Reminiscent of the Bills with Reilly and Lee.

You do know corporations are the main issuers of bonds, right?

I applaud you, Hapless, for the extremely rare reference to The Fishing Blues. Taj version in your mind?

As McDermott was hired first, isn't likely he had huge input on the GM hire? Also, at the time of McD's hire, the Pegs made it clear he would be the sole "voice" for the Bills. So, yeah, McD would appear to be the real power, after ownership. This isn't unusual. Who holds the reins in NE? No way the GM there isn't below Belichick. But what's odd in Buffalo, aside from hiring the new HC before the new GM, is granting that much power and authority to an unproven first time HC. Seems DD really twists your jockeys. Why don't you take a hike? You will be happier and the rest of us can enjoy his posts. Win win.

Yolo, you go from who "could" in the title to who "will" in the survey question. These are 2 very different questions. The entire roster could be gone. And none of the first and second teams necessarily will be gone. It's even possible Tyrod will be back.

Sure you are. Don't let the mental midgets drive you away.

I don't understand the Mayfield love unless it's "I heard of him." He is very short and worse, has Trump-like small hands. There are red flags with his behavior. And he plays in a style that really hasn't prepared him for the NFL. In a rational world, he'd be a late round, take-a-chance pick. His best shot for pro success might be as a running back.

I'm older than a lot of people around here but I'll still bet there are many who remember that even into the 1960s, a woman couldn't open a bank account without the approval of her father or husband, couldn't have a credit card, couldn't enter into a contract without her husband or father's approval, were openly kept out of many professions quite legally and, when allowed into a profession, were kept in certain non-competitive sub-categories. If they entered the military, they were largely restricted to secretarial or nursing jobs. No way were they going to drive a truck, fly a plane or pull a trigger. And no way were they ever going to get high rank. The same thing was largely true in medicine, the law, university professorships. I spent a lot of my adult life in entertainment as a writer, producer, manager, etc. There were almost no women among session musicians, TV bands, etc. I never worked with a woman producer in music. There were almost no women in the Writers Guild or the Directors Guild. Of all the music, television and movie execs and agents, if there were women in those positions up to the mid to late 70s, they must have been invisible because I never met one. So when you fear that women are creating an "unfair to men" situation, remember that they weren't the first one's to do it.

Come on, you're a Johnny Reb farm boy and you're this afraid of women? Must say I'm surprised.

A little less Limbaugh in your life correlates to less agita and a closer relationship to life as it actually is.

A woman came forward to join the chorus on John Conyers. Her beef? He harshly criticized her work performance and made her feel bad. No sex charges, just that he was "mean."

I would support adding a legit franchise QB. Unfortunately, your 2 examples aren't. Eli is a declining mediocrity and Cousins is a "never will be" tease like Cutler.

Thanks, and the same to you.

I use it when I'm out. If I'm on the laptop, I just open the link. Plays great.

Somewhere in the draft. Title of the thread is 2017 Draft Redo.

I didn't. I thought he was a too conservative imbecile who cannot be entrusted with whatever QB savior Beanie is going to draft.

Well, of course you do. You would want Natty Pete even if Brady and Rodgers were suddenly added to the roster.

I chose Other because, somewhere in there, I would have liked them to have picked Kupp.

What if neither one is available?

Let's not leave out Schmidt and Hauschka.

This just makes crystal clear what's been obvious all season long: McD is a fearful, super conservative coach who's in over his head. So the question is, do you acknowledge he's not the man for the job and jettison him and his stupid "process" the day after the last game, or do you bring him back for another one or two seasons? With his mindset, and with the dreadful example of how he sees and oversees the offense, he will be a disastrous coach for whatever young QB the Bills draft. That will be like Jeff Fisher/Jared Goff on mega steroids. So? Keep him or go find the Bills version of McVay?

Is the 2018 Fan Class overrated?

The Brandon/Nix/Whaley moves were not Ralph's. His wife took control after the Levy disaster. From then on Ralph was just preparing for landing.

Didn't build for the future? Good Lord Almighty, look at the picks he made -- many of them now playing well for teams across the league -- and how they fit. He also put together a stellar scouting staff that was particularly adept at finding pros from other teams who fit in quite well. Whaley was hit with two coaches, Marrone and Ryan, who were either stubborn, belligerent or, in Wrecks case, lazy, who did either did not properly use the talent he gave them or demanded the Bills sign their dregs (Rex's Jets mafia) and use the precious draft picks on "their kind of player." Whaley had the misfortune of having an aged and sick owner followed by a tentative newbie owner. I would like to see how he'd have done had both the Wilson Mafia and the Pegs said, "You're in charge completely, you're our football czar." I suspect this whole thing would have worked out far, far better and we'd now be confidently discussing how far into the post season the 2017 Bills would be going.

A grand tale. Full blessings on you and your family.
