Why Buffalo Hasn't Made the Playoffs in 15 Years

2000 26 Erik Flowers, Defensive end — lasted for like five games, then was cut by 2001. F
2001 21 Nate Clements, Defensive back — was pretty good for a while, got paid outside of Buffalo but made a Pro Bowl when with them B-
2002 4 Mike Williams Offensive tackle — mega bust. F
2003 23 Willis McGahee Running back — had a couple good years and then acted like a dick and got traded. B-
2004 13 Lee Evans, Wide receiver — was really good for a while, crashed and burned later on. B+
2004 22 J. P. Losman, Quarterback — gently caress off F-
2005 - No Pick - because we traded it for Losman F-
2006 8 Donte Whitner, Safety — an okay safety drafted in the top 10, also a dick C-
2006 26 John McCargo, Defensive tackle — he was poo poo and worthless and the Bills traded up for him F-
2007 12 Marshawn Lynch, Running back — he was good for us for a few seasons, despite what the popular narrative says B+
2008 11 Leodis McKelvin, Defensive back — still on the team, lots of utility, competent C+
2009 11 Aaron Maybin, Defensive end/Outside Linebacker — god drat, man F-
2009 28 Eric Wood, Center — a good, but not great, center. Reliable. B

2011 3 Marcell Dareus, Defensive tackle — Good as advertised. A
2012 10 Stephon Gilmore, Cornerback — great player, improving every year. A-
2013 16 EJ Manue,l Quarterback — lost in three countries. F
2014 4 Sammy Watkins, Wide receiver — clearly talented and was productive his rookie year, but hasn't lived up to the insane draft capital spent for him yet. Probably not his fauly. Incomplete

The Jets actually have a pretty good selection of first round picks. I'm a relatively new fan of football so I can't tell you much about the guys who came before but Nick Mangold, D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Darelle Revis, Muhammad Wilkerson, Sheldon Richardson, Calvin Pryor and Leonard Williams have all been strong picks in the last ten years.

In that time they've also gotten Mark Sanchez, Vernon Gholston, Kyle Wilson, Dustin Keller, Dee Milliner and Quinton Coples that have been below average to terrible players. The drafting from '08 to '10 was horrific and basically killed the team for a couple years.

GIVE ME MORE
SUPER BOWL
WINS
Bills first round draft-picks since 1999:
1999 - Antoine Winfield, CB
He owned for us, we didn't resign him, and he owned for the Vikings for like a decade. Not a HOFer, but pretty close.

2000- Erik Flowers, DE
Classic failed tweener, with a chaser of endless injury issues. Was never on the field and never good when he was.

2001 - Nate Clements, CB
The reason we weren't willing shell out big bucks for Winfield's extension, he would also walk. He was a good-to-great corner, but didn't have Winfield's longevity.

2002 - Mike Williams, T
Colossal bust. Started out pretty good, but quickly regressed and ate himself out of a job. Bounced around for a while as a back-up guard. Can't really fault the pick though: he was thought to be a sure thing and was extremely athletic for his size coming out of college.

2003 - Willis McGahee, RB
Spent his rookie year on IR(doubtless to the chagrin of then-head coach Greg Williams, who was on the hot seat at the time). Played well, but left ASAP. Never seemed to like Buffalo. Had success with the Ravens and Broncos and enjoyed uncommon longevity for a back.

2004 - Lee Evans, WR - A good wide receiver, he was traded to the Ravens a few years back and infamously dropped the winning touchdown in the AFC Conference Championship Game. That was the last of him in the NFL.
J.P. Losman, QB - We traded up to draft him. He was a bad football man, and only saw success in the short-lived UFL.

2005 - Traded to the Cowboys for the privilege of drafting J.P. loving Losman

2006 - Donte Whitner, S - Consistently good-to-great SS who is still active for the Browns. Wasn't retained after rookie deal.
John McCargo, DT - Was always hurt and always bad.

