Iron Maiden

I think Atlanta, @ home, steamrolls the Bills...Beside the 2 NE games, it's going to be our toughest matchup.....

Yep..saw them live 7-8 years ago...they go all out with the props and Eddie etc....

In today's NFL, it's not bad...add Belichick's influence ( if he stays ) and NE would still be a pretty good team.....I want them to be 4-12 or 5-11 for a few years....I don't think it happens with JG at the helm.....

I'm actually one of the few who think Garappollo is the real deal and I'm not looking forward to the day he takes over in NE...Will he be Tom Brady ? Of course not...he won't be as good as the GOAT...but I fear he'll be very good.....Still hoping Cleveland ( or anyone else ) trades for him so the pats have to scramble to find Brady's replacement....

Overall, I like Whaley....but, to be honest, after a 17 year drought that is still going strong, I'm don't think " Superiority " is the correct word.....and compare to who ? Cleveland ?

I've been waiting since the '08 season where he got hurt......that's almost 10 years ago.....he was in the race for MVP last year....I've given up predicting his demise....it will happen, but I'm in the " won't believe it until it happens " frame of mind....

Nope...not at all....look, is it nice that TD Mike is now with NE ?...No.......does it warrant the outrage of some of the fans on here.... no....MG is not the difference maker between the Bills making the playoffs vs not making it..... Whatever record we end up with after 16 games, I believe it will be the same as it would have been with MG on the roster.... As I said a few times ( many other posters as well ), people's reaction would be completely different is the Lions or the Bucs had made that move.....but because it's NE, the Bills were " schooled again "....I don't think it's accurate....OBD put a value on MG and were not willing to pay more....it's that simple.....

The Bills were not going to challenge NE this year with or without MG...NE is a shoe in for the AFC Championship game whether they have MG or my 79 year old father pounding the rock......It was the right decision to "not match" the NE offer.....

lol...you guys are hard core....

There's plenty of reasons to dislike Brady...this is not one of them IMO....

It's Friday....It's Maiden time ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjAQSlTVcYI

That has to be the greatest screen name on the board...well done ! And it's not like every player that leaves is awful elsewhere.....Collins played well with the Brown ( which is a feat in itself ) and Chandler Jones is doing his thing in AZ.....

NE offense: Brady, Gronk, Cooks, Edelman, White, Mitchell, Allen, Amendola, Lewis, Burkhead + a solid Oline ( especially now that their Oline coach is back ) NE defense : Hightower, McCourthy, Gilmore, Ninkovicz, M. Brown, Butler ( if he stays ) Ealy...A. Branch has been solid for them also.... Very good special team...and the best coach in the business......I would qualify that team as " Loaded "...especially on O....

There's a link in this thread that touches on how Belichick, at this point in his career, would rather have players who have been in the league for some time as oppose to some raw rookies who need a season or two to adjust to the NFL.....

Yep.....The Lions would have done the offer, the thread does not go pass 5 pages.....Many Bills fans were cringing watching Hogan making those plays in the playoffs and are probably expecting the same this year with MG......

All I care about is we have a very good chance to start 1-0.....It's always nice to win the 1st one...And although I agree that predicting the overall record at this point is a bit silly, it is fun to do.... Vs NYJ--W At NC--L Vs--Den--W At--ATL--L At Cin--L Bye Vs--TB--W Vs--Oak--L At NYJ--W Vs--NO--W At--LAC--L At--KC--L Vs--NE--L Vs--Indy--W Vs--Mia--W At--NE--L At--Mia--L 7-9...that stretch of at LA, at KC and home vs NE will be brutal......At least we sweep the Jets......1st year of coach McD will be a tough one, but I believe 2018 is the year we breakthrough....

We finally have the answer...If we find someone considered to be the GOAT QB , we'll be in business...that's wonderful !!!! Let's start looking...I mean really looking....

They would still destroy us....but without the evil laugh....it would be more of a " feeling sorry for us " kinda look....

That...and a certain night game in 2012.........

We know this...the rest of the league couldn't care less about the Bills.....We'll need a season or 2 of 10-11 wins before they look at us as a contender.....

Not sure about that......If given the choice, I think the Bills would rather have MG than a 5th rounder....just not at that price....I don't think there's any party poppers going off at OBD because we got a pick from NE.....

The way I look at it, BB obviously thinks MG >>> Blount......

That lineup is ridiculous....their D is solid also....Coach McD will have a baptism by fire......I think he's going to be a fantastic HC but we simply don't have the guns right now to compete with NE...not a lot of teams do....

We disagree on that...he'll have a solid year if he ends up there........An aging Blount had 18 TDs.....MG could replicate that..........Brady needing to go is a gimme...the sooner the better....

There's plenty of examples that didn't work them of course...but there's quite a few that did....I'm so tired of them winning...It's starting to affect my rational.....I usually enjoy the off season because you don't hear about them as much...so far, this year has been brutal.... Hogan did end up being average for them...but that's the problem...they only needed him to be average...he ended up more involve in their plan once Gronk went down but he gave them exactly what they wanted...TD Mike could end up doing the same.... It just weird to read " XXX team is going to pull a fast one on the patriots "...even more so when it's the Bills....
