cba fan Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Thank the Football Gods Bills did not give back McCoy for Jordan Matthews. What a fail that would have been. Would rank up with never happened and almost happened and happened fails like the following: Bills wanted Eric Ebron if trade for Sammy Watkins did not get done. Eric Ebron major fail if it would have happened. Drafting Aaron Maybin as Jauron and Levy are clueless. FAIL that it did happen. Instead of Rex and two years of junk, Whaley wanting Hue Jackson and Jim Schwartz and D Watson as QB drafted last year at 10. FAIL that it did not happen. Pegula wanted Mahomes last year. FAIL that it did not happen. And the #1 FAIL: not making Whaley a true GM with hiring power. We would all love him right now going on 3rd straight year of a playoff team with Hue Jackson, Jim Schwartz, and D Watson, or Mahomes,(Whaley would have maneuvered up to get one of them) waiting in wings to make Bills a serious Super Bowl contender in 2018.

Big Hurt Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Finally, we have a GM that is not stupid. I didn't realize Whaley was that stupid until he was gone. It is like stepping on a nail, you only feel that pain after you pull it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steptide Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I woulda done Mccoy for Wentz straight up if the eagles agreed. No way that woulda happened though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearLess Price Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Thank God we didnt do it. Shady is the only thing keeping our offense alive and semi watchable. I really hope we draft a QB in the high 1st round. I dont wanna sit through a season of Pick 5 Peterman starting. Barf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 The offer was probably Mychal Kendricks, Jordan Mathews and a pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eagles first woulda been pick number 31!?!? Come on man really? That's seems kinda goofy! Pick 31 and opening a bunch of cap space and getting young? Let’s say it was last offseason — and maybe not even a first rounder. Would we be better off with shady and Tolbert or something like the Vikings backfield that has depth to handle losing their #1? Say a rookie like cook/Kamara/hunt paired with Murray and another mid tier back? There are arguments to be made.

The Vikings had a passing game and two excellent WRs so those backs were not facing 8 and 9 in the box every play. The Bills can't trade Shady until they have something else that resembles a viable plan on offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flip side— 1) we did not go all in on this year, so youth has some added value 2) we got lucky that shady didn’t miss time as the drop off would’ve been even more substantial 3) did the vikes succeed by relying on a single explosive player or incredible depth? im not arguing it as an obvious choice- just saying it’s probably more debatable than some think Edited February 3, 2018 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 12 hours ago, 26CornerBlitz said: Roseman found the centerpiece of his team in Wentz, but there was one player that he couldn’t add: McCoy. Kelly’s decision to trade McCoy to Buffalo for Alonso never made sense. Roseman tried to get McCoy back in a deal with Buffalo through back-channel intermediaries, according to sources. One of Philly’s off-the-books offers for McCoy, who has been a Pro Bowler in each of his three seasons with the Bills, was a package of players that included wide receiver Jordan Matthews, according to sources. Matthews ultimately was traded to the Bills for cornerback Ronald Darby last summer. Roseman’s desire to bring back McCoy was one of the few moves that he couldn’t pull off, but he had seemingly solved his most glaring problem in the first phase of his accelerated rebuild: He found his franchise quarterback. McCoy for Wentz sounds fair, get er done ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
