  1. I was there and I didn't really notice it until you pointed it out in your initial post. definitely just 60,000 people basically racing to their cars to get out of there and get home.... very business trip like.

     

    for me though it had more to do with the fact that we played what looks to be an awful team. I went in knowing there wasn't really much they could do while beating them that would get me all too excited.

    I was there too, and I think it had more to do with the quality of the opponent. Everyone knew and expected that we would beat the Jets.

  2. If the Bills shut down the Pathers run game Bills will win by 10

    Cam is a shell of him self 178 yards passing against the 49ers. His shoulder is not right. He was sailing passes all day. Shut the Pathers run down and the Bills will win. You heard it here first. Plus Sean knows this team like the back of his hand. Bills are headed to a 3-0 start.

    I heard it somewhere else first, but I hope you are right. And have you considered changing your handle? I can't stop seeing Bills Bareback, no matter how many times my eyes show it to my brain as bills are back.

  3. If this place were to be shutdown, god forbid, I would band together with the lowest common denominator of TBD and we would go find another Bills site and spam them to high hell with as many terrible new threads as we could muster. And when everybody inevitably calls us on our idiocy, I would be all like "whatever, dude. You should get a life or something cause I don't care about nothing man!" until I was banned. And then rinse, wash, repeat as necessary.

    well played sir.

  4. Do I need a restraining order for you and Auggie? If you don't like what I post why respond. I don't respond to anything you post and if I do its about what you post. I don't care who don't like me I know you, Aug goes, and there's another 26 something you guys love me. I really have three fans on this board. I'll be in Buffalo for the Denver game. Maybe I'll give you three a autograph. As a matter of fact I dare you to put me on your ignore list.

    If you don't like the company, you could consider another Bills board.

    I'm happy to admit that this board is a big enough part of my life that I hate seeing it cluttered by garbage or LAMP threads.

  5. I liked what I saw in him, and I suspect it came down to a very close call between him and J will.

     

    As for your question about why some say he stinks and doesn't compare to MG, I think you know the answer. It stems from the seeming desire of some fans to blindly bash whatever the Bills do to make themselves feel important on a message board, to rile up others fans of the team, or it's some kind of bizarre psychological defense mechanism. I lean towards the latter myself.

     

    And don't throw any facts out there like you did. It only makes their affliction worse.

    MG has proven that he can play at the pro level. It's still TBD on Banyard.

  6. There's genuinely a lot to be optimistic about with the new regime in place. The organization has made a good deal of impact moves and I agree with all but one, and that one may still pay off in the end.

     

     

    There were three major moves that happened during the offseason that I was all over:

     

     

    1. The signing of Sean McDermottt as the Bills head coach after the departure of Rex Ryan.

     

     

    2. The drafting of Nathan Peterman.

     

     

    3. The drafting of a potential No.1 receiver to replace Sammy Watkins with.

     

     

     

    The Bills look pretty horrid this preseason with all the penalties mounting game after game, but I chalk that up to not having the undisciplined play established while under Rex Ryan being flushed out of the system of the players completely yet. It's only been two games but it takes time for a team with bad habits to take up a new coach's identity and morph into the team that he envisions.

     

    With Sean McDermott and this new coaching staff, it's only a matter of time before the culture change is complete, the team begins adapting to the new style of play, and positive results begin to show.

     

     

    Nathan Peterman.

     

     

    With all the talk about QB's this offseason it was a delight to see a guy you coveted actually get selected in the draft.

     

    With the way things ended in Buffalo this past season, there was a bunch of uncertainty at the QB position.

     

    Had we seen the last of Tyrod Taylor?

     

    Was Cardale Jones the guy?

     

    Which QB should the Bills draft in 2017?

     

     

    Of course as things played out, Tyrod returned, Cardale Jones was traded to the L.A. Chargers and former Bills coach Anthony Lynn, and Nathan Peterman was selected in the 5th rd.

     

     

    Some fans fear that Cardale Jones will blossom under different coaching and a cannon arm with potential, would have walked away for next to nothing in return.

     

    Time will tell what Cardale Jones really has to offer as a QB, but I don't share those same fears, because as I stated before the NFL Combine process, Senior Bowl Weekend, and the NFL Draft, Nathan Peterman is already the better QB between himself and Jones if Cardale hasn't made many any strides from the previous season. I even went on to state that Peterman has qualities, as a rookie, that surpass that of Tyrod Taylor right now.

     

    He was the QB I preferred if the Bills passed on Mitch Trubisky, DeShaun Watson, and DeShone Kizer in the 1st rd., preferring him over Patrick Mahomes III, who the Bills ironically helped the Chiefs land by trading out of its original draft spot.

