  1. I don't think the back and forth has anything to do with being a fan of the Bills or not. It's more of a message board thing where people feel the need to be right so they go to ever more extreme positions to be seen as insightful or witty. It's a game of one-upmanship to be king of the message board.
  2. Now he's the back-up to Drew Willy on the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. But with Willy going down to a knee injury Brohm will have to compete with Robert Marve (Eugene's son) to be the starter.
  3. Unless Obama is clearing the decks for Joe Biden.
  4. You're right. Look at all the success local teams have had doing it the "Buffalo way."
  5. It's my understanding that Brady can't take this to court just because he doesn't agree with the outcome. By signing on to the CBA which regulates the governing of the league in respect to all 1700+ NFL players Tom Brady wittingly or unwittingly agreed to the procedures that were used to prosecute him. The idea that the NFL is investigator, prosecutor, judge and jury is weird but that is what was agreed upon to save time and money. Unless Roger Goodell's motives were corrupt or he did them for an improper motive the penalty will stand. So look for Brady's team to go after Goodells character because that's the only way they can move forward. Good luck to them in proving corrupt personal motives.
  6. It was intended to be a little tongue in cheek. However it is true that he couldn't even get on the field for the Bills but he did make plays for the Jets. Which is more than he ever did in Buffalo.
  7. I learned that the Bills couldn't figure out how to use Maybin effectively buy Rex Ryan could with the Jets.
  8. Questionable if he's even good enough for the CFL. Many here see this more as a ploy by GM Jim Popp to keep his name in circulation south of the border because he's been angling for an NFL GM job.
  9. I think the NFL will hand down a harsh penalty on Brady. They threw the book at Peterson and Rice. Now I know the incidents are not at all similar but with the current mood in the country they open themselves up to charges that they have different levels of punishment based on the color of your skin. My belief is that the NFL will do what they need to do to avoid that. Also don't be surprised if Belichik gets at least fined if not suspended.
  10. The OP used the T word? Larry Wilmore would like a word with you.
  11. If they were burning the American flag instead of drawing cartoons then people would be told to keep quiet and respect others rights to free speech. The art of Mapplethorpe and Serrano was championed as expressions of free speech and had to be tolerated if we wanted to hold onto our beliefs of a free society. But that was easy because nobody was coming to kill them for their expression of free speach. It's curious how people stand up for human rights and the constitution when its easy. It's sickening how many are willing to throw their rights away when the going gets tough. "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Evelyn Beatrice Hall
  12. The BC Lions own his rights. He'd be better off going to the CFL.
  13. Todd McShay was on the Mike & Mike show this morning. When asked what's next for him now that the draft is over he said the "suits" at ESPN gave him a choice between writing draft grades or doing a 2016 mock draft. He chose the mock draft because he thinks draft grades are stupid. So with that in mind I wonder how many of these draft grade articles are being forced on these writers and they have little interest in doing them. So they just put out something with little effort or insight.
  14. Drafting Frank Clark gives the Seahawks an F in my opinion.
  15. Not sure if this has been posted anywhere. If you're a big geek like me some of you guys might enjoy this site. http://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/
  16. Not sure if the poll is really accurate. You would have to add to Manuel if you want to get Tannehill.
  17. This may become a trend in the NFL. With all the heightened awareness about the long term health impacts of playing football it's not out of the question to see more players cashing in early and getting out once the contract expires.
  18. My opinion is that if the Bills do bring in another QB (Locker, Sanchez,etc.) EJ will be given his walking papers. Bringing in Cassell to push EJ makes sense, bringing in a second guy indicates what they really think about EJ.
  19. I wouldn't mind that. If Chad Pennington is right and it takes a QB 3 years to develop in the NFL Locker should be all set to go.

  21. That why I led off with "Seems unlikely". But you also threw in a caveat "unless they do cut him". So do you think there's a chance of that happening? If I had to put money on it I'd agree and say EJ is most likely going to be the starter this year. But at the same time I can certainly understand a POV that would say why would Rex Ryan want to go that way? The Bills are ready to win now. Some could argue their window is opening, if only they can find a QB that's ready to go now. If you are Rex Ryan do you want to wait on a QB that needs developing? Who's to say what the team will be like the following year? Major injuries, contract disputes, or a host of other things could radically alter the team in only a years time. It might not happen, but then again it's not that uncommon in the NFL. And if this is what Rex Ryan says, his last NFL coaching job, do you want to risk a chance to win now when virtually all the pieces are in place to do so? I don't know. I'm just throwing the possibility out there.
  22. That's why they didn't talk to the top 2 QBs. You're probably right but it seems to be that they aren't too happy with EJ being the starter.
  23. Seems unlikely. But it's been reported the Bills talked to every QB at the combine with the exception of Marriota and Winston. They appear to be looking for someone, anyone, other than EJ
