cba fan

more draftees and also those he acquired. gone: M Goodwin, Kevon Seymour, N Bradham, S Gilmore, Alan Branch, Nickel Robey-Coleman, R Woods, C Glenn, still here: D Dawkins, L McCoy, J Poyer, Micah Hyde, R Incognito, Hauschka, C Clay, M Milano, gone: Tyrod Taylor, Chris Hogan, Zach Brown, M Gillislee, Corey Graham, Leon Searcy, Ross Cockrell, Karlos Williams, Whaley assembled a playoff team of talent. Of course it was mismatched as he was always drafting for a different D and O every two years. Not his fault. 8 former Whaley Bills played in last Super Bowl. EIGHT! That is not a misprint. And many more played in playoffs.

How many of Whaley's draft picks are productive NFL players? Answer: a lot. (not Whaley's fault McBean wanted to purge most traces of former regime)

I care. But who cares?

Agreed. This sounds like a contract his mom or Ricky Williams or Jordan Matthews himself negotiated.

Not to poke holes in this amazing draft strategy that would make old inept Bills GM's look like General Patton on steroids but..........only Pats Browns and Colts have multiple 2nd round picks this year. Pats 2nd and Browns 3rd 2nd rd picks are last two in that round. So very poor value. No one with a brain trades with Pats. Colts just traded back and are trying to acquire more picks rather than trade up. Browns want many players to jump start their turnaround. No way to get four 2nd round picks this year. If you trade for 2nd rounders next year the time discount makes them worth 3rd rounders.

I do know people who grew up and lived in Buffalo most of their lives and are not football fans so are not Bills fans either. They kinda know what the Bills are up to if something big happens but do not really care. Also know many Sabre fans who do not know of or follow any other sport so only follow Sabres. Not weird at all as many Hockey fans are kind of in their own little world. Them against the world mentality and shun other sports etc etc........ Also know some Buffalonians who do not like sports at all so do not follow any teams. Example of people like that who I don't know is lead singer of Goo Goo Dolls Johhny Rzeznik. He came and sang the national anthem at Bills game when Pegs was introduced and walked out of the tunnel and left as he said he is not into sports. I checked out Goo Goo Dolls only because they are from Buffalo and find it odd he has no affinity for something as popular as Bills in his hometown. But to each his own. I still like their music though.

That secretary must have been a Pats fan. I hope she was immediately escorted to the door. Who interrupts a meeting like that??

Now just a minute???? Swapped 6th rounders.?(assuming Browns got the value and did not trade their 1st pick in 6th round which would have meant they pd Skins to take him) That would mean Browns gained 17 draft spots in 6th round. So Hogan was worth roughly a half a draft pick......lol That will make for some fun trivia in the future and/or jokes Hogan can tell to his grandkids when he gets older.

as 4 kid 4 said. Broncos wear same navy helmet. They put on the old Elway era D logo and old strips. Weird as ****.

Logo is washed out on Navy background since they now have grey border. Stupid. Needs white outline.

oh man..... I can hear it now Hogan to Hogan for 15 TD's next year.

lol...........Holy crap get that boy some antibiotics and soothing gel cream.

I thought I was very clear. The Pats should trade Brady to any team willing to give the Pats a 1st round pick for every Super Bowl win he delivers for new team. Why? Because he is the best and is a lock to deliver. Why limit your return to just one #1 pick. Get all you can get.

Why stop there? If as everyone knows Brady is the GOAT and will make you a Super Bowl favorite if you go to team like Jax KC etc etc...... Then you offer Pats nothing but conditional 1st round picks. 1 1st round pick for every Super Bowl win he delivers to new team. Money in the bank for Pats. They would do it today. Right? We all know he will win them. No brainer for Pats. Right?

I don't believe the whole truth ever seen the light of day. It sounded like they ran the Love Triangle End Around. Not clear if it ran before or after Russ Wilson tweeted how he thought "50 Shades of Gray" was a great film. A strange tweet by a devout Christian to be sure and he never denied it or backtracked. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/russell-wilson-50-shades-of-grey-a-great-movie-fan-backlash-ensues/

It would be a complete fail if refs did not give Brady's new team the same golden offensive line holding treatment. Same with the pick plays and Gronk's signature push off plays etc etc.... Brady would be hurt within 4 games.

If i could give any advice that anyone would care to follow that would make their career and life in public a greater joy than it possibly could be it would be this: cancel the Twitter account, Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook, and any other social media where people can troll you and bait you into irrational emotion driven responses. You will be much more happy and fans will love you. Kevin D, Westbrook, even the Mannings, LeBron, McCoy, insert any name, etc etc....they all look ridiculous responding to teenage level talking points and going back and forth on petty feuds. They make media Whore King Brett Favre look like a caveman in comparison. Oh and PS: hire a driver for roundtrips every time you go out to any party etc etc.........

Those headaches are not going to treat themselves.

yeah really. If you want a bottle of wawa where else do you go but to wawa.

lol... If you had LeBron sending passes your way you would get those 2 pts back in a hurry.

Just like BIG BEN was a hair breath away from retiring after 2017 season, then played 2018, so: HE SHOULD BE RETIRED NOW for sure, YES?

Maybe, but he can give a lot of good football advice, and life advice also etc etc. Rodgers has endured a lot of media speculation and negativity with his estrangement from his family etc etc........

https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2012/7/15/3160664/buffalo-bills-lease-agreement http://buffalonews.com/2014/04/12/under-lease-court-could-bar-any-new-owner-from-moving-buffalo-bills/ Ralph likely did not resist in the end, which is obvious as they signed the lease, but much more likely due to Litteman was given a bone to save his golden parachute nest egg. The 28 mill loophole escape clause at 7 years. Quote from Coach Tuesday: You are 100% right, I know someone who sat at the table during those negotiations and believe me, the Bills had the State and County over a barrel and Littman treated the entire set of discussions as if he were negotiating for his retirement parachute (which he was). And without revealing too much information, you are spot-on that the State was the one trying to ensure the Bills remained in Buffalo (and had a long-term stadium) during those discussions, not Ralph. end quote. If you refuse to believe the truth so be it. Most of the rest of us are going with the facts. County and Gov of NY insisted on this clause.

Why would it not be weird for Brady also.??? The guy was mostly a b/u in his college career, would not have played at all if Michigan could recruit an avg QB talent during that period, had the worst ever measurables at the combine,(watching him run the cone drill was beyond painful) invented Dad Body term before it was a thing, was so slow there is still a guy holding a stop watch at combine waiting for him to finish, had a weak arm, could not scramble, and passed no eye test saying he should be a good NFL QB. And as you said had zero expectations. He should have been happy he was drafted at all and extra happy BB drafted him to sit behind Bledsoe. Yeah he scored 33 on the wonderlick but has done numerous stupid things in his life mainly involving cheating in sports, not to mention lifestyle, dumping a pregnant girlfriend, his slimy health consultant, openly lying, water cures his concussions he supposedly never had, etc etc........to call into question the accuracy of that test for anything you can use to predict future actions.

Very well said SoTier. FYI: for the record: my comment of "revisionist thinking" referred to how many on here think Ralph saved the Bills after his death by insisting on the inclusion of the $400 mill penalty in lease. That thinking is patently 100% not true. County and State insisted on that and Ralph and Bills wanted nothing to do with it. Look no further than the 28 mill loophole coming up in 2020 as more proof of Litteman and Ralph thinking.
