Paup 1995MVP

A shopping cart with no wheels. Never was overly impressed by his game. Would have been better when the game was much more run oriented and physical. (I seriously miss grind it out smash mouth football) The game at times, more college than pros almost has a feel of flag football. Boo on that!

Kevin Hogan is solid, but Jake Rudock from Michigan is Hogan 2.0 with a stronger arm. NOONE is giving Rudock any love. But I will say it again and again as a huge Wolverine fan. The guy has game. He is smart, tough and a leader. And has decent mobility. He had one bad game for the Maize and Blue last year (opener against Utah. And even in that game, he kept firing) After that he was as good as any QB in the country. And we did not have great receivers or much of a running game around him. Give him a year or two to learn and develop, and I can see him starting and doing well in the NFL. He is not a big man. But neither is Drew Brees. 6th round for Rudock. And he could be a steal. GO BLUE!! You all don't believe me, go back and watch his hilites from last year. And maybe ask the Florida Gators including Vernon Hargreaves what they think of my boy Jake.

Individual corners are way over valued. The way offenses are today, you need a solid secondary collectively. You can do quite well with a bunch of above average to good corners and safety's. Having one supposed "shut down" corner, and the rest of your secondary is mediocre at best is a complete waste. With 3 and 4 receiver sets being the norm for a lot of teams, all a QB has to do is stay away from that one great corner, and that offense is not going to miss a beat. So paying a guy like Josh Norman 14+ million is absolutely ridiculous. I hope the Bills don't overpay to keep Gilmore. We can find two very good corners for 5-6 million each, than paying one guy 12+ million. Remember all, it is a TEAM game!! One player (except an elite QB) will not make that much of a difference.

What makes you the expert on where our players should be playing in Rex's scheme? Everyone on this board thinks they know everything about NFL schemes. I am sure Rex and his coaches know what's up. Why don't you sit back and enjoy the NBA and NHL playoffs, get excited for the draft and let the coaches do what they do best without stressing out about who is going to play outside Linebacker for us in the fall? Just makes life that much simpler.

The guy is TERRIBLE! Put on the worst playoff quarterbacking display in last years playoff game against the Chiefs this side of Jake Delomme's 5 interception debacle against the Cardinals several years ago for the Panthers. It is a joke that he is in the league still. Makes EJ look quite respectable.

Maybe try staying at a real hotel for a change-One where you don't drive your car right up to the front door of the room. And where you are less likely to be mugged in the parking lot....Just saying.

The Jets went as far as they could go with Fitz last year. Fitz is not getting them over the 10 win mark. He just does not have that much upside. Teams will start doubling Brandon Marshall and they will be lucky to hit 8-8.

The dude is overrated. He had DeMarcus Ware on the other side the past two seasons. That will end soon. He will be just another "guy" soon enuf. A lot of you just get so excited over any one particular player. Short of Tom Brady no one particular player is ever that dominant in the NFL for any length of time. With 22 players on the field, the game is not set up that way. The Panthers O line was garbage in the Super Bowl. Put Von up against a solid OT and he will be stoned. Just never overly excited about his game.

Stop performing verbal felacio on Hardy. Are you his frikin agent? If the chick was such a psycho, why was he hanging out with her in the first place?? The thing about Greg Hardy is that he aint that great of a player. The guy gets 11 sacks in a season and he is talked about as the next coming of Bruce Smith.

Playing in the AFC North is going to be brutal for RGlll. The guy is as fragile as the day is long. Without a strong O line, the Bengals, Ravens and Steelers will eat him up. His troubles all started late in the 2012 season when he was leg whipped by Haloti Nata of the Ravens. Never been the same since. It will make for an interesting story to see if he has any game left. But the Browns......Ugh! They have been so bad.

I would move it back another 5 yards, making it a 38 yard field goal. There would obviously be more misses-making the game more exciting. And it would also make teams at least think harder about going for the two pointer, when weighing the longer extra point. Another issue that gets overlooked by many is when the kickoff was moved forward to the 35 yard line. Awful rule. Ruined an exciting part of the game. It should be at least back at the 30, bringing the kickoff return back into play. Football is a collision sport. Taking that out of the game is sinful by Goodell and company. Thoughts?

