Original Byrd Man

I've said for years that the field house and bubble were a big mistake. The weather here should be their adventive. I remember one of the Bills commenting about playing indoors during the Toronto fiasco. They were glad because he didn't like playing in the bad weather. That is so wrong. It made me think back to Talley playing in short sleeves during a blizzard.

In this scheme I anticipate him having a monster year. No read and react, no dropping back into coverage. This is just the D he needs. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer but a beast to deal with physically.

Amen to that. I always believed the same thing. It was so enjoyable to watch that miss.

Actually 46 since they haven't played 2017 yet unless you are already counting them out.

For the draft picks to stick the coaching carousel has got to end. If you don't see improvement this year the media will start their undermining articles, and by the second year end will be calling for a change. That's how they do it here.

Thanks for the post PTR Bob Kalsu was a class act.

Amen! Don't care how they get there. Just Do It!

The problem with your theory is that in the past the RB position has been like the flavor of the week, with no one back being THE guy. Only time will tell.

This sport needs to get in touch with reality. The NFL is the only league that crusades against marijuana use. The other sports consider it recreational and don't care. And to punish players for medical use even more ludicrous.

3 years would be nice but you know how it goes. If the bills don't make the playoffs this year the retarded media around here will be all over him along with half of the fan base. Right now the media likes him so what more can you ask for?

Doug if you do follow I would like you for your improvements to the team. I wish you well in your next opportunity as long as it's not in the AFC east. You were a stand up guy and took one for the team regarding the EJ pick, even though everyone who follows the Bills knows Buddy vowed to draft a franchise QB before he left. And you get crucified for the Sammy move but if he gets healthy and has the career you believe he is capable of you will be looked at a genius. Thanks also for the trades and FA signings that proved instrumental.

Here we go again! The pats sign one of out backups and make him a starter! I think it's rather funny. Don't get me wrong I like Gillislee but I don't believe he is worth that much money to the Bill's. Remember when the sky was falling because the Bill's cut Karlos Williams. Also a big deal was made about signing Hogan last year to a big contract last year. His numbers did improve, but not significantly from the year before. An argument can easily be made that the Bills got much greater value for him dollar for dollar, and I think it will be the same with TD Mike. Now wouldn't it be Ironic if the Bill's used that 5th rounder they get the pats and draft Kelly or some other QB and he becomes the next Aaron Rogers. Eventually their spending will bite them.

How is it you don't think previous coaches have had a say in the draft? The Shaq Lawson pick I'm pretty sure was Rex's call, and before that Chan said he wanted a "scat back" and we took Spiller.

The thought did cross my mind, but I will take a wait and see attitude. It will be interesting to see how things evolve. Looking forward to the draft and the season opener.

Or he means the WR2 is already on the roster until they draft one. He didn't say they were not drafting a receiver.

Don't you know if you use logic on this board it will go over the heads of most of the posters. DW is blamed for 17 years of futility even though he was in Pittsburg for most of them. You have to be pretty stupid not to realize that isn't a valid assumption. And didn't you know it's also his fault that he is responsible for the failures of the coaches he didn't hire. You can only build a successful roster if you have CONTINUITY in your organization. Look back at the Bills coaching history and it is pretty sad. Three years is a dynasty here. I'm sure DW had a hand in all of it some how. Maybe you should go back and read some of jerry's columns in the early 90's when the Bills were winning. It was the same negative BS. He is a whiner. It's all he knows. Maybe he's bitter because he can't be a "real" journalist. He is just a guy who writes sports columns. Sad!

I don't understand how so many posters can blame one person for 17 years of failure when he has only been at his position for 4 years!!!!!! I read about draft picks traded, players injured, no QB drafted. As for the draft picks, we do not know the magnitude of these decisions, as we are not nearly far enough into the careers of the acquired players to determine their true value. As for the injuries they happen and can not be accounted for unless there was a significant history previously. And as for QB, who would you have selected with out trading the ranch to get, when this team has so many needs. As a caveat I will say the Lawson pick was unfortunate as he clearly had the injury before the draft, but can you not agree that pick was directly from Rex most likely! And still if he goes on to a stellar career it will be looked at as a genius choice. In closing I only wish jerry's article had been, the BN has finally come to their sense's and this will be my last column. I refuse to click a single BN sports article as I don't need them to form my opinions for me.

We have a QB, and when he tears it up this year I'll be looking for your response.

You just hate to face reality don't you. Did Tyrod date your sister? This team would have made the playoffs WITH Tyrod if the defense didn't suck. Oh wait I know, You had him on your fantasy team! Lol Or do you listen to (I know nothing about football) Mike Schopp?

.Very interesting. I didn't know anyone wasted their time listening to the ranting of Colin Cowturd. I still believe TT contract was a great deal. If he isn't their guy going forward they can walk away clean. If they think they can win with him for now the salary number is reasonable and they can rework the cap hit to make it more favorable.

So many people harp on the fact that Whaley drafted EJ. Even though he was the "assistant" GM at the time, lets assume he was responsible for the pick. The Bills needed to address the QB position because Nix ignored it for so long and EJ was one of the few options. The other was Geno who hasn't done so well with the Jets. He was forced into a very difficult position, and tried to make the best of it.

Actually if the Falcons don't move themselves out of FG position the whole thing would be a moot point. Hogan is who he is and the Patriots grossly overpaid for a mediocre receiver. Nice story but certainly not a real threat.

Right! Because the Mike Shoop way is the only way! It's a shame he is such a fool.

My complaint is the slanted officiating. There were obvious penalties that should have been called down the stretch against the pats that some how were over looked! Their vision was excellent when it came to the falcons transgressions. And it's not just in the super bowl. All season the patriots seem to get the royal treatment. The ref's always make sure they call the necessary number of penalties but they don't very often get the critical calls that may influence the out come.

I've heard the same thing. As long as he is healthy he will continue his dominance over the AFCE. It will be a cold day in hell before I root for Bellicheat and Marsha to win. Even if there was a guarantee the retire. I would love to see him slink away.
