[Pre-draft QB Rumors]

I coached a pretty talented college basketball player who's family is very close to Rudolph's family.  There dads in fact played college football together.  I asked him if today if he has heard about any interest the Bills might be showing Mason Rudolph and he didn't have anything to report.  He then said to me that the Bucs have good information that the Bills are very high on Baker Mayfield.  The reason he knows this is because he is also dating Dirk Koetter's daughter "head coach of the Bucs".  I'm not sure if the Bills are discussing a trade with the Bucs and he didn't have that information either.  Like I said, take this for what it is worth; just thought I would pass it along.

[What would you grade the 2017 draft?]

If you're grading the Bills against the rest of the league .... my grade is incomplete ... until the 2018 1st rounder is picked which we received from the Chiefs (though is/will be repackaged) .. that said .. .compared to past Bills drafts ... A+++++ ... granted kind of like the tallest midget award given past draft history (see below) for draft hell history  ... but a stud CB, a starting LT in 2017 ... works for me compared to below.

 

2016	2	Reggie Ragland
2016	3	Adolphus Washington

looking at this list-no wonder the Bills have struggled  2016 (after Shaq is cut/traded) will go down as another bad draft year.

[Caught in the Draft]

Not sure if anyone has seen any of the episodes on NFL network....

I love the listening to the analysis from the "experts", especially now since we know how things will play out.  For instance

 

Ron Jaworski said JP Losmen is a better prospect than Phillip Rivers

also was mentioned (don't remember by who)  Alex Smith translates to a better NFL QB than Aaron Rodgers.

Merrill Hoge gave the Packers a low draft grade because they wasted a pick on Aaron Rodgers, said they did not need a QB since they have Favre there.  

 

I love this post draft analysis 10+ years later, puts it all in perspective. 

[Bills still making Bad Contract decisions]

Good teams (Pats) don't make this mistake.

That is correct the Pats do not make bad personal decisions,

 

Sincerely,

Kony Ealy

[Mason Rudolph has tiny hands]

we all know what they say about a guy with big hands............Big Gloves

 

[At the end of the Jags/Pats game lets hope.......]

Lets hope the game is decided on the field by the 2 teams playing and there are no references of the Officials and the Pats getting all the calls-if the Pats win on merit so be it.

[Friendly Reminder For Mock Drafters In Regards To Denver]

I am not so sure about the reference to "the chosen one"  but you would be foolish not to think Chad could be in the mix for the QB position.  Safe bet the current QBs are not in the mix

[Refs for the Championship games are....]

lets hope that regardless of the outcome of the Pats/Jags game we are not talking about the officials afterwards-let the 2 teams decide the outcome............

[Turn NE Games Off]

6:32 left in second quarter Pats going to punt, Pats false start and the refs call pen against Titans-Pats get first down.  Game was 14-7 at the time.  you cant get more obvious than that pre-snap call that something is wrong here.

[Moving on from TT]

based on todays performance by TT I believe it will be easy for the Bills to move on from him, of course we need to find someone 

[Rick Dennison's performance]

knowing the Bills have not completed 1 fade pass for a TD all season we still call for it in a playoff game

 

[patriot film breakdown]

agreed frustrating how well they defended the play    

[patriot film breakdown]

I do enjoy Bill Belichick  breaking down film from each game

[ESPN Insider: EJ Gaines Will Get Paid More Than You Think in 2018]

finding a positive if we lose him  help with comp picks 

[Is the NFL fixed or is it influenced in any way shape or form besides strictly who the better team is]

IMO the greatest example of this was discussed on the 30 for 30 Elway to Marino. In essence it was charged that the raiders were screwed by the league office of making a trade for the 1st pick in the 83 draft.  For some unexplained reason the bears were called by the league office prior to completing a deal with the raiders for the 5th pick (this would have given the raiders the final piece needed to trade with Indy for pick #1.  It was charged by Marvin Demoff and Ron Wolf--if this is fact true...............................keeping in mind that the raiders and Pete Rozelle were feuding at this time.  If you have not seen this 30 for 30 special I suggest watching this.

[A quick look into our team lineup next year imo]

not sure about giving a second round pick for alex smith  if a trade happens give them back the 4th rounder we received for ragland

[[Please Change Title]Zay Jones]

I understand a rookie season does not a career make but Bills moved up in round 2 to pick Zay.    JuJu went late second round and Cooper Kupp early in round 3.

[[Please Change Title]Jerry Hughes]

what has happened to him

[Anyone know what Hughes said?]

personally don't care that he said anything to Ref, would have rather he went and confronted Gronk   But the Bills did nothing to Landry last year so why would anyone think they would have this year

[Eric Lee]

How did we let him get away?..

 

maybe be he would have stood up for Tre White?..

[This team has no pride]

I can't believe nobody retaliated

 

sincerely,

Aaron Williams

[If gronk isn't suspended...]

How did no player on the bills go after him?????

 

[1 play from yesterday that tells you why Dennison can't be here anymore]

 

 

I did not see the game and am assuming your assessment of the play is accurate-and if so my concern is on the QB not calling an audible.  Needless to say with TT limited and Peterman a project its safe to say we need a QB

 

here is to not winning any meaningless games and having a draft pick high enough to get a QB next draft !!!

 

 

 

 

[Whither Preston Brown?]

bad time for him to be on last year of contract   I think he is a UFA after season

[[closed]Rex Defense vs Bills Running Game]

Rex took heat for taking a top 5 defense and making it worse. Could you also then question McD taking the leagues leading rushing team (2 years) and making it less effective?
