  1. Texans signed Addison and Hughes hence the question was if they would sign Star now
  2. Agree. Would have been nice for him to retire a Bill but given his declined abilities it was right decision for the Bills. And I cant fault him for wanting to work some more and collect another paycheck. Good luck to him!
  3. He has won a lot more Superbowls than Peyton Manning but he doesn't have half his personality, appeal or charm. And no TB12 diet is ever going to inject him with any Your take is .. umm... well ... strange
  4. Did he actually say that? I am sure most of us here would rather win the Superbowl at least one than be the bridesmaid every season. From now on, every season should be the one until we win the first SB
  5. Yes but it's taking a while. We are clearly a national draw now.
  6. This will be the time to show what our upgraded DL can do against Henry. A good early to test.
  7. I disagree. There aren't many good establishments in Chicago-land area but the one I listed above is very good. Wings are not stringy at all.
  8. Frank's for the Memories, Mundelein, IL Founded in the 80s by a guy who moved from Buffalo. Still a family owned establishment and true Buffalo style wings
  9. Imo, Sanders is done. Speed was his big trait but he has lost not one but two steps. Those top 5 are fine and Stevenson, kumerow and Hodgins are good for the remaining spots. With 2 TEs and receiving backx of Cook and Singletary, we are not in desperate need of WRs
  10. The other way to think about AJE is that in his second year, he could not beat out Addison. It is too early to pronounce judgment on Rousseau and Basham but Epenesa did not even trend in the right direction by the end of his second season. Let see if he turns out to be a late bloomer like Knox. But he is going to have only a few opportunities to show himself off in a rather crowded DE room. If he doesnt make the best if his chances, he wont dress on game days.
  11. This is my single biggest concern as we have not made many significant upgrades to the OL. Adding Saffold, walking everyone back and changing coaches still is not sufficient given how much Allen had to cover up the deficiencies last season. Beane said after the season that we need to provide more protection for Allen but I hope he wasn't talking about the RB and Receivers as "protection". I was hopeful that one of the first 3 picks would go to the OL but that didn't happen. There aren't many FA left so I am still hoping there is a trade coming or we will be lucky with some June cuts
  12. I am going with Spencer Brown. OL is the only area where sufficient talent was not added so we need more from the returning players. Brown is a key person, followed by Doyle. If both of them excel, we win the SB
  13. Tannehill has proven to be a competent , if not spectacular , QB. He should feel self assured that there will always be teams looking for his (moderate) skills every year. He should be a good team mate or pretend to be one, as part of an audition for the next job.
  14. Going by memory, he was a bust. Very disappointing player.
  15. It was a term coined on this board during the Edwards years. Yea, it was an apt play on his first name
  16. This is similar to the Bills selecting Trent(ative) Edwards when Losman was the starter. Tannehill is better than JPL was but in both cases, the teams took a mid-round pick to challenge the starter.
  17. Okay. I dont recall that at all.
  18. I remember those painful days very well and whenever his name comes up - the above is exactly what I think about. Of all the other busts in recent Bills history, do you remember why the word "friggin" was so intricately linked to his name? Same question
  19. Congrats, @Brian3488. Sent you a PM. Good competion @BringBackFergy Go BIlls!
  20. Welcome to the cushiest job in the NFL, Mr Araiza
  21. Arguably, the WR room last year was not widely different - Beas was hurt and Sanders was on his last legs. So we may be slightly better in that regard. But strength of schedule is something I hadnt considered. We did benefit from having very few major injuries last year and shouldnt expect the same every season. I see how we were both saying most of the same things and I was coming to a more rosy/hopeful conclusion 🙂
  22. I would like to see a trade up into the 4th round and pick up OL , WR and P with the resultant picks. That's it.
