  1. Hey i can dream can't I ? After all most of you do the fantasy football thing & i don't burst ya'lls bubble . Besides what is so unrealistic about the trade of TJ to the Eagles to add a late round pick in the draft ? In my world it doesn't seem so far fetched . Hang on i have to take my medication i'll be right back my nurse is here ...
  2. The NFL with their rules are becoming like the Nazi empire the latest change has definitely described the NFL as the "No Fun League" i mean come on these guys are excited to score whats next ban what was first known as the Lambeau leap they will turn this thing into the most boring game to watch ever it will rank right up there as far as boring with soccer !!
  3. Now that the Eagles have gotten rid of a WR that is 5' 10" tall & was a speed guy could the Bills, or should the Bills look into trying to help the Eagles replace that guy in Philly ? The Bills have a WR that has some pretty good speed but has been covered up on the depth chart & after the draft may slip even lower & get less game time than he has had in the recent past . I am talking about TJ Graham . Do you think the Bills should try & move him via trade to the Eagles & get back a 3rd , 4th or 5th round pick "OR LATER" for him ? I for one think it would be a good move . The Bills will more than likely pick up another WR via the draft so that will in turn drop TJ down the depth chart even further with the emergence of Woods & Goodwin . So would this be something the Bills brain trust should look into seeing as TJ's out put has been below average to say the least ? If they get some one like Mike Evans or Watkins i doubt TJ will get a sniff of the field unless some one goes down & gets hurt . I never did understand the pick any way he was not a WR that was heavily talked about in his draft . All's i can thing is they were looking to develop him into that receiver .
  4. Now that our beloved owner has passed the stories of the Bills future in Buffalo have already started, but the questions of the Bills in Buffalo have been going on for quite some time & here at 2 Bills drive i know we have had many posts about the subject . In the last year alone we have had many talks about the Water front stadium, the renovations that are now on going at The Ralph for this upcoming season , & there are many different opinions about the entire stadium debate, & now with Ralph passing it will more than likely increase ! We all know especially if you are a home owner the up keep of your home never seems to stop so why would it be any different with the Bills home or any other NFL franchise home ? So it got me to thinking, seeing as the NFL is a copy cat league in the playing of the game why not be that in the ways of copying other older teams actions of keeping there teams in a up to date NFL stadium 2 immediately came to mind . One being a partner to our own Ralph Wilson in starting the AFL Lamar Hunt which was another original like Ralph to bring their teams into the merge of the NFL , which have played at Arrowhead stadium most of there franchise /NFL life . Arrowhead Stadium broke ground in July of 1968 & opened onAug 12th of 1972 at the cost of $43 million . To bring the stadium up to par they did a renovation in 2010 that cost $375 million to to what it is today a viable NFL stadium . Then there are 2 of the oldest NFL venues that are all up dated & 2 of the nicest stadiums in the league a t a lot less than the $1.6 Billion price tag that Jerry paid for his ego . Lambeau Field opened in 1957 as City Field in Green Bay at the original cost of $960,000 . In 1995 they did a $4.7 million renovation to it & then again in 2000 they did another to the tone of $295 million & then the last one started in 2013 which will add yet another $140 million in reno's to the stadium which will infuse some $60 million into the local economy as wages . Total reno costs at $39 mill ... Last on the post is the oldest NFL stadium Soldier Field opened in 1924 . Which the Bears didn't move in until 1971. In 2001 they took out bonds to pay for the renovation of the stadium at a cost of $400 million which is still a far cry from $1.6 for a new stadium which would be nice but in the present economy of western NY a renovation of the Ralph looks to be the most cost efficient way to keep the Bills viable for a while . What are some of your thoughts on this matter I know it may be a rehash but there will be a lot of rehashing this topic until we find out the future of our beloved Bills .
  5. With all of the talk here about weather or not EJ is the guy of the future & if we should pick up another QB if one falls in our lap there is one coach that seems to think along those lines . He references the Redskins to their 2 QB draft a couple of years back which didn't hurt them & may have helped them in some instances when RG3 went down, which happened to EJ last year & has the possibility in a game such as football which as they say any back up is one play away from being a starter . http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000336603/article/mike-pettine-cleveland-browns-might-draft-two-qbs It just so happens this is also the forward thinking that put our D on the map . And i for one will say i think this year will be a coming out party for this team !! Enjoy the read ...
  6. Ya at least we waited till the 16th over all of the first round so we don't have as much to lose if EJ tanks !! If the Jets had a back up plan at QB this would't have hurt them as bad but thats what they get for putting all their eggs in one basket !!
  7. DITTO ! He has a Marino like quick release !!
  8. Theres always 2 sides to every story , if the other guy was a punk he may have deserved what ever they are alleging he got .
  9. The thing is that the Bills are still paying him on the contract he signed here . Who ever allowed that to happen the way that it did should do one of two things , either be made to pay the remainder of the contract after he's let go or immediately be fired !!
  10. I really like Carrington i can't stand his agent !!
  11. They didn't do it when Wilson was there & have said they aren't going to do it this year which IMHO is pretty foolish putting all your eggs in one basket but there has been a lot of moves the Bills have done that i haven't understood . I think we should se our 3rd round pick for the best LB available & get a QB in the 4th depending on who is there . If Garrapollo, Boyd, or McCarron is there i would snatch any of them up in a heart beat !! Would be a great back up plan & taken that late wouldn't hurt EJ's feelings as has been said !!
