you're not seeing you self contradiction as usual.
Bills have made moves that you have *****ed about them not doing in the past.
In the past ....Bills let go of player X ...OP "they haven't replaced him ...waaaaah! "
In the present Bills replaced player X with an upgrade..... "it's a move that's made to sell tickets. Waaaah!"
Yeah upgrading a position with a more proven talent is nothing more than ticket selling.
Whining just to whine.
In the past: Bills never keep their good players ...OP" we let him go and never replaced him. Bills are cheap! Waaaah!"
Bills re-sign hughes OP " it's ticket selling move , bills are stupid for spending money, waaah!"
Like I said, damned if they do, damned if they don't.
FYI, Buffalo tried to improve the Ol but it's not their fault Bulaga decided to stay in GB for less.
It takes two to tango.

I've always maintained that spending money alone wasn't enough- that it had to be spent wisely. What they are doing now is not wise.
And trying to upgrade the OL and failing still doesn't result in getting better on the OL.
Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.
I can think os a reason. It's called UPGGADING THE POSITION WITH A PROVEN PLAYER. IF your OL has issues ALL THE MORE the team is better with a proven player than one who isn't.
so anytime the bills upgrade a position with a PROVEN player , it's selling tickets? that's just stupid and if you can't see it, nothing I can do.
Was keeping Hughes instead of letting him go a ticket seller as well?

That one's a bit less obvious. I don't think that move sold any additional season tickets, but letting quality players walk in the past has caused existing season ticket holders to not renew.
And I never said that upgrading with a proven player means they are trying to sell tickets. You constantly fail to account for the specific situation. They took a position where we were average and made it good, while not improving other positions that were already bad. And the position that they upgraded is flashy and dependent on the position that they didn't upgrade.
I don't have time to look up his stats and look up our rushing stats from last year. But I would suspect that he would be slightly better than what we did last year, which means signifcantly worse than what he did last year. And I think we would be able to get similar production out of a cheaper RB so we'd srill have Kiko and more cap space.
If teams are putting 8 or 9 guys in the box to stop McCoy, that means Watkins & Harvin are OPEN.
Even EJ or Cassel can get the ball to a wide open Watkins or Harvin.
And both Felton & Clay will help open holes for McCoy.
So what you are saying is McCoy will help the Bills WIN.
