Well guess what, I have read all of your comments already and I would like someone with real insight to take a stab at it. Last year I would say that the first half of the season was obviously weaker then the second and that we have a weak coaching staff, also lost Reed who was playing well in the first half. But I am not on this board for my thoughts. End of season losses happened for 2 years with playoffs on the line and just wanted to hear his take on it. My initial question was to get an honest, unbiased answer since he would actually go on a Bills board and tell us we will be the bottom of the AFC east. Love the honesty, hate to hear the truth but want to know. Throw the stones now.

I am just making a very good case to get a straight forward answer. LOL such undying defensive Bills fans against any and all criticism. Love the passion and the ignorance.

I was saying the the Chargers win means he was fine after the injury in the Cardinals game. So I don't personally believe the Bills losses to finish the season was because of his concusion. Also trying to beat off people again, "not many have a clue" is also rash for Miami fans, again I am talking about the average fan of a team knowing as much as the average fan for the bills. Tim has been to more areas to see the fans from all over. Thank you for all the help but the questions are for Tim Graham. Really would rather know about your TE thoughts.

Sorry about the 49ers game.. Very true. Pointless because they were out of the playoffs already. Win to Denver doesn't help the playoffs. The whole point for the Bills is making the playoffs... I really hope everyone knows that.

No way! Never a JP lover. I do not want to start over. I bought the jersey, I want TE to be the guy. I was just asking his opinion and looking at the second half losses. Pick and choose is not it. I am asking if he thinks there is anything to the second half collapses we keep seeing from TE.

Hey Tim, since you were honest enough to say that we are probably going to be the bottom of our division, do you really think Trent Edwards is the guy for the Bills QB. In his 2 NFL seasons he started the Bills finished with loss after loss until it doesn't matter anymore after a great start to push the playoffs. Second question is why do you think this has happened. I personally don't want to believe it was his head injury since he came out in the San Diego game and played almost his best performance. Is it the cold, pressure, team injuries? 2007 Cleveland L 8-0 obviously it was a crazy snowy game. New York L 38-21 pass since they took this win to the super bowl Philly L 17-9 Not the best Eagles season either. 2008 Losses to division and 49ers at end of season. Then a pointless win in Denver which is why I said until it doesn't matter.

As far as Dolphin fans I live in FL and not many have a clue what is going on in games or off season. What I am saying is in general most every Bills fan knows everything there is about the game and the team. I know all teams have passionate fans. That isn't really what I am talking about.

Wow, how is that for prophetic... I wish I learned of this thread sooner. Your insights are very real and precise.

One thing on this I have been talking about to people lately is: Are there teams that have fans with as much football knowledge as Bills fans "in general"? What I mean by that is not a soul will be a casual fan of football and decide "hey, I think I am going to start liking the Buffalo Bills." Guess unless you live in upstate NY or have parents that raise their children to be fans. It's not the sexy team that say the Cowboys, Giants or say Steelers produce. So it seems I can talk to any given Bills fan and they would know just about everything there is about the team and the sport. Bills fans have such passion for the game and the team. What is your take? What team would have fans that may be similar?

Someone finally gets it. GO BILLS!!!

Umm no he is going to be a safety, and suddenly overrated because of one year? "I said Byrd would be in the discussion as best DB on team with McKelvin.... DB is not CB ... if you need more clarification please PM me" I Stand Corrected... I saw the McKelvin reverence and overlooked the initials. Hope that happens.

I was actually agreeing and not being sacrastic. Hurry up tends to run on the QB more then the coach and I am all for that.

Good point Go hurry up to bipass HC and GO BILLS!

My biggest problem with this post is "Finding a diamond in the rough" as our early second round pick... That should be a statement for a 4th, 5th or later pick not early second. When Poz was picked close to that pick he was a bonified starter. I am not sure how high he is on other charts but seemed like a severe reach and we could have found a better talent. Even picked him in a later round.

Exactly what I am thinking. Passing game with TO, cough, is going to improve though. Defenses are going to have to be honest both helping underneith passing and rushing. With the WR we had we could never use a quick slant because defenses would be all over it with 8 in the box. I cannot believe I am the one writing this but the fact is TO's possibilities for the Bills are HUGE for offense. Last year our defense was probably MUCH better then it look with an offense that doesn't ever score TDs. Makes opposing teams run more and take less chances because they are unneeded. Granted we STILL have a coaching staff that will do exactly that by rolling out JP with a lead and the game closing... Sorry I know some people felt some pain by bringing that up. Ok, there it is... Still a chance at the playoffs.

Umm no he is going to be a safety, and suddenly overrated because of one year? Bills Picked a DE to start in the future. He is a high value pick so I am sure they believed he was going to put the weight on and play 3 downs. Brown or anyone else would have been concidered a Schobel replacement. He felll to the second round for a reason. If he was the It wouldn't have happened. Cannot believe you pointed out Nelson our biggest steel for a need in the draft. Criticism on Maybin is fine but really it's pointless at this now since he is our guy and I am growing to like him more and more. Arrington, Lewis, pretty sure there were others behind him but wow that is encouraging. Arrington even came to Buffalo with him. So step behind him He is a Bill now! GO BILLS!!!

What I want to see from TE is a strong second half of the season. As soon as some cold creeps up on him he seems to fall apart. His QB rating was close to 100 and granted the quality of defenses Buffalo played in the first half of the year was poorest in the NFL. But the same happened his rookie season. I need a strong second half before TE is the real future for Buffalo IMO. Along with that a serious increase in TDs. But I try not to ask too much of anyone

I originally posted what will the pick be but "who" is really what I was going for.

Who do you think our next pick is going to be. I like what I saw from Alex Boone OT purely from combine. 6'7" 328, bench 33 times and still clocked in the top 10 for 40 yard dash. If you want a guy to build up as a starter for a late round pick, I like this one. "By no means is Boone perfect -- see game tape against speedy Florida and LSU past BCS games, or his arrest for driving under the influence in April 2006 -- but NFL teams will take into account his steady play, durability and willingness to work. He's a four-year starter who was named All-Big Ten the past two seasons. Boone may lack the athleticism to handle left tackle in the NFL, but he could enjoy a lengthy career on the right side. Had an arm span of 34 3/8 inches and a hand span of 9 7/8 inches at the combine." Just found this little bit of info, but if we think we can straighten him out, looks like that may be the reason he fell.

Now I can sleep well tonight OLine!!! Still a miss with another DB...

Duke who??? He probably has no clue who that is.

You look like a pretty smart person... Why are you a Bills fan???

A new owner...
