it's the age of the williams

urbik isnt going anywhere

our oline was not good, barely average if that last season. so not sure why they would be referred to as talented. hopefully these rookies can pan out. we still may have large gaps at rt and guard.

as an urban planning student. this rings so true to me. more public space, and communal areas. less special events. we need more people living in central business districts, not more businesses, and people in the suburbs. http://www.ted.com/talks/amanda_burden_how_public_spaces_make_cities_work?utm_source=email&source=email&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=ios-share

I am curious. Since you claim to use 15 years of data. Can you calculate the accuracy of your analytic s each draft. Similar to the projection of your front page and projection. So if you have 15 years worth of data, can we see a side by side comparison of pre-draft projection of skill, and actual career. I want to believe in analytics, and these numbers. I just want to see the accuracy of the algorithms you have created, not just cross comparison of athletes, but overall career accuracy of each player you have collected data on. Does this exist? I am not with with others in terms of saying Aaron Williams is our starter and played well this year, so he must be a better player than you project. Only time will tell if that is the truth. The Bills have been playing backups as starters for years. Also, no surprise that McKelvin is tested higher than Gilmore. With any ball skills what so ever he would be better than Gilmore all day. He is the better athlete. Locate the damn ball Leodis!!!

marshawn is light years better than any stevie johnson. the marshawn lynch trade was to dodge a future incedent and long term suspension. not because he didnt provide value to the team. SJ13, while I wish guys like this would fplay their whole career in Buffalo, he didn't do a whole lot under the new regime. Not sure if it was a skill or coaching issue, regardless, he is and never will be the the football player that Lynch is. One is one of the best in the league at his job, the other, even his hometown biased fans, think is a solid not great, number 2 or slot.

The largest site I can think of, the brownfield space you are talking about from Bethlehem Steel, will become a superfund site. It is almost entirely unusable, and a health risk disaster. It is almost a certainty that that site will go unused for most of my lifetime. The cost of cleaning that up for public use as a whole is in the 100's of millions of dollars. While small portions are being sold off, it is in very small portions. No way that site will work without very serious investment, nearly the cost of the stadium itself. Check out the mess that is Hickory Woods, just a few blocks away in South Buffalo. No way the city helps fund a stadium near there, they were/are in a ton of hot water from their last publicly funded build. We where left a disaster in that area. Most don't realize.

I know first full year of the new regime, but Manuel was no surprise, good or bad spot to grab him, I don't think anybody following the Bills was shocked. Same with Spiller a few years prior. Woods was a gimme as well.

so EJ makes a 9th player. Wood has to give him the ball. The question is, who is the lucky 11th guy on the field? We need an 11th guy what is Whaley doing, sleeping?

I think Pegula was always part of that group, although nothing was announced. FWIW I used to date a girl, whose family was very close, and business partners with Pegula. Did not realize how much money they where worth then, but am kicking myself now. It's OK, the middle class is treating me well. Jim Kelly is also a close family friend of theirs. The connection is pretty direct, even though it sounds weak.

I think the sad but true truth here, is that Ralph's legacy will either be forever enshrined or tarnished by how the handling of selling this team goes. If they stay, he will be remembered as King, they leave, and he leaves fans feeling bitter for not being responsible. Please go out a King Mr. Wilson!

Video i haven't seen posted after his rookie camp. says Bills offense is simpler than the FSU offense, one that was criticized for EJ only having to see half of the field. Possibly Hackett does this to help progress EJ, possibly a reflection on EJ's NFL readiness, or even a knock on Hackett for not giving the NFL enough credit for need for scheming. Not sure if this has any legs, obviously you have to take these interviews with a grain of salt.

obviously kiko would win at all positions, but FB in these situations would suit him perfectly. ok kiko, just run as fast as you can at the guy in the b gap, and go!

I just don't see TE for the Bills. Chandler, Moeaki, Gragg, Smith. While not great, I just don't see us adding a 5th at the position, especially in the first. I think Moeaki is a big question mark the with ability to move into a really solid addition for us. I wouldn't undersell that at all. I am sure we would like an insurance policy, but you don't grab those in the first round.

i think eventually the kickers will learn to put more hang time like the punters and will start to try and pin teams deep. it won't happen immediately but the next generation of kickers will adapt is my guess

not sure how Jim Kelly is not named more on this board. maybe it is the reoccurance of his cancer. my thoughts and prayers to him, but he was never the greatest person.

oh good, the Dick Jauron era is coming back

Can't exclude the Chroise

Don't care about the retread stuff, but I think he called a terrible first half against the Broncos. Basically spotting Peyton 17 points. Far too conservative

I don't think every team has to do it, but that no team is aloud to turn it down anymore. Basically HBO picks a team, and the NFL as a franchise accepts it. On a similar idea, the same as the draft. I have heard a few GMs say that the draft is unamerican, being told where you have to work. Think of it like McDonalds. You apply, get a job at the Sheridan location. Then say you only want to work at Delaware. Nope you have a job McDonalds, you work at the location we need or want you, otherwise you don't work here. Long story longer, the NFL singed an agreement with HBO, in turn HBO is allowed to shoot wherever they want. Mostly because the owners aren't individuals at all, they all belong to the NFL

For me, if it is between Marrone and Dareus, at this point it is easy to say Dareus stays Marrone walks. I doubt Marrone has this type of clout with Whaley anyways, no way the FO should let a player like Dareus go at the advice of a first time HC.

i have been saying this for a while. why hasnt green bay fixed that oline. rogers regularly takes a huge beating. it has already started to bite them in the ass when he got injured. he has easily the worst ol in the playoffs. in all honesty that roster is a little bit of a mess, held together by a handful of all-stars.

The biggest issue with Hacket is he isn't Chan. Seriously. We saw a bad Oline masked with scheme, how dangerous CJ can be when put in the right positions. Hackett did a terrible job at getting CJ in space and, did nothing to get the pressure of a weak O line.

I heard on NFL radio, a lot of guys who go sleeveless where petroleum jelly on there skin. it wicks moisture, and insulates the skin all at the same time. when you break it down this way, it may be even better than a polypro long sleeve, especially since they can reapply regularly. not to mention for a rb most likely makes him harder to grab.

Dude, your'e arguing for arguments sake. he led the Bengals to their first winning season in 15 years! Fine pre-injury he hadn't won a playoff game, but put the Bengals on the map in terms of recent relativity. He also only threw one pass in the playoffs, only to be injured and then in turn create the Palmer rule. he had an average QBR over 100. Your argument holds little to no validity, and you hide behind the guise of raise standards