All their wheeling and dealing is fine. But they win because they have one of the top 3 QB's (if not the best) of all time. And one of the best head coaches of all time. The rest of their roster is always decent, but not always great. I think overall it was better early in their 15 year run with the likes of Bruschi, McGinnest, Seymour, Moss, Troy Brown, et al. Now of course they have Gronkowski-who all time great. Hightower, Collins, Edelman are very good. And the rest kind of all know their roles. But are not spectacular. But what sets them apart is how they go about their business. The "Patriot Way" is always for the good of the team. They do not keep problem players around. They do not tolerate guys w off the field issues. They do not tolerate guys who play half heartedly on the field. They do not tolerate complainers in the locker room. Its the Patriots way or the highway. The team is always bigger than any one player. Unless their name is Tom Brady. But even he is a team guy who only cares about winning. Guys like Mario Williams, Pac Man Jones, Vontez Berfict have no place in Foxboro. The Patriots, Detroit Red Wings and the St Louis Cardinals are the three best organizations in professional sports. Anyone beg to differ? But regardless, lets kick the Pats ass this year for a change. No talk Rex. Just action.

You can't have this group of receivers. Sammy is the only one over 6 feet tall, and he is all of 6'1. We need some size at the position. That's why we brought in Salas, Little and Boykin. We are not keeping Goodwin, Kerley and Harvin. I say we sign Kerley. Goodwin and Harvin are perpetually injured. It is fine to have one small quick slot receiver. And Curley would fit that role well. Better than Hogan in my estimation. But the NFL is a big man's passing game for the most part. And we need some size at WR if we want to improve our passing game.

Why would he not want to play for us? Most guys love playing for Rex. (except Mario Williams. LOL)

Salas looked better than Hogan in the last two games of the season. And Little and Boykin have way more upside than Hogan. Hogan's catching a ball near the first down marker and not falling forward, but rather circling backwards to try and get more yardage-only to be stopped short of the first down every time was maddening. Come training camp is anyone on this board going to even remember Chris Hogan? Seriously, he had three big plays for us. The catch against the Vikings in 2014, and the two catches against Tennessee on the winning drive last season. Other than that, what am I missing?

Paul Krause-one of the all time leaders in interceptions. Played for the Vikings in the 60's and 70's. Bang.

dopeland I don't know if Hogan is a douche. But I am in agreement on your other two assessments. His girlfriend was hot on Hard Knocks when he played for the Dolphins.

I hope Kaepernick goes to the Jets. He blows. We will eat him up. I hope he goes to any team in the AFC. Because that will help us with wild card positioning. But we should draft Braxton Miller in the 2nd round, doubt he makes it to the 3rd round. If we have already picked in the 2nd round, I would trade back up from the third round (giving up a pick next year if possible) to get him. He is a healthier younger version of Percy Harvin. How many of you would like him as our slot guy instead of 7-11?

Chris Hogan is a marginal talent at best. We can do much better than him at WR. Sure he will catch some balls from Brady. (everyone does) But he is certainly not a game changer/difference maker. I am sure we will let him walk if NE makes him a decent offer. We have much bigger needs to think about than keeping Chris Hogan.

Lovie is going to get wiped in the Big 10. He was way overrated as an NFL coach. And I don't see what he will bring to a college program. Had to have been one of the most underwhelming head coaches I have ever seen on an NFL sideline. Good luck playing Nebraska, Wisconsin, Northwestern and Iowa every year. And than crossing over to play Ohio State, Michigan State and Michigan every couple of years. Yikes. The Illini haven't been relevant since the days of Jack Trudeau and Jeff George. And that's a long time ago.

