I hate how the combine skews things on players. They play for years in college and then because they run fast, lift 225lbs a lot and jump high their status is elevated to 1st or 2nd round status. Where was all that talent when they were playing football?? You are so right--that draft killed the Bills. Nobody from that draft on the Bills 4 years later--not even some roll/ST guys. That was an awful draft. The mismanagement of the cap and the lousy draft put the Bills back 3 years.

We'd still lose this game and lose bad I think. This lets me relax a bit about the Pittsburgh loss. If I had watched a beating against the Bills like this I'd go crazy. Indy at home was just primed to destroy whoever they played. Broncos had 4th best D in the league by the way--only two behind us. Our secondary would have been chewed up as well--but not as bad. Indy is just so tough at home when they get on a roll.

Um, the Yankees don't win??? Playing in 6 of the last 9 World Series is not winning? How many playoff games have the Redskins played in? The Mets=Redskins!!! The Yanks get something for their money at least and have spent it wisely this year on Pitching not on a guy who will hit 40 home runs but bat .270. Go Mets

JP better be at OBD every day working out, looking at film etc.. If he does those things it will hopefully make up for the amount of time he lost this season. Right now face it that DB is the better QB of the two. If you don't want DB to be your QB you better hope JP progresses big time this offseason. I hope he does--but I'm still a bit skeptical.

The Yanks would like Beltran just not at 120 million. He is a greedy guy if money isn't the issue then why sign with a worse team than the Astros in the Mets? 10-12 million more over 8 years and with the NYS and NYC income taxes that will take even more away--moron! Listening to Boras was his mistake. I hope he is happy playing for a team that will be out of it in July. No pitching, no relief just 170 million tied up in two players. Nice job METS!!!! Beltran would be a nice pick-up for 75-80 million. That is all he is worth. Guerrero got a contract for 75M last offseason and was the MVP this year. Beltran is NOT worth 45M more.

I'm happy he is not going to the Yanks. I wish he would have stayed with the Astros.

Mobility helps but quick decisions and accuracy are much more important. I am not one for Drew bashing and like the guy, but I was thinking the same thing yesterday. These teams got much better play out of there QBs. Quick good decisions and not turning the ball over beats mobility.

He and his agent are morons. The Mets may compete with the Bisons for the AAA championship next year! The Astros would have made the playoffs in the National League.

Does that logic mean Nugent would have missed that 28 yard field goal? If he is the best kicker to come along in ten years and is really that good the Bills should take him.

If McGahee goes down the running game is done with Burns and Williams. Maybe for a game or a half, but not for any extended period. Draft a RB or keep TH.

Do you know Tom Brady stays in New England for the offseason and wins their award for most time put in the weight room folm, etc.... Yes their QB. If Drew stayed in Buffalo most of the offseason and worked with Wyche, the WRs and worked on film I'd feel he would be making a huge effort to improve himself and the team. I know he is a veteran of 10 years in the league, but as you get older you need to work harder. I say let him go to Montana for 6 weeks and then come back and work your butt off this offseason. Sure he can stay in shape in Montana and come back for the mini-camps but I really believe he would be better off here working with the coaches and teammates. He makes enough money where he could jet away to Florida or the Caribbean on the weekends to break up the weather!

Probably the only position where there is little difference between college and pro football is a kicker. Your responsibilities are essentially the same. Much, much easier transition than any other position. I would worry about a kicker from a small school but Nugent will have played in front of crowds bigger than he'll see in the pros at OSU and at Michigan so that does not worry as much. A great kicker can win you games. Look at us this year and how it limits your choices offensively when you drive within the other teams 40.

Kicker is one of our biggest needs! I have no problem taking a great kicker with a second or third round pick.

TD has assembled very good talent on this roster. Only thing I would criticize him for is the kicker. I think we are strong on multiple fronts. We need a good honest competition at QB this upcoming year and let the best man win!

Yep! Can't watch/listen to anything sports related now. So darn heartbreaking. I guess I'm still in disbelief that they were playing so well and then reverted back to beating themselves. I'm with you--feeling depressed still! Hopefully Indy blows away the Broncos and I can be happy it wasn't the Bills. But. boy would it be nice to be in the playoffs again. It was so nice to follow a winning team over the past month. Forgot what a fun ride it can be--what has it been 5 years??? That's a long time.

She's pretty darn hot!

Hollis was injured all of last year and part of this year. So we would have needed another kicker anyway.

Fezmid is right again. We hate hearing it but Belichick says it every week here in New England. Every coach and team says it because it is true.

I think you are reading way too into it! Pretty generic answer and the one he needs to give, but in the end doesn't say much.

I don't know if the players felt that way but it kind of seemed like it didn't it? For much of that first half they were floating through the game almost waiting to keep it close until the back-ups came in. I'm still depressed about it!

JP starts only if he beats out Drew--plain and simple. If at the beginning of the season he is not playing better than Drew then he doesn't start. What is so difficult about that? Drew and JP will be our QBs going into the season. I am fine with that. If Drew starts the year and is not playing well then JP comes in--not too difficult to understand.

On 3rd and a foot from the Pats 15 not have a RB stumble and lose 2 yards so the game tying drive keeps going. We played the Pats very tough at home and could have won that game. Big things for the Bills are like for every team--don't turn it over, limit penalties (especially dumb ones), make the plays you are supposed to (27 yard FG, catching balls thrown to you, blocking the person you are supposed to and hitting open receivers). I think in this Pittsburgh game the Bills lost a bit of focus as well. The previous six games were a one game playoff and they focused only on that game whether it was Cinci or Miami or San Fran. We (including myself) went into this game almost just expecting a win whatever happened. One game at a time.

Our OL is actually pretty good. DB just has to get rid of the ball. We have great weapons on offense at the skill positions. We need a guy who does not turn the ball over and can play a good game--doesn't need to be Manning. Let's hope JP could be that guy. Face it, come camp time the two QBs will be Drew and JP.

Was this post a joke on how to change the offense? Do we want to trade for Drew Brees when the Chargers franchise him? 9M a year for Drew Brees, cut our best receiver, then some team will trade for Losman? I think we should trade for Tom Brady next year--that is my plan as long as we are going with unrealistic scenarios here.

Gotta love the attitude of McGahee. It may be worth keeping Henry here. Trade wise getting a third round pick for him is not that big a thing. It all depends on his attitude. You need two good backs in this league--Willis will miss time next year. That is a given. It sure would be nice to have a proven back in there.
