Trying to save face after shooting their mouths off all week and then getting torched by the lone winless team in the NFL.
-
The DB play is being compromised because they have to cheat up to help the front 7 on running plays. That makes them susceptible to trick plays like the flea flicker. It's a team game and players don't play in a vacuum.
PTR
How do you explain the Heap TD? He just easily sets up in between Whitner and Scott, and they just watch him catch an easy TD. Pretty piss poor. And that's not an isolated incident.
-
Since his signing bonus is a sunk cost, you might as well keep him for a while. I don't think you'll save all that much by cutting him. Might as well give it a couple more years and see if he blossoms. It doesn't really hurt to keep him, other than him being a reminder of past draft failures.
What business school did you go to? Sunk cost is just that - sunk. You don't make future spending decisions based on how much you've already put into a failing project. It makes no sense to continue spending good money after bad just because of a sunk cost. From a business perspective, if they see no hope for his future development, cut the cord asap.

I remember a QB who once was recruited as a D1 LB
Get 'r done, Ralph, at all costs! -
You have one example and that proves how he is going to handle every personnel decision?
Wow.
Hey, here's an idea - let's give him 10 years to see if he makes one personnel decision per year like that. Then we could have another lost decade before moving on to Ralph's next puppet. If you don't think we could move out of the #1 spot in the draft and get far less value than what the market would normally dictate,you just ain't been payin' attention son I've tried and i'm struggling. Help me out?
Closest I can find is Cousineau, but he left for the CFL. Upon coming back to the NFL the Bills matched the offer he was given by Houston and thus the Bills signed him. His rights were then traded for a first rounder that was used to select Jim Kelly. Which, if this is what you were referring to, was 31 years ago. He's got a pretty good streak going.
That is indeed what I was referring to. A stretch, yes, but it met the criteria for your question
-
Since your theory is "proven", just give me 10 examples where Nix has taken less than market value to make a move.
It's pretty obvious, isn't it? Lynch would be the example. And where does this proven example suddenly turn into a request for 10 such examples to validate it?
New CBA=Rookie Wage Scale, also has he ever failed to sign his 1st round draft pick?
Yes he has (look it up).
-
I thought Poz had a good game, and I think it's because of Davis. So I disagree with the OP's assessment of the play of our LB's today.
200 plus yards rushing against says LB play sucked.
-
Were you trying to be remotely realistic at all? Because the cost for the #1 overall pick would be their first, second, and likely third or fourth. It has been said before, but trading in/out of #1 just doesn't happen and won't in 2011.
Fix your sarcasm filter. And the point was Nix has proven he'll take less than market value if he wants to make a move bad enough. If he's desperate to move out of #1 overall, he'll take whatever he can get, which will likely be much less than the price you name above.
-
no one ever trades into or out of the top pick. if you get it you're stuck with it
That's for normal franchises that make trades of close to equal value. Someone will take it if we give it away, like say a 5th or 6th rounder in the 2012 draft.

After the game I found out what was going on. The girl had been being considerate and instead of making 8 people stand up when she needed to leave her seat, she would climb over into the empty row behind and go that way instead. So either some Bills employee saw her doing that, or someone reported it, and security came to tell her to stop. But not the green/yellow jacket security. The sport coat wearing supervisors, three of them. Turns out because the Jags people are in the suite, security is watching our section closely so that our fans don't give a bad impression of all Bills fans.
What's the security issue with that? I wonder if they throw out the guys who run down and over 20 or 30 rows after the game is over and then cut in front of everyone waiting in line in the aisle?
-
Bullcrap. If we are bad enough to have the number one pick, Ralph will know he needs that franchise face to sell tickets. Trade out of the top spot so we can draft a linebacker or wideout instead of a franchise QB? Please.
I'm with Dr. Trooth on this one (in fact I posted this same message in another thread before his). NO WAY in hell Ralph pays out that kinda cabbage to a rookie. And it ain't $30M - isn't it closer to $50M for a #1 overall QB these days?
-
When the Bills earn a top 3 pick in next year's draft, they will almost certainly trade it away. So don't get too excited. There's NO WAY Ralph pays that kinda bonus money to anyone, much less a rookie.
-
It helps to spell his name right in the thread title.
Grammar Nazi's, Yay!
-
You do what you have to do to win games, its a legal move, and it led to his team getting the chance to win the game in OT
Winning in the NFL is a chickenshit move.
-
Thanks Sherlock
Look in the mirror "sherlock." By your logic, every coach in the NFL is "chickenshit." What was your NFL head coaching record again? Must've been astonishing with all the bravery you display until this day on an internet message board.
-
That is a chickenshit move.
It's allowed, and until it is outlawed, every NFL "chickenshit" coach will continue to use it.
-
No, I was offended by our QB play though.
-
That's hysterical. You sit there and slag on face painters (rightly so, I might add), but turn around and post a LAMP thread on John Fina. To each his own I guess.
No ****! Did a grown man get his autograph too, after posing in a picture with him?
-
Good Lord!
Just let it happen. We need to bottom out. We're rebuilding through the draft, but none of our 2010 draft picks are contributing. Don't fight it. -
Hmmmm....Shanahan had the same decision to make on the ensuing drive, and elected to kick the 52 yarder. His kicker even got iced, and they missed, giving Houston great field position for the drive that would win them the game. Seems to have worked out well for Houston.

Ive been going at it all day with Packers fans On espn all day. I got sick of reading all the bills bashing and decided to let them have it cause i.m a die hard bills fan and will stick up for are team. I.m the only bills fan on there so anybody who wants to help me out on there go to espn week 2 picks. Then scroll down to where you see where all the staff picked greenbay to win. Then click in the little box on the left that says buf vs greenbay then click on conversations. I,m Cuze32 on there. Some of you will probably think i'm crazy but dammit somebody's gotta stick up for are team
So how's the debate going today? You did have enough class to go back and represent, right?
-
Jahvid Best had a nice game today.
-
What a dorky looking dude
-
Just make sure you man up and go back there tomorrow after the game is over.

It was the TD where they discussed whether Heap pushed off Scott or not. He basically ran about 20 yards downfield towards the post, stops, Scott just horrifically can't stop with him and stumbles around, and Heap just sits there alone, in the End zone, in between Scott and Whitner as they watch the ball come in and watch him just catch it. No fake, and I don't think the QB ever looked him off. Pathetic.
