Every Wednesday the waitress and I bring in either a side or a main dish rather than eating the same old bs.

Tops had the meat on sale for basically half off.

Did you see CJ Spiller on NFL network? He found out on the air! It was classic.

Been seeing that a lot lately. Funny how that works. Social media is 20x faster than phone calls.

His reaction was perfect. Something to the effect of "Chip Kelly has my number"

That's awesome...I work in a govt' office, so we don't have that type of camaraderie.

So he's 1 year older than Spiller...and I think he's had just a bit better production in the last 4 years.
- Whatnot78


Sure, but he's wasn't the same player that he was last year, and he's going to an even worse line. I know we're planning on upgrading the line, but nothings a guarantee.

I'm not trying to be offensive at all, but please do a little research regarding both players and local and national media opinions of the trade. I think you will change your mind.
- TheSabresTaco


It's all about the #LegendofKikoAlonso that has most people upset over this.

I don't think anyone has given a BJ for a McCoy jersey...

But in all seriousness its a good trade for both teams if Kiko stays healthy. The Bills have a logjam at LB now.

Right now I would say the Bills win this trade now

don't agree with that...philly's line was terrible.

Also, Incognito improves the line already, despite the baggage that came with him.

Yeah you know one that has had 2 major knee injuries...

Talk about long term investment there...

Also Nigel Bradham and Preston Brown say hello...you know the two LB's that played on a top 5 D something Kiko couldn't say.

Also that $10 million RB is the best RB in the game...Kiko is not the best LB in the game

Also Kiko is good but he is overrated by a lot of people in Buffalo. He had 6 great games and came back down to earth the rest of the season when teams had film on him.

- Stripes77


All great points But we ran a traditional 4-3 last season, so the Brown, Bradham, and Spikes combo worked fine. Under Rex, we'll be going back to a hyrbid scheme which will include plenty of 3-4 packages. There was also reports that Kiko was going to be moved to the outside, where his athleticism could be used better, and he wouldn't be relied on to stop the run so much.

McCoy is one of the best in the game for sure, but for how long? And he's going to running behind worse line than Philadelphia's.

To Kiko's knee injury - yep it's always a concern, but it's never a concern until it becomes one. We drafted him knowing he had knee issues and he played every snap. Some guys can bounce back like that. Not everyone, but it's not unheard of.

Not true and not true. The first 4 games of the season they had the best lineman out, after that they had several people in and out with injuries. Also the 2nd half of the season when the line got healthier McCoy put up the 2nd best numbers.

Are line will be better than his was for most of the year last year. We aren't done yet either. Rex wants a good run game. He is going to ask for the best line you can get via free agency/trade/draft.

McCoy had a rough first 4 games when his left tackle was suspended...

The Bills O-Line and Philly's is pretty comparable right now with the addition of Incognito

I don't think the Bills go into the season with an "all-in" attitude without "SIGNIFICANTLY", as quoted by Whaley, improve the OL

For one season...then missed all of the next...

I have seen "reports" that the Bills already have someone else on their radar for the LB position

That's what happens when you make public claims that he (Spiller) wants to get $$$$$ Bank in Free Agency and that Ball was in Bills court ... Whaley/Rex just punted on Spiller ... lucky he got a phone call IMO
