Yes, our clown twin has also started to collect strays...at least they aren't former Jets.

Yes, the twin clowns are one trick ponies.

If Bills finish last.....they can fire the twin clowns to start.....and, since I am getting desperate....I would go all in on Whaley....and tell him to go hire the HC....and, if they don't make in in two years, I would clean house totally. It would be time, then, to find out if Whaley is a real GM....not just a sorta GM.

Poloncarz is firing his musket in the press not liking the pressure from the NFL owners. But, to deal with those guys, Poloncarz is not much of a player.(Cuomo will be our guy) You deal with those guys in the conference room....you don't do it in the press. Poloncarz is more likely running for office here...its a political statement. He may be right in a lot of what he says, he just should muzzle himself and handle himself in a big league way. But, why did the last "retrofit" have to eliminate the drinking fountains......was it to sell more $5 bottles of water? Its about the money folks.......I am a current season ticket holder, but I won't be in any downtown venue...no tailgating and not enough roads in and out.

Fitz has made a lot of money, he is set for life........Fitz other option is to retire....and the Jets know that. He doesn't want to work for chump change d(by QB standards)

Thinking about the dome vs open issue......I think a dome would have made the field available for the Jets game a couple of years ago (moved to Detroit) But, that game was delayed/moved because the county infrastructure and services could not handle game traffic in the middle of a storm emergency. (the NFL got that one right btw) A dome would not have helped in that situation in terms of having the game go as planned at home. and, I don't think the infrastructure situation is any better in downtown Buffalo, probabily worse actually. So, a dome doesn't buy anything in those circumstances imho. Perfect Practice makes perfect......you have to practice in the conditions you play in. Maybe you have to repeat the work outside after the mental part is covered indoors. Comfy practice does not make foul weather play better!!!

You only have a home field advantage in bad weather if you practice out in the bad weather regularily. But, the Bills practice inside in their dome when the weather is bad...you have to put in the game plan, you know. So, I am not sure I buy the bad weather is an advantage argument unless Rex has the team out there when its really bad. Practice outside in bad weather to prepare to play in it. what they do now is practice outside when its sunny and a nice day. :doh:As a result, I don't think the Bills really have a preparedness advantage that some speak of here.

Basically no.........vet minimum, well, maybe if money is available for that.....with some incentives to make it worth while. His degree of brittleness is the problem....he never plays a full season....and, he will take up a roster spot. He gets hurt, he gets his money again for doing nothing...last year, collected 6 mil for what, 5 games. In addition, I thought his presense on the field took away from Sammy being #1......Ryan feels the need to justify bringing in one of his strays. (yes, Ryan collects stray dogs, particularily ex Jets)And, that doesn't make him a recruiter. I think we should pass on Harvin and go elsewhere. And, because of the brittleness issue, I think our former third round draft choice, Goodwin, also has to go.Goodwin is hard not to like, but his production is zilch in three years. Neither has skills or a body type to be a blocker on the outside like Hogan was. (yes, that is a requirement in our run first O)

Maybe tried non surgical rehab that didn't work.......

R Johnson has to be able to start this year....or...he shouldn't be on the team...its year 3 folks. He was a monster out of college....need to see that materialize on the field in the NFL this year. I am guessing he will get that chance this summer. Rex D is intricate...and perhaps he doesn't have the head to play the D.........anyhow, its up or out this year for him.

I was hoping they would keep this guy instead of Harvin.....Harvin was a waste of $6 mil....imho

The Bills have to clear enough cap space to pay their rookies.....draft picks and undrafted rookie free agent signings. Don't know that exact number, but I think it would take most of what they have left after this restructure.

You are assuming that he had good advice and invested in traditional ways....it would have been a good run for him. But, who knows, these guys are targeted by every fly by night "friend" with crazy schemes. I hope he was mentally strong enough to go to Goldman Sachs and ask them to handle it for him. "Private Wealth Management" is the service.......or, any other of the big name investment banks also will do this....... Getting out before he gets (more) head trauma makes sense to me if he is set for life.

Kap has had off field issues in the way he has handled himself....described in t he above posts pretty well, and on field, he has regressed. he is an impressive physical specimen ....I true NFL QB body. TT, on the other hand....is a total professional off the field...and, although physically gifted, is not described at the prototypical NFL QB....his build being slight by NFL standards. And TT is learning how to start and be a winner. Yes, the jury is out on TT in terms of doing all the mental work on field that is required to be the long term starter. I , for one though, would not bet against TT getting there. I think the contract he got from the Bills was good for him....the Bills got a two year cheap audition...he got/is getting a serious chance to show what he can do.....so, another year will tell the story there. In terms of getting a deal for TT now, it would be a transition deal if negotiated, with both sides taking a chance....TT giving up money on the idea he might not make it...the bills getting a discount but having to committ to TT longer than next year. I am guessing no transition deal....TT will likely play out 2016...and hit the market, all this imho And, NO KAP trade....

