H2o Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Seriously you hope it falls flat? I will never understand a fan like this. I don't care if it is the dumbest move in the world. I am ALWAYS hoping it works out for the Bills. No smart guy, I mean I hope it falls flat and the trade doesn't happen. Not that McCoy comes here and sucks.

DrDawkinstein Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 A couple of things. I hope the Bills made sure that McCoy would be good with the trade and that he would be willing to restructure before making the trade. If not, the incompetence of the front office continues. I get that its a long thread, but it would be nice if any Bills "fans" could do a little reading before bashing the team/FO. Its already been reported that McCoy wants an extension, and the Bills want to restructure. A new deal will get done. Good lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haslett_Stomp Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Are there concerns with Kiko's knee? Didn't read the entire thread so I apologize if this was discussed earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klos63 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 For those talking cap hit, do you REALY TRULY believe our front office didn't consider that? Honestly, with the ability to restructure, salary cap hits are almost moot. Come on, you're making sense. Can't do that here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proteus Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 You know.....the more people like you talk the more I am for this trade I am not a fan of the trade I will admit but I love the team and the only thing I can do is roll with it. The need to put some serious dough into the offensive line. As for listening to "people like me talk" I understand your love for the team but if you get offended by when someone criticizes a Bills trade, I think that shows your love for the team is skewing your opinion.

Good lord. http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sl146j @josinaanderson "A source close to McCoy on whether they believe McCoy will make a trade to Buffalo difficult, in light of McCoys initial reaction to the news: "It'll be interesting to see how this process plays itself out because he's an interesting individual. In your mind, when you think of Buffalo you think of cold and losing games. Its not like its the Philadelphia market where youre always on t.v. and youre playing for the division titleIt was unexpected. I'll tell you that much." More: "A source close to LeSean McCoy on how the #Eagles RB feels about news of an agreement to trade him to Buffalo: "Hes a Pennsylvania kid. Hes never played football outside of Pennsylvaniahigh school, college, pro. So of course he's not happy. Sounds like its pretty final to me unless LeSean is refusing to go to Buffalo."

BuffaninATL Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Please tell me the Bills wouldn't trade the DROY. That wouldn't actually happen would it? Would it?! hate to break it to you, but Kiko wasn't DROY - http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000321595/article/sheldon-richardson-wins-defensive-rookie-of-the-year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry about that so much. He pretty much has to play given that he has maybe 3 good years left in him given his age. He'll show up and play especially given that he has a very generous contract. He may not be a happy camper now for all i know, but he'll play.

Proteus Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Come on, you're making sense. Can't do that here. Yet many who are for the trade are against paying Jerry Hughes less. Edited March 4, 2015 by Proteus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 with all due respect, based on what complete body of work? Dude played like he was shot out of a cannon for the first half (or less) of the 2013 season, then dropped off considerably. Doesn't equate to a generational talent in my book.... Let me ask this> did you ever notice how quickly Alonso moved to the play? almost before the snap. Very instinctive Kid. He was never going to shed/stack guards or centers. he would be best with running room. which is why they played him a step deeper from scrimmage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Well, im guessing now that if they hadn't dealt this year's #1 for Sammy, they'd be dealing it for Shady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How our run defense was awful until someone replaced him..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I think you should end your tantrum. There are teams with strong QB, QB who give DC's grey hairs, who can maintain a great running game with a workhorse back. Stafford. Rodgers. Brady. Then there are teams whose strategy is still "our star RB, and whoever hands the ball off to him". Seattle during Wilson's rookie year. Houston. And yeah, SF tended that way with Smith under center. FA isn't open yet. I think this says they don't have a great solution at QB in their sights, they intend to go all in for a strong line and a star RB that will maximize the potential of whoever they manage to scare out of the bushes (or EJ). And I think they may have liked McCown enough - maybe thought they could reproduce his year in Chicago - that they might have gone in a different direction. But he didn't sign here. So..... next plan My one fear is that McCoy and his agent get stupid about this. Time for a sales pitch. Whaley is a Pennsylvania boy, Rex is charming, Mario likes B'lo now. Book the table at Tempo. alright Brother. But i might stew awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 This trade shows who is in charge in Buffalo, and it ain't Whaley. This is ALL Rex Ryan. Whaley is not trading his best draft pick (based on draft slot) for a RB. 1) Whaley does not have the sort of outsized ego that would prevent him from improving his team by refusing to move a player just because it was his draft pick 2) Do you have any idea exactly how long Doug has known LeSean McCoy? 3) No matter how many times you try to put it on Rex, it will never become any truer. I don't think either team "lost" the deal. They both will probably be a little better for it over the next 3-4 years and by then both guys will be held together with too much duct tape and bailing wire to be impact players. The Bills get significantly better in an area of need and only give up a LB in the middle of a deep rotation. No worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
