  1. Unreal... McChoade does something like this between NE and IND and it still comes back to bite the Bills? What kind of Hell is this, lol.
  2. I guess this is a thing? I literally thought that it was as simple as, I could post my thoughts on B-lo, on a B-lo message board and receive responses or opinions on those thoughts. There is much more to this, I guess. I neglected read the 100 posts thing, sorry about that. Otherwise I would not have made a thread, I guess. I read this site daily and have since the BBMB was shut down. I have never had a username because I usually just enjoy reading thorough and thoughtful posts about the Bills but now it seems like it is going to be a huge pain in the ass? Can you point me to the previous thread about the Jets and Broncos bidding on Cousins, the one where Buffalo tries to trade up with Denver? I must have missed it when I posted, and being as there are limited Bills fans in San Diego while I am at work I am curious to express my thoughts on the subject, similar to the way other posters, the ones who are allowed to do so because they have over 100 posts, do so. It would be great to be able to start a feed without multiple replies about me being a new poster or a troll, etc. Thanks admin. Again, sorry, I literally had no idea that there were rules for new posters...
  3. More than anything else, I worry that Buffalo will do like they always do and try to justify their reasoning (to everyone, including the fans, a la the JP Losman draft) if they make a move like drafting someone who is not in their top 3-4 and do so by trading up. This is unpopular and disclaimer I was not an EJ fan however, unlike JP Losman where we reached because we bungled the earlier opportunity such as Roethlisberger*sp , when we picked EJ Manuel (although we most definitely reached), we AT LEAST had the sac to go get the only #1rd Qb in the draft. We literally had our choice and failed. However, we did it at (16ovr, I think?) and we recovered/are trying to recover still. Trading up to make sure we get our guy is not ideal but it beats the hell out of not making a move for the guy you want and then burning draft picks just to grab a Qb because you need to. We need to try and get the guy WE like, whoever that is.
  4. Its almost like he could foreshadow the misery that was forthcoming with the upcoming TD from Bortles to put us away.... I think he's just a really seasoned Bills fan. Ive only been to two games so I made the mistake of thinking we could close out a 3pt lead with 2min left... I should know better, lol.
  5. lmao, that was in London right after the Corey Graham pick 6. Everyone was losing it and then there was him... When I saw it I was dead.
  6. Youre right Dude, this is dumb... Ill take my ball and go home. Gfy Homie. Its a trip that I cant post without people like you trying to question fandom and troll pics for my wife. EAD brother, I hope you enjoy next season. Go Bills
  7. Thanks for the insight DaBillsFanSince1973... I wanted to hear what people thought about maybe starting a false bidding war to get the 5thoverall and block the Jets from Cousins/Drafted Qb (ahead of us)... A post that my lurking self hadn't seen yet. Its too pad my post count wasnt high enough to warrant your football opinion rather just how its not worth responding? Thanks man. Go Bills...
  8. Okay, here we go... Bear with me as this is my first actual post after what seems like an entire lifetime of lurking and questioning whether or not the Bills will finally get 'their guy' or any Qb of the future for that matter. I have never been overly pro-Tyrod (I do love the lack of turnovers after the last few Qbs) however, I was never an anti-Tyrod guy. He gave us the best shot to win at the time (with the argument being whether or not we should have taken D. Watson, last year). However, I think that we handled (at least this year) the situation poorly by not building around his strengths and seemingly highlighting his weaknesses with poor scheme flexibility and inadequate skill players/play-calling. With that being said, we need to move on. Tyrod was never the Franchise but it's too late to decide about it still either way, we never built around him (and if we did, I am not saying he would be successful... We just do not know) so we need to move on plain and simple. Now, with the A.Smith trade yesterday, things may get interesting. Although Smith going to Washington all but ensures Cousins free agency, it is interesting to note the connection between the Jets new offensive coaching staff and Cousins familiarity. I believe that both the Jets and the Broncos would arguably provide the best environment for Cousins which in turn could benefit us very much or hurt us (depending on the Jets draft plans post FA). I am of the opinion that we should find away to grab one of the top four somehow, without jeopardizing next year's first. To do so we would benefit from Denver snagging Cousins in FA. Not only would Cousins open up Denver's first for availability (I would assume) it would allow us to jump the Jets and have arguably the second or third rated Qb on the board. On the other hand, if the Jets somehow snag Cousins, it may open up their pick for business however, the Jets would likely attempt to fleece us if we needed the number six overall for a Qb. That leaves us with the Colts number three and the Browns number four, which will take a fortune to obtain. This is where I will likely lose some people and have people disagree. I think that Cousins is a more than serviceable Qb who will be vastly overpaid as a FA (as they always are). Although, I believe (due to the money he has already made alone) Cousins will ultimately decide to play between the Jets and Broncos, the Bills need to make a competitive offer against Denver and over the Jets. Let me emphasize that I do not prefer Cousins, especially for what will be an ungodly amount of money with the A.Smith extension. Although, in spite of the Jets being forced to gamble on a rookie and Denver ultimately signing Cousins, the Bills would benefit from the gamble. If, and it is a substantial *if, the bidding for Cousins comes down to Denver, NYJ, and the Bills and the Bills out bid the Jets. Cousins will likely choose Denver, we could then trade for Denver's pick and all but ensure blocking the Jet's pursuit of Cousins AND forcing them to select a Qb after us. If not, we can land Cousins (who may work out excellent, or may not. He may be an All-pro or he may be a necessary contract dump in a couple of years due to his extremely front-loaded FA deal this year). Either situation would allow us to block a division rival that, let's be honest was much better than we thought and a Qb away from replacing us as a Wildcard team. Let me know what you all think?