2007 - Marshawn Lynch, RB
Had a good rookie year, then fell off and was semi-supplanted by Fred Jackson. Was eventually hocked to the Seahawks for pocket change, and the rest is history.

2008 - Leodis "McLovin" McKelvin, CB
Struggled early in his career, but has managed to become a good #2 corner. Hurt a lot though.

2009 - Aaron Maybin, DE/LB - Another tweener. Whereas Erik Flowers' body couldn't stay together, Maybin was a total idiot. Huge bust taken over Brian Orakpo, who was at least good for a while.
Eric Wood, C - Good but not great center.

2010 - C.J. Spiller, RB - Was/ is good, but never really lived up to his draft status. Usually hurt.

2011 - Marcel Dareus, DT - Bit of a slow start to his career, but there's no doubt now that he's one of the best in the NFL at his position. Top 5, at least, and the competition is stiff.

2012 - Stephon Gilmore, CB - Good corner, but seems to suffer from occasional mental lapses, and has some trouble with true burners.

2013 - E.J. Manuel, QB - Not very good. Looks like his ceiling is career back-up right now. At least we traded down to get our "quarterback" this time?

2014 - Sammy Watkins, WR - Not worth what we gave up to secure him, given the other receivers taken in the first.

Largely mediocre group, and Whitner, Lynch, and Winfield played most of their best football elsewhere.

The only way Slater makes the HoF is if he continues to get voted to pro bowls and all pros based on the only gunner anyone can even think of on winning teams, then spends the next fifteen years getting tongue bathed by sportswriters talking about the heyday of the Belichick Patriots (so every boston writer and a fair chunk of the national ones), and insane tall tales pop up about how good Slater. So basically, exactly like how Ray Guy got in.

As long as we're using Mad Max emoji, the Packers.

2000 14 Bubba Franks TE Miami (great, finished his career with 100% of his passes going for TD!)
2001 10 Jamal Reynolds DE Florida St (terrible)
2002 20 Javon Walker WR Florida St (mediocre, had one decent year with the packers and one ok year with the broncos)
2003 29 Nick Barnett LB Oregon St (great, replaced by AJ Hawk, angels wept)
2004 25 Ahmad Carroll DB Arkansas (started for 2 years, was bad)
2005 24 Aaron Rodgers QB California (:perfect:)
2006 05 AJ Hawk LB Ohio St (:mediocre: but started for 9 years so I can't hate on him too much)
2007 16 Justin Harrell DT Tennessee (bad)
2008 N/A
2009 09 BJ Raji (good tackle, bad de, at least they only did that for one year)
2009 26 Clay Matthews LB USC (:perfect:)
2010 23 Brian Bulaga T Iowa (good, hurt alot)
2011 32 Derek Sherrod T Mississippi St (couple years of injury replacement duty, was bad)
2012 28 Nick Perry DE USC (mediocre, rotational)
2013 26 Datone Jones DE UCLA (mediocre, rotational, seems to be improving?)
2014 21 Ha Ha Clinton-Dix (:mediocre: so far, but A+++ name)
2015 30 Damarious Randall FS (too early to tell, converted to cb, looks OK so far)

Fallen Rib
2015 CB Damarious Randall -- Potential candidate for D-ROTY
2014 S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix -- Already a consistent starter and looks to be a long-term fixture in the defense
2013 DE Datone Jones -- Developmental project that's paying off this season
2012 LB Nick Perry -- Multiple injury issues, never really made an impact
2011 OT Derek Sherrod -- Barely good enough to play, busted and cut from the team
2010 OT Bryan Bulaga -- Solid starter, never really flourished thanks to injuries
2009 DT BJ Raji -- Crucial part of the 2010 Super Bowl run, slumped after that, seems to be recovering this season
2009 LB Clay Matthews -- Perennial Pro Bowler and one of the best linebackers in the league
2008 No first round pick (WR Jordy Nelson was our first pick that draft)
2007 Who the gently caress is Justin Harrell?!
2006 LB AJ Hawk -- 9-year starter who was never anything beyond average, declined badly in his last three seasons
2005 QB Aaron Rodgers.
2004 CB Ahmad Carroll -- Complete bust of a pick who couldn't break his habit of grabbing receivers and drawing flags
2003 LB Nick Barnett -- Consistent yet unexciting multi-year starter
2002 WR Javon Walker -- Had a couple good seasons before leaving the Packers over a contract dispute and having his psyche shattered by Darrent Williams
2001 DE Jamal Reynolds -- An awful pick and an enormous bust
2000 TE Bubba Franks -- Reliable endzone target for Favre for years

