No question Sudfeld is not Gronk, but the receivers look decent enough (at least based on pre-season), that Brady can make decent receivers very productive.

Zach Sudfeld, the TE, looks good also.

Kimbrell Thompkins should be the starting WR opposite Amendola. Thompkins had a good pre-season and distanced himself from the other WR's to fill that space. He will be one to watch out for tomorrow.

Just curious. If we come to the 2nd round, Nassib is still available, and the Bills don't select him (assuming the Bills have not picked up another QB in the 1st round, which would negate the need for him), does Nassib slip further than anticipated? The reason why I'm thinking this is that Marrone and Hackett know more about Nassib than anybody else, more than any NFL staff would know about any QB in the entire draft, and if the rest of the teams see that we won't take him, the perception might be there must be something wrong with him, that those who know him best do not think he is NFL caliber.

Maybe Dennis Shaw fits in somewhere near the bottom? He threw a lot of ints., but he did get the NFL offensive rookie of the year in 1970.

How about the NFL all stars vs the CFL all stars? Shake things up a little, like in the NHL when they did North America vs the World in it's all star game. Sure, the NFL would murder the CFL, but maybe the CFL players would have more to prove and play harder, until one year there would finally be that huge upset where the CFL would finally beat the NFL (Kind of like when the AFL Jets beat the Colts in SB III), and a rivalry might begin. The only thing is that the NFL might not want to do that as it could make the NFL look bad if they lose. Still, it might make things more interesting than they currently are.

Since Denver does not seem interested in Tebow (I think he's 3rd string now), I wonder if they'll showcase him a little since there was said to be an interest in the Bills drafting Tebow. Tebow would seem to have more value in a trade than as a 3rd stringer.

Thanks. My first Bills-Dolphins game happened to be opening day of 1980 when we finally beat them.

Thanks Taro T, I wasn't sure if anyone would know the answer to that. Would you happen to know what the score was?

Does anyone happen to know what year it was when the Vikings played the Bills in a pre-season game in the 1970's and the Vikings destroyed the Bills something like 30-6. The reason why I am curious is that it was the first ever Bills game I went to and I was wondering what year that was. My gut tells me it was 1977, but I remember my dad having a converastion with someone before the game how O.J. wouldn't be playing because he was holding out and I thought that would have been 1976. I doubt anyone would know this but maybe someone has a list of the history all the Bills games that would include pre-season games. Thanks.

Breaking Bad is currently my favorite show, and I used to like Dexter a lot, but I had problems with both shows in the later seasons and I wonder if anyone agrees with me. Warning - Spoilers In the 3rd season of Breaking Bad, I didn't like how it seemed Walt and Jessie overreacted in certain situations just to make situations seem more dramatic than they should have been. Jessie's use of the word "B word" so often it was getting old. For most of the season he was acting irradic and immature, then toward the end of the season he became the sensable one ("Mr. White, you are not a murderer, go to the cops"). Like a lot of shows, it seems sometimes a person will act out of character just to have a more dramatic effect or just to move the plot along. I also didn't like how Walt overreacted when he got pulled over by the cop because of his windshield early in the season. I guess it was for comedic relief, but still I was hoping the show would stick to a sense of realism. I guess it is because I like the show so much that I hold it to such a high standard and I have such high expectations for it that some of those things bother me. That being said, the final 2 episodes of the season were outstanding and probably the best episodes yet, and I can't wait until the start of the next season. As for Dexter I loved the first 3 seasons, and the first half of the 4th season, then the show fell apart for me. I loved the John Lithgow character at first, as he seemed complex, but the more you found out about him as the season moved along him he became more of an ordinary villain and less intriguing . The relationship between Batista and LaGuerta, and between Debra and Quinn made it too soap operapy. And Debra and Quinn making love for the first time while getting evidence in Dexter's house after Rita's murder (or was it when they were cleaning the blood from the bathroom...I can't remember), that would never happen with Debra's character, she would have too much respect for the situation to do that. Sorry to be a killjoy, but I hate when such good shows go downhill. I still love Breaking Bad though.

Off the top of my head how about Terrell Davis? Davis had 6413 yards in his first 4 years, over 2000 yards in his final full season, then injuries cut his career short. Who knows how many yards he wold have racked up.

O.J was considered the best player at any position during his prime. Thurman wasn't even considerd the best running back in the league during his prime, always in the shadow of Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith. Not to take anything away from Thurman, as he was a big part of the team's success of course, but if O.J. was on the Bills in the early 90's the offense would have been impossible to defend and there is no question in my mind they would have won at least one Super Bowl, and probably more.

Isn't Charlie Weis the new offensive coordinator for the Gators?

While talking about who was the better running back, O.J. hands down. A lot of the reasons have already been mentioned, so I apologize if some of this is re-hash. For TT, the defenses had to worry about Andre Reed, James Lofton, and a hall of fame QB. Who was O.J.'s supporting cast in the skill positions? During the 70's Bills, the defenses knew the Bills were going to run, they keyed against the run, yet O.J. still managed to put up amazing numbers. In TT's time, the defenses had to guard against a great passing game also. Although statistics is not the only factor, they are important nonetheless. If O.J. played 16 game seasons, he would have rushed for a projected 2289 yards in 1973 and 2076 yards in 1975. Those two seasons would have been 2 of the top 3 seasons acheived by a running back (to be fair if we want to throw Jim Brown into the mix, he would have had a projected 2129 yards for the 1963 season). Based on rushing yards ( a main criteria for judging a running back), the top 4 individual seasons would belong to 1) O.J. 1973 season, 2) Jim Brown 1963 season, 3) Eric Dickerson 1984 season, and 4) O.J. 1975 season. That is 2 of the top 4 seasons for yards per game. TT's best season? 1487 yards. That is not even as much as O.J. had in his 3rd best season of 1503 yards in 1976 in a 14 game season. The argument can be made that rushing statistics alone do not tell the whole story. Receiving must be part of the equation. No doubt TT was a great receiver and put up great numbers for a running back. But of course, and has been mentioned by others, the offensive systems the two played on were very different. The running plays were much more dominant in O.J.'s era. Where TT was a great receiver, we can say that O.J. was at least a good receiver, and probably would have been just as great a receiver if he were used the same way. Better speed: OJ More elusive: OJ More power: OJ Better blocker: TT Better receiver: Possibly TT, but really can't be determined Not to take anything away from TT, but as a running back IMHO, OJ was better
