Taylor has now lost every WR he gained confidence throwing to less then 4 weeks before the season begins so this is cumulative on a QB thats being asked to throw with confidence. with all due respect Shaw can we afford the extra loss and still reach the playoffs?

As upset as I am over Sammy, I do trust McD/Beane to build a smart, hard working, and men of good character football team.

Taylor was also negotiated down to a more appealing trade value IMO.

2 sounds about right IMO

I'm the wrong person to ask...

touche, Is there anything more exciting then T Mobile to Sammy long or Tyrod avoiding a sack and running for a TD? I'm not a season ticket holder or someone who puts a great deal of time and money traveling long distances to catch games. I feel for our fellow patrons/Bills fans that do go the extra mile.

I agree, and it would not surprise me if negotiations are already under way.

I think the opposite, rebuilding means job security for everyone. Many of the season ticket holders are locked in by now expecting to see our 3 core superstars in Sammy, Shady, and T Mobile because that why you go, to watch playmakers make plays. Bill Polian will tell you the sprinkling of star players is a necessity for a championship caliber football team. Buffalo gave up allot to get Sammy Watkins and recieved a fraction of what he cost in return. Russ Brandon is perfectly willing to gut a football team just like he decimated a veteran Bills Oline as acting GM back in the day without a second thought and brought in a popular over the hill player to appease the fan base. Sound familiar? it should. How can the OC of your football team call for more anticipation on throws from his QB Then send the last WR on the roster he has any chemistry with packing. From an offensive perspective dealing Sammy hurt the team and it did not seem like a move/disruption a new GM or HC wants to make in my humble opinion. The Bills are getting put into rebuild mode like the Sabres and the push is coming from R Brandon IMO. Thanks for the great read OP and I understand the philosophy behind building through the draft.

been there, done that (D Thomas wasn't an option)

I almost posted the same thing

Denver could be offering a 2 right now as we post... Note: One of T T's biggest fans/supporters and I'm preparing myself for this one.

Refusing to re-negotiate would signify a higher cost to anyone interested, but since Taylor did re-negotiate Tyrod Taylor may now become more affordable for some teams IMO. Especially If a playoff contender loses their starting QB during the preseason. I'm just saying...

true

Myself personally, I don't think Buffalo is done looking for trade partners in my humble opinion.

thats cool

OMG, don't remind me, just our luck eh

Nice catch Yo, and call CBF

well clearly Sammy is not Tyrods favorite target now,

Pretty much sums it up.

I've been helping care for an elderly fellow that at his late age (84)had never been a football fan of any kind until last year. He became a Bills fan, partly so we could watch and enjoy the games together. Unfortunately my old Italian Buddy may not be long for this world and I had a hard time explaining to him why Buffalo just sent their best player packing.

...we're horrible at tanking to though...

Russ strikes again?

Watkins probably becomes to costly next season so Buffalo can end up with nothing or a 2nd rounder. I realize we lose arguably our best player when healthy this season , but has Sammy shown an ability to stay healthy? Awwww man, its been a tough day...

true that

I agree Taylor ends up in Denver ...
