billieve420 Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 For this organization it will come down to finding a Franchise QB. Do that and this team will be setup for success in the future. Fail to find one and we will continue to spin our wheels.

I felt for almost the entirety of the drought that the Bills had no plan, just a succession of duct tapings and bandaids. Whether anyone likes it or not, this team HAS a direction, finally. I happen to like it, since it's all I've really asked for for a LONG time. I'll cut the mentally-deficient newbie some slack. Maybe he doesn't know how to use search. Hopefully the long term plan involves bringing in a franchise QB. Personally, I have no idea where they are going for said QB, but it should make it a fun off season. I wonder if they find out if Luck is healthy and they make a run at him knowing there is MAJOR riff between him and the Colts. Just a thought.

Then use every other pick we have left to get OL/WR/TE/RB
26CornerBlitz Posted December 11, 2017 Author Posted December 11, 2017 QUICK HITS: QB HEALTH UPDATE Tyrod Taylor and Nate Peterman are on the mend, Matt Milano now a starter and a thank you to Mike Tomlin and the Steelers.

Some good D prospects this year will be hard to ignore. I was thinking the WR position looks kinda weak in this draft, so they might have to use FA for that.

Sign John Brown and get it over with. Done. He shouldn't be too expensive, but you never know how these teams set the marketplace for UFA's.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 My targets for FA are DTs Donald and/or latuleleileielileiele

Thats what variables are. It isnt in a vacuum, sunny day, Andrew Luck as the qb. Its Brissett in a snow storm. I didn't. I thought he was a too conservative imbecile who cannot be entrusted with whatever QB savior Beanie is going to draft.

Isn't step 1 of every team in the NFL getting to the playoffs? of course it it. But to expect that wit ha rookie HC is really asking a lot. I was all in hoping for success until I say and remembered the limitations of Taylor. I was this close | | to thinking TT had turned the corner then wham he slammed the door of reality back in my face.

And a playoff appearance to boot. I say a miracle 10-6 cause if the Pats lose, they may be a little flat knowing they won't catch the Steelers with Pittsburgh's remaining schedule.

He's still on his rookie deal with a big pay day coming. NFW he makes it to UFA.

Given the flow of the game, time left in OT and a tie killing their playoff chances that was a no brainer of a decision. He made a bad decision. He got lucky. McDermott is the smartest man in Buffalo from the sound of his presser.? Totally a bad decision. What bothers me is he got lucky and now hell make the same gutless call every game.

McDermott is the smartest man in Buffalo from the sound of his presser.? As I said I disagreed with his decision. But to say its a no brainer is not accurate at all. It seems like the people giving him grief around the decision wont even acknowledge the fact that the decision has to be made considering variables. The average 4th down conversion rate in the NFL is currently 44%. The Bills are one of the worst teams in the league at picking up 4th down conversions, coming in at just below 17%. So I ask you, with your season on the line and a 83% chance youll fail, do you still think its a no brainer?
