First Round Bust

a very good question, I dont think the OC gets canned after a win, but the guy was a dead man walking so it was just a matter of time... Its fair to say that coach McD has lost the fanabase as he already had one foot in the grave after the epic 13 seconds fiasco...but the bigger issue is...has he lost the locker-room... as well...come end of season I dont want Diggs saying...him or me.

life lesson..if you cant love someone or something at their worst, you dont deserve them or it at their best... I love my team and always will despite moving away from WNY decades ago...yeah this sucks and they just make it hard sometimes..besides who else ya gonna root for....no matter...it wont be the same

he is good at pounding beers with Josh and his Bills buddies at Sabres games in Josh suite

well hell yeah were chasing Miami and Jaz and Balt is improved and our safeties are older-slower and as far as corners go..the best is seriously hurt - again - a 6th rounder beats out a first rounder and the rest are backups one of which had to start, one is 35 and out of football for over a year...and oh yeah Dean Marlowe is not available

pocket-passer Josh versus X-factor Josh, both have their pros and cons...but face it...a healthy, upright Josh is what we need now and long-term...sure he can get hurt in the pocket, but we got zero chance to win a game, make the playoffs without him, so being careful is OK...provided: some offensive ideas - Gabe Davis says we need to simplify - so run a hurry-up offense for a few series to catch the d off-balance, get Harty and speed more involved - on some jet sweeps or tunnel screens or quck slants to him or anyone for crying out loud, Daboll would run a trick play once a game such as half-back option pass, tackle eligible catches a pass in red zone that sort of thing. Every season is different - The O is going to have to score more points to win games given the missing valuable D players...and the AFC East now has some good defenses esp Jets and Pats who we play twice.

I would think it would be English-speaking country or where it is spoken regularly...pre-season games would act as research... candidates: Ireland, Italy (Rome)... Hawaii, Australia

very good, very funny, makes me wonder if they rely on writers or is this all within the retired qb room or not ? OT: Man does Reese works for me on so many levels starting with looks, personality, humor

this about as much insight as we can expect from an interview, proof is that there is a Bills rep putting the kibosh on the Shorter response as Josh was about to go deep...I also sense a seismic change in Josh, given his jettison of long-time smokeshow party/galpal Brittany W in favor of the more cereral/subdued Hailee and the fasting more pooping lifestyle changes he has made..if anyone has Brittany contact info pls pass along as I got Eagles tix at MSG next week and have an extra.

not a best practice esp of a Hall of Fame coach, interesting to see who his backup (imrprovement ?) turns out to be.. as far as the Bills. go with a vet a qb2 for sure, with Barkley on IR you have another vet in the qb room to help but for active qb3 ? young athletic project that we could hang onto for a few years would likely be good...for the scout teams in practice, saves us a mid-late round pick every-other year, and at some point becomes qb2 ? Note: less than half of the NFL has a qb3 on roster as of today.

make it happen Beane..two major reasons: 1. better backup qb depth for sure - Kyle Allen is too erratic...Barkley is good in the room but poor in the field 2. need to protect and gain that holy grail of third or fourth rounder to draft tne next dwarf linebacker with chronic injury history or an athletic OL that cannot perform the basics of the position.

I like the guy...followed him on Twitter as he was: JakeFrommStateFarm...hot mom always helps the cause... But it was garbage time, 3rd stringers versus 3rd stringers...if you want stir the bottom of the roster and have a younger version of Matt Barkley have at it...

Shell (OT) retirement - removed from active roster

me thinks sound-tackling technique should be the top qualification of any Bills backup qb..second would be qb room chemistry...based on pop culture and movie reviews with Josh Allen

