Beebe's Kid

I'd have taken a Von Kaiser...to be Glass Joe is humiliating.

I was tough on him. Not as much here as on other boards, but I was tough on him. He looked good today, and I really like the knee after the score. Well done, Steven. Well done.

The Bills are not to be taken seriously. What they need to do is trade Byrd, count on people like Colin Brown, and make sure that the fans side against paying good players and for saving money, while spending $100/ticket, $10/beer, and $35/hat...then this will all turn around. It will magically happen and you will all be saved the embarrassment of being a Bills fan, and being complicit in the shitshow. Don't worry...it will happen, and remember, if you don't show up, they'll move, and you'll have nothing to hate.

This thread is classic. Unfettered love for Stevie is amazing. The guy has literally cost us wins on multiple occasions. The guy that is the #1 WR...I don't recall him every really catching a ball that he shouldn't have had. Nothing spectacular out of him, only grabbing the ones that he should. Yet, there is a ferocious defending of him every time he blows a game...which is indicative of an issue in and of itself. The guy is a decent player, and he is a #1 on a 6 win football team. That is it. A team that wins 10 games? Not so much. We see the consequences of letting Levitre walk. If SJ left town, he would be missing the big drop at the end of the game.

Not being a man of faith, I have to ask if there is an allotment of things that you are allowed to pray for? Is this really something that you would call on your god for? If you are sick and tired of Bills fans clinging to feel good stories, what are you going to do if they win? That will be a feel-good story, as the Bills are just a football team. It won't cure cancer, or feed children... It is nice to see that somebody...anybody...was willing to be the grown up in the room and say that Bills fans shouldn't feel good. If there is one thing that I have noticed it is that there aren't enough negative pricks in these forums. We need more people like you to rub keep brining up that they Bills haven't been good in a long time, and that it has been one abysmal failure after another...I almost completely forgot, and was going to get excited about the prospects of competing this year. If there is anything that we don't need, it is hope, or happiness. We need to be serious and disappointed all of the time. We only have one life to live, and if you go around having fun or being happy all of the time, you are missing the point. I do find it, at least mildly, amusing that the brave posters are willing to complain about lack of talent, bad drafts, poor coaching, blah blah blah blah, until they mention Fitz. They make it sound like he had the world handed to him when he strolled into Buffalo. I am not counting last year, when the Super Bowl was ours for the taking if only Fitz didn't screw it all up by playing through injuries, and figuring out a way to get rid of the football at a record pace...I mean when he got a clean snap that is. I am tired of him holding us back, too, and if he doesn't do it this year, we should go back to looking for a QB, because there are a ton of them out there, and if it isn't every year that some new 22 year old wins the SB. A lot of QBs have played this game and never won, or been to a Super Bowl. There are "franchise," a term that is nonsensical to me, QBs who didn't even make the Playoffs every year, but yet if Fitz doesn't do all of that this year, he is scrap? The search for things to talk about has drug us to new lows, and the quest for something to piss and moan about even lower. XOXO, BBK

I don't think Byrd is looking for the interceptions from his rookie year... I think he would love to have them, so people that obsess over them start to recognize that he is developing into one of the best safeties in the NFL. I understand that picks are sexy, but I don't understand how so many people have the impression that Byrd has taken a step back...or even not a gigantic step forward. The guys is a great player, and is probably closer to #53 on my list. I am not worried about him doing his job, and doing it well. There was also a funny thing that happened last year...Fitz played really well...took a monster hit from London Fletcher, then lost it... I also don't understand why there is some question of Fitzy's ability. His protection fell to **** around the same time, and he had one receiver in a 5-wide that was even worth mentioning...that's not fair, Nelson was very good too, but you know what I am saying. The guy was hurt. Yes I am a homer, and I kind of like that we have a smart QB, but this should be clear to people who watched the Bills play before they pontificated on a message board. Fitz was very good...until the hit and the injury bug that hit the OL. Freddie is a great player, but I think that sleeping on CJ would be a mistake. The guy is a special athlete, and I don't think we have any worries at that position. Our D is going to be much improved, and deeper. We will see some mistakes out of our CBs, but they are young, and that is bound to happen. The key to this team is going to be the OL and WR. We now have some depth at OL, and if we luck out at LT we are going to surprise people. The WR thing is going to be a sticking point. We do not have a WR on the roster who can bail Fitzy out of a bad throw, and make a catch they shouldn't have. What we do have is a bunch of guys that will drop ones they should have had...even Stevie. I hope that Graham is the guy they thought he was when they picked him. Either way, it is nice to contemplate the Bills being a good team, and not be completely rooted on a hope and a prayer. There is talent in Buffalo now, and there are good coaches. This season should be fun to watch.

