I promise you, this morning it was a Bills logo. My computer is haunted.
Has been showing as a Bills logo all day to me.
-
Eric Wood or Kyle Williams.
Preston Brown wouldn't be a big surprise.
Wood or Williams would be SHOCK cuts. Like Freddie Jackson shock. I think Preston would be a surprise in the same way Manny Lawson was last year... but he wouldn't shock me.
-
Once again, John Miller and Vlad Ducasse are splitting reps with the first-team at right guard #Bills
If Vlad starts I am going to sour on this staff very, very quickly.
-
To all of you that have watched him before - how are his downfield blocking skills? I would imagine he'd be at least OK there since he has good ST skills and rep.
I hope we don't miss any of that with Woods being gone. Woods was a baller in the run game and in downfield blocking on pass plays.
He is a good blocker. He isn't quite Robert Woods but he is willing and reasonably able.
-
Miller is a good starting guard. He's not great but he's a solid starter. Ducasse doesn't belong on an NFL roster. This isn't a competition and if they think it is I question their judgement.
Hear, hear.

Isn't that Theresa May?
Prize to Kirby.
She was wrong of course.... what has changed is that a bunch of Northern Irish whackos are now running Government. Good times.
-
No problem. I find that I have to clarify quite a lot of what I say.
"Nothing's changed. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. This is a clarification. We were always having a cap."
Probably a joke only Blokes will get.....
-
I've thought about Washington playing as a "Heavy End" since the coaching change. Worthy might be a little more agile though.
Long term, I think they'd need a better pass rusher off the edge than this option but it could be an option.
Yea it is a 2017 fix not a long term going forward solution.
-
I wonder; if either is on the bubble, does the staff ask them to shed 20 lbs and play end at ~280?
IIRC this is how Lorax went from DT to DE to LB, so there's an example of success on the roster with them.
Washington might be an option to move outside. He has some pass rush ability but I don't know if I ever expect him to be a dominant interior penetrator in this league.
-
Jonathan Williams. Can absolutely see Adolphus Washington as well.
-
I thought Tyler Boyd was disappointing but no way are they trading him away after 1 year.
-
Ah, you only got on board in 2001? Well, that makes total sense to me.
I've been a fan long enough to have cheered for them to lose the last game of the year so they'd get the first pick and be able to draft O.J. Simpson.
I saw the four SBs. Making the playoffs as a fodder team would do nothing to me. But if I were in your shoes, I'd probably feel the way you do.
But I'm right with you that they have so often valued the short term with or even over the long term. Which is why I absolutely loved seeing them pick up that 2018 first round pick this draft. Long term thinking. I love it.
I meant 2002 as well... 2001 was a typo.... but the point stands. It is not quite 17 years for me.... it's 15. Still at this stage us making the playoffs would bring me to tears.
-
I tend to agree that Maclin was seen as more of a Sammy "insurance policy" -- which also explains why they wouldn't break the bank for him. I will be extremely surprised if the Bills make a hard run at Decker.
Yea agreed, because Mac is a game breaker who has shown he can operate as a #1 (last year in Philly and 1st in KC and 1,000 yrds plus both times). So you were getting a top end #2 and a Sammy insurance policy if you needed him to step up. Decker is JUST a #2. I'd be surprised if the Bills are interested unless it is a rock bottom price.
-
Apparently he has a giant manhood to go along with it,according to his wife who gushed over it on Twitter
Classy.
-
who did you say that to?
I said to myself, yesterday, that I bet nobody realises I said this tomorrow.
-
I'd still rather try to ship a pick to Philly for Jordan Matthews.
I think they'd be willing to deal him, and I'm especially convinced of it given their pursuit of Maclin.
Yes. I'd ship a 6th to the Eagles for Matthews. Not sure there is a player for player trade that makes obvious sense but happy for others to suggest....
-
In order to compliment TT, WRs must be able to get open downfield. That's not Decker. In my opinion he's an average WR who put up stellar numbers with Manning.
I agree he isn't a fit here and I also think he is absolutely a #2. The first year he went to New York he was asked to be the #1 and failed.... it was only when Marshall turned up to be the #1 he flourished. A slightly better than average receiver and in the circumstances I have absolutely no interest whatsoever.
-
Maclin's new wife is from the Baltimore area. That probably had more to do with it than anyone thinks. The $$ was probably there from both teams, then it comes down to personal variables.
No criticism of the team for not getting him. The Brown soft soap job yesterday morning was the usual vomit inducer though. I hoped our new PR guy might have put an end to that.
-
Fair enough that you would settle for that. Everyone's got a different opinion on that.
I would settle for it for 1 year. I have supported this team since 2001 and never seen us make the playoffs. But I don't think the team should be planning on the basis of getting in as a fodder team..... and they have tried that too often in my opinion.... neglecting the long term for the short term and it hasn't delivered.
-
I would be surprised if he doesn't end up in Tennessee. They really need a vet WR (starters are currently Rishard Lewis and Corey Davis), have a ton of cap space, and his country singer wife would likely be very happy in Nashville.
I think you mean Rashard Matthews not Lewis.....
-
Ever notice how short the tenure is of ex-Bills on the Pats roster?
might have been the case in the past.... but that is because in the past we didn't have talent and picking guys up from us was pointless. Donald Jones and Scott Chandler were never going to be long term Pats.
What is different now is the Bills have talent.... and the Pats are plucking genuinely good players from us. Hogan and Gillislee are talented role players and Gilmore is a legit #1 corner. All 3 will have reasonably successful Pats careers.... Hogan already has a ring.
-
I'd still try for Barnidge of he will take a 2 year $2m a year type deal. I have zero interest in Decker.
-
As I recall, Henry didn't get much playing time with Yeldon. He shared time with Eddie Lacy.
Yeldon is a big, strong runner with some speed. He can also catch as well as block. I haven't kept close track but I suspect that his pro career has been hampered by injuries.
If this kid is healthy, the Bills would be well advised to grab him for a reasonable cost.
He had a reasonable rookie year, a very bad 2nd year... but he has been running behind one of if not the worst line in the league. Not sure I'd trade anything for him (other than maybe a player on the bubble for us in a position where we have better depth - Patrick Lewis maybe?) but if he becomes a FA we should definitely have a look.
-
Once Brown started the manage expectations job yesterday morning this was inevitable. I think it is a shame. He is a very, very good player.
Who is your surprise cut?

And to release some more star players who just don't go "all in".
