He got hurt again? Modrak just moved him up his draft board.
-
If TO was to be traded, to me the only team that makes sense is Baltimore. They wanted him before and Clayton hasnt been getting the job done.

I agree it can be turned around. Miami is for sure a great example. Denvers defense went from being swiss cheese to one of the best in one year. This team needs a disciplinarian who can install some motivation. Hopefully we will get a ream GM and Modrak is gone. I agree his record is luckluster. Buffalos search to replace Jim Kelly has been to invest (3) numbers ones, a 2, 3, 4, and 5th round draft choices to get Rob Johnson, Drew Bledoe, JP Losman and Trent Edwards. The Whitner over Ngata choice was just about inexcusable in my book. This team has to have money to spend, especially if we get a good GM. Cut Parrish and his millions, cut Josh Reed and his millions, I think Steve Johnson can do what Reed does and more, only cheaper. TO will be gone theres another 7.5 million to spend. How much did we save getting rid of Walker, Dockery and Peters. Theres some more millions. If Maybin can bulk up you can get rid of Kelsay and his millions. If Byrd can play FS better than Whitner and cheaper then bye bye Donte. Never thought much of Whitner as SS. Maybe Ralph is saving money this year to eat Maurons final two years. But there is definetely money to spend to address a few of our needs in free agency next year. Whoever we draft were not good enough to spend high picks on people who wont contribute. ala Maybin. Were not the Steelers where they can draft Ziggy Hood and not immeadiately need him. We need at least 2 impact starters from the draft. I dont care which need they fill but the 1 and 2 picks have to start and contribute.

Do you blame Edwards for being shell-shocked?

A big amen there. Sorry to the Checkdownwards defenders but there hasnt been improvement in his performance. Things you see in a Flacco and Ryan. -
Id love to see it. Mauron, Modrak, and Guy would all go, Russ could stay in the business side but he would be out of the football decision business. Over the last decade plus some, I would honestly take some bills fans who are draftniks to out draft this team. To make better personel decisions. I would like to know the total draft picks that were invested in the human sack Rob Johnson, the statue Bledsoe, the never was Losman and the deer in the headlights Trent Checkdownwards.

Totally agree. Rogers did some great things despite having to throw with Jared Allen in his face all day and Big Ben has been doing the same. Cripe with have like 15 million spent on 2 receivers, whose production makes them not even startable in fantasy football. He isnt progressing and thats disturbing with the skill position talent on offense. I agree with the sentiment that I thought fitzpartrick was a weak backup signing. Cincy would now be 5-0 if it wasnt for a fluke play. Pretty much the same team but Palmers in and Fitzpatrick is out. So Fitzpatrick is basically Losman or Checkdownwards. At his point..yeah Id give Hamdan a shot for one game. What are we going to do worse than 3 points against the 31st ranked defense if Hamdan started?,

After hearing these press conferences, the Bills are the most awesome practice team in the NFL.
-
Big Ben would improve this teams 6-8 wins single handedly. The guy gets sacked 50 times a year and all he does is win 2 superbowls. The guy extends plays with his legs, shrugs off defenders hanging on him then throws darts downfield to ward, holmes and miller. sorry but none of that is in TE's resume. Aaron Rogers threw for over 300 yards monday night while Jared Allen was living on the packers side of the ball. Does our offensive line suck, hell yes. Does TE suck, hell yes.

If Jauron isn't fired in 24 hours, it can only mean ...

Its impossible to go broke being an NFL owner, theres a salary cap and NFL franchise's worth goes up..way up, every year. Ralph doesnt have to do a thing to have his net worth go up 10-20 million EVERY year. -
What did Aaron Rogers throw for Monday night while his OL let Jared Allen in all day long....over 300 yards.
-
I would like to give a big thanks to the browns. This has to be the nail in the coffin of the Mauron era.
-
18 million on TO and Lee not to use them.....priceless.
-
Funny how our returners never know what to do in crucial situations despite the genius April.
-
Thats only if the game is in Buffalo, at Vegas were a 3 point dog.
-
This has to be the most exciting futility bowl ever.
-
But Bobby April is a genius......just ask the patriots in the opener.
-
Friggin sad aint it. Making the 31st defense in the league look like the 85 bears.
-
How bad is our offense...were losing to a team with 1 completion in a a half of football.
-
TO is on pace for 632 yds and 4 TDS, Evans is on pace for 592 yards and 4 tds..........sad, very sad.
-
Maybe Im wrong but wont we have some money to spend next year? If TO isnt resigned thats 7.5 mill, we had to save some money letting Dockery and Walker go, and yes I realize we have to eat part of their signing bonuses. Cut or trade Roscoe and Kelsay, etc? But then again Im sure we'll spend millions on some journeyman offensive lineman who will in no way actually help the team win.

