  1. Like all other American companies the NFL is looking to outsource its product , once again putting Americans out out of work not to mention leaving season ticket holders paying for a home game they don't get to go see at their home stadium . Plus two teams home stadium employees each year get less pay for that year , how does that help the US ? Not to mention the amount of tourism it could quite possibly bring here , I just don't get it !! Figure this out from the below article . 10 yrs x 2 games per yr is 20 home games on US soil that are lost , what kind of revenue are the US based stadiums losing over that period of time ?? Then take away the tourism part which may not be huge but it is still part of the equation . Plus how ever many season ticket holders getting hosed !! http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000500560/article/nfl-tottenham-hotspur-ink-10year-stadium-partnership If playing NFL games in different countries is so important , why didn't they just keep NFL Europe ? Then all those countries could build their own stadiums & have their own teams along with their own players . I know it is all greed driven but when do the original American fans get fed up with it & why do the original fans have to sacrifice in order for the NFL to do this ? They still keep the season ticket holders $ & get paid more for the over seas game ? Something isn't right there !! I know this year with the Bills going to London for a game i really don't care because it's not a game taken away from the fans that go to the Ralph , but we all know what it was like to take a game a year away from the fans & have them go to Toronto. THAT SUCKED !! Leaving season ticket holders holding the bag . If the NFL is going to do this then why don't they reimburse the season ticket holders for that game that they are basically taking away from the home fan base . In the general thought pattern of today more of a good thing is better supposedly which is apparently the reason why the NFL is looking to add more games & more countries to the NFL mix . Apparently R. Goodell & the rest of the fat cats of the NFL need to make MO MONEY ! But when is to much TO MUCH ? The reason why the NFL is so huge is because they leave you wanting more which keeps the appetite for the game going . I hope they don't go the way that Baseball did ! I watched a piece on ESPN the other day of baseball back in the 70's or 80's the stadiums were filled every seat , you watch a game now & half may be filled on a good day i hope the talking heads learn from other sports & don't over saturate the market to where the NFL is just another game !!! Lets keep American football in America where it belongs !!
  2. So who in the deep & talented CB group that we have do you get rid of then & why if they were going to do that would you draft another CB in the second round with our first pick of this years draft ?
  3. It seems as though all the stars are aligning to come up to 50 being a great number for the Bills !! This year is Super Bowl 50 , the last league championship the Bills won was 50 years ago this year , just what 2 years ago was it the 50th year since the Bills became a professional team ( i know that was a reach but run with it) Just think with this D , the new coaching staff , the new ownership , the new outlook of the team I just think that 50 could be a really good number for the Bills ! Not to mention how many other teams have made it with a less than elite QB , as long as we can get a good game manager under center it could happen this year !! GO BILLS !!
  4. That just comes with the Marrone regime ! He didn't have a clue with EJ , CJ , Watkins , Woods , B. Brown , Chandler , he didn't know how to put a good O line together by letting his best guard in Urbik sit the bench most the year . The best thing he ever did was hire D coaches !! That was a pure homer hire , Brandons last stand ! WOW i'm glad that night mares over !!!
  5. CJ was always a class act while he was here , I don't know how people couldn't like the guy ? He was always professional , never threw any body under the bus . Couldn't ask for a better team guy !! The only one that new how to use him was Chan & i think we will see him used as he should be in NO !! I for one will always route for him --- until he plays the Bills !!
  6. UM because that would put him over $19 million in 3 years ?? I'm just saying ...
  7. If you judge how our O line was when Joe D was here to what they looked like last year i'd say the guy doesn't have a snowballs chance in H@*L of getting better !!
  8. I have unopened boxes of Flutie Flakes , & Mario O's would like to get a box of TO's but haven't came across an as of yet
  9. Since free agency hit the NFL it has been 10 times harder to build & sustain a winning team or as they called it back in the day "A Dynasty". This next couple of years the Bills will be hard pressed to keep a lot of the players that are up for new contracts because of the ridiculous amounts of money the players are expected to get paid . The NFL finally got smart & put a rookie salary cap on the players coming into the league so they would have to prove themselves before they went out to make the big bucks , and the Vets could get more money as it should be. Along with each team having a salary for said team per year & the rookie salary cap should there be another cap put in place ? Should there be a limit on how much one individual is allowed to get paid per contract or per year ? The reason why i ask this is because in the Bills situation we have Mario making a huge contract , Hughes now making a large contract & next year Dareus will be opting to make the same money as Suh got which with the salary cap per team hurts each team that tries to keep their corp players to build a good team for a long period of time . Not to mention Glenn, Gilmore, Bradham , & others coming up for new contracts . How much money is to much ? I know it's a dangerous game but when it comes down to pay day some of these guys are making in the Hundreds of Thousands per game which is only what 3 hrs tops ? I know i'll probably catch some hell for this but i would like to see some kind of cap put on individual contracts as to help keep a player on a team . You know that Dareus & others want to hit the FA market in order to start a bidding war just to see who will pay the most money . Then in a few short years the team finds them selves in the position of not having enough funds to keep the players around because of other contracts like the Bills have . Even despite what Hughes said how much he loved playing with these guys & how good they played off of each other if he would have hit the market he would have been gone . He even said there would be no home town discount ... Albert Haynesworth was doing great till he went for the big money & where did that go ? Isn't it better to stay with a scheme & a team that has a chance to put your self in the record books by winning a SB , or is it better to go down as having the biggest pay day & then being a bust ? If your going to make big bucks just go be a lawyer or something . The contracts are getting way to expensive , starting to be like B Ball pretty soon players will be playing to half empty stadiums because ticket prices will be outrageous & no one will be able to afford going to the games because of the ridiculous contracts . When or where will it stop ??
