Tinfoil hat indeed. Take this to the PPP with the rest of the loons. Absolute nonsense.

You're not my real dad, you can't tell me what to do

Who disagrees? The offense is Diggs...hopefully this Kincaid/Knox thing works out...and not much else. WRs and RBs are the definition of average paired with a shakey OL.

 

That all seems incorrect to me.

Back in the drought era anything above 7-9 was considered Super Bowl contention. At least we are moving in the right direction.

They absolutely would with a Kyle Allen at QB.

 

So now we use back up QB's?

It’s not a Kincaid/knox thing.  It’s a Kincaid is a big WR that we will hopefully pay as a TE for the next 12+ years thing.  And he’ll work out.

There are 32 teams in the league
If you finish eighth, while winning your division you had a good year

I mean they’re drafting well, but they’re also getting better at bats because they missed the playoffs every year

 

 

If Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes are your QB and you finish eighth you had a disappointing season

This is really the simple reality of drafting. Unless you have the difference maker at the most important position in sports, it’s gonna be a struggle. There are HOFers who’ve never sniffed a ring because they languished on teams without a QB to get them there. 
 

Drafting JA is one thing, but I give Beane more credit for maneuvering from pick 22 to pick 7 in order to get him, especially because he didn’t give up any future first round picks to do so. That took some doing.

If you want to be consistently competitive. But you also need to either draft well or make smart FA moves if you want to be a super bowl contender. The Bills are inching closer to consistently competitive than Super Bowl contender as the FA and draft misses pile up.

So having Josh Allen means that the GM can continue to miss on picks?

 

I think most are afraid of going back to the good old days of never making the playoffs

You can’t hit on all of them.

Its a late round pick swap.  Useless

Hey, they were gonna cut him as they were overloaded. At least they got something for him.

I don't want to just throw my hands up in the air saying "we can't keep them all because we are loaded at the position."  Then why are we constantly spending premium picks and huge FA contracts at the same position?

I think fan bases have collective mentalities. Bills Mafia is constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop. Despite our success since 2019, we behave like a bunch of Browns fans. Pats fans are like the opposite. They keep waiting for a return to normalcy where they win all the time. I live in Cincinnati, and "Who Dey Nation" has an "us against the world" mentality. They picked it up from Joe Burrow. Before that they were just like us.

Sometimes those closest are the last to know...😕

oh trust me, i'm a realist. but i don't think this team is in rebuild mode.

 

i think they should be. i think they should tear some things apart and try to retool to be ready in 2024, 2025 at the latest.

 

draft OL early and often next year. find a gem WR. develop the young players we have now. trade anyone over 32 years old for whatever we can get. can McDermott (should have last year and kept dabol). get Beane some help drafting.

I don’t think I even remotely suggested that drafting well and making smart FA moves aren’t important ingredients for success. What I did suggest is that all the great drafting and FA signings aren’t enough to get you there without the difference maker at QB ( this is when someone invariably mentions Trent Dilfer and a couple other lesser QBs that won SBs). 
 

To sum it up, great QBing gets you thru times of poor drafting and FA signings far better than crap QBing gets you thru times of great drafting and FA signings.

I think it's more worrying about never winning a SB than any specific regional neuroses tbh

 

This is as good a QB as we are ever likely to have
