Saint Doug

I just check this guy out and wonder why we don't hear his name more often.

If anything, this game argues for the need of a franchise QB. No way GB wins it with a Dilfer-type QB.

Eminem Chrysler commercial was excellent. Best so far. Commercials otherwise a let down.

Yes, it is a very slippery slope. The DOHS was originally intended to protect us from terrorism on our home soil. Somehow, someway they became involved in cracking down on the distribution of copyrighted material. I echo another poster, what this has to do with terrorism is beyond me. Perhaps they should stick to their original aim - fighting terrorism. Here is an article about how they seized and shutdown particular websites that distributed music: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/27/technology/27torrent.html

The wave is coming? I thought the wave was already at its peak in the mid-2000's with the drafting of Young and Russell. Where has Chan been? Oh yeah, playing around in college football.

I think they're going to dangle the carrot to see if any dumb team will bite and give them a #1 pick. Otherwise, logic says they will keep him. He's good insurance for the dog killer who has only started a full season once in his career.

In addition to the funding of a dogfighting operation, there were many other charges on the table. That is, many other charges were dropped as part of his plea deal (drugs found in home, taxes). Of course these other charges were not slam dunks like the dog fighting charge (where everywhere you looked there was damning evidence). Although Vick was never found guilty in the court of law for these charges, Vick has not "repaid society" for them. Anyone who believes Vick doing jail time makes him now an innocent person should read "The Lost Dogs" by Jim Gorant. It has all the details, everything from the incident where Vick and his buddy held a dog like a jump rope and proceeded to slam it against the ground repeatedly to that abortion of a state prosecutor, Gerald Pointdexter. It's a great read.

I guess this quote says it all. Michael is indeed "good people". And thrown in the Obama name drop too for good measure. As for this endorsement, I guess it was a smart move by the no-name company. This publicity is the best advertising they have ever paid for likely. Basically, they sign the felon and they get their company name plastered on all sports-related sites (and others). Can't really beat that advertising. And exactly where would we be if we did have him? Still sitting at home. I'll stick with Fitz. So, a convicted felon goes to jail, does his time, and then we are all suppose to like him and give him a pat on the back? Is that how it really works? No. Doing jail time just means that you legal debt for your offense against society has been repaid. It certainly does not mean people have to like you, give you second chances, or whatnot. And besides, our current legal system does not even treat convicted felons, who have "repaid their debt to society", full right as a US citizen. In many states, convicted felons lose the right to vote and federally, they lose their 2nd Amendment right.

I highly doubt he'll function as an "assistant HC". Why would we need one, especially from a guy who has failed twice as a HC in the past. In addition, being an AHC, theoretically he should have some input on the offensive side of the ball. Why in the world would Wannstedt be giving advice on the offense when he is a defensive mastermind? No, he was brough in, not to "focus" on the defensive side, but to help run the defense and only the defense. Besides, what other title would you have given him? Assitent LB coach? We already have a LB coach, so he couldn't get that title. HE would have to an assitant LB coach. No, that would be quite a demotion with a lot less salary attached to it. And besides, with this title he is not likely to leave the Bills in the future. HE will only be able to make a lateral move. Thus, if a team wants to poach him, they'll either have to make him assistant HC or HC outright. That's not likely to happen. Absolutely right. Or, he is the DC when we are running the 4-3 or a variant of it.

I'll take him for an incentive-laden the vet minimum contract for 1-2 years. The dude has too many question marks to be taken seriously. Where theres's smoke, there's fire. In fact, its highly possible he'll be entirely out of football soon. Remember when he was supposed to be entirely healthy, then a couple days later he's placed on season-ending IR? Too many strange occurences and excuses with him.

One who has "comeback" from the place Vick came from really has nothing to be proud of.

I don't know why you even did all that work. Comparing the Bills 2009 & 2010 defenses is like comparing apples to oranges. So much changed; a whole new defense philosophy and over 1/2 the players. Based on that, one could never be able to compare them and say the differences are just due to Mr skooby.

You forgot Kelsay.

If Harbaugh leaves Stanford, this could turn out to be a very foolish move. A coach could come in there and install a totally different system - one that he doesn't adapt to well enough. It's actually a good thing he'll be getting his degree.

I don't know much about him and haven't seen him play, but he's a junior from Mizzou that is going to declare for the draft and the media has been really talking him up lately.

Geez, I look through that list and it's full of players that were still on the draft board when the Bills were picking.

He'll sign with the Pats to a 1 year veteran minimum. Really, he hasn't played like his former self for 3 years. And to top it off, he's still injured with no real recovery in sight. No team with a quarter of a brain will thrown tons of money at him. In fact, he may not even be signed and may just retire.

Merry Christmas to all! Now, let me have a win.

Geez guys! Pretty harsh. It probably would be a good idea to have Brohm get some time - but for a totally different reason. He needs real game experience. And besides, we're not in contention for anything. There may be a time when (God forbid) Fitz gets hurt and Brohm has to step in for a game or two. It would be nice if he had some real game experience so it's not a complete disaster.

Ok, let's all put down the Kool-Aid and get real here. Who exactly are all these late-round or undrafted gems everyone is talking about? Besides our WRs, whose production is likely more of a reflection of Fitz and Chan, who are they? Maybe they are slipping my mind now. I'm serious. Who on defense, for example, that was late-round or undrafted, is ripping it up? The only one I can think about is Moats, but I would exactly call him very late round.

The Bills are just a football team. That is, they exist to entertain us. We watch them because it's fun and exciting. Something to distract us from the same old, same old. For us fans, its not about winning. It's about having a good time. Most of our livelihoods don't depend on the Bills winning, so let's sit back and enjoy it. Therefore, the 2010 edition of the Buffalo Bills make me happy. They serve their purpose.

Well, can't say that wasn't unexpected. I love how he makes this sound like it's the Bills problem. The Bills are causing this. The Bills don't want him back. Why doesn't he grow some stones and say "Based on my contract negotiations up to this point, I have decided not to sign it and leave the Bills.

This is exactly what he is thinking. Truth is, Buffalo probably low-balled him and since he has now been "dissed" by this offer, he will now make it sound like he is the victim here. Because they offered him a contract not up to his standards, it is the Bills that don't want him, not Whitner turning the Bills down. But, I guess this is kinda good. I would rather hear about players complaining about their contract before they sign it, not 1-2 years after signing it. But, unfortunately, it occurs in both sets of circumstances.

Geez, it looks like if the first guy didn't trip him, the others down the line would. And I was really surprised by that article above, the stuff Tasker says. I really didn't think Tasker was bending the rules that much back in his prime. I'd like to think of him as a character guy who did everything by the book, not hurdling the oppositions bench to gain an advantage. I know it wasn't against the rules back then, but the game was meant to be played within the big white lines, not outside of them.

Sorry, I had to.
