If you had the option to swap him out for Brandon Lafell at roughly the same price point, I think it'd be a positive step for the team. Lafell is better suited for the role we need of a field stretcher - Unfortunately he had hands of stone last season and seems to be seeing no interest.

As I said in the other thread... at $8mil / year, what do you think the Bills were offering before they cut him? He had indicated he'd consider a discount to stay.

Close to signing a deal with Miami for $8mil per year?.... Now you wonder what the Bills were willing to offer when he said he'd consider taking a discount to stay.

get 'er done Doug...... for the right price.... with an incentive laden contract.... (insert typical free agent signing request verbiage here).

Presumed innocence is for the court system, not public opinion.

2016 Bills Season Tickets - Your alibi when you just need a Sunday break from your family. As a bonus, season tickets could come with discounts to Buffalo Wild Wings.

slight change upon further reflection... 2016 - No Promises, No Excuse!

It's pretty clear that he's saying "statement".

I'm pretty sure he said "I'm making a statement sooner or later" or something to that effect... not "I made a mistake".

2016 - No Promises

This may explain the red football helmet with a white F on in that I saw at a bar in Orlando last week. For the life of me I couldn't figure out what team it belonged to. Maybe it's the Florida Fusion that will be based in Orlando.

Given that last year's team was 9-7 and nearly every defensive starter was returning and add a viable QB, Top tier RB, Percy Harvin, Charles Clay etc to the offense.... I don't think the expectation to improve upon the record was too much. Injuries, penalties and the defenses inability to adapt to a new scheme killed us. I fully expect the defense to retool and improve with another offseason to learn/adjust. With any luck, injuries to key personnel won't be duplicated and our offense seemed to gel at the end of the season. Penalty improvement, I wouldn't count on.

Thanks

Coughlin and Rex under the same roof... What could possibly go wrong? One ultra-discipline oriented, the other Rex. Neither knows clock management.

Buffalo uses the money saved by releasing Mario to sign Russell Okung rather than paying top dollar for Cordy Glenn EJ stays in Buffalo and develops as a #2 QB, while Buffalo drafts someone else in the mid rounds.

I remember the Jacksonville Jaguars' punter injuring himself a decade ago with an axe in the locker room while "keep choppin' wood" was the team mantra.

That's a sunk cost at this point and shouldn't factor into your decision. Now you need to consider the opportunity cost associated with attending the game. What else could you be doing on Sunday? Is it more enjoyable and/or more productive? Could you sell your tickets on the secondary market now? If so, is the combination of $200 back in your pocket and what you'd be doing in exchange more enjoyable that attending the Bills-Cowboys game? - I might suggest another option. Take the $200 and go to Aero Drive on Sunday, leave dollarless with the same feeling of shame and depravity... but at least you got to see boobies (not the Dixon kind).

It doesn't matter if he is angry with the defense of scheme, if he is not able to buy into the system, he needs to go.The player's role is to execute the coaches' strategy, not the other way around.

If that is the case, then he is completely replaceable. Some other no skill 275 pounder can wrestle with the tackle. It would be a complete waste of premier NFL talent, to use him in that role. When I watch them, I see your total lack of effort this season. There is no backside pursuit and he obviously takes plays off.

Agreed - I don't know how many times I said, "That would have been 15 yards against Buffalo...."

After the Bills' week 2 loss to the Patriots a friend of mine texted me from Boston - "It's not that I hate the Bills, I just never think of them."

I'm a season ticket holder and will probably continue to next year as well, even though I honestly enjoy the home experience more at this point. I've sold off half of this season's games and drive 4 hours each way to go to games. That said... there's something about this addiction that keeps me coming back and keeps me regretting my emotional attachment on a weekly basis. Call it hope, eternal optimism or whatever... but I've come to far to give up now.

Buffalo stalled and then made the correct decision to challenge. Imagine if another Buffalo team did that too...

I'm not sure that I need 10 cents... 1) The defense is coming together. They've playing better each week and they were the best unit on the field last night for either team. 2) Leodis should not return another punt in this league. 3) Clock management his horrendous 4) Something needs to be done on Offense to get plays in faster - we have to be capable of running a 2 minute offense 5) Sammy Watkins and Charles Clay need to do more than run go routes - especially when we have a QB that is not capable of making those throws consistently. Bottom line - if we can't beat KC next week, we don't deserve to be a playoff team. After losing to the Jags, we'd all have been content to go 2-3 vs. the Phins, Jets and Pats. IF the defense continues to play like it has the last two games, the playoffs are still very much attainable IF the passing game can develop.