Wow...that would be a sweatheart of a deal, wouldn't it? You'd have to hope that somebody was asleep at the wheel in Philly, I suppose, or that they have a Tebowner for the guy at that spot. Stranger things have happened, I guess....

I don't get why the Ralph has to move. Invigorate downtown? 73,000 of your closes friends...oh yeah, and over half of this crowd is heavily intoxicated...I can just see how all the people who piss in the woods will go over when their in the city. If you think that there will be five minutes of the shennanigans that goes on in the parking lots now...please...stop, you'll only get hurt worse when you get to the Taj Mahal, and the parking lots all look like work camps, complete with new security who doesn't want to get the new place dirty, further perpetuated by their barely meeting the standard of 4 port-o-potties per 10,000 people...just enough to keep them from being sanctioned by the UN. Same traffic situation? Impossible. There is a big lake on one side of downtown. That immediately eliminates roads coming in from all directions...and like the old proverb says "less road in...less road out." Author's Note: I don't consider the bridges a road, per se. Roof? !@#$ that. My biggest problem? If they build a stadium downtown, you would hope they would increase capacity, but...there again...traffic, more drunk people, terrible parking made increasingly worse. But the big problem for me would be the PSL that I would have to buy. That and I have decent seats...I don't want to get into a lottery and end up in an endzone or something. (No offense to those who sit/enjoy sitting in the endzone...we can't all like those seats, or else they'd cost a lot more) I guess some people consider it a little ghetto that we'll park in fields, go to games in blizzards*, have continued to pile in to a dinosaur stadium in Butt !@#$ Egypt to see a painfully bad team rip us to shreds, etc, but I guess its just kind of always been that way. Geez...I don't want to get all emotional or nothin', but the Ralph's the only place that I ever seent the Bills play...they just can't tear it down, they just can't. *For those too young to remember, in the winter time, which used to start in late August, we used to get big snow storms...other people called them blizzards, book learnt type, but they never stopped us.

!@#$...how did somebody not see this before? We've had Kirk Morrison sitting there unused, and it wasn't until you "and the boys" came up with that awesome nickname for Sheppard that anybody noticed. You're damn right about this situation. I mean, Sheppard has been playing for a few weeks now, and he's not going to the Pro Bowl...let's cut bait and go with Morrison. We should just trade all of our picks, and get aging vets like KM this season because we clearly are not going to exhibit the patience it takes to let guys develop. This is a brilliant plan!!

This thread is right on. Doctors don't know normal people. They live in pods, and are not permitted to return to the pods with their voice boxes. Especially surgeons. A few things are made fairly apparent in this thread: 1. There are very few of you that know any doctors 2. Probably even fewer have ever had a broken rib That was exactly what I though happened when I saw the replay of the Fletcher hit. On second thought, a physical limitation as a result of a huge hit he took, directly to his ribs, by an NFL linebacker is pretty far fetched. It is way more likely that when he got the contract that he just stopped caring. You can tell because everybody else on the team is healthy and playing great. It was like when he got the contract that he just didn't feel like getting over the 5 dropped passes per game. Yeah, that makes a lot more sense. !@#$ing A, buddy! If you can play high school basketball with a broken rib, why can't somebody play a little NFL football. You are a true testament to perseverance, and an inspiration to all.

My favorite kind of thread. I stuck up for Marshawn constantly when he was here. A lot of the allegations against him were flawed, at best, but everybody was sure of the terrible guy he was. Now they bash the FO for the trade. When is the Maybin thread coming? Our team has no pass rush and we gave up on 23 year old, who is a part time player and has 5 sacks. The CJ thread will be interesting when he is running and catching balls all over the !@#$ing place for some other team, and the same posters bitching today are crying that we let him go. This was a lot more fun when we were winning.

There has to be something to this...I mean they didn't ride together? Why did he say what he did? Get your !@#$ing tin-foil hat and go wait in the bunker until we get this figured out. There is something BIG here.

Christ...Holt is in an old-folks home. Housh...eh... There is a guy out there with a key to the city, and approximately 34,543,129 jerseys in WNY...I think we know what the time is.

Oh definitely. We should trade him...maybe package him and Fitz for 5th. If we can add Johnson and get a 4th, we should take it in a minute. This is one of the dumbest threads I've ever seen. DEPTH IS NOT A BAD THING TO HAVE ON A TEAM.

Trent didn't lack arm strength, he lacked conviction. To act like Trent had a weak arm because you didn't like him is absurd. The order of this list is Edwards, Fitz, Flutie... That being said: Who do you want under center when you need to drive the field and win? As of right now, I'd still say it's a toss up, and Edwards isn't at the party. Fitz is a smarter QB than Flutie, but Flutie was just so !@#$ing lucky.
