dollars 2 donuts

...and ya know Gunner, it's kind of like the old adage...we don't need all of the OL in FA, we just really need two. Get two guys and draft two guys who can come in right away, to go along with the 1-2 solid options you currently have iand it shapes things up nicely.

That's the same story as Marvin Lewis. I respectfully get annoyed with those who think this is our imagination and that it is SCS (Small CIty Syndrome). EDIT: Thus, the true importance of having a franchise QB here...to drag others here in his wake

As I said recently and as I said during the season...even simply above average OL talent is not going to hit the market. It is too valuable of a position. Teams will let their WRs and RBs walk before they'd let their O lineman hit the open market.

Promo, the only thing missing above is... "mic drop...Promo walks away" Edit: Here is the thing, even if Allen makes no improvement whatsoever (and I find that very unlikely as he improved throughout the year), just from the stand point of this team being better at certain positions I think they will be better...8-8....again, this is if Allen doesn't improve at all.

And you know what, dammit, in my opinion Wade is an all time great defensive coordinator. I would love to see him get another ring with another team.

Kent was so good. My God, he was so good. We were spoiled at the position from 86 to 96.

The last Super Bowl was a quarter of century ago...more than a whole generation. No offense to anyone, but if you weren't there...man...you just don't know what it was like. Luka, explain to someone young that Third and 6 in the K-Gun Offense was a lot of times a running down, and it was Kelly making the call, and their heads might spin. ...honestly, you had to be there to see the way it worked.

Get the Ring, NRC. You and Robert...please get the Ring.

Thank you Kyle Crabb. Great insight. Are you done? Good...in this scenario the Bills are going to trade down, and in any scenario if they have an offer they can't pass up. EDIT: I am confident in this GM and Coach getting 3 Starters (or rotational guys) in their first three picks and hopefully 4 in their first 5, if they get an extra second or third rounder due to trading down.

I heard he was the only QB in NFL history to best John Elway, Dan Marino and Joe Montana in three straight conference championships.

And their not even letting him hit the market. I’m telling you even above average talent isn’t going to get out on the market, as much as I hope it would. The bodine’s of the world will be available. Really good talent just doesn’t get out there.

As much as I love these threads they end up getting me too excited. The lead up to the draft is like the lead up to Christmas. However, once it’s done and you have your guys all other options are off the table. ...but man are there some excuses ting players out there.

It gets down to this: I will watch, but unless it is a great party I will be in and out, especially if it is not a great game or the patriots are doing well. Here's the thing...I am tired of even rooting against them. Its not better because I have an enemy in the super bowl, it is worse because I am indifferent to them losing, on what is a championship level. If you invite me to dinner and you serve brussel sprouts and you make me eat them, which I don't like, it is going to bug me. If you keep inviting me after a couple of times, even if it is a great dinner, I am just not going to come.

I honestly think he will be a consultant and involved with the Bills (not just a rah-rah guy), but i doubt he would take that much time away from his family to do that right now. He's earned these days. EDIT: Come on. Come on. Come on! KW to Lorax: "I haven't seen anyone my age in awhile." Tremendous.

@1ZAYDAY1 Great post. No offense to Anthony Johnson, but I found your review of him to be absolute spot on to what I saw during the season.

Yeah, it is funny to think that the LA Rams have more than 50 years of history in Los Angeles, but will be going for their first ever Super Bowl win there, while St. Louis Rams got one in only there 5th or so year.

Thank God they didn't do a search on a "reach around tackle" or "3rd input running options" or "Cleveland steamer turnaround." Do you want more?

Yolo, you know I love you but you have to be kidding us. The heck with the story above, the real story is the second video that rolls after the Haslam story...John Fox stating the Bills are his team to make the biggest gains next season. He likes Beane and he thinks after clearing up the dead cap space the Bills will straighten out the OLine and the O in general. Key. To. The. City. Today!!!

Man, TS, not to get ahead of ourselves, but I think you would be seriously looking at 3 definite, 4 likely, and possibly 5 starters with the above, if done correctly. Yesterday I mentioned another second could get us (this is my preference mind you) the best T, a great WR and one of those Tier 1 Cs talked about in this year's draft. All in the first three picks. Throw in a possible G and another lineman in FA I can't help but get excited about the grunt end of OL foundation getting set-up.

Please tell me FA is on Friday and the draft is next Tuesday, because I honestly can't wait for all this. I feel like a giddy little girl who can't stop twirling her hair in excitement, except I am twirling air as I am bald.

After the 2004 season I don't think I could be more excited. I knew we were going to step back after last season playoff run, so this most recent August I was a little less excited. ...so yeah, I am absolutely fired up (pending draft and free agency, to a degree) for the 2019 season. I don't know if it is a playoff year, NHK, but I do know it will be the foundation of the team for years to come and not just a blip that goes away a year or two later.

I know, right Huddsy? This is honestly what I wanted to at least hear about this off season. I loved seeing Josh at a Sabres game...especially a game that was more than a week after the Bills' season ended. He was in town for a reason and it wasn't hockey. The Bills' season ended. His didn't.

Great take, Rook. Great take indeed.

Nobody deserves to go out this way, but especially this guy. Mr. Thankless QB for the entirety of his career. Honestly believe if healthy he would have taken his third team to the playoffs this year. Damn shame.

Yeah, but for me I really didn't like the pass to Hogan wherein you clearly see the ball was starting to come out of his control and was only saved by hitting the ground so he could regain control. That getting upheld after review was ridiculous.
