Niagara Bill

expecting us top match and doing it are different issues. The point is we have a long term habit of destroying good units before we fix the poor units and thus can never get ahead. I have wiped up my tears of laughter from reading your postings. You must be once miserable SOB

where is Gillislee....

This should not be an issue for the Bills, but once again they create an issue. You cannot rebuild every unit every year. example....Seattle has kept the majority of their D backs in tact through out the past 5 years and worked on other areas each season. We had a good D back field coming along and suddenly we now have only of the 4 left. regardless of reason (salary or injury) you must keep your strengths to allow you drafting and focus on your weak areas. 3 years ago we had so many up and coming wide receivers and tight ends we cut people like Hogan and lost Chandler and started playing with a strength position to the point we were so desperate we had to pay Harvin $2m for 6 catches (as I recall). That took time away from working omn other weak areas. Last year RB was a strength of this team. Now we rip it apart and spend countless amounts of energy and perhaps a draft choice that needs to be spent elsewhere. We are doing the same with LB's rather than working on the created wideout weakness and the Oline. These constant efforts to destroy your own strengths come at great costs. 17 years no playoffs.

I have often thought while watching the games that many quarterbacks have been the victim of over coaching. They are not given freedom to audible, or given far too many plays and once they lose the confidence because they stop thinking and their mind becomes mush. They have voices in their helmets and soon lose the ability to lead. How can 10 other guys follow when they know he is not the leader.

if a team does its job there is no way short of career ending injury, that a team should have to use a 1st round pick twice in a decade..never mind twice in 5 years. We rebuilt the wide receivers to the point we had too many 3 years ago and Rex and Whaley cut the wrong people. We rebuilt the DB's with Gilmore and Darby and Williams and Bryd and now only 3 years later it is a huge weakness. This is on management for not doing their job.

if ruining a teams chemistry and potential by committing selfish acts is not a team cancer then I have no idea wha tis. Do you think he didn't encourage others to follow him to the fun times....he is not committed to team so by definition he is a cancer.

he is stupid for hurting his career and his potential for a little drups and pot. He is stupid for lying to the team and the fans about treatment processes which he had no plan to fulfill. He is no longer a young man looking to find his way. He is the highest paid player (of close to it) and has failed to live to his commitment thus hurting his team, teammates and all the fans. Even you suggest only one more chance, our only disagreement is as far as I am concerned he had his last chance. he has been playing beside the most committed player on the team for a few years and that had no effect. By the time he grows up it will be time to retire. We let Gilmore go and he came to work. Dareus is a cancer.

Byrd is a smart player who is a ball hawk, but poor in every other aspects of his game. A bad tackler, not particularly brave and quite selfish all aspects that do not support team play. Also being on the same team as coach Byrd would undermine the dressing room.

You cannot change the culture of this team unless Dareus is gone.....he is the biggest cancer to having a TEAM. Selfish, unreliable, untruthful, and a stupid cheater. All characteristics that are more harmful to a team than any number of sacks can help.

I will start the rumor , they are going to cut Gronk because they cannot keep him sober during victory parades. ​

you have no idea that Whaley didn't want Tyrod, reports are only guesses by people who think they are journalists but are actually gossip producers. The fact they kept Whaley because a few gossipers think he should be gone is hardly reason to make this kind of conclusion.

the Buffalo media Does NOT report on things the way they are. The form opinions and write a column. When do local writers ever get a scoop. When do local writers ever get info before the national press. The local press regurgitates what they read and then issue their opinion. The local press went crazy when Coach Dickerson had a radio show as he often got insider scoops (plus he new all the players and coaches). Not that I loved Dickerson but he had info and a bone to pick....maybe from players or coaches or Sandy, Marv's sec...who knows. But the BN press after all these years has NO ONE they get good truth from. A great example is Dareus...not one local press guy has dug up the truth on his suspensions, treatment, lies about treatment facilities, banned drug use, car accidents, etc etc. They wrote more about Bruuuuuuuce Smith's sleep apnea at a traffic light 20 years ago, than Dareus as he screws the team and his team mates with lies, not performance and bull-poop. .

This is a debate that no one can win but we do learn something from this article. Sept 8 2009....days before the season kickoff, the starting offensive left tackle (Trent Edwards was the QB) # 68 Langston Walker was cut. We then made the decision to start the ever popular and future hall of famer Demetrius Bell. I recall the day, Dick Jauron head coach was blindsided by the press and later admitted he knew nothing of the transaction. His O line had been set and was planning for the season when this occurred. While I have no respect for Jauron as a Head Coach it was apparent neither did the front office. Here is what I see. In 2009 the team owner was different, the GM was different, the team President was different, the head coach was different, the record was about the same and the CONSTANT here is Overdorf who controlled the cap budget and contracts and set the rooster using his financial skills (experience is a great thing but can perpetuate the same outcomes) He is doing it again with our QB. Pencil pushers should never be given power in maters of people, personnel, or quality. Overdorf should be fired and the Pegula should know better than to allow an accountant to make decisions in their business.

any relation to J Peterman. Maybe Elaine Benes can help recruit him. At least he will be well dressed.

can't wait for tomorrow's story on Harvin and how he still has an upside.

Jay Skurski has wasted column space with the ultimate football question. What to do with Reggie Bush? Jay has just joined the ranks of Jerry S. society. Such lazy journalism. Other than Mrs Bush and maybe a Kardasian or 2 there is nobody in the world who gives a rats a?? The way he played and gave it his all, even Reggie doesn't care....he just needed the money along with Spikes and Harvin.​

1,agree 2agree, Gilmore is not worth the future trouble 3 we do need wide receivers capable of being professional receivers....from where I am not sure but drafting is a start but not likely the answer 4Woods can go...he will be aver paid in free agency and will never be more than a second receiving option 5 We cannot play Williams , he needs to get out with his health. Frankly I think he is outstanding person but as a result of his injury makes other DB shy 6 If Jones has no future then cut him and draft, but I think it is a waste to use a draft choice on a flyer QB when we just did that, we have so many other needs and we have TT 7 Dareus should be cut, or traded. He has lied and been such a disappointment to his teammates and fans he needs to be shown the door to fix the culture. A new coach needs to take control. No one controls or IMHO can control Dareus. He can be replaced by any 3rd round draft choice. He misses have the games for one reason or another. 8.agree, 4 - 3 is the only answer.

Hoyer is not half the QB that TT is and will put us in a position to win 3 or 4 games next year. If that is your goal then get rid of Darius first and save the money and embarrassments he will put the team through again and again

None of this discussion is worth sh??. If it were true surely Vic Carrucci or Jerry Sullivan or at the very least 26corner blitz would be all knowing since they are right on top of all things Bills, are true insiders (or so they let you think they are)...so if they have not held their "presser" then this is total speculation. Hold the presses until the truth is spoken by our local Bills "experts" sorry for the sarcasm, but couldn't resist. Oh how we over react to some reported speculation.

If you knew who Vick was when he was drafted would you draft him. He never left his posse and they came with him.

Rex fired the Off Coordinator in less time when he D was falling apart Rex's first move was to have some beers and wings at the Big Tree......that is as close as he got to doing the right thing for 2 years

Glanville was the Rex R before Rex was. I would love to see the same thing done to Rex....

never believed the NFL should have been involved in gambling ( which is what the medical list is) and now the influence on fantasy leagues (which is also gambling) There is no other reason why this stuff is so important. Who cares if insiders would have gambling advantage.

Time to cut Dareus, 2 yrs late but it needs to be done.
