I would love Cole Hikutini from Louisville in the sixth if we haven't taken one and he is still there.

Go Bucs! I am awfully good at this after I missed in week three of my own eliminator challenge.

I think this year is not the one to judge him on. The Browns are in the midst of a full scale, intentional, organisationally planned tank. Whether it was a smart year to do it given there is no obvious top 10 Quarterback in this class is a very good and very fair question.
Bad year to have the first pick I agree but a GREAT year to trade it away and build picks an organization so sorely lacking in talent needs. IF they can find a buyer and IF they are smart and gutsy enough (you know the fans will be screaming for one player or another at #1) they could do very well out of this, as you put it, tank,

Tampa Bay is getting healthy, Winston is practicing, Evans cleared protocol and even Doug Martin made an appearance in practice. It may be that I just can't imagine a second good game from Cutler and Bears backup offensive linemen but I think Tampa wins this one.

How does making them full time change anything?
I've always thought if full time, they would have debrief film sessions after every game of their game and then a highlight of all games, especially where mistakes were made. I mean 12-14 hours of film review every week and as full time employees you could do that and I think it would go a long way to standardizing penalty calls across the league if they saw what was done well and done poorly over and over.

Well, I follow the belief system that you build a winner starting with the big guys on the line of scrimmage. So, I am okay with paying more money for linemen than most are. If you want to be dominant you have to have a great offensive line or a quarterback like Tom Brady. I don't think there are many Tom Brady's out there, so gimme a great line.
Then run the ball by committee - any back will do if your line is good enough. It has been proven again and again and again.
I agree. I have told my friends that if i was starting a team and could draft any player in history to play for me, after QB, the first player I would take is Anthony Munoz because I would not have to worry about LT again for 15 years.

No doubt he could have summed it up perfectly to all the other Cub fans:
"Where else would you rather be than right here, right now?"

That was frickin' surreal. Without a doubt one of the most memorable games I have watched.

It has been a long time since I was stationed there but the best place to watch sports was the Stick and Stein pool hall/sports bar. It was away from the strip and more regularly frequented by locals. I remember watching Elway win a Super Bowl there. No idea if it is still open or has changed names so really not much help.

Dolphins have been fun,
Only one time in my life.
Its laces out Dan.

Who is Felicia?

Digging a bit deeper it is reported by the LA Daily News as well but they do acknowledge it COULD have been said in jest.

Seriously dude? Bad call is a bad call.

I get what you're saying - to a point. But you know how long it's been since we swept the season series with the Pats***?
1999, that's when. Even an otherwise wrecked season would have a certain - and not insignificant - reason to gloat. Reminds me of the days when a victory over the Phins was a great, great good feeling.
The 1970s were miserable huh? Kind of crazy being a Bills fan for 8 years (joined the herd in 1973) before we ever get a win against a certain team in our own division. Winning ugly is still winning was never better exemplified than in that game. 15 turnovers total or something crazy like that.

Heck yeah, keep it up Lorax!

Who knew the Y2K crash prediction was actually about the Bills' playoffs hopes.

You think he had a script for 3rd and 12 already figured in? Maybe Pegs or Rex found that script and figured that if he knew he couldn't make things work, maybe it was time to find someone with a little faith....
I agree with scripted plays, but I don't think you can stick to them as situations (down and distance) changes.... But that would explain the 5 yard out's on 3rd and 7+
I always thought the same as well and wanted to know what a "scripted" drive is. Like you it seems absurd that the first 15 plays are designed to be played in order regardless of down, distance or field position. I also considered that basically the script is more of a list of plays like the first 5 plays for 1st and ten, the first 5 plays for 2nd and 4-7 yards etc. I just have never been real clear on what a scripted drive is exactly.

While watching the last game I saw someone wearing number 90 and thought "Wow, good to see someone who remembers Hansen" only to later realize Shaq Lawson took 90 and it was likely his jersey.

Okay. A not unpopular opinion around here. But then what?
Keep going to games? Keep buying gear?
Actually stop watching?
Me, I have been following since 88. I have been detached last year and this year. I cancelled cable TV this year (g'bye NFLN and ESPN and RedZone). I found another team in another sport on another continent to follow, since I cant root for any other american team. I'm so bad that it wasnt until this Tuesday that I actually realized the Bills play on Thursday night.
Fool me 15 times, shame on me. As I approach 50, I realize that every hour is precious.
Your plan?
I had already committed to friends and family to play in several cash fantasy football leagues this year or I would do the exact same. My intention now is to cut satellite TV as soon as football is over this year (ESPN and the networks have become cesspools and every other cable show is some personality driven reality show), and if the NFL doesn't get its act together on several issues I'll be letting my fandom become very casual and by that I mean no more memorabilia and MAYBE streaming 550 AM on gameday. Thats it. You and I are about the same age, I just started on the Bills train earlier than you did (44 and possibly my last year) but looks like we may be getting off at the same stop.

Does anyone remember a season where the fans and media gave up on this team so quickly? I've never seen it like this so early and that includes the 3-13 season. Maybe because that year, we knew we were going to be bad.
But seriously, I can't find a single article of hope, optimism, anything.
I got hooked on the Bills by OJ's 2,003 yards in 1973. We went to the playoffs the next year if I recall and it was all downhill from there for about 5 years as I recall. The 2-12 year was the nadir and the only year I can remember being as depressing as this one.
-
Dammit in 40+ years of Fandom this for sure is the most depressed and resigned I've ever been after the 2nd freaking game
Five days into the Bills' season and I am right there with you. That has to be a record... I got to have hope this season for only FIVE days.

Since the thread seems to have devolved, I'll play along. (And Heavy Metal cartoon violence ahead but I think all the cartoon naughty bits are gone)

I think a lot of angst comes from witnessing the patriots sunday night and coming to the realization that they are just a well oiled football program, and they will be just fine after brady is gone. That is who the bills need to strive for. Rex is the opposite of belichick in almost every way. I dont see whaley, brandon, or pegula getting us there. The bills will likely never get to belichick level... but why cant they get to the ravens, broncos, cardinals, seahawks level? Those are all teams who have bottomed out lower than buffalo in somewhat recent history. At least then its a fair fight.
How can the bills ever see a home playoff game if they struggle getting the plays in on time?
I live in Kentucky so I get the Bengals local radio and they constantly lash out about how flawed that ownership and coaching and management is and every time I hear that I just think the commentators and callers have no idea how bad it can be.
Your favorite non-star/non-big name Bills of all time?

Phil Hansen and Don Beebe for me. Oh and almost forgot Kelso, loved the way he played.
