  1. Whoever is the BPA on the OL or DL. These positions are the easiest to forecast future success at the NFL level. Figures they've missed baddy with highly picked OL and DL in the past.
  2. Better to say goodbye a year too early than late. He's not a unique talent at this point of his career.
  3. Media types have been saying Golden Tate was going to command a lot of money, but I don't see it. If he takes a fair market deal, I think he'd be a great slot target for Adams. He's physicality and YAC could open other areas of the offense up.
  4. What do Fred Jackson, Priest Holmes, Arian Foster, our own Ivory and Lindsay have in common? Talent is out there. I think Josh Adams is next on that list, too. They need to get lucky. If teams had the slightest idea Lindsay was going to be this good he would not have made it past rd. 3. Bills need just good old fashion luck.
  5. Gross hyperbole at it's finest...
  6. McCoy has 0 value. I've been saying this all year. I don't know why our fan base thinks any different? I think the best the organization could hope for is a conditional 5th or 6th round pick. He's paid as an elite talent, and he's nowhere near that anymore. The time has come where the burden of his attitude and ego do not out weigh his talent. He's just not aware of it yet. Contrary to what a number of people think he's not a good "locker room" guy. On a crap team where he's the alpha, he can fake it. He's not a character high talent individual you want the younger players on the roster to emulate. Cut the loss and bid him farewell. Draft a high production SEC or Big Ten RB in the 2-4 rd, and bring in some UDFAs that had bad luck their senior year like Adams and Clement W/the Eagles. Hopefully hit on one of these lotto tickets. In addition sign Yeldon or Coleman as FA and see if they can get some traction that way.
  7. He's had his window to show he can start, he failed. Nothing wrong with 10+ year career as a spot starter and good QB room presence. He flamed out in Philadelphia, Chicago and Cincinnati. If his agent is any good and he has a level head on his shoulders, if Buffalo gives him a contract past this year he'd be crazy not to sign it.
  8. Well, you used gross hyperbole to relate two topics that are not connected. I haven't read one post that didn't think what he did wasn't wrong.
  9. This has nothing to do with politics. But if I was to pick sides on who would traditionally line up where, I think it would look like this: Far right: lock him up and throw away the key, punish him into perpetuity Far left: poor kid, he didn't mean it, he been oppressed Most rational people know that's an idiotic way of looking at things. How does what you posted relate in any fashion to this discussion? But idiots like you want to politicize everything. Not everything is black or white, pun intended (simply defined one way or another). A lot of shades of grey here.
  10. Hopefully he's a lot smarter then Ben. He needs to stay off motorcycles and out of seedy bathrooms and not force women to do things against their will.
  11. Tyron's Friend: I make the comparison to Rice because every media outlet has made the comparison and I don't see it. We agree on McCoy, get him out of here. But he isn't, so why not Hunt? Hypocrisy runs rampant in all avenues of sport, especially the NFL. This team is entertainment, nothing more. And they've done a pretty crappy job at it for the past 20 years. I'm not looking for the Bills set an example of moral high ground. I know what's right and wrong and teach my children such. If you don't think players already on the current roster haven't done the same if not worse, you're taking a naive view of things. Why do you watch the NFL at all? He's 23 and obviously very immature. Like I originally said, in this situation it takes two for it to have escalated to the point it did. Sometimes people need guidance and positive influence. Who's to say the holy rollers within the organization couldn't "save" this young man. I've seen enough domestic matters to know the woman isn't always the damsel in distress. Not PC, but I don't care. If that was my daughter I'd be disappointed in her, too. Is it ever right to hit a woman, no. But I also was fortunate to have been raised in an environment that stressed what was right/wrong and didn't have to rely on certain survival mechanisms. I think of Warren Buffett in his documentary when he stated he was lucky to be born male, white and into a good family. He'll pay the price, more so then the average Joe. Why can't the Bills help this young man and entertain us in the process?
  12. After watching the video I don't see the comparison to Ray Rice. Was he in the wrong and a total idiot? Yes. It takes two, and this young lady was instigating the process every step of the way. The Ray Rice video was in another league in comparison. He was cut because he lied to the organization on the severity of the altercation. He'll pay the price, but compared to Big head Ben, Mixon, Hill, Hardy, or take your pick of FSU QBs, he'll be claimed. Why shouldn't it be the Bills? The roster isn't full of choir boys. If he gets help and can show he's doing everything the right way it's a low risk acquisition. Football is entertainment, as we've seen, the industry is cesspool. We shouldn't bank on them on being a societal moral compass. McCoy is on this team, enough said.
  13. I see them walk in, the first thing I do is look to my phone to see if the the defense apposing any one of them is available on the waiver wire in my fantasy league. Pick 6, BABY!!!
  14. If Sammy had/has an "ego" problem, the Bills as always had a talent evaluation and value problem. Sammy is none of those guys. 5+ years in the league, where coaches jobs are on the line week to week, if he was that good they'd find a way to get him to produce.
  15. You have to see if he's interested, though I doubt he'd sign here. From a skill-set standpoint he has all the tools. Sammy sleaves is either heading back to Minnasota or New York.
  16. You have to see if he's interested. From a skill-set standpoint he has all the tools. Good in the QB room and insurance if Allen is not who they think he is.
  17. For the entertainment factor, I'm in. If can't score TDs on the field lets see if we can have some fun in others ways. After all, I do have to keep reminding myself this is entertainment no matter how much torcher rooting for this team is.
  18. Sanchez isn't available?
  19. Good. They should be looking at all options. Get him in and see if he can build rapport with Allen for the rest of the year. Great upside for a #2 who can stretch the field and make a D pay that doesn't respect his speed and physicality.
  20. SC is still a thing? So you're the one who still watches that crap. You see see any reference to the Bills here? https://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=trust+the+process+shirt&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=229199434750&hvpos=1t1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=445979796719696696&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=t&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007370&hvtargid=kwd-306224386526&ref=pd_sl_9bp1debmym_e_p37 As others have stated it's 100% 76ers and Sam Hinkie
  21. Nobody mentions that he beat his old team. Who's to say he wouldn't have won with the Raiders? Dungy was a good coach, something was missing with that team and Gruden brought it. Tampa got really old quick, and didn't have the 1st rd picks to reload. Ego then did him in.
  22. Great pick-up for the Lions, former All-Pro. Should show a bunch of people on here what the value of draft picks is compaired to players.
  23. Green Bay doesn't normally look to FA to add to the roster talent. They were known for not signing FAs and doing their roster upgrades strickly through the draft. The Bills can't rely on cap space to fix this mess. Most good FAs are locked up before they hit the market. A few exceptions can be made to that rule, but most of the time injury history and age play a pivotal role in why they're available. I've never understood front offices that had to have "their guys"? I think the sign of good coaching and personnel people is making the puzzle pieces you have work, adapting your scheme to the strengths of the roster.
  24. Not until McMahon showed up on that BS penalty on a 3rd down sack. Officials bailed GB out big time. That's not the QBs fault.
  25. I didn't write the post to start a movement of panic and to run Allen out of town. I'm just concerned we haven't seen more to cling to, a defining moment as a passer, a spark that we can pull hope from and kick back like Aaron Rodgers and just RELAX. I appreciate people referencing all-time great QBs and some early struggles they had, but were in a different league now. WIth the NFL stealing plays from the college game we're seeing guys compete and be competent year one and two. I just don't see players given three years to make it anymore. If it hits the three-year mark and the jury is still out, the HC and GM are given the boot most likely if a corner hasn't been turned. I just hope we're able to see a marked improvement moving forward.