Heres a wildcard coordinator, Bruce Arians offensive coordinator with Pittsburgh. -
Somebody explain the O-line situation to me...
billsfan714 replied to RayFinkle's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The bills always enjoy not taking who they should of in the draft...in order to let the Ravens take them, thereby talking an inferior player in order to continue our to keep our non-playoff streak alive. -
Kelso played 50 yards off the ball, I remember the Raiders playoff game, Tim Brown catches a pass runs like 40 yards and you finally see Kelso coming in the picture from the other direction. . Guess he didnt want to give up the 80 yard bomb only the 50 yard crossing pattern. Donte Whitner couldnt hold Henry Jones's jock.

I was born in the suburbs in the early 60's so when I became aware of football, say 1970, the Bills more or less truly sucked. I was originally a chiefs fan as I fell in love with them in the double OT loss to the Dolphins. This was the Len Dawson, Ed Podalak, Otis Taylor, Willie Lanier, etc chiefs. I lived threw the 70s and all the loses to the fish. I remember getting Dennis Shaws and John Leopolds autographs at local malls. I rooted for the Bills but there wasnt much to root for. I was there, at Rich, when Dempsey missed the chip shot to end the streak. I think we had one wild card in the 70s. As I said I was a Chiefs fan, and wasnt a hardcore Bills fan, but when I moved to Ohio to go to college, people dissing the Bills started to piss me off and my pride in my hometown kicked in. I remember watching the Knox led Bills against San Diego in the very early 80s, ended in heartbreak and Bill Simpson made some sort of screwup. Since then I was hooked, we had up and downs in the 80s but then the team started to become a winner. It was beautiful. I cherish the superbowl teams, even though they ended in heartbreak, but that was part of being a Bills fan, all the way back to the vision of Dempsey missing the chip shot. It was fun to hang 50 on the Raiders in the AFC championship game. The comeback, when my coworker in PA, called me at halftime to say hows your !@#$ing Bills doing. God it was fun coming in the next day to rub it in his face. As for Buffalove, and I like that word, I want to say this. You hear on this board so and so move to Florida or so and so moved to California, high WNY taxes, the weather, blah blah blah. My memories of Buffalo were, and are, great, even though I havent lived there since 1981 though my family is still there. I visit regularly. Not everyone who leaves Buffalo moves to some 24/7 beachfront location, making high 6 figures. And those that did probably dont brag too much lately about how the housing bubble, which is the worst in Cali, FLA and Las Vegas. Finding a reasonable 3 bedroom middle class house isnt that difficult in WNY. I lived in Ohio and currently live in PA and like Buffalo 100 percent better. Sorry, but the hometown I thought I wanted to leave in 1980, still beckons, and I hope to retire up there someday. For all the **** about Buffalo weather, it sure as **** seemed the people in WNY sure knew how to enjoy summer-crystal beach, beaver island, niagara falls, weekends at the quary at Sherkston, beach bars (try finding one of those in central PA), all the beaches and vacations at cottages in southern Ontario on the lake, drinking beer with friends at a beach fire, waterskiing, running on sand dunes, lawnfetes. And when the snow falls its on to winter sports, I have plenty of great memories of tobogganing at chestnut ridge on a toboggan which my father made in shop class in the 50s, skiing at Holiday Valley and Kissing Bridge, partying and sledding at Como park in HS. Hmm believe or not Buffalonians dont just sit on their ass and watch TV from Nov-March. I miss a Teds dog and a beef on weck. Yup its true.....not everyday in Buffalo is overcast and gray. I enjoyed the sun and warmth when it was there and I enjoyed the snow when it fell. ONE thing Im sure of, Buffalo and WNY is pretty great place to grow up in or raise a family. Buffalonians have no reason to feel like our city/area is somehow inferior, cause its not. In fact it a pretty awesome place to be raised in and Ill forever be Buffalo proud and wear my Bills hat down here with these Steeler fans. Cause one of these days........the Bills are gonna win it all Im gonna be up there, getting drunk as a skunk with all you other SOBs. .
