You guys are real insane, You just don't get it.
This is by far the worst sign that the Bills are leaving Buffalo. This new group with out Bonjovi
Will bid over 2 Billion. They are in it to win it.
Tim Graham confirmed that the Ralph's Will does not Say they can't sell to out of town Bidders.
His Will says they have to sell to the highest bidder. This has been confirmed.
The lease that Ralph signed with Erie County says They can't move until 2022 with a 400 million Dollar buy out.
You guys just don't get it, as Canada's only NFL
Team they stand to make Billions.
They will just pony up the 400 Million and break the lease it's that simple. They will not spend
6 years waiting with empty stands at the Ralph.
They want this team and now that the Bon Jovi
financial handcuffs are off there bid watch out.
Terry Pegula better be prepared to pay over 2 Billion if he wants the Bills. The Canada groups
Face has been rubbed and dragged through
The mud and now there ready to blow all bidders
Out of the water.
I hate to say this but I got a bad feeling.
My stomach is churning and I'm upset.
I do not want my Bills leaving buffalo
It's like this group from Canada has 9 lives
We need to put a silver bullet through there heart
You are real incorrect, Randy Jackson
Your hero Tim Graham sold you out. He says your nemesis group is imploding and will not remain viable.
There's an opt out clause you missed, not 2022.
THEIR group will not purchase the team and proceed to flush 400M down the toilet to move them before the lease expired. You just don't get it.
You don't particularly need a silver bullet to kill a cat. That comment makes me concerned for small pets and any woodland creatures around you.

Ugh. For a second I thought I might actually get some real information...nope.

Hey guys Matthew Coller, this morning, mentions a trade that Whaley made. He say it makes Whaley look pretty good?
What is the trade? Coller and Cich actually never mention it and I couldn't find it here.
The mention is at ~19 minute mark
Sheppard for Hughes. Hughes had a great season with double digit sacks and Shep just got cut.

We will not be signing anyone young. A young QB would have 80% of fans clamoring for him to start in place of EJ immediately
-
It's been reported EJ was Buddy's pick, his sort of swan song in that he wanted to get the BILLS a QB before he stepped down...I'm wondering now if Whaley truly feels saddled with this guy and essentially went all in on EJ hoping to manufacture confidence in the kid so he would perform better and now, feeling like the house of cards is falling down, he's panicking a bit and knows that EJ will make or break this season for the entire team...just a thought
Nix stayed through that draft, precisely so they COULD blame it all on Nix if the pick failed. The dumb move on their part was doubling down on him by trading next year's 1 to get Watkins. That effectively nullified all the rudimentary smoke and mirrors they tried using last year by showing Whaley thinks we can win with EJ.

really looking forward when he's asked about it at today's press conference:
wawrow: coach, it looked like you and doug whaley and russ brandon had a heated conversation on the sidelines this afternoon.
marrone: excuse me?
wawrow: the media could hear you and doug whaley and russ --
marrone: -- oh yeah, we had a great conversation.
(marrone looks away)
chris brown: coach marrone, the upgrade in the back-up quarterback position today indicates that this is a team that is relentless in its pursuit of excellence. as a coach, it must be invigorating to be captaining a ship that may know no bounds, a team that some consider to be on the cusp of greatness.
marrone: yeah, thanks.
tim graham: doug, back to the confrontation on the sidelines --
marrone: -- look, obviously what we do and say in the privacy of a public setting is private.
tim graham: it sounded like voices were raised, particularly when you directed something at doug and russ.
marrone: no, it wasn't directed at them.
tim graham: well, it appeared that you looked right at them when you said it.
marrone: no, it was directed at the team in general.
wawrow: but the team was located 20 yards behind you.
marrone: then it was directed at the world in general. look, obviously, it's the same thing i told the jerry hughes last week. russ and doug are like the jerry hughes of team president-ing and general managing. i wish everyone on the team could president and general manage like them. they're just really special people and true professionals. jerry hughes is a great player with a great attitude -- that much should be clear.
chris brown: coach marrone, a lot of people are saying that this team is going through the inevitable growing pains associated with becoming a legendary squad, maybe even even approaching the greatness of lombardi's packers. couldn't the argument be made not making the playoffs this year could actually be a good -- and maybe even preferable -- outcome?
marrone: thanks, guys.
(marrone exits. locks himself in office. turns off all lights. weeps.)
(chris brown takes shower, scrubbing himself endlessy, after which he feels no cleaner.)
(tim graham settles in for a long night of trolling on twitter.)
(wawrow gets in car, selects "pleased to meet me" from his iphone, cranks it up, slips on sunglasses, drives into sunset.)
the end.

Seems like Goodwin has tried to apologize. He is young man, if you are fan of the team forgive him, move on, and root for him to win.
I fail to see how being a fan means you need to forgive him at all. Completely false logic. I can be a Bills fan and dislike the kid. I don't particularly dislike him, but don't qualify other people's fandom for them.

