What is so hard to believe? Lack of attendance? Less advertising revenue? Perhaps you can send Deborah Wasserman-Schultz an e-mail and ask her if you are allowed to view the situation with an open mind.

Good points, but I think the kneeling is also tied in. Lots of people I talk to are really pissed at the players who do this. This would seem to make it easier to stay home on a 20 degree, snowy afternoon.
-
I am guessing that the 2 main reasons are the fan boycott, and that Bills Fans do not have a realistic expectation of winning due to years of no playoffs? What do you think?
-
True John but you might want to include some offensive linemen in the mix at almost every position.
-
Didn't you hear? They WERE awarded a spot next year......against YOUR favorite team. You might as well throw in the towel now.

You Sir, are one class act. I have said it over and over......this is probably the 7th or 8th best Crimson Tide Team in 10 years of Coach Saban. That said, they are as deep as a well, especially at RB and QB. Most of their injured LBs will be back too. And, I don't think Clemson is as good as they were for the last 2 years either. Jmo. I don't know who will win on 1/1. But, I think that given 4 weeks, Coach Saban could lead a nuclear war against China. He would beat the fat piece of trash in North Korea on a short week. ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does this question imply that you think that starting Peterman was NOT an attempt at tanking? I think that what the Giants are doing with Eli proves tanking is now a fad of sorts. Tyrod isn't so good, but Peterman was too bad for words, and probably never will be any good. Why are the Giants starting one of the worst QBs to ever play in the NFL? To win football games? McDermott cannot come out and admit that he is and has been tanking. Bills fans have already used up much of their emotional expenditures rooting for a sad, sub-par franchise. But do you think that he traded away the #10 (passing on at least 1 quality qb) and most of our top players because he was trying to win this year and have late round picks? Can anyone conceivably believe this? But you see, a funny thing happened on the way to the toilet.....the Bills were winning games. So, what to do? They started a quarterback who probably will never have any business in the NFL. If he wasn't such a disgrace, maybe they could have left him in to lose more football games and tank as planned. The Bills, with Peterman at the helm, did a good job of sucking I must say. But John, Tyrod just beat the Chiefs lol. Tyrod is a good enough qb for the Bills to win some games and possibly, in a division that is a joke, squeak their way into the playoffs. Bottom line to this post? My thing is that the Bills even suck at sucking but of course, I still love them. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Herm Edwards Hired as New HC at Arizona State
Bill from NYC replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in College Football
Do you remember just how bad he is as a coach? The Jets had to hire another coach just to manage the clock. He's a nice guy but he is a motivational speaker, NOT a football coach. He is Jauron level bad, I think worse. Perhaps a step above Kotite. If he lasts 1 season he will be lucky. Sorry. -
It was a long, but good question. The year before the Colts drafted Peyton Manning, they drafted 2 excellent tackles in rounds 1 and 2. Having Marvin Harrison was pretty cool too. Now, the league has changed and having an excellent qb would seem to be a prerequisite, given the rule changes. Given the above, it's going to be tough to draft a top qb in 2018, because the Bills somehow managed to win an unforeseen amount of games. I am generally not a fan of trading away draft picks to move up. We just got rid of a sub-par GM who believed in this. The extra picks we have came at a heavy price. We walked away from quarterbacks, one of whom looks excellent. I am hoping, as another poster stated, that we can draft a QB, OL, and DL without trading up. It would be great to do so and not throw away picks, or waste them on RBs and defensive backs. Maybe if we do so we can even reach the playoffs for a change.

Is this the worst draft class of the decade?
Bill from NYC replied to Laughing Coffin's topic in College Football
I agree and I didn't say that the talent was depleted. That would be ridiculous. It just seems to me that there were tougher teams last year, and there did seem to be more talent. Some drafts are better than others. Nothing new here. It's only my opinion but I think that last year's Washington team would also be the best in the NCAA this year. -
Agreed and he couldn't have picked better time to leave Miss. St.after what happened to Fitzgerald.
-
Yes but once again, Alabama did not lose to any garbage teams, unlike many other contenders. This is beyond dispute, no?
-
At some point I hope that you are less depressed and miserable and feel better about yourself.
-
How is Pervterno doing these days?
-
They also didn't lose to garbage teams, unlike some other contenders. You never know.
-
Actually, this is a great question. My opinion is that you get him some blocking in short order. The year before the Colts drafted Peyton Manning, they drafted LT Tarik Glenn in round 1 and RT Adam Meadows in round 2. The Bills don't do things like this but this year there are extra picks. It would be nice to see them forego the running back and defensive back positions just once in order to focus more on blocking. Do you think this is possible?

Here's our problem: Draft Rounds 1-3
Bill from NYC replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Rubes is correct. For more than 20 years the Bills have been throwing early draft picks directly down the sewer. Even this year, we passed on quarterbacks and traded down to grab a what? You guessed it, a corner. I know.....he is "good." For every so-so starter such as Bradham you can name, I can name an early pick ala Spiller that served to destroy any chance of playoff football. -
Here's our problem: Draft Rounds 1-3
Bill from NYC replied to Rubes's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
A HUGE part the problem is/was wasting draft picks (some of them top 10), on running backs and defensive backs, and neglecting the quarterback position and the offensive line. I don't see any mystery here, do you? Seriously. Good. One is getting old, the other is average and making about 2 or even 3 times what he is worth. -
Saying it now: Tyrod will have a big game.
Bill from NYC replied to ChicagoRic's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Hard for me to believe I am typing this but I too predict a win. And btw, we would get a worse draft pick with a win but the Chiefs pick we own would be better. I guess the game doesn't matter so much. -
I like our chances. Did you see the featured back for Auburn. Like Fourcette, he takes that stutter step in the backfield and waits for a hole. It works well too but he can't (imo of course) do that against the Crimson Tide. Fourcette had no success against them. I also suspect that Coach Saban will have tricks up his sleeve. I could easily be wrong but I think we can handle Auburn. ROLL TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I posted a prediction of 4 wins and worse, I was outraged when a poster said they would finish with the 15th pick in the 2018 draft. I was sure they would be in the top 5. I apologize to the poster. The Bills cannot even do a good job of losing.
-
You were FAR from alone Yolo. I would guess that many would still refer to him as a "shutdown corner" and a "good draft selection."
