  1. O-line is a disgrace. Why sign Groy and start Ducasse?

    Why is Mills in the NFL? If the wanted to rest Glenn until Tampa then why dress him this week?

    Dawkins is much much worse than CK.

    The run scheme blows too.

    I find it extremely weird how when a lot of you guys speak badly about the O-line you manage to miss out on badmouthing Incognito.

     

    C. Kouandjio was not garbage by the way. Was good pass blocking.

  2. gotta deal with it - ain't changin'

     

    You think it's solely health that's limiting his playing time?

    No. I think the staff is trying to drive home the message to him that commitment to this new culture and production wins out.

     

    I think that along with him not being a full go is why he isn't seeing more action.

     

    60-40 Discipline -injury.

     

    When fully healthy I think he's incorporated into the defense more and more. They've already driven home the message that it's all about production/commitment, nothing will just be given due to your big name, and that the team can win without you.

  3. Of course I would change my tune if Dareus turned things around and played with some heart like he use to. There is no sense in paying a guy 100 million dollars for ~20ish snaps a game. Especially when he doesn't do much of anything during those ~20ish snaps. He is the most well rested defensive tackle in the league and he makes zero plays.

    My point exactly.

     

    So how about waiting to see if he gets extended playing time when healthy and what he produces before completely turning on him?

  4.  

    Yup defense didn't miss a beat without him so why pay him 100 million dollars?

     

    No but I did feel it would be far better than Rex Ryan. What does that have to do with Dareus... needless to say the great start has pretty much happened without him so again why tie up the cap resources?

     

    Call the McD hiring? What does that have to do with Dareus.

     

    I have plenty of room to be dismissive of a guy eating up cap space that has no ambition to play football.

     

    I think they do to and all signs point to him not being on the team next season.

     

     

    And how exactly did you determine that Dareus has zero ambition to play football?

     

    Only reason I bring up the McDermott hiring is because I know that many of the people who are all onboard now with this 3-1 start, scoffed at the idea of hiring McDermott in favor of more notable options.

     

    A lot of times people see the benefits in a thing only after it becomes very obvious.

     

    Those calling for a Dareus-dump right now would likely change their tune with positive results from a healthy Dareus under the new regime, much like people have about McDermott and the team's direction after the 3-1 start.

     

    Not saying this new regime doesn't continue to clean house and wash its hands clean of Dareus, but the calls for a talent like him to be traded as soon as a week from now without even seeing if he's gotten the message from the new guys is absolutely absurd and hasty.

  5. He had a sore ankle in week two. Big deal. We are on to week 5 and the D hasn't missed a beat without him.

     

    I turn on high dollar players that don't perform. Yes getting suspended is part of it. Next suspension is 10 games minimum for him. Dareus has been a problem for every coaching staff this team has had. Isnt worth the cap space when you can spend the money on multiple players that play hard.

    Of course a sore ankle is no big deal to you because you're not standing on it. The defense hasn't missed a beat without him because he doesn't make the defense by himself.

     

    Did you even call for this great start at the beginning of the season?

     

    Did you even call the McDermott hiring like I did?

     

    If no, I don't think you have any room to be so dismissive of what Dareus has to offer to this team.

     

    I think the coaching staff understands the talent he is better than you do.

  6. You all are nuts if you think Dareus can't still wreck sh** on the field. I don't know where people get this "Dareus is lazy" crap from. He's very effective and is a huge asset on defense. He just needs to show professionalism and maturity when away from the field.

    He hasn't been an asset on the field at all this year. Our defense has been dominant without him.

    What?

     

    He hasn't been healthy.

     

    The defense becomes that much more of a problem with him. You don't let him go just like that. The sack totals will only increase with a healthy Dareus in the lineup.

     

    You guys turn on talented players who run into a little trouble in a heartbeat even when they are contributors much like you'll lose faith in the team entirely after a loss until the next win.

    There was absolutely no holding on Richie. And of course TT immediately morfs into stupidity. Throw the damn ball away. Now no fg...

    You're either blind or simply just a liar. That was a hold on Incognito, just not a blatant one. Incognito also got bullrushed into Taylor for the sack. Incognito is the stupid one and he's also overrated.

    is he available? He is a gamer. Does his best at gametime so hard to judge in pre season. Worth a look...

     

     

     

    Preseason is precisely where you judge him. Are you basing your he does "his best at gametime" comment from his Clemson games?

     

     

    Just call it straight, the dude isn't an impact player or scary in the NFL regardless of his menacing, gonna-start-a-barroom-fight physical appearance that he established in college.

  9. I think the surprise cut on saturday might be Lorenzo Alexander. I'm not sure he fits into the scheme McCoach wants to run. I haven't heard his name called at all in the three preseason games. Who do you think might be the surprise cut?

    I doubt it, Alexander was mentioned as being one of the leaders McDermott was counting on to guide the younger players. But that would be a surprise.

     

    I'd say Logan Thomas because they talked so much about his upside.

     

    A more shocking one that could happen, but I hope doesn't, is Nick O'Leary being cut.

    It's the National Anthem. Stand and show your respect. It's not a time to call attention to yourself or whatever your individual cause is. This is probably the only time you will hear that guys name other than on the cut list. If you don't know what to do during the National Anthem look at Eric Wood in the photo.

    I swear if any Bills player doesn't stand for the National Anthem and the team does nothing about it I will not support this team any longer.

    Who is with me?

    FU & STFU
  11. I like the signing. He used to throw to an explosive receiver who I believe still plays in the NFL (his name just escapes me) and Jordan Williams. He put up big numbers at Ball State.

     

    I think it's a solid signing. Hopefully his play at Ball State translates to success this time around in Buffalo.

     

    Still pulling for my guy Nathan Peterman, but Wenning could prove to be a really solid pickup.

  12. I actually hadn't watched Mahomes when I formed the opinion that he "looks good" in his preseason play in a thread I recently started, I was going off of his preseason stats, so essentially I was merely stating that his numbers look pretty good.

     

    Just looked at his throws in both preseason games for the heck of it last night, and I'm reminded of why I preferred Nathan Peterman in a later round, over Mahomes with the 10th pick, or in any round with both still available.

     

     

    Someone stated that drafting Nathan Peterman in the 3rd or 4th rd., where I felt he could've gone, would've been a reach; the Chiefs and Andy Reid got their guy, but I definitely think they reached for Mahomes, especially considering what they gave up to move up to get him.

     

    Despite the success Mahomes has had in the preseason, and he may be an extraordinary talent, he just looks awkward and very un-NFL QB at times after the snap.
