Add your 2nd rounder and I’ll call Elway and you guys can move up to 5 once we get Cousins. Unless Barkley is on the board then your SOL

Another good move.

Hughes will not be a buffalo bill next year
Tyrod will not be the starter.
Clay is not a top tight end, but is paid as one.

- Boss34


Dareus was a good move because it was only 1 year plus the remainder of this one with dead cap and he has 4 years left starting next year.

Cutting Clay for next year does nothing except save a roster spot; his full salary would be dead cap. Why would you cut your best pass catcher that isn't a RB? The year after? Sure, but not this year.

I don't think Tyrod is here period. They've got an out, and we know who he is. A ~.500 guy. They need to move on if they want to progress. Even if it's Cousins or Smith, neither of which bowl me over. Cousins puts up numbers, but not wins.

Hughes is interesting, save a little less than half next season and 75% the season after.

I didn't realize clay restructured this past off season. I would cut him in 2019 then.

Hughes just doesn't fit in. Trade would be great.

Smith would be fine with me. The Bills have Taylor under contract at a reasonable value though, so they could easily go back to him unless a team wants to trade

Maybe Mayfield? I've seen him at 5, I've seen him at 27, and I've seen him in the 2nd round(though that was earlier in the season).

I just looked at a few mocks, Mayfield at 6 a couple times, 12, 13, 17, 27. Who the (frank) knows?

Smith, Taylor, Bradford; they're all .500 QBs imo. Maybe the Broncos or someone will trade for Taylor.

As far as a football game is concerned, that poop was pathetic, from all 3 sides: The Bills, The Jags and the Refs. Couple of points on each:

First, the refs:

1.) I saw about 17 uncalled holding plays against us, no joke. Their O-line was absolutely mauling us and got away with pure murder.

2.) Tyrod got hit in the head multiple times, hit below the knee at least twice from what I saw and they threw 1 flag on a play that even Stevie Wonder would have thrown a flag on

Second, the Jags:

1.) Bortles is trash. Once they realized we weren't stacking the box and the refs weren't calling any holding, they just held us and let him run for 1st downs. It was ridiculous.

2.) One of their players taunted a Bills player on the first play of the game, slamming his facemask into our guy and yap-yapping for a good 10-seconds. There was a lot of shoving and the refs didn't set the tone early, against what is becoming the Seattle of the AFC in terms of dirty, dirty play.

Honorable Mention: Dareus's comments before the game on the Bills Front Office. If there was any doubt this guy is a jamoke, he ended it with those comments. Grow the fucc up man. You had multiple suspensions, a huge contract and a bad attitude. That's why you got traded, yeah, deal with it.

And finally, the Bills:

1.) Tyrod. Forget his receivers dropping passes. He had 37 pass attempts. Let that sink in. One of the 3 best rushing QB's in the league had 37 passing attempts. The problem here is that he had numerous opportunities to take off running into huge holes the Jaguars front 7 was leaving open for him and he flat our refused to because: He wants so badly to prove he's an effective pocket passer he essentially chose to lose the game throwing rather than win the game running. This guy has no killer instinct and he has no awareness whatsoever. I saw at least 5 plays where he had a wide open receiver and didn't even look at that side of the field.

2.) The coaching staff. You make the playoffs in dramatic fashion, hold the home team to 10 points and don't pull out all the stops? We scored a FIELD GOAL. On a trip to the redzone in which we had 6 consecutive plays where we refused to power the ball in with Tolbert. Every single play-call on offense that wasn't a pass was a bootleg, because San Fransisco did it and it worked. It was moronic. You think Jacksonville didn't realize this and adjust? They shut it down repeatedly. Yet we kept going back to it.

Honorable mention: 2nd and 10. HB Draw to Tolbert up the middle. WHAT ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH IS THIS???


Before anyone comes flying at me: Be happy the drought is over, blah, blah... No. I'd have rather them missed the playoffs than have to sit through that crap. It was disgusting. Instead of pulling out all the stops and letting it all loose, we played not to lose and lost because of it. This playoff birth just set us back another five years unless we land one of the Free Agents QB's this off-season, which is silly to bank on. We don't have anything to move up with in the draft at this point except picks, and even then, there's so many holes on this roster, we'd be idiotic to not use the picks on depth.

Bye, bye, Tyrod. Stop making excuses for this guy. He (frank)ing sucks and is an idiot.

Everyone but those inside the locker room and super fans on the level of Browns fans who think it's their year thought they were going to be bad.
- Wetbandit1

Um. no. I honestly saw a 9-7 season but thought we'd miss the playoffs easy. Some people know what they're on about sometimes.

You can search back to my comments saying we'd be around 8-8, if you must but it's all a moot point now.

Cam Newton with a chance to win the game and blows it. Just a higher paid Tyrod.

The Redskins also suck. Cousins on this team and we're looking ahead to New England next week.

I'm not dropping $120M on Kirk Cousins. You think making the playoffs set us back? lol Kirk Cousins would be an epic disaster. Who's he going to throw the ball to?

The Redskins allowed 1.8 more points per game than the Bills and allowed 7.2 less yards per game. 2 less INT, same amount of fumbles recovered, and 15 more sacks than the Bills. They play in a weakass division same as the Bills and finished 7-9. Tell me how Kirk Cousins puts us over the top?

Benjamin & Clay are a decent start
Zay has a chance to improve...
many WRs take a year or 2 before they’re productive
Agholor in Philly is a great recent example

Cousins isn’t my 1st choice (Keenum),
but he’s a legit QB in this league

Also,
it’s not like we can’t draft another WR (Kirk from Texas a&m would be a GREAT choice)
Or even sign a WR,
but I’m not sure who’d be available
