  1. If you're gonna talk on the way back to the huddle, you should definitely hold onto the ball.
  2. That seemed like an unwise call there. Should have taken the short gain and tried for 3
  3. Tough play for sure, but I think they're going to target him in coverage. Boldin on Whitner is a mismatch.
  4. Two blown plays by Donte.
  5. I guess you weren't here for the "Pay the Damn Man" with Fred Jackson then the subsequent "Cut Jackson" trends.
  6. This hasn't been covered with 34273249829891 other threads. Glad we can finally discuss it.
  7. It's money and it's a lot easier to have support if you sue a league like the NFL over high schools. If I was the NFL, I'd trott all the PED tests and say, 'Well, they knew those were bad, but kept doing it to make more money so why is this different?'
  8. Seems like there is a bit more to the story than her story
  9. If they cut everyone on the team, think of the savings! The Bills need to have a lot free unused money!
  10. You're trying to hogtie the Bills being bad to support your argument which is wrong. You have been given multiple references to you being wrong, but for some reason keep making different arguments and somehow pretending you were right. Donte got less money than the Bills initially offered him to stay. He was already wealthy from his rookie contract.
  11. Don't go to vegas or represent yourself legally.
  12. Again, you're entirely off on your facts. http://www.torontosun.com/2013/01/28/exclusive-buffalo-bills-to-keep-playing-in-toronto-for-5-more-years The Bills are valued at 797 million actually so there is your 100 million in cash. Keep in mind, I also ignored interest.
  13. A new owner would have loan payments. You know that, but decided to purposely misunderstand for some reason.
  14. I presented you with actual facts. I assume 'sense' in this case means 'agree with whatever I say'. I'm sorry, but there is little to back you up that there is some sort of secret pot of gold for the NFL in Buffalo. Here's information from the one team that reports publicly:
  15. Many NFL teams are sold with significant amount of loans. I'm not sure what you think happens. Do you think most teams are bought outright with cash in the NFL? That's crazy. Hell, Jerry Jones financed a good chunk of his new stadium.
  16. He got more money? As I understood it, the Bills had offered him a contract, he tested the market got no interest then came back to the Bills and ended up looking at deal for less money with Cleveland and then got slightly more than that with the 49ers. He is getting a 3 year 11.75 million deal right now. Wasn't the initial Bills offer for about 12 million?
  17. I would look for a 2013 first round swap and a 2nd rounder this year or a 2nd and fourth or better next year. If that is not available then I'd take the best player available. I'm very much against drafting solely on 'need'. I think upgrading from sh*t to merely bad doesn't win you game while upgrading from good to great is a better choice.
  18. I wasn't glad to see him go, but his production did not merit his presence. Let's not forget the market wasn't hot for him and he lucked into San Fran picking him up last moment. He has a big mouth and doesn't back it up on the field. He's a pigeoned holed player. If you ask him to do things that are within his range, he'll be very good. The Bills defense did not and does not currently have the talent level for that. Hopefully, they get there that they can support players like this as it makes you a better overall team when you can have roleplayers on the field more often.
  19. I'm basing it mostly off Forbes. http://www.forbes.co...falo-bills-2/ There are other reports that seem to show years as much as 40.9 million and as low as 11 million. We'll never know for sure, but I'd say Forbes is the most accurate. Just to have it in perspective...Peyton Manning makes roughly 10 million less than the entire Bills organization and the Bills handed out almost 25 million in cash to Mario last year. I apologize for not providing the link previously.
  20. Funny, it's been an issue for most NFL owners. You may also want to see Snyder, Daniel. He financed almost all of the redskins and assumed debt. So now that you're offbase and wrong, has your opinion changed? The bills are reported to make roughly 30 million a year. As previously stated, this isn't exactly a large amount considering their lack of loan payments.
  21. Revis is widely accepted as the best defensive play in football. He's not making much money this year. The new team gets to negotiate his contract. I don't see any compelling reasons a team would decide to give up draft picks this year for Mario when they could have just signed him last year. He didn't have a bad year, but he didn't have a year that suddenly going to make teams give up picks to get a contract they were unwilling to give him last year.
  22. No, but a team or any business needing a solid and stable source of revenue is a fact.
  23. They would never give up that much for Williams. Mario is not being traded. If anyone wanted him that much, they would have signed him last season. Maybe try zombo.com instead to get through the day at work. I watch it several hours a day.
  24. Not really. I'm holding out hope the Bills stay in Buffalo. I think people miss that Ralph owns the Bills outright. The Bills are generally reported to make about 30 million a year. That sounds like a lot, but think about this... The Bills sell for 700 million (likely a low number). That would mean it would take 23.3 years to pay back that loan at 30 million a year (that is without interest). There's not many banks that are going to finance that with the team staying in Buffalo. There's far too much risk that the financials go south and loan payments can't be made.
  25. Did they sell enough merchandise to pay the 7 million to Vanek? You don't know anything about the Sabres financials.
