  1. I'll bow on that one and it was not a typo or spelling correction but deliberate choice by me.

    Any time we get a thread which is going so long with many threads merged onto it the same points are regurgitated so many times I get nausea,

    Well, then, it's not a true TBDism, in the sense that I intended. The others were written thinking they were correct as-is. Sorry I lumped yours in!

  2. The biggest game of the year last year was week 17, when they put the season out of its misery.

     

    I'm still hopeful that Williams will live up to the contract, but he didn't last year. He only played well against bad teams. And yes, the Colts were a bad team. He disappeared in any game against good opponents. His "resurgence" after his hysterectomy, or whoever he had, was against horrible teams.

     

    I expect him to be much better this year.

     

    I am a firm believer that the defense's collective psyche was a mess from knowing they were playing 2013 football with 1992 schemes.

     

    That changes with the new regime, IMO.

     

    Go Bills! And go Mario! (And I hope Byrd stays)

  3. For 1 #1. It's obvious he does not want to be here- my guess he wants to be in Chicago. That's not too steep. Trade both # 1's, and move up to draft Jadeveon Clowney. I rest my case.

    Flame away as only this board can!

    I don't think you'll get flamed for this. I just question what makes it so obvious to you that Byrd doesn't want to be here?

     

    As others have stated, he needs to sign before he is traded.

     

    My gut tells me that he does want to stay in Buffalo, but that he is also smart enough to get as much money as he can. This is the NFL and this is America.

     

    The Bills did the right thing, in my opinion, by not paying an OG an OT salary. That gives me confidence that they will do the right thing - monetarily.

     

    One position doesn't make or break a team.

     

    The Jets had Revis in his prime and won as many rings as the Bills did during those years.

     

    That said, I want Byrd and I think he could be a top 5 guy at his position. He doesn't deserve to be the highest paid, but he deserves better than top 10, IMO.

     

    Enjoy the quality commentary that only this board can provide.

     

    Go Bills!!

  4. Grantland's Bill Barnwell wrote a pretty interesting article today, http://www.grantland...d-make-playoffs

     

    The only thing I can really point to with the Bills is their fumble recovery rate. History tells us that teams will recover about half of the fumbles that hit the ground in their games from year to year, but Buffalo managed to pick up only 30.6 percent of the fumbles in its contests last year, which was the worst rate in football.

     

    This is a piece from the Bill's section (he ranks them at #6th most likely to make the leap). Fumble rate is something that I would have never realized if it wasn't pointed out. I find it hard to believe that he thinks the Jets/Browns are more likely to make the playoffs than the Bills.. but I guess thats my bias showing.

    I don't think it's your bias showing. I think it's the author's stupidity showing.
