ah, yea, the Fake News liberal media defense. What are your accepted non-biased sources? I'm betting I can find the data there too.

Yea, I won't win this because I don't work for Breitbart. The fact that you need me to dig up information that's been widely circulated for years, tells me all I need to know about you. Nothing to see here: https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/las-vegas-police-explain-michael-bennett-incident-deny-claim-of-racial-profiling/ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jun/09/the-counted-police-killings-us-vs-other-countries More police killings in a month than in 24 years in England? multiply by 6, carry the two....yea , still BS

Not offended. I'm just disgusted by your 1950's sensibilities. The facts and statistics regarding institutionalized racism are never honestly refuted by your crowd. If you say that something doesn't exist when there's videos of unarmed people being shot in the back, when there's data that strongly correlates prosecution rates and sentencing duration to race, that's a problem with your willingness to accept it - not a problem with the claim. You've made your politics very clear, but you shouldn't have to be a liberal to think it's not ok to kill or assault unarmed people. ffs. If he didn't botch the saying it's still in extremely poor taste and shows a complete lack of empathy for the situation - void of leadership.

I wonder where they could have possibly gotten that idea? You may believe it to be a divisive one-sided issue, but an extremely large number of the rest of us do not. We believe it to be a massive problem that impacts and affects everyone. It's not a protest that harms or inconveniences anyone except people who have incorrectly applied connotations to it that were never stated or intended. The problem with you folks is that you never took the time to understand what this is all about. Whenever people bring up the fact that these players are millionaires, they announce to everyone that they've completely missed the point. Aside from the fact that yes, some of these players have been victims of police brutality and racial profiling, they're mostly standing up for those that do not have a voice. They are using a platform that they've become fortunate enough to have to speak up for the less fortunate. How on earth is that a bad thing? Would you decry the protests as strongly if they were pro-police? There was an opportunity to resolve this with the league, but then your president decided it would be a good idea to call the players "sons of bitches" at a campaign rally to deflect attention away from his personal problems, so they players stood up for their brothers and joined the protests as a symbol of unity. That's exactly what i want my football team to do.

The best worst thing I've ever seen.

Figures of speech have meaning - that's why they're figures of speech. If you disregard the extremely poor context of the literal saying, the MEANING of that figure of speech is every bit as bad. It tells you how the owner views the players and the look is very, very bad.

If Buffalo gets any less than a 1rst round pick they're getting scammed. If Glenn entered the draft next year, he'd have a reasonabl;e shot at going #1 overall. Proven strong left tackle in a league always on the hunt for them.

I'm concerned about all the games.

Unless you get a 1rst+, there's no way you can trade a good starting left tackle. Glenn needs to be back so Dawkins can take Mills job. Our line is terrible right now.

we need him immediately. This defense could be good enough to carry this offense like the Bears, Bucs, Ravens of years past, but we don't have any special LBs. Bowman fixes that.

He reminds me of Carlos Dunlap. Good Get

Houston switched their QB under very similar circumstances - look what happened.

How do you figure? Taylor threw a pick on his own side of the field and couldn't move the team all day. The Mabin missed pick was meaningless

Good point. How many NFL coaches does it take to realize this guy can't get the job done when it matters?

I would pick a current starter or backup NFL QB at random and they win this game today.

The thread should have ended right here. Bravo. http://media2.giphy.com/media/b9aScKLxdv0Y0/giphy.gif

I don't really understand how you're getting there. I'd bet Whaley has a job next year maybe GM or maybe director, but his track record is pretty damn solid if all you do is look at the facts. When you toss in the Pegulas mismanagement of both of their franchises, I really think someone will look at it and say his did the best that could have been expected.

We kind of need Ragland to have a monster game - like a blow your socks off kind of game. If that kid ends up being the stud he was supposed to be, it changes everything moving forward. Not counting on it though.

