  1. Why would anyone want this based on what we have seen this year?
  2. Hopefully scooby and the gang figure this one out before it’s too late!
  3. Based on what I have seen from him I hope we do t need to use him much. Hopefully his lack of ability to make people miss is related to his toe. Singletary is much better right now. today is a game your franchise qb puts the team in his back
  4. I agree, the guarantees were not large, however they waived him and ate his money after 6 games. That's a bad deal, yet they moved on. Other regimes may have tried to hold on. At the end of the deal not all draft picks or FA's work out. Willingness to see/admit that and move on is key. There have been teams to waive a second round pick after 1 year but that is relatively rare.
  5. I think you can both be right. A second round pick you were desperate for and traded up for is different than some of the other situations. And we are not necessarily talking about benching him for a game, with the depth on this roster decisions have to be made about who stays and who goes. Was Beane making the decision to play Ford over Spain? Or is he putting pressure on the staff to play him? Maybe they see more raw ability and upside or maybe they evaluate differently than some fans/websites are. In general I agree that the sign of a good GM/staff is the willingness to move on from someone you thought a lot of. A high second round pick gets more slack than a lower end pick or undrafted guy. On the flipside they did move on after 6 games from a guy they just signed to a 3 year extension.
  6. I think this is more a case by case basis. When they signed him to that extension I think they would have expected him to be playing. So that obviously did not go that way, he is a fairly high paid backup, bad attitude, you can save some loot on the cap, sometimes its best to cut bait and move on. In another situation you dont just get released. I think they also wanted a roster spot for Zimmer in the near term.
  7. Just so long as they lose this week!!! Seriously, same stuff was said about the Dolphins last year, they were 0-8 but ended up 5-11. Things can change, if they fire Gase, they could easily get an attitude adjustment and win some games. They are different situations though, Flores is actually a good leader, unlike Gase who seems like a total clown.
  8. I don't find this shocking at all, it's what I know having lived through it. In fact we are not bottom 25%, its worse than that. The Bills have not won a playoff game in 25 years nor had a home playoff game! The Bills did not make the playoffs for like 20 years (remember "the drought")....forget a championship game, they have been among the leagues chumps since I graduated college and moved to New England. A place where their team goes to the AFC championship game more than half the years. A place where people are fatiqued of watching their team in a divisional playoff game and willing try to sell the tickets off. A place where winning a playoff game is expected sort of like the sun coming up...the only question is if they will win the SB in any given year. A great QB and coach can lead to long term sustained success. Hopefully that is what we have brewing and we can beat those #######s in two weeks.
  9. So is it 6 or 8 teams who have not been to a championship game?
  10. It’s kind of fun watching McCarthy in Dallas.....the show is just beginning. Who wants popcorn?
  11. I think this is the game Mark Duper was making fun of the shout song after the game.....then we smoked them later in the season and then in the playoffs I think. The Reich/Kelly "narrative" was real around WNY in those times....but only by the crazies. Even when you go to super bowls, fans find ways to out GM the GM.
  12. I am disappointed in Moss so far. He just runs into the mass of people
  13. half the people think he sucks, half think he eats space and does not make plays by design.
  14. Win the next two and the band wagon will be over flowing again. I am having a hard time seeing this defense tackle Newton though.
  15. Oliver wussed out big time on a screen in the first half.
  16. They DL seems like magnets with the same polarity as the qb. They repel each other.
