I think alot of the trades have been questionable from a compensation standpoint, but am generally ok with them... I didn't even cry when Reilly was cut. J-Will being cut is the big head-scratcher for me. Just don't get it. Must have not "bought in" or whatever. I don't know if McBean will work out, but I hope they don't end up like Chip Kelly and Josh McDaniels. We don't need another 5 year setback like that.

Lol At you, not the post, for adding yourself to the list of posters who believe you are better because you were a member longer. That narrative is just as laughable and unjustified as the other things you complain about.

So now we "respect" lying and PR over actions? Not me. Be honest, tell it like it is. I lose all respect for someone when they are disingenuous. And lets not pretend he didn't say that because he didn't want to offend the Bills. He did it because he knew he could get some positive PR in the process of jumping ship. He didn't even do a good job of hiding it.

Fits their adgenda

I could actually see that happening. If we were a team in the playoff mix, maybe the rest of the NFL would whine, but the Bills? That's like throwing an old dog a bone. Realistically though, it would be a neutral site as close to Charlotte as logistically possible, like when we played a "home" game vs the jets in detroit a few years ago.

No surprise. Obviously the whole civil right bs was just that, BS... And mighty convenient timing I might add.

Very strange indeed, Royale. And it's a good thing you went with Royale with cheese, otherwise our over-the-pond friends wouldn't know what the **** you were, you know, with the metric system and all......

True story. Contrary to what the WN, kkk, or antifa believe, this IS a free country with freedom of expression. Especially unpopular views, which is why it's there. I don't tell people what to say or think, because I surely don't expect them to tell me what to think and say.

I don't like it, or agree with the grandstanding aspect of it. I find it disrespectful and quite frankly they are misappropriating their protest to "America", when they should be more focussed on crooked cops and the kkk, neither of which represent America. That said, this is America. If you want to sit for the anthem, fine. It's your right, and I encourage people to do what they believe is right. But I reserve my right to hate you for it.

My understanding as well. All has to do with tenure. You "cut" them, and they either hit waivers or don't depending on it. Some more info per PFT on the difference, and vested veteran rules as well: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/08/30/vested-veterans-wholl-be-cut-will-get-to-pick-their-next-team/

Agreed. It is also important to mention the McD surely knows alot more about TT than we do. Concussions can take a while in certain curcumstances, but the vast majority allow a player to be active in less than 15 days (from concussion to opener). I think who plays tonight will tell us alot more about TT's status than "what we have in our coach" as previously mentioned.

I can't believe you are actually defending this ludicrous narrative. Or believe it. Obviously, after 17 years of suck, alienating the Bills fanbase is a fools errand. I'm starting to think satire. Either satire or stupid, which is it?

Yes, of course. Vlad ducasse= massive clandestine conspiracy to undermine the Bills. I just don't get why, the Bills seem to be very effective at sucking without help.

I don't disbelieve the OP's story or that a former player might think that. But at the same time I don't see how a former player (who isn't dealing with McD any more than we are), knows something we don't. Being his opinion is fine, but I just don't value anybodys opinion on the matter and am willing to let it play out. That's from someone who is very skeptical about the return we have gotten from recent trades (myself). Fact is, we don't know how it will turn out, but I respect the honest attempt at a legitimate rebuild. Too many half assed, win-kinda-now-but-still-rebuild years and need a real foundation if we want a build something big. Overzealous, cap cuffing, "big splash" signings are a thing of the past and that is refreshing. I am going to "trust the process", but I might mumble and groan along the way.

You watch too many movies. Lol

So your argument is essentially "why did they disrespect him after he disrespected them?", and that since you are super duper important with a big paycheck too and got away with it, he should too? And if Marcell is aiming to be treated like an adult, perhaps he should begin to act like one. Exactly. They are saying with their actions "my time is more important than yours". Some people care about that stuff. It matters whether you do what you say you are going to do.

Sometimes I wonder if you are sincerely a nice, albiet ignorant person... ...or pretending to be nice so you can sneek in jabs. I'm going with the latter, but I guess I won't rule out sheer ignorance, GBfan2010

Man, I love seeing a fan of another team that makes Bills fans look normal by comparison. Cheers, bro

Never should it even be suggested that we root for the Pats. Plus, it's a foregone conclusion that they win, so you can get the earlier KC pick and never have had to sacreligiously denounce the Bills long enough to even utter one pro-pats phrase.

I don't agree with this at all. They are switching to 4-3 because that's what McD and Frazier do. All the talk of fitting the system to our players is obviously not the case, if you are a square peg they will ship you to a team with square holes.

So trading away Darby, Watkins, and Ragland for significantly less than their value isn't a fire sale? Fore Sale - a selling of remaining goods or assets for a very low price. Don't try to paint me as some sort of alertist, Jesus Kellytough...

Fire sale!

I would be willing to bet McD lasts 3 years at the least, as a matter of fact I would all but guarantee 4 years. They wouldn't be so clearly building the future if they thought 2 years and done was a possibility. I get the impression Terry is ready to let McD's vision play out completely.

Usual suspects... ...Dirtiest player in the NFL, and that's saying something. Burfict no longer gets benefit of the doubt

All good man. I know the pressure is building as the season approaches. People are passionate about their opinions, and that's fine. Quite frankly that's why we are here, at the land of misfit toys, only for fans too intense for the average football conversation. I just have a hard time believing people want to go 2-14. They want a Super Bowl, too, but think tanking is the way to get there. There is evidence of mixed results, mostly supporting the fact that tanking doesnt work, but I get the perspective. We lose 1 more game in 2003, we would have gotten Roethlisberger, and 1 more loss in 2010 gets us Cam Newton, etc. Do you remember/celebrate those wins, or would you rather have Ben or Cam? That's the thinking. I do understand your point of view though.