Bring in a good center w draft...and move Wood back to guard, where he played as a rookie. Miller has heart, looked a total wreck when playing the last couple of games last year....did not belong on the field as he was hurt...but, did not convince me he is a pro when he was healthy. I think Richardson will be gone...and KJ as well....unless he gets paid anyhow, then he may stay (like EJ) I would be happy to see one early draft choice for an O tackle.

Hogan is typical of the journeyman pro's we are losing because of the cap problem. We will have some superstars (at least their paychecks will be) and a bunch of cheap guys filling the holes...who are not up to Hogan's competance level. Mark my words.....the talent level on the team is dropping because of the big contracts we are giving to the better players we have. Not going to come out well imho. 6-10 (again)

I don't agree....the cap problem is causing us to get rid of journeyman pro's that are the heart of the team........Mc Kelvin is one......I think special teams may be a problem loosing Boobie, maybe Hogan....who knows if Easley can come back from the knee injury.........although I think loosing Brooks is a positive....he had head/control problems.....and he was a slow CB. I don't know how the Eagles found $6mil over two years for him. Ryan's move to "his" D is part of the depressing move from 4x3 to 3x4 to 4x3 to 3x4 etc etc that has been going on for more than a decade. We had great 4x3 D under Schwartz, and the personnel were mostly not 3x4c oriented. So, major turnover again........and again...and again......and again. Anybody else depressed about the franchise never settling down to one D scheme for 3 years in a row? In the current case, I blame the rookie owners for a bad hire in Ryan.....a clown....and we now have twin clowns.

Comments out of Denver include the benching when Manning came back was taken personally, and BO had no intentions of ever staying in Denver. And, if he got an extra 3 mil a season for changing teams, good for him. Our situation w/ TT is going to be just as bad in terms of market salary, hopefully, though, without the ill will. And, if TT does well in 2016.....he will have been a two year starter, not a 7 game starter. He could get $20 mil/ year. However, if he is below average/poor even though starting....the Bills will look elsewhere and start all over in the QB quest. (EJ done after this year)

I HATE JETS RETREADS,,,they didn't win in NY and they won't win here.......come on , man......

We have only done cash in person deals with VIP seats...delivery tickets, they buy when they want to. ARrive with cash, walk away with tickets. I have done both. The moved from Originally on Transit, to many years in williamsville, and now downtown. Good folks.....a local operation. don't know if they have a web site.

Our group uses the NFL ticket exchange mostly and that works pretty well/OK. Have used stubhub a little, more cumbersom if you have to mail tickets etc, find the UPS store, get the printed label on it etc. We have also used VIP Seats, a local outfit...they just moved downtown from Williamsville however, and are , for us, inconvient now. We have four tickets.....and we sometimes sell all four....somtimes sell 2....sometimes buy some, depending who is attending and who is in town. It works pretty well, although, with the new TV policy showing non sold out games locally...we have seen a drop in demand for the sales of our tickets. So, tips......list early...keep on top of the prices for the game you are selling, and drop the price to match the lower end of the range of the section you are in........we have done well...we always sell all four to one premium game to shave the cost of our season tickets...and we get 2 1/2 to 3 times face for that game. But, we attend otherwise whenever we can. Buying extra tickets is also great on the NFL ticket exchange.....I have been able to get additional tickets VERY close to our seats when we need them....when Carolina came to town a couple of years ago, I bought four additional seats only a few seats from ours. OK, other tips...late sales are unlikely, so have a use at the last minute plan as well, even if you have to give them away. Watch out for preseason games....interest is relatively low, usually, and the Bills force the NFL ticket exchange to maintain a minimum price on that forum. Last year ,the Bills were discounting preseason tickets to a level below the minimum allowed on the NFL ticket exchange. (usually 90% of face about) Good games to sell: Pats, Steelers, Packers maybe Dolphins.....bad games to sell:Jets, Browns...other bad teams.........We tried to sell the opener last year...but attended in stead as we did not get our (outrageous) price.

McKelvin will get another NFL job pretty quick imho....maybe the Jests......Leo was the mid level talent that will be missing on the Bills because they are in cap h*ll.....this is the same damage that occured in NO when they had to pay so big to J Byrd. The guys that should be playing out the career and contributing as vetrans....will now have rookies...they are cheap but can't play. I blame Whaley for mismanaging the cap........overspent last year...cutting needed talent this year. Cromartie was terrible in NY last year.......its why he is a free agent. Hope Rex doesn't bring hi8m in as another Jets based stray.

Twin clowns are not better at coaching than a single.......

I guess they are counting on Miller....he didn't bring in last year.....Urbik was better than him. But, whaley is grasping to solve his cap problem...and he can get younger guys cheaper, I guess. Vet minimums end careers, I think, for backup/marginal players. thats OK.....the bills still have big problems on the O line........only Wood is stable imho. Everything else in play.....

I wish Rex would stop bringing in strays that are former Jets.....tired tired tired....... I recall McKelvin picked Fitz to stave off the Jets in the season final......he is a starting CB in this league. he was hurt for first half of season, and took a couple of games to get it together. He played well against Dallas as well, of course, I might have been able to play CB against that QB.
