My Bills team is simple. I got to buffalobills.com and get the updated roster. Then I go to IGN or some other website that has the current player ratings and build my Bills team from there. I do a lot of audibles when I get into passing situations and a lot of hot routes. Moving people around also opens things up. On Defense I keep it simple. I move a LB to the weak side and blow up the QB or hit the the RB in the backfield or as he squirts in the hole. When the other team goes to punt get in a return formation and take a DB from the left side of the return team and move him to the right and rush the punter. I get him every time.
You and me both, SW.
I am not a great Madden player and I did not play a lot last year, but i gave some good Madden players a run for their money with hot route/ audible laden Bills team that had no business hanging around in games that long.

Can you imagine? What a jerk...asking for starter money in this league to sign and be a starter.
If he wants starter money he should go sign and start for a team that utilizes the Tampa 2 defense.

It's worth saying:
Ngata could've been a Buffalo Bill. But as we've been told ad nauseam, he didn't fit the Jauron system. Two years after wasting a pick on a DT and selecting a DB who is above average but not spectacular (because he doesn't have the players around him) Buffalo traded 2 picks for Stroud.

BillsVet you are being ridiculous. Why would you want Nagata, the third highest ranked DT, we you already have the third highest ranked safety in Whitn...oh, wait...that's right. Good point.
Well, we as Bills fans didn't want to draft Nagata anyw...oh, wait, that's not quite true, is it.

Not only is this guy total scum (even before the dog fighting bit), he is a sh1tty quarterback. He blows. I'll pass.
This is a very simple and direct statement, but it just plain nails the point.

I was here too. And I find it hard to believe you think today's 24/7 media cycle is anything like it was in the '70s.
Maybe, I just know that back then the media was television, movies and advertising:
I remember OJ on the big screen, not the 15"-19" little screen of the internet.
I remember watching OJ on SNL when SNL was THE thing at the time.
and I remember OJ in almost every magazine for Dingo boots and on TV seemingly every 10 minutes flying through airports for Hertz, not just doing plugs for MNF.
The 70s just called apologizing for not having the internet or reality TV, but yeah, he was pretty damn big...and not just in Buffalo.
EDIT: Surprisingly enough, i think he may have also pushed a little orange juice in his time.

I think you'd have to put an asterix next to Orenthal's name on that designation. A 'media magnet' in the pre-Internet, pre-ESPN era is a lot different than what TO's experiencing today.
Not really, he was a movie star and had hosted Saturday Night Live (as edgy as anything in the 70s) long before his career in Buffalo ended.
Trust us, some of us were present during the 70s while it was going on.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was wondering the same. Front loading the salaries up to the cap on a specific year is brilliant.
Juice, the actual article I read was from a couple of years ago. I think it was in Sports Illustrated and it was a great, great read. I am lazy and bad at looking up stuff, but hopefully someone can find it.
Oh, and right back at ya
EDIT: Well, i guess I am not that lazy, here is a similar article compliments of Mr. Frank -

How do the Eagles have so much money left under the cap?
They signed Peters and Andrews, Samuels last year, have Mcnab, Westbrook (who recently
resigned) and a core of other good young players?
I mentioned this in a post awhile ago but can't find it; if memory serves me The Eagles and at one point the Vikings were two of the first teams to really manipulate the salary cap. In other words, and i am not exactly sure how on point I am with this, they front load contracts and/or do away with or use up cap space in a particular year to leave more money for following years.
Sure, there was a risk and it is pretty free with the money, but it seems to have worked because they ALWAYS seem to have cap space.

There was a post I made a week ago or so saying something similar. It just angered me to think that if the Bills were putting together different schemes, why telegraph it to everyone, especially the Patriots. They are one of the best, if not the best, at game planning. We just aren't good enough to show our hand yet. And, we're proven not to be smart enough to fool anyone with trick planning - except in Special Teams. The Patriots came out against us one year with like two defensive linemen, and like five or six linebackers, and a bunch of secondary - I don't remember exactly, except that it was a very strange formation. They might even have been standing...the point is, everyone was like - "what the @#%^$ is that!" It was NEW and there's no way we knew it was coming. Until we prove to be good enough to go out and enforce our will on opponents, we should stay much quieter.
offde I mean no offense, but do you really think it makes a difference what hand we do, or don't show...to the New England Patriots...on Monday Night Football...on the road?
In the last 17 games we are 1-16 against this team and have been outscored 432-181 and if they were banned from looking at any film on us leading up to kickoff it will take them all of three plays into our first drive to figure us out.
I hate to be THAT guy, but we kind of live in THAT world.

