Your ONLY mistake is that you did not notice that the OP is a refugee too. TBD has to suffer through the blight carried over from OBD.

To promote hysteria OR to dazzel us lowly board dwellers with his immence NFL DRAFT SKILLS. It is truely amazing how many MELTDOWNS have been publically displayed on this board and it is just hours into the Free Agency.

JFC - and I thought this was a football team. I thought they made money by putting a product on the field and selling tickets to see that product (team) compete at a game. SILLY ME So the whole point of football is to SAVE MONEY and collect draft picks. REALLY? I think MADDEN has made experts out of basement dwellers. Perhaps the NFL should have "walk on" tryouts for General Managers. I am going to go out on a limb here and speculate that the makority of fans spend their money to WATCH A FOOTBALL GAME. IF that is the case, the number one priority is FIELDING A TEAM. The Bills need to build a team to win FOOTBALL GAMES not lose players to win the OFF SEASON. FCOL

Nice one!!! Ha Ha Ha

47 hours into the free agency and the SKY IS FALLING - oh my. This is nothing if not entertaining.

TRADES - don't forget about trades! Whaley is a master Trade maker.

Meanie, you know better than that. You wittnessed the whinny little girls always crying about something back at BBMB. Well, here they are.

FCOL, this whimpering is just plain pitiful. Just wait for the dust to settle a little, Whaley bashers. Whaley is at his BEST in TRADES. Get control of yourselves and give it at least a few DAYS. HA HA HA

This whimpering is just plain pitiful. FCOL For all of the whimpering Whaley bashers, this is where Whaley is at his best, TRADES. Give it a little time, LADIES.

OMG - It is just NOW that the Pats shifted into "Win Now"? You mean all these years they didn't really care - come on... Sometimes the REACH to slam Whaley is comical.

Regardless of what it means for success in the NFL, what about success at New Era Field with it's swirling winds? The Bills need QBs that can overcome that WIND. Flutterballs just won't cut it.

This is absolutely true and very well written. This is what I have been referring to as "Luxury Picks". When your boat is full of holes and is sinking, you desparately need to plug holes and don't have the LUXURY of creative stratagies. Thus Belicheats smoke and mirrors. Some of these acquisitions I suspect, he might not even keep on the team.

This crossed my mind as well. Why else is Belicheat acting so un-Belicheat? BTW - I am not sad that Gilmore is gone. He obviously wanted to move on so he would no longer have given us his best. Personally, I felt he drew far more penalties than an "elite" player should - but that is just me. I too feel concern for OUR current lack FA pick ups so far BUT then I thought about McCoy and Clay, etc. Whaley is good at TRADES maybe there are some incredible surprises in our immediate future... Anyway, I am behind Coach McD and a belief that he is NOT trying to ruin his chance at being a HC in the NFL. I think THEY have a plan.

I actually had to go back and check the time stamp on your post. Just in case it was from last year or something. As I write this reply the FA is just under 24 HOURS old and you are this down?? OH MY!!

Sammy was playing injured a lot last year. This had to have effected the routes and plays called in an effort to not injure him more. Thus the sideline throws to avoid tackles. I hate to say this, but, Sammy NEEDS TT. Right now, the spotlight is on TAYLOR and Sammy being a victim of a "Run First Team". This kind of gives Sammy a pass on being/playing injured a lot. The jury is still out on Sammy's ability to GET & STAY HEALTHY.

GIVE ME A BREAK - The only constant for this franchise over the last 20 years is the FANS. (I don't want to hear the lame old Brandon crap) This 20 year **** is OUR PROBLEM! This BILLS franchise is virtually two years old. At least give them time to build up their own bad rep. It is just not fair to nail the failings of RW on them.

Forget a discount, he stopped even trying last season. I think Gilmore had his moments, but I never thought he was great. When ever he made play, I found myself holding my breath waiting for a flag. We'll see if he starts to "phone it in" for Belicheat as well. JMO

Wow it must take an enormous amount of effort to keep that fantasy bubble from hitting the ground and popping.

Taylor injured - hernia. Meaningless game. Why on earth would you play your injured starter? This is what gets me about the whole "Benched" scenario.

I am someone who is hoping that TT is the Bills QB in 2017. With that said, I think that TT moving from his apt just makes him very MOBILE. Now he is ready to run, if the situation calls for it. (so to speak)

I was frustrated with TTs play last season BUT can't help but feel that those frustrations were better directed to the coaching rather than the player. For instance, TT not throwing the ball away to avoid a sack. I said many times last seson, "How on earth does a QB get to the NFL and not know to throw the ball out of bounds to avoid a sack? Somehow, it is easier to believe that "tho MUST NOT turn over the ball" was the FIRST COMMANDMENT. Also, regarding coaching, gadget plays and trickery seem to be plays called by coaches that don't have confidence in their team. "I don't think we can punch this ball over the goal line, so maybe we can give the ball to the player who would be least expected to get the ball in this circumstance". How much of TTs play simply reflected an insecure coaching staff? I think that same kind of insecurity cause ATL to lose the SB - IMHO. I am VERY curious what a new coaching staff can do with TT and I hope to see what Team McD can do.

Because, GOD KNOWS, the Bills needed MORE coaches last year. Thats it! We did not have enough coaches...

from the Buffalo New Link mentioned above... "The Buffalo News contacted the Bills for a response, and the team issued the following statement from a spokesman: "Steve Christie is a valuable member of our alumni community and we appreciate all that he has done for this organization. He is the Bills' all-time leading scorer and the top field-goal kicker in team history. We appreciated his offer to assist Dan and that was communicated to him. But we all just felt it was in the best interests to have Dan continue his working relationship with the coaches."

Carpenter was not the complete package anyway. He was only good at extra points and field goals. The Bills had to carry aan extra kicker on the team for kick offs. MAYBE that situation was justified when Carpenter was "GOLD", but that product has tarnished and they can save $$$$$ by finding ONE guy to get the job done. Why on earth would you want to prolong this dog and pony show? There is enough real reasons to find fault with Whaley without feigning outrage at ridiculous things.

You seem to not define struggling but prefer naming "struggling teams. Win loss has little to do with your definition BUT lack of franchise QB seems to be the defining factor. So Struggling = no franchise QB Therefore teams with no franchise QB must draft QBs. There are those who believe a good/great nfl team requires 11 men on the field per side and they all need to play fairly to WIN. Then there are those who believe it takes only one guy, the others are not so important. I think it takes a team.
