No !@#$ing way!

Nice post! Thought I'd add the optimistic. Optimistic * Bills roster is actually pretty talented and has been poorly coached....technique, discipline etc. especially on defense * TT takes a step forward * The staff and admin come from wining organizations and don't tolerate lack of production * We have a relatively healthy season and Watkins has a big breakout season.

Man was Cookie Gilchrist a stud or what!!!!

I thought about the hitting it with a lot of velocity as he obviously does. Ala Stanton, Sano .I'm skeptical he will maintain his Babip of .432..... even over .400. Didn't do it in the minors. Last season in 95 PA he hit .282. His Babip at AAA in 700 PA was around .300 ...pretty normal. This is a sample size issue. It takes 700-800 balls in play for babip to stabilize, meaning just to get to half luck-half skill. If I'm betting he comes down ALOT at some point. He also has hit homeruns on 45.9% of his flyballs this year. That is pretty darn high. I believe Ryan Howard had the only other season over 40%. Next closest is mid thirties. Great start everyone. He hits prodigious homeruns, has hit line drives that are rockets, and as a Yankees fan I'm excited. However, he WILL regress. A babip of .432 and 46% HR/FB is likely unsustainable. If it happens I'll be happy to be wrong. If I'm betting I'm guessing there is a substantial regression coming.

http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playerid=15640&position=OF As you can see in the profile above the scouts believed in the power 70 grade. His numbers coming in certainly didn't forecast what he is doing now. He has a .422 Babip which is impossible to maintain. So I would say he looks great, the scouts thought he had the raw power, he is overachieving and still will go through the inevitable adjustment. The opponents and pitchers will come at him a different way at some point and the balls in play will drop in less. Not hard to be impressed so far though.

I've thought that before as well. Everything works better with the greatest QB of all time. Belichick was nothing special until he was gifted a QB in the 6th round.

The most depressing article I've read about the Bills in awhile.

He is the worst poster on here...bar none!

I agree with this even though its not an option. Of course we don't know the specifics of the contracts, but Maclin at 7M.....I'm not up with that. Plus I like the 2TE matchup with Barnidge. No to Decker.

No kidding~ Is dealing with reality that hard for some...what a joke!

My question??? Is Bob Woods good enough to be the number 2 receiving option on a championship team? I say No...but I haven't researched it either!

It's a shame we have many talented posters on here and then some who are bull ****

No word yet? Jeez finish desert and get it over with soon!!!

Yawn. .......Strawman

I think this is an excellent point made by Yolo! I also feel like we need some competition for Sammy. As a matter of fact, I want all our receivers competing for targets. I don't know that I've seen that kind of effort on the field.

Do you know Jeff is Magic?

4 wins Bobby. I'll take the over! Happy 25th Biscuit!

Vegas says 6.5, you say 4.5. I'll take the over on both. If I'm wrong I'll come on here and say so and say the Major is my Daddy.

Agreed on Maclin. I just think our passing game will be much better this year. Agree on the depth. Part of my optimisim is of course a healthy Sammy, but this kid Zay Jones is gonna be a threat....he's a player.

Sammy Watkins Likely another second round pick Zay Jones Very soon Jeremy Maclin

The DBs look worse now.. but you don't know for sure. I think the LBs are better, no way in this scheme with Hodges/Ragland and not Zach they aren't RB ....I'm not willing to say worse. McCoy could play every game and be the rushing champ. Will it matter that much about the backups, it will work out fine. OL... Better by a mile QBs... better, Taylor got better as the year went on and we have some depth now. I don't think we have seen the best of TT. No David Lee helps too. WR....Major has got to be joking, no further comment.. especially if we get Maclin DL... I call a wash ...Shaq full year... guys a year older

Not trying to be a dick he's my favorite player. I just wasn't sure by looking at the picture. Thanks I believe it.

Are you sure that's him?

I would be all over this signing! I have been saying all along we could be really dangerous on offense next year...this just solidifies it.

Yep that's a good call, some Bills fans have such a victim mentality it's pathetic! New start coming up
