Down in Norh Port (new house, high ground.) Ready for the eye. Ready for the Bills.

When you think about it "No Days Off" doesn't mean they can't give up early 🤔

Lots of unamerican pieces of **** in this thread. I served my country so NO govt agent would violate your rights. Cops are violating everyone's rights left and right, black and white. If you defend any of these actions you better be moving to Russia where the state can do with you as they please. This is !@#$ing America, and the govt is killing and harassing its own citizens. Grow the !@#$ up you bunch of idiots!

Honestly I hope he turns out to be the guy. He'd be another story. He'd also turn our plethora of early picks from trade ammo into luxury/foundation building picks. I'd rather have that.

Idk. That would mean credit for Whaley and I don't see that happening. It would be ideal and would set the franchise up for massive success (potentially.)

Wouldn't this mean we were good tho? Headless horseman wasn't some chump on a horse

Real life isn't Madden. What if the rookie QB blows? There's a good chance of that happening so don't expect an instant franchise QB just because you drafted someone in the 1st round. All I can say is if they don't nail the pick and the QB flops, we are back at square one with a new coach and GM, lather/rinse/repeat

A lot of experts on here claiming the Bills will be amazing after the draft, by finally tanking after 17 LONG years of no playoffs. How many rings do Detroit and Cleveland have? Did New England tank for Brady? The game is about winning, not positioning. The Bills threw in the towel, plain and simple. They need to nail their picks and hope they're actually any good. Not something the Bills are known for, and the most successful draft GM we had is now gone. How many teams, in the NFLs long history, have tanked purposely and it worked out? These moves set the franchise back 3-5 years....to .500. At least I didn't waste my money on Sunday Ticket

He's only salty because we can see right thru him.

Who can they beat on the schedule? I imagine the Jets should be an easy win or two. Maybe.

You seem butthurt

That's what I'm saying. It's going to take even more time and patience; I'm talking Tom Landry and the Cowboys of the 60s type patience. This is going to be such a long time before we see the payoff, and that's if the gamble even works. There's always a chance this whole rebuild relies on the drafting of one player and if we miss or whiff we will back to the drawing board in 4-5 years looking down the barrel of a 21 year drought.

Poor footwork but is still young and could prob be coached. Doesn't seem to put much mustard on 30 yarders, reminds me of Chad Pennington in that regard. There's more but we're talking about a kid who's going to grow, hopefully

The other thing that irks me about the Gilmore/Darby thing is that they had to have known Darby was a man CB and wouldn't fit. WE all knew this. Rex even said that's why he will excel in his D is because he's strictly a man CB. And now they let the better all around DB walk in Gilmore for a guy they knew didn't fit...and reasoned his trading away is mostly, if not all, due to this lack of fitting a man CB in a zone cover scheme. Having a fresh HC and GM is showing right now. Watkins, when healthy, was uncoverable. He won us games. I think people just rate him lower in their minds because of his health and his draft position with what we gave up to get him. Watkins is a true loss. Jim Kelly got banged up a lot and missed games, even a super bowl, yet people would call you crazy talking about trading Ol Jimbo for a 2nd rounder and an ok but nearly not as good Corner.

Who's left on this team that says otherwise? The QB they aren't keeping past this year or the almost 30 y/o RB in a passing league? The drought will be buying drinks and getting drunk to wash away the pain of not being in the playoffs for 21 straight years.

What they're paid has absolutely nothing to do with how dangerous the sport is; that's an asinine argument to make. Every league, hell every worker, should be entitled to 50% profit; no more, no less

The Jills shouldn't come back unless they can scout for talent outside of Buffalo. You don't realize how little the scenery in that town is until you've lived in south Florida, west coast, NY, et al. Most Buffalo girls are busted

I hate to be the guy who takes a big steaming pile on your theory that if you can't judge QB talent (scouting is a crap shoot, Jerry Rice and Emmit Smith and Thurman Thomas were toooooooo slow for the game according to everyone and their mothers) you aren't a football guy "factoid" there, Cliff Clavin: Bill Walsh said Rick Meier was the 2nd coming of Joe Montana. Kinda like when he said Trent Edwards was good. So either Super Bowl winning Coach Bill Walsh isn't a football guy, or some random guy behind a keyboard, who's never run a team, scouted or coached or played in the NFL isn't the football guy. You tell me, Cliff

Could you imagine someone giving Tom the business, like Marty Lyons did to Jimbo? Lmao. I don't think you can even sneeze at Brady without a 15 yarder. Hell, I'm surprised they don't eject the player that sacks him, lol. Hyperbole aside, draft Brady and give him a fire to burn on like he's had for 16 years and we'd be the best team, the greatest, believe me.

Dude, no way. Jim Kelly would eat defenses for breakfast in today's NFL. He was a prolific passer, lest ye forget. Hell man, Marino would hit 6000 yards lol. But for real, he played in an era before the Ty Law rule, and the passing game exploded ever since. Keep Kelly healthy and upright and he'd torch everyone

They draft bad QBs all the time, like Ryan Mallet. They aren't immune to the bad personnel decisions bug, they're just lucky af to have the best antidote to it aka Brady.

Yeah man sunshine is horrible, I wish we had 300 cloudy days and 6 months of freezing temps instead of sunshine and hot women

People seem to be hung up on the price for Watkins; which would make sense if Whaley had foresight. Can't fault him in the injuries. What if we stayed and drafted OBD and it was the same situation or he just didn't pan out? People would complain he didn't trade up for Watkins or didn't trade down. Whaley is in a lose-lose in public court for no reason

I don't see them moving, but I also don't see a new stadium; at least not downtown. The most likely scenario is a complete reno at the Ralph. However, the OP is fully correct about the personal finances of WNYers. WNY is a wholly depressed economic area, akin to Cleveland but nowhere near as bad as Detroit. There just isn't many ways to make real money in Buffalo, and as such there isn't a lot of disposable income. How many people are going to buy PSLs? Not many. On top of tickets more than double the price. It's just not in the cards for Buffalo to get a new stadium. And as time passes the next generation is moving in and they are more against publicly funding a billionaire's play palace. In 2024 there will be very little support for a stadium using public funds; not to mention the downstaters not wanting to help fund a Buffalo-based stadium, and NYC wears the pants. Erie County, with maybe 20% from NYS and the NFLs grant program, will go in with the Pegula's on a new no frills stadium near the Ralph or a full on reno. Buffalo is never getting a new state of the art stadium. Ever.

Wow really? You don't think it has anything to do with..oh idk...money? If the league sells more jerseys, they make more money. I thought that was an easy one to figure out, but hey there are people who still think Trump is going to help them, so....
