run dat back

I suspect we're not so much progressing as running in place - as the similar results in recent years show. Doesn't bother me at all that they picked the Bills for last.

And I thought you only used handcuffs on a team's backs in fantasy football.

Never - and I mean NEVER - gets old. I guess there are worse backups out there, but I'm of the firm opinion we're not making playoffs this year, so who the #2 is doesn't mean a heck of a lot.

It seems very likely that this guy will crash and burn in the NFL, and I'll be standing there laughing when it happens.

I swear, if Watkins is seriously hurt......

Considering our QB is EJ, I think you should revise your prediction down a bit, especially winning at Houston and home to New England. The Patriots own us, and Belicheck is in our heads. I think 8-8 is the ceiling. Anything less would be a step back, anything more a surprise.

I don't really care what he did in college, it's a different game now, and so far he has shown himself to still lack maturity and self-restraint. I'm not buying into the hype that ESPN is so desperate to sell us.

There's no consideration of the fan experience at all. The only thought they give is to how many new ways they can fleece us.

Golisano would be a disaster.

Meanwhile the NBA are thinking of putting ad patches on uniforms. Gotta grab those revenue streams... Enough.

Right, draft Watkins to win now and then trade Spiller. It doesn't wash.

We've seen this movie before though. Flashes of excellence, but can he sustain it for multiple games at a time? Also, I thought EJ was a bit of a reach at that position. Partly because it was a poor year for QBs.

Yeah, I will keep saying it until I'm blue in the face but Graham over Russell was criminal.

I read something - I forget what and where - talking about the Jets beginning to think they still need a QB.

You don't need to look much further than horrendous drafting - Maybin, McCargo, etc. Bills threw away a lot of high end picks on those turkeys and JP Losman, etc, etc. Turnarounds can happen fast in the NFL - see KC last year - but I would say three years of drafting right and having a good scheme and good coaches. Unfortunately we're behind the 8 ball on the draft front since we gave up so much for Watkins - a panic move. Although on the other hand, maybe we're not so far away as I thought and Watkins is the guy to put us over the top.

Trade a guy with a possible future for a guy with a shaky past. No thanks.

Luckily, neither the driver nor the other 22 people in the car were injured.

This x 100. I've seen nothing to suggest the others are more than backups. The question is how long it takes us to find out if EJ IS the guy or not. At least one full season, I'd say.

It's the Bills, we're always doomed.

Movie hadn't even started. I think so long as someone turns off the phone before the actual movie starts, that's OK. But let's be honest, this was bound to happen somewhere eventually.

The article said some of these tickets are $300 each. How do they justify that pricing level for a first round playoff game?

We played them close in both games but zero to show for it. I guess it's progress, but I'm sick of losing to New England.

Need moar pics of Julia from Garlitt....

The main reason we find ourselves discussing the pros and cons of EJ Manuel as Bills QB is the gross mismanagement of Nix and company. You have a starter who is nothing more than a serviceable backup, and who loses games for you single-handed. So skip over the year that has many good QBs in the draft and then reach for a guy in a year that doesn't have any standouts. Brilliant.

Your thread title is misleading. A little snow is not the problem. It's a major storm that disrupts local travel and makes it unsafe or impractical for fans to get to the stadium that they are concerned about, and rightly so.
