Gotta love McNeill, I'd be thrilled with him, but with the re-addition of Fearless Peerless I honestly believe that Marv has no interest in early-round Recievers. Stovall would be HUGE, but I would LOVE to have Martin Nance instead. I'm gonna give the big no to O'Callaghan, he's a great athelete and could be the second or third best tackle out there, but he's injury-prone and that'd be a bust off the bat. Darnell Bing would be nice, but Daniel Bullocks would be a better fit IMHO, he's a talented player with speed and size who can also make the big hits if he can get his head in the right place every down.

Of Course we should trade him for a late 1st or early second. I know for a fact the Steelers are in need of a good corner (living in Pittsburgh), and that other teams would fall head over heels for Nate. This way, with an early second or late first, you have two choices. One, you pick up Marcus McNeill or Eric Winston to help with the O-Line, or pick up Ashton Youboty (haha.. yeah right...) or Kelly Jennings and work them in with Terrance. We're good for this year at LB, A possiblity trade for a Michael Huff spot would be nice, or even pass up on Ngata (although I see huge potential) for a later Gabe Watson or Claude Wroten at DT. O- Line needs help, and I think Marcus McNeill is our answer. Pick him second round though, don't want another MWilliams.

PESIMISTIC BASTARDS Why does no one have faith in the team that they love!? YOU SPEND YOUR FREE TIME ON A MESSAGE BOARD TALKING ABOUT THEM! :dies:

alright idea, I just dont like the sound of changing around the name of our beloved stadium, but it would add some good finance.

I'd definitley go with a tall Wide Reciever. After the whole Oline and Dline thing is taken care of then I'd like to work on our playmakers. I find our non-fatboys to be OK other than at quarterback, but I think some height would do us good in the Recieving area. Tim Euhus has the height, but the health isn't there, we also know he has good hands for a TE. Not too sure, but I'll delve in to is some more.

I just want to see them send Moulds over the middle and have TKO light him up before he even gets the ball. I'll take 15 yards of pain anyday over the Texans.

I think, of all the teams in the NFL, that the Bills are of course one of the top picks to move to LA, but there are many other factors not taken in to consideration. First, the team is anchored in WNY. From a monetary value, we are NOT one of the lowest grossing teams. Second, the team that is number one in the running to move to LA is the New Orleans Saints. They aren't going back to New Orleans anytime soon, and in rumors/talks they have been the #1 choice to move. I'm a pessimistic person that is optomistic about the Bills, but I whole heartedly believe that someone will save this team and keep them in WNY.

Yes, you take AJ if he's still there, and No, we should not pick up Vernon Davis. He's a good player, but we already have that position filled with Everett and Euhus/Royal

I agree with the tailgating. It shall be amazing.

Knew I was spelling that wrong... Debacle...

rob johnson has a poin... wait a second, rob johnson!?

I used to love Eric... DAMN YOU ERIC, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO US

1) What County in PA 2) I can't wait either. Anything for JP = Good.

The man is a hard worker, his mind may be decaying, but he's a good man...

I'd rather get a 5th rounder than a salary cut and nothing.

Sabres, but Tom got me in to Brass Bonanza (pumps fist)

