see title of this thread.And if you think Tavaris Jackson was decent, then why did he never see any game action for the Bills when he was here?
-
With all of the highly touted QBs eligible for the draft this year, Clowney was never going to be the first player picked anyway.
Now he might not even go in the top 10.
-
agreed. It is not just a matter of losing a few games. If Tuel starts 4-6 weeks, our defense will be absolutely wiped out from being on the field so much. You can count on many more injuries.The way I see it is that either the Bills sign Freeman or they punt their season away five weeks into it. He's the only available QB capable of helping them win games. Every other option is absolutely terrible.
-
remember when our return teams were a threat to score?? It was not that long ago. What happened?Defense played pretty well other than not getting any turnovers. Williams got beat twice on the one TD drive. No idea why they left him 1 on 1 there. Offense didn't do anything after EJ got hurt. This one isn't on the defense. Bills actually had more yards on offense than the Browns. The 200-some punt return yards the Browns had was no good. Browns had a punt return TD and a defensive TD, take those away and it's a tie game.
-
sort of agree, but they are not going to win too many games with weedon at QB.We lost to a good team. Bills did a lot well but injuries were too much. But I'm very impressed with the Browns. I'm wishing we were in the AFC North now. We should play the Browns twice a year,.

i thought the pressure was pretty strong all night. You just can't get to the QB every time. I am not in favor of all out blitzes on 3d and 18. Your DBs have to be able to defend that.If the DBs couldn't cover Gordon and Little, that's all the more reason to bring more pressure
-
overall, the D played very well. The problem is that their corners simply cannot cover little and gordon. 21 of Browns points were directly attributable to special teams and Tuel. And of course it did not help that browns had awesome field position the entire second half due to incessant 3 and outs, followed by lousy punts.For the 2nd time in 3 weeks.
Pettine seems to call off the dogs, and let these turds settle in and get comfortable. Why not dial up more pressure?
-
I was thinking the exact same thing. UncannyMarrone and Chudzinski......Separated at Birth?
-
I guess I can't understand your definition of "significantly worse off". What are their W-L records for the last 5 years? When did they last sniff playoffs?
I meant the current state of the team/franchise. I realize that no team has gone longer than Buffalo without appearing in the playoffs and that we have sucked really hard the past 5 years.
-
Yep, as much as we complain--and we have lots to complain about--there are quite a few franchises around that league that are significantly worse off than we are. I'm thinking of Tampa, J-Ville, St. Louis, Oakland, and arguably Minnesota. And a lot of people would have put Cleveland in that category two weeks ago. I also expect the Redskins to turn into a full-blown dumpster fire by the end of year, when it becomes apparent that the savior of their franchise is never going to be the same as he was last year. I didn't mention Pittsburgh or the Giants, for obvious reasons.I'm just happy my Bills have some hope.

But when else can you trade him where his value will be higher? Your not going to get anything more for him if you wait it out. At the end of the season teams can just wait til he becomes a FA
Teams can talk informally and get a "handshake agreement" from him that they will pay him what he wants when they can.
I agree. Now is the time to trade Byrd, if you can get decent value for him (1st round pick or 2nd round pick from a team likely to finish in the bottom half of the league). If they are planning to trade Byrd (not saying they are), it's possible that the next couple weeks are showcase games, meant to prove that his foot is sufficiently healed. Personally, I think, when healthy, Byrd is one of the two or three best safeties in the league and is worth at least a no. 1 pick, but given his health issues and the uncertainty of his contract status, we might not be able to get that much for him. Bottom line, though, is that the guy does not want to be here and really needs to be moved, the sooner, the better.

Ha - as soon as the trade happened and Hoyer was named the starter (before he played) folks on this board were saying that. That was also before the Jets game. Of course, we know better than that. I said at the timer that these two teams are closer than a lot of people think. The thing is that the hype on the "Lakewood Laser" is unbelievable right now. Cleveland and the whole state of Ohio is riding the wave. Perhaps we can capitalize a bit on that. There are a ton of media requests going out to the players and coaches, esp. Hoyer and it is short week of prep for everyone. I can see this being a game where, if we come to play, we can knock the bloom off the rose a bit. We'll see.
Thanks for the Cleveland update. So are Browns fans finally coming around to the fact that the team is not going to fall off a cliff without Trent's 3.5 per carry? I think they are going to really like the trade come the end of April. This is going to be a good game, with two teams that bear more than a passing resemblance to each other. Another one that goes down to the wire, I think.
-
I did not say they were the only problem, did I?So hackett is the problem not the 8 penalties that stalled almost everyone of our drives, or EJs INT?
-
Marrone and Hackett are a serious problem. Indistinguishable from Jauron/Gailley/Meathead--timid, play-not-to-lose coaching. Bailed out by Kiko and the defense.I'll take it. Offense is a work in progress and hopefully they will get better. Defense was awesome today.
They're both !@#$s. Can't stand either one.
-
When does he become a free agent?Alonso 4 ints on the season....what's the record? For a rookie linebacker?
-
Forget about the 9ers rushing him a lot. He had time on a lot of plays. He just plainly sucks.
They need to move on from the Bradford era.
Sam Bradford= Bust
This is how it works Microscopes. You give a guy a year or two or three, then you can declare them a bust. Not after 1 game.
Certainly not looking good for him, right now. And remember, it was because of their faith in Bradford that the Rams traded the right to draft RG III to the Redskins. That faith now seems to have been misplaced. On the other hand, they still have the Redskin's No. 1 pick in 2014, which might be a top-10 pick, and RG III is not exactly setting the league on fire this season.

