For me it had to be attending the 1990 AFC Championship game against the Raiders. The atmosphere was incredible and watching the Bills dominate Oakland 51-3 was absolutely the best. I remember coming to the realization at some point "Holy ****, my team is going to the Super Bowl!" One of the greatest feelings a football fan can have. The memory still lingers 20 years later. After waiting so long, it was an incredible feeling. Hopefully next time the end result will be better.

Bills running backs have gained over 1000 yards in each of the past two seasons. The problem with the O-Line is not run blocking it is in pass blocking. Spiller will be just fine running the ball.

First let me say that it's good to read a post here that isn't full of doom and gloom. I too like what the new regime is doing. I think the team will be better both offensively and defensively, but in reality who knows what that will translate to in terms of won lost record. And to the bozo that suggested we wait to see a couple of pre-season games, are you kidding me? Pre-season games? Do you really think pre-season games will give any indication of what kind of team this will be? I had to laugh at that one. I am always hopeful that the Bills will win each and every week and this year will be no different. It has been very frustrating watching this team the past few years, so let's hope that at least they will be a bit more entertaining to watch. As for record, who knows? Anything is possible from playoffs to complete bust. Only time will tell, but again, it is a pleasure to read a post with some optimism instead of all the doom and gloom.

There's a great opportunity for Buffalo Bills QB Brian Brohm (and Trent Edwards) to hit the reset button on their careers this offseason, since the new Chan Gailey regime is taking over in Buffalo. Edwards is who we thought he was, but although he's not the most exciting choice, it seems as though he'll wind up as the man under center this fall. That said, Brohm will have the chance to make his case this summer, and recently, he was taking first-team reps in both 7-on-7 drills and full-bore 11-on-11's as well, per Mark Gaughan of the Buffalo News. Giving his appraisal of the Bills' QB picture as it stands on Monday, Sal Maiorana of the Democrat and Chronicle reiterated his prediction that Edwards will be the starter for the Bills this season, but he is holding out hope that Brohm will one day show some of the talent that convinced the Packers to use a second-round pick on him in 2008. ESPN's John Clayton thinks that confidence could be the issue with Brohm: John Clayton Destined for the UFL? "It was pretty clear in Green Bay that Matt Flynn, a seventh-round choice, looked better than Brohm. That was noticeable from the first minicamp in Green Bay. It's hard to say what went wrong so far with Brohm. He seemed to lack confidence in the opportunities he has had. That's one of the problems in the NFL. If you don't grab those opportunities, they'll get away from you, and all of a sudden you find yourself on a UFL roster hoping to get back into the NFL."

I couldn't disagree more. This team has too many holes and in rounds 2-7 the front office did a good job of addressing needs at DT, LB, WR, LT and DE. Clausen would not have made this team a winner because they just had too many holes to fill. QB is a high risk position in the draft and I like the way this team addressed every other area of need. Spiller is a playmaker who will help them score points, which is sorely needed. Most of the other guys will help the D, particularly against the run. No way would I have taken Clausen in the second round.

Trent needs to shut up and do something on the field to prove Kelly wrong. Until he does, Kelly has every right to criticize him . I'm sure Jim Kelly would be the first one to praise him if he actually did something good on the field, but so far, three years and absolutely nothing. So put up or shut up Mr. Edwards. His comment though say a lot about his menatality. It isn't that he's played horribly, it's that "some people aren't going to like you or the way you play". What a tool.

The sky is falling. We suck. We will always suck. The front office sucks. The players suck. The city sucks. We should have drafted every player we didn't draft. We should have signed every free agent that we didn't sign. Blah, blah, blah, blah f***ing blah.

Great Post. Now we don't need to bother reading the board. You have pretty much covered everything that people will B word about. Of course they will find other things, or just expand on bitching about those things that you already covered. Made me laugh and usually this board just pisses me off.

And your point? Bledsoe was a bust in Dallas and he was clearly finished as a QB. The fact that Losman didn't pan out doesn't change that. Bledsoe was not the answer at that point. Players very often question management decisions and most of the time they are proven wrong. It was time to give Losman his shot.

I live in Newfoundland and we don't get ESPN at all. When I first moved here I missed it, mostly because I was used to watching Sportscenter a couple of times a day. We have TSN, the sister station here and we get the ESPN programming through that. Not all, but some. The ESPN draft coverage was on TSN here. They cut away for hockey coverage on Thursday night, then didn't show the Saturday coverage at all. Gotta say, I agree with everyone here. The NFL network coverage was way better. I watched it even when the ESPN coverage was on here. I flipped to ESPN a couple of times, but found their coverage boring. Corey Chavous is the man. He really impressed me with how well prepared he was and his analysis was off the charts. Good job NFLN and after living here for almost 8 years, I don't miss ESPN at all. They are a bunch of blowhards in almost every sport they cover.

