  1. I'm torn as usual. Love Mayock on NFLN, and the rest of the crew. But also love Berman talking about the Bills. Berman is the only reason I watch espn anyway!

    NFLN has my vote but this year I am torn as we made a huge splash in FA with Williams and might get some positive press from ESPN

  2. Most of us woke up to the news this morning that RWS renos are trending more toward $200 million! Based on the article the renos are *not* safety oriented and are more along the lines of "modernizing" the facility.

     

    Tax increases of some sort will definitely be involved to pay for this. Is everyone ok with that in order to have the gates moved out?

     

    Are Bills fans ok with seeing ticket prices go up 20-30% to pay for it? Just curious.

     

    Either you pay or they move. Bills fans have had it WAY too good so far with Ralph and company keeping ticket prices so low. If I hear this BS of 'well the economy in WNY just can't support it' then fine.... let them move. Bottom line, time to start paying more or they move, its just life in the NFL

    I always go with the godfathers rankings

  4. Strictly talking defense here.

     

    Over the last couple years (well... longer than that) our porous defense has been especially porous against our AFC East rivals for some reason or another. With the Williams and Anderson signings, are we finally ready to keep our rivals at bay? The way I'm looking at this is that CBs will look better by not having to stick to the WRs hip for 5-6 sec coupled with some new and refreshing QB pressure. QBs will scramble and be taken down or get pushed forward right into Kyle and Marcel.

     

    Matt Moore looked like Tom Brady last year against us and Tom Brady was, well, Tom Brady (I'm talking wk 17 Brady). Sanchez sucks. No more Brandon Marshall, Matt Light expected to retire if he hasn't already, and Tebow has Sanchez insecure about his role (probably complaining to his parents). Do you think our defense can make a substantial jump? A jump meaning giving up, say, no more than 17 ppg? I think so, as long as we get some LB/DE depth via draft or our young guys start to step up.

     

    Look First off the talent will be vastly upgraded, 2nd we will have an entire offseason this year, 3rd its the Wandstedt a superbowl winning DC at the helm, not some clown castoff running our defense.

     

    So simply put YES we will lay the smack down on all AFCE Candy butts barring drastic injuries this year and for many years to come. Now if we can do something on offense we will be in great shape.

    I hope we dont trade with them. I love Kalil but I like having draft picks more. Plus I think we can get a quality player like Potter later.

     

    Ok so having a guaranteed franchise LT for 12 years is not worth trading draft picks for? Again, glad you guys aren't making picks

  6. We need to draft a solid player at 10 for depth. We need to draft a guy just in case someone gets hurt. Use the top pick as a safe pick, at the 10th pick we don't need elite or special talent we just need a guy we can plug in.

     

    Sounds very lame and kinda silly right?

     

    Well if we draft any OT at 10, that's exactly what the thinking will be.

     

    10th pick we can take an IMPACT player at WR,DE,LB,CB ...if we draft a OT that will not beat out Hairston who you can argue out peformed Bell, we are just draft for depth.

     

    Draft depth when we have a glaring hole at LT and at WR. Yeah lets keep losing, why bother spending on Mario Williams when we are going to ignore glaring needs?

  7. Per Evan Silva of Rotoworld:

    http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/nfl/40242

     

    5. Bills defensive end Mark Anderson

     

    After re-signing Stevie Johnson, the Bills turned all of their attention to upgrading the front seven, and that aggressiveness was honorable. They made Mario Williams the highest paid defender in NFL history, and then followed it up by signing Anderson to be Mario's weak-side bookend. Buffalo had a plan, and it executed. But Anderson was overpaid in the process, and there are likely people in the Bills' organization who would acknowledge as much. He isn't worth $5 million a year.

     

    Anderson is going on age 29. He's been in the league for six seasons, and in just two of them recorded more than five sacks. Anderson is consistently washed out in run defense and is essentially a one-down end. The Bills will give him a chance to be an every-snap player, but it almost certainly won't end well. While Buffalo's team sack total will rise in 2012, offenses will know exactly which front-four member to target on running plays: Mark Anderson.

     

    I still like the signing - even if you gotta rotate Kelsay in for run support - and it weakens the enemy at the same time is strengthens us (lot of Pats* fans were upset at losing him). But Evan does have a great point - we'll find out pretty quick if Anderson's a 3-down player or not, because that's definitely where teams are going to try and run at.

     

    Rest of the article is also a good read.

     

    Overpaid? Only because the Buffalo Bills did it and the national media is scared to death we are going to be prominent again.

  8. He in fact literally told his players to take out the ACL of a player. Listen to it again. Its disgusting and cowardly. Relying on your players to injure the opposition in order to win is cowardly.

     

    Yeah I didn't make it up, seems some are so set on defending the policy and person they are going to ignore fact

     

    I think the injuries were more then welcome by him. i think he wanted players to hurt - as thats how a lot of games are won. if the guys not 100%, or if hes out of the game, your odds of winning just went up. i dont think its about intentional career enders that are dirty though. i think that he was perfectly happy being in a guys head, but if he got injured, oh well, all the better for the win.

     

    i agree he crossed a line. i just dont know how you reign in that line or where it falls. the giants admit to targeting SF players with head injuries just the next week after this audio. is that different to you? is it that its a coach and not players that makes it cross the line? its a weird slippery slope when you start talking about where to draw the line and how to enforce it in a game so physical with so much riding on the outcome.

