    What player did we lose this year's first round pick for? Was it Manual?

    They traded up for him? Why can't I remember this?

    Yeah. Only moved up a few spots in a WR deep draft.

    Trash?

    I don't know about that.

    He is a jack of all trades for TE. is a large upgrade for Chandler (and any TE the Bills have employed, maybe ever... but at least since Riemersma). He fits in very well with our OC Greg Roman and I'm sure he was hand picked/targeted by him.

    And... its really not that much money if he produces and blocks for the running game. Especially considering you virtually had 2 TEs who would be eating up that same money and an additional roster spot. Lee Smith makes $3 million a year to block, and Chandler was signed to $5.3 million to catch passes (and be fairly uninspiring athletically). It is basically the same deal as Kyle Rudolph got, and remember the cap always goes up and the Bills are still in good shape.

    They needed this tight end and specifically targeted him. Graham, Cameron, Gresham, J Thomas, Owen Daniels, and even had Chandler in-house. They went directly for Clay, despite there being a Transition Tag on him.

    Charles Clay is a bun

    I watched the game last night and I saw a lot of good things. First off, the Defense has a chance to be world class. I know they played the Browns, but theyre very explosive and have a great push up front.

    Secondly, I like the QBs they have. I never thought I would ever say this but all 3 of them are good enough game managers to drive the ball and get some points. I think 17 per game will be good enough to win games. That's not too much to ask, right?

    10-6

    I think your QBs are not very good but the defense is going to be a terror. If Shady can stay healthy you wont need to get a ton out of your QBs to be in battle for playoffs.
    Rooting for Cassell but think Taylor is better option than Ej.

    Love the Bills for over 8.5 wins for the season.

    It was pretty obvious that both teams just wanted to get out of there. The Bills' opening drive was like 10 minutes and resulted in a missed FG. Despite the flags it was one of the fastest NFL games I have ever seen.

    I like Ty Rodd's footwork. Seems confident and can get out of trouble to be a real threat and also plants and gets the ball out with authority.

    Darby getting 2 picks was great.

    Very interesting on the back end of the WR Roster race. many guys and they all look pretty decent.

    Released Fred Jackson. Wtf?

    Yeah he's old and injury prone, but he catches passes and blocks. As well as a leader. Our whole backfield is fucking injured. I seriously don't know what the hell is going on here. Starts our last preseason game. 5 carries almost 50 yds and a td and then gets cut. This pisses me off.

    He wouldn't let Rex Ryan near his feet.
    Seriously though that is kind of messed up. I watched the start of that game the other night and he looked great. They showed how he was the 3rd highest rusher (total yds) in NFL history out of Undrafted Players.

    That is an extremely odd move to cut Jackson. He was cheap and the guy could pass block. Unbelievable that they consider Bryce Brown a more suitable back up.

    Patriots will sign him the next couple of days. Enough time to prep for week 2.

    well, he has played really good in all 3 preseason games.

    The coaching staff has also been working with him at minicamps, OTAs, and over a month of training camp so there is that too. Harbough also gave him high marks from Baltimore.
