If the Bills practiced more in the cold weather, they could maximize the advantage somewhat more. Used to bwe the cold weather environment was a clear buffalo advantage. (except against other cold weather teams ) McD doesn't do much outside, spend the practice time inside installing the weeks plans. Thats ok, but really gotta do both.

I watched Dan play on a black and white TV in the EM club at Fort Polk, LA in 1968. Small screen, the AFL fans, in those days, were closet cases, and the big room color TV's were for the ,then, NFL fans. This was the time of the AFL/NFL bidding wars, and I had a few debates w the guys from Chicago and NY. Anyhow, DD had a tough go that season, I think that was the season that allowed the Bills to draft OJ.

I like this better than the sleep commercial. I use NB myself, and they make killer shoes.

He got his $18mil plus more so I get it. Just didn't want him back.

HE was a 10%+ drop rate receiver. I hope he never sees the field w the Bills again. Not a good signing imho.

Charlie Ferguson if he is still alive. Was a collegue of mine after his Bills career. Played around Ernie Warlick's time, was also a TE.

I wonder what happen when Josh goes for 50 tds?

Parsons was a no show when the Bills ran the ball down the boys throat in their last visit to Buffalo. You can't get sacks if you can force the opposition to throw the ball. That makes me think Parsons is a gross overpay with Parson not great against the run. And the Pack got had. don't know what Dallas got, but they already did the Dak overpay so were not gonna do another. a good on Jer....

I remember the NFL/AFL days. That wasn't good for football, and the merger took care of that. The AFC was formed around the AFL teams mostly. Lots of folks here don't recall that mess. The Bills were in the middle of it. They lost Pete Gogolak (kicker) to the Giants which started the bidding war. The bills went after Mike Ditka, the all pro TE from the Bears, then. It was brutal and teams and money was big for those poached. (not by todays standards, though) I don't have any desire to see another big time league form. But, with all the money out there chasing football, I would not rule it out. Maybe the Saudi's will bankroll a new league, ala the golf situation. That would be interesting to watch. Of course, you could argue that College football has become the alternate pro league. As for Sanders, the young man has a tough road, who knows how it will play out. But, if he can play, he can succeed. (see Kurt Warner)

Bean/McD love their draft choices. (too much)

Must still bel on speed dial on Beans phone.

Its not collusion if 32 teams independently decide they don't want the SS sideshow, with the old man hovering. I for one think that is how this happened. The NFL isn't stupid. But, I also believe somebody did call and tell the Browns to draft this guy. Oh well....

Bishop was the pick over DeJean....McD wanted DeJean......I think this one is at Beans desk.

Yup, an old slow CB can't do the job. I am thinking about..Josh Norman, Vontae Davis.....etc etc. McD likes old and takes slow as the penality.

this is mcD's style. Old slow experienced guys.

Bad situation. Bills can't pay him the full market price. Paying Josh has its consequences. HE may well sit until week 10, and get to free agency. A plausible outcome. The Bills have other backs, and he would not, then, have a fancy set of 25 stats to hit the market with. I, for one, like this rb by committee. Lets do 1/3 each and let the chips fall where they may. Cook demanding more playing time sounds like Diggs, even though he is supposedly of good character. His brother coaching him on this I think, and that means he is likely gone, one way or the other. So be it, we have our QB, and will do what we do with the tools at hand.

Codrington is only only a return man. He is to small for a db job, we saw that last year. Shannult may be a return man and a receiver. Flexibility then. Lets see how it plays out. One or the other makes it unless there is another surprise return guy.

We know this source has it right how?

I learned in industry, a dog in one setting can be a star in another. Perhaps he just needed a fresh start. Maybe the McD culture didn't mesh w his worldview. Such things happen. I wish him well. (not the 'boys, but Elam)

The word is grounded, not cheap.

Well, yes. And, I expect the Bills to negotiate hard and not sign stupid deals that will handcuff them down the road. Let each team and player represent their interests, and let the chips fall where they may.

I have not seen that level of play from him in his games against the Bills. Actually, Beane traded Sammy Watkins........and Cordy Glenn.....perhaps more.

Dec 28 will tell the tale. Gonna be a tough game for both teams that day.

Josh appears on the Manningcast and seemed like friends w the QB Manning bros to me.

Buffalo has seen a lot of bad coaches. McD is not one of those bad ones. He is in the top 10 best in the league, and perhaps the top 5. Bills: NO action required.