Wall of Fame - Yes Buffalo Sport Hall and likley "AFL" Hall of Fame - Yes NFL Hall - a stretch at best, most voters just don't know - all-time Bills pick leader with 40, punt returner as well, plus 2 AFL rings, just not enuff apparently, there was a push for AFL guys for the hall but that is over, so not likely... highlights: In 1964 Butch was selected in the AFL college draft by the Buffalo Bills and he made an immediate impact on the defensive side of the ball as a cornerback. Early in his rookie season, he ran back his first professional interception 72 yards for a touchdown; that wouldn’t be the last as he would later become the Bills’ all-time leader in interceptions with 40, returning five for touchdowns; he was seemingly always in the right place at the right time. Butch was a valuable member of the two AFL championship Buffalo Bills teams of 1964 and 1965 and was selected to five All-AFL teams. Butch was also an exceptional punt returner, and continues to rank among the Bills all-time leaders. In the 1966 AFL Championship Game, he returned a punt 74 yards for a touchdown and established championship game records for punt returns and punt return yards. Moreover, he played in every game as a member of the Bills during his tenure in Buffalo, starting 101 consecutive games.

as a cancer survivor - early detection and screeening esp for those over age 40, be aware of family medical history esp if there are issues..donate to the caises as our research and medical practices, therapies and medications are gettng better and better

true dat, the Pegulas are not exactly known for their communication and public relations skills anow re they ? The old man learned a lesson when he babbled-on like a child on Christmas morning upon buying Sabres...existnce is to win a cup, will drill another well if I need to... As well there is constant turnover exec postions within the Pegula kingdom, esp at PSE...seems it takes a Pittsburg or Penn State connection to get in the door and longetivity is for family employees only...

my take he was in charge of the new stadium "special" project and all the details meetings, politics, etc which came to succesful conclusion so the contract likely ended July or so...Seems Pegula is doing the same for Bills as he does for Sabres..flattens his org with no management layers at the VP/prez level in which he finds no value and saves exec level big salary...

Once upon a time in land far, far away...in a place that I cannot quite recall today I remember a fair-haired lad named Cole Beasley, whose productiion was anything but measley. In his prime he caught plenty of passes, and the occassional TD...while avoiding controversy and most of all..VD. But as he got older and slower, his contract the team did not renew, now he's binge-watching Fox News, as he has nothing better to do.

was disappointed when I heard we drafted Josh Allen as all the analysis and pre-draft pundits had him as erratic, not proven against top competition, etc Same feeling towards last years 3rd round pick (Bernard) and signing Ed Jordan to the big contract despite mediocre stats In McBeane we trust beotches... I did hit a homer when Stevie (WR) was not franchised cuz I said he would have dropped the tag, which got a reply from his agent on twitter...

Actually I think this Diggs blow-up/issue/whatever is a good thing, as he likely is bitching about the same thing that we all have since the Cincy playoff debacle plus its the star WR who is always open and wants the ball...blah, blah, blah What I don't get is the end-of-season interviews ? why didnt Diggs vent during his end-of-season interview and air his issues back then, cuz based on the off-season moves the roster is improved and the depth is perhaps the best we ever had, all despite the tight cap Or if Diggs did vent again is he still unhappy with McD and or Dorsey meaning no post-season interview and limited or no communication between team and player until mini-camp meetup and boom it got hot again so the Bills had to tapdance about it as best they could esp once the media portrayed Diggs as the no-show bad guy. So yeah call Diggs a headcase, a fifth-rounder who worked to raise his game and became a superstar so his ego and confidence is sky high and he does not accept loosing and all that goes with it willingly so he expects the same of others...as he is a captain as well. McD is a motivated competitor as well, a friend went to high school with him in PA where he won multiple state championships (wrestled with him, went to his wedding etc) calls him the most intense person he ever met...so you can imagine the two of them in a room exchanging their opinions, challenging each other and not backing down..it got hot I bet.

No - Pegula is a conservative - the only thing liberal about him is his quest for money

nah...if he changes his name to Duke Williams and makes a comeback this board would have a volcanic erection

Q. most hits in MLB history...without winning a batting title A. Jeter

the full embrace would be an offensive head coach who would the OC just as McD is on the defensive side...this is the fire burning inside Diggs belly and the source of his frustration... ideally, but not realistically, if i were Pegula Sean Payton or Ben Johnson (Lions OC) would coach the O and McD would coach the D and special teams...whoever is on O or D calls the plays and the timeouts, the GM makes the final call on drafting and free agents...so yeah I throw a couple million more around on the coaches and see if it would work on their egos or not.
