I'm lost now. How did we do in the draft?

Schein can take his journalism pen and stick it right up his wife's a... what? He thinks the Bills are good? Always said he was one of the best out there! Hope he replaces Chris Brown

This wasn't a GM, it was Doug Whaley

Jesus, you really had to start a new topic for this? What about the other three thousand f******* threads already discussing this?

Tom Dundon is obviously a very smart businessman, why would he invest all that money into something only to scrap it so soon? The answer: the in-game betting app tech, which he now owns the rights to. Apparently it's still not been perfected, but he owns the patent, and with so many places allowing legalised gambling now and in the future, whoever gets a foot in the door first will make billions from it. As for the AAF folding, you just have to have the connection in some way to NFL teams. Whether that's expanding the draft and adding extra rounds for developmental guys so that fans of the NFL follow the guys who could be in training camp with their 'real' team come August, or the high school player idea that's been put around. Imagine if each NFL team had the rights to a few really promising graduates that ditched going to college and went to a pro league instead to earn some cash and learn a pro style game under former NFL coaches. Are you telling me you wouldn't at least keep up to date with news of how the Bills players were doing? I know I would. Even if I wasn't watching every snap of every game, I'd be reading articles, Googling the league etc. and all that plays a part in showing how much interest people have. They showed a chart in one article that illustrated how the interest on Twitter etc for the AAF have dive bombed after the first few weeks, peaking a little when Johnny Ball came to play, but that's just not enough. You also need to at least sustain the league for a few years to create loyalty and tradition among the fans. Those are two of the most important things with sports. No one has any connection to something that's new, so you need patience to develop that. To my above point, if the Bills had some HS grads or college guys from an expanded draft in the league, or primarily with one specific team then obviously that's the team I would follow. If even one of those guys tore up the league and then ended up being a decent player for the Bills then I'd be excited to see which players we had in the following season, which means I'd watch the other league's team more, which means I now have 2 years worth of history and memories watching them, and so on. There were 8 teams in the AAF, how about this: each team is filled with players from expanded NFL rosters that come via an expanded NFL draft. 8 teams in the league, 8 divisions in the NFL. You could have each team essentially representing a division from the NFL, so one would contain Jets, Bills, Pats and Dolphins. OF course, many fans wouldn't want to cheer any team that had future Pats or Jets or Phins on it, so instead you could have each team being a mix of 4 NFL teams from different divisions, related to conference. So team 1 is Bills, Steelers, Chiefs and Titans. Team 2 is Bengals, Jets, Jags and Chargers, and so on. Flawed I'm sure, but if I had to come up with a successful spring league and funds were tight, that's what I would do.

Jesus that's embarrassing. I watched numerous interviews with Ebersol before the league started and they seemed to have put in a good plan to sustain themselves. To not even last a season is just a very poor reflection on everyone involved.

Thank God he didn't kill them with scissors otherwise that picture would look really insensitive They tried but it was a family photo and you couldn't see Poyer behind the crowd of kids

Okay, it may be way too early but for what it's worth I'm going to predict the Bills wins/losses: Titans - win Cowboys - win Browns - Loss (but a great game - I'd love it if they made this a primetime game) Steelers - Loss Giants - Win Broncos - Win Ravens - Win (revenge is sweet!) Eagles - Loss Bengals - Win Skins - Win Dolphins - Win Dolphins - Win Jets - Win Jets - Loss Pats - Loss Pats -------------------------------------------------- Win (yes, I have a feeling we get one off the bastards this year) And now I get to count 'em up and see if we're playoff bound... 11 - 5 Haha, I didn't think it would be that many. I'll live with that (live in this case spelled H-A-R-D O-N). This would have us not only in the playoffs but challenging for the division crown. Man, what a Christmas/New Year that would be. Also, I'd love to qualify for the playoffs with a few weeks remaining, just so we can all relax a bit and enjoy the push for the division, safe in the knowledge that whatever happens we're definitely going to be alive past December.

Looking at those teams, there are a hell of a lot of them we can beat. Yes, other teams will be looking to get better too, but I can already smell a good shot at the playoffs

Posts this on April's Fools, slips his son the tongue on Valentines Day, does this guy know how to celebrate or what!

Yeah, it all makes sense now! I was thinking of it being closed purely for other events like concerts. So if it was just freezing cold would they still keep it closed you think? I just love watching the Bills play in the winter and have always hated the way domes destroy that, even though I understand many people want warmth and confort. To me Green Bay is the ideal for playoff football, cold and a grass field. Every time they host a playoff game I get, excuse the pun, chills. Lol, as above, when someone with more common sense than me explains it, it seems so obvious!

Serious question as I know nothing about these things. If the Bills had a stadium with a retractable roof, would they be allowed to keep it open during a freezing snow storm when playing a team like the phins, or any warm weather team, or would that be considered unfair? Of course I'm assuming the fans would want to be outdoors as per tradition but maybe a roof would attract a whole new set of fans and they wouldn't want it open.

Urgh, somewhere that guy who bet five grand on the Vikes is having a terrible flashback

Weird, that's EXACTLY the same injury Robert Kraft's masseuse suffered. Ironically she is also known for the clap

Agreed, I bet she's a great cook as well.

Oh and I always had a soft spot for Eric Metcalf, great returner and receiver out of the backfield

Christian Okoye, the Nigerian Nightmare. Always loved watching this giant play. He was more like WWF character than a RB. I hadn't really heard his name mentioned for years and then suddenly they made a Football Life episode about him, which was cool. Always liked Barry Foster as well, and our own high stepping Kenny Davis.

Yeah, way too early to say if anyone was completely right or wrong, but always interesting to see the early reactions. Looking forward to logging on during this year's draft. Would be interesting to go back and see the initial reactions when EJ or maybe Maybin were drafted!

Actually after watching all the snaps I could see why they were so enamoured with him. There was a point in one of the games that took place in the middle of a snow storm where he led a scoring drive towards the end and then ran to the sideline and was getting in his teammates faces, ultra fired up. That was the point when I began to look forward to seeing him play for the Bills. As lots of people said last season, it's not just the stuff on the field that excites me about Allen, it's his whole demeanour during the games. Love his attitude and competitive streak.

I wasn't posting here then but I was reading. as someone who doesn't follow college ball I was very interested to read what people here had to say. In the end I just went and watched all his games from Wyoming.

Didn't realise there was an archives section here so I found the thread where we drafted Allen last year. Makes for an interesting read to see the initial reactions again. Any of you guys changed your minds at all now? Stand by your opinion? On the fence? https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/topic/205086-rd1-pick-7-josh-allen-qb-wyoming/

Barry's the best I ever saw. Never saw Brown play

HE. COULD. GO. ALL. THE. WAY!

I was carrying my deceased grandfather home from the crematorium today when I bumped into Antonio Brown. He was pretty pleasant at first, but when I mentioned that my grandfather was a lifelong Bills fan he knocked me to the ground and pissed in the urn. As he ran away he started to sing a Diana Ross song. Such a ***** diva