If it makes you feel any better, Scouts Inc. ranked Buffalo 12th out of 32. Most of these grades really mean nothing at this point. This was a team with lots of holes and they addressed the O-Line, the D-Line, Linebacker, Running Back, QB and WR. All were positions of need, and I believe they got guys that can play in each instance. Time will tell, but I definitely like the approach that they took.

Starks went to GB in round six.

Toby Gerhart is a stud. He will dominate in the NFL. A straight ahead power runner. He doesn't dance, just blasts through the line and runs over linebackers. If he is there in the third, grab him.

Maybe if you could figure out which conference the team plays in, then your opinion might be more meaningful. The Bills play in the AFC East, not the NFC. Nice thought about stopping the run though.

And you are of course basing your opinion on your expert scouting skills. This guy was a stud in both high school and college and I believe he could be in the pros as well. Thus far, he has started exactly one game, so there clearly is not enough evidence of what kind of pro player he can be. Let's let the coaches do their job. Maybe once we see him a few times there will be evidence of what kind of player he can be. Green Bay clearly thought he could become something as they matched Buffalo's offer for him last year. They tried to hide him on the practice squad and it backfired on them.

It's called sarcasm. Look it up since you are so brilliant. And by the way read my post. I never claimed to be smarter than you. I just happen to disagree with your brilliant "opinion". Deal with it.

Wow, maybe they should make you the Head Coach and GM. You obviously have much more experience and knowledge than these guys do. How come you're not employed as someone's HC or GM? Maybe it's because you have no idea what you are talking about. Just a thought.

He won't move up solely on the basis of this workout. This workout will prove that he is healthy. That could cause him to move up based on his career at Oklahoma and knowing that he is healthy.

Wow. So I guess they might as well not show up this year. Why don't we just forfeit all 16 games and get the first pick next year automatically. What a load of garbage. The Bills were clearly a bad team last year. Do any of us know to what level they will perform this coming year? Absolutely not. We can guess all we want, but the truth is none of us knows what the final roster will look like or how the team will perform until the season starts. Til then it's just idle speculation. So relax it's just too early to tell and that is reality.

Well I respect your opinion, I just respectfully disagree. Although I didn't care that much for the female agent character in "Saints 2", I thought overall the movie worked in the same type of way that the first one did. It was funny and in line with the tone of the first one. Just like with other subjects on this board, we all have our own opinions and yours is worth just as much as mine. Take care.

You obviously didn't "get" the movie. Both Boondock Saints movies are supposed to be a bit tongue in cheek. You can't take them literally or you are missing the point.

Not sure if anyone has posted this, but I didn't see it, so I thought I would give it a shot. Here's the link to Scott Carasik's latest 7 round mock draft. Some interesting picks for sure. http://www.westsportsreport.com/nfl/carasikmock-3-11-2010 Not sure I agree with his picks, but it makes for some interesting thought anyway. What do you think.

Just so you know, Smith was scheduled to be the starter for Baltimore the year they drafted Flaco. He got an infection and went on IR. He did not lose the job to Flaco. Flaco got the job after Smith went on IR.

You are wasting your time trying to reason with these people. I posted something similar awhile back about all the negativity being boring and I got hammered. They just don't get it. I wasn't saying that people don't have the right to complain and I don't think you were either. What I was getting at was that criticizing every single thing that the team does or doesn't do gets annoying and boring. Everyone has a right to their opinion, but it almost seems like most of these people actually hate the Bills, which in my opinion does not make them "fans", but more like "critics". I don't understand or agree with some things the team has done either, but I try to hope for the best, rather than always predict the worst. I don't think any of us can say for sure that we absolutely know what the right moves are and we all certainly are entitled to our own opinions, but just remember, they are just that, opinions and no one person's is worth more than someone else's. I'm not talking about blind optimism. I'm just saying that as fans we all want the same thing. We want the Bills to win. So when offering criticism, maybe offer an alternative suggestion. Just saying "The Bills suck and they will continue to suck." isn't very interesting to most people.

I still like Pike from Cincinnati better than LeFevour. When they played head to head, I was more impressed with Pike. I saw him several times this year and never saw him have a bad game. He could probably be had in the 3rd or 4th round and in my opinion would be a better pick.
