Great points Captain, I concur!

Hey Alphadawg7, how ya doing. I appreciate your input, you kind of give this concept credibility so thanks. As far as Brown goes I think he might be as much if not more of a headcase than OBJ. In the last several weeks he has been making some unsavory headlines of off the field kind of behavior. As far as I know OBJ has kept his nose clean when it comes to this regard. And I anticipate others to start making suggestions like A.J. Green but to me the down side to him is he is 30 and is coming off of a pretty big foot (toe) injury. I don’t want a Sammy Part II and I don’t Beane does either. No, there is a few more positives to OBJ vs some of the other big time WRs.

I hear ya on the chemistry and the attitude thing but if this were to ever happen I would pitch the concept to him that he could do something that NOBODY has ever been able to do and that is to bring a championship to Buffalo. Make him realize that he can do something historical and unprecedented. Believe me, that would make a difference to a big ego.

I ask this on the heels of Jay Glazer predicting the Giants trading him. At first one would think no way but after thinking about it it could be a possibility that would make sense for both franchises. I’m gonna list some bullet points. 1. Both GMs have a congenial relationship. 2. The Giants with 2 top ten 1st rd picks would allow them to draft their future franchise b whoever that may be. 3. It’s no secret that the Bills are in need for a big time WR and OBJ just might be the best in the game. 4. The Bills have the resources to cough up a contract of this magnitude. 5. There is plenty of OL in FA, probably our biggest need, available. 6. It’s not uncommon to find good OL in the 2nd rd and after. Matter of fact more times than not OL in the 1st rd usually turn out average at best. 7. Our defense is pretty good as of now but any added pieces can and will be addressed in FA and the draft. 8. OBJ just might be the straw that stirs the drink and makes everything else perform more efficiently. I’m sure that I’m gonna get destroyed over this but Beane has proven that he is not intimidated to make big time decisions.

I started reading about him several days, seems to be a McDermott kind of guy. He was at best to go somewhere in the 3rd rd or later but now I see that one of the pundits is projecting Buffalo to take him with their 2nd rd pick. Funny thing is that I’ve been expecting Buffalo to pick up DT Gerald McCoy in FA if he were to become released. If Buffalo ends up with both players we would be loaded with McCoys! Lol! https://247sports.com/college/texas-am/Article/Texas-AM-Erik-McCoy-2019-NFL-Draft-129047139/Amp/

This totally makes sense.

I was looking at some of the teams that might make some signicant cuts to save on the salary cap. Jacksonville looks to be -6M+ if I’m reading it right. Anyways when I looked Dareus’ contract he’s due a 2M roster bonus come 3/15. If they were to release him before it would be zero in dead cap and have a 10.585M in cap savings. If that’s all accurate I wouldn’t be too shocked if Jacksonville did indeed give him the boot. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/jacksonville-jaguars/marcell-dareus-7718/

At minimum we have to secure our C. I expect either Mat Paradis or Mitch Morse to be a Bill. Continuing in upgrading our OL I think that G Ramon Foster and Ja’Wuan James would be great additions for us. Staying on the offensive side of the ball 1 of these 2 WRs would solidify our WR position. They are both former 1st rd picks and eerily share the same jersey number (#11) and were taken in the same draft and hat would be DeVante Parker, if he gets released, or Kevin White. I would to see that come to fruition, I feel that that would make a great WR room, players that need to resurrect their careers. Now on the defensive side of the ball I would be absolutely shocked if DT Gerald McCoy doesn’t become a Bill.

Here’s my thinking. Go for the best edge rusher at the #9 spot and here’s why. OL in the early 1st more times than not are just vanilla at best. A good LB can be found as early as the 3rd rd and as late as in the 5th, especially in a heavily loaded defense draft. A CB doesn’t make a lot of sense at #9 with the way our secondary is looking right now. WR? No, right now that would be a luxury pick for us and we are no way in position to be that cocky. Our DL is still a irk in progress and teams aren’t always in such a desirable position to be able to grab a top tier pass rusher. Hughes is still lethal but time stands still for nobody. Beane/McDermott are big believers in the DL, just review their body of work in the last 4 or 5 years. Beane has gone on record as saying that his philosophy is to draft and develops their own and then pay them on their next contract. A big time pass rusher isn’t cheap so it makes sense to pick the right player with the right mindset to develope and make them a franchise player when it’s time. As far as who that will be I have no clue, I don’t know enough about college football.

