Curious what would happen if they ever decided to build new stadium where the existing Ralph is. What if they took a year and played in Toronto how fans would feel about it. Would people freak out and believe they would never see the Bills again.

I would take a shot on him as an undrafted FA similar to Da'Rrick Rogers last year. Guy is talented but off the field issues I don't think teams will touch him. With the influx of underclassmen there is going to be some talented players that will not be drafted.

Always enjoy watching these rookie shows. Everyone knew EJ was raw coming out. He has shown flashes but the consistency isn't there yet. He is looked upon as a savior to lead the Bills back to the promise land. Fans aren't patient and I understand everyone is tired of this team being the same old Bills. The biggest thing with EJ is going to be his ability to stay healthy. I think he has everything you want in a QB from an intangibles perspective. Can he put it all together, he gets next year to show that progress. Otherwise, we start looking for another QB come 2015. I say load up on offense in the draft and add defensive pieces in FA. Surround EJ with playmakers and let him sink or swim on his own.

If Watkins can be what Julio Jones is to Atl you take him. TJ graham is not a starting caliber wr in this league. I rather trade down and get an extra 2nd if I can. We could then target OT, LB, and WR /TE with our first 3 picks in whatever order.

There is a video on Mastrole's site that follows EJ Manuel from the Senior bowl to the draft which was kind of interesting. http://mastrolepassing.net/?page_id=4518

I doubt Bills go WR early in the draft now and will focus their attention on OL, LB, maybe even TE depending how situation with Chandler turns out.

I think it is a new rule the league is implementing after having a hard time filling spot this past year. If the Bills were forced to do it I wouldn't mind. At least they can be entertaining off the field versus the horror show I have been subjected to watching for the past 14 years.

Look I don't have a problem with this firing because there were obvious problems that need to be fixed. I posted the following in another thread. Now I don't know what sources Pat Moran has inside the Bills Org but it is not far fetched and reason why I was disappointed with the way Marrone has handled things. Hilliard wasn't one of Marrone's "guys" and Crossman was. The reasons made for Crossman was that there wasn't enough special team guys. If you go by that reasoning seems Hilliard and Driesbach got the short end of the stick. Hilliard was working with only 1 proven receiver. Driesbach had a below average LB core with a rookie who exceeded everyone's expectations. In the end it doesn't matter it is on Marrone to get things fixed or he will be the one getting his pink slip. http://www.buffalosportsdaily.com/friday-bills-thoughts-notes/

However look what Hilliard had to work with and the reasoning should be the same. Hilliard was the scapegoat and ended up getting fired while Crossman got to keep his job doesn't seem fair to me. http://www.buffalosportsdaily.com/friday-bills-thoughts-notes/

Guy comes across as a total boob but hey maybe that is just me. http://www.buffalobills.com/video/videos/Danny-Crossman-talks-special-teams/f3d5d768-aadf-40e1-a115-719a17fee3a7

Can't wait for the magical 7-9 season where we finally get back into the playoffs.

I think the point most people are making. Crossman hasn't done anything to prove that he is a good coach. There is a pattern of bad special team units run by this guy. He should be accountable just like the players since he had a hand in picking them.

Heard Jeremy White on WGR mention that Crossman has been retained. Bad move on Marrone's part the whole accountability spiel is a joke.

Bills finally have a shot at making the playoffs now lol.

I believe Slauson re-upped with Chicago so he is out.

People are up in arms over letting Rogers go. What did he have like 1 catch yesterday. I mean no one said the kid wasn't talented. However, it takes much more than that to make it in this league. I have no problems with the Bills cutting him. He is young and immature a kid who needs to do some growing up. Hopefully, he makes it because he can really become a good player.

I think Colt Lyeral will go undrafted at which point I wouldn't mind bringing him into training camp like we did with Rogers last year. If kid can prove himself and keep clean fine if not no big loss.

I think it is a legit concern and hopefully doesn't turn into another Daunte Culpepper situation whose career went downhill due to knee issues.

Agree Sheldon Richardson deserves honor guy is a stud and has played well all year. However, voters may go for flash over substance so Kiko still has a good shot. I think with his drop in play in the 2nd half he should probably be #3 after Richardson and Lotulelei.

I will be extremely disappointed if Marrone keeps his buddy Crossman. It will demonstrate nothing has really changed at OBD. Special teams unit has been undisciplined and terrible the entire year.

Try to trade back again to the middle of the first and see if we can pick up an extra 2nd. OT, LB, TE/WR are major needs in my opinion. S is another big need if Byrd is not back next year. Running stuffing DT as well someone who can be groomed to replace Kyle Williams.

Either we step up to the plate and pay him. Otherwise tag and trade him. We don't want another repeat of this year.

Apparently EJ Manuel was at the top of the Jets draft board over Geno Smith. Plus it was reported that the Eagles really liked Manuel. http://m.metro.us/newyork/sports/nfl/2013/12/26/source-jets-had-e-j-manuel-rated-higher-than-geno-smith/ I am not going to complain after wanting to draft a QB for years. We were able to trade back and draft Kiko Alonso which was a bonus. Hopefully the Bills picked the right guy for the job. Manuel gets another year before we start looking for a replacement. I think it is very important to put some offensive weapons around him and to fix the oline this year.

As a Bills fan it is a yearly tradition where we look forward to next year after another disappointing season. Here is an article where scouts give their take on the different position groups, I would like to trade back again and grab the TE Ebron or LB Mosley. Then address the o-line in the 2nd. http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/early-look-at-the-nfl-draft-b99168238z1-236899801.html

If EJ played I think he would have put up comparable stats as Thad did which was nothing special. The key to today's victory was our ability to run the ball down the dolphins throats. The Bills are playing for the future and are banking on the upside of their rookie QB. The biggest concern with EJ has been his inability to stay healthy. He has missed valuable development time which has hampered his progress.