  10. Well i would be willing to bet that the food at the Ralph is probably among some of the best for what you pay for also . I have traveled all over the US & the Buffalo/ western NY area has some of the best food going !! So why wouldn't the Ralph have it there too ?
  11. Although the guy is supremely talented his ego is bigger than anything he carries on the field ! This guy reminds me a lot of Kellen Winslow Jr. when he came out all mouth saying he's as good as he is & wearing the #1 , & the superman thing when he scores , it's to much for me but i guess not for the Panthers . That's alright they can have him !! What ever happened to the guys that come out , do there job , & go to the bench ? Like a Pete Metzlars , or Montana ? There was no "LOOK AT ME I'M THE FREAKIN GREATEST JUST ASK ME" attitude they played & it was about the team ... Now the contracts are getting as bad or worse than baseball ! It's almost time to go to watching college !! After the Bills win a Super Bowl !!
  12. It must have been because of Marrone offensive guruism that they brought Tuel aboard ... Although i think the Bills fans (only in the case of Tuel) were way to quick to judge his play & also hope he does well in the NFL i hope it is with someone other than Marrone & company ! That would just give some kind of substance that Marrone is a good football person & I'm not sure he really ever was or will be !!
  13. It could be due to his back injury . If Torrell Troup is any indication of how Williams career could go he won't be around long ! The only thing that stinks about it is the dead money the Bills will be on the hook for & the draft pick lost to bring him here in the first place . His playing history should have been more looked into before the decision was made to bring him here . I wonder who had the last say of the matter ?
  14. The only way a win against the Pats is valid is while Brady is at QB & they are at full strength ! The Bills beat them at the end of last year & a lot of their starters were on the bench & the end result in the media was "the same as it ever was" !! The Bills won because the starters were on the bench !!
  15. Could also replace Booby Dixon on the roster too because of his ST's availability , especially if he is a better runner than Booby which it seems that he is by his college tape .. Bye Bye Booby !!
  16. Garoppolo was one QB i was hoping we would have gotten in the draft with his quick release & his accuracy along with all of his other strengths . I hope this will be a game that just because of Brady not being in the line up Rex & the team won't sleep on & i don't think they will . This could be one of those so called trap games if the Bills allow it to be . And if the Bills win it the comments will say that it would be different if Brady was a t QB . I like Rex wish Brady was playing so we could prove just how good our team really is . But the Bills will get to prove themselves in the second game against the Pats later in the season !! GO BILLS !!!
  17. EJ has all the tools to be a NFL QB . There were only 2 things that were his down fall when he was coming out in the draft which where the 2 most important . Accuracy & his ability to read defenses & make the quick decision . Hopefully his work this offseason has helped him with his accuracy but the decision making can only come when real bullets fly . I hope for his sake & the Bills future he works out , the only other thing is if he does make the jump his agent will want the Bills to pay a kings ransom to keep him ...
  18. That was awesome !!
  19. Really good O coordinators know how to use the talent they have on their roster & use each of their individual players talents as strengths in their offense scheme , and build the offense accordingly . Roman is a really good O coordinator !!
  20. After ONE NFL start are you kidding this kid threw a interception in the game & not just a interception but a PICK 6 in his first ever NFL start ! OMG !!! "He's washed up - He'll never amount to anything in the NFL - He's a practice squad QB - He's terrible !! The Bills should get rid of the bum " !!! "But we don't know enough about EJ poor guy has only had 14 starts , he should be given more time under center to figure out if he is our franchise QB . At 14 starts it's unfair to judge him as a bust ." Welcome to Bills fan logic !! See ...
  21. Whaley will get the player he wants at the value of the pick . There are a lot of good players left that can be had in the second round & be a good value for the team .
  22. I don't see it happening ! Roman wants a mobile QB & Petty is no that guy . Unless a endorsement comes from Roman i don't think Whaley will do it .
  23. I love Sammy as a player & his ability & what he brings to the team , but what the Bills said they have wanted for the past 2 + seasons "A Big Receiver Thats Open When He's Not Open" is not what Sammy is . Given what Buddy & Whaley said & the out put of the receiver class last year & EJ being our "QB of the future" I thought they would have went after there big receiver & some one EJ would have been familiar & comfortable with to bring EJ along . That person being Kelvin Benjamin . He did great in his rookie season , is the BIG receiver they were saying they wanted , a great red zone threat , & a player they wouldn't have had to give up this years 2015 first round pick for . The only thing i can figure is that with Sammy loving the Bills as a kid & him being a great kid & football player , not to mention some saying he was the best talent in the draft (which Odell Beckham might have something to say about that) i think Whaley did what he thought was best for the team . I think this year will tell us all a lot more about the pick !!
  24. That is something that smart teams & teams that win would do is keep both just incase . Hey thats something the Pats would & have done for years !!
