First of all, a Billion doesn't sound like it gets the job done against Pegula for one thing. Didn't Pegula just rake in 1.75 Billion in cash? I think he'd have a problem outbidding "The Donald" as well... end of story...

Can Bon Jovi even place a bid given his known plan to move the team to Toronto? And what was discussed at that lunch between Bon Jovi and Roger Goodell? One could envision Comm Goodell, in not so many words, letting it be known that Toronto would stand a strong chance of getting a team when the NFL expands to London etc... so perhaps Bon Jovi's Group decides to not submit a bid knowing that Pegula has both the $$$ and the Will to see this thing through... Financing a new stadium in Toronto is gonna be tricky given current financial constraints there... It doesn't hurt to have Chuck Shumer's influence and the backing of Gov Cuomo either... Bon Jovi's Group may realize that moving the Bills is simply too costly to seriously pursue...
-
My guess is that there is -ZERO- chance that the Bills draft a QB this year... The plan is to build up the offense around EJ this year... So it just doesn't matter...
-
When the Bills needed a LT a few years ago they waited till the second round and took Glenn. Why now are the Bills going to take a lesser impact spot on the Oline in the first? It appears this draft has plenty of good OT's that will be available in the second or better yet 3rd round.
Nothing about taking a RT in the first feels good to me, unless it comes in the high 20's and the Bills got an extra pick or two in a trade.
They took Cordy Glenn in rd 2 because Stephon Gilmore was more highly regarded and allegedly a bigger need...
-
suppose The Bills were to trade S.J. to Oakland to swap picks? and grab Watkins?
-
It's two QBs, Manziel at 26, but I'm not buying it either.
If two QBs, three OTs, Clowney, and Watkins go in the first seven, then either Evans or Mack falls to the Bills.
hmmm... an interesting choice... but I think doubtful that Mack could fall that far...
-
my gut feeling on this is that the Bills like Lewan at #9 and would simply take him themselves... sorry...
-
I'd cast my vote for a roof roof... But while I wouldn't rule NF out, I'd still cast my vote with Buffalo/Erie County...
-
If the talk of a relatively quick sale and transfer of ownship approval by the League is true than this could very well be Marrone's make it or get fired year... Same holds true for Whaley...
-
I don't see Houston swapping #1st round picks with us for Spiller and next years #1... and are the Bills willing to give Chris Johnson a boatload of cash? I think the Bills will stay put at #9...
-
correct.
And to add to all this. People want to sit there and complain about Stevie's attitude and all that... Desean Jackson is 10x worse. Wanna talk about stupid plays? How about showboating on your way into the end zone and dripping the ball before you even reach it?
People kill me sometimes.
You are totally right about D.Jackson... The guy may have a lot of natural ability but is too much of a showboater... Stevie is nowhere near as bad...
I'd like to see the Bills draft a WR/TE and an OT 1-2... If EJ can stay healthy we should know what we have in him by the end of this season...

sound abit familiar to the Bill's OL wants and needs...

There's alot of things a man can rehab himself from... DOG TORTURING/KILLING ISN'T ONE OF THEM....

I don't drink the Kool Aid from Pessimists or Homers, but have to believe that Whaley explored all options with Byrd. Who here really knows what is happening behind close doors? There are a lot of angles that nobody on this baord can claim to understand. The Bills wanted Jairus, Jairus has the right to want to move on. The tag wasn't applied. Let's move on to players that want to play for the Bills. Maybe Delmas?
Lets see now.... When Levitre left last year, who was it that the Bills brought in to replace him?? Who was that??
-
Personally, I see these two situations as very different. Different FO and coaching regimes, different positions.
SAME RESULT! That's what counts...
-
Has any one here even thought how Glenn and his agent would view such a move... When Glenn's contract is up don't you think that some other team is gonna come along and offer Glenn a ton of $$$ to play LT for them??? Or do you think that Glenn is gonna "settle" for LG $$$ when he could be making LT $$$ ???
-
Am I being delusional?
It's a good bet....
-
When EJ is healthy - he starts... end of story. Thad may earn himself the backup job if he continues to show well until EJ returns... EJ gets at least another year to show what he can do as a starter... This team still has a lot of holes to fill with next years draft picks... The Bills need to build around EJ...
-
Seriously, "they want to trade Byrd for Nassib" is the silliest suggestion I have ever seen on this board.
It hasn't played out yet.
The Bills may have been contacted by another team after EJ went down.
If Minn signs Freeman to start - Ponder or Cassels could be had... But what value does Byrd have at this point?
-
Because any big contract is going to be big every single year of the contract. That means that in 3 years time when we have to give EJ a $25mil/year deal to pay him what he's worth, there will be a chunk less money because we chose a few years earlier to overpay lesser talented players at lesser important positions.
Peyton Manning doesn't make $25mil/yr... I doubt EJ will anytime soon either... Not to say that EJ won't be making a big chunk of dough though...
-
To have him in the stable in case a player goes down. To develop him in-house. So a team in our division hungry for a wide receiver doesn't gobble him up. So we don't have to watch him become a superstar elsewhere.
I realize that the likelihood of him becoming a star is low now, that this some serious writing on the wall. But all of this is based on speculation. So !@#$ it. Who gives a ****?
Apparently, no one else seems to think he will become a superstar either... There are lots of guys who have talent... It's how you use it that matters... To put it another way.... If Marrone doesn't believe he will amount to very much, then why can't you and his other adoring fans accept it? I am not trying to be nasty here... Sincerely, it's time to move on... I care more about the players who have worked harder and apparently shown more to Marrone and the coaching staff than any one guy, no matter how talented he may seem to be....

Aaand love him or hate him, that's why kolb has a spot in the roster.
his spot on the roster should be to backup Tuel...
-
Tom Brady was known as a dink & dunk passer earlier in his career. You need to build a QB's confidence & allow them to get a rhythm. Then when the defense starts sitting on the short stuff, you beat them over the top.
Exactly... First sucker them in... Then burn them deep...
-
I don't think there can be any remaining doubt that the EJ Manuel Era has begun... He's clearly earned the starting nod... The only real question is Will the Bills cut Kolb? - my guess is not but you never know...
Who should stay on with new ownership?

If you are beginning to lose faith in Marrone, how then do you not blame the two guys that HIRED him?
And then there is the Watkins move... Was he really woth surrendering next years 1 and 4 picks for, when guys like Ebron or Beckham were available? I want to be clear that I am not necessarily endorsing one move over another. But there are two very different points of view here to consider... Some might consider Whaley's move as a bad act of desperation if things don't work out well.... A change of ownership might be the right time to "clean house"...
