  1. Shady worth the money if he gets 1200-1500 yards and 10 td's for the team....which he is fully capable of doing if healthy. Now, he is getting long in the tooth as they say, but, he can do it until he can't. When he gets going, he is incredible. and is a true home run threat when on the field. (just like Sammy is on better days) As long as he performs at an all pro level, he will stay. McD knows that talent doesn't come along often. As for TD Mike, a real loss to the Bills, and he will do fine w the Pats. Good on him, maximizing his income during his prime years. Regrets for the Bills and their fans, but not for MIke.
  2. I can't get the picture out of my mind of that game in London when EJ completed his pass to Gragg....BUT Gragg was standing 5 yards out of bounds waiving for the ball. After he realized what had happened, Gragg laughed his butt off. (so did EJ) I did not find it as amusing..just more of the lame effort we saw from him. Glad to have him gone........
  3. Actually, EJ is employed and the others are not because he was willing to sign for chump change (800K) with no guarantee....the others are all asking multimillion dollar contracts, especially Kap.
  4. Bills system is digital, but requires a card to get into the stadium. Not everybody has a cell phone (really), so can't go that route exclusively. We have had tickets for many decades, and the switch to a card was a little bit of a problem as some of our participants were not digitally literate...so we had to print out tickets in some cases for them. I know of one other crew that had to print out the whole season to split the tickets......as they had to many members to effectively move the cards around..especially when the receiving party was in another city. So, all digital is a vision, but far from a reality. In terms of attendance mandate to continue to buy....that is a team decision. Our group often sold tickets, perhaps 1/3 of seats when it was at its peak...usually because folks were out of town or unable to attend for other reasons. I don't think that behavior is out of line....however, the resale market is crazy and I have been stunned to see all the tickets on the NFL ticket exchange for some games. And, of course, with the Bills, the games at the end of the season the last couple of decades have been low to zero demand because of team out of race....and we had to eat a number of seats in those cases. Anyhow, Bronco's are within their rights, and sounds llike they sheding professional scalpers .
  5. Byrd laid down on the job his last season with the Bills....did not play for the money he was paid. Bad Attitude...don't want him back here...I would be forced to booo him during the games. Maybe bad advice from an agent, but, with him being slow to start, don't need to see him here.
  6. If I owned a multi billion dollar business, I would not allow my employees to do anything that violated federal law. It is that simple folks.
  7. this is a good comment. I think TT is the favorite to start.....and Peterman the favorite to backup. CJ needs to grow up and may be #3 or ps. And, TJ is insurance against an injury or a flame out byh one candidate. I will say this, I watched the Pitt Clemson game last fall, and Peterman can throw the rock adequately imho. He ate Clemson up through the air with the long pass.
  8. Yeh, both Ft Myers Fl guys.....I spend the winter down there, and the local media covers both guys regularly. They know each other for sure......
  9. I saw Williams last year....he is no McCoy...by any stretch anyhow. He looked plodding to me, a power back but not quick. Don't see a backup to Shady on the roster myself. I don't want to ever see J Byrd on the field here again....he is slow, slow, slow............he would be the second coming of Drayton Florence
  10. Not so fast there sport.........talent is judged "on the hoof" ultimately. And NO fancy algorithym can replace human judgement. Sorry your world view is so techie..... My view on the mass firing.....makes little sense......imho. Building an organization takes time.....and I would think the new GM ought to have the right to retain those who he would like to retain. New from the ground up is a management failing. Fielding the team...THE SCOUTING TEAM can be as challenging as fielding the team of football players. This would be considered poor management in the corporate world in which I spent my career.
  11. The Bills have LOTS of footballs.
  12. That was a big failing for JP Losman
  13. Yes, the Bills are the farm team for the rest of the NFL
  14. A lot of folks here (and at the BN) have missed a critical point. The Bills hired a new media chief because things were going sideways....when Whaley spoke and in other circumstances as well. The new guy, imho, is saying, get a reset and use the new coach to do that as the face of the franchise. But the media guys seem to be putting an awful lot of cred on the fact that McD has been doing the talking. I , for one, don't read Whaley's departure into that scenrio. I see a new media chief doing his job well. And, I am getting awfullly tired of the drumbeat from the BN on the Whaley issue. Time will tell, but, I am not a all sure the big moves advertised in BN and in some of the national media are going to take place. I think this video does show that DW is doing his job.
  15. the most important player on the D in the phins game was the CB who was on the bench when Alai got the big run at the end of the game....yeh, the play where there were only 10 defenders on the field, and they ran at the unoccupied corner. That was why Pegs had to can the Ryans immediately. Reportedly, that was the third time last season they only had 10 guys out there.
  16. A lot of brave talk here. Wait 'till Shady gets hurt. Wait'til shady can't hold up to 25 carries/game. JWilliams not yet a proven pro. It takes TWO good rb's to succeed, and we will have one proven...and another....oh well. I am glad I didn't reup the season tickets.
  17. Fair would be two games each month, but havn't had many fair years....always backloaded into cold weather. (see last year) This is theNFL encouraging the Pegs to get a domed stadium imho.
  18. Manny Lawson
  19. Because their guy is a pain in the butt.
  20. https://www.yahoo.com/news/m/e74f92ae-6267-3137-b09d-cf7ff377767d/ss_sammy-watkins-to-carolina..%3F.html Some interest out there...saw this tonight on Yahoo.
  21. Cardale's maturity is an issue the prior staff implied. Not yet mature enough to be a true pro. Let the new staff decide.....I have had it with projects.......give him another look, and , if McD doesn't like what he sees, lets move on. Although he had t hat famous run at Ohio state when they won the national championship...it was three games....and he didn't have the starting job the next year....beat out by a guy who will never play an NFL down. Urban Myers saw something lacking.....so did Ryan''s staff. Kid is on his third strike imho.
  22. Yes, it will be a tactical decision by a trading partner, whoever that might be. And, Whaley can't anticipate who will call. He just needs to know how much he can get. There is a chart I saw one time that gives points on future draft picks....and is allegedly used to even up trades. For the Bills current situation.....another first plus and additional 2 or 3 would do it for me depending on what team called.
  23. If wish to root for somebody at playoff time, it is mandatory to have another team to follow.
