No, we would still have EJ in his 6th year, all he needed was more time.

Welcome Derek Anderson to the legion of Bills veteran scrub QBs!

Thanks, that's great. Love playing what-if.

I thought it was pretty bad. Someone behind us started clapping when it was over, and I wanted to throw something at him. A Star Is Born was OK, not great, but the Dolby experience was amazing. AMC A-List rocks, already got tix for Halloween in Dolby, just waiting now for First Man and Bohemian Rhapsody to become available and I’ll be set.

Holcomb > JP.

Many people did, I've read it on this board.

I still think Hopkins is better than Sammy.

I wanted to give him credit for Colin Brown, but he was already here. Whaley just trusted him to take over for Andy Levitre.

https://buffalonews.com/2017/09/22/inside-bills-jordan-poyer-got-buffalo-came/ As it turns out, those who know Poyer best swear this exact moment was destined to arrive. “Yes! Absolutely,” Bills assistant defensive backs coach Bobby Babich says when asked whether he thought Poyer would be this good, this fast with a new team. “People don’t understand the amount of work that Jordan Poyer puts in and the time he spends. He’s absolutely relentless.” Babich is the main reason Poyer is in Buffalo. Having spent two-plus years with him in Cleveland, he saw firsthand a star in the making. Poyer just needed the right opportunity, Babich believed, and he would take the NFL by storm. That’s why, with the Bills needing help at safety as free agency approached this past March, Babich campaigned hard for Poyer. “I brought his name up to all the people who are above me and said, ‘hey, this is a guy we need to take a look at,’ ” Babich said. “Everybody that was involved in the decision looked at the tape that he did have, listened to my input, and we ended up with Jordan.” Even as a 34-year-old assistant DBs coach, Babich said there was “zero hesitation” on his part to push so hard for his bosses to sign Poyer. “Jordan Poyer is a person and a player that I have no issue sticking my neck out on the line for,” he said. “I believe that he fit exactly what we want as far as looking for players with our DNA.” Coach Sean McDermott and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier agreed, wasting little time in securing Poyer’s services. The team signed him to a four-year contract worth up to $13 million. At the time, it looked like big money for a player who had made just 10 career starts and was coming back from a devastating injury. Today, it looks like highway robbery. “I think he’s a complete player in terms of what he’s done,” McDermott said. “We had some inside knowledge of what Jordan brings to the table, or brought to the table back then, and now what we’re seeing him bring to the table for this football team. … Two games in, I couldn’t say more about the way he’s played.” “Boy, it was a great decision,” added Frazier. “He’s really stepped up like we were all hoping that he would.”

Don't forget he also blessed us with: Doug Legursky Bryce Brown Keith Rivers Chris Williams Charles Clay Jerome Felton Corey White and Reggie Bush

2-3 with 3 road games already played, soon to be 4. Not bad, tough schedule to start the year.

I will view today as something positive because the Bills won.

I hope Rick gets chomped on by at least 10 zombies, somehow slips away, and ends up dying a slow horrible painful death.

The verdict isn't in though on all of Beane's moves, unlike Whaley who we all know was an all around FAILURE.

No, I don't want to count them because he had nothing to do with either of them. Hyde was McD, and Poyer was McD (w/ Bobby Babich). He can have the gift of Shady and Alexander, I have no problem with that

Another Beane gem.

Of course you're not going to count Poyer or Hyde, he or his staff had nothing to do with either of them.

He's holding out for the Pats job once Belichick finally retires.

"Tear down the Ralph statue, and you kill the curse once-and-for-all."

!@#$ you Vrabel!

Ray Ray!

Mariota is such garbage. Cmon Josh, don’t let this clown steal a win.

What an outstanding thread, thanks @ShadyBillsFan, keep up the great work, it is very much appreciated! I haven’t seen anyone else mention it, but I would just like to add !@#$ Mike Vrabel.

As always, I look at the bottom line. Nix owns the drafting of EJ. Whaley owns keeping him on the roster for 4 years.

I can’t imagine trying to eat lunch and that mug walks into the break room.
