Is there anything we can do to help track the NFL draft that would help the board as the days and weeks pass by until April? (aside from unnecessarily duplicating someone else's efforts). Special boards/player topics/etc....????

Well, ABC/ESPN gave up the Sunday Night game, so I assume if MNF would return to ABC proper - then some sort of reshuffling would need to take place with all the networks and the various broadcast packages...

Well, ABC could re-bid the next go around if this fails.

It was three days after the 11th anniversary of my 1st date with Deborah... Next!

How do you manage that?

You can? Is that a new rule? Anyone who doesn't like their pick gets to trade down with the team of their choosing?

P.S. What if Losman was the Anthrax mailer? If he was - I'd cut him tomorrow...

why is this worth posting about? Some talking head, with no quotes, no research, no facts - only a 45 of John Lennon's "Imagine" spinning on the turntable - decides to light one up and ask hypotheticals. BFD. Don't we do that here every day while being 100's of miles away form Buffalo?

I've narrowed it down to acid or paint chips...

Are you mildly "Dawgged"? Just curious...

Why are you arguing with this knucklehead? BTW, why would you call Steve Smith a headcase?

18 posts and you have already become one of the more annoying posters I have ever come across. Look slappy, if you want to rant and rave and use arguments like those above - then apply it equally across ALL your arguments or JSTFU. How do you know the guys drafted WERE DA's choices? Were you in the draft room looking at the board and listening to the conversations. That is a HUGE assumption on your part. DA was not the GM nor was he the HC. He could have very well been a desenting opinion in the "war room" on many of those picks. The fact is - you don't know and neither do I.

Shouldn't THEY be the drunk ones?

Moss had 2 TD's in the last 8 games and they are coming off a big Dallas win in which Moss played a minor role. He has been insignificant the last half of the seaosn. Once Leftwich went down - Garrard has been looking for Smith and his number have gone up. I played the trends and got burned... I'm up 34-27 with my opponent having Dillon to play on Monday... Please God let BB sit his ass now that the division is won.

I'm dying here... I'm holding a small lead, but Smith is ejected, J. Smith is not doing much and Santana Moss is crushing the Giants from my bench....

Was Hicks a choice I had given?

Check TBD on Monday...

what a sucky position to be in on Championship weekend. Seattle and Baltimore sport GREAT run defenses. Two of them will split a game that may not feature Manning. The other plays on the road, outside the dome, in cold Baltimore... I'm leaning towards James, but it changes every minute... Any sage advice?

how does that explain last year's 15-1 record though?

Better yet, you could become a member yourself and satisfy your curiosity!

So, you think the buck stopped at Jim Kelly? Were there any spectators on the sidelines that could have possibly had a say in this?

Who was responsible for that?

I'm reacting more to the excesses of the fans than anything. There is so much real stuff to criticize that it pisses me off to no end that we have to make up stuff just to pile on. Again, the GW situation is the classic example. People dump on a guy for being well-prepared when interviewing for a job. That is amateur hour at its finest. GW was an ass-clown, but people are going to mock him for the one thing he did well? Good grief. The problem I have with analyzing the situation, that apparently few others have, is that I have a woeful inadequate stack of facts to base decisions on. How much is TD interfering with coaches such as McNally? What IS the true sentiment in the locker room for MM, for TD, for TC, for JG, for certain teammates? How can anyone make rational decisions without knowing what goes behind the scenes? Are players correctly executing ill-conceived schemes? Are they incorrectly executing brilliantly devised schemes? I don't have that answer as I don't know what these players are told to do Wed-Sat. So, there are a million perturbations here based upon incomplete data sets. Personally, I believe perception is reality in the NFL and that we must clean house - if only because the expectations have been set by the paying customer. I don’t believe RW can just offer a sacrificial lamb and not get kicked in the teeth for 8 months. From that you need to pick a GM and I don't believe that experience necessarily trumps inexperience. The only experience that matters is Bill Polian type of experience. If a guy is available who has "done it" more than once with different teams/coaches/personnel then odds are he is a good football man. Same goes for the coaching staff. Beyond those guys, anyone is fair game. Let them make the player evaluations and then move on in a methodical manner.

Since everyone is taking aturn in interpreting his comments, I guess I'll give it a shot. Despite the poor record in the past 5 years, Chris is just trying to rightfully point out that not everything TD has done has gone badly. Just because a chick has hammer toes doesn't mean she can't have an ass to die for... The problem that I have seen from Bills fans is their willingness to turn everything into a negative whether it deserves it or not. Case I: People rag on Gregg Williams for doing well in an interview. WTF is that all about? The guy wanted a job and he came in well-prepared and somehow Bills fans across the world turn that into a bad thing. I just want to slap the people who come out with that. Case II: Marv Levy never did anything wrong and he was the epitome of everything a coach should be and his induction into the HoF is proof positive that he walked across Lake Erie to our fair city. Ok... whatever. Perhaps there are a variety of reasons that TD needs to go, but to insinuate that he is somehow the worst GM in the league or that he is clueless about football is just more BS from the black or white fanbase. If the fan base turns against you - even the look on your face is open for criticism. If you are embraced by the fan base, then strawberry yogurt flows out your ass. There is no middle ground.
