Steve O

Agree with all your points, especially the highlighted. Even the super bowl Bills got killed in KC during the regular season (twice I think) before returning the favor at home during the playoffs.

I'm guessing McCargo gets cut before Maybin...no shortage of first round busts

Next year would be the fourth. How could I forget about Edwards so quickly?...if only I could forget about this past decade as just as fast...

In spite of (in case no one noticed) swirling winds all day Fitz managed to throw for over 200 and run for another 40+. As has been pointed out by several on this thread, we are not losing games because of QB play. He deserves to play out the season and see how he develops. Spending another first round pick on QB would mean in the past 12 years we would have spent 4 firsts, 1 second, 1 fourth, and 1 fifth round pick at qb. Not to mention a seventh this year. I really like Ricky Stanzi of Iowa. Should be available at the top of the fourth. 19 td's vs 2 int this year. Good size and decent feet. Comes from a winning tradition. We'd be able to address more pressing needs in with the first three picks, and not invest too much to a top pick. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=188298

Patents are both expensive and time consuming. Click below (or copy and paste into your browser if the link isn't working), might give you some ideas for getting stimulus money. A friend of mine's sister got like 5K to start a candle company, she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer and her candles are ugly, if she got money it can't be that difficult. Good Luck. http://www.governmentgrants.com/business-grants/business-start-up-grants

slow nite...bought 45 big bars, have 38 left.

I'm getting numb to it

The predecessor of the colonoscopy was the Barium xray. You didn't drink the white crap the night before, you took 4 tblsp of castor oil. Talk about disgusting, would rather have 4 gallons of the white crap then 4 tblsp of castor oil. As for the xray itself, most pain I've ever been in (and I had Eric Woods compound fracture injury in 76). That was enough to get me to change a meat and potatoes based diet to a fruit and vegetable based diet.

The drugs were indeed great but they have a terrible side affect...they wear off!! (not until the next day though

If Mike Williams worked as hard as Maybin he would have been at least serviceable as he showed last year for Washington until injured. Maybin tries hard, he just isn't a very good football player. Not sure who this makes the bigger bust but at least the coaches found a way to get Williams on the field.

No, we spent that pick on Whhitner (albeit couple years earlier...)

Please don't interject common sense into the discussion.

I've never really slammed him, certainly not here, just always figured we knew what we have in Fitz, a decent backup, nothing more. And yes, given his play today as well as all season I am starting to reconsider this opinion.

Yeah, NYS would never support a vessle to go from Rochester to Toronto with no business plan either...

My niece is a third year law student at BC. My brother assures me she isn't pregnant so presumably it is one of her classmates.

My brother went down when the Sabres lost to the Hurricanes...tailgaiting was great because the game was filled with Buffalo fans, Carolina couldn't even sell out a conference final game.

Memories of when the FO could actually find talent in the later rounds...Patton was an eigth round pick in 1990, Mike Lodish (who's played in more super bowls then anyone I believe) in the tenth. Pretty sure Patton's mother played in some women's pro football league, recall once reading where he would ask her for advice! Anyways nice article.

Indeed the sober Steve O on work nights, bad Steve O only comes out on weekends these days (home games the weekends extend to Monday)

Never said he looked good, said ok, which at the time he did, scramble for a fist, couple short passes for firsts but they were at least in front of the LOS. If you insist on trashing other posts please quote correctly.

actually looking ok

Every Satuday & Sunday April-Sepetember (unless the Bills have a home game) plus once every 2-3 weeks during the work week. Whenever possible March and October.

Sure, I always over buy. Have to get back to it, fortunately caught a nice day:-)

The timing works out well as I am (really) hosting a clam bake today...since no Bills game=no tail gate thought I would leave myself Sunday to recover and show up clear headed to work on Monday for a change. One question...we're still in daylight savings time, was the EST a typo?

This keeps things in perspective. Football is, after all, just a game. Most of our lives would not be that much different if the Bills record was reversed, though it would make Sunday afternoons a bit more fun.

Holmes needed money for his brother's murder defense (among other things I'm sure).