16 picks total. Four total busts, two underperforming players, six players who more-or-less met expectations, two overwhelming successes, and two players who are still too young to make a full judgement.

2002    22  Bryan Thomas    	DE  Alabama-Birmingham	(Good career, 11 years w/ team)
2003    4   Dewayne Robertson   DT  Kentucky		(Huge bust, Traded two 1st to move up)
2004    12  Jonathan Vilma  	LB  Miami (Florida)  	(Good career with Jets and Saints)
2006    4   D'Brick Ferguson   	T   Virginia		(Slowing down but awesome career)
	29  Nick Mangold    	C   Ohio State		(Still a beast, potential HoF'er)
2007    14  Darrelle Revis  	CB  Pittsburgh		(Hall of Fame)
2008    6   Vernon Gholston 	DE  Ohio State		(Top 3 draft bust in history)
	30  Dustin Keller   	TE  Purdue		(Meh, couple decent years killed by injury)
2009    5   Mark Sanchez    	QB  USC			(Whiff, bust... will probably have a long career as a backup)
2010    29  Kyle Wilson 	CB  Boise State		(Bust. Couple decent years as nickle)
2011    30  Muhammad Wilkerson  DL  Temple University	(Awesome)
2012    16  Quinton Coples  	DE  North Carolina	(Losing snaps to Lorenzo Mauldin, kinda busty)
2013    9   Dee Milliner    	CB  Alabama		(Who knows since he's never not injured, bust-ish)
	13  Sheldon Richardson  DT  Missouri 		(Awesome)
2014    18  Calvin Pryor    	S   Louisville 		(Turned a corner this year, has played very well in year 2)
2015    6   Leonard Williams    DT  USC			(Awesome so far)

2000 - Keith Bulluck LB Syracuse (I dunno, bit before I cared about the NFL, but was on the team for awhile?)
2001 - N/A

2006 - Vince Young QB Texas (Is Vince, bad???)
2007 - Michael Griffin FS Texas (Still with team, is cool)
2008 - Chris Johnson RB East Carolina (Insanely good, then poo poo, then left, stayed poo poo, joined Arizona, not poo poo?)
2009 - Kenny Britt WR Rutgers (Goodish, left)
2010 - Derrick Morgan DE Georgia Tech (Okay, still with team)
2011 - Jake Locker QB Washington (Currently decomposing)
2012 - Kendall Wright WR Baylor (Pretty cool)

2014 - Taylor Lewan T Michigan (Alright, but also rear end in a top hat)
2015 - Marcus Mariota QB Oregon (Owns, may die, but owns so far)

Judging by that, the Titans are less bad at drafting so much as bad at retaining anyone, which is pretty frustrating.

Keith Bulluck owned a lot

Pacman owns

But Ray Guy was a pioneer and even punters are a more visible position to the average fan than gunners. How many posters here have spoken about their dads talking about how Guy 'revolutionized the game'?

I know this is verging into 'IT'S CALLED HALL OF FAME, NOT HALL OF STATS YOU NERDS' territory, but even if special teams coverage players' contributions could be statistically quantified (and I certainly haven't seen anything I would call legitimate evidence of that), could you honestly say that Matthew Slater was a landmark player in the sport deserving of that kind of recognition? How many of the Patriots wins over the time he's been on the roster were seriously impacted by his play? Half a dozen, if we're being extremely generous?

