For all the good points you make, your conversational skills suck. You just can't stay on point. I was contradicting two points you stated as fact; 1) That only a Bills' fan thinks they can win 2) That the Bears defense will be much improved. I have no idea if the Bears will be clearly the superior team and besides, that was my last point. Week one can be the least indicative week of the way the season will go.
-
Haven't seen one other credible report that believes this to be true. Have heard two Chicago beat reporters today and both called the game a tossup and both talk about how bad the Bear's defense is. The first week of the season is often the least indicative of how the season will go so no, you don't have to be a Bills' fan to believe they have a chance.
-
And how about a little more hmmm. Check out FSU 'a record the 4 or. 5 years prior to EJ . If one were so inclined, they could argue that EJ was a catalyst in their return to super power status and not a mere passenger
-
And Tennessee won it the year after Peyton left with Tee Martin. Not so much hmmm
-
Mike Pettine is going to go down as the most over rated coordinator in the history of the NFL. Just needed to say that.
-
He was terrible during games . He a apparently was great in practice but for some reason couldn't do same during games
-
Did I screw up? Was it Free's wife who got the book from her friends? Some reason I always confuse you two.
-
Now why do you have to go and bring in Shrader's new sex life into the equation?
-
So you believe what the Falcons gave up to get Julio Jones to be beyond unethical , I assume. Unethical or incompetent are not the only choices. Just simple not agreeing with your value chart is the simplest answer. And my final word on subject is that I also don't buy into the argument that the gamble pays off only if EJ is the answer.
-
Sorry if I went a little far but I take unsubstantiated accusations pretty seriously. Your last statement wasn't what I considered ridiculous or beneath you. In fact, I'm not even sure you are wrong but questioning the ethics of two people based on nothing but your opinion should be beneath everyone.
-
That's just plain ridiculous. Even in a sports world where analytics have taken root, there are no absolutes and for you to blatantly question their ethics based on your belief of a value system is beneath you.
-
So you are basically accusing them of trying to improve their team and if it doesn't work it will mean they unethically made a move contrary to the best interest of the franchise.
-
I think this whole narrative is a bunch of crap. The safe thing for Whaley and Marrone to do was to do nothing and then pull a Reiger and blame their failures on everyone else in the organization. Trading the number one pick next year was the riskiest thing they could have done and in my mind anyway, was not an act of desparation, but rather an act of conviction. Conviction in the caliber of athlete Watkins is and conviction in what they have in Manuel. They may turn out to be wrong but to accuse them of acting in a way contrary to the best interest of the franchise is at the least, irresponsible.
-
Good point.
-
If we are talking dream scenarios, St Louis revolts against Hitchcock as Dallas and Philly did before and just misses playoffs while Buffalo and Islanders finish 29th and 30th. St. Louis wins lottery and Buffalo picks 1,2 and 3. It's not going to happen, but if you are going to dre, dream big.
-
You may be right or then again , Whaley might turn out to be as good as another nobody Ralph hired by the name of Bill Polian. It's hard to argue against your conclusion given past history but this team is in a lot better shape then you are giving them credit for . I don't put a lot of stock in national opinions but John Clayton isn't the only one that thinks that other then QB, this team is as deep and as talented as the Pats. On top of that, it can only be a matter of time before the cold , hard way NE treats their veterans not named Brady catches up to them. Right now you have history on your side. I think the future will surprise you.
-
They will be cutting Mallett and reached for Jimmy G . The point I was making is several teams are an injury away from their season being over.
-
You are being emotional again. While I wish they had brought in a viable veteran back up, it's more indicative of quarterbacking in this league. New England is preparing to go into the season with jimmy garapolo(sic) as their back up! You look at the Bills ' schedule, and I see 7 games were the starter is head and shoulders above EJ.
-
So in your opinion , their defense should be historically bad and their QB situation is one of worst in recent memory. Let's wager , you get under 2.5 wins, I get over.

Front office positions are just exploding. Some teams have 4 or more assistant GM's. There is no way to know the structure of each team's hierarchy unless the team lays it out and they have no reason to. -
Cloutier, McCourt, Cyr, Lacombe all rank up there but I would have to go with Jacques Richard While I wouldn't put him at the top, I do agree that he could have been even better. The feeling from the outside was that he just didn't want to be the best when he could have been.

Do u think Buffalo has any interest in Kevin Hayes

This may be an example of where the Harbor Center may pay dividends in the future and the Sabres are in mix for players like this. On the other hand, few of these College free agents live up to the hype -
One thing I learned through my 54 years, you don't qualify someone's success. He has sold hope thorough an outrageous, by NFL standards, playoff drought. In addition, simplicity can, in itself, by genius and anyone that's been through some of America's biggest corporations will tell you, common sense is by no means a given.

A) I would disagree that Toronto was a complete failure. It infused the organization with a tremendous amount of cash and I think this last year was the only year it hurt the team from a competition stand point. B) It was only one regular season game per year C) I think Brandon has earned the right to be a big part of the decision making process up to and including picking the person to lead the football department. This is big business and while the acting GM thing didn't work out, he had worked his way to the top and pretty quickly and successfully

I have no issue with him being President. I would assume that someone may be hired to be Vice President in charge of football if they determine Whaley isn't ready for that.
