"No Pro Bowlers" says it all!

Wasn't Jim Kelly a first rounder?

However, LA wants TWO teams! (I live here)

I was at that game. But the most embarassing has to be losing to the expansion seahawks in their first year 56 to 17. Our coach, Jim Ringo, quit at halftime, and the players had to convince him to come out for the 2nd half.

I admit I was wrong about: - Chan: seems to be a really good head coach - Lee Evans: is not missed as the young WR's are stepping up - OLine: has been amazing (no sacks in 2 games and great holes for the RB's) Still it is only 3 games in - long way to go. But since we still have not seen anything from last year's draft (Spiller, Troupe, Carrington, ..) and aside from Dareus, very little help from this year's draft i am not yet sold on Buddy.

Some people have lives aside from reading every single post that comes up on this site. If you knew it was redundant, you did not have to read it.

My take is that again we took many DB’s – it seems such a waste to draft DB’s just to replace players who did not pan out (McKelvin, Whitner…) or whom we can/do not resign (Winfield, Clements, Greer, Florence). I also would not have taken a running back at all – we have 2 good ones and they are a dime a dozen. What I would have done is totally stock up on LB’s – which in a 3-4 are the heart of the defense and of which you can never have enough 1. Dareus - no brainer – BPA and total position of need 2. Akeem Ayers or traded down for a team looking for QB – Don’t like the selection of Aaron Williams 3. Martez Wilson 4. Luke Stocker or Casey Matthews 5A. Ricky Stanszi or Jacquizz Rodgers 5B. Like Hairston Pick 6. Quan Sturdivant 7. OK with picks – those are crap shoots With this draft we would have had a totally stud LB corps. Additional notes: 1. I am glad the Nix learned his lesson and is drafting players from LSU, Bama, Texas instead of Arkansas State & Central Florida. 2. Our defense being good is being predicated on Troup and Carrington becoming ‘players’; but I saw no evidence of that last year. 3. I assume that McCargo (McCarGone)and Maybin (has been) are not long for the NFL. Go ahead and criticize!

They had a ton of picks and seemed to a) reach on most of them b) did not address their biggest areas of need. Not sure why they traded out of Ingram to get a gut nobody heard of. Mallet though was a solid pick for them

I like the pick (first time I have said that in years!) Big Player from major conference - great combo of player's rating and Bills' need. So glad did not take a QB.

1. Dareus 2. Mallett 3. Q Sturdivant

I know it is shoulda coulda woulda but.. In 2004, we traded up to Losman Had we used the extra picks to trade up just THREE spots, we could have had Rothlisberger In 2005, had we NOT traded up for Losman, we could have drafted Rodgers The ironic thing is that supposedly we traded up to keep Green Bay from Drafting him On another point, it kills me seeing all of these 1st and 2nd year players start and conribute on super bowl teams (Quarles, Matthews, Raji, Bulaga,...) especially since we could have had most of them, and our draftees can not even dress during the regular season

1. around 1970, getting candy from Paul Guidry while trick or treating 2. being invited in to Jim Schonfeld's house and getting $5 while collecting for charity in 1973 3. Seeing OJ walk out of Ralph's box at Rich Stadium in September 1980 when his number was retired, punching him in his arm and telling him "hey man, you are still the greatest" (pre-murder) 4. As a 14 year old during the blizzard of 1977, accidentally walking into a Buffalo Braves practice at the Jewish Center and having the coach Tates Locke, ask if we wanted to help out. Of course we said yes. So he asked me to "go shag some balls for AD" (dantley). My brother was shooting around with Randy Smith, and Randy was making fun of his shooting style. 5. In 1977, I was on a cross country teen trip and we were staying at the same hotel in San Diego as all of the old-timers from the 1950 Dodgers-Giants game. All weekend, we hung out with Bobby Thomson, Ralph Branca, Pee Wee Reese (tried on his world series ring),.... Also saw Don newcombe, Don Black, Willie Mays, ... 6. A few years ago, a client hired Reggie Jackson to hang out at their event. However, only a few people showed up. So, I sat right next to Reggie for 1 1/2 hours with 4 other people, while he regaled us with stories (mostly off-color).

I would today and we could have in the draft by trading down (Yes I know you need a trading partner, but New England always finds one)

if the Bills had not drafted at all in 2010. the team would have been no different and would have had the same record. i.e. not a single player from the draft had any impact the entire season! I see rookies contributing on all of the playoff teams but not on a 4-12 Bills team. what makes anybody think that a) any of the 2010 draftees will blossom in 2011 b) our so-called "build through the draft" will lead to better results in the future
