I think the TD pass that put SF up 10-7, which was more of a coverage mixup, was technically on him, but other than than, you're right.

a blind man can't defend him on that one

Solid, not 100 mil solid.

He's been average. Which for now, is good enough.

IMO we need 2 of the next 3 and go to 6-3 for this thing to become real.

The thing about the deal, though, is that they can walk away from it in year 2 or 3 with very few cap ramifications. The only question is: will they be able to recognize if he isn't worth it?

I was at the game, and actually thought that was Darby, but I think it's hard to tell who mixed up the coverage

dump franson for whatever

then move girgens foligno and picks for lindholm

I don't care if the cost is 2 firsts and those 2 guys

- homiedclown



If we got lindholm we would have the top number one pair in the Eastern conference
And who knows maybe in 2 years the NHL

He takes a beating. No way he plays until he's 40

Making a high risk move to show you're a contender??

Giving up 2 first round picks to show you're a contender??

No. Just no

- Stripes77



Yes I think if we get Philip Rivers it would show the league holy poop the Buffalo Bills are here

But it's a dream scenario that's the only QB I could think that's available

His reaction seemed to indicate he was the one. Nevertheless, it was zone coverage, and he went to the wrong spot. It's not like he got torched one-on-one in press coverage.

Giving up 2 first rounders for any player on the wrong side of 30, even a quarterback, is a mistake.

And he's not that good they should Move on and draft a QB this year

The Philadelphia Eagles made a smart choice did they not ?

- GERBE!!!75PTS


They sure did, started 4-0, since 0-2 and does not have great numbers. Losing to Detroit and Washington. If the Bills lost to those teams I think everyone would want Rex fired.

Oh, and they traded up for the 2nd overall pick. So I dont think we will have enough to make that leap and draft that high.

So back to the Ducks stuff,

I think if you offer sheet Lindholm and they somehow are able to match, Buffalo has less than 0% chance of getting Fowler. Moot point cause they would have a tough time matching. Also, like others said, I doubt you can offer him much (any?) more than Risto, although he was drafted a year before Risto.

I would say at this point, to get Fowler, you are looking at trading Girgensons + Nilsson + 2nd rounder (trying to avoid a 1st rounder) + Bailey / Baptiste for Fowler and Bernier (goalie with $4m salary). Bernier is for cap relief.

Is anyone even interested in that?

That's Great lets pay a guy 100 million for his game managing absolutely ridiculous once the run is not working that day we're gonna have to trust his arm

And I can't believe people are defending him reason why he has over 100 yards because he throws one bomb each game

- GERBE!!!75PTS


How is this bad? The deep threat opens up the run game. If we had a traditional game manager throwing 8yards a pass, the box would be clogged. His style perfectly fits what the personel is.

Also, who cares how much he makes? His cap hit will be 17th for a qb next year. Is he -skill wise with his running and throwing - the 17th best qb? I would say yes. Very few turnovers, big plays.

Wanna say too, EJ seems like a great teammate. He gets so excited and doesn't complain. Still bad at football tho

Taylor has been average to bad up to yesterday.

Yesterday Taylor made plays and controlled the game when needed.

If he continues to play like that, we are in good shape.

We need him to avoid the Ravens, Patriots type performances.

The Patriot game was a weird one, he wasn't good by any stretch but he wasn't terrible, they had him throw a lot which was very weird. It was also the game where he completed the highest percentages of his throws.

Again the Bills are the 3rd highest scoring team in the league...

Correct, But we are 3-2. The team should have destroyed the Ravens but the offense was anemic.

We can't put up 16 points against the patriots again and expect to win.

4-2...

The game against the Patriots 16 points was enough. There was no tempo to score like their was yesterday. It was almost like they were content with 16 points.

The Ravens game they should have been better but I blame the OC for that one...and he's gone and now the offense is looking much much better.

Don't know why I typed 3.

I don't think I've been drinking, unless i grabbed the wrong "juice"

The Dolphins game screams trap game to me, with the upcoming schedule.

I'm not even a bills fan, but I don't get all the bills hate. I have a feeling they go 9-7, if they can steal a game they shouldn't win, they make the playoffs.
