Never could have been done . People in Buffalo were way too emotional about Vick's crimes back then . I would have liked to have him here too.

Not with Hackett.

Gailey knew how to run an offense.

Ryan Fitzpatrick doesn't

Foster has a very slim chance of being a top-5 running back. Even if he returned to form, that offense is not going to be very good. There's a even slimmer chance he stays healthy all year.

Thanks for the advice guys. Yes I'll post more instead of lurking in the shadows

People here need to get over themselves. We are like the guy on a 12 year dry spell who won't date a girl because she not his type. Beggars can't be choosers.

Anyone know if the traverse city tourney will be televised?

Was just looking at the schedule and they play everyday. Wow I hope they are icing like 40 players cause if not damn they'll be tired.

- Carubba-Kaleta


I think we can watch it online. Also they don't play Sunday, just Friday, Saturday, Monday, and the finals on Tuesday.

Why Cohen?

Dude was making plays all preseason.

Oh that's right, preseason doesn't count.

Same reason why I wish Chris Hogan would get cut. Training camp hero that hasn't made a regular season play in his 4 years of the NFL

E.J. Manuel completed 3-of-7 passes for 56 yards in the Bills' preseason finale Friday night.

Clearly worried about their sophomore quarterback, Manuel was allowed to handle three drives in the exhibition finale. He didn't deliver, while losing Sammy Watkins to a rib aggravation. Manuel wraps the preseason 50-of-82 passing (60.2 percent) for 517 yards (6.30 YPA), one touchdown, three turnovers, and six sacks taken. We'll be streaming fantasy defenses against the Bills this year.

Roto world

I don't know what it's going to take for the Bills to realize that EJ is a .crub and will always be one, he's not an NFL QB and the Bills will go noplace with him.

Thats bout what philip rivers put up in preseason last year. This entire offense was woeful this preseason not just ej.

In fairness to Coller he's not entirely wrong. The 2014/15 sabres have a bunch of good players capable of putting up decent numbers but what ultimately makes them a bad team is that there's no elite presence.

You add a Kopitar/Crosby/Stamkos up front and a Doughty/Weber on the blue line and suddenly those good players look very good...perhaps even good enough to earn a roster spot on a national team they have no business being on.

He had 17 passes thrown to him last season.

Tough to make plays when you, on average, get thrown one ball a game.

It's also easier to get open in training camp. I just hate when guys fall in love with the pre-season/camp hero's. There is a reason 3 teams let him go before we got him.

Would rather have kept Da'Rick Rogers. At least he has upside

In 2 years I would agree. Not yet though. We have Myers and Gorges as the only true top 4 defensemen. Risto/Pysyk/McCabe are unproven and young.

As far as forwards, we have 2-3 legitimate top 6 players, in 2 years we will have more

Moulson, much like he was with JT with the isles.

Richards: really take your pick he had 40 odd points and 10 in 26 in the playoffs. Like to think that someone here is capable of that

The only thing we'd be short is a Quick but I'd like to think a dominant defence would make up for that (or at least some of it).

Every city he is connected to is the same way... There were protests when he signed with the Eagles and the Jets.

No doubt our team is still a bit too young and I'd say that's the one thing Coller (and I) really didn't account for. But aside for perhaps lack of experience I think the point is still valid.

caplannfl: #Bills eying veteran QB market. One name to keep an eye on is Kyle Orton. Bills want someone with experience behind Manuel.
