  1. You can't look at it that way when a new front office and coaching staff has been put into place. It's starting over (for them).

     

    Obviously for the fans it isn't like starting over, because we've been here for the last decade going through all this. The fact is, none of what the previous staffs have done has anything to do with the people in charge now. So unfortunately our only option is to start over with them. For them its getting the team together, for us its getting our emotions together and hope this regime gives us something to get excited about.

     

    To your point about Ben Watson, I totally disagree. I would rather give Schouman, Stupar, and Nelson all the playing time and have them ready to be good "in their prime" players, and skip the whole bring in Watson and when he sucks cut him at age 33 or 34 then be left with inexperience again.

    Donohoe was "starting over" when he got here. MArv was "starting over". What makes you think this will be different, or that this is how we will succeed anyway?

     

    As for Watson, you missed the point that he is better than anyone we have NOW. Also, you seem to believe that we can't have Watson AND Nelson (heck AND Schouman). There is no rule against that, as far as I know. You would really rather have three guys with little experience and/or suspect talent? Really??

     

    What's is wrong, exactly, with bringing in some modestly priced vets who are good NOW? How is that bad for the team---or worse than endlessly drafting guys who won't pan out or will start immediately-----because we have no good vet at their position??

  2. Why would we draft any quarterback who idn't used to playing in the cold?

     

    Time after time we have tried Qb's from California and other warm weather states (with the exception of Jimbo) and it hasn't worked.

    Ah, there it is.......

     

    It has been a few weeks.

  3. I have to disagree again. He's an inside linebacker and of our linebacker needs the inside is the least of them. We have Mitchell and Poz slated to start with Ellison and some 2nd year players ready to step up and be legitimate backups. Why pay a guy over 8 million a year, when its not of dire need? In addition Dansby is a good linebacker, that got elite money. Its a foolish move unless your a team very close to going deep in the playoffs. Maybe Miami thinks they are, we however are not. Then maybe this investment pays off. But it wouldn't be a prudent signing for the Bills, this would be the type of player the old regime might have signed. I think Buddy and company are too smart for that.

    Just saying that our LB crew scares no one. Poz may someday, if healthy enough for a full season, prove to be above average. Mitchell IS average at best and injured. Ellison is well below average and the rest are keeping the aluminum warm.

  4. he (and you) are sooo wrong it is pathetic - and i'll tell you why.

     

    wow where to start - this is the worst fa "class" in recent memory - first of all the talent of available players is not great - secondly the cba restrictions have drastically limited what teams "would" do and now what they "cannot" afford to do - thirdly there are so many other teams that have not done anything yet - and some of them are in truly worse shape than we are

     

    now to get the the real meat of the concern here - idiots write things like that to get a raise out of who they are targeting - in this case the bills - why? well nix blasted one of their own (that pos sully-in-your-pants) in a presser and this a part of the pay back - don't expect to see anything good written or said about the bills by the media because of that - period! get over it - and accept that is the way it's going to be - i can live with it because i couldn't care less what they say anyway

     

    continuing on - they write things like that so people will enable their poor professionalism by posting about it and trying to make it look like they are right - they aren't.

     

    which brings me to my last point - because you bought in on this and had the shear brazenness to use tim russert's name to further your misguided post - you should be ashamed of yourself. in fact you do not deserve to use tim russert's name period - he would have seen it for what it is and not even given it a second thought!

     

    So this article is "payback" for Nix's lame lashing out at the press for calling him on his silly claim that he was getting 15 calls a day from guys looking to coach the Bills?

     

    Maybe you should take pause before you call others "idiots". And lay off the "I Can Read" large font.

  5. And such regulation is permissible only to the extent it fits within the confines of the Second Amendment. For example, in the Supreme Court Case "District of Columbia v. Heller," the US Supreme Court held that a DC Ban on Handguns exceeded permissible regulation under the Second Amendment.

     

    States, cities, etc. are free to regulate anything they want so long as the regulation does not infringe on constitutional rights, or federal laws permissibly enacted under Congresses' commerce power.

    I was waiting for this. You should read the case. It's a very limited ruling.

     

    The second amendment does NOT limit the states from prohibiting gun ownership. It applies to laws enacted by the federal government only. DC is not a state but a Federal enclave. The SCOTUS ruling did not limit states in their ability to pass laws governing gun ownership. Until such a challenge comes to the Court form a state case, this ruling does not hold against any state. Also, as an aside, the ruling specifically concerned possessing guns in the home, not the right to carry.

     

    To put it simply, states and other municipalities are still free to "infringe" upon certain people's rights to own a gun. This has been true for over 100 years.

  6. I'm not saying these 3 players wouldn't be fine FA signings, but they aren't impact players to take this team over any sort of proverbial hump. Say its 3 years from now that we become a team with a legitimate chance to be over 500. These players will be 31-32-or even 33, by then we will be in a situation with their 4-5 year contracts and be stuck, and for what?, sign these players and win 4-6 games still? I don't get the point.

    How has building a team around the draft been going for the past decade? We've drafted some decent players over that time, some very good ones, too.

     

    Big deal. Nothing happened.

     

    Really?, you only take FAs to get your team over the playoff hump or to become benchwarming "depth" players?

     

    Look at the three guys listed above---none will be very expensive. All are young veterans. All could probably have a positive impact on this team now.

