I always like the hypothetical KC - Buff trade Mahones for J. Allen and White (I guess you have to throw Cordy Glenn in to make it more accurate as to what actually went down). After yesterday's game I think that is the first time KC would actually consider making the trade!

RIP for Harvey, but I think he stands alone - 2 - 23 - 1.

Didn't he refer to the team's "work ethnic" or am I thinking of someone else?

It can't be "best". It has to be "most historic" or "most significant". Briscoe played some QB for the Broncos before coming over to the Bills. Harris I believe was first starting black QB. Williams won a Super Bowl, etc.

Oh, oh, I know the answer to this one. Mahomes, Wilson and Gronkowski. If not Gronkowski, then Jimmy Graham or any of the other 3 or 4 tight ends in the greatest TE draft in the history of the league.

Not counting it as a sack cost me a fantasy football win. Still waiting to reverse the decision.

No. He's 42 and starting to look every bit of that. He's mediocre at this point in a system that is designed for him. Picks, dinks, dunks. When he's pressured, he throws the ball into the ground. Can you imagine what he'd look like in the Bills' offensive scheme? Remember Peyton Manning? He looked pretty good until he didn't. Win, lose or don't make the Super Bowl, I'd be surprised if Brady is back with NE next year and surprised if he doesn't retire.

Bills needed the win to make the playoffs. Tie gives 49'ers two game edge in loss column. Totally different circumstances. If Bills were in same position as 49ers and McDermott was as aggressive as Shanahan, posters would have rightly given McDermott grief. In that situation, you drain the clock to give yourself some chance of a win while giving your opponent next to no chance for the win.

NFL simply doesn't believe in analytics. A tie keeps you up two games on your nearest rival. Analytics would have dictated at least one or two runs at that point in OT. You still have a chance to pull out a win but you ensure that Seattle doesn't have enough time left to do the same.

Yeah, this. It's a meaningless stat unless you compare to league averages. I'm guessing there are QB's who haven't thrown a pass that's travelled 30 yards in the air over the last two years. Maybe it also means that we shouldn't be trying to throw passes that travel 30 yards in the air. Also, does this include Hail Marys? What is the league average on completing Hail Marys?

Well, the Bills' season is on the line next week in Miami. We'll see how that goes.

Gilmore was an excellent corner while he was here but in his free agency year, I have never, ever seen an NFL player avoid contact like Gilmore avoided contact. It was a joke. After that, I didn't care whether he came back or not. Still don't.

If you can make that deal for Trent Williams, maybe. For Gordon? No.

Can the regular season start? Please? Please?

Same reaction as everyone else. Pretty excited to see first game. Set to watch on DirecTV 212-1. Blacked out. Found Reddit stream. Worked very well. Lost picture for about 10 minutes but other than that, worked just fine.

Man, Keith Lincoln, Nick Buoniconti, it's sad to see these AFL guys going. It's like WWII vets. In a few years, there won't be many left.

Now that the book is closed on Gronk, can we finally get a call on whether we did the right thing picking Troup ahead of Gronk?

A mock I saw today had Bills trading down with Miami (to #13) so Miami could pick a QB. Would you trade down with a division rival? If you thought that the division rival was going to reach and pick a QB who isn't worth the #9 spot, I guess the answer is yes. FYI, they had us picking Rashan Gary followed by the Falcons picking Oliver. If we pick up a second, I could live with #13.

Not that it would have changed the team's destiny (not in a QB dominated league and we didn't have one then or for years after) but I always have wondered what would have happened to the team's fortunes if we had picked Ngata instead of Whitner. The horrendousness of the Whitner pick manifested itself immediately because - in need of a big defensive tackle (hence why everyone but everyone assumed the first pick would be Ngata) - we moved back into the first round to pick (wait for it) John McCargo!! Can you imagine if we had picked Ngata and then have been smart enough to move back into the first round to pick Nick Mangold? Would have had rock solid foundations in the middle of the O-Line and the D-Line for the next decade. Twas not to be, cheri.

I don't post in SabreSpace, so I have to take this opportunity to say, "Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the WORST general manager in the history of Buffalo professional sports (including the Braves and the guy who decided to draft John Hummer instead of Calvin Murphy)!!

Well, this (and Brown) clarifies things for the draft. No Metcalf. No Isabella later on. If we sign Williams, no OL at #9. Can get Oliver (now that we're going on 20 years, do you realize that Brady doesn't like pressure up the middle?), Hockerson or White.

Yeah, Juwaan Taylor. Seriously, if not Williams, there goes any flexibility we have going into the draft. #9 has to be OL.

Humphries would have been a terrific pick-up. Oh well, I guess that leaves the door wide open for Isabella.

Looking back, I wish we had DRAFTED Mack.

Humphries should be the target but if we sign him we won't draft the little guy from BC.
