  1. There is a 100% legal way to bypass the pay wall. If you have a library card you can read the archived stories for free. The Erie county library puts all the stories up on their website everyday. You pay for this service when you get an Erie county library card. Edit: sign into the library website and go here: http://www.buffalolib.org/content/research You should be able to find any article that was in print.
  2. I didn't cry, but I actually considered writing Schwartz and Orton letters thanking them for the first winning season since 2004. The Rex Ryan era was such a colossal mistake in the history of this franchise.
  3. Kyle is the best DT in team history. You can make an argument that Fat Pat or Ted Washington were better in their primes, but Williams undoubtedly has had a better overall Bills career.
  4. The Bills aren't going to take a $22 million dollar cap hit to get rid of Dareus next year. I don't know what some of you are smoking. The very earliest he can leave is the 2019 season, when the dead cap is only $8 million.
  5. Dude mauls the **** out of people in the run game, but has issues with footwork in pass protection. Playing guard maximizes your mauling the **** out of people and lessens the need to be a ballerina.
  6. Being on a roster for week 1 guarantees your salary for the entire season if cut. If you are signed after Week 1 only 25% of your post-cut salary must be paid to you.
  7. Why? Poyer and Hyde have both looked good, and how much cap can we devote to the safety position?
  8. I would do Adams and a 3rd round pick, as I think Adams/Matthews/Jones would give us a very strong foundation at WR. It would also give us the ability to have four 3rd round picks in next years draft, if we cut the right guys.
  9. I say there's no way Ducasse makes the team. Ryan Groy played really well last game, and can backup three positions. My guess is that the Bills wanted to see how he would do against a #1 defense to see if he could be a competent backup. He can't be.
  10. Charles Clay down the seam? That's if Tyrod utilizes the middle of the field more this year.
  11. Is it any coincidence that fights breakout after McDermott addressed the team and told them they need to practice like winners? That's what happens when guys are giving their full effort trying earn a job or make the team.
  12. Matthews is solidly better than Robert Woods. I'd expect him to command $1-3 million more per year, as Woods has never gotten 700 yards in a season, and never more than 5 TDs.
  13. Yarbrough's a sneaky athlete that really brings his lunch pail to work. As a coach's son he's got great fundamentals, and really plays the game the right way. He's a gym rat with a high football IQ, and deceptive speed. It also seems he has a lot of heart, and I would love to have his cerebral headiness on this team.
  14. Anyone without stick-up-their-butt-itis, aka unlike Jerry Sullivan, is a welcome sight to be covering the Bills.
  15. I mean, certain defenders are getting smaller so I can definitely see where he's coming from. Late 90s or early 2000s coaches would be having wet dreams about the prospects of going against 6-0 220 lb linebackers.
  16. I love how Beane calls him a young man, but Beane is only three years older than him. http://buffalonews.com/2017/07/27/learned-bills-camp-day-one/
  17. Conflicting reports as to whether O.J. was caught jerkin his gherkin: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4710666/OJ-Simpson-caught-masturbating-cell-impact-parole.html http://www.tmz.com/2017/07/19/o-j-simpson-masturbating-prison-parole-hearing/
  18. He's probably a farmer, as they are often known to care more about livestock than the conservation of predators. Some quick googling shows Bald Eagles are a massive problem for sheep and goat farmers: http://www.capitalpress.com/Livestock/20160811/eagles-kill-hundreds-of-lambs-each-year-but-it-goes-unreported
  19. He's probably looking at a 2-4 game suspension at the start of the 2018 season.
  20. On average there are 5 new playoff teams every year, so I don't think we can blame the Bills' schedule for the lack of playoff appearances. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000482717/article/which-five-new-teams-will-make-the-playoffs-in-2015 SOS is meaningless with such high year-to-year variability in playoff teams.
  21. Irsay was probably whacked out on pills, and clicked the share button that every porn site has these days.
  22. The problem with tanking is that Rex is gone. The defense is almost guaranteed to be much better simply because they are returning to a 4-3.
  23. The clue was when Beane said he had known Overdorf for a long time. He's also fairly highly thought of around the league.
  24. Must be a pretty ****ty time for Donahoe. He's really good friends with Chris Mortenson IIRC.