     

    I must admit Mahomes has looked good in the preseason, but so has Peterman's accuracy, pocket awareness, decision-making, and poise as a rookie. I bet people's eyes are being opened now to what Peterman brings to the table.

     

     

    The Sammy Watkins trade was a shocker, but it was a move that I understood completely.

     

     

    Regardless of how Watkins' career pans out with the Los Angeles Rams, the decision was solid.

     

    For a long time I thought the Bills needed to bring in a wide receiver who would not just complement Watkins, but could outright replace him as the team's No. 1 receiver and I think the Bills finally have that in Zay Jones. Not as heralded out of college as Watkins was out of Clemson, but I think his ability along with his intangibles will prove him to be the receiver fans hoped Watkins would be when drafted No. 4 in 2014. The injuries, made the trade make sense, the potential contract situation given his history of injuries made it make sense, and the fact that I always felt the Watkins was a slightly overrated impact player for the Bills made the trade make sense...at least to me.

     

     

    The only move I'm somewhat skeptical about is the trade of Ronald Darby to the Philly, and man was my Skept-O-Meter going crazy after he intercepted Tyrod Taylor and nearly returned it for a TD. Luckily E.J. Gaines, the DB who was nabbed along with an extra 3rd rounder returned the favor later in the game. So I'm a little more hopeful that McDermott and the Bills coaching staff know something about E.J. Gaines that most Bills fans' probably don't.

     

     

    All in all, a very good off-season.

     

     

    The addition of Sean McDermott, Nathan Peterman, Zay Jones, stud rookies from last season returning healthy, solid trades/FA signings, and a slew of additional 2018 draft picks, things are finally looking up for the Bills

     

     

    This time, for real.

     

     

    No better time to reverse the Bills fortune than by winning this upcoming 2017 season. Go Bills!

     

     

     

     

     

     

    sorry guys i don't agree with one of the trades they were not even and if we trade them its going to get worse and both players are free agents BEANE NEEDS TO GO IMMEDIATELY now boldin retiring bad move by the front office and all coaches they won't make the palyoffs for another 20 years ALL THE WRONG MOVES NOT GOOD FOR THE FRANCHISE WHO IS GOING TO come to buffalo in free agency not many

    I feel like maybe these 2 are actually the same poster who suffers from multiple personality disorder.

  7. Part of me thought the bills were in re build mode after the trades last week, but you don't stop practice in the middle of it and yell at your team for not practicing well if you're in "tank" mode.

    I think that happened because everyone was half assing it after Black Friday. He is probably worried he is going to lose ths locker room before the 2nd preseason game.

    Doesn't hurt, but it's ironically our QBs strong suit, so much for fitting the scheme to your players. But what I am worried about is that it requires a QB that can lead his receivers, throw them open, and execute timing routes. I don't know how this is going to work for TT.

  9. With all the doom and gloom. With all the OMG it's a full tank. With all the people in this place that want to jump off a bridge. This is the place for everyone that is happy that Sammy is gone.

     

    I'll be first. I don't hide it. Never have. I've hated Sammy here since he cost us 2 first rounders. Hated him even more when he called out the Buffalo Fans. Calling us "losers" and saying we have "little jobs". Hated him even more when he kept getting hurt. Not injured, Hurt and refused to play through pain.

     

    I for one am extremely happy he's off this team. I am even more happy we got a WR that has outperformed with less support than Sammy has had. Happy we got a 2nd rounder back in the trade. Happy we ended up with a CB to replace Darby that is probably just as good and with the same upside going forward. And of course again with another pick.

     

    This isn't a tank. If it was we would have just doubled up on draft picks instead of asking for players in the trades. This is not a tank because we still have McCoy, Taylor, Hughes, Dareus, Wood, Kyle. This is not a tank or we wouldn't have signed Boldin in the first place. Boldin and Mathews both outperformed Sammy in the last 3 seasons.

     

    This is a thread for those that think it's hilarious that everyone is in full meltdown mode. This is a thread that enjoys the fact that we not only have players that can and will compete this season, but are finally ready to rock and roll come next years draft. Let's hope the Pegulas are paying a lot of money to scouts this season to figure out what QB we are going to draft next season of Taylor doesn't improve significantly. And chances are, they will draft one anyway.

    Why would you hate Watkins for Whaley's trade? And for the "little jobs" stuff, that was directed at the folks who were harassing him on Twitter. Unless you were one of them, I don't think it was directed at you. There is an odd subset of Bills fans who are clearly insecure about their lives and feel this way, it's fascinating.

    As for the trade itself, I get it. Not sure it's going to work out, but I guess there's only one way to find out....
