I'd let him do that to you if that's what it takes.

Is it possible the FO has a clue?

I agree. I'm gonna go out on a limb and pretend I know what I'm talking about; but I think Maybin will stay at DE. So, they still need a LB. Not sure if anyone is left worth much though.

So, for those of us that don't know all these college guys.... who had the better day 1? I'm thinkin the Fish.. wtf? Jets? wow. Pats* I have no clue.

Thanks. I know little about any of these guys. According to PFW, Maybin is the #1 DE, Levitre is the #1 G, and Wood was the #2 C. For whatever their rankings are worth. So, yeah, I guess I'm reasonably impressed with the FO. I agree. THE OT and DT positions are still an area of concern. But, we can't fix them all at once. I would say of our lines, the DE and C/G positions werer the weakest; so I'm glad that's what they addressed. I'm actually more concerned with Ellison starting at LB than I am Fine/Shouman at TE (not that I think either of those 2 guys are good). With luck at least one of those positions gets an upgrade.

More likely. I agree. Jauron has shown a strong preference for not starting rookies if he can at all help it.

I've been out working all day (I know missed all the fun). I gotta say though, on the surface, a DE, a Center, a Guard on day 1... wow. At least we have to give the FO credit for trying. I'm not smart enough to know if these guys are the best guys, good guys, or suck; but at least they're linemen. I'm happy. Now, the safety pick is a whatever. But, 3 out of 4 ain't bad. So, seriously, Bill, how do you think we did with day 1? You know the linemen better than I.

"Somebody call Dave and Buster's and get a table for tomorrow. Vontae's gonna be a hungry boy!"

No doubt. They've really built a rather weak, soft team that has as much difficulty playing in the Buffalo elements as the Dolphins. It would be nice to see them reverse that a little. There should be several options this year based on all the mocks I've seen. It'll be interesting to see how they go to say the least. I gotta say, fundamentally, I still don't think any of it matters as long as we keep the current coaching staff. But, I guess all we can do is sit back watch, pray, and think of glory days gone by.

I gotta have more Motor, baby!

You're welcome. I suspect come Monday, we'll know just how incompetent they are or are not.

Yeahhhhh ME! oh.. wait. . never mind didn't get past the title.

I would very much agree with this last paragraph! My laptop is XP and has very, very few problems. But, the co-workers... forget about it. We've got one person... she can't' use her computer more than 2 days without a complete lockdown. I'm about to either take it away or put an internet filter on it. I don't' even recommend it anymore.. I just hide Internet Explorer and make Firefox the default browser. But, that's an IE issue not so much a PC/Mac issue. What I do find interesting is that people have historically classified Macs as a niche or they're just for playing (i.e. not for real business) or say that it has limited software. When pushed, one of the first deficiencies listed is you can't get good games for the Mac. Funny, since the Mac is supposed to be the machine for those that don't want to do serious work. In my experience, there's very little you can't do on a Mac - high end mapping/GIS (ArcMap specifically) is one. I'm sure there are a few other things. However, for general business, accounting, statistics, graphing, presentations, etc. There's a mac equivalent available. People just don't realize it. The primary reason I haven't switched our entire operation over to mac is one thing.. .cost. It's hard to justify to our Business Manager spending $1200-$1400 on a laptop when you can get a similarly equipped one for $700-$800. Although, after the last week, I can easily say that I've spent far more than a few hundred dollars of my time fixing things on these machines that I'm certain I wouldn't have done on a Mac. Although I work with some real idiots, so who really knows. Regarding the virus issue. Yes, I think it's mostly because Macs are used much less; therefore, the virii writers spend less time on them. However, as I look at it, does it really matter "why" there's fewer viruses. The fact remains there "are" fewer mac viruses. Perhaps that'll change in the future, but until then, virus issues on a Mac are much less of a concern. So, if virus issues are a concern why wouldn't you consider a Mac.

I don't get it. The Bills' FO and scouts have spent countless hours going over every player they can to try and determine who they think are the best players, as well as who they think will best fit into our team and schemes. They prioritize these picks and make their board. Now, a day before the draft, you get upset that they're going to draft according to that board? Would we prefer that they just call ESPN and ask Kiper who they should pick when their time comes up? Do you think there's a GM/FO guy in the league that wouldn't say pretty much the same thing as that quote? Now, granted, maybe their board is wrong. Maybe they suck ass at evaluating talent. Maybe they take a CB because they really do think that's our biggest need. Maybe they should all be fired because they're incompetent. But, that's a completely different issue. Regardless, if Brandon came out today and said something along the lines of we really liked a few guys but lately Mayock is making a convincing case for this other guy... so we'll see. Well then I'd really be worried.

I'm not at all convinced that money was the issue with extending Peters. I think his attitude and posturing had far more to do with him being traded than the dollar figure.

Nice read. Thanks.

Bingo. A team doesn't try to impress draft picks, a team interviews draft picks. It's the responsibility of the kid to come to Buffalo and do all he can to impress the Bills so they want to pick him - not the other way around.

Totally should went to Applebees. Friggin Idiots!

Just curious but how are Macs less versatile?

No way the Pats* have to give up that to move up to the top 10. Complete crap story. We all full well know that all Kraft as to do is ask Goodell and he'll be granted a supplemental 3a draft slot and be allowed to retain all their current picks because the Pats* had to deal with the devastating loss of Cassel.

I fix/work on/set up computers in my spare time (which I really have none of). My wife and a friend have a Mac. In over 2 years, I've never once had to fix a problem with either one. Occasionally, I get a "how do you do this" question. At work, we all use Dell/HP machines. I'm currently finishing work on my 3rd machine this week. 1 standard malware/spyware issues and basic cleaanup. 1 - wipe/format and reload due to virut virus. 1 format and reload due to corrupt windows registry (they hadn't set any restore points). So, in one week, I've worked on 3 PC machines. In 2 years, I haven't had to do a thing to the 2 Macs (granted unequal sample size). Not to mention all the other times during the year, I have to fix/repair the PCs. So, for me, there's not much discussion as to which is a more stable machine with less downtime. However, when purchasing I always advise people to consider: (1) what you want to do with the computer, (2) how much can you afford in initial cost, and (3) what are you familiar with (if PC how quick a learner are you) because there is a little to learn switching to a Mac.

Considering Brown works for the Bills... is his final mock seen as highly accurate, highly misleading, or he has no more of a clue than I do?

Jason... is that you?

I really need to get a job doing graphic design for an NFL team. Apparently, these guys get paid to (1) do nothing or (2) do absolutely horrible work.

People need to just let it go...
