Edit: I guess they were referring to a sideline interview during the game. Not the trade.

It's all about the McDavid QBS

Jets, 49ers and Browns will all be below us. Darnold and Rosen will be chosen prior to us.

We're basically tanking for a shot at a Dylan Strome.

To be dead last, McCoy, Dareus and Tyrod should all go. I mean if we want one of those two QBs, we'll have to be picking 1 or 2 most likely.

I heard the same thing somewhere else, what's up with this? I know Zeke got suspended, but they would really trade for McCoy for 6 games? Can't imagine they sit their star rookie to give McCoy extra time.

After today Dareus will tank it to be cut next year

Tyrod won't hit Matthews at all

Matthews is the most frustrating player lol

I feel bad for Kyle Williams. Guy is an animal, has always remained faithful to the organization and they're going to tank in one of his final years. I'd be telling them to call me when they knew where I was headed.

Guess that's true, they do play much different styles. I don't know if the Cowboys still have the same O-line they did a few years back...if Shady was behind them...that would be wild.

People don't buy future years tickets, they buy season tickets.

They bought tickets for the season to watch certain players that have now been replaced by players of a lesser caliber.

I don't even dislike the moves, in fact I think they're logically smart. I just think the timing makes it look and feel gross. They did the bait and switch.

If I sound ridiculous, so be it. It's how I feel. I was excited for the season, now not so much

- jcragcrumple




I understand that
But having the thinking that they were dishonest & schemes to trick season ticket holders is completely baseless

And the Vegas over/under is 6-10, which is usually close
So anyone thinking playoffs was really looking at it from a "homer" perspective

The only player keeping us from the bottom is McCoy

They're looking towards the future you can tell by the draft choices and I'm pretty sure he's going to say can you move me to a contender before I hit the wall

That O line is still the best those 2 could be the best combo

Throw a pass to McCoy when Ezekiel Elliott is in the Middle for the fake

I can't see anyone stoping that it be like a Madden cheat code lol

- jdfitz77

on average 4 teams or more miss the playoffs the following year

team was 24-24 last 3 years with bad coaching and a star wr that missed a lot of games the last 2 years


ryan wrecked that d

if it plays average last year, they made the playoffs last season



the bills are not as bad as people think, it's the patriots and 20 years of not winning a playoff game that makes many think the bills are worse then they really are
