All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Buffalo News list trading for Sammy 16th worst mistake by Buffalo Sports team
As it stands right now, they overpaid for what appears to be a very good player.
If you argue that statement, you're fooling yourself. You can argue hindsight all you want, but there's no way you can tell me we didn't overpay. This team would be better with Beckham/Evans/Benjamin and our 1st and 4th pick next year.
You know who might be available in the 1st round when we would've had a draft pick next year? A decent friggin' guard.

It's not hard to find a decent guard in the 2nd or 3rd round of the draft.
Is the 19th pick (at best) in the 2015 NFL draft overpaying for Sammy Watkins?
Re: Buffalo News list trading for Sammy 16th worst mistake by Buffalo Sports team
quite frankly, i think it might be a mistake not to continue the toronto series. once terry decides he no longer wants (or cant) bankroll the bills indefinitely he will realize they need luxury suite money that simply doesnt exist in enough quantity in blo. i predict in five years tops the bills will roll out more games in hoserland, hopefully without the total crap product and rip off pricing that doomed the initial attempt in the first place
Re: Buffalo News list trading for Sammy 16th worst mistake by Buffalo Sports team
and even tho i like sammy a lot and am glad hes here, i still wish they hadnt traded the first for him. id rather have one of the other super wrs from this draft AND that #20-ish pick. but its not like the bills cant recover from that mistake, they can. the draft is so hit and miss it wont take much for them to end up just about where they would have. and sammy still might turn out to be the best of this crop and end up justifying his cost anyway
They will be able to get one of the top guards, maybe even the #1 center, where they are right now.
You might be right, I don't follow college as much as most so I can't disagree.
But wouldn't it be sweet then to get a top guard in the second...and a top TE in the 1st? Or maybe even 2 top interior offensive lineman? Yeah man, that would be pretty cool.

Pfft. It's just like the negative Nancy's and dumbass sportwriters to judge a player after his rookie season and a trade before we see it's ramifications. Many thought that the Vikings got their last piece to the Super Bowl puzzle when they made the Herschal Walker trade. How did that work out historically? Many thought the Cowboys were stupid for trading multiple picks to Seattle for Tony Dorsett. You can go on and on. You can backseat drive any trade or move, but you really don't know for quite a few years.

well, we knew almost immediately about the jerry hughes/kelvin sheppard trade.
Re: Buffalo News list trading for Sammy 16th worst mistake by Buffalo Sports team
Well it may have been a super intelligent move for the QB position too ... because actually picking a good QB is a very difficult chore. There are no guarantees. I have seen Watkins, in several occasions, throw his hand up in the air and catch the damn ball just because it was thrown in his vicinity. Considering the QB play we get this may have been the best QB move in the history of the franchise.
