  1. That was the one coaching hire by McDermott I never understand. Most refer to him as adequate to below par coach at best. Maybe Miller isn't the answer, but Dicasse is a pile of hot garbage and everyone seems to realize it but, McD, Castillo and Beane. And I am starting to feel like this is turning into Gregg Williams - Part 2. Bring in familiar faces, jettison better, talented players and think you know better than most everyone else.

    Ducasse has much more going for him. He is boys with Castillo.

  2. I prefer Mason Storm. He's bulked up nicely and we could use an extra OG.

     

     

    Really like Mason Rudolph and feel like he will be the QB that starts climbing draft boards when the season starts. Also really like James Washington but feel like round three is a little low for him. As it stands right now, and its early, I'd expect him to go late round one.

     

    I'd say the same for Chubb who is currently considered as a 1st round pick. Otherwise this looks good to me.

  3. Fire him, fire him, fire him ... 1000X over! I will admit he has had successes and he was important in keeping team here while Ralph was alive, but in what industry does a management leadership figure lead an organization to 17 years of futility and, not only keep his job, but get promoted. Sorry, we fired the GM and most of the "old guard" scouts, now it is time for the Pegulas to say sayonara to Brandon AND Overdorf.

  4. Love this topic ... LB is a big concern, so I would understand if they traded down and picked up one later in the first round. I worry about CB and corner depth, but I think help could come from choices as late as Round 4 or Round 5. I hope we stay at #10 and take OJ Howard. Can you imagine the sets they could trot out with him, Clay Watkins, Holmes, Shady out of the backfield? Add in Tolbert as a receiving threat and Philly Brown in the slot and it could be a real nightmare for opposing defenses. I think OJ Howard makes the biggest impact at #10.

  5. Looking to vent and, perhaps, get feedback from Bills fans, on the current state and future direction of the NFL. First off, I am a HUGE football fan and start to get excited by the mere thought of the upcoming draft, the sweltering heat of training camp at SJF, and the crisp, autumn Sundays with the anticipation they bring. However, the NFL is starting to trouble me as it looks to build these gargantuan palaces for the corporate, jet-setters, extend internationally while seeming to overlook their loyal cities and fan bases, and ignore or work to cover up questionable strategies and approaches to "protect the game" and the incredible flow of revenue.

     

    I was very excited when a local, Roger Goodell, was chosen to lead the league into the new century. He has increasingly become an embarrassment, unless you are one of the 32 owners, looking solely at the league coffers. He has business savvy, but the commissioner is morally bankrupt. He should have been fired after the Ray Rice debacle. Every time I see his mug at a press conference and hear him stammer, I am reminded of what a tool he truly is.

     

    This is a league that, instead of being proactive, knew it had concussion-related issues and chose to wait, fight it, and let it explode. This is a league that fought "tooth and nail" against its retirees who built the league on their blood, bones, and guile. This is the league that seems to insulate their stars and star franchises until forced to go after them ("Deflategate") and look foolish in the process.

     

    I know we'll never get back to the brilliance and simple nature of the game from the 1970s through the 1990s, when the focus still seemed to be on the fan at the stadium ... the ticket buyer ... the jersey wearer. But at least make more of an effort to reach out to your common fans and provide the illusion that we still matter in the grand scheme of things.

  6. Dude ... I'm not comparing Tyrod to any past QB, just saying that two of the Bills best QB's EVER, Jim Kelly and Joe Ferguson, hardly had stellar first years. Ferguson handed off to OJ and thre 10-15 times a game, but as the 70s wore on he became a gunslinger and a terrific QB. Kelly didn't have a breakout year until 1988 when we won our first AFC EAST crown. Taylor had a terrific year considering in training camp it was a three-headed monster and Greg Roman kept the reigns pretty tight. He also lost a huge option like Harvin early in the year and Shady missed a fair amount of games.

     

    I'm not sure if he is real or not, but your logic is pretty faulty.

  7. The Bills weren't robbed. They were their own worst enemy in many ways. Thurman ran all other the Giants in the fist half and they stopped feeding him the rock in the second. Defensively, that team was limited and I always felt like they should've bolstered the D-Line during that run. Jeff Wright played beyond his potential but he still was a liability. Additionally, Walt Corey was a mediocre coordinator, at best. How do you have an innovator like Marchibroda on one side and a dud like Corey to coach the defense. Lastly, I love Marv, but a truly great coach has control of his team and gets them to focus on the biggest game of their lives, not the Tampa nightlife.A stronger coach and we win that game going away.

     

     

  8. As someone that moved back in 2005, you it's not be anywhere near the city limits. I work in downtown right off of Elmwood and in the last 2-3 the amount of building projects, cranes, electricians, carpenters, plumbers, etc downtown is noticeable everyday. According to CNN, Buffalo is 12th in the nation for construction and infrastructure projects currently underway. The medical corridor, solar city, the amount of historic building being renovated for dual purposes of business and apartments, and the young people choosing to move downtown is all there to see. I'm not sure where you are writing from, but it's clear you haven't been to the Queen City in awhile. Is there work still to do? Absolutely. But Cuomo is delivering on the Buffalo billion, the Pegulas have a strong presence downtown and investors from the area, Across the border and across the country are putting their money here.

     

    Are NY taxes higher? Sure. But, so are services. As a parent of a special needs child, there are few states that can match the assistance, educational opportunities, medical care, that NY, and in particular Buffslo, offers.

     

    And as for weather, my kids were at the park in January. Do we have some snowstorms? Sure do. But no hurricanes, tornados, or tropical storms that require FEMA assistance on a regular basis. I can snowblower a few times a year, enjoy all four seasons, and some of the best food choices in the nation.
