C.Biscuit97 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I love how people bash the Bills for their mistakes and ignore their fallout slaughtering of the Colts in this trade. It's also funny how the Colts' GM is thought to be good because he drafted Luck. He has made some terrible trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think everyone agrees the trade worked out well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good can't be thrown out with the bad and the bad can't be thrown out because of the good. This was a great trade for us. We took Indy to the woodshed. Indy should really quit trading...they're not very good at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) I love how people bash the Bills for their mistakes and ignore their fallout slaughtering of the Colts in this trade. It's also funny how the Colts' GM is thought to be good because he drafted Luck. He has made some terrible trades. The Trent Richardson trade takes the cake but the Bills came out ahead in this one too. Problem is, the Colts tanked at just the right time to suck into Luck and this will likely color all these missteps. Much like Polian's tenure with the Colts was terrible but was covered up by the Manning draft. Edited August 30, 2014 by Fan in Chicago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I love how people bash the Bills for their mistakes and ignore their fallout slaughtering of the Colts in this trade. It's also funny how the Colts' GM is thought to be good because he drafted Luck. He has made some terrible trades. They should thank polian for sucking for luck. It's probably the only time in recent memory there was a clear nearly zero risk concensus #1 pick. Not a franchise on earth would have missed it.

26CornerBlitz Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 @evansilva #Colts cut Kelvin Sheppard. Traded Jerry Hughes to the #Bills for Sheppard last April. Colossal mistake by Grigson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Anyone else interested in bringing him back as LB depth? He was decent against the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Nice trade, Mr. Whaley. So, do we love our front office again? I'm confused. hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Crickets from the OBD critics. Just wait... Someone will chime in lamenting the pick up of Sheppard to start with. Personally I am not sure if Schwarz's scheme will impact Hughes' play but no matter what happens in the future this trade was outstanding by our guys.

Billsguy Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I love how people bash the Bills for their mistakes and ignore their fallout slaughtering of the Colts in this trade. Buddy Nix actually came out ahead on this deal. Good for Buddy! What do you want? A parade? The Colts GM also gave a 1st round pick for Trent Richardson. These trades may say more about the Colts stupidity than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like Polian's tenure with the Colts was terrible but was covered up by the Manning draft. It also shows how much a qb can make your team. The Bills have a better roster than the Colts, except one position. I do think Luck is a tad overrated. Still very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Anyone else interested in bringing him back as LB depth? He was decent against the run. I don't think he'd make the cuts. Rivers, spikes, Preston, Nigel are a nice group of lbs.. A number of which can play at least two of the three spots. Dam I would have enjoyed watching kiko with this group.

And I just want the same attention as the Bulls get for their bad moves. But I realize that won't happen because people love the negative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Anyone else interested in bringing him back as LB depth? He was decent against the run. I thought he was awful. Slow reactions, not good enough shredding blocks. Preston Brown looks far quicker and more instinctive. Sheppard was a really good college player. I had high hopes for him. He just never looked like an NFL MLB to me. It's been an absolute treat watching Brandon Spikes in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In qb threads, no, but there's a lot of attention to the bills having a solid 50 outside the question marks at qb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
