Let's just put it this way. Either Jimmy Spags is going to be on Jersey Shore in a few weeks, or he is pretty much this guy http://encyclopediadramatica.com/So_cash

So tell me, with your vast knowledge of football skills, and eye for talent, for which NFL team do you scout? Maybe, we let the kid play in a game (even a preseason game) before we s*** all over them. Just a thought, no?

No other teams are on a 16 week tryout year. Also, I think some of it (i.e. Wood/Bell) are because the two of them are coming off pretty bad injuries. I think it is a great idea, and hopefully he starts doing it with Maybin/Carrington/Moats/Troupe so that we know what we have and what we need by the end of the year.

Schedule, that is all. Chiefs and their fans are in for a rude awakening, very soon. They have played a schedule with a combined record of 1-8.

Calm down and learn how to take a joke big guy, I am sure FSU was a great school to attend. Just because the Raiders took Russell #1 doesn't really speak that much to his talent, though I am of the mind that he had it, and wasted it. Also, in your haste to attack me for ripping on Russell, I did mention that I think Ponder is very good, I just hope that we have our Qb situation figured out before it is time to pick him.

3 Weeks, that's it. It's been 3 weeks. Not even a month.

I take offense to that, I am the only mouthbreather making fun of FSU, and it's cause I really don't like them. Also, the Jimbo Fisher thing isn't that much of a vote of confidence when the last place he was QB's coach produced JellyCheeseRoll Russell. Ponder is good, but I hope we have our QB figured out before we have to go that route.

The biggest rule of drafting, is never take a Florida State Seminole QB early.

You are missing that this is basically a transition year. There are no delusions of this team making the playoffs this year, it is one big, 16 week tryout. Everyone talks about how we had 3 years of film on Trent, if film told the whole story, Ryan Leaf would have been a 10 time MVP. You have to see what you can work with, which is what we did. Trent showed what he could do in Preseason/Training Camp, then showed what he always does in regular season, so we got rid of him. It is an evaluation year, I don't know why people can't seem to grasp this. Chan is evaluating what he has, right now, with his own eyes. Which happens to be the only way to do it correctly. As far as the draft, Troupe is playing, and his role will increase as the season goes on. Easley got injured, but he was going to get his PT this year. Wang will get PT this year, and we will have four of our 9 draft picks contributing, and probably 5 if you add in Carrington. Rebuilding is a process, it takes time, everyone just needs to step off of the ledge.

Wait, so are you saying that Easley is in fact a bust without stepping on the field? This whole thing is insane. This regime has had one draft and three games so far. Three games into last year, no one had ever seen Jairus Byrd play a snap. Does that mean that he was a complete bust. I get the frustration, it's been a long decade, but everyone needs to step back from the ledge. Rebuilding the right way takes more than one offseason and three weeks. Our draft picks will start playing, Wang is getting better, Carrington will see the field more, as will Troupe. Then we will have 4 of our 9 draft picks playing in their rookie year, and contributing. I think that makes it a successful draft.

He is the best throwing Safety in football right?

While not every play, Troupe is on the field, and with the way Easley looked early, they were saying he would have been on the field if not injured. Them are the breaks. Still takes 3 years to evaluate a draft.

Exactly, it doesn't matter what happened, if the coverage team did what they were supposed to, that would have been a stupid failed gadget play that no one remembers.

With possibly the sole exception of the Pittsburg Penguins, I will agree with this.

Yes, Buddy Nix is an awful GM because he let this years Gibran Hamden go. The kid had a good preseason, against #3's. He is going to be a serviceable RB, but there was no way he would see the field this year, so good for him.

Well good work, you really showed those stupid optimistic Bills fans.

Why don't we just get a new GM and coach every two games. I'm sure all the armchair generals here could do it. Or maybe it takes time, and maybe Rome wasn't built in a day, who knows. People have to decide if they want to win 6-8 games a year and no playoffs. Or if they can bear a few awful years, or at least one, to get back to the feelings of the 90s. I guess I'm saying everyone step back from the edge. We have talent, but we need a lot more. Don't blow it up or it will just take longer.

Come on, you aren't allowed to say that. This team is worse than most pop Warner teams, believe me I read it on this Board. It can't be that we have a new system and it takes time to get used to it. Who cares that we ran the ball well, and stopped the run Okay as well. Wish everyone would step off the ledge. That being said, it's time for a QB shakeup I think.

Don't care if he laid him out. Ball hits your hands, you catch it. He did take another look downfield, and actually stepped up in the pocket. Just happened to be no pocket to step into. Even as a pretty good Trent fan, it's time to move on. Let's see what someone else can do, and see if it is the line or the QB play.

Face it, the coaches demeanor doesn't mean shite. I can go on the sidelines and yell, doesn't mean anything. We looked good for a bit this game. Trent played like crap, but he hit his wr in the hands on two picks that lead to scores, else the game is different. Our d looked great against a super bowl contender. No one actually cares about a coach who yells, just who can game plan. We had a good plan going in, but can't block and apparently can't catch. Well turn it around, just not to salvage the season. Go Bills.

Part of that points more to our consistently revolving door of coaches and GM's. When you consistently have new coaches coming in, they all want to make their own mark on the team. That means things like Pat Williams, Jabari Greer, Antoine Winfield et al getting the boot. We hit on a lot of our drafts over the past 10 years, we just don't keep them because by the time those guys are hitting their prime, we have a different coach with no loyalty to them. I also think this is a big part of the problem of luring FA's here. I also think that obviously all of those issues are alleviated by winning, but I think that you can't underscore how much firing Wade, and to a lesser extent Mularky leaving had on the long term viability of this team over the last 10 years.

In a heartbeat

I wonder why my office got so dusty all of the sudden.
