  1. +1 One-year-wonder for friggin UNC and it wasn't even his senior year... Plus he's soft from what I saw in the senior bowl. Oh and he has disgusting brands on his arms which I would rather not look at ever again.

     

    I've gotta agree. I work at UNC, and know people associated with athletics who are always high on their own players. But even they have concerns about Coples' drive and determination. He's got the physical skills, no doubt, but maybe not the will to succeed in the NFL. Could he turn it around? Yes. Is he worth risking the #10 overall pick? No.

  2. so why does Chan get a free pass for hiring a buffoon to run the defense and then another free pass when he kept him for a 2nd year?

     

    We don't know the circumstances behind all that. Isn't it plausible that Wanny may have been the one who wanted a back-seat role for a year? Who knows, maybe to transition back to the nfl, or maybe to get a sense of what the team had and where it was going before he wanted to go all-in. Not saying Chan SHOULD get a free pass, just saying that there is so much the goes on behind the scenes that nobody outside of a front office or clubhouse will ever know about.

  3. So, since many are bringing up the "what now" type questions about cap, other free agents, draft board, etc, I thought it would be worthwhile to bump this topic too.

     

    Obviously the political capital the Bills acquired yesterday was huge. Everyone is delirious with joy. Clearly their aim in paying $100M for a player wasn't just to get $100M in state funding. But how will the stadium lease issue unfold now?

  4. I just want to see the defense get off the field on 3rd down.

     

    I don't care if it's a sack/pressure/FF/INT/or just a regular stop short of the sticks.

     

    Just get off the damn field.

     

    ^^^

    100% this. I'm not much of an X's and O's guy. But I do know that an effective defense gets the ball back to your offense quickly, often, and with good field position. Just get it done.

  5. Did anyone catch the 5 or so minutes spent talking about the Bills on Mike and Mike this morning, around 8:15? Greeny drew a cool parallel between good players (like Bilas) going to Duke before it was "cool" and Reggie White going to Green Bay before it was "cool" and how the big time recruit/free agent choosing a lesser-known place very often leads to other recruits/free agents taking notice and wanting to play there too.

     

    Of course we have to wait to see what happens on the field, but this really feels like a new day in Bills Nation.

  6. I wouldn't be at all surprised. When we picked up TO, it was compelling enough to get us a few primetime (Sunday/Monday) games. Now that we landed the biggest fish in free agency (with an intact neck), I'm sure it'll make the deciders sit up and take notice.

  7. In my line of work, I cross paths with a lot of wealthy, elderly men (and women). At some point many of them come to grips with their own mortality and adopt a very healthy, pragmatic view on death and their own resources, and they start to think about what they would like to do with their money that's meaningful to them in terms of either the here and now, or their legacy. One of my favorite sayings from one of these old guys I worked with (who did pass away last year) is: "You never see a Brinks truck following a funeral procession."

     

    But I sincerely hope Mr. Wilson ain't going anywhere soon, and we finally get that Lombardi trophy for him, the team and all of us.
