Bill from NYC

Well, McDermott passed on 2 promising QBs (to include Deshaun Watson), traded back and took a corner. True, he did get some future picks but my point remains clear.

Why are you talking in absolutes? There is one particular poster who constantly complains about Bills Fans. I don't agree with him but this is not ALL he posts. Many of his "other" posts are (imo) intelligent and well thought. As for the fan attacks, that's up to him, no? I will take him to task once in a while but he is certainly free to post things that I don't necessarily like, isn't he? I think the Bills will not play well this season because the OL appears to really suck. One qb is a rookie, the other might be the worst in history. Perhaps even worse than Van Pelt. The basis I use for this opinion is that I have been down this road for decades. I have seen what the Bills historically do and do not concentrate much on. On the other hand, I overwhelmingly support the Josh Allen selection. Does the above meet standards?

Just a quick reminder.....the fact that you consider a post to be "mindless drivel" doesn't make it true. Your opinions are just that. they are not all knowing proclamations. Maybe you should ask yourself if you are a fan hater.

You should issue us posting guidelines and a link to your cell phone. This way we can run our posts by you to make sure they are OK before we click on "submit reply." After all, you deserve to be an authority figure on TSW.

If you think minimum 8, you are all but calling them a playoff team. This with no blocking and either a rookie, or a historically bad qb. As my man Bill Lumberg said, "I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree."

That was a really stupid thing for Bo to do and I think that it hurt his draft position. If you look at the video, the players all seemed to have a great time at the White House this year. His idiocy did not represent the team. Because this is a passing league, the defenses are slowly getting smaller and faster. Imo, this increases the value of a big back. Remember how well Karlos performed on the Bills? I want the Bills to get better blocking and a large tailback more than I want Bo specifically.

An optimistic 5-11. 3-13 wouldn't surprise me even a little. Sorry.

I think that Bo Scarborough would be an interesting RB but not for the Bills. He is fast but he gets off the line a little slow. The Bills don't have enough blocking for him to succeed. They might as well sign a few more corners and employ the "process" of Jauron Ball.

It wouldn't surprise me. Once again, the tools he has to work with are insane and should even improve. One of the announcers said that Davonta Smith (of the OT TD catch in the title game) only caught 8 passes last season and had that many catches last night. When teams go all in on pass defense Saban will run it down their throats. The defense does still have question marks imo.

Did you see that freshman Waddle? I was watching him when he was lined up to return a punt. He jumped up to stretch from a standstill and it looked like his knees were over his head. Seriously. An announcer said he is the fastest player on the team and it looks as if he has moves and hands. The Tide has 4 wideouts that I know of that are off the charts great and I'm not exaggerating. There might even be more; who knows at this point? Btw, I wouldn't be even a little surprised if Jerry Jeudy turns out to be better than Calvin Ridley.

I am thrilled by the job that Virgil is doing, and; if he needs a week off I will help him out.

I think a few of those teams had a great qb, good defense and good blocking. And, I don't think that many of those dbs were top 10 picks.

You see, I for one have always enjoyed this great site more in the offseason than I do during the regular season. In the off months, anything is possible here in our little cyber corner where we share our hopes and comradery. Having said that, this year was especially good and my thanks are in order so here we go: 1) Thank you SDS and the mods. For decades you have provided a forum for a bunch of top notch (however depressed :)) Bills Fans. Scott, you had a great vision which has meant so much to so many. Mods, you do the work and should be quite proud. Take a well deserved bow. 2) Thanks for those who indulge me in dialogue. I know that I can be opinionated and a bit stubborn, thanks for tolerating this. A special thanks to those who disagree with me and engage me in constructive dialogue. 3) Thank you to the posters who are a fountain of information and point out things that I miss. How cool is it to be able to click on a web site and have access to intricate details about players, formations, coaching strategies, etc. BADOLBILZ (and others), I tip my hat to you. 4) Thanks to all of you draftniks. This is a part of this board that is just so vital imo. I get more and better info here than I do on major media sites. Nice work!!! 5) Thank you to the many outstanding posters who I no longer see around. Lori, Simon, AKC, Petrino, Bob Lamb. Cablelady and so many others helped set the tone for us to have what we have here. My deepest regards. 6) Thanks to posters like Albany89 and others who stop back in from time to time. Your presence matters. 7) Finally, thanks to the person(s) who lobbied for a college football board. It is a good one and is getting better. I hope to see more people visit and talk about their team. God bless you all and GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good point. Imho, early first round draft picks should be used on QBs, Pass rushing DEs and LTs. I think this because they are just so hard to get any other way. If the Bills pick early next season (10 or below) they would (imo) be well served to draft a pass rusher or a top LT. If none are there I would be tempted to trade the pick to a team that needs a qb and go after other positions, this; only because we already have a qb.

Mallett was an absolute failure but he is 100x better than Peterman will ever be, or so I think. He could throw a better out pattern with his left hand than Peterman could with a running start. As for Allen, he is a lot more athletic than Mallett and also has a cannon.

Well, I saw your location and sensed that it might explain some hostility. If AJ is as bad as you think he is, you should want him to start. Allen will get destroyed behind our OL and Peterman must prove that he isn't the worst QB in the history of the NFL. That said, I am 100% pleased that they drafted Allen. 100%.

Sure FIC, Tre is "good." Absolutely. They also passed on quarterbacks to take him. I have always said that building a team properly is more important than just getting someone "good." Picks like Spiller, Whittner, McKelvin, etc. destroyed this team and we could go back even more than this.

I must hand it to most UGA Fans.....they did take the loss pretty well.

Well, a part time, undersized scat back could also be worth a top 10 pick.

Thank you my friend. It is SOOOO refreshing to see that many others now recognize this after all these years! It used to be just a few of us.

You absolutely are dripping with jealousy. Why worry, maybe Penn State will win the title this year, right?

Ok, true enough but I didn't bring it up this time. I was kicking and screaming and it was dragged out of me.

Give Peterman a chance!!!

Surprised? Seriously? A db in round 1 wouldn't surprise me even if we have a top 5 pick. And some would defend it too. We will lose games if we do this but some can and will make the case that the db is "good."

I read a recent article that said Alex Leatherwood is on the top of the depth chart at Right Guard. remember how great he looked against UGA when he played the second half at LT? He is a road grader and what he can do at Guard is just plain scary! RTR!!!!!!!
