Bro my bills being trash has made me dislike football.

i was in highschool when we last made the playoffs and im 31:beli:



i blame the front office on never gambling on selecting a qb in the first round for so many years and what they did to flutie still bothers me.



im sure not drafting russel wilson will burn my soul for the next 10 years or so.


team is cheap as fukk too, i remember when we use to own the afc east and we held all the records there, now the Patriots do.

with that being siad, our current team is nothing special... ive seen this movie before.
What they did to Flutie was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen in professional sports. They will be cursed for 50+ years because of that like the curse of Bobby Layne with the Lions. :upsetfavre:

I wouldn't cut Chandler, he had some big drops and of course the fumble but he caught over 50 balls with a carousel of inexperienced QBs.
I wouldn't mind them drafting another though. I also wouldn't be against bringing in a thumper of a MLB and moving Kiko outside. I think the issue
with the run D is the LB core not the DL

Graham need to go though

:wow: Bless your soul. I think there's some point where you just get a pass and can cheer for a new team.

Id be damned if I go 14 years w/o seeing a playoff appearance and still fukk with a team, fukk THAT.

I would cut Chandler for the simple fact that he and Stevie are Gailey era players, need to start anew, both are decent, but aren't clutch performers, so :camby:

I agree with your drafting a LB and cutting Graham, still can't believe we picked him over Wilson :snoop:

I'm starting to question Marrone, he said that Special Teams sucked because of lack of talent and not crappy coaching from Crossman. Bills went from 9th in 2012 to 30th in 2013. No coincidence and Crossman's Detroit units were terrible. McKelvin didn't have a single run return this season. Hackett is also way too inexperienced to run an NFL offense, he needs a experienced person to help him out at least. If the Bills don't signicantly improve their record next season, then I think Marrone gets the axe

yea I was never thrilled with Hackett as OC. With a better redzone O we win 2 or 3 more games at this year, that's where I think a mauler at LG and a big WR/TE come in. As far as Manuel...I don't know.
I think I'd bring in a vet and make him earn the starting role in camp. They gotta get Byrd done first though

I think Thad is a solid backup, I don't see any good backups available in FA. Idk about Byrd, I have a bad feeling that they either trade him or let him walk

:to: :to: :to: :to: fukk brehs, our defense is about to be :trash: again, Byrd is probably gonna join him there too. Marrone and his horrible picked staff are about put us in the Jameis sweepstakes if EJ doesn't improve dramatically.

Manuel sucks

Seeing what jameis did what the exact same roster basically made me realize we screwed up.

The Manuel pick will set us back another 3-4 years.

Why did we get rid of posluzny and donte whitner?

It was like starting matt Flynn over Russell Wilson


Man I remember when a 10-6 session was a cause for concern.

The bills are a joke.

Now I see why they didn't hire lovie, to cheap so they get a bottom of the barrel college coach with ties to the community .

In this offense orientated NFL , bills would be stupid to let Byrd go.

Look at Seattle with chancellor and earl Thomas, San Fran with Eric Reid and whitner.

You need excellent safeties in this NFL or your toast

I know breh, but Bills aren't gonna pay him more $8 million a year and he wants top safety money. Dareus and Spiller contracts are expiring soon and they might want to retain those two instead of Byrd