I check in often. Stopped posting consistently a few years back, but I still check in for info.

I'm sure a competent HC could do it. I'm still holding hope out that Marrone is one, but he has my patience for exactly one more season and that's it. When is the last time we had a REAL HC in town, not someone best suited to be a coordinator? I'm going to say Marv.

I live out of the country. I wish I had a nice HD signal available. Even if they suck, I still love football.

that you are allowed to (obviously within reason) do whatever you want to him, and him having a pretty harmless reply is WAY OUT OF LINE can certainly have those underlying issues. we see it often around here. people think the ticket they bought, or the t-shirt, or simply tuning in on sunday gives them a right to say what they want, that the team owes them explanations of any decisions - heck, read the cordy glenn threads and tell me that some people dont have weird issues with feeling they own the players.
i wasnt saying everyone that was displeased with the entertainment value of the game is in that boat. theres certainly a segment of the fan base that is though, and id bet they were exceptionally loud in their opinions on saturday as far as subsets of the fan base go. as ive said several times, it was a dumb tweet on his part, but theres a lot of "omg how dare he say anything - go back to texas" which seems over the top. someone earlier compared the booing to a shove, and his reaction to shooting people in the face - for instance.
I understand your point a bit better now. To me that's not a sense of entitled ownership, it just boils down to people being keyboard gladiators and wanting to act cool. Most of those people probably rip on people singing in youtube videos. Some people are more hyperbolic than most. At least we can agree that whatever his intent was when posting that tweet, it wasn't well thought out. To think he was going to get anything back from the internet ether other than insults is foolhardy at best.

83 players surveyed. Yeah, it was a really comprehensive sampling...

I posted in the Who Should stay thread, we now LEAD the NFL in DEAD MONEY !
Amazing.
Yet, people on the board still don't connect the dots that this FO needs to go.
I accept that spending money doesn't guarantee success, but wouldn't we all feel better about our OLine with Levitre ?, wouldn't our backup QB situation be better with Vick ?
Somehow we've under spent the cap each of the past few years and still have the most dead money ?
I agree the players that are on this list shouldn't be on this team, but who signed them in the first place to these contracts ?
There is no accountability in this organization.
WOAH! Settle down there. Whaley didn't sign Stevie or Fitz to those contracts. It's really annoying when people make comments that are so obviously based on zero knowledge.

Goodwin isn't a product. He's a person. There's a segment of the fan base that thinks their ticket entitles them to some form of ownership over the players. It's simply not the case. That's not everyone that booed, but there's clearly a segment.
This statement is completely incorrect in multiple parts. Part I- Goodwin was booed for his part in a horrible half of football. There is no form of "ownership" exercised in booing here. People pay money to be entertained and they were not entertained, they were frustrated at seeing a team play with no skill, pride or passion.
Part II- Professional athletes are people in their free time and individual corporations when working. An athlete's twitter is part of their "brand" regardless of what you believe. Does Goodwin have 39k followers because he's a nice guy? No, he has them because he is a football player. Want proof, look at his banner image and his bio info. To say an athlete has a right to say whatever they want on twitter without a backlash is an outmoded way of thinking. If he wanted his comments to be private, he could have used a private twitter account.
No, he said what he said because he wanted to hear people suck up and say they never booed and they support him. In short, he had his feelings hurt and he turned to one of the places in the planet that will absolutely tear you apart and mock you when you ask for sympathy. How do the people who booed assume "ownership" over players for dumping on a player who dumped on them?
-
Dixon comes off as a whiner who likes to shift blame to other people for his failures "you guys should have been louder." Goodwin comes off as a whiny bum. Why should anyone cheer for losers? This isn't pop warner where you get cheers for effort. Fans are plunking down grownup ticket prices for parking and seats, they are not required to make losers feel like winners. If you play like garbage, you should feel like garbage.

I actually think the Oline will be good with Henderson and Glenn on the outside.
-
I feel bad for the guy. Never wished him ill after he left.
-
It would have been better had you been trolling. How about we thank Norwood for missing that field goal because we probably wouldn't have handled success very well too?
-
The author shows his obvious bias, suggesting Morgan Stanley be fired and the owner do things to "raise interest in the team." When you consider his last article posits that the average NFL team is worth 1.43B is certainly seems like he badly wants the team to be sold for a number that is closer to his personal valuation. Why fire the seller after the INITIAL round of bidding? All the first round did was to weed out people who weren't serious contenders and give them a chance to present their plans for the future of the franchise. It's obvious the sale comes with stipulations beyond merely money.
-
OP is ridiculous. Have you ever even been on a team at any level? This is par for the course.

How is "XXX" cool but "L" isn't?

Good question. I'll pick Gilmore.
Me too. Also Woods