We've all seen good but unspectacular players get inflated narratives by being adjacent to a winning team for long periods of time, and that Hall of Fame induction is all about narrative, but I don't buy that this case gets any traction at all.

I went back and picked what the Falcons could have drafted starting with Sean Weatherspoon and welp, don't do this to yourselves:

Instead of:
2010: Sean Weatherspon --> Demaryius Thomas
2011: Julio Jones --> Muhammad Wilkerson
2012: ^^^Julio Jones --> Dont'a Hightower

So instead of a good Linebacker whose injury plagued stint in Atlanta would end with his rookie contract and a top 5 Wide Receiver in this league, we could have had...
A good linebacker who isn't injury prone (Doug Martin was also available here), a top 10 receiver in this league, and top 10 interior defensive lineman...

:cry:

Not to mention other depth we'd have had because we wouldn't have traded with Cleveland for Julio.

I'm actually surprised no team has been worse than the Bears, it seems like everyone but the Jags got at least an all-pro at some point this century w/ a 1st rounder, or at least a bunch of pro bowls. Bears had a DT who was great 3 seasons and exploded, then no one until they got a guard who made the pro bowl due to his last name and now plays RT for some reason. That's it. That's their century. 5 pro bowl seasons out of two players - a DT and a RG. wheeeeee

Essentially this shows they have absolutely no ability to evaluate draft talent and just randomly get a good pick or two late in the draft that works out (Briggs, Hester, etc)

2004- Philip Rivers, never played a down for the team
2005- Corey Webster - rough start to career, eventually became pretty good, then injuries ended him
2006- Mathias Kiwanuka - great prospect, constantly asked to play out of position, ultimately was underwhelming but I blame the coaches
2007- Aaron Ross - won two super bowls, but largely disappointing
2008- Kenny Phillips - effective safety, injuries cut him short
2009- Hakeem Nicks - great until his legs died
2010- JPP - One and a half thumbs up
2011-Prince Amukamara - excellent corner
2012- David Wilson - died, misused by coaches
2013- Justin Pugh - good, not great

Mayhew has been better but hasn't lived up to the draft hype he built from picking up Stafford, Suh, and Fairley in his first three years. In fact I was thinking about this earlier today and forgot the names of half the dudes he's picked up in the first round. That's not a good sign is it?

The Jets have been one of the healthiest teams in the league iirc.

The Jets have never had an athlete on their team.



Bills fans: EJ Manuel is the first QB to lose in 3 DIFFERENT countries, so congratulations.

I don't know what's it called, I just know the sound it makes when it takes a J4G's life. :parrot: :parrot: :parrot: :parrot:

I'm actually surprised no team has been worse than the Bears, it seems like everyone but the Jags got at least an all-pro at some point this century w/ a 1st rounder, or at least a bunch of pro bowls. Bears had a DT who was great 3 seasons and exploded, then no one until they got a guard who made the pro bowl due to his last name and now plays RT for some reason. That's it. That's their century. 5 pro bowl seasons out of two players - a DT and a RG. wheeeeee

Essentially this shows they have absolutely no ability to evaluate draft talent and just randomly get a good pick or two late in the draft that works out (Briggs, Hester, etc)

That's because nobody did the Raiders, pre-McKenzie

I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.
JPP signed a one year contract with the Giants. No word on how he held the pen.

The Jets veteran wide receiver, who has preached team chemistry since arriving in New York, admitted on Showtime's "Inside the NFL" that he "got into it" with a teammate on Sunday, when the Jets lost to the Patriots. Marshall was speaking about Cowboys defensive lineman Greg Hardy and was relating to the emotion players have in-game.

"There's a lot of testosterone," Marshall said. "I mean you put so much into the week, you know you get disappointed and you get frustrated in those moments. This Sunday, I got into it with a teammate but we got in the locker room, we talked it out and we love each other."
