I am a proud native Buffalonian and I've watched them for 33 years. The Bills are part of the fabric of Buffalo. I see no reason to stop watching now.

Exactly. Lol. And "building through the draft" isn't a bold move. It's how every successful NFL team is constructed. It's not like baseball or basketball where you can buy a team of superstars.

I guess they view Williams as JAG. Still, he seemed competent, young and cheap. Assuming no extenuating circumstances, first move I don't really see the logic behind.

Who knows? I'll be honest, I don't own a crystal ball. 😊 I will say I'm encouraged by the fact that they had the brains and balls to trade Watkins instead of letting him walk in a year or two for nothing. That is a very tough first sell to a long suffering and salty fanbase.

Staff needs to evaluate both of these guys in regular season action. Makes sense to go with the veteran incumbent at this point. It's easier to switch from Taylor to Peterman than the other way around.

I was 12 and in my living room. I was bummed but figured we'd get back and win one.

4-12. not sure how we move the ball through the air.

He probably was going to be cut. Better to get something rather than nothing. And I don't think you can really assign blame to anyone. He was drafted for the previous scheme and he was the victim of bad luck. It happens.

Shady is 29. We need to trade him asap if we can get anything of value. I would move him for a 2nd in a heartbeat.

That poster is clearly a Watkins jersey owner... lol.

Umm no. I live in San Diego, and what the Chargers fanbase has endured over the past 10 years is 100x worse than what we've experienced as Bills fans. (letting hall of famer Brees walk, replacing 14-2 Schottenheimer with Norv Turner?, losing your gosh darn team to an apathetic Los Angeles fan base).

Lol. So, we are already turning on Beane and McDermott? (and Tyrod and Boldin and God knows who else at this point) Maybe Boldin is just dead tired of playing football. He's 36! How many 36 year old wide receivers do you see in this league? The guy probably ground through a couple weeks of training camp, his body was beat down and wasn't responding, and he said enough is enough. Especially given the team wasn't going anywhere. Irrespective of this Boldin news, I love that Beane seems to recognize the need to rebuild and change the culture. It may or may not work, but we were heading nowhere fast by "staying the course." A Darnold, Allen or Rosen will set us up for longterm success. I believe Beane and McDermott have the resolve to see this through and finally get us on the right track for the next decade. Edit: Sammy needed to be traded. He was always injured and never would have re-signed here. It would have been complete folly to let him play out his contract and walk.

At a minimum, Peterman looks like a guy who is going to stick in the league for awhile. Reads the defense and throws a nice ball. How did he fall all the way to the 5th round?

I'm a UCLA guy, alum, and watch all of their games. Rosen has a great arm. Great accuracy. Just a fantastic thrower of the football. However, his decision making is suspect and he does tend to hold onto the ball too long. In his defense, UCLA's receiving corp has been pathetic during his time there and the offensive line is horrible as well. UCLA averaged something like 2.5 ypc last year. As for his record as a starter, let's remember that he started as a true freshman and only played 6 games his sophomore season. This, his true junior season, is when I would expect him to make the biggest leap. Also keep in mind that UCLA was an all-around bad team last year and went 3-3 with Rosen and 1-5 without him. Rosen was carrying the team until his injury. As for the off the field stuff, I don't have too much of a problem with the things Rosen has said in the media. He's a bright guy. My bigger concern is that there's rumors that he's stubborn and not the most coachable guy. And not the greatest locker room guy either. He's a high first round talent for sure and will be a starter at the NFL level. The question is will he be an Aaron Rodgers or will he be a Jeff George? I'm not sure about the answer to that one.

Rice was ridiculous in his prime. Definitely Jerry for me.

I would move both of these guys for pretty much anything we could get for them at this point. Neither is part of the future of this franchise.

I love this trade! Sammy will struggle with his injured foot all season and rack up maybe 600 yards playing with Goff before walking to the highest bidder. We get another draft chip to angle for our future franchise QB. I'm neutral on the Darby deal, but I see the logic behind it. More than anything, I'm inspired that the new regime has the balls to make what would appear as an unpopular move in the short term for long term success.

Yes and I like it. Darby was trending down and Watkins is made of glass and would have walked after the season. Short term pain for long term gain. These guys have vision and guts.

NP seems to be a natural leader of men. I like Tyrod and hope he takes the next step this season, but I'm also eager to observe NP's development. I feel much better about our QB situation than I have in quite some time. If McDermott can transform the defense back into a formidable unit, we can be a real tough out for teams this year.

Similar story here. My father, who always liked to leave early - even during tight games - insisted we stay to watch the "end of a great run" when my Mom and I wanted to leave after the pick six.

Wow. Just an awful story. My heart hurts for the Heap family and any other family that has to endure these types of tragedies. Not sure how he will go on, but as a father myself, I know he will have to find a way given he has a wife and 4 other kids who need him present. If there is a god, may he bless this family and bring them peace in time.

Alright. This move ensures that we should be competitive at minimum next season.

I live in San Diego. Fluker sucked.

San Diego is as good as gone. The owner doesn't want to be there and they are doing everything in their power to encourage the city government, residents, and fans to just give up and let them go. Kudos to Mayor Faulconer for at least putting up a fight.

Lol. Guy is doing a statistical comparison between them when Taylor's thrown less than 40 NFL passes. Epitome of stupid.
