That's No Moon

Schick

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Nothing is signed yet.

Ferguson, Kofler, Dufek, Ferragamo, Mathison, Reich. Those are the six. Hertz?

Ryan Fitzpatrick to Terrell Owens, 98 yards in Jacksonville. Andre Reed 83 yards. <edit> I'm wrong, I looked it up but won't spoil. Without looking, name the 6 QBs who attempted a pass for the Bills during the illustrious 1984 and 1985 seasons.

Bills should have never cleared him medically last year. That was wishful thinking at best and they're lucky he's walking.

I watched McDermott first hand with the Eagles when he took a really talented defense and couldn't do a thing with it. He was an absolute disaster. I'm not yet ready to anoint his player improvement skills to the point where we can comfortably sign any old guy and trust that McDermott and the Power of Christ will make them an effective player.

Really, this is an extension of the Jones/Woods argument. Can you legitimately say the Bills upgraded at WR by letting Woods go and drafting Jones? I'd argue not. The 3rd WR is still, as of today right here in the Jeremy Maclin freaking thread, a problem. If you sign Woods AND draft Jones now your #3 WR is a better player and you have upgraded the WR position. In order to upgrade a position you have to push better players down the depth chart, not just churn. We are not better at CB, we are not better at S, we are not better at WR. We are different, different is not necessarily better and we are certainly not any deeper at those positions. Bringing it back to the thread, signing Maclin WOULD, however, upgrade the WR position as it would push a better WR to the 3 and thus the 4 and 5 slots.

Yes, but he's not better, on paper, than the 2016 on-paper version of Aaron Williams. So, as I said, last year they needed 1 safety. This year they need 1 safety. The player they have is a reasonable starter. The second safety is hot garbage. All of the depth is the bacteria feeding on said hot garbage. Same situation as last year. Safety has not been upgraded.

By that metric, any living safety would be an upgrade.

And safety was an issue going into last season, so unless Hyde is an upgrade over Williams, which is questionable, or if Hyde is going to play both safety positions himself they haven't upgraded the position from where we were last year at this time.

I'm tired of talking about Pat Mahomes already. Basically forever.

Lost 2 good corners, replaced them with a rookie and some lower tier FAs. Granted he was a #1 pick but rookies are rookies and you don't know if he's Antoine Winfield or JD Williams right now. Haven't upgraded the safety position at all. Linebacker is still sketchy. Where does Ragland fit? Does Brown bounce back at all? How do they use Alexander? What is Hodges' role? Does Lawson do anything this year? Can Kyle Williams stay healthy - if so what does he have left? Does Dareus buy in or go through the motions? There are plenty of things that need to go right for the defense to even be the same let alone better.

Smerlas was a Plan B free agent, not the same as cut. If we are allowing Plan B to count Ronnie Harmon needs to go on the list based on his productivity after he left - not that anyone missed him at all. Also can't forget the circumstances around the team after 1989. There was a lot of house cleaning to get malcontents out of the locker room. That year alone saw Chris Burkett released during the season after he held out during camp, Smerlas and Harmon put on Plan B after the season. Smerlas was a pain in the ass his entire career. Also, McDole wasn't cut he was traded, that doesn't count. How about Ahmad Rashad? I'm not sure about the technicalities behind his leaving Buffalo other than he got hurt in 1975 and ended up in camp with the expansion Seahawks in 1976 who traded him to Minnesota where he made 4 Pro Bowls. Gibran Hamdan

I wonder how his knee is. He's torn his right ACL twice.

Did Key Bank Center to Henrietta in 1 hour 10 minutes this February and I wasn't even trying very hard. There is nothing in Buffalo that even compares a little bit to the traffic in SoCal or even to something like I-95 on a Friday afternoon anywhere between NY and Quantico, VA

probably a virus. Get plenty of rest and when you're playing football, try to favor the other leg.

Ah Drew Bledsoe. Pat the ball, pat the ball, sack.

Because the military is a different animal and not like a regular employer, once you are in they own you. Like it or not. Read up on stop-lossing.

So he's getting cut in camp then??

Viking funeral.

They'd solve the problem if they'd eliminate football at the academies. Of course then no Army/Navy game so that won't be happening.

I expect him to miss at least 4 games with injury. 20 tackles 2.5 sacks. 1 TFL.

Prove they didn't. This works both ways. Even if they didn't they are, almost by default, attacking StubHub users, and collecting data on their own season ticket holders throughout the year for the purpose of excluding them without telling them they are doing it. If they are getting the data from StubHub as to which tickets are sold through them each week I wonder how happy StubHub is with this and if they'll be open with the data in the future.

So, the Bills then?

So the NFL promotes it's Ticket Exchange through Ticketmaster then allows teams to punish season ticket holders for using it. Well done. The lesson I learned from this article? If I'm going to sell seats don't do it online and DEFINITELY don't do it through the team's site.
