GoPre Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 College football is in full swing today! Over the years I have become more of a college football fan. NFL, minus the Bills, has lost my attention. Too boring to watch. If you don't have a franchise qb, your team is usually playoff berth at best. Plus, the NFL seems to have less energy. Players don't appear to be giving 100%. Anyhow, couple of ranked games being played today. Michigan and Florida are going at. Wanting the Gators to win. Went to an SEC school, so I'm pulling for the conference. Big game is Alabama and Florida State. Number 1 against number 3!! insane matchup for week 1. Again, gotta pull for an SEC team. So roll tide!! How sweet it is for college football to be back in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Getting a 1st for Gaustad. But Darcy did not sell young players. He sold veterans nearing FA. Such as Watkins. He never was going to re-sign here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffismagic Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Such as Watkins. He never was going to re-sign here. Yes and no. I did say Watkins asked to be traded but that was because the Pegulas hired this backwards looking coach. Bringing back Tyrod was just so dumb on many levels. Hey star WRs want a QB and Buffalo refused to improve the position for year after year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How have Beane and McDermott failed to improve their QB position when they brought in Yates, drafted Peterman, ensured they have capital to draft a QB next year, and signed Tyrod to a deal where they can boot him next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Watkins asked to be traded and I have to ignore your gratuitous commentary about the coach because he hasn't coached a game yet and you have some sort of weird inherent bias against him. What star QB was Watkins going to play with if the Bills didn't bring back Taylor? And didn't he spend a lot of the offseason working with Taylor, indicating that he liked playing with him? Is Jared Goff really his preference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What star QB was Watkins going to play with if the Bills didn't bring back Taylor? And didn't he spend a lot of the offseason working with Taylor, indicating that he liked playing with him? Is Jared Goff really his preference? The Bills are the ones who did not pick up Watkins 5th year option. So what Watkins wanted was irrelevant...UNTIL Sean messed up and ceded team control of the asset. So to answer your question, the QB the Bills would have drafted in 2017 or even in the 2018 draft that everyone is putting all their hopes in.

jeffismagic Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 So, Mahomes, then? Bills had Sammy for 2017, 2018 and they still had the franchise tag. So Mahomes, Trubisky this year. Or Rosen, Darnold in 2018. Again, what Sammy wanted was irrelevant. Bills gave up their control of the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 How the is Ducasse not cut yet?If there's any actual piece of evidence that McDermott and Beane suck at this point, it's that this dude is still around and kept getting snaps with the 1s. Worst OL I've ever seen in my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat Ass Ducasse is so bad and anyone that watches the Bills knows that because he was a turnstile on the Jets every time we played them. Jets fans were screaming for him to get cut too.

Is your quibble the initial decision not to extend him or the subsequent decision to trade him? Upthread, you're complaining about the *trade*. The trade was eminently sensible given the prior decision not to extend. If your problem is with the decision not to extend, that's different, and it's a considerably more reasonable position.

But you can't look at the trade in a vacuum because the Bills created the problem themselves by losing control of one of their primary assets.

I look at it as the only logical decision once the mistake was made. Cutting their losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Crotch Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 I'd like to see us grab a veteran WR who gets cut from another team as a cap casualty. Victor Cruz got cut by the bears, but he can't run anymore. Too many injuries. Gotta be someone else out there. Also, someone at TBD stole my avatar. :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffismagic Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Colts acquire Jacoby Brisset. Very nice move, I like Brisset more than anyone on the Bills at QB. He struggled against us last year but I believe his hand was injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffismagic Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Josh Allen is just another overhyped "pro style" QB brought to you by backwards looking scouts. If the Bills drafted him high he would be a disaster. Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
