dollars 2 donuts

Well...when you actually put it in writing and force me to think about it...yes, I get queasy. Please don't think you've accomplished something today, Doc. I've been queasy over this team before.

I know I am in the minority opinion here, but I really think these four guys (Shady, Gore, Yeldon and Singletary) can help us win this year, and I put winning, even in small percentage increases, over draft picks. I will also make the point that I've made here before and I will likely make here again: however bad you thought the offensive line was last year and however much talking heads try to tell us it wasn't all bad STOP...because it was way worse than even the numbers indicated, man to a man, and it truly was all bad, and for a couple of cherries on top Peterman and Anderson were the starting (and finishing in one instance) QBs in 6 games last year when our early-season-green-but-better-later-rookie QB wasn't playing. EDIT: My apologies, it was 5 games. There was the one game by Barkley. The point? Shady is still good. He is a work out nut, and even if he has lost a step, and I am not sure that he has, he is still a dynamic weapon on this offense and still a potential HoF. Above and beyond that all of them have their individual attributes (Gore-tough N/S runner & FHoF; Yeldon-receiver, Singeltary-youth and a side step that appears awesome) that I believe exponentially makes the Bills a better team and maybe a truly special backfield. Oh, and so...I don't want to trade one of our backs. One more thing, I feel very bad for Isaiah Crowell and I hate when this happens to players around the league.

Honestly, HUD, having watched him in person I like him, but there were times where it looked like he was honestly the 2nd or 3rd best receiver on the team. I know he had the best numbers, but I just liked some of what Osborn did better.

Yep, Eps. Again, as a result of the article after the season I truly believe that Dawkins has learned his lesson. He took for granted his role as a pro and thought he could just show up. He is immensely talented and can do better and has expressed his desire to do better.

Eloquent as ever, buddy. You aim too high here at the TSW. Throw in the occasional "gotcha", "gonnas" and "I seen it" to not stick out around here as much.

Nice! Cheer loudly, eball!!!

eball, I'm sorry I can't help you. I'm just replying because it is frustrating as we had an unbroken chain from 1960-2008. No more.

So, if they go 9-7 in back to back years, a winning record in 3 of 4 years, and an overall winning record over 4 years (33-31) as a staff in Bills history for the first time in 20 years they should get the boot? Sounds old time Billy’s to do.

This has to be number 1, and after everything that has gone on doesn’t he have to be impressed with what this organization has done and want to be a part of it as long the money is there?

He bet $5,000 on the Vikes to cover against the Bills and people found out about it.

MJS, as someone who watched UB and assessing your point, Tyree had great receivers, two great RBs and a great offensive line for the MAC. If you consider the graduations taking place for UB this is the reason why he tried to transfer or, as ended up finally, he declared for the draft...the same team was not coming back and he figured he’d strike while the iron is hot.

Watched the highlight video...man, the kid does have some nice hands.

I know nothing about him. Please can someone lie about their knowledge of him?

Happy, I hear you, buddy...but, please I just want to refocus on the fact and my point that I don’t think that means a Shady is done.

DAYMAN, I NEED AUGUST HERE RIGHT NOW! ?

One thing I can tell you for sure is that fans will rally behind the very likeable and affable inexperienced Rosen and have trouble wrapping their arms around the prickly and veteran Fitzpatrick. Yup...it’s silly when you actually read it or say it out loud, isn’t it?

Guys, seriously, as was mentioned during a phone conversation with Bagel from this board earlier today...how fun is preseason going to be? we honestly could be looking at olinemen playing into the third and fourth quarter in front of Barkley that may end up starting for this team. Our fourth quarter preseason line might end being made up entirely of multi-year nfl starters. i know it is just preseason, but may I please claim 3-1 right now?

There’s the thing, too NewEra, we have so long to wait I just can’t sit around and watch guys I like come off the board. Maybe they trade up, but unlikely. Edit: actually, if they traded a lot a way to get a 4th and we like the guy I probably would walk away happy with the five young men we picked up, especially as deep as our roster is now.

Scribo linked to this early. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/nfl-draft-2019-running-back-rankings-lets-break-down-skills-of-top-rbs-from-elusiveness-to-contact-balance/ does not not mean he is poor receiver nd please see my more recent above. He was the worst rated among that group of rookies. Respectfully, I’m not sure he makes a great long armed target. He he has been on the field a lot in 3 years and had 51 grabs, half of high in 1 season. my point is even though this is a guy I like and I was one of the first 8 or so posters in this thread, is that I just don’t believe Singletary spells the end of McCoy’s career in Buffalo.

Protocol in the cbs rating of him up above in this thread of the guys they had listed I believe he was the worst rated receiver. it doesn’t me he has had drops and maybe doesn’t mean he is a poor receiver. It does mean it is not a surpurlarive of his and...I kind of will take Shady McCoys receiving skills over his. If he is a better running back and a better receiver than Shady please show me. I’m waiting.

Uh-oh.

I believe the top five on your list are the 2019 backfield. 4 RBs and 1 FB

I saw his comments about this off-season and what he realizes and now means to be a pro. honestly, NewEra, he’ll bring it this year.

Great points, cage. Honesty goodness, I believe we are better at 8 positions on offense. 4 new offensive linemen, a TE, a WR, and with two existing positions including a renewed commitment by Dawkins and Allen I believe will improve on his own and with the cast around him. if you want to throw in Zay and Foster? Man, then things are looking so up.
