Búfalo Blanco

OK, finally getting in on this. Love the pick... seems like a perfect fit for Mickey D's D.... And as far as his personality goes... fine by me. Buffalo needs more fire on defense. High maintenance..? If he blows up Tom Brady a few times this year, give the man weekly diamond level pedicures and custom peeled grapes for all I care. He'll need those custom fitted coats at New Era in December. Roll out the red carpet, Terry!!! Let's go D!!!!! #1 this year, yo!!!

I mean, I had a good feeling what he spoiled was going to happen anyway... but still...

??? I saw this thread and was actively avoiding it... and somehow still mistakenly came across the Tweet. FML Give him the Ray Rice treatment, Roger!!!!

T master's mugshot...

This

Can I see Mickey D go on a Bill Burr rant during post game please?!?! Fine, upstanding team leader... and his evil, Cheatriot loving twin brother.

Bills fans are fragile, House.. very fragile...

I believe he's worked at every position along the OL as well... So, if they switch him back to the line, he may be good depth along with the occasional H-back play. Could be a good, versatile signing.

There's a new sheriff in the league... and he doesn't give AF... Eat your heart out, Tyrann...

The mainstream sports media be like:

Just having fun with this, guys... Yeah, it's a bit frustrating, particularly with the constant jokes and disrespect about the Bills. I'm liking Beane's tenacity though.. I should have added the Judas Cradle as an option, actually... that would've brought some of you around, I think.

Maybe during a December home game at halftime? In a blizzard?

???? Oh man... Oh, I just can’t... Ok, forget anything that was said about Polian, eh? Yeah, you’re absolutely right... Elway has not drafted the next Tom Brady... therefore, he absolutely sucks as a GM. Forget the SB win... he’s horrible. Fluke.. You got me, man. Flacco is a disgrace... complete luck that he got a ring. It was all Ray Lewis...

Comparing Polian to Elway was not my argument... I was referring to you and your "facts". Elway has a been quite successful in Denver as GM. Since 2011, he has four division titles, two AFC Championships, two Super Bowl appearances and one Lombardi trophy. In trading for Flacco, not only is he not giving up much (assuming it's just a 4th rd pick) or paying anything in guarantees... he's also following the same model he did in 2015, which won the Super Bowl. Bring in a game managing, efficient and experienced QB to go along with a very good defense and good running game. If he adds to that defense in the offseason, like he did before and works on his offensive line through FA and the draft, Denver could contend again. In 8 seasons as GM, he has done more for the Broncos than anyone has for our favorite franchise...

A fact...? Alright Bill Polian... I guess Elway has nothing on your expertise.

I'm saying he has been a very good QB over his entire career and has the experience of beating great teams, on the road when it mattered. Elway isn't looking for Mahomes... He's looking for a good game manager with experience. Flacco has proven to be that and be efficient. That's what he did in Baltimore and that's the philosophy Denver won a championship with in 2015. So, good match.

Wow... there's an argument. Namath eh? Didn't realize Flacco was in his 70s... Talk about false comparisons...

Let me ask you this... The Broncos have to pay him NO guaranteed money (assuming there's no new negotiations) and have allegedly given up only a 4th rd pick. With a thin QB draft class and a Broncos team that (as I explained) would rather win now, while they still have some great veterans... where's the risk? Free agency doesn't look so great for QB options...

Oh, I've got a clue... and just explained what I believe Elway's strategy is... I can trade stats with you all day... that can be skewed for any argument. The fact is, he's a former SB MVP who has beaten the Patriots dynasty twice in Foxboro in the playoffs... I believe Mark Sanchez is the only other QB who can claim that. He can win under pressure. That's the bottom line. Again, a bunch of Bills fans railing on a SB MVP QB... hilarious...

Hey, when you see the big picture it's not that hard. But, you'd have to put yourself in Elway's shoes... He hires a defensive guru in Fangio as HC (30+ years in the league, top scoring D in CHI last season), already has some top defensive playmakers and an aging, veteran team. Drafting and developing a QB now is not a good decision currently for Denver, unlike say Buffalo. Bring in a great game manager, play great, aggressive defense and an above average running game. Balance... same sort of roster framework as when they won it all in 2015. Flacco has been fine... but he's a top game manager on a historically great defensive team. Super Bowl champs win with balance... not just a QB throwing 50 TDs. But you're a "what have you done for me this milisecond" sort of dude... so relating to Denver re-creating their 2015 model must be like the 1950s for you.

When's the last time our team did that...? 7 years ago...? Might as well be 60 here. Nobody would be complaining with his record in Buffalo. Yeah, seven years ago was sooooo 18th century... talk about a short attention span.

This from a Bills fan. We'd all trade Marv Levy's sack for Flacco's SB ring. Nice little bonus... He's beaten Brady/Belichick twice at Gillette in the postseason.

Nice post... and it's fun to dream. But this happens every offseason. "The Pats are finally done!" "They're in decline!" "Brady can't hold up next year!" And then they do it again. Until Brady/Belichick retire, it's going to be a tall order. I'm not saying it's impossible (all us Bills fans are dreamers), and I like KC and Indy... possibly Cleveland. I'll reserve judgement on our favorite team until after free agency and the draft. But, the Patriots aren't going away.

Oh, now you admit it...
