Warcodered Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 If that's the reason they made a splash move that'd be so dumb, fans would care more about the team remaining good than a splashy move at the time you're announcing the stadium deal. The fans are going to feel the costs of the deal down the road the team still needs to be good then. 4 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Josh Allen keeps this fan base engaged and willing to fork over cash. It’s all about the QB. Would FA adds be nice, yes, we could improve in some areas like any team. But Beane built a championship roster imo. Should have won it this year but coaching effed it up. I believe they will win the SB in the next 3 years, regardless of a big splash FA add. Beane’s typical FA adds work for me. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Buffalo Bills owners Terry and Kim Pegula were visible presences at the combine, and that team could make a big off-field headline in the next couple of weeks regarding a deal with Buffalo and Erie County for a new stadium.

When she harps on people are "not fans of Both buffalo sports teams, its one or the other" I don't think she said that... she said there is not a huge percentage of fans who have season tickets for both teams. Honestly, who would buy Sabres season tickets right now? You are making it sound different than what she said. A "big splash" would be trading for Kahlil Mack, who is believed to be on the trade market...or, I suppose, signing Gronkowski?

turftoe Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) Thumbs up for Khalil Mack if he has recovered from his foot surgery and the cost is reasonable. Thumbs down to trading for Terry’s Penn State connected Barkley. Thumbs mostly down for McCaffrey trade. Thumbs sideways for Chandler Jones unless his $ is too high. I was thumbs up until I watched the numerous YouTube videos of him being dominated by Trent Williams. Probably over rated. Bring back Jerry Hughes for 1 more year. Draft a good DT to pair with Ed Oliver in round 2 or 3. Draft Dax Hill at 25. I think he can play any spot in our secondary.

HappyDays Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 This is speculation written by someone that doesn't understand how the Bills are run.

That's No Moon Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Your input is neither requested nor required Terry. You already wrecked your other toy with "splashy" moves in free agency. If you need something to do go consult your yacht builder and hassle them over details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
