good, bad and or Ugly
It was also Wade Phillips vs Billy Boy containing those offenses.

Wow this is a bad take
the defense is top 3 or 5 in every major category and is allowing 11 pts a game. There is NO QUESTION about them being elite up to this point.
I think folks are confusing elite in a season with all time elite. This defense is not the 85 bears, but they’re a top 5 unit. This year they are elite.

Only partly, though. Going into each of those games it was a major concern for those teams before we even played them.
Partly, but to be fair all of those teams have encountered a few excellent D-lines and front 7s. Not just us. They’re bad lines, but have multiple games against top front 7’s and D-lines might make a few look worse than they are. Bengals for instance: Bills, Seahawks, 49ers; Jets got Bills, Pats, and Eagles.
Bengals have a shot to improve once injuries heal and that new offense gets easier.

Diggs is the only player I’d want them to give up a large asset for. He’s a healthy talent upgrade, will help Allen develop, under contract, and would fit into long term plans. One year rentals of aging and injured players often don’t pan out. Diggs would be more like the Dallas move for Cooper.
All that said, this teams talent philosophy appears to be “eliminate weaknesses” over “stack talent”. We’re seeing that play out now. A pro bowler at WR or DE could push us into elite, but it won’t matter if Allen doesn’t improve. Beane and McD are building a roster that doesn’t lose, and will be in the hunt every year with good QB play... it’s a sustainable model assuming Allen keeps improving.

He’s an offensive guy so it wouldn’t surprise me if his name is mentioned but I don’t think he’s done anything to warrant getting hired. I also didn’t think Zac Taylor or Matt LeFleur we’re going to be hired either and look what happened. It’s Snyder so who knows?
Snyder is the definition of a wildcard. If that guy decides he wants Daboll and no one else... brinks truck, begging.... full court press. I hope Daboll considers the dysfunction and perhaps has a chat with Pettine.

they are me first money guys, no thanks.
I honestly don’t want T Williams for a high draft pick. IMO Dawkins hasn’t been great, but he’s average, available, and cheap.... which is better than expensive and injured. I’d be more interested in Williams if Dawkins performed well at RT and was now underperforming at LT.
My comment was slightly facetious. However, it was based on multiple articles that insinuate he’s trying to get the medical staff and policies overhauled in Washington. Obviously, I have no clue if there’s truth to this, but it’s interesting at the least. It’s particularly intriguing because not only does buffalo have one of the better med/training staffs and facilities in the league now, but McD also has a reputation for caring about his players. It’s entirely possible that Williams has just had it with the Skins organization and now doesn’t want to jump on a sinking ship.

Doesn't sound like the Redskins are looking to trade him anytime soon.
Nope. IIRC, the holdout started over issues with the medical staff, and when the Skins didn’t budge shifted to money, etc too.

I disagree. Singletary showed this as well. The runs Gore gets10-15 Gordon gets you 20-30. The Oline is responsible for the rushing yards with Gore. Gore at this point will get the yards that are there, but not much more. In an attempt to compete with KC and NE, I would like to see Buffalo make a move like this. Gordon upgrades the rushing attack and underneath passing attack.
If it’s 2018 Gordon. Every other year he’s averaged less than 4 yards a carry. I agree that he’d improve the passing offense since defenses couldn’t key on run/pass with Gordon or Singletary in the game.

The Bills are in the midst of a playoff run. Is 'plug and play' good enough for a playoff run?
If the trade terms are accurate, and they are probably not, I'd rather play in NE with Gordon on the roster instead of Murphy, Ivory, or even Yeldon.
If Gore or Singletary are out for the season and we need to retool... you’re absolutely correct. It comes down to cost. I’d be happy if they picked him up for a 3rd round pick. Anything more and my inner skeptic will come out to play....
for example...
My concern with Gorden is that as good as he is, he’s playing in Lynn’s system with Rivers as the QB. It’s extremely RB friendly. I’m not certain that he’d be as good in B-Lo.

yeah after patriots week and all that attention im glad we're in the background. Thanksgiving will be the next time i think we're really in the thick of it.
Also - didn't realize that they play in NE on sunday before the thanksgiving game. I'm hoping for a letdown game. Hopefully we can rattle Dak as he's been looking strong to start the year.
I think there will be a bunch of talk and clamor over the Browns game. Dallas is the big show though, and it’ll be really hyped if we beat the Eagles.
As far as the Allen narrative is concerned... If he outplays Mayfield and Jackson in head to head matchups, and we beat Dallas in front of the country he will get recognition. The whole team will.
Sad reality is this team could manage 13-3 and still lose the AFC East.

And they will all be soooooo surprised, Atl.
Talking Heads: "Whoa, where is this Bills team coming from?! I love this team, man...still think they maybe don't make the playoffs...so many good offenses in the league, but if they do get in, LOVE IT...but they lose in the first round."
Us: "umm, yeah, they improved at 9 out of 11 positions on offense in the off season (didn't some of you know that? anyone? Beuller?) and their young QB had some games under his belt ad the Left Tackle recommitted himself to the game...sooo, they actually improved at 11 positions. As far as for the rest of it please let us apologize now for committing the worst sin that you can commit in the NFL in 2019: we are not a good fantasy team. Again, we are sorry, we can't help but miss the days of 'you win with defense in this league' along with a competent offense, as opposed to today's 'the falcons are always going to be contenders with Julio and Ryan' as they sit at 1-4."
The fantasy aspect is likely a big contributing factor towards the lack of coverage. We simply don’t have any must draft players on offense.

Allen definitely looks better when you add the 11 rushing TDs.
