  1. I don't, at least not higher than Whaley. Whaley hasn't had any terrible drafts, and McKenzie had two really bad ones in a row. Whaley has found talent in every draft he's been here, and Nix too. I'm not saying Whaley is a god, but man, the Bills FO has brought a ton of talent here since Nix/Whaley showed up. McKenzie did find a QB in round 2, so that is making his whole team better. Amari Cooper and the LB from Buffalo were two of the biggest "can't miss" picks at their position in recent memory IMO
  2. RIP Britt. You can donate to her foundation here: https://www.crowdrise.com/brittandtonysfightli/fundraiser/brittanyburns
  3. So yeah, he has stage 4 throat cancer. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14577195/espn-senior-nfl-analyst-chris-mortensen-throat-cancer-taking-sabbatical-treatment However, if you Google Chris Mortenson slurred speech and/or stroke, it goes back years. I found stories in 2010 and 2012. It's supposition, but you have a possible alcoholic who after years of drinking, got cancer in his throat. That's my takeaway. It's like how Oxycontin can cause loss of hearing, oh and look, Rush Limbaugh needed a cochlear implant.
  4. Hopefully the Bills are done giving big contracts after 1 big year of performance (Fitzmagic anyone?). We managed to lock up Jerry Hughes. If TT continues to perform, I expect Whaley to do the same with Tyrod.
  5. Really? The talent on this team is orders of magnitude better than it has been since the SB years. We haven't seen QB play like that since Kelly (not comparing to Kelly). And our O is good. Now we need to fix the D, which I have faith Rex can next year. If he can't...well, on to the next one We tweak the D and ad a #2 WR with some LB help and we have a very good team (if they resign Glenn and Incognito).
  6. Whaley is the best GM we've had since Polian. This is great news.
  7. There are reports saying his ankle has been/is injured. Probably from that weird fall/tackle in the Miami game? Or was it the Patriots. Can't remember. Anywho...glad to see they let him loose in the 4th quarter.
  8. It started with Buddy and it's being tied up nicely with Doug Whaley. This team has oodles of talent, we have a 2nd round pick as the AFC Defensive Rookie of the Month and a 5th round running back running lights out and a 3rd rounder as our starting RG. You can nit-pick all you want, but this team is better than it has been in a long, long, long time. Now with ownership that will actually pay to retain talent, you can see things are looking up.
  9. I will be there as well. Staying with friends in London. Should be fun to watch Marrone on the Jag's sideline with Rex as our coach
  10. Just want to let Bill know that (besides the Buffalo Bills Twitter news feed), this is the thing I always look forward to Monday mornings...even when we lose. In fact, I think the mods should pin these every Monday.
  11. C'mon, Chip traded Bryce because he's black. At least that's what McCoy said.
  12. Wait, I thought Buddy was cheap? I mean Ralph...
  13. It's the only way to make cap room for Dareus? That is the only thing that lets me wrap my head around this. Best case scenario is that Freddy isn't picked up by another team and is resigned by the Bills at a lower salary.
  14. "que [sic] the complete emotional over reactions" is BY FAR, my new favorite phrase. Que ROFL!!!!!!!!! It almost makes letting FJ go worth it.
  15. Buddy Nix brought in an obvious upgrade in talent, and I don't know what to tell people who don't see it. Hell, just signing Mario and drafting Dareus should make people happy. And he convinced the NFL that Cordy Glenn was a guard for crying out loud LOL. And Gilmore is good. Torell Troup was awful, but you can't win them all.
  16. We have a lot of talent on this team. In fact, our drafting has been good enough to let Kiko Alonso go so we could get Shady McCoy. The Bills have been very good under Whaley in picking up talent in the draft, and also combing the waiver wire. Now we're filling in holes and are in a great position to go BPA in the draft. Yes, we're looking for a franchise quarterback. And we missed on Russel Wilson...as did all 3other NFL teams including the Seahawks until the 3rd round. But there hasn't been an obvious franchise QB since Luck came out.
  17. Only RB's with more receiving yards were LeVeon Bell and Matt Forte.
  18. Freddie is everything you want in a player. Hard worker. Team leader. Had the 3rd highest total for receiving yards of running backs in 2014. Not on the team...in the NFL. THIRD. Led the team in rushing behind a very suspect line. Who cares about is YPC. He beat Spiller. Who cares about his age. He still has it. Freddie gets 4 yards when he should get two. Great blocking on 3rd down. I can't tell you how many times I would yell at the TV "I love you Freddie" because he just gives you more than the play was going to get. Did the FO forget that stiff-arm during the Bears game? Someone mentioned Freddie getting injured...he has always come back from injuries sonner than expected. And you're gonna (potentially) cut him for Bilal Powell? Really??? Bilal. Powell. Oi. Glad Pegula (supposedly) stepped in. He's not saying Freddie needs to start. But the fans were right on this one, in my book. There are some things you can't measure, and that's what Freddie brings.
  19. Actually, his white board session with Mariucci was pretty good. I'm not saying he's likeable, but he has talent. But will his attitude problems kill his career or not? Who knows...
  20. Actually, the Buffalo Bills logo design is pretty good. Clean and classic. And I'm in the design business for a living. People have all sorts of design opinion, and many of them suck. Exactly. Just what we want, something that looks like a cow's skull for our logo. EDIT: I actually looked this dude up (Designer Matt McInerney), and he's a real designer. Works at Pentagram in NYC which is a pretty well-regarded design house (except their Big Ten logo is terrible). I bet my friend knows him. Some of his stuff is cool, my favorite being the take on the Rams logo. But that Bills logo is really, really bad. http://www.fastcodesign.com/1671229/rebranding-every-team-in-the-nfl#7
  21. If I buy a sports franchise with no experience running that kind of sports franchise, I want someone there to advise me since I don't necessarily talk the talk. You need someone who is going to help you sniff out BS and who can spot good things too. A great mechanic knows when he's dealing with a crap mechanic. And also a good one. That is what this guy will be able to bring to new owners. Plus, all his previous experience. I think it's a smart hire.
  22. Classic click bait headline. They had no preconceived notions (apparently) of who they wanted to hire. Maybe had some feelings on people, but after meeting Rex, he went right to the top.
