....
Lastly, does it really matter who makes the final choice in Buffalo? I have very little confidence that anyone in the current Bills FO who makes the final choice will get it right.
Well, that's an awfully dark sentiment.
I see it differently. What is more important, pick one:
- very good coaching
- very good front office
- very good sync between front office and coaching (regardless of how good they are individually)
I choose very good coaching as the most important factor in team success. The Bills sucked because Rex sucked. FO could have been rock stars, and it probably would have added only game to the W column.
I'm cautiously optimistic because I think the Bills may have the right coach. FO is average, while that sucks, it isn't a death sentence if the coach is good or better.

A constructive reply for a teachable moment.
Use a before words that start with a consonant sound and an before words that start with a vowel sound. Other letters can also be pronounced either way. Just remember it is the sound that governs whether you use a or an, not the actual first letter of the word.

Mahome and Watson are not pick 10 material. pick 25+, yes. We have Taylor, so we're not in the desperate situation of drafting someone higher than they are worth.

Looks like the Bills played it smart not overpaying early in the process
Not over paying ... that's a rarity for the Bills.
Instead of hometown discount, they usually do the Stockhom-effect hometown overpay.

I'm not normally a superstitious guy, but another 1st round Mike Williams?.
We didn't do so well with the first Mike Williams. Maybe a pass (pun intended) is in order if this guy is still on the board when the Bills are on the clock.

The Pats were running wind sprints right up until the Super Bowl. .....
Did you see the movie Miracle on Ice? Rent it if you haven't.
You cannot change the culture of this team unless Dareus is gone.....he is the biggest cancer to having a TEAM.
Selfish, unreliable, untruthful, and a stupid cheater. All characteristics that are more harmful to a team than any number of sacks can help.
Yes. He is the Mario Williams of 2017.
Speaking of culture change. How do we know this McDermott guy isn't eating ranch with his wings? .....
I snorted my Titos & Soda through my nose when I read that.
I have a teen daughter who dips her pizza in ranch.. so gross.
They can change whatever culture they want, EXCEPT they better not mess with the TAILGATE culture. That, my friends is off limits.
Can we at least get rid of the public sex, and the guys setting themselves afire?
...... Everyone thought it was a positive that the players were happy to see Marrone go, well there was a reason they didn't like him.
Yep. The players are millenials. Millenials are not fans of hard work.
I hope they become Bruce Smith. He was the grand slack master his first years here. Then something snapped in him and he got in shape, and ...gasp... started studying film on his own without being told to. You know the rest of the story.

It's SAT time.
R. Brandon is to the Bills

G. Costanza is to the ______________

Oh no, this is such a profound and indisputable game changer. I think this puts the Patriots in a great position to win the AFC East division next year.
Well done. Captain Sarcasm is your new Delta Tau nickname.

Did these types of threads pop up before BBMB?
By these threads, you mean a thread beating a dead horse...
Yes. But unless there was some originality in it, it would quickly disappear off the first page of the forum.
Example: A Ralph is Cheap thread, unless there was a big new example of cheapness, would quickly be lost in the froth.
Sometimes a 26 page thread is 5 pages of good discussion followed by 21 pages of 2 or 3 people debating each other--usually civilly.
If you visit regularly, you learn which threads not to open.

I vote for closed thread.
I'm not judging the OP, just saying this doesn't introduce any new information or new analyses that haven't been discussed ad nauseum in all the other threads here.

George Costanza saw Watson at the combine and said: it moved.
-
Keeping TT isn't going to make me throw the toaster in my bath water.
The restructured contract is a nice good faith move on his part, probably a return of the favor when the Bills unnecessarily gave him big dollars last Fall.
I bet the Bills still draft Watson if they can.
The good news though: thoughts of Carsdale as No. 1 are dead. Sources tell me (I hate to say that), he was a slug in training camp who would rather sleep during off hours than work on his own to improve, and he had high school level mechanics on his footwork and throw.
-
The CB depth in the 2017 draft runs deep, so the Bills must think they can find a suitable replacement for NRC.
Not saying Robey was great, but I find it hard to believe with our CB position as bad as it is that we can replace him with a FA that plays as well as he did for under 1.5 Million dollars. Seems like yet another wtf action by the Bills management.
Yeah, I read that the draft is rich in CB talent. No need for a costly FA CB... the draft can bring someone in.
-
If it's not announced, it isn't real.
The Bills have until March 11th to take action. (I don't know why that is the date)
As the time increases between the leak-->official announcement .... the probability of it being fake news increases exponentially.
Real signings get reported quickly.

LOL .... people on a fan board dominated these days by 378 threads on Quarterback/Tyrod are criticizing a newspaper for lack of ingenuity?
Jay probably plugged his nose when he hit the go button on that article.

Permanent outdoor lighting is a capital asset a landlord is normally responsible for, ie: Erie County.
If the Bills are paying for this, the landlord is ripping them off.

OBD = Groundhog Day
TBD / TSW QB Thread = Groundhog Hour

He's questionable in the character department.
He's injured.. through training camp.
He's a UDFA. I'll eat this thread if he's drafted.
Aside Regarding Jim Kelly: The USFL made him a successful QB. Running the fast paced USFL offenses trained his mind and his reaction times, led to his success in the NFL no-huddle. This was also the case with Kurt Warner.

Hopefully Vic Beasley's menu includes Tom Brady's face on a platter.
My menu, I would say wings, meatballs, and some kind of chips/dip (preferrably nacho cheese).
Brady's face on my plate = me barfing.
All the tech money and they can't stay in the bay? Ridiculous
Mark Davis said a week ago that Goldman Sachs is ready to step in and provide the needed funds
Goldman is out. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18594904/oakland-raiders-las-vegas-stadium-deal-loses-backing-goldman-sachsI'm sure to protect the relationship with one of their best customers.

The technology feminuch don't relate well to US football.

Go...
We always have foods from the two cities being represented in the game. I am so freaking tired of NE foods! That said...
Sam Adams
Sweet tea & vodka
NE clam chowder
Lobster rolls
Fried chicken
Peach cobbler
Pecan pie
Thread is TL;DR... so
For your theme: I love Fried Clams in a hot dog roll. Back in the day, Friendly's Restaurant had the "Clam Boat" on their menu. You could make it with frozen clams strips... no problem.
Your Southern menu is well represented. You could throw down some Whoopie Pies without effort.

LAMP: I was delivering the Courier Express one morning. Old school style with a paper bag over my shoulder.
These stray dogs started trailing me. The pack got bigger and some started getting aggressive. I shed the bag and fled home.
Turned out one of the ads in the paper had the scent of bacon for dog treats.
True story.

dude "hints" that Bills are "likely"
A double-weasel-word does not a factual report make.
I hate the off season.
-
I think he deserves another chance. I would enjoy the "Johnny hype" he would bring to the team and city. Remember the Terrell Owens signing. It didn't work out and I realize Manziel isn't likely to either. However, as a fan I like when the Bills get national attention and Manziel will surely do that. Lastly, you never know he might be a very serviceable backup.
Are you the Ice from the 1990's TBD? Your irrationale post makes me think: Yes.

Trump will do well.
Not because he's particularly capable. But because he'll surround himself with competent people. I like his staff already.
BHO surrounded himself with not very competent flunkies. He filled the White House with "community organizer" types, and got the expected result.

Kelly Bluebook?
Kelly Girl?
Kelly Skipper ... yes, hired.
Chip Kelly, not at this time.
anybody not on board drafting QB at 10 is a *****

Om my gosh... corrected.
I haven't had enough coffee yet.
