  1. The horrific announcing is going to shoulder some of the blame.
  2. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ol There is some interesting stats here. Football Outsiders has Buffalo ranked 24th in run blocking and 31st in pass pro. They note that while they try to eliminate their impact for these rankings, the abilities of the RB and QB do have some effect on them. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ol There is some interesting stats here.

  4. Youre right. Thanks for the correction. Forgot about that.
  5. If it might help retain a player or that player has a good support network in his hometown, then it’s definitely a positive. If a player has a lot of the wrong kind of friends - ones into illegal stuff or leeches - in his hometown, then it’s a big negative.
  6. This is the problem. Taylor has an excellent rating when under pressure when he gets the ball out. The problem is that he’s tied for second in the league for most sacks taken. While the line could be better and improvement there would help I still don’t see Taylor getting the ball out when he hits his drop. If he can learn to do that he’ll be dangerous. If not, then he’s always going to face a lot of pressure.
  7. Vested vet. Immediate free agent. No waivers.
  8. Really enjoyed watching he Jim Kelly Era Bills teams. It was before I moved to Buffalo and started rooting for the Bills, but it was so much fun to watch them. While watching the comeback over the Oilers in a Cleveland Flats bar my uncle got into an argument about Moon with a guy there. My uncle kept calling him the biggest choke artist in the game and the other guy kept circling back to it being a racial thing. He was black and my uncle white). That escalated during the first half and at halftime my uncle bet the guy $20 that Moon would choke the game away and that Houston would lose. That guy kept getting more and more angry as the game slipped away. He stormed out right after the Bills took the lead. I almost felt bad for him. Luckily the bartender kept the bet money for us. He was laughing his ass off. After those it’d have to be Rex getting canned.
  9. Assumed this was a thread about Darius Rucker getting hit by a car. It was bound to happen based on how long he’s been in the middle of the road.
  10. Yup. TT is one of the 32 best NFL QBs on the planet, but he’s not good enough to help a team win a championship. Sure, keep him next season while you get his replacement up to speed, but an upgrade needs found.
  11. Many here’s assumed he was to replace and be in the mold of Mario, with whom the team had just cut ties. As others have already posted, he is more of a complimentary DE. Run defense, setting the edge and getting the occasional sack due to working through blocks or scheme.
  12. Hue Jackson is a pretty sure bet, but he’ll probably have to coach out the season first. McAdoo will probably get the axe before then.
  13. There isn’t a cap problem or dilemma. The Bills dug themselves out of their cap issues. Between their available cap space and abundance of draft picks they should be in very good shape going forward. Absolutely. I’ve been thinking the exact same thing.
  14. You are correct, Kirby. Here is a link to Spotrac. Lots of useful info. Multi-year breakdown tab is a nice snapshot of who is signed for how long at how much. The salary cap tab can be changed to 2018 for a good look there too. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/yearly/cap/
  15. This. It would be worth it. This team is a FQB away from being a contender. It could use more than that, but it would be enough to br8ng it up to that level.
  16. Yes. I expect him to be target #1 this offseason. The Multi-year breakdown tab on Spotrac is useful for finding would-be free agents: http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/carolina-panthers/yearly/cap/
  17. I’ve also met MKC. She is not particularly well thought of by most Cleveland fans. It’s due to her not really having any sources of her own and recycling material from others. Also her opinions about whom the Browns should draft have been about as bad as the actual drafting. She’s doesn’t do anything bad or unethical and she’s not a shill. She is a good source for casual fans who want a summary of what’s happening with the Cleveland teams. She doesn’t break any news, dig deep or do a lot of legwork though. And if there is something false floating around as fact she will perpetuate it -not maliciously though.

  19. There’s nothing wrong with what Dareus tweeted. The article is trying to make a story out of nothing. That said, I’m happy the Bills have finally dumped him. He's been phoning it in since he got his big contract.
  20. Among WRs he’s 14th in receiving yards and 20th in YPG. Imagine what he can do when he gets in shape! This would be a better world if people weren’t so agenda driven.
  21. I can’t even get real drugs here.
  22. It was a joke. Not my best, but pretty good, I thought.
  23. Yup. Lots of mistakes to go around with the Browns. McCarron was definitely to appease Hue. They missed on several QBs. Hue wanted Goff, but not Wentz. Trubisky was of interest to the Browns as was Mahomes, but Hue didn’t want Watson. Kizer was a crapshoot. I see some changes coming with all of the infighting.
  24. Yup. Big drive from B-Lo to C-bus, the MIL was coming to town and my wife wanted to spend some time with her and I thought we’d lose the game. Plus it was through a person she does business with so she’d have to go. I passed so she could spend time with her mom. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. When will I learn that being nice gets me nowhere?
