KOKBILLS Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Well...No surprise here... The Bills have three games left...One against the worst team in the NFL, another vs the Dolphins who won't have their starting QB, and lastly a bottom 5 Jets team... They'll be looking to get to 9-7 so they can sell improvement...They'll be looking for Bills fans to forget the fact that so far this year they are 1-6 vs winning teams...That one win coming vs NE and their injured 3rd string QB...They'll be looking for fans to forget about Taylor choking late in games...They'll be looking for fans to forget about those two games they allowed an opposing HB to gain over 200 yds...Of course knowing Ajayi is coming to town that number could move to 3 times...They'll be hoping fans forget about Rex's predictions of a vastly improve Defense now that they know the system...They'll be counting on Bills fans turning a blind eye to the truth... Here's a 3 game memory wipe Buffalo Fans!!!...Please re-new your season tickets for 2017...
BUNCH OF MULARKEY Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 David lee to Cardale jones.... David lee to Cardale jones... Eat your pizza logs and put your helmet on...

This is Cardale Jones to David lee You've really made the grade And sully wants to know does your hair And it's time to leave the pocket, if you dare This is Cardale jones to David lee, I'm stepping out of bounds And I'm gloating in a most peculiar way And the Bills look very different today For here And I'm sitting in hotel room Full uniform on End zone looks blue, and there nothing I can do...

Uniform on..." End zone is blue, And there's nothing I can do....
HT02 Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 If TT is smart, he'll find a way to get hurt via Cleveland, and never work again. I agree 100%, first play from scrimmage take a season ending sack learn the concussion symptoms and never recover
Big Turk Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 you have got to be freaking kidding me...only good thing now is going to an embarrassing loss and a firing immediately after the game. No, we are likely going to win the last 3 games and finish 9-7...look who we are playing. Cleveland who is just plain terrible. Miami with their backup QB. Jets who are just plain terrible. If you hand to handicap the Bills record over the 3 games, the overwhleming favorite would be 3-0
apuszczalowski Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 For those who want them to just lose the next 3 for a better draft pick, is it really going to matter? With 6 wins and a bunch of teams that are already ahead of them for the #1 spot that they can't catch, what the best they could draft at with 6 wins compared to 9 wins? Drafting between 6th and mid teens? With their roster needs and those draft spots, it's not like drafting a couple of spots sooner would make that much of a difference u less there is someone they really badly want. The only advantage to losing more games is hoping that it puts the final nails in Rex's coffin

The only advantage to losing more games is hoping that it puts the final nails in Rex's coffin You gain spots in each round, not just the first. If the difference between winning and losing the last 3 amounts to 6-8 draft positions you could very well trade back in the 1st and get a nice 2nd or 3rd or combination of picks.
apuszczalowski Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 I understand how the draft works, but there's no guarantee that I'd your 6th or 16th that there is going to be a player there you have to have, or someone looking to trade up. In later rounds the difference between 38 and 45 isn't going to be a huge difference either.

In later rounds the difference between 38 and 45 isn't going to be a huge difference either. So if your 6th and trade back to the 16th slot where the player you want is going to be available you will also accumulate an additional 2nd round pick. Is that worth it? Then remember your moving up 10 slots each round because you lost those meaningless games.
ndirish1978 Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 No, it's the super smart fan base that says if TT gets hurt in one of these 3 MEANINGLESS games, he hamstrings our cap next year. Or are you saying you are 100% certain you want TT to be the starter next year, and 100% the Bills should exercise the option. Cause that's what you are doing if he gets hurt. And lets not forget, the same guy you quote as saying Jones to raw, also said this week he is not ready to commit to TT as the starter. So can't have it both ways. Is this true? Do we take a cap hit?
Boatdrinks Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Imagine that, LaCanfora reports something that causes a big stir but turns out to be false. This is certainly the first time Ive ever hesrd of this haooening. I think the story said " could be fired as soon as tomorrow " if the Bills lost to the Sreelers. Not exactly like saying Ryan WILL be fired if....
CommonCents Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Is this true? Do we take a cap hit? If the guarantee is in the contract I would find it hard to believe the insurance would negate the cap hit.
Agent 91 Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Not true, and a horrible take. I'm sick of seeing this same exact bullcrap argument posted. He's not good. He's marginally better than the other options at best. It's time to move on. No doubt. Taylor will finally throw for 300 yards against the winless Browns at home and I'm going to have to sit here and read all about it for an entire offseason. He will put the team on his back. And finally win while throwing over 30 times
apuszczalowski Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 If the guarantee is in the contract I would find it hard to believe the insurance would negate the cap hit.Yup, the I durance will o ly help TP with paying him the actual cash. If his option is picked up because the contract has a clause in it, then the bills would be on the hook cap wise no matter if an insurance company paid him or TP took the money out of his wallet himself. As for the exact quote on what LaCanfora said, it's how these guys work today. Give a tantalizing juicy piece of gossip to get the masses excited, but include some wording in it to make sure there's always an out.
sullim4 Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 I do believe the Pegulas have decided to clean house... they're not stupid and I agree with another poster on this thread that the "silence is deafening". I am a little surprised that they aren't vetoing this move given the implications that a TT injury have on the future of the franchise. That said, given how Ralph caught so much crap for meddling with the quarterback position, maybe they are thinking the better of it. I actually think Rex would have been axed today had someone been on the coaching staff that could have acted as interim defensive coordinator. The entire defensive staff is filled with Rex's cronies - if they fire Rex, they have to fire Rob. Given Thurman's close relationship with Rex, would they fire him too? Or would he refuse to work? Ed Reed is probably in the same boat. You can't lose half your defensive coaching staff with 3 games left in the season, even if the remaining three games are completely meaningless.
reddogblitz Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Where does this injury clause come from? Is there any proof to this? Or is it like the news yesterday that Rex would be fired today? Serious question. I've seen it all over here and a couple of callers on WGR. Where did it come from?

This is the kind of decision that really pisses me off. This is the perfect opportunity to see what Cardale can do. The kid won a national championship in college. He seems like a winner to me when I see him play.
BADOLBILZ Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 TT being the best QB on the roster is the DISCOURAGING part. It's SHAMEFUL that these QBs have not been able to develop into COMPETENT NFL players. It doesn't give me a lot of hope for Cardale Jones. The Bills......and the vast majority of their fans.....immediately assume they've found a QB every time one strings a few nice games together and they start focusing on filling every other hole on the team. If you want to become a winning franchise you always have to be actively trying to make your QB situation better. Having a franchise QB doesn't assure you a good season........but you WILL NOT sustain consistent success for any significant period of time without one.

THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GO WITH JONES RIGHT NOW, THEY BELIEVE HE IS STILL TOO RAW, HE WAS DRAFTED AS A LONGER TERM PROJECT AND THE BILLS STAFF/FRONT OFFICE KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE IN HIM RIGHT NOW
reddogblitz Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GO WITH JONES RIGHT NOW, THEY BELIEVE HE IS STILL TOO RAW, HE WAS DRAFTED AS A LONGER TERM PROJECT AND THE BILLS STAFF/FRONT OFFICE KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE IN HIM RIGHT NOW Yeah, I think the coaches who work with him every day have a good idea on what he can and cannot do which is why he's not playing.
offyourocker Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Yeah because players never surprise coaches. Like Dak Prescott. Or like Brown and Alexander in our case. I know the guy is raw. He was also not ready and the third string qb in college yet he ended up winning the national championship defeating Alabama which are the patriots of college football. So please spare me the he is raw speech. What is there to lose?