Where they drafted him a year and a half ago has nothing to do with whether they got value for Richardson when they traded him last week. The fact is that so far, Richardson has not demonstrated the skills and ability one would expect of a back drafted no. 3 overall. And he's been injury-prone. To me, it's surprising that Indy was willing to give up a first-round pick for him given that he has so far failed to vindicate his lofty draft position. Therefore, I think a good case could be made that the Browns got great value for what, to them at least, was a potential bust in the making.No, actually, they didn't.
They basically traded an early 1st round pick in last years draft for a mid to later round pick 2 years from now, if you leave out the fact that they made a deal to move up to get him in the first place. Then throw in that they never shopped him around, cause if they did, there were other GMs that said they would have been willing to give up more for him
My point is is there a team willing to give up a #1 right now like the Colts? I say no. In fact I think the Colts were nuts to do what they did. High risk move. One minute we are saying never use a 1 to draft a RB, the next we are saying of course Spiller is worth a 1.
You might be right, although I think Spiller is worth a lot more than Richardson. Whatever his faults, Spiller is a proven game-breaker and, when used properly, is a major weapon. Richardson is not. Richardson probably has a more favorable contract, though. Bottom line is that I'm not at all sure there are teams willing to give up a no. 1 for Spiller. If I were the Bills, I would seriously entertain such an offer, especially if it came from a team likely to draft high next year.
-
What do you care? You're not writing the check, are you?I wouldn't overpay for a LG especially since this team is in rebuild mode.
-
Bingo....I shuddered when I saw that thread....Sanchez made Gilmore his lady last year.
I knew we would lose after seeing that thread for sure.
Yep. I doubt that any fan-base is more delusional after a victory that the Bills'. All of sudden, it was a given that EJ--not Geno--was the correct choice in the draft, that we were going to stomp the lowly Jets (despite the unfathomable Vegas line), and anyone who before the Carolina triumph had questioned the wisdom of the "new" Buffalo Bills administration should be ridden out of town on a rail. No wonder there is widespread panic and endless recriminations now that reality has sunk in.

The article is silly, but its overall point is valid: There is no reason to spend a premium pick on a running back. Spiller is an interesting case study. He is the type of running back who arguably would merit a high draft pick because he has elite speed, good hands and the defense has to account for him on every play. Running backs like him are more valuable in today's game. Imagine how dangerous Spiller would be in Chip Kelly's wide open offense. On the other hand, Spiller is not the type of RB that be your every down back; he just does not seem to be able to get the tough yards and he still has issues in pass protection. Question: Would you trade Spiller today for a No. 1 draft pick in 2014, like Cleveland did with Richardson? I think it's fairly a close call, and it might depend upon which team you trade him to. Personally, I think Spiller is a much more valuable piece than Richardson, but I would still make the trade. He is in his 4th year in the league and has yet to establish himself as a superstar, although he certainly has remarkable skills. As others have pointed out here, it is not at all certain that the Bills would re-sign him anyway.

Umm, I thought the rule applied to actual players, not to fans on a message board.Not that I don't applaud your general idea, I thought the 24 hr rule was you have 24 hrs to deal with the game good or bad then you move on.
Not wait 24 hrs to talk about the game
-
how did you feel when they ran it twice in a row last week from the Carolina 2-yard line?Wanted to throw a brick through the TV watching it happen over and over again.
-
Since Ryan got there, the Bills get physcially manhandled and outworked all day long every time they play the Jets. Every time.
You've noticed that too, huh? It is the difference between good coaching and poor coaching.

Doug Flutie QB keeper to beat the undefeated Jacksonville Jaguars as time expired.
Followed by Flutie jumping into Bruce's arms.
Pat White not signed at this time

Well, now the question is, who else are we going to sign? If White is the new starter, who is going to be the backup? Tuel has proven he belongs no where other than the practice squad--or selling insurance. He cannot be the no. 2 QB.
We went with one QB, not two. That is the problem.
