I said 5 win team, I'm not wrong yet.
Let's see what happens starting Thurs night. Normally, a game like the upcoming Jets game is where the franchise would falter, and finish with 6/7 wins on the season.
Ok. Root for them to lose then. Great way to be a fan.

I saw him play. One of the best we ever had. One of the best all around football players ever. Could run,block, was a kicker, and would have bee an all pro LB if he had played in that side of the ball. A head case to be sure but a terrific player.
One autograph day I was trying to wedge through the crowd around him to get him to sign and the bigger kids kept pushing me away. Cookie saw it, reached over and grabbed me and put me up on his shoulder. Never forget it.

Just win the next one.

We have a backup RB averaging over 4.1 yards per carry and adding another 5.5 per reception. I get there is concern about what happens if McCoy goes down long term, and that his touches are limited, thus perhaps skewing his numbers and making them look more positive, but he can only prove his ability with the touches he gets, and so far, he has done that.
I cannot see Hyde coming here and being happy with a backup role. Tolbert looks better than Gore.
Overall, if we add anyone, I think we could find a place that would have a greater impact than backup RB. WR to start with.
Good points. I could say the same about WR though. Every week guys that supposedly are so bad step up. Holmes today for example.
-
McBean will stand pat. It would go against everything theyve done so far to trade away picks for a rental on Hyde or Pryor. Im convinced we wont trade for anyone...unless its player for player.
This is the likely scenario.
-
Hyde or Gore would be nice
-
Why is everyone giving Beane credit to our good start
This is all Mcdermott and the guys Whaley brought in here.
If Beane trades Glenn that is the last straw with him. Glenn is one of the best players on our offense.
Go away. You don't have the slightest understanding of anything.

I did oldman, we surely missed 99.
Not!!!
I personally was in tears not seeing 99 out there.
-
And? Did you watch the game?Kyle Williams on Marcell Dareus trade: "I think it was best for both sides." Mentioned Dareus needed a fresh start.
Lorenzo Alexander shocked by Marcell Dareus trade. Eric Wood says there was disconnect between Dareus and new regime. #Bills

Again you're not going to get away with 165 yds every week. I'll take the win but this is not going to cut it every week. As a matter of fact it will cause our run game to go into problems again until Tyrod proven he can beat you through the air
You apparently have a need to draw attention to yourself. You got it. Now stop.
-
The old guard of this board simply doesn't get it.
Hold on now! I'm an old fart and I'm fine with Dareus leaving.
-
That's being a troll?. I'm starting facts.
Learn the difference between facts and opinions
-
Cook blatantly pushes the defender off- no penalty
Guy slips behind Matthews- offensive pass interference
-
Well, that's why I'm not a coach. Gutsy call.
-
Kick it. Make them come up with three scores.
-
Run D is really suffering isn't it?
-
Would coleman or any street FA be worth a double dogit cap hit?
No. Because your premise that it would is absolutely ridiculous.
-
Wrong it is a very true and correct way. You had Dareus on this team for his Sunk cost contract.
You chose to fet rid of him causing still 10M plus to be assigned right now to No other DT. So essentially paying 10M for nada to help the Dt rotation.
You sign a new DT to fill Dareus spot in the rotation you are assigning double digit cap hit to a lesser player.
So just remember that people that say Dareus wasnt worth his cap hit
No ****. So when his replacement is signed you now have that replacement as the vaule of his contract plus the dead money
Your error is insisting a guy like Coleman would be a lesser player. If Dareus brought it every play he would be. But Dareus doesn't and that's why he's gone.
And before you start with your stacking crap, Scott showed the last game the majority of the time he was single teamed.
-
I still feel like we should have gotten at least a 3rd or 4th for him.
Let's Go Buffalo!!!!!
You can only get what people are willing to give.
-
You are STILL Paying Darues. So whichever player you sign to replace Dareus his dead money counts as how much is spent on said player. That is SUNK COST
So will the player that Bills sign to replace Darues be worth double digit cap hit this year?
And a double digit cap hit next year as well??
Yes they lose dead money to get rid of a dead player. But save some they can use on a live player.
-
Here we go with the sunk cost. Now you are paying much less of a player over 10M in cap.
So say they re-sign the cut again DT in Coleman now you are giving Coleman 12M against the cap this year and add the replacement next year to 14.5M and that is his real number
Coleman getting 12 million? What are you talking about?

I didn't say mistreated.
When he signed his contract, it was after a season in which he had 9 sacks and was a VISIBLE dominant force.
That wasn't his role in Rex Ryan's defense, but that didn't mean he wasn't playing well. It was just less flashy.
He endures two years of that ass hole and in comes McDermott. I like McDermott, but he's been a dick to Dareus since the day he got hired.
Dareus continued to do what he was asked to do.
Did he really? Come on now.
And since when is a coach asking a player to live by rules he demands of all his players mean the coach is a dick?
Maybe McNair is right. The inmates shouldn't run the asylum.
-
Indeed, some people are so blind that they are clueless and are quick to call others clueless while they attempt to justify a ridiculous trade.
Thanks.
You have visions of the pre-contract Dareus in your head. It's fine to say let him play for two years. But when you can't count on his motivation to play every game, at an exorbitant cost, it's a problem.
He'll say all the right things inJville then notperform and/or get suspended. Watch.
-
When he was put in, he did the job that was asked of him.
Like I said, he's not perfect and I was happy with what Beane did. But Dareus got !@#$ed in Buffalo, in my opinion.
He's had coaches try to coddle him and coaches that demand more of him. And for that he got a 100 million dollar contract.
How exactly is he mistreated?
So, 4-12 predictors...how's that working out?
