It’s terrifying how bad the Bills are at being good. It’s really bad. We give up our first round pick in next year’s draft to get a receiver that’s done absolutely nothing in the first 6 weeks of the season. Also, we took out the starting qb after he has two bad games in a row. I don’t think EJ Manuel is good enough, but the way I’m looking at is the fact that we have now wasted three first round picks in a row. I understand the Doug Whaley is only one draft in, but he’s found a way to screw up next year’s already. Plus the second pick in this year’s draft Cyrus Kouandjio has not even been active in any of the games this year. Let’s face it for us to be trying to turn around this playoff drought of 15 seasons our draft history recently has not been up to par.
Another aspect of the Bills that I find extremely underwhelming is the play calling of recent weeks. I say extremely because let’s face it the whole team has been underwhelming to this point. Our offensive coordinator, Nate Hackett, came over from Syracuse with head coach Doug Marrone last season. Since then, I’ve watched him produce lackluster results with the skill plays on the offensive side that he have. He consistently uses CJ Spiller in poor spots. Also he refuses to make any risky play calls on the first down. Every time it’s just a run up the middle or to the outside which gets little, nothing, or loss of yards. I get why he didn’t throw the ball deep when EJ was our starting quarterback, but now that we have Orton who can throw the ball deep and somewhat accurately. He should be able to make more risky play calls that could give us big play before we absolutely need it. I just don’t think Hackett has what it takes to cut it as an offensive coordinator in the NFL.
The Bills season has been disappointing because they just haven’t made any plays. There have been only a few big plays for them all year, and not really any that have changed the course of the game in a major positive way. A negative, yes oh yes, fumbles and pic six’s that have hurt they chance for victory to a point where they have no chance. The Bills have been out played in their three losses this year, and if the Lions had a competent kicker it would be four losses. The Bills have been just flat out outplayed whether it’s not executing or poor roster construction they have just not been very good.
On the bright side we’ll have a high draft pick next season to draft a franchise quarterback. Oh wait no we don’t because of the fact he had to give that pick to get a wide receiver. I’m pretty sure you need a good quarterback to throw the football to a wide receiver which we don’t have. The Bills are done for the next two season’s no playoffs this year, Kyle Orton being the starter for next two years. The Bills are going nowhere high hopes at beginning of the season are all but gone.
Tebow is not a QB in the NFL he will be a player, but the guy only lined up under ctener a total of 4 plays in his college career. He more than likely will be a WR or TE. If the Bills are to draft a QB it should be Locker from Washington, this guy has skills despite playing on a poor team. He is only a junior though and may stay a UW. Tebow has amazing talent sorrounding him, last year he had Percy Harvin who is a rising star in the NFL, he has running backs in Rainey and Demps to take the pressure off of him also one of the best defenses in college football. Tebow was a product of playing in an outstanding system for college, that normally won’t translate into a good pro career, see Jason White from Oklahoma or take your pick of any QBs from Miami over the last 20 years, they benefit from the talent around them in college when it comes to the pro game, they usually are not what is expected.
