And if they did, the Bills would say "thank you very much" and drop $66m of the Salary Cap.
Exactly.
-
You don't put Dareus on the list because he is basically on the list for free. Nobody is taking that contract on.
-
Saying he wasn't the reason we missed the playoffs does not mean a love affair. Troll
There is plenty of trolling in this thread not coming from Ryan.

I honestly don't even care if we make the playoffs ... unless we are a real contender. I surely won't be squirting any tears for making the playoffs. A superbowl win yes but playoffs are something I expect not something to cry about.
When they make the playoffs I will simply say took ya !@#$ing long enough losers
I am sure if I had supported them through the 90s I'd feel the same and after one year of a 1 and done playoff effort (like Miami last year) I'd feel the same too.... but having never seen them play a playoff game yes making it that first time would mean something to be me even if we were fodder.
I don't want the team to plan on that basis, I would rather they take a long term approach to build a sustainable winner, I am just telling you how I feel.

I am pretty certain our run game will take a smallish step back in 2017. I think we will still be top 10 but I don't expect it to be dominant as it has been. That will throw more focus on the passing game.
-
And another one bites the dust.... hope the Mods are on overtime
-
And if QB was driving him why did he choose Geno last time?
It isn't even worth getting to that... because he is yet to show that Tyrod was an option.
As strange as it may seem you and I are actually in agreement on some things that many others aren't. As an example I believe that Whaley did a pretty good job. I don't think that the talent has been the issue over the last couple of years. That's not a popular opinion but one that I think we agree on.
And one I agree on too.

When did you all come up with fantasy?
Around the same time as you came up with the "Decker chose Mariota over Tyrod" fantasy. No don't get me wrong, I would choose Mariota over Tyrod.... but Decker never had that choice because Buffalo were never in on him.
-
who is the DC? Did they change defenses? Since Bradley is gone I didn't follow what they did there at DC
Promoted the defensive line coach. The Jags D on paper should be very good.... just not sure it has ever quite translated on the field. They were better last year but they need help up front for me... they don't get to the Quarterback enough.
Could be a competitive division. I can make a case for any of them being playoff teams but the only one I can see going on is the Texans if the D plays up to its potential and Watson is good.
-
Yeah, it's between them and the Texans. The colts and jags will be fighting for 3rd place in that division.
I'd give the edge to Tennessee due to them having the upper hand in the qb category.
For me it depends on two things:
1) How quickly does Deshaun Watson become the Texans starter?
2) How does that defense look without big Romeo calling it?
If the answers are: early and doesn't miss a beat it is the Texans again. If they are rolling with Savage or the D steps back it is Tenn's division.

My dad got into the NFL when it was big in the UK the first time around..... the 80s. He remembers the Bills Superbowl teams and even rooted against them once.... he is a Redskins fan.
By the time I got into the NFL his interest had kind of waned... but since he retired a few years ago his interest has returned somewhat. His wife on the other hand was not all that pleased when I informed her last Christmas Eve that we would need to be back from the traditional pub trip by 6pm because the Bills were playing

Maybe a low end 2. He's caught 4 TDs in 2 years. They've thrown at least 40. He isn't explosive and teams don't need to prepare for him. He's a piece but a piece that can be easily upgraded if someone is given the same opportunity. He's not bringing anything that Holmes and company aren't bringing besides blocking. If Jones doesn't catch 60 balls this year it will be disappointing (if healthy). I'd bet anything he catches 4+ TDs. He just has more tools than Woods.
I don't disagree.... as you well know I always thought Hogan was as good as Woods if not better (not trying to re-open out Hogan debate btw). I just think when you look around the league how many teams have a #2 that teams are legitimately designing defensive game plans around? I'd think a third of the league might be pushing it....
-
Quick had 41 for 563 and 3 TDs vs. Woods 51 for 613 and 1 TD. They aren't terribly different. The bottom line is that Woods isn't a number 2. I know that may come across as blasphemous but he's not. He's a decent possession guy but no better than the guys we have. If Zay Jones isn't an upgrade this year, we should be disappointed.
I think Woods is a low end 2. Not a 2 is a tad unfair on him I think. I do think Zay's ceiling is higher for what it's worth.
-
There's nothing indicating we didn't.
Bottom line is that we don't know for sure if they did or not.
I'm sure they put out feelers. Due diligence.
The lack of ANY reports, even from Twitter ITKs let alone reputable sources, indicates we didn't. I'm 99% sure they had zero interest in Decker.
-
If you can't prove a negative, then don't state it as if you can.
No the burden in this situation is on you to prove your assertion that the Bills made an offer for Decker and he chose to go and play with a better Quarterback. There is absolutely no evidence that backs up that statement.
EDIT: And anyone paying attention to my posts this offseason knows I am certainly not trying to "prop up" Tyrod Taylor. I just think let's have this debate on the facts. There is absolutely nothing indicating that the Bills made an offer for Decker.
-
Citation needed. Or is this like the "Maclin's wife made the decision," story telling?
I'm sorry but how are we supposed to cite something that was never a story? The Bills didn't have Decker in for a visit and there were no reports of them making an offer or even holding an interest. That is the citation. Otherwise you are asking us to prove a negative.
For what it is worth I agree that Quarterback was likely a factor in Maclin's decision. It wasn't a factor in Decker's cos the Bills were never in on Decker. I think they are happy to stand pat with their WR options... they just thought Maclin was too good not to try for.
-
There's about a 50% chance that he's "Frank Pro".
I think he is because looking at that he seems to have been a Geno fan and I think I remember enlightner being a Geno guy..... (might be misremembering but I think he was)
-
Most likely Sammy will be gone. If so I hope he goes too the Packers. And achieves his potential.
Sammy in that Pack offense...... wowzers.

£140 for the International Game Pass. Best £140 I spend every year. Every game live (except those being shown live on UK tv) all the Football Life archives, Undrafted, Hard Knocks, full access to NFL Network all year round..... absolute bargain.
I do feel your annual "negotiation" game pain though. I have to do it every year with SKY Sports (which shows some NFL but also shows all the soccer). You have to say you want to cancel, get a cancellation date, wait for the retention team to ring you back and offer you a deal £15 a month better than the one you are on..... they know you aren't really going to quit, you know you aren't really going to quit... it is a total charade, but their business model relies on a certain % of people just seeing their bill go up year by year by year and doing nothing about it.
-
Oh Lord.... here we go again. It's like that game at the fairground.... bash one thread containing a circular Tyrod argument on the head and another one pops up just as quickly.
-
Haven't we had about 7 or 8 2006 first rounders on our team at one time or another?
- Whitner
- Mario
- Young
- Bush
- Leinart
- Lawson
Sure I am missing one....EDIT: McCargo.... of course..... I have tried very hard to blank him from my memory.
-
I can't disagree with number 1. That was a great feeling. I'd have the sack safety of Rodgers at #2.
-
...so then why does he end up as Ravens' TE Coach and Assistant HC?......
He is basically in charge of the run game and he will, no doubt, improve it.
One big, dirty, stat.

One interpretation of those numbers is that the defense was responsible for many of our wins.
But then that is true... some of Tyrod's worst games on tape last year were games we won. Cincy, Arizona, LA....
And don't get me wrong, I think the defense was mainly awful the last 2 years. I just am still struggling to come up with wins where I go "Tyrod was the main reason we won." He has had some of his best games in "nearly" performances.