Beane has had 2 seasons under his belt so there is a bit of a body of work to try and figure out. Now that he cleared the books of players that didn’t fit his vision and the culture that he’s trying to create I think that it’s going to be an exciting time to be a Bills’ fan. Other than a couple of big slashes in FA I expect a few other signings that will help solidify the roster and give the upcoming draft with better flexibility. Beane went on record stating that the C position is of great importantence so I fully expect for him to get either Denver’s Matt Paradis or KC’s Mitch Morse.As far as the rest of of the OL it’s going to be based a lot on who they keep and who they replace. Either way I don’t expect the Rams’ G Rodger Saffold to be coming here or even to leave the Rams as far as that goes. There’s another pool of younger player(s) that Beane can choose from. Pittsburgh’ G Ramon Foster comes to mind. I also think that other players like Miami’s RT Ja’Wuan James and New England’s LT Trenton Brown to name a few. I expect that at least 1, possibly 2 will be acquired when FA opens. Staying on the offensive side of the ball there is a couple of former 1st rd WRs that are available. Coincidentally they both wear #11. Chicago’s Kevin White and Miami’s DeVante Parker are interesting prospects to consider. Looking at the defense an acquisition is needed as well. Don’t be too surprised if Beane makes a run at Tampa’s DT Gerald McCoy as well. Now that Kyle is gone McCoy would be a great veteran addition. All of this leads me to believe that if the Bills stay at the #9 slot then Beane will go defense, best avail, the DL could stand an addition or 2. An edge rusher would be my first choice.

If the Bills stand pat at #9 then I expect Beane to secure an OL or 2 in FA and the Bills take the best defensive player on the board. I don’t think that it will be a CB or S either because our secondary is pretty solid right now and LB can be addressed in the mid rounds as well. I’m thinking that if the Bills were to get Tampa’s DT Gerald McCoy in either FA or in a trade then an edge rusher will be the pick, especially if they dump Trent Murphy as some pundits have speculated. I don’t know much about college football or their players so if any of this comes to fruition then who would you say is one of the better edge rushers that would be available to us at the #9 slot?

I couldn’t agree more! I never could stand the old man and then that loser of a twin. I thought Rex could be different but I’m totally remorseful for being so naive about this clown and that is exactly what he is, a big, loudmouth circus clown! Good riddance!

Mike Williams 2.0??

I’m no expert and I’m wondering what you saw on that video that impressed you but I think that it’s safe to say that he’ll never get mistaken for being a Tony Boselli. What I saw was smaller lighter guys getting inside of him, backing him up. He has no punch and from what was displayed on the video the DEs in the NFL will eat him up.

I like this kind of thinking, I never looked at it this way, very interesting.

If so I would love to see the Bills get him. It would be 1 more position reinforced before the draft. https://www.bucsnation.com/platform/amp/2018/12/30/18161938/gerald-mccoy-says-goodbye-to-buccaneers-fans

I’m choked. There’s another jersey # that should never be worn again. Thanks for everything Kyle, much love your way.

I’m proud of Maybin and ashamed of myself. There is much more to life than football and Maybin exemplifies that. Witnessing his accomplishments post football has revealed to me my shallowness. The guy is doing something very positive in his life and his community. My hat is off to him.

