  1. he had some red flags out of college, and some teams had him off their draft board entirely. He makes 10 mill/yr and has never had 1000 yd season.

     

    pointless stat. Dude had 980 yards or something and another 350+ on the ground.

     

    Guy can ball in the right offense. Really don't understand everyone burying him on the skills front. Sure he's a headcase, but he's also an amazing player.

     

    Seattle is a running team and did not use Harvin much. Over paid for him and he helped win a Super Bowl but not worth the head ache. Now they have parted ways with Harvin and Golden Tate since the championship. NY Jets got a guy who can only go deep. Sounds like a problem (an injury prone one too) that the Bills shares.

     

    How is Harvin a guy who can only go deep? He's a slot guy you manufacturer short yardage plays for and let him run wild once he makes a guy miss in the Eddie Royal/Wes Welker mold. He's not a straight line burner. He's a gadget guy who can run all over. Cordarelle Patterson last year, not Goodwin. Geniuses.

  2. It was a dumb trade. You can find a Brown in every draft, probably with a lower draft pick. He didn't play in Philly either or really in college. He is the 2nd biggest myth going next to Kirk Cousins is an awesome QB who needs to play.

     

    And even if he plays, do we think this offense will get the most out of him?

     

    Bryce Brown has a tremendous amount of talent. he was drafted late, with no real investment by the eagles and shined. He's still VERY young, and will be the bell cow next year while spiller is tearing up defenses on a team that has a clue.

     

    Bryce Brown isn't dressing because Dixon is a special teams guy. If Spiller or Fred gut hurt, Bryce dresses and immediately gets a ton of touches.

  3. This is a "win now" move for a team not ready to win now because they made the boneheaded decision to trade next year's first round pick.

     

    Its 100% the right move because Manuel missed open guys that just can't be missed in that Texans game, but he doesn't get benched by any coach/GM in the league if they still have next year's #1 pick. This team isn't a playoff team with EJ, and it isn't a playoff team with Orton. Typically the thinking would go "why not let the kid have a full season to learn on the job." As it stands we have an answer to that question: because the entire front office and coaching staff gets fired if they gave away a top 5 pick for a WR who has no one to throw him the ball.

  4. The Bills are truly clueless if they take Ebron at #9. You just don't draft TEs at the top of the first round for the same reason you wouldn't do it in your fantasy team. You don't need them to win in a lot of systems, they don't see the field all the time, there are a bunch of guys who are "good enough," and their value is usually based on how many TDs they catch which is somewhat determined by luck.

     

    Horribly poor value at #9. they're not making that pick. They're more likely to take another QB, and they're not very likely to do that.

  5. in order of importance:

     

    #1- FRANCHISE QB (if peyton manning was our QB we would have 5 more wins , EJ will never be a franchise QB)

    #2- LG (upgrade the O-line, draft a LTand play him at RT, move pears to LG)

    #3- DT ( NEED NOSE TACKLE TO STOP THE RUN !!!) move Dareus to DE

    #4- TE (weakest position on team)

    #5- MLB (need to stop the run, move kiko to OLB)

     

    :death: If you want us to draft an OG at #9 or a DT at #9 you are bonkers. We have a borderline great interior of the line. You stop the run with LBs. Good D-linemen exist to keep the OL off the backers, and make the occasional play, not to necessarily make the play themselves. Moving Dareus to DE is ludicrous.

     

    Drafting a QB at #9 is probably not good value if the QB desperate teams ahead of us draft as expected.

     

    The pick should be Barr in a perfect world or Mosley in a likely one. Mack is a great rusher, but we don't need that.

     

    How can people look at Woods, Goodwin and Stevie and say we don't need to pick Evans.

     

    (As an aside I hope the Bills didn't let Graham on the team plane. "Uh Sorry dude you can find your own ride from now on.")

     

    Bob Woods is a stud and had a very good rookie year considering the carousel at QB, what in the sam hill are you talking about?

  6. Montgomery claims they were cut for smoking cigars...

    Sure you were...what kind of tobaccy was in those cigars? Were they of the wacky variety?

     

    Who cares if it was weed. This is 2013. It's legal in some states, and decriminalized in even more, including New York. Reefer Madness is over, grandpa.

  7. Would!nt it have been better to get a successful starter from the Canadian Foot ball League who maybe

    would like to work with 4 downs instead of 3 and wants the spotlight of the NFL. Or maybe a success

    in the Arena League, if that league still exists today.

     

    forgive me if I question the football knowledge of a human who is suggesting signing a player from a league he's not even sure exists...

  8. This is idiotic. Fred Jackson's wound up on IR the last two seasons and Spiller's the one who's brittle?

     

    The Bills played the entire game out of shotgun, and 80% of the run plays were stretch across Manuel's body.

     

    Thats not how you run effectively in the NFL. The run scheme was atrocious and I hope they figure out how to run an NFL offense soon.

     

    Last year's blocking scheme was better for Spilller than the blocking scheme used in this game. That scheme created holes and slant lanes that Spiller utilized to get his runs up the middle. The offense line is not as good as last year and neither are the WRs at blocking so this all going to affect Spiller's game. The QB is also not up to calling changing in line like last year. Coaching staff threw out the baby with the bath water and look at what worked last year and incorporate those elements into the game so Spiller can become dynamic again in middle of the field.

     

    You're absolutely right.

  9. The obvious answer is that the stadium will be a huge draw for non-football events throughout the spring and summer. Add a retractable roof and now you still have the outdoor elements of playing in Buffalo, but can also bring in big ticket events year round...more than likely you can host a Superbowl too. All of these events bring people downtown, which increases revenue ancillary to the stadium.

     

    Buffalo cannot host a superbowl. Will never ever happen. When the nicest hotel in town is a run down, shabby Hyatt barely worthy of the name, you're not hosting a superbowl. I'm not even kidding, Buffalo would need to double or triple the number of large hotels, and all the new ones would need to be 4 or 5 stars.

     

    We gave Handsome Tom **** for bashing Buffalo hotels, but he's not wrong. When you're used to staying at the Four Seasons, the W, or the Mandarin, Embassy Suites and Adam's Mark just ain't going to cut it.

  10. I think your observation is a microcosm of the hype around the draft. Were it not for the draft hype machine, we would not have heard all too much about him...except of course, for that fictitious dream girl. I have to go now to feed my flying tiger....

     

    Except for, ya'know, a defensive player being a Heisman finalist....other than that he was a complete UNKNOWN.

  11. The offense will be completely unable to move the ball absent maybe a long run or two by spiller. The Defense will be completely unable to stop Brady.

     

    There's absolutely no way we're within 3 scores, and I think it will probably be more like 5 scores by the end. Welcome to Buffalo, Doug.

  12. What is the basis for claiming that Da'Rick Rogers has a higher ceiling than Marcus Easley?

     

    I'm not disagreeing with you necessarily but I'm not seeing the logic that seems clear to you.

     

    First Team All SEC.

     

    Other players to be first team all SEC on this team include: Stevie Johnson, Antoine Caldwell, Stephon Gilmore, Cordy Glenn, and Kyle Williams.

     

    Now they may not all be superstars, but they're guys who belong on a roster and are above average at their position. Da'Rick is the same type of talent.

     

    If the choice is Easley or Da'Rick and its even close, you go with Da'Rick
