2020 Our Year For Sure

Obviously he's not in the top 3-5, that isn't the question. Dumb topic that misses the point

Still worthless?

Give him one more year and if no playoffs next year, axe him. Yes there's little hope we'll land someone much better and re-starting all the time is annoying; but leaving a losing formula there year after year is no better. If we keep firing coaches the chances go up we'll get incredibly lucky one time.

One of my favorite Dead lines! You da man Bill

You guys are nuts. Spiller and Brad Smith are not the answer here.

Move Pears to guard, bench Rinehart? Or more trouble than it's worth?

Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street, used to be the heart of town... You da man

He's been getting snaps at DT the entire season, it's nothing new.

Not concerned about versatility to the inside right now, we need pure unadulterated PASS RUSH. I don't follow college football so I can't give you a name, but just get the best damn edge rusher you can (value permitting, as always). Honestly when I hear a guy can play inside in a 34 it downgrades him for our purposes in my mind. Demarcus Ware and James Harrison wouldn't be nearly as effective at ILB as they are at OLB, and that is the kind of linebacker we desperately need. Between Barnett and Shepp we're good up the middle.

Welcome back

A mixture of these "football smarts" and good accuracy (which even our contrarian seems to admit is there) can take a quarterback a long way in this league, elite arm strength or not.

It's a Spiller topic, you can deal with it

Spiller is AWFUL on punt returns, my god.

The Broncos let him go because they have Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas. When you have that kind of young talent you don't pay big money for a 30 year old Brandon Lloyd. So they did well to clear the way for those guys to get experience and to get something for Lloyd before he'd walk in free agency for nada. In the Rams case, why wouldn't they re-sign him? If they do then it makes sense for them as well.

Brown-eyed women in red grenadine, the bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean... Well played, William

Drop MSW. I suppose if you're in a very deep league you can hold Gibson, but I see Lloyd and Danario Alexander both having more value. Hopefully this deal benefits Eric Decker!

Ah I can't see the 2nd line on the mobile version

He never actually called it a "past conversation." He called it a "pleasant conversation," "this past weekend." Thanks for posting. I have to say I have close to zero concern about the Bills leaving Buffalo at this point. From what Jimbo, Goodell, a handful of extremely reliable Wallers, and Wawrow have said, I get the impression there is a succession plan in place that is not being made public.

Not sure what the oops is for, but thanks! Fitz is actually a decent actor

Seriously who is that guy? Funny stuff!

When you have a strong locker room with strong leaders and a group of guys who all buy into the team-first mentality, you can take on one player with a checkered past. In order to fit in with his new family, the acquisition has no choice but to fall in line. We've seen it work before, including the case of Moss in New England*. Lloyd can help us on the field. Still don't think it makes sense to give up more than a 5th for a 10-game rental, and not sure if a new contract for Lloyd fits the plan.

I was glad to see your post, the unnecessary apostrophes are a pet peeve. We're not Bill's fans, people, we're Bills fans!

So you don't think it'd be a good sign for our long-term fortunes if a young pass rushing OLB were to have a breakout, 3-sack performance?

This is really the only hole I've found in Donald's game, going up for the ball in the air and winning it. Stevie is very good at this. As you say, he's young and can get there.

Davis definitely does not suck, as others have said. He reads plays and gets to the right spot (sheds blocks) well, and is a solid tackler. When you see an opposing RB get stuffed for a yard or two up the middle, Andra Davis probably got on that ballcarrier at some point.
