Bill from NYC

I don't know if Gilmore would or would not get us a first round pick in a trade. That said, I for one would rather see the Bills get a first for Gilmore than see him signed to a huge guaranteed contract that would hurt us badly in terms of cap space. This of course is jmo. At this point, it may be in the Bills interest to concentrate on offense. They need blockers and another receiver, but there IS talent there. The defense will probably suck under any conditions as long as Rex is running it, and he probably has little say on the offensive side, so their best hope to win might be as an offensive juggernaut. The above is surely not my favorite brand of football but with Rex as coach, options and chances are surely limited.

Impossible to fathom? He proved last season that he could not coach THIS defense. He took away their pass rush, aggression, and discipline. Sacks were down more than 60%. Penalties were through the roof, no? So what did Whaley and Brandon do? They let him hire his brother who nobody else wanted. What a mess.

Dave, am I alone in thinking that this article is absolute, beyond a doubt proof that the 3 people calling the shots for this team (Brandon, Whaley and Rex) are incompetent? They invested hundreds of millions in the defense, the DL specifically, and now we are supposed to be glad that the ever so pedestrian Manny Lawson is the most important cog in this defense, while our line runs out in coverage or just stands still and jumps around? Really? Is that how things work? Sure, let's all count on greatness from Manny Lawson, as if things were not bleak enough. Mr. Pegula needs to dump all 3 of these sub-par managers that are hurting this team and of course the fans.

Have a great day!!!

It almost doesn't matter Tom. He is probably going to get jammed up again, ESPECIALLY if he gets away with this. I would put money on it. Did Cromartie and Travis Henry stop having kids with 10 women? Did Johnny Manziel stop drinking and getting in trouble? We both know that people truly are capable of change, but I see that McCoy continues to bring attention to himself, and this is usually a not so great thing for athletes (and btw it isn't such a good idea for cops).

The above is an amazing quote. You have several hundred posts in an apparent attempt to convince many, many others (who have eyes, let alone a right to their opinions) that Rex is a good coach. Now, who really is "burning calories?" I like differing opinions (even yours), but I get the feeling that you are not like this. Perhaps you should open your own board and post how great Rex is and what good job he did, and how wonderful and deserving his exalted, highly sought after brother is. Then you can answer yourself in full agreement and not have to exhaust so much time with those who dare to disagree with your all knowing prattle.

I wonder how/why the Crimson Tide won the title only having 2 players in the top 40, with the top one rated at 30. Ya know what I mean?

Embassy Suites. Join the Hilton Honors club. You almost always get double points and they don't expire.

Sorry GB, I gotta disagree here. I think that Rex is in the act of destroying this defense. The job is probably all but complete and the new DC, Brother Love, will help finish them off. The offense does however show promise. I for one am fond of Tyrod. I think that he represents the future on the Bills and in this league. This of course is jmo. Give him two better blockers and a better #2 receiver and that would be a pretty sick unit. Another RB would be a good idea for insurance in case our little criminal goes up the river (which I doubt), but RBs are easy to find. Overall, I guess I am trying to say that building the offense is our best hope. This is not my favorite brand of football mind you but again, I think that Rex has done WAY too much harm to the D and it's likely (imo) to get worse.

The RT position is rapidly growing in importance. Props to Kelly the Dog for predicting it would many years ago. Pass rushers line up all over the place now, and you can't put a stiff (like we do) at the RT position. Last year we actually had Kujo and that rookie lined up at the same time. A strong RT would REALLY help this team, as would improvement at RG.

How many dbs did Rex draft first with the Jets, let alone the money allocated to UFA dbs, and how did it all work out? I hope I am wrong but I have seen the Bills go this way time and again, no?

I agree with the theme of this post, but I would not say that Glenn is an "elite" LT, and I am surprised to see that you do. That said, how would the Bills replace him? As we all know, LTs are scooped up early in the draft and we pick 19th. Not only that, our situation at RT is bleak, and I'm being kind. The hated Pears was actually better at RT than anyone who lined up there last year. Sad but true. The truth is that they need to draft OTs AND keep Glenn whether through a contract or tag. My guess? Rex and Whaley will focus on the secondary and continue to lead this team off the cliff.

He is way too short to play DE. He is quick from the DT spot when it comes to the short distance to get to the qb but it is unlikely that he has the speed to do so from the DE position. I could be wrong and might even hope to be, but I doubt if Kyle makes the Bills roster this year.

Fina was horrible as time went on. He was small and weak. It was as if he was shrinking as the league got bigger. And don't forget, they actually made him the "franchise player."

Great call! Overrated by fans: CJ Spiller EJ Manuel Donte Whitner Underrated by fans: Aaron Schobel - He had all those sacks with really not so much help at rushing the passer, AND he had Jauron sending him into coverage. On another team he would have had much better numbers (which were even very good on the Bills). Holecek was very good but he was just too banged up on a consistent basis. He had a ton of talent but could not stay on the field.

Prescott is a very interesting prospect. He might not turn out well, or he could become a star imo.

Maybe we should just give EJ yet another chance? :)

Good point. The entire situation is rapidly starting to annoy me.

Safety Corner RB

Given this conduct, and taking his cap dollars into account? ABSOLUTELY!!!

Why is that? I truly don't understand where you are going in this thread. Do you think: All cops are liars? This particular cop is a liar? McCoy is a good person? Why do you seem to be so supportive of McCoy? At best, his behavior is going to hurt the football team that you support so much. At worst, he and his mob intentionally injured other people in a drunken rage. If you are not defending McCoy, I AM sorry for the mis-interpretation my old friend.

If they used force to take property in the state of NY, this would constitute a Robbery. The rule of thumb for Robbery is forcible taking of property. The force can be used or threatened, and must be immediate. I am NOT saying this happened. I don't know what happened, but even the lowest degree of robbery is a very serious crime.

I would have to see more details but at face value, it did look awful.

I met you and know that you are not an imbecile. You do however sound like one. Joe Rizzo was mayor back then, right? Most Philly cops today probably never heard of him.
