  1. Was it not disclosed that there is a clause in the current lease that prohibits an owner from even discussing a move or new stadium with another city? To do so would cause a violation that would be the catalyst to a long, protracted lawsuit. If that is indeed true, how can anyone buy the team now who would make their intent known of moving the team when the lease expires?
  2. Not with Marcus Easley locking down his yearly spot.
  3. This one is not the worst artwork, but getting a tat of your panty-less wife draped seductively in your QBs jersey has to be the worst idea ever for an NFL tattoo.
  4. As you well might imagine, I'm overjoyed by the news. Long live Van the Man!
  5. Bills fans stand "Kelly Tough" behind you, Jim. I'm not normally one to ask God to hear my prayers, but in your case I'll gladly make an exception.
  6. The whole thing reads like a James Patterson novel: NFL Star, serial killer, meth head, multi-million dollar contract extension, indictment. Couldn't happen to a nicer team.
  7. Great analysis. Watkins' play will soon make every talking head that chastized the Bills for taking him eat their words.
  8. We hardley knew ya. I hope that the cup of coffee you had in Buffalo was at least from Timmy's.
  9. I apologize if this point has already been made somewhere in the 6 pages of responses, but Kiper gave the Bills a C- because he felt that they overpaid for Sammy. He also downgraded the Browns to a B because he felt that Cleveland passed on Sammy (his #2 prospect in the entire draft) at #4. Talk about having your draft grade cake and eating it, too.
  10. Agreed, if EJ can stay healthy and make a sophomore step forward the playoff drought will be a thing of the past.
  11. Neutz signed with the Bengals.
  12. Agreed, but my hypothesis would only be for 4 drafts. Once you have those 4 elite players you would lay off for awhile, then go back to the model once the team started slipping in the standings again.
  13. I like to think outside the box whenever possible in life. I was thinking about Whaley's move to get Watkins and how so many talking heads liked the move, but said the price of an extra 1st was too high. The Bills moved up from #9 where there were no more premium players left on the board (at least in relation to their pre-draft rankings) and snagged a player that many believe is the most talented in the entire draft. Okay, so here's the outside the box thinking: What if the Bills made a similar move every 2 years? Every other year the team trades the next year's #1 away to move up in the draft and grab one of the top 4 or 5 players available. Over a 6 year period that would give them 4 superstars (in theory, barring busts). The alternative is to stay put and take guys like Maybin, Flowers, McCargo, Losman, etc. What do you think, revolutionary idea to success or pure madness?
  14. I give it an A+, even if it doesn't pan out in the long run. For years, the team has taken the safe road while the playoffs became a thing of myth in these parts. Whaley is playing for keeps right now and I applaud him for it!
  15. He's listed They have him going to Bengals now.
  16. I think Mike Williams is the veteran leader of the WR corps now.
  17. Thank you, Stevie for being such a great overachiever and an easy guy to root for. I will remember you for many on-field plays, but also for your bang-on Halloween impersonation of Chan Gailey. Best wishes always.
  18. Golisano and Quinn would be last on my list of local buyers. Golisano was an absentee owner of the Sabres that kept team payroll in the bottom third of the league.One of the great lines about Quinn was written by a Buffalo News scribe who said, "He always looks like he just rolled down a hill." With that said, when Ralph was still with us it seemed bleak that the team would stay in Buffalo after his departure, while now it seems nearly certain. So, whoever it ultimately goes to, I'll be elated.
  19. Sounds like a perfect Schopp & Bulldog show itinerary.
  20. Normally, I wouldn't see any team, not needing a QB, pay the price to move up to #1. What makes this interesting for the Bills is the new ownership issue and the fact that Whaley and Marrone (and for that matter, Brandon) could be lame ducks. They may be thinking, if we don't win this year we could be out by next season.
  21. Uh, I was upset with the projected Bills pick, but then I saw the pic of Bortles' girlfriend and, frankly, I can't even remember who he said the Bills would take. Have mercy...
  22. I'm glad they are suing for being underpaid, for a second there I thought maybe the team had over-texted them.
  23. I'm pretty sure that Kiper has us taking Lawrence in the 2nd in his latest mock.
