Sisyphean Bills

So they make it even more worthless?

Which makes him a board Favorite by definition.

The Vikings were already a playoff team. Adding Favre was just putting the cherry on top of an cake that was otherwise already decorated. On the other hand, the Bills are a small, slow, weak team without a foundation and in the beginning stages of filling up the dumpsters. Suggestions that adding a rookie QB is all it takes to make this a Super Bowl team are laughable.

Edwards is a solid QB between the 20s. Too bad one has to score points to win a football game.

Take a page from Bills West? Jacoby Ford is fast.

Actually, large athletes, especially those that are serious about their craft (aka, professionals), don't necessarily suffer from wildly fluctuating weight changes.

Yeah, sure. His coach got fired because of all the success Clausen brought to South Bend.

I thought the new regime was all over it because they haven't signed any FAs or drafted anyone yet.

Apparently he never found the weight room at OU. Cody didn't even bother to lift though (from what he said).

McCoy is getting trashed on Sirius.

What do you do with Peerless Price Version 2.0? Well, you need to get an Eric Moulds to complement him, threats out of the backfield and in the middle of the field, and a QB that can play the game. Then you can use him as the deep threat he is. Oh, well. It's irrelevant given the situation. Just send him on 9 routes so he can maintain good cardiovascular conditioning.

Fixed.

The problem with free agency this year (assuming it is uncapped) is that teams will be able to better protect their younger, better players from free agency -- the players a team really wants to build around. The players that will be dumped because there are no cap ramifications to doing so are not going to be the players that the Bills can build around. Just the opposite, these players are going to be the big name and other players that are busts, have been injured, or are otherwise out of gas and can't live up to their bloated guaranteed contracts. Adding another T.O. isn't going to make this a playoff team anymore than it did last year.

Unsurprisingly after 4 years of Jauron, and 2 with Levy, the only areas where this team has some competitive talent are the defensive backfield and special teams. Everything else needs renovation.

Denney is the same guy that people here were giving virtual fallatio to Tom Donahoe over for trading up and nabbing just before the Steelers, who were and are a 3-4 defense, could draft.

The big money question is whether this is a draft class like Ryan and Flacco, a draft class like Russell and Quinn, or a class like Couch and McNabb. Just because someone is one of the two best in a particular draft class doesn't mean he's the next Peyton Manning.

Having a smaller, athletic defense built to win in the AFC, and particularly against Dan Marino and the Fins, didn't hold up against the road grader OLs of the NFC East of the day. To fix it, they drafted defensive backs and James Patton.

Brady Quinn Light.

I think he was just dodging the real question by trying to spin a little comedic response. I mean, he sums up the whole thing by mentioning that DC was buried in snow. OTOH, his answer is what everyone should expect. He's not going to come out and say Ralph has one foot out the airplane, Brandon is in over his head, and the tradition of the team is one of failure and unwillingness to do what it takes to finish the job.

Using a snow shovel to deposit the green snow drifts of money he got from the Redskins into his bank account had nothing to do with it, I'm sure.

No. They don't have the thumpers nor the switches at this point.

Bust.

An NFL GM isn't some dude playing Madden, eating a bag of Doritos, sitting in his underwear with his ball cap on backwards. A GM is executive management and he oversees the building of a complete football team across many different functions and disciplines. It's nothing new; successful managers surround themselves with the best talent. Sorry if the reality spoils your "fun" somehow. I'm not going to apologize for wanting the Buffalo Bills to actually be more than a laughingstock in this reality.

Nix was an employee of the Bills when he was promoted to GM. That's not waffling, it's a cold, hard fact. Whether you want to claim he was more of an outsider or not is your issue. Again with the anonymous sources... so this anonymous source directly contradicts the words that I heard come out of Ralph Wilson's own lips. Sorry, but I think Ralph is a lot more "inside" than your anonymous bloggers. No. Because Ralph Wilson, owner, said so. And, he did not use his name, but I knew who he was referring to because of the Rooney rule. See above, tough guy. Chuckle. Yeah, clearly the members of Ralph's inner circle have no input. BTW, some anonymous sources confirm you are ridiculously naive.

A true GM wouldn't care who the starters might be. He'd care about 1) getting the right coaches, 2) getting the proper evaluation of where the biggest weaknesses on the team are, 3) put together a first rate scouting staff and get competent evaluations on college and pro personnel put together, and then 4) going after the best players to increase the level of competition across the entire roster and fill as many gaping holes as possible. Then, it is up to the coaches to evaluate the 80 guys we bring to camp, narrow it down to the best 53, and figure out how to win football games by playing the best of those players.
