  1. He should have gone for it on fourth and goal with a tired Bills defense on the field.

    However after that the fake punt was a horrible call. Their defense just got a 3 and out. They had three timeouts and two minute warning. You punt and stop the Bills again.

     

    A team with less discipline would have let that fake go for a 1st down.

  2. Scoreboard beeotch. Enjoy the win.

     

    Yes he made a few clutch plays today, but the offense ran thru Shady. It has been now 4 games that Tyrod has flat out played awful in.

     

    Outside the 1st quarter today he is not looking very good, almost seems like he is regressing. Can't convert on 3rd down, holding on to the ball way to long, not throwing it away.

     

    There are plenty games left but right now I would not pay Tyrod 20+mill next season, especially if he plays like this for the remainder of the season and there are good rookie QB's that come out.

     

    He HAS to play better. He is great at not turning the ball over but his inability to convert on 3rd down is hurting the entire team.

     

    Need to see more of the gameplan used against the patriots, quick passes and short dropbacks.

  3. I'm no longer a fan of Whaley, but I wouldn't say he's been a COMPLETE failure. That's a bit much. He has, however, made some absolutely crucial miscalculations.

     

    1. Trading picks to get Sammy. First round picks are gold, and any WR can have injuries that keep them off the field. It was a huge risk - too big IMHO - and now Whaley is paying for it. Watkins can't stay on the field, and who knows who that lost pick would have netted.

     

    2. Not getting a good backup for Watkins this year. He really did nothing to get a backup for a guy who he knew would head into the year still recovering. Really stupid.

     

    3. Not getting adequate depth at TE. Beyond Clay - who has been average - our TEs suck.

     

    These are huge errors that have pretty much prevented us from being competitive this year. Not sure if Whaley will be fired, but these are big problems, and he is the cause.

  4. Why didn't the Bills let Karlos go to rehab and then stand "fully behind" him until he got back?

     

    Because Dareus is the best DL on the team, and top 10 in the NFL. Karlos? He was gaining his weight back and not even top 3 on the team. I bet it would have been different if he was a pro-bowl player.

  5. I'm kinda sick of stupid comments coming out of the mouth of a professional football coach.

     

    Knock it off. :nana:

     

     

    But sometimes will pick him up. If it were us we'd be all for kicking the tires.

     

    Well, yes, someone could pick him up for nothing, I agree. I would think that is much more likely than someone giving the Bills a pick for him.

  6. Who is this Sullivan you speak of? I don't know who this person is.

     

    Seriously, life is more pleasant when I don't read his crap. I don't click on a link that I know is is, and I sure as hell don't support any advertisers who are on his page if I happen to land on one of his "articles." The only way to ignore him is by not giving the Buffalo News the page views and let the advertisers know I will avoid them if I see an ad on one of his pages.

  7.  

    They cut Mario and it cost them 7 million in dead money on the cap....and they "really CAN'T CUT EJ!" because it would cost them 1.6 million? Even if his replacement is a better player, the Bills HAVE TO KEEP EJ! because his salary is guaranteed?

     

    Check out their cap numbers. Tight. Wouldn't make sense to cut a backup you are already paying for a guy who really isn't any better.

  8. The thing to remember is that he's a 3RD ROUND PICK!!!! I think you draft for potential 3 years down the road in the 3rd and below. Each round you need to afford more risk, and draft for long-term upside because that's how you have to look at those players. Obsessing over taking a DL over an OL in the 3rd round because it was an immediate need is absolutely insane. Chill, dude.

  9.  

    People don't have to agree about talent evaluation or play calling or whatever, but this kind of mindless knee-jerk name calling - what value do you think it adds here?

     

    If you know something about the guy and you think it's a bad choice for educated reasons, state what they are

    Otherwise, why not STFU?

     

    Generally reading the comments this draft week makes me think that people are generally stupid, or at least go "full retard" whenever they approach a keyboard. I'm amazed at how many people think of the success of a draft in terms of what a player can do THIS YEAR vs. planning for the future.

     

    I don't profess to know much about the draft or evaluating players, but I do know abou the Bills, their needs, and their needs 2 or 3 down the road.

     

    Do you want to be successful? Plan ahead.

  10. For those interested, before they picked Brady that year, they picked....

    no first round pick

    Rd 2 - Adrian Klemm - OT

    Rd 3 - J.R. Redmond - RB

    Rd 4 - Greg Randall - OT

    Rd 5 - Dave Stachelski - TE

    Rd 5 - Jeff Marriott - G

    Rd 6 - Antwan Harris - SS

     

    then

     

    Rd 6 - Tom Brady - QB

     

    and after him...

     

    Rd 6 - David Nugent - DE

    Rd 7 - Casey Tisdale - DE

    Rd 7 - Patrick Pass - FB

     

    That's amazing. The best pick (possibly) in the history of the NFL, surrounded by mediocre (at best) picks. Proves that it really was a lucky pick in many ways. I don't know if Brady would have been as good without Belichick, and vice-versa. I really think that dumb luck created an amazing dynasty.

     

    I don't doubt that the Pats would have been a good team without Brady, and maybe won a SB, but there's no way they would have done what they did for the past 15 years without Brady. They certainly wouldn't have dominated the AFC east the way they did.

  11. I see them definitely taking a QB at 19, unless of course they pick a DB there. Then again, I feel strongly they'll go DT, however they could go LB or even DE. Safety is still a concern so they might go there at 19, still they could use another RB and might use that pick to hedge against Shady's impending 10 year jail sentence for giving lip to the Philly cops thing. So, that said, I honestly believe their pick at 19 will be the kicker from that school in Florida.

     

    I agree 100%. There's no doubt that's what the pick will be. Bank on it.