     

    It's better to wait a few years (and another few years) until lightning strikes a sufficient number of times for this crew to draft a playoff team? If, in 3 years, a guy like Ben Watson sucks, guess what--you let him go!

  7. caused by a lack of Vitamnin D might explain losses. :unsure:

     

    http://audio.wben.com/m/audio/29733803/dr-mike-merrill.htm

     

    If you don't what to listen to the whole thing (and perhaps for your health you should) jump to first blue dot at the 2 minute mark.

    Suggesting that the Bills lost games late in the season because of "vitamin D deficiency" is probably the dumbest excuse for their performance that I will ever hear.

     

    The good doctor gave a laundry list of benefits of vitamin D, many of which have not been significantly investigated and are indirect, yet he failed to mention the main function of D--which is to utilize calcium to maintain bone density.

     

    Sounds like another goofy doc with a book to sell.

  8. Actually, it was loaded. Hence the reason he legitimately got tagged for a misdemeanor. By the letter of the law, he was guilty. But those gun laws were written for the real thugs in society.

     

    And the irony is that his car got searched because the cops "saw and smelled pot" (that they never charged him with). Yet California is considering making pot legal so that they can pay-off their massive debt. Gotta love shifting morality! :blink:

     

    BTW, when does Sir Roger have a "sit down" with Mr. Roethlisberger?

    After the conviction, I would assume.

  9. Why do most here think veteran players are mentors or teachers? They just want to play and get paid.

    Good point. Wasn't TO supposed to be a mentor to our "young WRs" when the Bills signed him? Remember reading that somewhere.....

  10. I am white, but I do not see Lynch as a thug. I see Marshawn Lynch as a true American Patriot. Marshawn was simply living within his right [which in todays USA is not] guarenteed to him by the 2nd amendment. Lynch had an UNLOADED gun in the TRUNK of his car LOCKED IN A CASE. Instead of being punished, he should be a good example to the rest of the people out there as how to abide by gun laws and gun safety. AKA guys like Plaxico. I cannot stand how the American people sit around and are ok with their unalienable rights being trampled on by corrupt politicians.

     

    PS I dont think SD trade Cromatie because of his love life. And I agree I see nothing wrong with LJ making gay comments - 1st amendment anyone? Also is the US we are INNOCENT until prove guilty - so lay off Ben because it may be two scum bag gold digging whores looking for some quick cash.

    Actually, not the greatest post ever.

     

    Lazy, blatant factual errors aside, it is sad and surprising you would model American patriotism on Marshawn Lynch, of all people. Sitting smoking weed in the back of an unlicensed car with a loaded, unregistered (NOT in a case) gun is not an act of patriotism. States are free to regulate gun ownership and use and unless Lynch is in the California militia, you should refrain from making him an American hero.

     

    Disturbing.

  11. People complain either way. If we grab people from the colts, pats*, and steelers people say "Are you guys nuts? If bellichick is getting rid of him, there HAS to be something wrong with him. Pats* only cut bad players! stay away!"

     

    And then if we grab people from the raiders or chiefs, people complain that they are from losing teams.

     

    I mean, there aren't many options out there. And we do grab players from winning teams. And that doesn't always work out. I am not a huge mitchell hater like a lot of people here, but he came from a superbowl team and he isn't exactly doing anything great here.

     

    And just because the team played bad, doesn't mean the player played bad. Same goes that just because a team played well doesn't mean the player played well. People have to look at the player and stop complaining about the team they are coming from. We are looking at the player, not the team.

    People were saying the same thing about the last OL man we took form Oakland....

  12. "KILL...KILL, KILL, DA WHITE MAN!! ......... KILL HIM, UNTIL HE IS DEAD..... KILL...KILL, KILL DA WHITE MAN!!!" (From Howard Stern's Private Parts)

    Time to hear from Tyrone Greene:

     

     

    Images by Tyrone Greene ...

    Dark and lonely on the summer night.

    Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.

    Watchdog barking - Do he bite?

    Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.

    Slip in his window,

    Break his neck!

    Then his house

    I start to wreck!

    Got no reason --

    What the heck!

    Kill my landlord, kill my landlord.

    C-I-L-L ...

    My land - lord ...

    Def!

  13. I agree that Bulaga seems to be the "safer" pick. However, there are those that don't think

    Bulaga should be picked that high. The knocks on Bulaga from those with that point of view

    include:

    * doesn't have a powerful lower body to drive defenders off the line

    * has marginal arm length (this supposedly can let a defender with longer arms have an advantage)

    * is built more like a G than a LT

     

    However, those knocks seem less scary to me than Davis' reported lack of work ethic

    and maturity.

     

    Yeah but he's young. His arms will grow. Just needs a little time in the gym.

     

     

    Right?

  14. This is the latest

     

     

    Richie Incognito-G- Bills Mar. 8 - 9:30 am et

     

     

    Rams GM Billy Devaney denied that they have any interest in bringing free agent G/C Richie Incognito back.

    Incognito's inability to control his temper on the field led to his release and the Rams are moving on. "There is the 90 to 95 percent of Richie that is outstanding," Devaney said. "It’s the other 5 or 10 when the dark Richie kicks in and it becomes a problem."

    The front office knows more than you do, accept it. If it was really stupid for them not to tender him then you'd think he would have attracted a lot of interest by now, but he hasn't.

    So the Bills let walk a guy who is "90-95% outstanding"?

     

    Yeah, wouldn't want a single guy on the team like that!