(Intermission) And now, for the Offense. Running Back - Willis McGahee, Shaud Williams, Lionel Gates. ---I don't know about you guys, but I like Shaud Williams. He's a quick little guy that hits the hole and runs. I may only be seeing this because the Bills would go shotgun and hand it off to him on 3rd down and 14, but I digress. I think with Willis being up and down health-wise, we have a solid backup who can at least get the job done. He can't drive, but if he gets room he'll be a Willie Parker of sorts, minus the whole strength thing. Willis doesn't need to be commented on, I think we can agree that he's set there until his contract expires. Fullback - Daimon Shelton, Joe Burns (sort of) ---Shelton is getting older, but then again who on this team isn't. He's a decent blocker, but I like the little trick they have in throwing him the ball onc ein a while. He's proven that he's got hands. Joe Burns is a good backer, in both aspects. He can block, but we've also seen him run the ball from the back position. I think he's a good asset to the back up squad and can perform when called on. Wide Reciever - Lee Evans, Roscoe Parrish, Josh Reed, Andre Davis, Sam Aiken, Jon Smith, George Wilson ---A speed group, our recieving corp seems to be built completely on speed. With our tallest reciever being at 6'2", we lack the height of a TO type player, but with our top 3 all being under 6', I think we're ok. (Note: I don't count Davis at 6'1" as on of the top 3 yet) No high jumps in the endzone, but very quick and agile players that can be playmakers if they put their minds and quickness to it. Lee Evans was great last year, but is faulty as the "go to" guy. Josh Reed gets criticism, expecially from me, since it was almost a given that JP looked for him every time he threw. Roscoe, and I will stick by this til proven wrong, will do great things. I think he'll do good on ST, I think he can make big plays if given the right QB. Andre Davis is a good add on, although he had a slumping year in a Pats uni and missed the first few games. Aiken is a great ST player, and Smith and Wilson are decent backups. Tight End - Tim Euhus, Robert Royal, Kevin Everett, Ryan Neufeld (Still with the team? I need clarity on this) ---There's much speculation as to the strength of our Tight Ends. Some say we have a solid group together, while others say that we're lacking something. I am with the solids. Tim Euhus is a jack-of-all-trades, but a master of none. At 6-5 I think he's great height for a recieving TE, and he also has pretty good hands for a big guy. The one thing he needs to work on is blocking, but with the addition of Robert Royal, he has that taken care of. Royal is a great blocker, and if we go back to the old 2 tights scheme then this should be an alright duo. Kevin Everett has yet to prove he's ready for the big leagues, but I anticipate his play on the field. The Line - Oi... Look, I'm not going to delve in to this one. I don't feel like getting torn apart, but we all know that we need a line. I like Villarial, why? He's a vet and he went to the college I'm going to. That's about it. Fowler is a good addition, and I think Peters is one of the few (if any) good lineman we have. Pray folks, pray. Quarterback Debochle - Kelly Holcomb, Craig Nall, JP Losman, Tory Woodbury (if you count Tory) ---I could argue this 'til I'm dead, but I think our best bet is Holcomb. *avoids thrown objects* I agree, he is NOT starter material, but I've said it before and I'll say it again. HE PRODUCES. When you even up JP and his stats from last year, with nearly the same amount of attempts, Holcomb had better numbers. Sure, you'll throw at me that the D was weaker or something along those lines, but I just don't have faith in JP. I may just be sick of being an obsessed fan of a losing team, but I need results, a freaking playoff run is all some of us ask. Ahem... sorry, got carried away, but as I was saying, if we don't have a set starter coming out of camp, I'd go with KH. I want Craig Nall to prove he's worth something, and I think he has this set up by having JP as the example of what NOT to happen when you start, and Holcomb as the vet advisor (think Shane Matthews with the clipboard, but actually doing something). He's big, he's got an arm, and his numbers are pretty good for a backup. I do not believe we will have a good quarterback this year, but miracles happen. I'm doing this to look at our team in a good light, rather than the way we usually do by tossing dirt and rubbing our vintage memorobilia to pray that Thurman comes back at full health. I have done as much as I could to try to get a good analysis of our team, but I want to see your opinions too. PS: if I made a mistake, one post clarifying it would suffice, thanks.

By vicious criticism I didn't mean rag on me about putting Bennie instead of Tim. MY SINCEREST APOLOGIES. By quarterback-less, I thought it would be evident I meant "no starting QB", and Yes... We Need Some Brass Bonanza.

