Unacceptable. With our first two picks we should have gotten 3 LBs and 2 WRs. And a punter. And longsnapper depth. We're DOOOOOOOOOMED!
-
That's really crappy, but it was probably just someone who had his cell phone number and decided to punk him.

I didn't know much about this kid before last night, but from what I've read, I like him. There are very few sure things in life and the NFL Draft, but there are many signs Gilmore will be successful. He's smart, mature, graduated high school early to enroll in time for spring practices at South Carolina and started as a true freshman. He's been described as stoic and soft-spoken, so what many read as a lack of excitement on his face last night was really just his reserved personality. Kinda like Mario, I guess. Still waters can run very deep.
Looking forward to the rest of the draft and this season!

Wow. That's a team in desperation mode. To completely change the team's direction on a whim in the first round? Glad it ain't us. Oh, wait, we drafted Gilmore, so according to many on this board, that automatically makes us 0-16 for the upcoming season and soon after that, the LA Bills.

I see the apologists are out in full swing
This is a horrible pick at a non impact position by a team going no where
What has drafting DBs early in the draft done for this team the last decade?
Actually, I think the pissers and moaners are out in even more full force. What should we have done? Addressed each and every position of need with one pick?
-
Good pick. We didn't need the boozebag from South Bend.

Luke Russert's Mom was the one who tweeted that "Mario Williams was leaving the hotel on day 2 and everyone went into a panic that we didn't get the deal done...the joke since then is that Luke Russert's Mom has been involved in every decision the Bills have made since she made this "valuable" observation.
Yeah, I think if you missed it the first time around but go back and actually read through the Mario Williams thread, you'll see the origins of just about every inside joke on this board for the next few years.
-
Yeah, either way I'm looking forward to watching the first 10 picks unfold tonight. I was stuck at a work event out of town last year for the draft, so I kept checking my phone constantly. I feel there was a lot less drama and uncertainty last year with having the #3 pick, we knew we would basically end up with one of three studs.
-
Sideways? So the #10 pick in the NHL draft? Interesting strategy...
-
A good center is like a good catcher. They need to have smarts for the game and a good relationship with their battery mate. You hope to get a good one and keep him for a long time, ie Jeff Saturday. Freak injuries aside, I believe Wood can be that for us.
-
I hate to say I told you so.... But that one team everyone thought would win the Super Bowl next February? Well, I've been saying from the beginning that another team would actually win it.
Book it, done.
I am a wizard.
-
Ouch. That's some Tom Clancy sh*t right there.
-
I'm as cynical as anyone, but lordy, with the changes to the defense we've already had this offseason, if we actually get a healthy Merriman back on top of all that? We could be one of the greatest stories in the league next year.
-
How can an organization go into yet another season with only one guy who can compete in the NFL and a questionable one at that?
How many people were asking that question in Indianapolis before last year?
-
I'm no statistician, but 16 games is such a small number in terms of being a sample size, you're probably going to find something weirdly lopsided in everyone's schedule.
-
Great thread. I think it's now clear what we need to do. Why bother drafting anyone at all? Boycott the draft, then Buddy can take the money the franchise saves on airfare and hotel and upgrade the urinal troughs.
-
Great idea. That's about what I ended up paying for it anyway after calling every summer to "cancel."
-
The Repo Men. They come when you don't pay the Bills. And they REPOssess your things. Like the ball, for instance.

Per Mark Gaughan on the Billboard blog at buffalonews.com on the lack of prime time games:
"I'm surprised the Bills didn't get a Monday night game. However, Bills CEO Russ Brandon says the networks hate to come to Orchard Park for prime-time games because the stadium isn't wired for high-definition television, and it creates a lot of extra set-up work for them. That's one of the issues that needs to be addressed in the proposed stadium renovation. The NFL Network will have to deal with it for the Thursday night game vs. Miami on Nov. 15."
That sounds kind of BS-ish to me. I'm sure the stadium isn't "wired" for some things, but every single game I saw from the Ralph last year on Sunday Ticket was in brilliant high definition.

Nix and his team are incredible experts on the draft. They've done all sorts of studies on all the positions. They know the key indicators of success and have fully vetted the top maybe 250, 350 players in the country. Who ever #10 turns out to be, I won't pretend that I can intelligently second-guess Nix. (Though I might do it anyway just for fun).
This is a great point. We've had a good offseason, and I think Nix's approval rating is high, so it's not like people are bashing him left and right. But no matter what you think of him and his team, these guys are world-class talent evaluators. You simply don't rise to this level if you're not. Mock drafts are fun and a good way to pass the time, but they're ultimately useless, and like you, I won't ever pretend to know or understand more than a high-ranking NFL executive. I don't necessarily know on-field talent when I see it, but I know the "baby" Nix talks about when I see it, and I hope we see it very soon.

Meaningful games in December will sell out. We as a fanbase are so starved for success, it will happen. If the games are meaningful. Guaranteed.
-
Put it this way, it probably pisses them off more than it does us, it's not like they usually need it.
Exactly. That's the typical chowderhead response.

All this talk about a "marquee" game in Toronto is nonsense. The NFL and Bills know they made a mistake putting the Dolphins and Jets games in Toronto. The last two years it's been NFC teams, and that's what I expect to occur again this season. Seattle or St. Louis are coming to Toronto. Seattle makes the most sense.
Seattle actually makes a ton of sense given their similar proximity to the border, albeit on the west coast.

Do you go to games? It is like a sardine can in the concourses pre-game and half time. It's at least uncomfortable and inconvenient, and at worst dangerous. This renovation is badly needed.
PTR
Yes, and "expanding" the footprint by building outside the stadium and covering those areas will widen concourse inside, but also I think expand access points outside, maybe keep the gates from getting to congested at noon-12:30 when everyone's headed in.
