  1. I can't see Boldin making a difference on this team in 2017. The Bills are not one player away from making a serious run at it and Boldin doesn't have the years left in his career to wait for them to get there. Unfortunately this is a move who's time was probably last year or before.

  2.  

    I think it was to find out if EJ could be a viable backup QB to re-sign here or release.

    My comment was not that about me....it was that I would imagine the LEAGUE OFFICE does not want to see Teams doing that sort of thing. I am fully aware of why they did it. Although I believe it was a Front Office game of chicken with Tyrod, that almost back-fired when EJ stunk up the place.

  3. So, how about when you have home field locked up in the palyoffs? It's common practice to sit anyone important. Don't pick on losers but let the top teams get away with it. Not going to happen.

    Well those are two completely different scenarios altogether. The playoff bound team is resting a player for next week's game. The Bills simply trotted out an inferior line-up for financial, not competition based reasons. And...it is not a question of 'picking on' anyone. The point is that the League would want to let OBD know that they frown on these sort of roster decisions.

  4. It would be so Bills like to draft a CB in the first round this year. Replace a proven player with an unknown. Assuming he could play, this yields a net zero in improving the team. That's how the Bills roll. :bag:

    I could not agree more. This team needs to get off the CB Merry-Go-Round. Drafting CBs with high level picks year after year has proven not to work. These guys get picked apart by Brady twice a year (not to mention Fitzpatrick and others). Enough already!

  5. I wouldn't be shocked to learn that the NFL had a talk with the Bills following that game. It was clear that they used Week 17 as a glorified Preseason game. That had to be frowned upon by the league office. You are supposed to field your best players unless they are clearly unable to dress and play. I actually thought it was a terrible precedent to set and as a 50 year Bills fan was embarrassed that they did it.

  6. The Bills find themselves between a rock and hard place. They just re-signed their starting QB, but with a pay cut! So while they like the fact that they're not going into the season without a starter, they certainly have shown a lack of confidence in Tyrod. So now what do they do? If you don't take a QB you've gone nowhere...again. And if you do take a QB while having so many holes to fill at other starting roster spots you've gone next to nowhere...again.
