MNF against the 49ers where we lost 35-0. It's was such a joke that the commentators had a tough time watching. It wasn't even a contest and the 49ers stopped trying at half time. There was literally nothing we could do against them.
It was men vs baby girls

Every league commissioner has their own challenge. Baseball needs to make their game more modern without losing it's "classic" appeal. NBA needs to keeps it's players in line and work on the role model image.
NFL has the issue of people not being able to get enough. If we could have football year round, we would take it. There aren't enough players to go around. If there could be a second league that was competitive, it would thrive. Knowing that, he has to balance the money that could be made from the owners push and the health of the players. He has a tough job and I feel that he has overall made more positive changes than negative ones. The "No Fun League" I believe comes from not wanting an NBA image and trying to not get sued so much. The rest is just maximizing exposure while keeping people healthy in a world of very unique owners.
Just my opinion

It takes a special kind of stupid to wake me from my off-season slumber. Kiko stirred me. But you nailed it.

Made it in!
Boom!!!

It's funny, so many people talk about change of ownership and everything else wrong with this franchise. But now that it's actually happened, I don't know what to feel.
It's surreal. Overwhelming. And honestly a little scary. Between this and what's happening with Jim, just not good things happening

I'm all about drafting Murray in the 4th or beyond. Kid played in the SEC, went toe to toe with the best schools and rarely lost because of his play, and just looks the part. I know he's a little short, but I like him a lot as healthy competition.
I'd even be willing to take him in the 3rd
-
Yeah, if it weren't for the but fumble, I'd be okay with him as competition. But oh that fumble...
-
Last year, everyone said we should wait for this draft to get a qb. As it gets closer, who still feels the same? There isn't a Luck or Cam in this draft and I feel like we got a top guy of both drafts, but a year early.
I'm not saying EJ is going to be the man, but based off what we know now, I think we made the right move.
Teddy Bridgewater is the only guy I think is interesting, but he isn't a slam dunk either.

I actually love this deal. Good money. He has something to prove. Knows the Pats. Stops the run. And is humbled by his market and coming here.
And, if he sucks, no real cap hurt.
Touché Whaley

They just signed Tate.
This is hilarious
-
Things like this make me not believe in prayer or God. This man has been nothing but kicked down. I don't care how much money he has. He's been through hell
-
Oh !@#$ No!!!
After Vick and Brady, he's the worst player that could join our team
-
So not only did threads get merged, but the title got changed. That's a first for me.

Bills issue a statement from GM Doug Whaley saying the Bills have been “challenged” in having free agents visit because of today’s blizzard.
Are you kidding me. You've had 3 days to have conversations with these people. Many sign without visits. I mean, you have the ability to check the weather channel right?
I got nothing

It's now been a day and I'm really annoyed. One of the worst rated lineman is our first signing? Guy couldn't make it on the bears (terrible line) and then on the Rams (worse line). Yet he's going to maybe start at LG? The rams have all the money in the world and didn't want him back for that.
I'm sorry. You can't tell me that a Monroe, Ware, Verner, or Dansby wouldn't have made a huge difference on our team. I'm not saying that it's who I wanted. I just want to see a sign of this aggressive plan they have.
Outside of Mario Williams, we haven't made the splash in FA in over a decade. We keep saying we will build for the draft, but then they either don't pan out or we let them walk after 4/5 years. It's the definition of insanity.
Look at Denver. Look at what they built in the past 4 years. They were picking just as low as we were when the took Von Miller. Now look at them. I'm sorry, but it's ownership all the way down.
We are following a plan that requires having great minds working in the FO and great coaches. We haven't proven to have either of those but we expect the same result.
Go Bills
-
Sorry, but what is he saying that's wrong? Anyone who thinks they are good leave on the first train out of here for the chance to win. We've had one winning season in over a decade. We rotate coaches every three years. And oh yeah, we are in probably one of the worst 5 cities in the NFL to make a home. I love Buffalo, but compare it via weather or things to do to the other 31 teams and it doesn't look good.
We have the same plan every offseason, save the random big year of overspending, and we expect a different result.
You can say that you don't have to spend big or early to get better in FA, but that doesn't mean you can't either. Look at Denver so far. Had holes, filling them and filling them well. And if you want to rely on the draft, then you have to have good drafts like the Seahawks or keep them once their 4/5 years are up.
Again sorry, but I don't see a problem with them saying what appears to be true
-
I have no expectations going into this FA signing period, but now that I see the contracts going out, I'm starting to wish we were more active. We have holes on the O-Line and could use upgrades in different spots. To see some of these solid Lineman getting less than 9 mil a year makes me wish we would have jumped in on one of them. Eugene Monroe would be a huge upgrade on our line. Even these DB's are going for less than I thought. Nothing against Gilmore or Leodis, but I'll take Verner any day of the week.
The sky is not falling and I'm not angry, but I'm just surprised at how low the market is and I feel like we are missing out on some good deals that could only make us better
-
Title says it all. Just post the name of the player you think the Bills will sign first. It can't be someone currently on the team.
If you want to be tricky, guess when it will be signed and how much.
Overall, I hope we can make enough signings to fill the bigs holes and allow us to draft best available.
My Pick - Jameel McClain 4 Yrs, 20 mil. Signed tomorrow morning

