RoyBatty is alive

Wade deserves a lot of blame, he had no balls, just like with the entire turmoil with Doug/Johnson, it was his job to stop it, just like in Dallas, the owner wants to steamroll you if they care to, he/she will. Wade tacitly likes to leave the blame on Ralph but the only ones that really know what happened are Ralph and Wade. The current football urban legend is that Ralph demanded Wade start Rob, I am skeptical. I dont care what ever second party hearsay from Andree Reed or anyone else has to opin.

Wow, I never read this before but here were a lot of other indications and it was well known half the Bills (like Bruce Smith) were for Flutie, other half for R Johson. Again Wade deserves a lot of blame, he couldnt keep it under control. I recall the Music City Miracle game, little Dougie pouted the entire game sitting on the bench, didn't stand and help R Johnson at all. As that article said, it was more about Doug Flutie than the Bills. Flutie was QBing a lot that year, i am sure there are things he saw and could have helped, he should have acted like a pro, not a spoiled brat. Flutie also worked the press, he worked jim Rome and he eat it up, Flutie was always mocking R Johnson for being a, well lets say alternative life style guy from CA with a bandanna, the press picked up on it so much there is even a youtube video where a respected Bills reporter mocks Johnson about the Bandanna saying Johnson was a poor leader, Johnson probably was, he apparently never stood up for himself and had the appearance of being very weak. Both Johnson and Wade were weak imo and Doug ran all over them. That is on reason why I think Wade was a very poor HC which a lot of people disagree with, great DC, poor HC. Wade also let Jerry Jones run all over him in Dallas.

that was pretty damn funny

100% spot on, you wil get dumped on here but I agree. He helped fracture the lockerroom and Wade was too weak to reign him in. His best year with the Bills he had 3,171 yd, 55% completion, 19 tds, 16 ints, i guess impressive by Bills standards.

The Bills fans and the fascination with Flutie never ceases to amaze me 17 years later.

Certainly helps to have his father as a legendary NFL: head coach. He would be a High School position coach with Buddy. Having sail that, I would love to hear him as a color commentator, you could never predict what boneheaded stupid thing or insult would come out of his bloated mouth.

I agree. Orton actually got us a winning season and Fitz brought us the good squad and Fitzmagic, phenomenons that lasted bout 7 weeks, to go along with a huge contract extension. Fitz was fun, gotta give the guy credit he could throw a bad int and come right back and throw another, and then another.

Thinkof this, his two former teams are projected to be at or near the bottom in the NFL. Vegas Odds to win the Super Bowl from have the Jets 1000 to 1, the Bills 200 to 1....There is 4 way tie between Cleveland, San Fran, Chic and Jax at 100 to 1. I bought all in on Rex, I admit it but I did a 180 after the Kansas City game where he screwed up all the challenges and tried to use as an excuse he didnt know how the replay system worked. Really, after being a NFL HC for 6 season didn't know how the replay system worked? Inexcusable. Then the Pegula's let him bring in the ft slob brother of his, the DC from the worst Defense in the NFL that was fired mid-season, truly unbelievable. The 10 men on the feild wasnt that a TD versus the Texans, that was a beauty. Or how about out 2 minute drills with Tyrod Taylor, wowzer, some of those were classics.

If the article is criticizing the Cardale Jones trade i thin they are dead wrong, Cardale is a disaster at QB, miracle they got anything and Boldin retiring was a god send to us, over the hill to say the least. And yes he is a rookie but Jones has shown a lot at WR and that deserves to be mentioned in the "no wide receivers" sentence. I want to see the team Boldin joins, that wil be good for laughs

Excellent point. The average age really isnt relevant, what you need to evaluate are how many KEY players on the downside, Lorax, K Williams, Incognito . and how many players are on the edge Wood (good thing we just extended him) McCoy, Clay, Ducasse (puke), Banyard, T Jones (how did he make the roster?) You have a Colt Anderson on the roster who is 31, does he really matter, of course not.

1) I think the plethora of draft picks is going to radically change that next year. We are going to build off of next years draft. 2) Sorry, I can't get over anxious because the Bills average 26.74 whereas the league median is 25.96.

Great breakdown, much appreciated. About what I thought/feared. Looks like Peterman wil do very well but will be highly limited and easy to gameplan against. Too bad they didnt even have him throw a long ball to see what he has.Peterman wil be a very good & reliable NFL backup, he isnt going to be a franchise QB.

Wow, that was quick. He must be the highest drafted QB cut so far, wonder if they are angling for a PS for him.

Yep, he is this year Micheal Jasper, future HOFer that just slipped through our hands due to OBD stupidity.

Wow, that is amazing, I am assuming you are not counting the rookies, let me see if i can name the Wood, Miller, Dareus, Washington, K Williams, Lawson, Seymour, O "leary edit: I looked it up, also add in the Seantrel Henderson Cordy Glenn so that is at least 10

I am going to say 2, one OL and one WR...possibly an OLBer Does Seantrel Henderson count against the 53 man roster, if he does he would be my surprise cut.

Damn does Marv look good for 92. Wonder what he is doing hanging around OBD.

Are those actual numbers, I didn't realize it was that bad, knew it was unwatchable though.

Great read, thanks for posting. So do you have a subscription or buy it at newsstands.

Seems reasonable, if we do any better McDermott for coach of the year

Yeah, if that actually happened miller would be swooped up in a nano-second and as for Beane and McDermott...it would be real difficult to have any respect for them

thank a player this week, God lord. In the aftermath of what is going on in Houston, one cop already lost his life and you want us to thank a player for " These guys give up their bodies and a portion of their lives for our entertainment" . Idolized, spoiled, wildly overpaid and you want us to thank them? How about thanks a first responded or a cop that puts there life on the line, half th country hates them and they get paid $60k/yr. How about thank a construction worker or a looper in a steel mill (well I guess that doesn't exist anymore in WNY) for their hard and dangerous work. Thank a player. Ridiculous. Yeah right because they dont get their arses kissed enough. ​By the way, very classy move on the part of Jerry Hughes, good for you Jerry.

Losing Anquan Boldin, LOL. I am a lot more worried about our offensive line, if it is as bad as it was in pre-season having Sammy wouldn't have made any difference.

I can't even remember what the issue was, some petty spat with Ralph?

I know this won't happen but I would love to have one reporter ask Shady about the SI Cover and him going for Brady's balls, I think Shady would find it hilarious. Come on Jerry Sullivan, for once grow a set and ask Shady.
