You know what's the difference between Jerry Jones and Ralph Wilson?
Super Bowl Rings.
-
were you talking about Manning or Kelly?
He's obviously talking about Manning.
The last few drafts have not been Polian's best. He's been an NFL GM since 1986 and before that won CFL championships with multiple teams.
Over the course of the last 30+ years, it's certain he has made some mistakes. No one would argue that - it's impossible to hit on every pick.
The bottom line is that he has a proven history of doing a better job of amassing talent on his teams than his competitors.

Cam Newton would probably make a better NFL running back than CJ Spiller
-
Carson Palmer sucks, he never was good again after Kimo blew up his knee and basically destroyed their whole rising franchise in that one playoff game.
Fitzpatrick should start the rest of the year, and stay around in the future to mentor the new kid and be a valuable reserve.
Looking at him as a franchise QB is just blind fan optimism.

Week 3 @ NE - 92.4 - (High rating)
Week 4 vs NYJ - 83.6 - (Average rating)
Week 5 vs JAC - 121.5 - (High rating)
Week 7 @ BAL - 106.2 - (High rating)
Week 8 @ KC - 61.4 - (Low rating)
3 Good games. One average game. One bad game.
And everyone is lining up to tar and feather the guy.
Even the elite QBs throw together a bad sometimes. But Fitzpatrick? He's not allowed to. He has to be perfect. All the time.
You guys are ridiculous.
Here is a brief history of games in which Ryan Fitzpatrick saw most of the action. For each year, a summary is given of how many Good, Marginal, and Bad games he had.
2005
1 Good, 3 Bad
2006
None
2007
None
2008
3 Good, 2 Marginal, 6 Bad
2009:
2 Good, 3 Marginal, 4 Bad
2010:
3 Good, 1 Marginal, 1 Bad

He's not a fan, I thought that was established long ago with his trollish ways.
I am a fan. I know I've been to more games than most posters on this board. I just think that getting the top draft pick is the best chance for this organization to turn it around.

I don't think that it is a knee jerk reaction after this week's loss to say that Ryan Fitzpatrick is not a franchise QB. I think that it was an overly optimistic knee jerk reaction in the first place by some to think Fitzpatrick should be the future of the franchise.
I like the guy, and think he's a great competitor. I think he should finish out the season as the starter, and stay around to mentor the new kid coming in and serve as a valuable reserve. I just can't get on board with the idea of passing up our best opportunity to land a real franchise QB with the number one pick in the draft.

How about Moorman's awful shank near the end of OT to set up the game losing drive?

bobobonators:
Wow.
Know when to say when.
-
The main positive to me is that the Bills continue to control their own draft destiny.
-
Wow, sorry to inconvenience Lindell. Sorry that we couldn't put the ball on the 20 yd line for him. Out of range my ass. It wasn't out of range when he drilled it down the middle the first time. It's CHOKING when you have to do it when it counts and you miss it. I love lindell, but you fail to acknowledge that the game could've DIRECTLY been won right there at that moment. THAT is choking. I don't see how THAT is confusing. When fitz threw the INT, there were still several plays that we wouuld've had to have played in order to possibly win the game, being that we weren't even in FG range yet.
Okay - what do you think the realistic percentage chance that Lindell has to make that kick in those windy conditions? Maybe 30%?
The coaches understand that is a low percentage attempt. They all know he's going to miss that kick a fair amount of the time.
Trying to blame this on Lindell is really a bit silly.
-
You make it sound like he's fumbled every game he's played in.
Oh come on now.
He clearly has some ball security issues.
That's not to say he can't get them corrected, but I sure hope it's something the coaches are working on with him.
-
Kelsay's position is not designed to generate a lot of tackles in this scheme, he is more of a containment guy.
-
you really don't get it?
let me spell it out for you: the original post is p--u--r--e b--u--l--l--s--h--i--t.
You shouldn't bypass the profanity filter.

No my friend, it's called "choking" when Lindell drills it down the middle on the first attempt, and then misses the second. That was the game right there. Period.
Nope. That was a very low percentage field goal attempt. A long kick in very windy conditions is not one he is usually going to make. No one expects him to make that most of the time. Lindell has never been a long range guy, anyways. He has an amazing percentage inside of 40 yards and that is his primary value as a kicker. I don't see how that is confusing.
However, the expectation is there for Fitzpatrick to not just lose control of the ball and gently loft it right to the other team.
-
Did anyone else notice that New England was starting FOUR rookies on defense?
-
Kelsay played a solid game. No one else could tackle them, either.
-
As much as it sucks to lose, we are almost better off getting a better draft pick at this point. Not saying try to lose games, but don't cut your wrists when they do.

Welcome to the Dark side.
-
In fairness to Kelsay, Matt Cassel does have some devastating moves.
-
Was it called "choking" when he drove the team down the field, on the road, for a game-tying TD? Was that choking? Or was it choking when Lindell missed the game-winning FG?
No. Perhaps my post wasn't clear enough for you.
It was called "choking" when he floated up an awful interception in the clutch moment.
-
The Bills have a tough schedule. They also have a bad team.
These two factors combine to produce a winless football team.
It's not like it has to be just one or the other. If the Bills had a softer schedule they might have a win or two at this point.
-
I'm not sure I understand your point.
Obviously Charles is a much better NFL back than Spiller.
Also, Walter Payton is better than Spiller.
-
How can you say the ball slipping out of his hand was somehow "not his fault"? Well then whose fault was it?
It's called "choking". The game was on the line and he made a mistake lost his grip on the ball. Mistakes happen, but it's definitely his fault. He wouldn't try to blame it anyone either, let him own it.
I support Fitzpatrick as the QB for the rest of the season, and retaining him as a future depth player. I just want to see them draft a new QB with true potential to build around