Was really close with our new D-Line coach. Is great against the run. Plays ILB. Ran, and therefor knows, the Pats D.
Is that not a win on many different levels for us?
-
Outside of the Dolphins game, what did they do? They got run all over game in and game out. And not by studs, by average players. It's a joke how badly we can't stop the run. Yes we get sacks and ints, but only because we sell out on every play. If we don't get the sack or int, they are behind us.
I don't hate the guy, but our d was not what people are making it out to be.
Today's game was a perfect example. They knew where we would commit and just went the other way. We looked like we were being toyed with. We knew the run was coming and couldn't stop it. How is that so great?
-
what reason is there to be optimistic. The power 2 game winning streak? Our amazing D shutting out the dolphins?
-
Have we seen enough of EJ to say that the future is with him or we need to bring in some legit competition (Maybe even 1st round competition)
What's the point of all these sacks and interceptions if you can't stop the run? We may sack the quarterback on first and second down, but give up a 50 yard bomb on third. So what do we fix? We have a monster D-Line and possible the DROY at LB, so what's the fix?
Do we re-sign Carpenter or keep the kid we drafted (To me, it's a no-brainer, but with the Bills....)
What's the deal at WR? We can't exactly just cut Stevie. We just spend a 2nd rounder on Woods. What then, draft a WR and bump those guys down a notch?
Yes, we need a TE, but is that the difference maker on offense?
We had the 3rd best offensive rushing attack, so you can't say our O-Line is that bad. And even if you upgrade a few spots, was that really what was holding us back?
I just don't know what I'm supposed to be hoping for this offseason to get excited for next year....
-
Would you be opposed to drafting a new QB and starting over?
If there was a guy out there that the front office thought could really get them there and he felt strongly about a guy coming out, or a FA, would you be upset?
I love Manuel and I like Marrone. And, I hate constantly rebuilding. But I didn't see anything from Marrone that showed us getting better and a little QB competition isn't going to hurt anyone.
Maybe this is the end of season blues, but I just don't know why I'm optimistic about next year

So !@#$ing sick of Chandler
Does anyone actually think the coaches want to lose, especially this y

When I read all of these threads about EJ being terrible and CJ getting traded, I can only think one thing. That people who think these things assume that the coaches don't want the best players out there and don't care if they win.
IF, and I mean IF, they thought about trading for another QB or benching EJ, it would because they thought EJ couldn't win. If they start EJ, which they are going to, then that means that they believe he will give them their best chance to win.
Same for trading Spiller. If they were going to trade him, then they would have to believe that they have a better rb tandem without him here.
I just refuse to believe that Marrone is sitting back and thinking about how to put the least competitive team on the field. It just makes no sense. Especially this year when we will have a new owner who will want to put their stamp on the franchise. If Marrone can't show that he can win, I think he is gone after this year. Not that I think he should be, but that's how it goes with new owners usually, unless there is a "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." situation.
AND, on the off chance that you think that they are just making dumb decisions by sticking with EJ because he was a first round pick or because CJ is worth more as a 3rd round pick, then just cash it in on this season because the people running the show are idiots and will make way more mistakes throughout the season.