Might have something to do with him being publicly undermined by his bosses. Once it was known that Whaley didn't have any power over Marrone/Rex then I wouldn't respect him either. Frankly, I'm ready to have the discussion about whether or not the Pegulas are terrible owners. The Sabres have gone through almost the exact same thing. The fact that they fired Murray before the rebuild came to term speaks volumes to me. I think they're too used to having complete control, even when they don't know the subject matter. If they have a problem with how the team is being run, they should be directing the GM what they expect of them and telling the coaches and players that the GM is king. Otherwise, it destroys all of that person's credibility. The fact that "Coach & GM are finally on the same page" - well they damn well better be. They were promoted off of the same team and given the opportunity of a lifetime. I'd expect they've had plenty of time to talk about how they ensure they don't end up like the rest,

King accidentally makes a point that is going completely unnoticed. From 2013 on (whaley's involvement) every player drafted in the 5th round or higher is still in the league, they just don't play for the Bills. Some folks in Buffalo like to paint this picture that Whaley was some sort of disaster, but he doesn't have any Aaron Maybin, James Hardy. John McCargo. Mike Williams, Erik Flowers, Avion Black, Shawn Bryson on his resume. Not one. Truth be told, he's the only GM we've had in a t least 30 years that didn't draft a complete scrub rounds 1-5. All of them can play with the best players in the world. Maybe he should have drafted another QB and he'd still have a job.

I would absolutely trade a 7th for him/sign him.

I just don't understand how we get to "genius moves" or even a "coaching staff that finally gets it" by letting our marquee players walk out the door for peanuts.I mean that's pretty much the one line summary of every GM we've had for 20 years. "We believe in building through the Draft" - McDermott "Unless it's somebody else's draft" - Beane. I mean, seriously. Why on earth would anyone expect they'll do a better job of drafting from the same talent pool, with mostly the same grades as every other team in the league? Can anyone tell me the last time that a tank or even a "rebuild" created a perennial contender/dynasty in the NFL? The Browns have shown no evidence thus far that it's worked. If it does, it'll be one the back of Kizer that every single team could have had. The Colts have yet to bear fruit from Suck for Luck Are the Bucs going to finally move from potential to contender? My money is nope. The Steelers, Patriots, Seahawks, Raiders, Broncos, Cowboys, Chiefs, Packers, Cardinals, etc haven't had to go through a "rebuild" let alone 5 or 6 of them to get where they are. They just drafted players that became stars and kept them. Except for the Broncos who don't have a QB, every single one of those teams QBs could have been had by any team that really wanted them. What I hear Beane/Buffalo Fans telling me is QB is all that matters. If that's the case why not just draft 3 every year, let the best 2 split time, keep the best one after the season and do the whole thing again the next year until you get a guy you can live with? What's the point of taking a 5th round linebacker if you're telling me you can't win without a top 10 QB? Draft them all. Take every Kirk Cousins, Derek Carr, Dak Prescott, Russel Wilson, etc that's available and get one that works out. If you get two, trade one for a linebacker. You're probably going to tell me that's ridiculous, but is it any more so than letting two 23 year old high draft picks walk out the door for slightly better than nothing?

I think it depends on the health of McCoy. I'll pick 7-9.

Save your breath. Buffalo hated Watkins since he got here because he took an extra 1rst round pick to get. No one really likes to acknoweldge the fact that's what it would have cost to get any player, but they never got over it. He could have been Jerry Rice, but everyone will always have wanted to draft Justin Gilbert #19 the following year...

A lot of folks are buying into the message. Some people actually believe Jordan Matthews is an upgrade over Watkins, because they still can't let go of the fact we had to trade a 1rst round pick to get him. Darby had a ROTY candidate season and a bad one, so obviously any 6th round corner off the street is also an upgrade. That sponsored FB post about Eddie Yarborough is generating a lot of positive buzz too. The 76'ers last won a division crown in 2001, wake me up when "trust the process" of a three year tank makes them a champion.