     

     

     

    how many players did we knock out when gregg was here toshiero? do you have that same feeling towards any players that were here then?

     

    YES! It is chicken **** and I don't care who or what team does it.

  9. I think alot of the pro and con DeCastro talk on this board has been pretty good and has made it an interesting topic to keep checking on when I'm here. I was pretty much in the "no DeCastro at 10" camp until I realized that both Wood and Levitre are going to be up for contracts next year and the possibility of one of them not returning is high. I don't think the fact that DeCastro is an interior lineman will have any bearing on if we select him. I think Buddy has shown that, in the first round at least, he is a proponent of selecting BPA regardless of need and position. The later rounds is where he likes to address need as he seems confident in his ability to find good players later on in the draft.

     

    If they have DeCastro rated very highly, then he will be the pick. I wouldn't be too surprised if Richardson drops to 10 that he is our selection as well. You take the best talent with your high picks and reach later in the draft.

     

    Um if buddy Nix is true to his word BOTH will be back next year. I thought the idea was to draft and KEEP good talent? not let it walk out the door because we are being cheap?

  10. right but is making him human putting him on a cart, or is it making him watch the next time he gets the ball? i think the goal was make him scared to run after the catch, and if he got hurt - so be it, another one out of the way.

     

    Let me try this again, ordering and setting up bounties to INTENTIONALLY INJURE PLAYERS is pure and absolute chicken **** and against every aspect of sport period. I don't want to hear some meathead, gym thug mentality on this. I am all for knocking the **** out of someone LEGALLY! Many greats in the past went out with the intention on knocking the **** out of someone and if they were out of the game so be it, but they didn't take money, nor sit there and intentionally try to INJURE someone.

     

    It still is stunning to me how many just don't get this. I wonder how they would feel and be responding if Stevie Johnson was on the list and had his ACL blown out by a Saints player?

  11. It' men's FOOTBALL, the roughest sport in the world. A coach like that would fire me up in the locker and there would be a bloodbath on the field. We all love the big hits and it's been a part of this game forever. I'll bet my left nut these speeches have been going on for years in the NFL. Can you imagine what Ray Lewis says to his defense before they hit the field?

     

    It amazes me to have hardcore football fans react like little girls to a speech like coach Williams. Why don't we turn the NFL into a girly girl sport before more NFL players get hurt. Geeezus, can we protect the QB's some more?

     

    The NFL is badass and I love the big hits. Would like to see the Bills defense get more hardcore next year and start taking opposing players out of the game. I want our defense to be feared! :o)

     

    "We need to put a !@#$ing lick on him right now"

     

    That is all well and good, but you NEVER tell your guys to destroy a guys ACL, to intentionally injure them etc. This is a concept that many still fail to understand.

  12. They say they have followed Bell since starting in the NFL and was the best O Lineman in free agency? Ok if so then why didn't we re sign him? What WAS our offer to him vs what the Eagles paid him?

     

    Something just doesn't sit right. We make him an offer and he doesn't even respond to the Bills about it? Seems to me he wanted the hell outta here OR our offer was insulting. I would just really like to know what the facts are.

  13. Offensively: ground and pound against that pourous defense and shorten the game...Brady can't produce if he's not on the field

    Defensively: Harrass Brady all game..just go all out and send the kitchen sink..everyone knows once he's rattled, he can't get in a zone. We know they dont really have a good enuff running game, so just have the linebackers and safties help out with the intermediate passes and Tight Ends and we can sweep these guys this season;like we should have done last year

     

    P.S. Draft Michael Floyd and stop playin around ( Jason Peters wz a converted LT for chrissakes!)

     

    The Giants proved twice, if you harass Marcia Brady, she is an average QB. Nix and the stash know this and that is why they went all in with the DL. Krafts post signing of Williams comments were nothing but 'whistling through the graveyard'

  14. 1st Round, 10th Pick – Buffalo trades pick to Cardinals for 13th pick and 3rd Round pick #80, so Cardinals can draft David DeCastro before the Chiefs. With the 13th pick in the draft the Bills select Cordy Glenn, G/T, Georgia

    2nd Round, 41st Pick - Lavonte David, OLB, Nebraska

    3rd Round, 71st Pick – Kirk Cousins, QB, Michigan State

    3rd Round, 80th Pick from Cardinals – Marvin Jones, WR, California

    4th Round, 105th Pick – Dwight Bentley, CB, Louisiana - Lafayette

    4th Round, 124th Pick from Baltimore – Andrew Datko, OT, Florida State

    5th Round, 144th Pick – Tank Carder, ILB, TCU

    5th Round, 147th Pick from Seattle – David Molk, C, Michigan

    6th Round, 175th Pick – Matt Daniels, S, Duke

    7th Round, 215th Pick – Justin Bethel, CB Presbyterian

    7th Round, 251st Pick - Adrian Hamilton, DE, Prairie View A&M

     

    Very interesting. I hope Cousins is there at #3 because he would be a great one to groom

  15. Patriots have a 62-41-1 overall record against us.

     

    Jets have a 49-53 overall record against us.

     

    Dolphins have a 55-38-1 overall record against us.

     

    The Patriots and the Dolphins pretty much own us but for some strange reason my hate for the Patriots have declined just a bit and I find myself hating the Jets more and more.

    Even though we have an overall winning record against the Jets, due to the recent hiring of Rex and a couple players, I voted Jets.

     

    Look the Miami Buffalo rivalry is crap now. its all about crushing the patsies
