WildCard Posted April 8, 2014 Author Report Posted April 8, 2014 There's also a report that the Packers game will be a MNF game in Buffalo. If there's a year for the Bills to finally crack the playoffs, it'd be this season. The story lines line up incredibly
Taro T Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 As if Thanksgiving couldn't get any better, the Bills will reportedly play vs. the Lions on Thanksgiving day :D http://bleacherrepor...s-detroit-lions It makes sense. W/ Schwartz coming over to the Bills there are better story lines for that game than the Fish-Lions.
dEnnis the Menace Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 Was talking about wide receiver. And Rogers wasn't fifth. Rogers was one of the top three, which was the issue. Obviously you'd prefer to go five-deep at receiver or any position in today's NFL, but in THIS case I don't think the Bills should be extremely worried about going that deep at WR. Graham can be gone either way. Rogers was 5th technically, but since McKelvin, Brooks and Gilmore went down, and Robey couldn't handle the outside, Rogers and Williams were the starters...that's 5/6.
qwksndmonster Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 The last time the Bills played on Thanksgiving was in 1994 on my first birthday. 20 years and 3 days later, they're playing on Thanksgiving again.
TrueBlueGED Posted April 9, 2014 Report Posted April 9, 2014 Hall of Fame game, Thanksgiving, and Monday Night all in the same season? It's like the NFL knew Ralph was going to die or something.

That Aud Smell Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 I agree with the sentiments above. I do think the Bills are pushing a 50-50 shot at the playoffs this year. Things have to break their way (when is that not the case for any team?), but they have more than a decent chance to sneak in there. It's the NFL, folks -- the league is designed to have teams cycling through the playoffs.
inkman Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 I don't know how to trick my brain into optimism for the Bills.
Claude_Verret Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 I'll go to the Panthers pre-season game, just because it's a good excuse to shoot over to Charlotte for a weekend and I'll also be at the home opener as well as it's an excuse to pub crawl the night before with all my old WNY friends. The Bills will not make the playoffs and I'll refuse to believe that they will until that last second ticks off the clock in a playoff clinching Bills win. The comical futility has just gone on for far too long for me to have even a smidgen of faith that a season can turn out well for the Bills.
Drunkard Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 I don't get the playoff optimism. Every year I hope for the playoffs but every year we're bad to just on the bad side of mediocre. At this point I'd be happy with solid improvement. Give me 8-8 this year and I'll be happy. As always it will hinge on the performance of our QB.
Claude_Verret Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 New stadium in Niagara Falls? http://pro32.ap.org/article/apnewsbreak-niagara-falls-possible-home-bills
Campy Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 I don't know how to trick my brain into optimism for the Bills. I've found that alcohol helps.
MattPie Posted April 10, 2014 Report Posted April 10, 2014 New stadium in Niagara Falls? http://pro32.ap.org/...ible-home-bills Interesting, although down around the Skyway isn't exactly far from the Peace Bridge, and could tie into F'N/Harborcenter with shared parking and amenities.

ubkev Posted April 11, 2014 Report Posted April 11, 2014 What's the point of posting this? What was the point of the article in general. I'm willing to bet 10 bucks that at least one of the seven qbs he likes better than EJ wont start more than 5 games in the NFL. Crap article.
TrueBlueGED Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) Pet peeve: failed executives/coaches being treated as valuable analysts. That's not to say their opinions should be completely invalidated forever, but they should certainly be discounted. Edited April 12, 2014 by TrueBluePhD
Hoss Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 What was the point of the article in general. I'm willing to bet 10 bucks that at least one of the seven qbs he likes better than EJ wont start more than 5 games in the NFL. Crap article. The point of the article is to say that the number one QB last year doesn't compare to this class. EJ would likely be a fifth rounder in this draft. Pet peeve: failed executives/coaches being treated as valuable analysts. That's not to say their opinions should be completely invalidated forever, but they should certainly be discounted. Todd McShay is the perfect example of this. Such an idiot.
deluca67 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 New stadium in Niagara Falls? http://pro32.ap.org/...ible-home-bills The Bills have a lease with Erie County. If the Bills play in a new stadium it will be in Erie County. http://www.nfl.com/n...ad-of-ej-manuel Nothing outrageous or shocking here. There were many who thought last years draft was not a strong one for the QB position. There should be no shock if one the QB's listed in the article ends up being drafted by the Bills at some point.
kishoph Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 http://www.nfl.com/n...ad-of-ej-manuel Charley Casserly knows QB's, he's the GM that grabbed Heath Shuler with the #3 pick and years later made David Carr the #1 pick overall.
wjag Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 Musing that CJ2K could end up a Patriot. He is just the type of player that the Patriots pick up
Eleven Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 The Bills have a lease with Erie County. If the Bills play in a new stadium it will be in Erie County. The article is talking about where they will play after the lease runs.
MILFHUNTER#518 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Posted April 12, 2014 Nfl network has a special on the AFC east, had a segment on every team EXCEPT THE BILLS. The only mention was the bimbo in the short skirt saying the only way they would ever not finish last is if they moved to LA, and to talk about how much they suck (for about 1 minute, along with two other reporters in the dolphins and jets press rooms and a pats reporter.) Then, for the last 20 minutes of the hour (no, they didnt run out of time) instead of talking about the Bills, the only team they left out of this entire segment on the AFC east, they decide to talk about the cowboys kicker going for a f***ing ride with the blue angels during the offseason. Unbelievable
