Bangbang... you dead! you dead!!!!

So long as Ryan Miller doesn't pull a Grant Fuhr in the playoffs!!!

The Sabres have really turned it around since going bankrupt, and when the Bills get a new owner the very same process may take shape. Until then, all we have in the words of Alexandre Dumas is to "wait and hope".

Someone has to help the Sabres now until McNabb and Gragnani develop, and I for one am VERY happy they invested in depth. Excited is not a strong enough word! The Bills would never obtain top talent in pairs like the Sabres do...

I partly disagree.. our defensemen and goalies are going to be home grown. Our prospects are a couple of years from being NHL starters, and we got spoiled with Tyler Myers. I can't wait for McNabb to make the roster...

Captain Checkdown gets cut by the Raiders. NFL career=OVER

God, I hope the Sabres win the Stanley Cup soon... that would REALLY embarrass the Bills!

Bits: -Lee Evans being traded after our offense finally gets going again is ridiculous, and to not trade for another player is worse. -Not signing Clabo for 5 years because you can't win now is a joke. -Why are you drafting these gadget guys when you have true needs? -Bell is the best tackle we have, and the best means he's being compared to bad offensive linemen, which is a joke. -Depth at WR is not the same as numbers- New England has depth and we have numbers. -Paying Brad Smith for only a handful of plays for a wildcat offense that is exposed is ridiculous. -The Eagles' depth is so good at CB that they are cutting a $2 million CB because he's slotted as a dime back. -The Buffalo Sabres want to win and the Buffalo Bills are existing. It was a bomb fest...

Bucking for the Patrick Moran Prize on TBD are you? It is a preseason game for a player that isn't going to be cut, not one that counts though... remember that.

There have been a LOT of receivers/TEs who have dropped wide open passes in their careers. Not worried unless it is like a TO habit.

You're right, of course Ryan Mallett is awesome.. he's kicking a** in PREseason... good God. Let's get some perspective- I have seen him make the worst decisions against great teams, and he won't change.

I refuse to buy into this 'Ralph is cheap' line that many people use to justify the performsnce of the team. Mismanagement, for sure, but not being cheap- he has fired an absolute NFL HOF Contributor in Bill Polian, let Marv Levy walk over a coaching dispute, and hired coaches and managers that are poor choices not because of their salary but because we couldn't bring in the big fish. Ralph Wilson should have bowed out a long time ago and breathed some life into the franchise. That being said, our offensive line is obviously broken, whether or not it is a preseason game. This along with Spiller's lack of concentration and a dulled learning curve will doom us to mediocrity or worse, and Gailey has to know that is the case. He knows his job is on the line, and as a second chance coach this could very well be his last chance. Buddy Nix can't possibly survive the storm of criticism unless they quit puttering around and FIX what everyone else knows isn't working. NO MORE athletic freaks of nature... we need PROFESSIONALS.

Crazy scene after the Raiders-49ers preseason game last night. Is this a troubling sign of the future? That's two violent stories so far this sports season, and I can't remember this ever happening at the level of violence... http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/6881597/two-shot-candlestick-park-parking-lot-oakland-raiders-san-francisco-49ers-game

1967 Buffalo Bills: "Who Needs A Mad Bomber? Not Buffalo!"

I can see it now, with a bust for Mallett in Canton: "Greatest quarterback in NFL Preseason History. Ryan Mallett tore apart vanilla NFL defenses in the preseason, establishing himself as Preseason Rookie of the Year on his way to an undefeated preseason and major accolades from bloggers and board posters. His selection was automatic as he always did the very best against the finest preseason defensive schemes."

Who were the quarterbacks when then did that 3 years in a row? Who was the GM when they had a substandard QB and drafted those WRs?? If you have players like Fitzpatrick, Jackson/Spiller, and the young WRers we have, you can AFFORD to draft those OLmen. Detroit didn't have that kind of offensive potential!!

CAUSING THIS: "Shawne Merriman caught with steroids" "Shawne Merriman busted for steroids" "Report: Shawne Merriman Recently Caught with Steroids" "Former Chargers OLB Shawne Merriman Caught with Steroids" AND YET... "For the record, I’ve sat on this story for close to three weeks—and numerous mainstream media members I’ve confided in can attest to that." Journalists like in All The Presidents Men (Woodward and Bernstein) did their research when a source came forward. Mr. Moran is not a journalist in August, 2011.

Remember the SI days when they always picked Miami to win the division, and each year they were wrong? They bet on Marino and Shula and lost... LOL

Andre Reed follows Rich Gannon on Twitter, so I doubt Rich Gannon is a Bills hater. He's just falling in line with most of the others who don't see much improved talent with regards to our offense in a division that features the Pats and Jets. The only thing that cures it is WINNING.

You have to ask: Does Ralph Wilson EVER want a black starting quarterback in Buffalo? There was Harris, but that was 40 years ago. I think about that a lot when the QB discussions come up. Brad Smith may be a gimmick QB that he doesn't have to pay big money...

+1,000. You are a freaking genius!

Go back to 1974 and draft Franco Harris, and trade OJ for another first round pick. In hindsight....

I HAVE to call bull on Cortland Finnegan being #15 overall... he is most certainly NOT a shut down defensive back, and is regressing before the Titans very eyes! BAH.
