I've been laughing hysterically for the last 10 minutes about that list. That's how low we've gotten!

I don't know that the offseason will be any different. But really, it's only then that people can start complaining. Complaining now, when everyone knew that we were going to suck, is useless because it is stating the obvious.

I really don't understand the anger prevalent here today. I mean honestly, who expected this team to do anything this season? Would you prefer another 6-10 or 7-9 season, where we aren't bad enough to draft really high, but not good enough to make the playoffs? If anything, the poor performances of folks drafted by Modrak and company likely mean that they're going to be shown the door! Isn't that what people want? Ralph has ALWAYS had a scapegoat after a bad season (of course, he is never to blame) - let me assure you, while Gailey and Nix won't get shown the door (and they shouldn't, since they have nothing to work with in the personnel department), someone will be. Yes, I would like to see them be competitive. But I'd rather them suck, and have the FO wake up and realize that we have dire needs at many positions, than for them to keep mediocre players who occasionally make plays. Gailey's presser today indicates to me that if he has any say, there will be major changes this offseason. I never got that sense from Jauron, Meathead, or Greggggggo. The only thing people should be really unhappy about is the Kelsay extension, since that has the potential to have long-term negative consequences. And yes, it concerns me that they rewarded a very average player with a ridiculous contract. Other than that though, just shut up and wait for April and the draft to come around, and then you have my full blessings to B word if they screw that up again!

I'd put half the DL's issues on their lack of talent, and the other half on the fact that NE* got away with a TON of holding.

The OL was serviceable today, which was pretty surprising to me.

I don't want to see Trent Edwards on the sideline ever again after this game.

Looking good so far, how will they screw up this time?

You do realize that if you're not getting bars on SD broadcasts that it is highly likely that the new box is in zoom mode?

Since the 1970 merger, two OTs have been drafted as the first pick 1997 Orlando Pace OT 2008 Jake Long OT For quarterback: 1970 Terry Bradshaw 1971 Jim Plunkett 1975 Steve Bartkowski 1983 John Elway 1987 Vinny Testaverde 1989 Troy Aikman 1990 Jeff George 1993 Drew Bledsoe 1998 Peyton Manning 1999 Tim Couch 2001 Michael Vick 2002 David Carr 2003 Carson Palmer 2004 Eli Manning 2005 Alex Smith 2007 Jamarcus Russell 2009 Matthew Stafford 2010 Sam Bradford See any patterns there? Teams at the #1 slot since 1998 or so almost always draft the "best" QB available, probably trying to imitate the Colts and Manning. I mean that list is chock full of HOF QBs until Tim Couch got drafted. I honestly know nothing about the upcoming 2011 classes. Is it a particularly strong OT or QB class? If so, I say draft the position that's weaker first to assure you get someone who has promise, and then draft for the other in the second round.

I don't think it matters - none of the three QBs on the roster right now are the answer. Best case scenario for the Bills is to draft a QB or OT in the first round next year and then draft the other position in the second round. During the offseason, trade for an older, veteran QB that can mentor the QB we draft.

Stop it with this nonsense. This team is HORRID. I am not even going to bother wasting time copy/pasting stats or video links to the game. They should have been fined by the NFL for not fielding a team today.

This is precisely why there should be salary floors and cap numbers that increase when your team sucks, and bonuses paid to owners when their team wins. Otherwise your team has no incentive to get better.

The question is who is worse - Trent or the OL? Both of these positions need MAJOR upgrades.

holy crap this offenseive line may indeed be the worst in the history of the NFL...

I am as conservative as they come and yet I hope she just goes away. When Glenn Beck asked her about her favorite founding father, and her answer was, and I quote, "all of them", that tells me that she lacks a basic understanding of American history. As a voter, that troubles me deeply. As a Republican, it tells me that she has no chance to win for the party. As much of a dick as he is, I'd like to see Romney make it. He has the smarts and know-how to run an effective campaign against the messiah who currenly occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Sarah can barely utter a sentence that can easily be comprehended.

I get to watch the game at 7AM from my hotel room in Waikiki on my Slingbox. Last day of vacation

On paper, that is unquestionably true. Particularly given the protection he provided Cano in the lineup. But you have to wonder if there are other factors at play (such as his ability to be a good teammate) that cause issues.

Just curious - if the porch isn't enclosed, how do you keep the TV from getting wet during rainy/windy conditions?

I've used Vivid seats several times - no issues and the prices are reasonable. Just be aware that their service charges are not reasonable nor cheap, but the overall price ends up being in line with stubhub and others.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out what he was talking about, particularly when he referenced "pads". Jauron was infamous for holding easy practices, having TVs in the workout rooms, etc. Gailey is having his players practice in pads and encouraging physical contact. That's what the OP was talking about when he mentioned "football man". Rather than focus on a lingusitic technicality why don't you explain to us why you agree or disagree with the OP's point of view?

Ralph's legacy in my mind will be that he fired Bill Polian and that his poor estate planning has resulted in our team being under constant threat of being moved.
