Could have traded for Josh Gordon but instead we sign Harvin, who is done.

To be as bad as they have been for 20 years is mind boggling....... I swear the average fan could have drafted and signed players to get this team into the playoff in 20 years.....

Pegula is a great business man but horrible at running his sports teams.

well I've not given up yet, I actually think he has done the smartest thing up to this point and pretty much kept his hands off.... but at some point you have to say are we going to get where we need to be....

the Bills need to clean house (totally) Front office down and start over. Sell, sell, sell, Hire someone from the collage ranks that knows how to build a program... (a Saban type... NOT SABAN) bottom out get a QB and START drafting smart football players, with speed. the first 4 years trading down in the draft and acquiring more picks.

the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results... they have been doing it for 20 years...... it's time!

Why would his coach throw him under the bus, to the press, a 20 yr old D, for one bad game? I knew that was after one game but coaches usually shelter their players unless they are making a habit of it; their message isn't getting through or something. Whatever, maybe he'll be a stud someday.

he didnt throw him under the bus, thats what I was saying when it comes to Dater. He is the last person you should read when it comse to factual situations. He doesnt give context. hes a professional troll who got fired from the Denver Post for sexually harassing women on twitter, then blaming his long road trips away from his family as the reason why.

He omitted Bednar sayign how Z is a big part of the core, has been playing really well, feels like his game was slipping a bit the past couple games, and wants him to take some time to watch his mistakes. Teach not punish.

Dater doesnt get twitter interaction and clicks unless he trolls

I noticed he was in the Bills locker after the game on Sunday standing behind Rex when he made that horrible after game speech. Rex's speech would bore a dead person.

Do you know Bonks Mullet? It was his fiancee that was the main target, he asked her for a full body version of her avi one day.

Shes a redwing fan and they were talking hockey, I thnk he was losing the argument and then tossed out youre just a woman as his trump card, so what do you know. The guys scum.

But if anyone is intersested, this is what Bednar said about Z after those comments that Dater decided not to provide context for

But it was such a hot commodity people were knocking down the door to take the job, yet it still took 2 full months to hire someone...you don't get it and you probably never will...

but is that 2 months of looking for someone to take the job or 2 months of vetting several candidates?

On a scale of 1-10, 1 being a "mess" 10 being a goldmine, what did Murray inherit in terms of assets?

You're a NHL team without a GM, you do all of your vetting promptly and thoroughly, it does not take you 2 months. Unless you have a hard time finding quality candidates.

My point in all of this is just to state that this wasn't an ideal situation for any GM to walk into regardless of how many "assets" this team had, it was a complete udder mess.

I think with your points I moved from about 2 today to a 5. Had a ton of "C" - "D" level talent in the prospect pool.

Granted, most GM's don't come into a situation like this with as many assets. I'm warming to your point of view, but I think you valued the individual assets much higher than other GM's.
