+1. I think Bills are smart money to win this week. Jets roughed up Bills earlier in season, Bills coming off a stinker, EJ with something to prove against Geno, and I'm sure Marrone didn't like Rex out-coaching him last time.

Hard to be aggressive when you're backed up inside your 5 yard line. Game was lost when defense couldn't force a 3-and-out on 1st-and-20 on the first possession of overtime.

Disagree, but hard to argue with this line of thinking.

Don't think he's been the same since he had his knee taken out in the Redskins pre-season game.

Don't know if Freeman is too much of a head-case, but Bills have to bring in someone who is starting or at least back-up caliber. Owe it to the other players and fans to at least have a chance to win games.

Gronkowski's gonna have ridiculous numbers when he comes back. Brady has no one to throw too. If Brady didn't have Amendola last week, we win the game.

Was very impressed by Tuel. Throws a great ball and knows where he wants to go with it. Worried about his slow release though. Really cocks the ball behind his head. Hope he keeps up the good play and keeps getting snaps.

Haha. i thought that sideline reporter was gonna start giving shoulder rubs.

I'm no d-line expert, but Troupe gets no movement or penetration. Not sure if he's coached to stay stationary, but looks like he couldn't run around an orange cone. Think it was the Hasselback-Hilton TD, where Hughes ran a nice inside stunt opening up a lane to the QB for Troupe, but Troupe couldn't dis-engage from his blocker.

Agreed but the randomness of teams like Kansas City and Buffalo being on the opposite ends of the spectrum in regards to playing teams with more rest suggests that NFL doesn't use that as 1 of its parameters.

It isn't hard to add a constraint to a scheduling/decision matrix that divisional opponents can't play each other coming off more rest. It's not a conspiracy by the NFL. Point the Bills are making is that NFL doesn't attempt to control for this and it would be very easy to do. Any MBA student could do it.

Who's saying anything about a conspiracy? The Bills have sucked for 13 years. Teams should not have extra rest for its 6 divisional games. Not a hard concept to grasp.

Given their importance, no team should be given additional rest before a divisional game. Bills absolutely right to gripe about that.

After watching some youtube game film, not much flash to his game. Reminds me of some of those old school hoops players who were smooth in their movements and didn't look particularly quick until they went by you. Surprised how strong his arm was for a guy who doesn't step/hop into his passes. For him to be as successful as we want him to be, think he's gonna have to dial up the intensity. Playing that under control worked when he was way more talented than the competition, but from the 5-6 games I watched he left you wanting more. Hope he's got it in him.

Ralph channeling his inner Al Davis. Bills having a Raiders-type draft. Actually kind of like it, considering how boring this team has been the past decade.

I think you're on the money again. Athletically, Collins isn't much different from Mingo. Guy is a physical freak and has had more production. Hunter and Rogers also fill the need of a bigger WR who can stretch the field. Who are we targeting in the 3rd round?

With the new rookie wage scale, that study is basically irrelevant.

I'd be shocked if we don't take a WR with #41 or #46. Weakest spot on the roster. Most likely a DB or LB with the other 2nd.

Maybe you're right, but seems like the last couple years, the inside info about the Bills draft was consistent. This year, it seems like it's all over the place on who Bills like. Easy to predict Gilmore, Dareus, and even Spiller the past 3 years. Honestly have no idea what direction Bills are gonna take at #8.

Found it extremely interesting that Whaley mentioned Landry Jones as a potential 1st rounder when talking on the John Murphy show. It was basically unsolicited. Mentioned Smith, Barkley, Manuel, and Nassib as well. Polian mentioned that he thought Landry Jones was the best QB in the draft followed by Nassib. Gut feeling, but I think the Bills will be happy to sit tight at #41 and take whomever is available from Nassib, Jones, and Manuel.

Wouldn't be surprised if Dion Jordan is available at #8. Probably comes down to Jordan or Eifert if they stay at #8 or trade back if Austin is still available.

Not saying a deal is done, but unless there's some kind of rule that you have to announce a signing once the ink is dry it makes no sense to announce this deal until at least Friday night. Same with a potential Brandon Moore signing. Everyone knows we need a QB, but LB and Guard are also perceived needs.

Agreed, but probably wouldn't cost more than a 4th to move up 5-7 spots.

Like the trade-down and think it is a good possibility. Would like to see Bills take Eifert at #16 though. Then go get Barkley or Nassib at the top of the 2nd round, and get a WR with the Rams 2nd rounder.

Never said that's why they traded Revis. Talking about their supposed interest in Nassib in 1st round. Kind of like Nix and Whaley's fawning over Austin at the pre-draft luncheon.
