  1. Some people will never accept Tyrod because he does not fit the mold of what they think a QB should be. He has his strengths and his weaknesses. Do I think he is a Franchise QB? No I don't but do I think you can win with him in the right system I do.

     

    I don't care how he scores whether with his legs or his arm they still count as TDs. Until there is a better option and someone beats him out for the job got to make sure they surround him with a strong D and running game.

  2. Got to believe this case is going to go nowhere. Makes no sense for the accused to be grabbed for no reason out of the blue like that other than him hoping to settle out of court. This whole thing will blow over and be forgotten, doubt this will affect Rex's ESPN job.

  3. Id rather they not sign anyone who will help them to struggle less @ winning 6-7 games this season.

     

    So no one.

     

    Play who you got. Take your medicine. In 2018 get serious.

     

    If that was the case a full purge should have been done. Not half measures to make sure the team was competitive. Do what the Jets did and purge the roster of high priced veterans.

     

    McDermott clearly believes he can win with this group. He thinks he can turn around the defense which would put the team on the cusp of a wild card spot. The margin of error between 7-9 and 9-7 or 10-6 is small. If this team can stay healthy and show discipline we have a chance. Mentally this team has always been weak and collapsed anytime there was any struggles. Changing the culture of losing is the hardest task McDermott is going to face and we will see if he is up to the task.

  4. unfortunately the game is played on the field. A locker room presence means nothing if the guy can't play. Make him an assistant coach then but last I watched him play he looked slow and couldn't make tacklers miss

     

    I mean he still would have to compete this summer and if he doesn't make the 53 so be it. Then we can let him retire a Bill like he should be. However, I don't see the harm in letting him come in and compete for a spot. The only person with his spot set is McCoy otherwise every other rb role is open for competition.

  5. Ask anyone here and anybody that follows football who's far superior in talent. Maclin or Barnidge. Come back at me with the responses. And include the ones that laugh at you and ones that ask if you're serious.

     

    You're a joke

     

    Well apparently you have a reading comprehension problem. Where did I ever say Barnidge is a superior player to Maclin?

     

    Why don't you come back with those responses.

     

    I said I lean towards Maclin as insurance in the event Watkins gets hurt again. Maclin has had his own injury concerns as well while barnidge has been relatively healthy. Money spent on Maclin could be spread around to multiple players including TE.

     

    However, some people look at a name guy and say I heard of him and he helped my fantasy team years ago so he must be great. There is a reason Chiefs cut him as the production he gave didn't match his contract. If he was instrumental to the team they could have restructured. it is not like the Chiefs have an all star WR core to begin with.

  6.  

    WTF are you talking about? LOL. You're overanalyzing this. Why would you want a far superior player to a mediocre one hit wonder? Makes no sense! If you want an average player over an above average player, that's cool.

     

    40 some catches last year is superior??

     

    Both players have similar stats past 2 years. Again signing Maclin as a hedge against Watkins getting injured is fine and makes sense. However, it is a short term fix and gives us some leverage in case Watkins is not re-signed next year.

     

    Barnidge

    No...whatcha smoking?

     

    Maclin has more talent in his pinky toe than Barnidge has in his entire body.

     

    So if you owned an NBA basketball team and had Lebron James and Shawn Bradley as your center with no other backup at the Center position. And you had the chance to sign Kobe Bryant or Robin Lopez in free agency, you'd pick Robin Lopez over Kobe because you had Lebron and there's no depth at the Center position? Obviously Maclin isn't as dominant as Kobe was in his respective sport but I hope you get the idea and realize how ridiculous you sound

     

     

    I am looking towards the future. Guys like Maclin and Barnidge don't fit in those plans as they are short term gaps to fill positions while we accumulate younger players who can contribute. If Sammy was healthy and durable. I rather have Barnidge on a 1 yr deal vs Maclin for 2-3 yrs. However, with the questions surrounding Sammy who will be gone after this year if he fails to stay on the field. Maclin can fill that spot temporarily and reason why i lean that way. Both players have had injury concerns so it makes sense to me to double down at that position.

    However, this team has a long way to go. Breaking the playoff streak is important to some people but for me building a super bowl roster that can contend for years is where I would want the Bills focused on. Brady can't play forever but for now he is there and I don't see anyone knocking them off the AFC east barring injuries and even then Patriots have shown they are resilient.

  8.  

    Really? And if you had to choose between owning a Bugatti Veyron and a 1990 Honda Civic, what would you lean towards?

     

    Well if Sammy didn't have health issues and could be counted on to stay on the field. I would lean towards Barnidge because one obviously the cost involved in signing Maclin and the fact how important TEs are in a west coast offense. Barnidge would be insurance for Clay who also has health concerns with knee issues but has managed to stay relatively healthy so far.

  9. Hey Bills Fan,

     

    Question: Why is it if the Bills do nothing, we suck and if the Bills make moves, we suck? Is the view from your parents basement that shallow? We have done what many of YOU have called for for years; clean house? Strip the ship and start anew. Now that we have taken steps to do just that, it's still not good enough.

     

    Maybe the Clearasil vapors are affecting your thought process, but I, for one, enjoy monitoring the steps to success MY team is taking to improve!

     

    I think people want results and are tired of all the losing. No one can say whether these changes will finally get this team moving in the right direction. In the end the product on the field will speak the loudest. Until then all this off season talk is just talk and people just need to keep an open mind while hoping for the best.

  10. I don't know why people don't think Tyrod will win the job, it baffles me honestly.

    I agree I think we go after one more safety to start. I don't trust Poyer to stay healthy as an every down safety.

    Because Tyrod is the best QB on the roster. Who is he going to lose the starting job to?

     

    Tyrod may not be able to carry a team to a win but I don't think he will be reason they don't win. Coaching staff will favor a QB who doesn't turn the ball over and make dumb mistakes. These are Tyrod's best qualities. They are going to lean on a strong running game and hopefully improved D.

     

    McDermott being a guy who favors statistics. Tyrod gives him the best chance to win this year. There was no reason to restucture otherwise as the whole organization was ready to move on.

     

    People are being naive if they think a rookie or 2nd year qb is going to come in and be ready. They are playing for 2nd and 3rd string with Yates being the insurance policy.

  11. I think Whaley sealed his fate with that terrible press conference and from that point Pegula's were ready to move on from him. Even if he didn't know what was going on he shouldn't have admitted to it and effectively throw your boss under the bus.

  12. We are doing things backwards as normally the GM hires the coach. So the Pegula's should be deferring to McDermott as who he would be most comfortable working with.

     

    Obviously, McDermott is a total unknown, someone who has been granted unprecedented power as a 1st time HC. However, there is no turning back now they need to sign off on the guy McDermott wants. Both guys need to be tied to the hip and if they fail they both need to be held responsible.
