My mistake. Regardless, he surely wasn't involved in that pick at all. But they let those guys go! Letting Norman go was a disastrous move for them.

I don't think that was dog's point, although I could be wrong.

In the long run, we'll all be dead.

In a word, yes.

... And neither McDemott nor Beane drafted them. Christ, McDermott was in Philly when Newton was drafted. Smith was drafted ages ago anyway, and long before either Beane or McDermott were there. Plus they let Norman and Smith go while they were still good!

Hate to say it, but Buffalo fans, despite their passion, are morons with regard to injury.

No offense, man, but I relish the day when I can pull this post up after Watkins has an 85 catch / 1400 yard / 12 td season. If he remains healthy ( and he is healthy now), that's easily in range.

Stupid trades (and they have to be looked at in combination). We're looking at years of JauronBall where character is prioritized at the expense of talent and the Bills squeak to 6-10 with "good guys who play the game right."

Should I point out that there are about seven basic grammatical mistakes in your post critiquing Watkins' grammar? Yup.

Jerry Sullivan supports the trade. His knowledge of football is extremely weak to the point of being embarrassing. Nuff said. These are bad trades, and when you see McDermott DCing under Andy Reid 25 or 37 months from now on opening weekend, we'll know for sure.

If they're that concerned, the info would have made its way to the Rams. The Rams aren't giving up a second for damaged goods. The Bills showcased him in practice and last night. That's all the Rams needed to see. My guess is that he's basically 100 percent right now. We shall see. Never assume that the Bills are making the right move in dealings with other teams. I'd say they get it right one out of every four-five times.

It's not, of course. My favorite is the from Aaron Schatz at FO: https://twitter.com/FO_ASchatz/status/896054550737506304?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.newyorkupstate.com%2Fbuffalo-bills%2Findex.ssf%2F2017%2F08%2Fnational_media_reacts_to_buffalo_bills_trading_sammy_watkins_ronald_darby.html .

yup.

Thanks for the bad news. I was wondering ... LOL!

I respect your view although I disagree with it, but this team is not going to win 8 games. They don't have the talent, and their schedule is brutal.

If they have two consecutive 4-5 win seasons, this new regime will be out. Bank on it. You are aware of that, right?

LOL.

Gaines was one of the worst CBs in the league last year.

The Eagles are 169-112-1 since 2000. They have 11 winning seasons, two 8-8 seasons, and 10 playoff appearances. The Bills are ... well, you know.

More to the point, trades are about the FUTURE, not the past, and Watkins projects as a superstar provided he's healthy. He is 24, and I can't think of one player who was permanently debilitated by the injury he suffered. Matthews projects as 10.5-11.5 ypc JAG playing in the slot.

Are you saying they wouldn't have wanted to keep him if he stayed healthy this year and had 85 catches for 1450 yards and 13 TDs? Because he's certainly capable of that.

They could have franchised him.

He did reach his potential in 2015, where for an 8 game stretch he was arguably the best WR in the league. The injury he suffered isn't career ending, and he just turned 24 years old.
