Big Turk Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 I know technically we are still tied with the Ravens for the last playoff spot, but seriously... We have the Patriots twice and KC in Arrowhead coming up...we have been a bad road team most of the year and we are spiraling out of control having just recorded the worst 3 game stretch in points allowed in Bills history. We have no QB...one throws INT's every chance he gets and the other won't throw the ball. The defense is getting gashed on the ground and through the air and its a major victory when they force a punt from their side of the field these days. The OLine is terrible and can't pass block at all. This team from top to bottom is a disaster right now. We will probably end up 6-10 or maybe 7-9 if we are lucky. Either way, we need to figure out how to get up high enough to draft a QB...then figure out how to plug all the holes we've created for ourselves needlessly.
nedboy7 Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 We have Tyrod. We were 5-4 with him. In the playoff hunt. As we are now. 1
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 I'm going to pretend hopeful ned didn't answer first and agree with you OP. Time to really burn this **** to the ground. Maybe we can sneak into the top 10.
Sweats Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Drat talk in November............again. We are a sad and lonely fanbase.

I mean at this point its worth a try.

"In the hunt" in theory, but in reality what does this team do well? Really nothing. They can't stop the run. They can't cover. They stopped geting turnovers which covered up a lot of things apparently. They sure as hell can't pass block. They can run block at times. They can't stretch the field. What do they do well? Really nothing much right now other than the occassional McCoy run. And we have gutted most of the talented players from the roster and expect backups and people who "try hard" to come in and make a difference and they are getting blasted.

Domdab99 Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 If we trade up for one of these mediocre QBs, the drought might reach 25 years. I don't mind drafting one, just don't trade up to do it.
LABILLBACKER Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 I followed this team for 47 years religiously and I've never seen a worse pass protecting offensive line in my life from Buffalo. Maybe throwing Peterman in there on the road vs the #2 pass rush was foolish.
Utah John Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 The Bills simply don't have enough great players. They have exactly one, McCoy. Possibly Haushka. All their draft picks that should be paying off now, are gone. Watkins plus the guy we didn't draft in order to get Watkins. Dareus. Gilmore (although I never thought he was really that good). Darby. Woods. Hogan. Gillislee. Karlos Williams (not the Bills fault there). Manuel. So many busts or guys who lacked the professionalism to strive to win. So where are we? The O line good players got old this year, and the bad players aren't improving. The WRs strike no fear, so the box gets loaded and the running attack can't get past the first wave. (OK, McCoy got a couple of holes today and showed he still has it.) The D line that was so outstanding a couple of years ago, which was so deep it could roll two complete starter-quality D lines out there, is down to an aging Kyle Williams, a double teamed Jerry Hughes, a wannabe Shaq Lawson, and some guys none of us can name. None of the LBs seems to have the ability to understand what gap they're supposed to fill and to stay there, or to defend against passes over the middle. The DBs were playing above their talent level but apparently the other teams have figured out what our safeties are doing, and they're running routes to expose them. 6-10 or 7-9. Take your pick. The difference is where we draft. The only game we really should win is next week against KC, to hurt their record and improve the position of our extra first round pick. After that, tanks for the memories, 5-2. The good news is we got to November before blowing up. The bad news is we've done that before and never made a step forward the following year.

The juice Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 This team has so many holes it’s unreal. Everywhere but I guess safety? Needs upgraded

I doubt we will be in a position to draft either unless we are giving up a kings ransom, and maybe not even then. I kinda like Mayfield...espeically after his reaction to that snub last game from Kansas...he's got some fire...reminded me of Kelly Edited November 20, 2017 by matter2003
MAJBobby Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 Needs ranked Highest down some will be addressed in UFA QB - obvious DTx 2 (both starters Kyle retires) DE x 2 (need rotation and maybe a starter if they trade Hughes) OG x 2 (need starter and future starter for InCognito) WR x 2 (Need a starter and depth) OT (could need two depending on what happens with Cordy) LBer x 3 (need two starters and depth) CB x 2 (need starter and depth) RB x2 (future starter and depth)
Buffalo Boy Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) We weren’t in the hunt before the season or at any time during the season. How many times can you see the same movie and still be surprised by the ending. Repeat after me: This is not a playoff caliber team. Lose out and get as high as you can in the draft. Anything else is folly coupled with delusion. This season was tanked!!!! Edited November 20, 2017 by Buffalo Boy

I have seen some have Jackson and Mayfield ahead of them but then again not sure if i believe that