Perfectly said. Fitz is a professional QB who can make things happen a lot of the time. BUT when it comes down to crunch time he just can't get it done more often than not. Perfect examples were the loss to the Giants in Met Life Stadium when we started out 5-1 in 2011. He underthrew Stevie J twice (once in the end zone) when he was open for just brutal interceptions. That game sent the team spiraling downhill. A loss in KC where we had numerous chances to win and he threw a flutter ball straight up in the air around midfield that was picked, and the Chiefs than kicked the winning FG in OT. And of course the 4th qtr meltdown against us in the last game. Bad way to end the year. He will get a job. But is he going to lead your team deep in the playoffs? No way.

Every time a current Bill is let go or not resigned, many of you on this board lament to the nth degree how the sky is falling. The vitriol for the front office when Jairus Byrd was not resigned was off the charts. Well two years later, how is that working for the Saints? They had the worst Defense in the league last year-historically poor. Their secondary gave up the most TD passes in one season in league history. And Byrd (when he was healthy) was a big part of it. As for Mario, his play was at best disinterested last year. At worst horrible and completely ineffective. Players making 20 mill per season are supposed to DOMINATE! Did not see that out of him last year. Or ever on a consistent basis. We will probably go DE in the first two rounds. And possibly sign a DE in free agency at a much better valued price. He gave us some good games. But how many playoff appearances did we make with him? We can improve the D with much better fits at much better prices. And no, Nigel Bradham is not one of those fits either. We are franchising Cordy-which is a good thing. Lets get Richie signed, and draft a right tackle in the first round. (Take Conklin if he is on the board, if not take Treadwell from Ole Miss) If neither is there, go with the best front 7 player still on the board. Get a few reasonably priced free agents for the D. And get the big RT and a big WR to play opposite Sammy. If Tyrod improves some, we will be a strong contender.

The NFL game for a Running Back is speed explosiveness and shiftiness. At this point Fred has none of that. He was a great player and leader in his heyday. That day is long gone. Can we give it a rest and move forward? There are so many good young RB's available every year. And we are doing a great job to finding them. How about giving it up for Mike Gillislee?

Why is it good news that the Bills will not have a new stadium anytime soon? This is 2016. The Ralph opened in 1973. That is a LONG TIME ago. After San Diego and Oakland either get new stadiums or move, the Ralph will be the oldest stadium in the league. (Kansas City, Chicago and Green Bay have made major renovations) Why is that anything to be proud of? Everyone seems to be so caught up in all the tailgating. I haven't lived in Buffalo for years, but have been back for my share of games, and have enjoyed the tailgating. But do you not think that the fans party it up in every other city in America that has football, both pro and college? Of course they do. And there will be partying at any new stadium that is built as well. But seriously a lot of you sound like the tailgating is as important if not more important to whether we win or not. Have any of you been to Met Life Stadium in New Jersey? Take the Path train from Penn Station out to the New Jersey's swamps. The Giants fans are just as passionate chanting on the trains heading to the game. Partying in a huge wind swept parking lot is not one step from Nirvana. I can get my partying at a lot of other places other than a football stadium parking lot. I just want a winner on the field. And a shiny new toy in the form of a new stadium would be a nice complement. Atlanta opened the Georgia Dome in 1992, and have a new stadium set to open for the 2017 season. It may not be Englewood, but it will be sweet nonetheless. Progress is exciting. Why should we be the dregs of the NFL? Our team hasn't made the playoffs in 16 seasons, and we also have a stadium from another era. It isn't a bad place to watch a game. But to be happy that we will not have a new stadium for up to another decade makes no sense whatsoever. Are many of you going to stay in an old run down house, just because you have a nice deck to have BBQ's on for three months of the year??? I didn't think so. So wake up people of Western New York the millenium known as the 21st century started a long time ago. And it would behoove a lot of you to get a grander picture of where the world is going. Maybe when you watch games from Minnesota and Atlanta's new facilities in the upcoming seasons you might feel differently.

The Bills need to draft Jake Rudock from Michigan in the 4th or 5th round. Did everyone watch him torch the Gators in the Wild Wings bowl? He is smart mobile and accurate. Not a big specimen. But the guy is a leader, doesn't get rattled, and will only get better in the pros. I may be a little biased being a huge Wolverines fan. However, he can play. I would love him on our roster.
