refocus year 17, go........

Fire Beane!!!!!!!!!! Come on we all know this is how it will end, lets not waste time here.

I think he is a pretty good commentator.

He had a good contract that the bills tore up to make home ok with coming to buffalo. Stupid move. What he had was good for a top RB. That first season with Rex had a lot of bad contracts given out.

Rex would have signed him by now

Clays cap hit and dead cap hit number are both 9 mil in 2018

I absolutely hate they all knew this was coming, no way you get inspired performance in that scenario. We all knew it was coming and so obviously they did also.

Special teams players.

It was uncomfortably weird

They need bodies

Absolutely, I dumped it about a year ago. I got it back for the Seattle game then dumped it again.

This is the problem...ESPN gets way too much from each subscriber, they pay outrageous salaries and benefits to their on air personalities as a result....but now the party is coming to an end. Look at the chart in the link... http://www.businessinsider.com/cable-satellite-tv-sub-fees-espn-networks-2017-3 ESPN is expected to have another round of layoffs over the next four months. This comes amidst a dwindling subscriber base that has seen ESPN lose 12 million subscribers in just the six years. Despite the loss in subscribers, ESPN is just as popular as ever, if not more, and we can see this in their monthly subscriber fees. ESPN now charges $7.21 per subscriber, by far the most expensive cable network, and up 54% from what they were charging in 2011, when it cost $4.69 per subscriber. And that is just for ESPN's main network. If we look at sports networks available in more than 50% of cable and satellite TV homes, $9.06 of each monthly bill goes to ESPN's top four networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, SEC Network), whether the customer watches those networks or not, according to data from SNL Kagan (via Sports TV Ratings). The Fox Sports family of networks (FS1, FS2, Big Ten Network) are the next most expensive, with customers paying $1.86 each month for those networks combined. The stand-alone NFL Network is the only other sports entity charging more than $1.00 per month.

I cancelled ESPN last year and ordered it for one week to watch the BIlls game. I dont miss it at all and watch NFL network instead. I could not stand how they would play things up so much, for instance, they followed Koby Bryants last game in each arena as if he was retiring each time...made me want to puke.

Not being able to keep them due to salary cap reasons proves cap inferiority.

Unless Shady gets injured.....it was a tough contract for the Bills to take on.

There is no rigging, just crybaby fans.

Why would that make any sense at all, the NFL is rigging against The Bills in favor of the Patriots? From the Patriots perspective its "rigging" would be against them, why would they not want to play a good team after their bye vs one they beat 9 out of 10 times for the better part of 2 decades?

If they dont pick it up it tells me they have major concerns on health.

Is someone concerned that they could change the name to "Batavia Bills" LOL

I don't see it that way at all. Gilmore is a clown who is good when he wants to be, he spent have of last season not trying. Of the tree, Woods is the biggest loss, he was a professional and gave his all in all areas but was underutilized. He will be replaced in the draft. Brown had a good season but his replacement is on the roster already.

Every coaching staff there is some kind of news like this. Change the locker room, change the culture....way easier said than done. Show me the playoffs or its just noise.

I see a clear change after the Pegula's took over. The philosophy clearly changed as a result of the owner being willing to spend more than the previous. Peters would still be a Bills if that went down under Pegula. The largest issues regarding the cap were put in place the first offseason with Rex. Giving McCoy more money so he did not complain, way overpaying for Clay, extending Dareus to get started. People say who cares about the money but I care because spending on the wrong guys means you cant spend on the right guys later on. I was not a big fan of the McCoy trade, my feelings at the time were that the Bills would look like the winners in the short term but 5 years out, Alonso could be a perennial pro bowler while McCoy is likely out of the league. When you consider the salary of the two guys I thought it was a bad deal. Dont take that to mean I dont think McCoy is a great player, he is. But they chose to spend a lot on a great player vs have a great player on his rookie deal for a few more years. Spending lots of money does not make you a winner.

That is pretty silly, are you including Toronto because they largely are not Bills fans. If we include NYC then the Bills have one of the largest markets too but there is nothing real about that just like there is nothing real about including Toronto. The Toronto series had as many fans of the other teams as it did BIlls fans. The answer to the question is still A since there are a significant amount of die hard Bills fans over the border, the count as much as someone from the states.

Not surprising because the guy is a scumbag He follows what a lot of on air personalities do that seem to make them popular. That is, no matter what you are saying, say it with extreme emphasis and be louder than that guy who just got finished talking was.