I'd like to stray from the topic of draft picks and "what we need" and go in to "what we have." I'd like you to share your cruel criticism and not-so-cruel crit, since I know some of you will toss in two cents to humiliate and destroy self-esteem (coughHolcombsArmcough) I'll start with the Defense as of 04/04, since it seems to be our only hope with a quarterback-less offense. Defensive Tackle - Larry Triplett, Benny Anderson, Lauvale Sape. ---I find Larry Triplett to be a huge addition to the D-Line (literally). We all seem to want a rookie to magically come in and fix the D-line, but with the addition of a 4-year vet in Triplett, I think he'll anchor nicely. Benny needs improvement, which is where I find the draft choice to come in to play. If we can solidify a nice, big DT, then we should have at least a slight advantage over last years debochle called "run stopping". I won't really talk about Lauvale Sape because... well... he's Lauvale Sape. Defensive End - Aaron Schobel, Ryan Denney, Chris Kelsay ---Aaron Schobel is a PB calibur player. He's got speed and strength. His 12 sacks were huge last year, and he is a great pass rusher. His 71 tackles also help a little... I think we're sealed with him and he's got years left in him. The merry-go-round of Kelsay/Denney at LE is a slight problem. Kelsay is the starter, but I seemed to see 92 on the field a lot last year. Kelsay was ok with his 45 tackles lasy year, the fluke interception, and 2.5 sacks, but it just proves his strength as a run-stopper rather than an all around D-end (Schobel). Denney's stats were mediocre, but I find his slight height advantage a plus for a backup, giving him a heads up in passing situations. His 35 tackles with the 4 sacks help him out, and with this Cover 2 scheme coming in then he may become the upper hand with his versatility. Linebackers - Takeo Spikes, London Fletcher, Jeff Posey, Josh Stamer, Angelo Crowell, Mario Haggan, Liam Ezekial. ---Solid. We are solid at Linebacker in my opinion. Three vets that work well together, and a healthy TKO = dangerous. London always puts up the numbers (no matter if they are 8 yards downfield) and Posey is, although not PB material, a solid LB. Good backups in Crowell and Haggan are good, as proven by last years fill ins for TKO. No problems here, except that we'll need new ones in a few years. Cornerback - Nate Clements, Terrence McGee, Eric King, Jabari Greer. --- Terrence McGee has proven himself to be a worthy CB2. Our CB1, however, didn't prove himself last year. Nate needs to step up the play, he made a mockery of himself in the Chargers game but we know he has the potential. Very weak backups. Very, very weak backups (Jabari Greer, I only remember burn marks) Safety - Troy Vincent, Matt Bowen, Coy Wire (shudder), Rashad Baker. --- Dear lord help us all. An upside with veteran Troy, he's got the skill to be an asset this year, but with his age we know the gas tank is getting smaller. The tragedy that is the Coy Wire/Matt Bowen spot is scary. We need solid SS's, and Special Teams Stud and the new guy just don't have what it takes IMO. I think we should pick up a good SS in the draft, I have a feeling these two aren't worth 2 cents. Time constraints are choking me here, so I'll post my Offensive analysis shortly. Again, this is my analysis, from a long time, obsessed Bills fan. Criticism is greatly appreciated.

Do I have vision problems or am I seeing that none of you have Holcomb as being good. Let's see... JP... 1-7... Kelly Holcomb... 4-4... Interesting. If you count the game where JP came in for KH (Was that the KC game?) that gives him a little more... but I beg to differ. With near identical amounts of time to prove something, HOLCOMB PRODUCED. I'm not saying he's good, I'm not saying he's great, but he gets the job done. I'll get ripped for this, but the guy's got something. If anything, he'll be a great mentor for Nall. I look as JP being the lesson, Holcomb being the mentor, and Jauron giving the evil eye to get Nall the starting spot. He's big, he's got a good arm, and I think he'll do good things.

He's past his prime IMO, but he can still make a good impact for the team as a backup/nickel player. He's a good vet, but that'll just make things easy if they put him in a starting role (Lee Evans over his head, TD)

I hope you're right Promo... I know Daunte isn't near his prime anymore, but Will Allen is a little nerve racking. I think he'll do good in their scheme.

I agree with his analysis way too much... but then again aren't all drafts this way? There are the stars that we think will be picked first round and become phenom's *coughAlexSmithcough* that end up being busts *coughAlexSmithcough*. Like Alex Smith... wait... These guys were of course great in college, but it's time for the big leagues.. and honestly I think that Leinart isn't ready. Just my thought...

Refer to above post.

minus Harrington... he's not that big of one... could be better but he's a Losman of sorts...