LB first and foremost (Hill?) Then DT (Henderson?) Then LT.
PTR
Honestly, if the above happened (lets say even Jones at LT) and I can't believe I'm saying this...I think we should be considered a playoff contender.
Mind you, not a playoff team.
Not a division champion.
Maybe not even a winning record by the end of the season, and possible not even out of last place (given our division), but we should at least be one of the teams on the radar.
Go Bills.

My deepest sympathy and condolences to Ralph and the Wilson family.
BTW, if memory serves me, and some of you can verify this, she was responsible for pushing hard on the Bills drafting Andre Reed.

I don't really care because then we would not have gotten Wood and i'd rather have him and nelson than pettigrew

Buffalo Bills — This draft could produce five starters in DE Aaron Maybin, C Eric Wood, S-CB Jairus Byrd, OG Andy Levitre and TE Shawn Nelson, the first two of whom may have Pro Bowl potential. However, the subtraction of a high-level performer such as OLT Jason Peters brings an exceptional draft back down to earth. Projecting Byrd to safety involves some risk, but he will likely wind up at cornerback eventually. Overall, there was a higher emphasis on character than there has been in Buffalo with many recent acquisitions, which is also a plus. GM Russ Brandon and vice president of college scouting Tom Modrak upgraded the roster significantly via the draft.
Geez, I'm sorry, i know it is a "Good" grade, but I don't understand comments like this.
If you want to state the loss of Peters necessitated them getting an OT in the draft and they didn't, THEN SAY THAT. Otherwise the comment is wrong.
Other than the picks we got for Peters he has nothing to do with this draft class. Why not just mention that because we lost Crowell in free agency this draft wasn't as good b/c we did not get a starting LB? Yes, I know, even though he wasn't the starting LB for us last year, but you get my point.
Additionally, have the bills made any comments along the lines of, "We see Byrd as a Safety, but come on, he'll eventually go back to corner because we see him excelling at the position due to his one-step-behind lack of corner speed."

I'm glad you posted this. After spending all weekend watching in TV, I admit I'm a bit fried, and was trying to remember this trade until I saw your post. Great reporting USA Today.
Small additional note: Maybin was 236lbs...about 4 months ago.
Although i will take the A- from them.

He gives us a B. He loved the Texans draft.

Only two teams higher than ours in the DMN. I can really, really live with that.
Thanks, KD, I'm starting feel damn good about this draft.
-
That's great, but more importantly I am waiting for the Dallas Morning News' grade for the Bills.
I just have always trusted them when it comes to the draft.

Everyone made fun of the Bengals for making a "reach" pick on Levi Jones in that draft.
Of the top three tackles taken in the 2002 draft which would you have wanted the last few years; Jones, Mike Williams, or McKinney?
Yeah, I'll take Jones, please. Maybe not now b/c of his injuries but I always liked that pick for Cincy.

If Schobel and Moorman play with the bills after next season it will be their 10th year with the team.
The thing is, off the top of my head I can't even remember the last "10" year Bill.
I'm seriously asking the question b/c I want to know, but doesn't that also show the bad state of this team for drafting, retaining and obtaining talent?
Ok, OK, rhetorically question, I know, but it is still pretty sad when you think about it considering the number of players from previous iterations that spent 10 years here.

The Patriots are trying to move into the Top-10 of the draft, according to SI's Peter King.
The Pats are believed to have offered their first-round pick and the middle of their three second-round picks for the Jags No. 8 overall pick, but Jacksonville turned it down. King does not believe the Pats are after Tyson Jackson despite his obvious fit as a 3-4 defensive end. The Pats' target is said to be a "surprise." Apr. 24 - 12:29 pm et
Source: SI.com
Who would they be targeting?
I'm sorry, you lost me at "three second-round picks."
Three-second-round-picks.
Look, I know it's the patriots and they always have a ton of picks each year, but I am just sick of it. It's like extra monopoly money for them.
-
I think it is definitely 50/50 between Pettigrew and Wells/Moreno at 21 for Philadelphia. Even though TE is a more pressing need, they may have a shot at getting the top RB in the draft. It's a tough call. It should be interesting to see what happens, that's for sure.
From what I've seen they love Moreno and considering the tread (or lack there of) on Westbrook's tires I think they are going to go RB.
-
if those were really our picks through round 4, I couldnt imagine the draft working out better.
Yeah, very true.
Regardless of whether you get your favorites or not if someone handed that to you as Bills fan you'd just have to shake your head and say, "damn, looks good."

When the last of the Polian team (John Butler and AJ Smith) left town in 2000. Regardless of what some people around here say about Butler and the cap mess that we were in, we made the Playoffs 2 out of his last 3 years.
Polian, Ferguson, Butler, Smith...10 trips to the playoffs in their last 13 years (88,89,90,91,92,93,95,96,98,99)
Honestly...HONESTLY, do we even need to look any further?
