Happy

Pass on a going-on-to 30 yr old disgruntled WR, who we don't have the cap space for, anyway. Wait until the 2019 draft to get our WR. Yes, I know, our WR situation is far from good.

My comments are specific to the defensive line. Agree that Hughes should be written in black, I don't see him not making the roster. I think Eddie Yarbrough should be written in blue as he has been a solid niche player. Overall, this list looks solid.

Didn't Bill Cowher recommend Chan Gailey after he (Cowher) turned the Bills down for the HC position? At that point, Cowher was out of coaching for a good 4-5 years.

week 1 vs Baltimore. Not out of the question.

I think they'll be better than 6 wins, by the defense alone. The expectation I have going into the season is 8-8 or 9-7. My big thing is that I want to see progress on the offense side of the ball, both coaching and players executing, after a less than stellar 2017 offensive showing.

Why would it? Peyton sold all his Denver area franchise locations years ago. He appeared in some of the commercials, but so did JJ Watt and Joe Montana.

No. This story is just too tragic. Woman should be locked away for life.

I'll listen to the 90s channel on Sirius XM from time to time. I've always been partial to the early 90s music rather than the late 90s music. IMO, late 90s music started getting a little cheesy. It definitely changed around late '94 - '96.

Completely agree with this take; it's spot on. Kudos to Buddy Nix for bringing Mario to Buffalo at a time when the Bills needed a big splash FA to help jump start the franchise during a time when things looked desolate. Mario didn't live up to his contract, but IMO his presence helped bring in other FAs, and is one reason why things turned around and are looking brighter now. Nobody wanted to come to Buffalo in 2012. Things ended horribly because Rex is an idiot. Here is the quote regarding Mario: “Mario Williams, yeah, but he is making $17 million dollars [in Miami]. Guess what, it wasn’t going to happen. Now look, with some of the comments [he made], do I wish him well? Not really. But, he’s on Miami. If he would have gone somewhere else, maybe. He’s a good kid, but I am used to some mean motherf—ers that play out there. The Terrell Suggs, Jarrett Johnsons of the world. I screwed them, too; I had them drop [into coverage], too. Not one of them bitched. Von Miller [dropped into coverage] in the Super Bowl. Why? Because that’s what’s asked of him; that’s what his job is. Your job is to play. Coaches spend a hell of a lot more time studying tape and everything else. They are trying to put the team in the best position to be successful, not an individual.” Rex's defense was so dysfunctional - he had Dlinemen dropping into coverage and DBs rushing the QB. I don't blame Mario for bitching; he did so because hard head Rex didn't listen to in house criticism and suggestions.

But they're keeping Beth Mowins? ? Should just can both of them.

Good point. McD has not thrown a player or subordinate under the bus in any media that I remember seeing or hearing. Agree that the firing did say everything that needed to be said. But for completeness, it would be good if the media at least mentions Dennison as being part of the equation.

Funny, not one mention of Rick Dennison in the article, who shoulders the vast majority of blame for the struggling offense as well as starting Peterman in the Chargers game.

Condolences, man. Losing a pet is like losing a family member. I remember when we had to put our dog down after 14 years of life. Sad day, but he was really struggling and suffering at the end.

Maybe this thread can merge with "Shaq Lawson on roster bubble" started a month ago?

I think I'd pass on this one.

Saving Private Ryan, Cast Away (Wilson!!!), A League of Their Own

This^^^ as well as a revitalized John Miller. Still leaves RT as a big question mark.

Once you get to 40, it is a good idea to get an annual physical. I get one every year, but I also am on statins for high cholesterol due to hereditary nature, not poor diet and lack of exercise.

I don't think it was shuffling picks, but rather obtaining the players they want on their team. Tyrod wasn't the type of QB they wanted starting; great athlete and person, but not the type of QB to make a read and act decisively. As you stated earlier, Sammy would probably be gone, so moot point. Darby was decent to good, but replaceable; again, not who McD was looking for if he wasn't going to integrate into their system. I think they're happy with Dion Dawkins at LT, trading a former pro bowl T with foot/ankle issues was probably worth it to them. So while the number of trades in a short amount of time is probably higher than average, I don't think Beane and McD consciously thought of it that way. They probably wanted to create a competitive and integral team as quickly as possible. NFL is a win now league, something the Bills have largely struggled with for 18 years.

Yep. I think that is a big reason why Glenn got traded and they let EJ Gaines walk. But as for Tyrod, I'm not so sure that....j/k.

Do McDonalds play places still exist? I haven't seen one of those in years.

I don't think the cost above draft capital was that expensive. Glenn supposedly mailed it in after his big contract, and he couldn't stay healthy the past two years. By good young corner, I guess you mean Ron Darby. What good is a player (no matter how good he is on the field) if he doesn't buy into the system? IMO, EJ Gaines (when he played) was better than Darby and I am optimistic that Vontae Davis will be better than Darby, then hopefully one of the young guys, or potential draft pick will step in once Vontae Davis is done. I think Beane and McD knew Tre would be a solid pick...and he was. Play matched expectations, don't think there was too much luck there. Tre may have overachieved a little (and just a little) but I think expectations for him were fairly high, which he definitely met. If Allen doesn't play up to his expectations then it will be a shame once the "history of now" narrative occurs. Like people forget that the Bills wandered around the QB desert for 20+ years, attempting to compete with Moses. Beane tried to address this long standing problem, and I (and probably most Bills fans) hope he is proven successful.

Could also be Willis McGahee or Atonio Cromartie. Both have generously spread their seed.

The content is good, but the format is still 1998.

Fair enough; admittedly I overlooked the # of carries. But would you want Murray now, IF he did not announce his retirement? I personally would not.
