You're a breath of fresh air on here. It's nice to know the board has fans that get it and see things outside the confines of western NY. Agree with you 100%

Early reaction from some Eagle fans: Anyone Hear That FOP Guy On WIP This Morning? Does not want Shady here at all said Seth Williams the Ex DA who is in jail now possibly took bribes or was friendly with Shady to drop the case against him with the big nightclub fight in which police were involved. He said he stiffed bartenders and waitresses regularly and hung out with alot of bad people here and name was always brought up alot with police. It was an interesting take.

There were actually times when I was glad he wasn't here anymore. Moving on from him wasn't a DJacc-level mistake, and didn't require a smear campaign. Who could forget this? DJ @DonaldTrump on the 1's and 2's . Special invited guests @RexRyan , @chipKelly ,@Rogergodell , my man Barack .oprah, Carli Llyod , and even that terrible waiter with the awful service from the burger joint is invited. Don't bring your Id because there won't be any alcohol anyway. Open smoothie bar all night tho . Don't worry bout the confidentiality agreement. No only are ladies invited but everyone is invited , except hulk hogan he can't come . Maybe even @meekmill and @drake will hit the stage together .

They won last year because of OL and DL, and subsequently, they're a year older and coming off a deep playoff run and struggling. You're correct, Clement and Smallwood could hold it down with a decent OL.

All you have to do is listen to Jason Kelce's speech to figure out what happened to Howie during Chips run.

No, the odds are better you've not subjected to the second rate local media covering the team. I love the Bills, but I find it painful how out of touch the fan base is, like a 2nd and a 3rd is possible. Pitchforks and torches should have been out on One Bills Drive 10 years ago. The ownership (mostly previous obviously) group has taken full advantage of this fan base. The Bills are the Browns "light", and in some part, we've let the oligarchs get away with feeding us a crappy product.

QB vs RB. It's really that simple.

I don't see the correlation? A transcendent player in his prime with many more years to create havoc vs. a guy with maybe a year left. I wish I lived in the la la land of local Bills fans. You guys need to get out more.

They called to see if they were ready to throw in the towel and be taken advantage of. I don't consider a 5th rd pick worth it, a conditional one at that.

He's on the wrong side of 30, owed a decent amount of money and a known scumbag around the league. No chance of the 3rd or a 4th. Too many of you are emotionally tied into the guy thinking he has value. I'm sorry to say he doesn't. I wish they could get what some of you think they could. It's entertaining how most of you are trading players like you're in Madden.

John Clayton was on the air here. The best the Bills can hope for is a conditional 5th according to the experts and other former GMs. He doesn't have the value most of you think. Being the tallest little person at the circus doesn't increase his real-world value. Just keep him at this point to help develop Allen. Howie Roseman isn't a sucker. He's normally the one doing the fleecing.

The guy is awful. Failed at both tackle positions. This would be one of those rare occasions with this team where we'd witness subtraction by addition if acquired.

I agree with you 100%, that is why I never was in sell the farm mode to move up. We could have had the foundational building blocks to help put a young QB in a much better position. This team always seems to be in reactionary mode, never being proactive, or paving their own path. Maybe in 3-5 years, they'll realize the game has been rigged to be a passing league, but by then who knows where the focus will be? In one aspect I feel bad for this new leadership group because they're paying for the sins of their fathers, but in this NFL teams are turning it around in 1-2 seasons with good coaching and leadership from above. So after this year, they'll have no excuses.

When we're four games and looking to dumpster dive, that sums up the life of a bills fan for the past 18 years. I firmly believe a contingent of intelligent fans that would partake in a democratic process of player selection and scouting would have done a far superior job than the revolving door of sub-par upper management that's gone through here. Too bad the Bills aren't like the Packers, we could have orchestrated a coup and set this team on track, or the very least improved the draft hit rate.

I was out of town when Owens was with the Bills. I know he was injured during his year here, why did they not sign him past his one year? I always liked him. Even with his antics here in Philadelphia. Someone needed to call out McNabb and his passive aggressive ways. The guy was clean off the field, a little eccentric yes, but that's why the coaches and front office people are paid big $, to make the puzzle pieces fit. I thought he was going to be a good addition for the team and bring some national attention to the Bills.

He covered him by default. Just because he was the #1 on the Bills, doesn't mean he was anywhere else. Stevie came up real small in some big spots.

0-3. Did little to nothing to capitalize on his opportunities. Probably a good smart kid, just not physically gifted enough to be in the league. No shame in that.

He does have that Julian Edelman look. Would follow his footsteps nicely in being a former QB in that slot role. Franklin choked that game away last night. He's an awful 4th quarter big game decision maker, chicken choker. I feel bad for that kid, he did everything he could to win that game.

They can wish all they want for a package like that. Every week he doesn't play his value get less and less.

Is Dez any better than KB at this point? I see them as the same type of WR at this point, big and physical (KB's former rep), but not adept and totally lacking in the other areas of being a complete WR.

Moulds. Sad to say it, 16-18 years void of a true #1 is sad. Other guys had borderline talent of a #1 but didn't do what Moulds could for other players in the offense. I remember him as being T.O. light for a couple of years. To me, a true #1 is elite in a couple of different traits/characteristics of the position. I see a bunch of guys good at one aspect of being a WR, but somewhat one dimensional. Sad that they gave up two 1st round picks on Sammy. So stupid to copy the Falcons and not have a Ryan to get him the ball. Sammy was good, but 2/3s of a season doesn't warrant status as a true #1. Not a one hit wonder. A true #1 will produce even though the D knows the ball is coming his way and have game planned for him.

? Cory Clement isn't chopped liver. I forgot about Bennett. Certainly, some duds there. Not PSU bad though. Have you seen Taylor play? I'd say he's the best of the bunch that will have come from Madison. Also, my guess is Wisconsin has at least two guys on that line that would push for playing time on this roster NOW. My comment was said in jest. Highlighting you could have 3-5 future impact players for what Bell would cost for maybe two elite years. I'd also like one of the Watt siblings, but our luck would be that we get the Casy Matthews version. "Taylor set a major college record for a freshman with 1,977 yards last year, finishing sixth in the Heisman voting."

Sure! That's really a good idea. Seeing how no other team has given a RB quarterback money. ? Tackles and top tier DEs are where you want to spend your money. The Bills have paid McCoy top RB money the past couple of years, it's not worth it.

And two years older when he suits up for his new team. Football while not fair pays for future production, not past. Baseball and basketball teams dig themselves in deep holes with unproductive players/dead weight. He's getting really bad advice from his representation. He will not be able recoup the money he's losing this year, even if he signs a top line deal in 2019. My Bills wish list: Draft Wisconsin linemen and their RB. We'll be saying Le'Veon who?

He had a good year, but I think 200 yards most games is a stretch. He's not worth it on multiple fronts.

And to think multiple mouth breathers here think McCoy could garner anything higher than a 6th rd pick at this point. Why would any team give up such an asset to have the privilege to pay a guy 15-16 million per year? RB is a commodity position, for 1/5 the price you can get 90% the production.
