Queue, I hate it when words are misspelled!

Amen brother! I can't argue with that description of myself. Why else would I choose to cheer for the Mets over the Yankees, the Islanders over the Rangers and of course the Bills over the Giants. I even moved from the NYC area 10 years ago and could have jumped on the Brady bandwagon, life would be so much easier. "Without suffering how could we know joy"?

Yep I have been a Bills season ticket holder for since the 90's and I have been to at least two games per year in Buffalo plus almost every game they play in the Meadowlands and now New England but like you I have never seen the Tide in Tuscaloosa. We might have to make the journey together one year!

If you say so

If you don't understand the difference between getting hit by those outstanding athletes you listed playing with the rules today and what getting completely demolished and very nearly decapitated by the guys I mentioned playing under the 1970's NFL rules you'll never understand why it was so much harder to pass in that era, NOBODY made a living going over the middle before the late 80's.

I grew up in Astoria Queens as a Mets, Jets and Islanders fan. My father and I had Jets season tickets and attended games since I was about 10. In 1983 the Jets owner Leon Hess left New York (he was dishonest in my opinion, its a long and uninteresting story for non-Jets fans) So in 1984 I started cheering for the only team in New York. Since then I became a Bills season ticket holder in 1994 and have attended at least 2 games each year in Buffalo in addition to the road games at the Jets, Patriots and occasionally the Giants. Buffalo has become my beloved vacation home. (A common description I'm sure ). I love the city and region. I now live in Massachusetts and still proudly fly the Bills flag outside my house and on my car. Bill we have almost the same exact story! Including being 'Bama fans for the same reason (I also loved the Snake). My four kids are all die hard (often) Bills fans too,. Loyalty runs deep.

I'm not a fan of Whaley in any way but this seems pretty odd. Fire your GM AFTER the draft and free agency?? Undermining him with McDermott's people isn't a good way either. This guys is going from a defensive coordinator to a guy that makes all the decisions?

Couldn't agree with you more! The other thing I like to point out is that Brady has made a living off these quick over the middle passes. Imagine for a moment he had played in the 70's and Mel Blount, Jack Tatum, George Atkinson, LC Greenwood and co, had been waiting for the receivers playing under those rules. Wes Welker and Edleson and even Gronk wouldn't have lasted one year in the league making those type of catches

My sentiments exactly

I think we devote an entire thread as to what they are going for

It was really ugly Agreed Which is not something I expected with a Rex Ryan defense. If nothing else I expect them to pressure the QB and cause a few turnovers

Let him walk

I agree with everything you wrote except "Bills are smart"

I've imagining things like that since 1998

Agree!

Does anyone know if there is a no-move clause in this contract? Reportedly there was a lot of teams interested in him, why not trade him with this new deal and go get Tony Romo and draft a QB?

Don't be too sure

Its interesting, in fairness to him I think we have better 3-4 guys than we do 4-3 defensive players but to see them get whipped like they did against Pittsburgh, Miami, and the Jets on that Thursday night was beyond excusable. But when you think of a great coach I think about how Bum Phillips once described Bear Bryant ""He can take his'n and beat your'n and take your'n and beat his'n."

I agree but just like the SF offense that went to the Super Bowl, an improved defense would have made passing a lot easier. The effective running game combined with solid defense would have forced teams to devote resources to stopping the run if the Bills were playing with the lead. Which time the first game he did it or the second? smh #bad memories

Or puts tariffs on imported hats! Rolling Stone has far too much journalist integrity to plagiarize! This can be verified by their great work exposing the rape epidemic on college campuses

Even better!!!

As I started to read the post describing the new Rick Dennison offense, with the hope of getting to know an offensive style I didn't know much about I started reflecting back about the last "new" offense the "new" coaching staff tried to bring to Buffalo and tried to sell us as the "fix" for our play-off drought which of course was the one Greg Roman used with the 49ers so successfully and made a star out of Kaepernick. Obviously a lot of unplanned things happened along the way including Taylor beating out EJ, seemingly endlessness injuries to WR's, the addition of McCoy, and eventually the firing of Roman. Yet when you look back at the Bills offense with Anthony Lynn at the helm at the end of 2017 it was a pretty good version of what they produced in SF. Despite the Niners success, there were the same concerns about Kaepernick's accuracy as we have about Taylor. They are pretty comparable as QB's with Taylor being too conservative with his passes at times and Kaepernick too aggressive (and in all fairness probably a slightly better runner, no slight on Taylor who is very good in his own right). The biggest problem for the Bills offense is that they didn't have the 49ers defense. That "ground and pound" with Gore and Kaepernick and those pretty good receivers became even better when defenses cheated up to stop the run. That offense became championship caliber when paired with that very good, if not great, 49ers defense. Its very unfortunate for Bills fans that Ryan couldn't duplicate the success he had early on with the Jets, we might have had a very good, and likely play-off team.

I'll second that but with a name like Juszczyk he was born to be a fullback

Nice

Thanks for the constructive feedback, I agree and its funny because I paused before using the often over used term before deciding to go ahead with it since it would convey the point I was trying to make which is, I don't know that there is a QB available to the Bills that can take them to a play-off game with a reasonable chance to advance further other Absent getting Romo or Brees or Rivers I want the best QB available who can fill in until they develop the next star QB. No I want them to thoughtfully select the best QB available to them with the hope that he is better than we all think he is right now. As an example when Seattle took Wilson, the Raiders took Carr and the Cowboys drafted Prescott. None of them had very high expectations coming out of college but all turned into pretty good QB's. They need to keep drafting QB's until they get it right.
