Sounds a lot like his other half, McGee. Good point.

It's sad that all it takes is keeping the Bills in Buffalo to be considered great. That's small town mentality. We should be aiming much higher now. Considering the moving of a team is actually a fairly rare event, I guess we should be placing all the multimillionaire (or billionaire, for many) faces on the side of a mountain.

I agree, but was there anything "methodical" about this hiring? Did they do an exhaustive search looking for the right guy? It doesn't appear the Sabres did their due diligence in searching for Huff's replacement, but instead took the easy way out. I'm always quick to complain about the Bills, but at least Nix took his last coaching hire seriously. I hate to say this, but perhaps Darcy needs some oversight much like Russ Brandon is doing. I'm not sure Ted Black is doing what he should be doing here. We have the coach now, so I guess we really can label the Sabres as the NHL's farm team.

Yeah, I don't know about this. I'll repeat what others have said: not very inspiring. That said, I don't think we know enough about this guy except he is probably a Darcy yes-man who will not rock Darcy's sinking ship. Anyone else get the feeling Pegula just doesn't care any more?

This trade is a head-scratcher for this very reason. I've never seen Hughes play, but stat-wise, he did seem to "turn the corner". Considering Nix has a proven track record of turning garbage into gold, I think we may have just picked up a very good player.

I decided the have scrambled eggs for breakfast this past weekend. I broke the eggs into a bowl, careful not to get any shells in it. I then proceeded to whack those eggs. Before I knew it, I had tears streaming down my cheeks. Why, God, why?

I find it very surreal and even comforting that people think the Bills took the best QB in this year's draft. Who would have guessed?

This is rather strange. If they're so buddy buddy, why don't they just meet at a bar and have a few together? Why is this even being reported? Since they're playing each other this season, Bellicheat could be scheming to drop some misinformation or flat out try to gain the upper hand.

Actually, the concern with Miami is Tannehill. They're betting rather big he's the one who can get them deep into the playoffs. If they're wrong, then it really doesn't matter who they sign during FA.

What I don't understand is why didn't the Bills just select him with their 7th? It's like they were teasing fate with this one. Apparently they were already on the phone with Da'Rick during the draft telling him how much they wanted him and if he didn't get picked, he should sign with the Bills. If the Bills really wanted him, why didn't they just pick him? The kid apparently has a very high ceiling, so high that it was entirely possible for another team to take a gamble and pick him with their 5th-7th. It obviously paid off, but if the Bills were so high on him, why did they even take the chance?

Assuming we trade Mario for Skelton, will Manuel be relegated to 3rd string?

If Brady went in the 1st, he would have been starting in place of Bledsoe. As a result, he would have been the one injured by Mo Lewis and knocked out of the season. As a result, Brady would've been the one traded to the Bills for a 1st and again, as a result, we would have won 3 Superbowls with him.

With the contracts we gave to Edwards and Losman, we've done very well with the rookie contract part, not so well on the premium quarterback part.

Yeah, forgot about that. Need to be very big for that.

I never really completely understood the difference between a WR and TE. I know TEs are usually much bigger and are relied on to block, but if a RB like Spiller can be relied on to pick up blitzes, then a player with the body of a WR should be able to also. So, I really don't know why a bigger WR couldn't be converted to a TE. Perhaps someone can give me more insight.

And a year younger than Eddie Robinson when we picked him up. What do we need him for? To shine on a team lead by a QB who will likely take 2-3 to develop? So, when Manuel is hitting on all cylinders, Dansby's wheels will be falling off and we'll have to sub in a younger LB with limited experience. Let the LBs experience their growing pains now, not later.

We can trade them one of our new WRs, for next year's 1st, of course. In fact, I'd send them Stevie for it, which will probably end up being a top-10 pick.

The other question I have is why did the Colts decide to let Hughes go after his career best year? Although he didn't have a break-out season or one expected of a 1st round pick, he certainly showed improvement over the previous years. Maybe his numbers were a result of garbage time and/or dumb luck, like Maybin's?

Albert has repeatedly said he would only play LT and we already have a very capable LT. End of story.

Kellen Winslow should something left in the tank. He never really used any of it.

I think this signals the end of the Dansby talks. We did not draft a 2nd rounder LB to be depth, Kiko's going to start. And it's about time to poop or get off the pot for Nigel and Moats, so they're going to get their chance to shine. Dansby would have relegated one of them to back-up. We did not want them to be back-up, so we grabbed Hughes for this role. Besides, does anyone know if Dansby can play multiple LB positions (which appears to be a prerequisite)? Plus, out of all the QBs in the draft, although he may have the highest ceiling, Manuel is a project. He's not going to be expected to win this year and maybe not even year (depending on if he sees the field this year). There's no point of signing a high priced veteran this year.

I was really pushing for Nix to sign Buster Highman. I'm really disappointed. It could have been a perfect draft.

If he could talk about it, why didn't he do it on game day? That's the problem, it's easier to talk about doing something than actually doing it. I'm sure Losman won a few Superbowls talking about how he should handle himself in the pocket too. That said, I really hope these concerns are unfounded and I'm behind the pick.

With even Marrone passing on Nassib, I really can't fathom wanting him on our team.

Someone should do a reverse mock draft grade. Compare every pundit's mock to how they were really picked, then grade each mock.