It’s disgusting on how this franchise does not learn anything from it’s past. The 2 examples that really stick out to me is the coaching changes to the defense under Schwartz and the OL under Kromer and how they have regressed. I realize that in 2 years we have had 2 OCs but what is overlooked is McDermott’s committee to OL coach Juan Castillo. He’s been here both years and the OL getting worse with each season. I know that the OL has went through some unexpected changes (Wood & Incognito) but it also appears that Beane is hellbent on cleaning out the roster with trades and such (Cordy for example). I get it and wouldn’t have a problem with it if they had SOME Kind of plan or solution to providing some decent production out of that unit. They didn’t and I have a problem with that. There should be some level of production or level that should be demanded from these administrators/coaches. They are stealing money by putting that kind of crap on the field, either by arrogance or by ineptness. If I were the Pegulas and spent my money on these boys and their great process I’d be demanding some kind of return on the money or some kind of refund. McBeane wants to demand accountability, while they better practice what they preach then and start showing some kind of life out of that unit and the offense. They are doing nothing but feeding us dog food.

I looked but didn’t see it posted that Brady went to Instagram right after the Bears’ game and posted something to the effect of “Woo, Bills Mafia here we come!”. Traditionally throughout the years the Bills, no matter how bad the team was, would fight on courage for the most part. After the way we got throttled against the Colts, where even McDermott wondered about the confidence of the team, I’m just sick with anticipation of what might unfold on MNF. I never expected for for us to win and I’m almost alright with that but it will make me puke if the Bills go out there and just lay down and take a beating from these blank blank blanks. No matter what the outcome is all I want from the Bills is to stand up to them and punch them in the mouth throughout the game. I will realize that they are heavily overmatched but I’ll really be sick if they just go out there and quit at any part of this game. I’m calling the Bills out! This is about pride, either you got it or you don’t. Let’s see what they are really made of.

I for one would be all for us to trade Benjamin and retain something for him. Replace him with Kevin White, who I think a change of scenery would do him good. While we’re at it cash out Shady. I don’t see any benefit in retaining him. I would hate to see Jerry Hughes go but it wouldn’t surprise me if the Bills moved on from him. The Raiders would be a logical trade partner, maybe in some kind of deal for Amari Cooper. Needless to say that if there is playsr(s) that would upgrade our OL would have to be a top priority but I can’t conjure up who that could be as far as availability goes. I also expect some coaching changes as well but that will happen in the off season but is also a need. I’m tired of seeing these B and C tier bargain basement acquisitions that the McBeane has been loading up on aka Taiwan Jones, Andre Holmes, Cadet formerly etc etc. I don’t know if the Bills can get out from underneath Charles Clay before the year ends but there’s another player that they need to move on from. It’s getting harder and harder to stay optimistic with this franchise but they need to start putting it all on the line from here on out. The McBeane had no problem with cutting a swath through a lot of our former players, now they need to start replacing them with better quality of players.

Teams usually get about 12 possessions @ game. We need to score on at least 3 of them and 1 of them needs to be a TD for us to have any kind of chance of winning. Btw, who was the midget??

What are we doing?? It’s time to do the right thing. Let the guy go and get paid, it’s a no brainer. Shady has been a good soldier for us, give him a chance to go out on top. This in some ways kind of reminds me of OJ. At the end of his career he was willing to go back home to California in a trade and let Buffalo reap some benefit from yesteryear’s talent, a real win-win situation for everyone involved. I say Free Shady and let the future begin now.

That’s the main barber, I believe that they have 2 shops, 1 @ the stadium and another in the community. Long story short a few weeks ago several of them were in Orlando playing some pick basketball. My son (33 years old) joined them in 3 games with 3 on 3. They shut them out in all 3 games. The main guy is Kenny and he was pretty impressed with my son, they even became Face Book friends. My son said that Kenny was pretty cool and is awfully nice guy fwiw.

I get the whole change the culture thing and putting your own thumbprint on an organization but this is ridiculous. It’s a business and production is what counts. Last year we had some success but I wouldn’t say it was because it was McDermott, we had talent on the team, even after they gutted it with some of our best players. It’s no secret that when a new boss comes in the employees are a little bit more motivated. I think that the best thing about them is their drafting abilities and that has blemishes (Zay Jones in particular) as well. As far as I’m concerned their trading prowlness sucks, especially when it comes to WRs. I have ave been a hardcore fan for over 4 decades but this is getting to be tiresome. I’ll always watch them and I’ll always will be rooting for them but I must admit, I think that I have finally have stopped believing in them. What an embarrassing organization.
