Florida won the division last year too. Did we do that?

We can't even win a lottery pick. Maybe we will this year. We're currently in contention for one.

And Tyrod has a TON of talent as an athlete but anyone that thinks he'll ever win anything in the postseason doesn't have a clue. He can't read a defense and can't make the quick decision under pressure. A running QB will get you some wins but sooner or later you have to win by actually THROWING for an entire game; not just a throw here or there (see yesterday's TD to Hunter).

Draft a QB every year. Play EJ if you have to. The team will win 6-7 games instead of 8-9 games and you saved $18M in cap space you can use to fix that horrible secondary.

But SOMEHOW the Bills need to find a QB because Tyrod is not the savior.

I told everyone Girgensons was a bum, guy scored 6 goals in an AHL season, sure he had 15 goals when his Dad Nolan was coach playing 20 minutes a game but the guy stick handles puck with his head down, can't make plays and can't win faceoffs...I remember people saying "he's future captain" and face of the franchise lol...just thought I'd chime in years later to quote brainy smurf "I was right I was right"

I remember when Matthew Coller said "I wouldn't trade Girgensons for Nathan Mackinnon"...lol. "At age 19 one of best two was centers in league" ha ha

What a great GM we have giving long term deal to Moulson. Slowest team in league what a joke. Blows a first round pick on a goalie who's always injured and have proven zero

- MrSquirrel


Well good call then on Girgensons. As far as Moulson, as stated we had to overpay to get the guy (remember we had just traded him for (2) second round picks). The first couple years were pretty bad with him, but he is coming back around. As for the goalie, he did win the AHL championship and sure he was not proven in the NHL, otherwise you would have paid a lot more (how proven was the player drafted with that pick in the NHL?). Also, remember that trading Miller (and Ott) almost netted (2) 1st round picks and Carrier, Chris Stewart, and Halak. Would you want to pay that for a "proven" goalie? The only reason it was not (2) 1st round picks was because he did not resign there, so they traded that (minus 1 first rounder) for like 4 months of Miller's services.

Not true but ok
- GERBE!!!75PTS


Name 10 better GM's and teams like NYR dont really count since players want to play their (and a duck can be running the team and they still want to play there). Like Vesey, he wanted to play there and Chris Drury had to seal the deal, not even the GM.

I think right now, they are stuck with him


3 qb's in pipeline, all 3 are running qb's

our wr's are small, which is why I would like them to sign britt and aiken

if you fix the o line, then it could be ok
russel wilson was a run first qb when he won the super bowl


move away from the smurfs, harvin and goodwin, and get some size


draft nothing but db's and o linemen at draft

They'll probably keep him and pay him because the fan base would revolt if they kept EJ and Cardale but it's a mistake. Why overpay for 2 more wins a season ? And yeah, they do need to get bigger at WR. Totally agree with drafting OL and DB's. Also need to take a mid round QB every year IMO.

I understand your frustration, but how about the year the Leafs were the best team in the league (going into Januaray) and then missed the playoffs, bad?

How about last year when the Ducks could not buy a goal (same as us today) and still made the playoffs?

You make it sounds like at 6 points out and 61 (?!?!?) games left we have NO chance on making the playoffs? I understand we have not been playing well at all, but teams go through those type of stretches all the time. I would rather do that stretch now then March.

agreed, but he will be long gone before we pick


my guess is he goes between 5 and 14, and I can't see the bills picking lower than 16-18 right now
