First Round Bust

devils advocate with the Bills O based on collection of off-season analysis: 1.Given that Josh had dramatic improvement last season the critics are saying no way he can better.. 2. pundits say more likely levels off, due to defenses sticking more attention to Diggs, better defensive film review, rosters and play esp in division, road crowd noise will have some impact compared to last season empty stadiums ? 3. Our O has emphasis on the pass, so OL not built to run the ball - Morse is more mobile and finese, not physical enough to push and run-block bigger DTs effectively, and our guards and RBs are mediocre. 4. Bills to address the details of too many negative run plays and add more diverse and shorter routes (slants) which could use more support from the TE position which is still a question as far as quality and depth...can the Bills work the middle of the field more than last season ?

great info, sure Erie, Syracuse and Ont stretch the demographic market area (DMA) somewhat, but by way of comparison, living in suburban Wash DC (NoVA) I did a lookup of the local team and found several representatives from areas over 200+ miles away, included is one Quinton Spain ? former Bill cut who made the list for the Wash Football Team, I guess we are not talking all-star level but alive and breathing in some positions...SMH

its not cheating until caught...like driving 65 in a 55 MPH zone...until the long arm of law and the radar gun and blue lights alter ones behavior

born in Buffalo NY; currently ranked 26th in world singles, 55th doubles, $2.1M in career earnings, age 27....bring home some gold

Nelson vs Ertz for the last vet roster spot...if only we had the money to acquire both...sigh...pick one and debate...I would but am burnt-out after months of ertz threads

lookie...there is part duex, trois et quattro on youtube as well...

the overdogs - Josh and Diggs the underdogs - Kummerow and Wildgoose - luv the name and my fav - Harrrison Phillips - great guy, Stanford, wrestler - a personal connection

ah teen-age 1970s memories...game was not sold-out and not on TV..so had to listen to it on the radio and thought this guy would be the next OJ..or more realistically a quality running back featured in the ground Chuck (Knox) gameplans...so wha happened...off-field issues I suspect

Incognito-Spain-Winters..the old guard...been down that bumpy road....I miss Teller..end of story

one thought comes to mind ..not being a team player

i dont think his deal will surpass that of Mahomes..maybe the signing bonus and the guaranteed but not the term or the total amt ...maybe it ends up 2-3-4 overall

so far re-negotiating or re-re-negotiating as is the case with X Howard (says he has out-played contract based on league-leading 10 picks most since 2007) has not been an issue with Bills players (so far)..another nod to the front office and the players (and agents)...

a star is re-born

just wondering, given our tight cap, and all the high picks spent on the DL the past two drafts, come next year, would Jerry consider staying for reduced salary and role for a SB contender...as in a backup, vet presence in the locker room, etc...or is he productive enough to still cash in somewhere else for one last payday....

one of the game balls from the super bowl run and the playoff comeback win over Houston signed by xxxx... anything signed by one of Bills HOF-ers...Smith, Kelly, Thomas, Joe D, etc replica trophy from the AFL championships of the 1960s cuz thats all we got for being top dog sorry to say...needs updating to say the least I went to the last game at the rockpile (21-21 tie against the Lions) but being a kid did not realize I should have taken something with me from the ole gal...sigh

grace under pressure...he's quick with a joke...or a light of your smoke...but there's someplace he'd rather be...

agree - Reid is a hall-of-fame coach based on his offensive play-calling alone...nice to see Daboll mentioned in that company,,,Gruden ?1?!..have to wonder if he was not grossly overpaid would he have been canned already and taking a gap year before deciding which broadcasting gig to polish a chair with his behind in...Joe Brady..one year in the league and already top 5 ? sorry PFF but Sean McVay and Sean Payton have proven over several years as OC, HCs, and having their coords become HCs that they are top offensive minds...and Shanahan gets to prove that as well with a new qb to mold...

as much as I hate to say it, the Chiefs fixed their biggest problem, the O line, esp the tackles with vets...fins had another great draft, pats spent big and drafted a system qb, jets are finally on the right track..most teams planned and drafted well, except for the raiders who had the worst off-season IMHO

it was the best of times...it was the worst of times...the hiring of coach McD and that connection to Beane has been as impressive but all those misses and missteps within the hockey dept now fit the definition of insanity...doing the same and expecting a different result

thanks for the clip, and props to Isiah for getting it done and for the play call which had him in the right spott...most of the time Singletary and Moss do a good job of pass protection as well for smaller guys as well

the cool thing is that there are several game winners to choose from which seems to the the case every season under Josh...pick your fav for drama or excitement...mine is my libido...thanks and I will see myself out...

some would rather have Ertz... and maybe if he is obtained and not able to beat Knox to start we can convert to LB ?

disagree - the weakest position to me is the "other" CB position, I would rather sign a vet corner to the annual 1 year deal, in this case Steve Nelson, for approx 5M than trade for Ertz and pay more

good, he had his moments against us...
