How? Are you concerned they'll want to keep Barkley next year? Peterman? Maybe you need to define your concept of the future.

So saying signing him would be scary for our future means it has nothing to do with our future. OK.

scary for our future that this is their decision.  Your exact words.

Would you stop? You honestly think Barkley has anything to do with the future of this team? Two QBs are hurt. They have to get a fourth and none of the available guys are going to be much good or they wouldn't be available.

I have stated my position several times now. You have as well. Would you like to do it again?

I know you think you're Nostradamus, but let me say it more clearly: We'll see. And of course I would love to see the Bills in that position. I'm not saying the Rams are wrong. They're loading up to take their shot. Good for them. But their window may be narrow. They are building by signing FAs and trading away draft picks. At some point that will fail when you don't have the picks to build with. But they may win a title or two in the interim. My guess is they'll get to the playoffs, but get taken down before the big game.

As I said, we'll see. Let's see when guys like Woods and Krupp and Talib and Peters and Su start demanding big bucks when their deals come up

When Goff has to get paid and they have Donald's big deal and such we'll see. They have gone all in. Good for them. We'll see how it works.

Rams have this year and maybe next year. Then they'll have to dump a bunch of guys. We'll see if it works.

You don't have to keep them. But you're not the owner. Don't like it work on your yard Sunday afternoons.

How long have you watched Buffalo football?

In the history of the NFL how many teams wind up doing well when through injuries they get down to their third QB? I can't think of any. Granted they should have had Anderson or a similar guy here when they traded McCarron but when injuries make you play three guys it just doesn't work out well. I will say this reminds me more and more of Ed Rutkowski. If Thomas has to step in Sunday it would be a return to '68.

The bandage was the cap space. Again like it or not they felt they had guys with big salaries and cap numbers that weren't performing. So they elected to get rid of that quickly do they would have space and picks to get the guys they think will win.

Well, since neither you nor I are Nostradamus I don't think we can answer those questions. They just brought Pryor in. They tried Foster for speed, and now Phillips. In the Houston and Tennessee games Allen was going downfield more. If they don't give him weapons you'll have a point then. Plus, after watching the Bills play in Buffalo for 58 years now, I can tell you without question that you have to be able to run the ball in Buffalo in December.

And that is why they drafted Allen. And why Beane said before they drafted Allen that you have to have a QB to win

Do you honestly think he talks the same way with his team as he does at press conferences?

They nstink right now. No one is denying that. No one is denying that they need to make sure they use their cap space and draft picks wisely or they will be in jeopardy of losing their jobs. But here you are, trying to rewrite history to have your little hissy fit. And it's tiring. Pretty solid ideas.

Let's talk about Glenn. He missed almost all of last year. And they traded him to move up and get their QB. And I defy you to find anyone around here who, since Kelly , has not at least once complained about the Bills not ever taking a shot at a QB in the draft. That they'll never go anywhere without a QB. Let's talk Dareus. Who pulled a Haynesworth and decided to become a fat tub of goo after he got paid. Let's talk Woods. Actually you have it backwards; everyone thought at the time that the contract he got offered was way more than a #2 WR contract. Plus all the rumors were that he wanted to go back west. Plus it was Whaley that could have resigned him before he left in free agency, not McD or Beane. Let's talk Goodwin. It matters not whether he's better than Ray Ray or Foster right now, it matters what he was then. And then he was a guy that could not stay on the filed, whom no one wanted to keep around. Let's talk Brown. Brown who made a lot of tackles 5 yards downfield, Brown who again many fans had seen enough of when he was here. You are revising history to fit your little narrative. You are the typical guy around here. Complain when they don't do everything to get a QB, complain when they do that they should have focused on getting other guys instead of a QB.

You said they should send him to Dr. Andrews. They did from what I've read, or at least had him review all the records They say he's week to week. And now it's the esteemed Dr. Andrews you want to question? I mean no one is infallible, but they did what you want and they're still wrong? Come on now.

Come on. Jones looked good last night. He's coming on.

Or you rip the band aid off quickly and get it over with.

I agree about building around Allen. As for the O line, there is a disconnect right now. They have O linemen that seem more effective as maulers, and they have a RB in Shady that dances. Either they need to get back to the blocking schemes they used last year that worked for Shady or go with anther RB like Ivory as the primary guy. Last night I was yelling at the screen when they ran those Wildcat sweeps too many times. We don't have a line that can do that routinely, and after the surprise factor wore off it was a waste of plays. Daboll messed up their. Next year, they have to spend resources on the line. Football is still won or lost in the trenches.

Nope . No way.

Bring in new guys.. I suspect they will be looking at FAs like a Hyde or Poyer, a little under the radar but really solid guys. Hopefully at WR and especially O line. I expect a WR to be drafted day one or two. Maybe two. But the T word. I'm think that word should be banned. I suspect everyone at ONE BD would as well.

Revisionist history yet again. at the time people thought Woods was overpriced, no one wanted Goodwin because he couldn't stay on the field. Brown got roasted routinely around here. Darby is having it tough in Philly. Dareus was a big piece of goo that did not live up tom his contract. Of you list I personally would have liked to see Watkins and Hogan stay. Let's just stop with the Monday morning QB stuff.
