  1. Maybe somebody can figure out how to rework a couple contracts and free up some money. Verner, maybe Pasztor, (TTackle, Cleveland)
  2. Isn 't Verner available? Might be out of our budget
  3. Hopefully it gets solved before the opener. Would hate to see Jones or Peterman poached off the PS
  4. Did you see the Jerry Hughes interview? He talks about how McDermott is installing a defense that fits the personnel,turns them loose,let's them play.Of course there needs to be a "system " but that isn't inherently bad. I think some are worried that he will stubbornly run his ""system" whether it fits the personnel or not. Don't know where those fears come from. As for the CB's,I saw the clip of McDermott :yes,we need Corners, we only have one starter,Darby,who seemed to regress under Ryan. Seymour is unproven, Johnson and Cromertie were signed,but they haven't accomplished much, then there are some no names. What did you think McDonald was talking about? We need corners, plain and simple,because we don't have any.
  5. So far in free agency the Bills have only maintained the status quo at WR. Lost: Woods, Goodwin, Hunter (and Easley). Signed Butler, Brown, Holmes (and Tate).What if Watkins gets hurt again? I think we should draft Williams or Davis (maybe Jones?) EARLY. Not to just COMPLEMENT Sammy, but to replace him if needed.
  6. His career receiving numbers are something lke 65 receptions, 1,000 yds, 15.7 avg 6 TD's. Had a nice year for the Patriots a few years ago.24 catches 20 yd avg. Just a part-time receiver, not sure how i feel about a soon-to-be 30 year old returner
  7. it's nice they have good running backs...but it is not 'working" if we continue to miss the playoffs...7-9 is not " working"
  8. Thought the story was Gay was kept because the kick off rule is 'experimental" andt emporary.. it: might be changed after 4 weeks. I hope he doesn't get activated, wold prefer another D lineman. In case of emergency, I imagine Groy could move out there.
  9. Rumors of Titans interested in doing something THIS year..but they have way more cap money AND the second overall pick. the Bills would have to cut ,whom, to fit Rivers under the cap? Mario?Clay, Kyle, Dareus and Gilmore? It would defeat the purpose
  10. The curse of St John Fisher! I live in Rochester and will definitely be at camp again this year.
  11. I hope for a QB that has starting experience, relatively young, with upside. Versatile,durable. if the Bills can retain most , or all of their current roster, adding a top QB would be significant, maybe huge, step forward.
  12. Brady's new deal doesnt save them any cap money. It's real complicated, but it doesn't make more cap money available.
  13. Smith is a free agent, won't be trading him
  14. With Ryan, and supposedly Roman coming to Buffalo, would you be surprised if the Bills at least look at QB Sanchez,G Colon,RB Powell,WR Crabtree,G iaputi, QB Gabbert?
  15. What difference does it matter how much money Pegula has? Everytime I read how much better the roster will look, that Pegulas will spend money on players, etc. I have to wonder if so many people still dont understand that...There's salary cap,(andyes,the salary "floor" kicked in a couple years ago).It's not a matter of how much Pegula has,it's how well his FO spends it.
  16. I dont want a GM with good "hind sight". I want a GM (and FO) with good "fore sight" ;the ability to project/forecast a player's production and value. THAT seperates the best from the mediocre.Anybody can look back and say" we coud have had (XXXXX) with that pick;look how good he turned out"...etc. I am OK with Whaley being THE man for a year so we can fairly evaluate him. if we fix the HC,OC, QB and O Line, keep D intact,sign oun valuable FA's..I will be happy.
  17. I didnt realize he had just a one year deal....interesting. I would love Schwartz to stayw here he is as DC.
  18. Bills brought in TWO more offensive assistants this year:including QB Coach Todd Downing.
  19. it was NOT QUITE the same O line as last year...Glenn and Wood returned at LT and C,respectively,but there was a revolving door at LG,RG and RT. 4 new guys (Williams and the 3 rookies),. Marrone should have left Pears and Urbik on the right side and concentrated on fixing LG No continuity to speak of.
  20. It;s good for the Pegulas to make connections,perhaps for future needs..but,at what point might candidates feel exploited and think the interview is a waste of time?Or that Pegs is just picking their brains?Might it look like Pegula (and Whaley?) have NO plan and just hope to get lucky? I am not worried..though, there arent that many openings in the NFL (yet?) and there are plenty of good candidates for the Bills to look at. No hurry. And,it's obvious they arent interested in a college guy?
  21. and if, for some strange reason,the Bills hire Rex!? THAT ame soudl be on prme time
  22. Some lesser pickups were helpful ;P Scmidht, TE Gray, S Rambo, KR Thigpen. I would like to see Whaley work for at least one year.lead the transition..maintain some continuity, work his plan. With Brandon,Marrone,Nix, Littman,Overdorf,et.al out of his hair. Put the onus on Whaley so there are no questions about who made what moves.He has been adding pieces, and yes,swung and missed a coople times. (WR M.Williams,G Williams, LB Rivers etc). Now that we have Pegulas's money (assuming he will spend it, let Whaley go to work and get the Bills the best HC,a QB,and fix the O line. I dont think there is much left to do to ge this team into the playoffs. Keep Schwarz and the defensive coaches. Plus, we get Alonzo and Mckelvin back. Let Whaley,without distraction,disfunction and interfernece,run the show and see what happens. He might surprise us.
  23. At least SOME of you undersrand the salary cap! Thanks for taking the time to do a little research
  24. Insulting suggestion....go ask Kyle williams if he would like to "tank" the season....
  25. Pegula at least has the resources and hopefully the willingness,to pay fior a quality coach. Gruden probably makes as much on TV as Marrone made for the Bills