  12. Would be a very good move !!
  13. SAME AS IT EVER WAS !!! (great band) Why should it be any different this year than the past ? Besides when ever they do look at the Bills & start talking about how good they look & what they look like on paper like what 2 years ago we always fall flat on our face with the expectations being so high . So let's just keep it under the radar & go out & kick butt !!
  14. I think they would be better served to wait till the later rounds for a player like Garrapillo, Boyd, or McCarron to fall to us . One of these guys are going to be there in the later rounds & if we can fill the O line pick in 1st or 2nd get a good WR & another LB i could see this being a great back up plan JUST INCASE.. You never know how things will go but if the so called experts are even close to being right we could have it all back wards . If they would have kept Fitz one more year there would have been a lot less dead money going out cause of that great contact move & given what the again so called experts said about last years class of QB's . Yet this years is suppose to be way above what last years was so if we don't take a QB late i think it could bite us once again & there might be the possibility of us looking back in a couple of years saying the same things we said about Losman & Edwards . With nothing to fall back on ...
  15. I just got through watching the video of newly signed CB Corey Graham & Chris Brown talking while in the locker room which is very cool ! To see a true Bills fan now playing for the team to fufill a dream is great . I think that just maybe there may be a bit more loyalty with a player that grew up being a fan of the team he now play for, and less of the all mighty dollar mentality but i am probably wrong cause cash is after all the bottom line !! With that being said it would be great to have a take 2 of this scenario . Sammy Watkins has said he grew up watching the Bills & has been a fan his entire life. He remembers watching the great 90's teams as we all did, so i think it would be cool if there was a way he could come to the Bills in this years draft, although i don't see it . I think Watkins will be gone before our pick at 9 plus i think a better scenario would be what i am thinking the picks could help the team over all . Even though this draft being so deep if we got Watkins in the 1st we could still get a really good O lineman in the second , so i guess it could work . My personal picks by rounds are 1st) OT - Lewan - Mich 2nd) WR - Benjamin - FSU & 3rd) LB - Borland - Wis. if still there . With getting Spikes he could be Borland's mentor & when Spikes contract is up he will be ready to go at ILB . I think the first 2 because they both would help EJ not just keeping him protected yet another take 2 with Benjamin (if that is the guy WR from FSU i am thinking about) which EJ already has a familiarity with & could jell quicker & be the Big WR we have been talking about . As for Borland I think he is going to be another London Fletcher from every thing that i have heard of him pre-draft . Any way there are 2 take 2's for one .
  16. He could be the next name a top of the Dead Money list for the Bills ... Which would stink cause i think he is a good player , if nothing else try to trade him & get something in return ...
  17. I have many times due to my work . It matches jerry's ego it's like his mansion on the hill . It has fan seating or boxes behind the players which IMHO stink because during the game your always looking at the asses of the players which if your a chick i guess it would be OK but i want to see the game . Jerry world is just that , it has more access to the players they actually walk through the bar area to go to the locker room which i guess if you are that ate up with the players would be cool but i like a little more separation which keeps the fan / player thing alive . I would hope if a stadium is built in B/lo it is more to mirror the city than the owner & i want nothing to do with being any where remotely the same as Jerry Jones .
  18. The first of many of Jerrah's very stupid moves & he's still going strong !! Makes me feel really good to be a Bills fan !!
  19. I think we go OT in the first , if we do go with Evans that would be a huge upgrade at WR & we need the big guy but i think due to the siv that was our O line last year & all the people brought in to help EJ the investment will be in a OT in the first . Then i think they will get his old buddy from FSU is it Benjamin in the second . EJ is very familiar with the guy playing with him in college & all so the learning curve would be shortened for both of them . I hope they can get a guy like Borland in the 3rd to bolster the LB corp i just think the guy will be the next London Fletcher ... That's my first 3 round picks 1) Lewan 2) Benjamin 3) Borland
  20. TJ Graham or Hogan . Actually both ...
  21. Hopefully the guys that were brought in to help Hackett will be able to use their experience & open Hackett's & Marrones eyes to what they have & how to use it correctly . I can never understand why when a coaching change is made with all the tape from the previous season why the new coaching staff can't see beyond their noses & have to change every thing . They throw out all the good stuff along with the bad like letting O line coach DeAlisandris go with some good player after doing what he did for our O line & Dehaven ST coach for Crossman..
  22. Same here bring him on he will be a stud for who ever gets him !! And i hope it's the Bills !!
  23. I looked around & did n't see mention of this so if i missed it forgive me . Seeing as they are bringing in Spikes for a look & it could be due to Pepper Johnson & the change to a more 4/3 D would the possibility of more spice being brought in (at a veteran minimum) be a possibility ? Or has he been signed some where else ? I was thinking of the thought of adding more Pepper to the D as in Julius Peppers . You all think there would be any way we might be able to sign a guy like this ? If he was on the opposite side of Mario with Kiko, Spikes , Rivers (as long as they can squeeze some production out of him) & Lawson or one of our other LB's on the other side would be a pretty awesome D . Just asking ...
  24. Wheres the link ???
  25. Thank you i get blasted for saying this stuff, glad to see i'm not the only one that doesn't get signing 1st rounders that flame out & such but hey it's apparently just me … The Broncos & Pats are having a excellent FA the Bills i don't see it refer to last 4 words of sentence above ...
