  1. I hope not! Have you seen his "blocking" all year? This was a helluva play today, but I'm done with the Logan Thomas experiment. Time to move on from him.

  3. Good question. Currently the Packers have the 12th & 32nd pick, due to the Saints having the best record. The Raiders have the 4th, 25th & 27th pick. These picks can change due to how the playoffs turnout. Trading with the Packers may not be as ideal since they are only 2 spots behind us. The Bills would get little in return. The Raiders on the other hand, would be a great move. If the Raiders want a QB with their top pick then want another highly rated defensive player, they have the draft capital to do it. The Bills could easily ask for the Raiders remaining top picks in the 20's, then be put in a situation where selecting both an O-Lineman & Wide Receiver would make more sense, value wise.
  4. I can live with that. The Packers & Raiders have multiple picks in the first round, let's keep them in mind.
  5. My one post season wish is that someone injures Gronkowski and forces him into retirement.
  6. I like the way you think, although I doubt we can get all of those players, but it sure would be nice to see the Bills try. As for the draft, I think that the Bills should look into the possibility of trading down. Specifically with teams like the Packers & Raiders, whom both have multiple first rounders. If the Bills are picking in the top 10, which is very likely, that pick could be very enticing. Getting another 2nd round pick would be a good thing.
  7. Went and had a double feature at the theater today. First saw "Mary, Queen of Scots". Acting was great. Ronan & Robbie are great. Historically accurate? Probably not. An intriguing take on the life of Queen Mary, and some great cinematography. Overall, a good not great movie. After that I saw, "Vice". Give Christian Bale the Oscar for Best Actor right now! He is amazing, as is Amy Adams. Maybe she will finally get that elusive Oscar. The movie itself is disjointed. I really don't know what this movie was trying to be. Historically accurate? In some ways yes & no. Is it a hit piece? Most definitely yes. I may have been naive in hoping for a serious and honest portrayal of this man, but look at who the director is. Having said that, there are some very serious looks into Cheney's life throughout the first half of the movie that are quite good. His alcoholism, his relationship with his family, and his poor health. The second half of the movie when Cheney becomes Vice President is when the movie becomes very preachy. This man really was the real life Darth Vader, and the movie does not hold back. There are a lot of moments where the film is trying to show us just how clever they are, but it comes off as pompous. There's also a lot of weird jump cuts to photos of symbols and paintings and animals, along with a narrator in this movie which comes off as gratuitous and silly. Steve Carell sure looks like Donald Rumsfeld, but his performance is way over the top. Sam Rockwell kind of looks like George W. Bush, but what a surprise, he is portrayed as a drunken idiot. Despite all the evils that this man apparently possesses/possessed, at the very end of the movie they let Cheney have his say in a final scene that is quite stirring. Which again confuses me as to what exactly this movie was trying to be. Again Bale & Adams are top notch, the movie itself is good not great.
  8. Damn, I was really hoping he would come back for one more season. God Bless You, Kyle Williams. You have been a great Buffalo Bill. We appreciate all you have done for the team, and we all wish you the very best in the next chapter of your life. Sad that you had to endure a lot of losing seasons with this team, but you gave us a great present on New Year's Eve of 2017 that will go down as the greatest New Year's Eve for all Bills fans. I can't wait to see your name on the Bills Wall of Fame. You will be missed.
  9. To each their own. I thought it was well paced. It wasn't a surprising movie. Eastwood was good in it. I thought the ending was fine. I don't know why Laurence Fishburne was in it. Other than that, a solid effort.
  10. If that's the case, then the entire defense will be playing their last game as Bills on Sunday.
  11. Disagree, Alexander made plays.
  12. Me too. I see no reason to cut him. Charles Clay & Logan Thomas on the other hand.....Bye-Bye! Sign another Tight End in Free Agency and then draft Zach Gentry. That would make me happy.
  13. I could easily see Lorax staying around for another season, maybe 2. Kyle is a 50-50 chance. He still plays at a high level and he continues to produce. Granted he's not an every down player, but so what? I'm hoping he comes back. His leadership and being a veteran to help bring along the younger players is important to our defense.
  14. That's true. How much more can he improve? I do think his play dropped a bit during the second half of the season. If Jake Fromm & Tua Tagovailoa declare next year, then the 2020 QB class will be exciting.
  15. Good move. I don't think he's quite ready yet.
  16. I haven't seen this yet, and I usually tend to stay away from 3D viewings. I don't see why this movie would be any different. I would just watch it in it's standard format.
  17. My grandmother would save some Christmas cards, then she would cu out the designs and then re-use them as labels for Christmas presents.
  18. The Raiders should play in San Diego next year.
  19. First off, I am a Michigan fan. They have had some very good QB's in the past, but they did not translate to NFL success. Elvis Grbac & Jim Harbaugh had their moments, but they weren't great. Same thing goes for Chad Henne. Tom Brady is part of a cheating culture.
  20. ***** those flowers! Michigan has never been QB University. The only one who has had real success got it from a cheating culture.
  21. How many great QB's have come out of Michigan?
  22. Yet he got a team to the Super Bowl 6 years ago. Have offensive game plans changed that much since then? He is?
