  1. I'm with you on this. I think it's ridiculous. After a blockbuster contract, he had a lackluster year. The story is he is coming back pissed and focused on football now with all the personal baggage taken care of and in the rear view. Then on day one of training camp, he's sitting out. That's garbage and not leadership. My one concern is that his rookie year he had significant problems with foot injuries.
  2. There is no silver lining. We just cut a guy who was supposed to be productive. I only read the first page but everyone seemed to be viewing the world through rose colored glasses. This sucks. Plus, Hairston on top of it. This is a blow.
  3. It seems wierd to me that he would talk this candidly. Fishy.
  4. Did anyone watch the game against the Bills? Did you see Kolb's performance in that game? If I were an Arizona fan or player, if that performance was at all typical of his yearly performance I'd be badmouthing him too. He was horrible. Now, was it his fault? I don't know. His O-line was horrendous and their was massive pressure etc. But it's not exactly like he was doing much to help it out. He looked like he sucked. We just have to hope that he is better suited to our system and our players and maybe he was banged up mentally and physically last year and those things were the reasons for his very poor performance. We also have to hope that EJ emerges early and can at least get enough of the team's confidence in him that they are content to rally behind him, especially the veterans. These are my hopes anyway.
  5. Are you guy serious? Yes a pattern is forming. There is one consistent thread in all of these stories. He is showing some tenacity and anger. I mean the defense is saying "Kill 'em". He's making fun of players on rival teams and posting pictures of him shooting guns in his off time. He's suing ex-fiancés in a pissed off way. I don't know about you guys but I like the new Mario. This is what I want to see out of my defensive players. Pissed off dudes who want to take it out on somebody. I'm not sure what the hell most of you are thinking.
  6. I was on the Geno Smith train for sure. I do not like what I saw from him post draft so I've got to eat some crow. At the same time I don't think he could have ended up in a worse situation. He is on a team that cannot develop a QB for their lives. Their offense is horrendous. The media in NY is going to scutinize every move the kid makes. He has the worst chance to succeed there. I don't think he is going to get a fair shake there. Sometimes that's how it goes. Some players just end up in bad situations who could have been great players in the NFL and end up being failures. That's just how the cookie crumbles sometimes.
  7. My take: Pay the man. If the only issue is money, then pay the man. If the problem is he thinks Buffalo is a loser franchise and he wants out of here, then there is not much we can do about it. The only option then would be to be be extremely hard bargainers and hold strong on the franchise tag no matter what even if he sits. Franchise him again next year to send a message to future free agents that you will not weasel your way out of Buffalo. You will be hurting yourself and your career if you try this bullsh*t. Pay the man if it's the money. After all, we've got cap space. He's a very good player who has no character issues and is very young. Unless there is something in the mix we don't know about here like injuries like Levitre's knee or something.
  8. I agree. 5 Hydocodone; please. That's nothing close to a suicidal dose. People who take those as a prescription take way more than that in a day sometimes who weigh less than Mario. He may have been saying "fade away" as in "get a buzz" hahaha.
  9. I guess that's the level of evil she is able to live with in herself. Make off with a little over a million, don't totally screw his life up hopefully and start a new life. If she's not after it, then give the ring back.
  10. I know some of this is being discussed in another thread. However that thread was started a long time ago before these texts were revealed. This is deserving of its own thread as it is gaining national attention big time (#2 headline on ESPN and is big on every other sports network right now). I think it's pretty pathetic to be honest this does not have its own thread. It's almost like we are scared to fully acknowledge it as Bills fans or something. I feel bad for the guy. His rep is being screwed over and his money is being taken from him. This chick is probably a witch and is getting the best of him. However, in the end, as usual, it is the guy who will come out looking like an idiot. I feel for him but we have to move on to how this will affect the Bills. How do you think it will? It's has to hurt his locker room presence. The only guy who can now take more of a bashing than him this season is Manti Teo. Just move on from this chick Mario! Take it out on the field! Get over this ho! Buffalo News Article
  11. I thought people might want more options and I thought about putting them but you can't pick both or take a "wait and see" approach or "cautiously optimistic". What fun is that? If I put those everybody would pick the safe ones. I want some real answers. Man up and make a prediction.
  12. It seems the optimisim on the board has skyrocketed with the new regime and now a new QB. Has Russ Brandon worked his marketing magic again or are we justly optimistic? I mean I must admit I'm hopeful, but ESPN has us at 30 in the power rankings. A lot of people are saying Manuel was a major stretch as a first rounder and it took fans a lot of convincing themselves to like the Marrone hire. Are we just wanting to believe the BS again and are just as gullible as they come?
  13. Kiper blasted our draft; bastard. Fans seem more excited than ever about this draft and that includes me. I'm thrilled with the Manuel pick. Anyway, take the poll if you want.
  14. From the brief reports I have read, he seems to be a pretty good player who hasn't any significant off field issues. He's 28 or so and a beast. Why was he still on the market and also, why only sign him to a 1 year deal?
  15. I would be thrilled with this pick up. However, if we transition to t 3-4 with him at nose mainly, then Mario is no longer playing his true position. I still want him though.
  16. Great, now we can just draft 2 QBs. Geno Smith, Ryan Nassib.
  17. Wow, at least they're trying at QB. Kolb was a hit commodity not too long ago. The man must have been concussed a million times last year with that Arizona O-Line. Who knows if he has all his faculties still. I like that we're trying at QB though.
  18. Oh so Saban is now blamed for all the regimes since him in the mid 2000's. Well then, I blame Wade Phillips and Mike Mularkey for the current Bills ineptitude.
  19. Yeah, and that's exactly why Nick Saban failed at Miami. He screwed up his QB pick. I think he might have admitted this publicly. However, I still like how he operated. He knew that you have to immediately address the QB position or you're going to be a failure. He didn't say, "oh I hope one falls to me next year." Get some balls and get a QB at all costs. There are good ones in this draft if they have their talents maximized and are developed well in a system. I'm hoping Marrone can provide this. Get one.
  20. What's your plan for QB? Start TJax? A failure already at 2 organizations. Draft one and hope he works out? Then when he likely doesn't draft another in 3 years? Yep open it up for competition. Pick 1.
  21. I'm not operating from a place of "start winning when the opportunity presents itself". I'm operating from a "win now" place. Do u remember when Sean Patron took the job at New Orleans? What was his 1st move? Lock up Drew Brees at all costs. What were all these other inept organizations doing when Brees was on the market? The Bills were one of them. Go all out on QB. Period.
