Mr. WEO, I watched the game and saw McKelvin get burned often during the game. I didn't realize Cutler threw at him 14 times (and he gave up 10 catches), that's a big problem. Last year, McKelvin looked solid as a CB, but in the preseason and in Sunday's game he looked bad most of the time (minus the fumble and in OT when the ball hit him in the chest).

I'm sure this has been discussed before, but after reading the article this morning from the Buffalo News which stated McKelvin was targeted 14 times and gave up 10 receptions, that was a big eye opener.

http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/forum/1-the-stadium-wall/ “McKelvin led the Bills with a team-high 13 tackles, but that’s not ideal for a cornerback. According to analytics website Pro Football Focus, which charts every play of every NFL game, McKelvin was targeted 14 times in coverage by the Bears, giving up 10 catches.” On Sunday, Corey Graham had a great game filling in for Stephon Gilmore, while McKelvin had an up-and-down day. Graham had an interception and three passes defended against the Bears. It looks like Gilmore will be back in the starting lineup on Sunday. After being targeted 14 times and giving up 10 catches, it’s apparent the Bears were exploiting McKelvin. While McKelvin is listed ahead of Graham on the depth chart, I feel the Bills should start Graham opposite of Gilmore and give him more reps in the game over McKelvin, otherwise it could be a long day for the Bills secondary on Sunday.

The Buffalo News ‏@TheBuffaloNews now Bon Jovi group bid $1.05 billion, source tells The News' @TomPreciousALB http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/bills-nfl/source-bon-jovi-group-bid-105-billion-could-have-gone-higher-20140909 …

We have a winner!!! Joe Buscaglia ‏@JoeBuscaglia now League source tells me that the deal between the #Bills and Terry and Kim Pegula is done. Now just pending league approval Thank you Terry & Kim!!!

I'm just going by what John Kryk and John Wawrow have been saying all along.

If there's no proof of what's in the NDA, then answer this, why did Morgan Stanley reject JBJ's first bid, then told them to talk to Jim Kelly to make his bid more "Bills Friendly?"

I take it you haven't been following the sales process closely. The Bills trust was set up by Mr. Wilson before his death composing of Mrs. Wilson and other Bills front office management with the intention of selling it to a person/group that will commit to keeping the Bills in Buffalo long-term (beyond the current lease). The Bills trust had it's bank create a very strict Non-Disclosure Agreement stating it would not sell to a person/group who it felt would move the Bills out of Western New York.

JBJ does not have the money to bid $1.5B. In order to be controlling owner of the Bills, JBJ has to bid at least 30% of the final price. JBJ's net worth is $300M, so the most his group could bid is $1.2B. Also, JBJ has made no assurances that his group will keep the Bills in Buffalo beyond the current lease with Erie County.

Just because the Toronto group is confident, doesn't mean they are going to win. It's still Pegula's to lose. :thumbsup: Tim Graham ‏@ByTimGraham 2m Though some outlets have reported Golisano out of derby, other sources say still interested. Unsure if he bid today. Plays by his own rules.

Tim Graham ‏@ByTimGraham 2m Pegula bid is in. Trump bid is in. And I'm told the Bon Jovi/Toronto group is quietly confident it can pull off an upset. Tim Graham ‏@ByTimGraham 3m Multiple bids submitted today for Bills. Trust's target price higher than $1 billion the Browns sold for in 2012 almost certainly to be met.

WIVB News 4 Buffalo ‏@news4buffalo 3m RT @LaurenBrill4: Source says 100 percent Donald Trump making a final bid but he isn't going to over bid.

Seantrel Henderson will have to bring his "A" game next week against Cameron Wake next week. I just saw the highlights from the Patriots/Dolphins and Wake had 2 strip sacks on Brady.

Special Teams was horrendous last year. Today it looked much improved.

I had concerns about the O-line going into the game as they we're put together not even two weeks ago. I figured there would be issues opening up holes in the run game and thought Manuel would take more hits/sacks than what he did. It's going to take some time for these guys to gel, but I expect to see the O-line progress each week.

The offensive play calling was good in the first half. In the second half, it seemed like Hackett reverted back to his preseason play calling. McKelvin had an up and down game. I was very impressed with Corey Graham and hope to see more of him in the starting line up.

I agree, but let's enjoy the win today!

Same here, glad to be wrong.

With those prices, I don't blame you. I haven't found a place anywhere here in VA that makes chicken wings the way we're used to them in Buffalo, so I bought a deep fryer and cook them myself.

At home with the kids. I'm deep frying wings (20 BBQ, 20 Mild (Anchor Bar sauce)), celery, carrots, bleu cheese, chips and dip.

Maybe Brandon & Whaley will fire Marrone at the end of the season and promote Schwartz to HC and Pepper Johnson to DC (please fire Hackett also!!)

I remember when I posted this thread and got some negative comments saying I was making something out of nothing, blowing things out of proportion, etc… I’d like to hear back from those geniuses now…still don’t think there’s a problem at OBD? http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/170096-turmoil-brewing-between-marrone-and-whaley/ “Mike Rodak ‏@mikerodak 1h Marrone was clearly upset about something. Had some choice language reporters could hear from sideline. Whaley threw up arms in response. Mike Rodak ‏@mikerodak 1h Marrone, Whaley, and Brandon having an animated conversation as Palmer, Manuel, Tuel warm up.”

Wrong, it's Glass Joe!!

Nope. Even when the lease runs out at the Ralph, the NFL relocation fee is around $400-$600M. So if the Bills sell for $1.1B, a new stadium will cost anywhere from $700M-$1B+, then add on the relocation fee, so the Toronto group would be looking at paying between $2.2B-$2.7B+, and that's if the league approves of the move which takes only 9 NFL owners to say "No."
