I never said we were capable of beating super bowl contending teams nor did I say we are close to being a serious playoff contending team. I know you want to get emotional but try to trust your eyes and not your heart. I said we are a viable team (that means capable), and have enough talent with a QB that could win. Of course we have holes and some are gaping, but I think most teams do. Not the super bowl contending teams but the good teams trying to get there have them. I also realize that what I'm saying is conjecture and can't be proven but with all do respect so is this article and everything you've said. We just don't know what kind of team we would have if we had a QB. I'm of the opinion that with one we could win.

I totally disagree with everything you've said. Everything! 1) "We have a small salary cap problem" - Wrong 2) "Paying too much for many players" - Wrong. Definition of many is majority or a large number. You can't name 10% of our players we're "over paying". In fact you said "Can anyone tell me who we are overpaying...to be in that trouble..it must be everyone". 3) "No one wants to play for the Bills without being overpaid" - Wrong. Stevie took a very reasonable salary. 4) "and we allow ourselves to create another hole" (with letting Levitre go) - You chastise our FO for being fiscally irresponsible so that players who normally wouldn't want to play here will. Then want to over pay a guard? Is this your plan for getting us out of the "salary cap problem"? We are a team void of a quarterback. I'd argue we are in better shape than other teams that have decided on a QB but they just haven't admitted he's not the one to lead them .... yet. We have made that decision and are in a position to try again. We are in excellent financial standing. We are also a team that has a lot of talent which in years past wasn't the case. This front office has done a good job, not great, but a good job of building a viable team. With a solid QB we can win now, and with a good QB could go to the playoffs.

How did you come up with the rake analogy? How about "Did he borrow Wilma Flintstone's cell phone to take that picture?" Hahahahaha

How would you make the logo better? It's a Dolphin!

Don't check to stop from hurting feelings, check so you'll know what you're talking about, which you clearly don't. " According to a league document obtained by Gaughan, Anderson's contract is actually worth $19.5 million over four years - a rather substantial discrepancy. Gaughan also notes that the only portion of Anderson's salary that is guaranteed is $7.9 million, which includes a $6 million signing bonus and his first-year salary of $1.9 million. He'll earn an additional $100,000 from a workout bonus. If the Bills wish to cut ties with him at any point after his initial season, they can do so and not owe him anything. Anderson's base salary will be $2.5 million, $4 million and $5 million in respective subsequent years. The $4.875 million per year average will likely be much more palatable to Bills fans than the $6.875 million deal that was reported last week"

I'm not so sure I agree with you. I think that there may be some hate but by in large that person will be protected. In fact I think even more than the non gay players. Would you want to be the coach that is faced with having to cut the first gay player? Would you like to be the men that play the same position as the gay player, feeling like you'll get cut before they will? I do think there will be whispers and stuff like that, but there won't be an outrage. This person is going to be exalted.

Here's what's on my mind about it (shut up jboyst, haha). What if the said player comes out and then gets cut in preseason cuts or worse doesn't get cut and should have? Or say the gay player gets cut 2 years into a 5 year deal like many many many NFL players do? It's going to cause a storm that no one will be able to contain. No one ever talks about how negative it can be to make such an announcement.

Most likely what happened.

The fact you think Anderson makes 8 million speaks volumes.

I think over half would want us to sign him for that kind of money.

I can't wait until Ralph is no longer running things so we can finally get back to where we were before he bought us.

Wow I had no idea. Thanks for telling us.

Yes and they went against Ralph's philosophy of delicately balancing doing just enough to fill the seats and never winning. Basically they were insubordinate.

That's one of the best explanations of the dangers of signing free agents I've read.

Give me Zac Dysert and we don't have to worry about drafting anyone else this year or for the next 15.

We did. Fire Chan that is.

In every report of Dysert's 40 time, it's never been over 5 seconds.

At least he didn't call him Andy Corpsman pronouncing the P.

He runs a 4.65 40, hardly slow. He's got excellent arm strength.

Winner

I think he meant, if I was someone rich, younger, and lived in Buffalo I would buy the team.

I think there's a 0% chance Jordan is there at 8.

I took it that way Big Cat. Guess I was just piling on with my own confusion.

Yeah I'm not saying that's what he meant Big Cat, it's just the way I translated it. He said there's definitely two long term starters, then says the key is to pick the two out, and that's what we're doing now. So he's guaranteeing two starters but admits their not done evaluating. How could he make that guarantee without being done doing the homework unless he's using another source of data? Weird huh?
