9 Or ‘The wRexing Crew’...lol

I just tuned in and as usual the worst part of the show is the opening. Followed by when they don’t have guests on. All Tasker does is go on endlessly about his not so interesting life from present to 30+ years ago. Likely he could the whole show, he’s finds himself so very captivating...lol Obviously the producer could do something but doesn’t. As Darcy said there would be...#suffering Truly #onebuffalo ?

Offense or Defense in Round 1
Watching since 1964 replied to BillsVet's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Likely they also have trade proposals in place (that would include pick(s) from rounds 4-7) for a veteran DT as a backup plan if they go offense early. -
Was Buddy Nix A Good GM? Make Your Case

I asked Mark Gaughan about the EJ pick and he replied that it was Nix’s and Whaley’s together. -
McD's worst decision this year...
Watching since 1964 replied to re enlightener's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd like someone other than Tolbert as #2 RB as well. And I think that will happen when they're satisfied with certain aspects of the next guys' up game. That being said, I haven't seen the replay today, but it seemed like a great play by the ATL tackler who appeared to injure Tolbert's hand with his helmet causing the fumble. -

Although McD was understandably very guarded in what he said today, I liked that he said that JW "did everything we asked him to." -

Dareus sent home for violating a team rule

I wonder how much knowing for awhile that it may come to a point where MD may have to be released factored into the FO not signing Gilmore and trading Sammy, since letting MD go would put a stranglehold on their cap for several years. -

Go on record regarding the trades
Watching since 1964 replied to Kirby Jackson's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I hear what people are saying about Bflo not picking up the 5th year option. However, it would have much riskier for teams trading for him, being obligated to the 5th year when his health is still a big question mark. This way the Rams have a lot more flexibility. They can evaluate if his health and performance warrant a long term deal. Or, at the minimum, they could still franchise tag him. -

GM Doug Whaley has been fired
Watching since 1964 replied to Roundybout's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
While no fan of Whaley's, for the reasons you mentioned and more, I'm trying to do something I normally don't do on the subject...be open minded. lol Sal C. (@salsports) weighed in on DW and the EJ pick the other day... He tweeted this on 04/27/17. "He DID set up the board. And he had EJ as the top ranked QB. That doesn't mean he did or even would have taken him in Rd 1." You are right about him saying back in '13 talking that if after 3 years if EJ didn't work out, he'd be looking for a job. He put it this way to the media... "Hey guys...anybody got a job for me?" He was having a little fun with them. Not sure if he was 100% serious. Here's that clip... -
http://www.rochesterfirst.com/sports/nfl/nfl-buffalo/mcdermott-preps-for-his-first-draft/695114050 McDermott preps for his first draft Question remains, who gets the final say? By: Dan Fetes Posted: Apr 20, 2017 04:49 PM EDT Updated: Apr 20, 2017 04:49 PM EDT Orchard Park - With all the change in the Bills organization over the last few months, one thing remains the same. Who gets the final say? First year head coach Sean McDermott is preparing for his first draft and addressed the media today and NOT general manager Doug Whaley. While McDermott confirmed that Whaley has complete control of the 53 man roster it was unclear as to who gets the final call in the war room on draft night. McDermott added that owner Terry Pegula will have also have a voice in the decision on picks but said that the final call will come down to Whaley and himself. But what if they disagree? McDermott's answer seemed unclear. "At the end of the day we agree at the end of it all. That's what we do. Iron sharpens iron at the end of the day, so we say this is how I feel, this is how you feel and we hammer it out, if it takes all day. Thats what great teams do they have healthy conversation and they continue to hammer things out because at the end of the day if you do that you come to the right decision for the football team." The problem is the Bills wont have 'all day' to agree. Whoever makes the final call and whenever that decision is made McDermott wants their draft pick to be like his vehicle. "If you go out in the parking lot and look at my car and the type of car I drive I think you'll see I'm not into flash. I drive a pick up truck but I like to put armor-all on the tires every once in a while also right. We're going to pick a guy for the right seasons where there's flash on him whether there's armor-all on those tires or not is a bonus I guess," said McDermott.

Saw this when this ever popular subject came up on twitter a while back. Includes vid with Doug Whaley. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Published: May 17, 2013 at 04:35 p.m. Updated: May 18, 2013 at 02:49 a.m. New Bills GM Doug Whaley integral in EJ Manuel pick http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000204027/article/new-bills-gm-doug-whaley-integral-in-ej-manuel-pick "The Buffalo Bills raised plenty of eyebrows after taking EJ Manuel with the No. 16 pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, making him the first quarterback to go off the board. New general manager Doug Whaley isn't shy about taking ownership of the pick, even if he was second-in-command to Buddy Nix at the time. "I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said on NFL Network's "NFL Total Access" on Thursday. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board." Whaley did allow that it was a "collaborative effort" between area scouts, cross-checkers, coach Doug Marrone and Nix, but the new front-office boss is comfortable with hanging his hat on Manuel after vetting the quarterback in the pre-draft process. "We have a philosophy that the information makes the decision," Whaley explained. "We think that we did enough due diligence, and the information pointed us all to this point that EJ would be the guy we feel will take the Buffalo Bills into the future." Whaley's confidence is refreshing after Nix seemed to be in over his head while running the show for three and a half years. According to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, Whaley is a "bright young star" who has impressed colleagues with his smarts and personnel acumen in his time with the Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bills finally seem pointed in the right direction. It now falls on Whaley's hand-picked franchise quarterback to end the longest active playoff drought in the NFL."
