  1. Would you trade Odell Beckham Jr. AND a 1st round pick for Sammy Watkins? Doug Whaley did. How is that for a new poll question?
  2. 25 pounds! Don't overpay!
  3. This reminds of innumerable QB's of the past who looked All-Pro in workouts, but failed in games. I remember rave reviews about Todd Collins in workouts. It is meaningless unless it's in a real game.
  4. How many ways can you say, "NO!" How many ways can you say WTF?
  5. Best moves are when you can add assets at a reasonable cost. A basic cost/benefit analysis to assess the ratio of potential benefit to actual cost. As such, adding Matt Cassel provides the potential for the most benefit for a low cost. Adding free agents for a modest cost would rank second. Felton and Harvin fall into this category. I'm dubious of Incognito to be sure. Keeping your own valuable free agents would come next, i.e. Jerry Hughes. The worst moves are the reverse when you risk too much for the expected benefit. It is hard to say which moves fit into this category. Losing Spiller for nothing might have been a mistake long term. Trading away a young potential All-Pro linebacker might be a mistake long term too. Hiring a loser head coach from the Jets (4-12 last year) was another big risk. We don't know yet how these moves will pan out. The trade for McCoy and the signing of TE Clay both were high risk because the cost was so high for them. They may turn out to be excellent moves, but that remains to be seen. The Bills are obviously frustrated by the last 15 years of futility and failure, so it is refreshing to a lot of fans to see them making bold risky moves to turn the franchise around. Time will tell. What is for sure is that the Bills probably have sold more tickets for per victory than any team in the league this century.
  6. Correct. The NFL is an organization run by millionaires for the benefit of billionaires (owners). The NFL calls all the shots and DirecTV can do nothing about it!
  7. LeSean McCoy was not a free agent. Free agency winners?
  8. Breaking news: The Bills overpay again! The TE Clay contract is just plain ridiculous. He is being paid like a HOF candidate. I would suggest this money would have been better spent on the interior of the offensive line. The Bills (i.e. Whaley) seem enamored with the shiny toys like Watkins,Clay and McCoy more than any other areas. Running backs are easy to find, but top lineman are at a premium. I would prefer an average talent RB behind an elite offensive line before I would choose a top RB behind a mediocre line. Whaley has made a string of questionable decisions since drafting EJ Manuel to trading up for Watkins to signing Clay among others, but the fans seem to love him nonetheless!!!
  9. Exactly. When I saw the headline I thought the Bills had signed Aaron Rodgers. How could any defense stop an EJ Manuel offense? LMAO!
  10. This is another interesting move by Doug Whaley. He is paying really huge dollars for a TE who hasn't really proven he is an elite player. In addition, the player is often injured. Doug Whaley must believe he is in the class of Gronkowski and Graham? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense.
  11. Are you feeling OK? This prediction is ridiculous!
  12. Just think of the outrage if Jerry Sullivan provided the misinformation that is commonplace here?
  13. The AFC East is adding talent. So far the Jets are kicking ass. They could improve by 4 wins or more next year now that they have strengthened their roster and fired Rex.
  14. Because he stinks!
  15. They Jets can keep Revis, the Dolphins can keep Suh, the Bills signed Felton!!! Enough said.
  16. I hope they don't fall into the Kaepernick trap. SF wants to unload him in the worst way because they know he is seriously flawed as a passer. Mike Iupati would be the guy to spend money on from SF. Please no Jay Cutler or Kaepernick!!!
  17. Where are all the rumors about the Bills strengthening the offensive line?
  18. How do you know the cap space is going up? Are you reporting this as a fact or just speculating?
  19. Iupati won't come to Buffalo.
  20. Their best move was firing Rex Ryan and hiring Todd Bowles!
  21. It's a little late, but I wouldn't have traded two 1st round picks for Sammy Watkins. I can't fix Whaleys' blunder!
