Logic

"Abducted In Plain Sight" on Netflix is the craziest ***** thing I've ever seen. I mean....wow. I just don't even know what to say about it.

Shhhhh. Actual facts have no place in arguments with BADOL!

I'll say it again: Imagine rating Star Lotulelei on the basis of his sacks and QB hits. It's like rating a WR on the amount of pancake blocks he gets.

Imagine rating the impact of a 1T like Star Lotulelei based on number of tackles. Sheesh.

That's funny. I could've sworn the Bills had the number one passing defense and number two overall defense in the entire league. Not "money well spent"? I completely disagree. As to McCarron being a waste of money: He netted a 5th round pick. Previous mid-late round draft picks by Beane have included bright young stars Matt Milano and Taron Johnson. So...if the 5th round pick we got for McCarron ends up turning into a quality player in the draft, I expect you to own up to that fact and admit that it wound up being a net gain for the BIlls. Oh wait, no I don't.

Are you serious with this garbage? Beane overpaid for McCarron? REALLY?! And Bodine, too? Absolute nonsense. Furthermore, he later TRADED McCarron and Newhouse to other teams for draft picks. What a waste their signings were ? As for sending the Browns a 7th round pick for a former 1st round WR when the Bills were desperate for WR help and speed on the outside...are you REALLY gonna fault him for taking that swing? Seriously, you're trying too hard with the Beane hate. And then you have the nerve to end with the two sentences you ended with? If you're gonna be a big richard, take your own advice and "try to get some facts right at least".

My wife was a server at a very popular and busy brunch restaurant in downtown Portland, OR for a number of years. To give you an idea of what we're talking about here, wait times for brunch would routinely get into the 2-3 HOURS zone in the summer. People happily waited. That kind of place. So this place has limited outside seating. A few tables lining two walls of the building, nothing major. Wife said one time a couple walked up CARRYING A TABLE and said "can we sit outside?". She (hostessing that day) said "sure, it'll be about 2 hours". They replied "But we brought our own table!", as if that was a thing that someone can do at a restaurant. I couldn't believe it. There were dozens of other "ridiculous customer" stories over the years, so I have more of those than "bad service" stories. People dining out are pretty consistently awful, by the way. Especially in the Yelp/Tripadvisor era.

I'd be fine with the Bills spending big money on Clowney or Demarcus Lawrence. Neither will hit the market.

For all the smack talking about Williams being done in this thread, I'll say this: Williams on one side, Foster on the other, and Zay Jones in the slot, with Duke Williams and Ian McKenzie as red zone and depth guys, respectively...would be a productive WR corps.

I find that Astro is quite accurate with regard to one thing: How many times Bills scouts or personnel people have visited a given school. Trying to figure out which prospect they were there to see specifically is all guess work.

I understand the "running back production historically goes down at a certain age" argument. I just don't see any evidence that this has happened to McCoy yet. His problem last year was mental. Hesitance to hit the hole due to his not having faith that there would BE a hole most of the time. Mental hesitancy based on lackluster offensive line personnel does not equal "falling off the age cliff" to me. But we can agree to disagree.

It's hard to do without knowing what the Bills sign in free agency. I anticipate that they will sign a center and tackle. I also don't like the idea of guessing at trade-backs. So with those two provisos, I'd like something like this in the first three rounds: 9th pick - DK Metcalf 40th pick - Irv Smith 74th pick - Elgton Jenkins

I'd love to know how getting hit immediately upon receiving the hand-off indicates how his skills/production "fell off a cliff". Care to elaborate?

YES! When I look at how the Patriots use James White...and Rex Burkhead, and how the used to use Dion Lewis and Kevin Faulk, etc, etc, etc...it drives me absolutely NUTS that the Bills don't use Shady the same way in the passing game. He is more talented than ALL of the above running backs. Splitting him out into the slot or out wide against a linebacker or safety and sending him on a slant or drag route should be easy money every time. Utilizing him as a receiver out of the backfield on wheel routes and option routes - same thing. Easy money. Why don't the Bills do this? Everyone knows the Pats have bad receivers and that their running backs will be getting the ball in the passing game, yet they're STILL able to use them successfully, even with the defense knowing its coming. Again, why can't the currently receiver-deficient Bills do this? It's just maddening.

People are hating on Shady way too much for his 2018 season. I fully agree that he danced too much at times and needed to hit the hole with purpose more often. HOWEVER...our offensive line was absolutely AWFUL at run blocking. Like really, REALLY bad at it. I lost count of the times that Shady was hit within 1 second of being handed the football. Those that say he's "washed up" or want to ship him out for peanuts are crazy, in my opinion. He didn't suddenly forget how to play football overnight. Get this man some legitimate offensive linemen and he'll do what he's always done. I'm all for drafting a young guy to be Shady's heir apparent, but the speed with which so many Bills fans have given up on him -- after a year in which the team had a historically dreadful offensive line -- is baffling to me.

That's the most horrible and upsetting thing I've ever looked at. It's no wonder why Bills fans are the number 1 haters of the Patriots. Sweet fanciful Moses, that's awful.

It drives me crazy how incestuous the coaching and GM hires amongst the non-Patriots members of the AFC East are. Chan Gailey Greg Williams Adam Gase Dowell Lagains Rex Ryan Danny Crossman Mike Tenanbaum I'm sure there are a bunch more that I'm missing. We all keep passing around the same failed coaches and personnel men. Meanwhile, the Patriots won their 174th consecutive AFC East championship this year. Fun times.

I will also say that I thought his being a healthy scratch in week 16 was telling. All things being equal, I get the feeling the Bills would like to go with youth at the position. If the Bills are going to roll the dice with an oft-injured player at tight end, I'd rather they go with Tyler Eifert. At least there is a high ceiling there if he can get past the injury bug.

Remember when ex Bills safety Duke Williams Tweeted that Crossman once HIT HIM?! Good times.

For some perspective, here's a mock draft he released for LAST YEAR'S draft at about the same time of year: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000912165/article/lance-zierlein-mock-draft-10-darnold-barkley-bolster-browns?campaign=fb-nf-sf180709256-sf180709256&sf180709256=1 0/32.

It discusses the difficulties in getting free agents to come to Buffalo. It's an all-around good article, but the nugget buried in the middle that was most interesting to me is this: "Mike Shanahan has stated he would’ve been the Bills’ coach if his wife hadn’t refused to come." Maybe everyone else already knew that, but it came as news to me. Interesting "what if" to ponder.

Every year, without fail: If we DON'T sign quality players, people complain that the GM is sitting on his hands and doing nothing. If we DO sign quality players but overpay a bit to do it (because, ya know...that's how free agency works, especially when you're trying to lure players to a bad weather city that hasn't won in 20 years), people cry "WE OVERPAID!". Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
