timmy looks like a gamer, but he can't play qb. he didn't look good at all. maybe he could be a TE. and he is the last guy i'd want to hanging around the sideline. people who can't keep their superstitions to themselves irritate the hell out of me. i rarely try to convert people to zorostrianism.

a hong kong guy eh? i live in taiwan. mondays are hell. getting up at 2 a.m. is rough, but it has been worth it more often than not this year. hong kong rocks. if you are ever looking for a cool lounge bar check out salon no. 5 in central.

you guys are too het up over a mediocre guard with a bad history. he was cut by the rams. the rams. don't think anyone was giving up a 3rd for the guy. it might have been nice to have him around. it might not have been. again, not a big deal. have a ball with the remainder of this scintillating discussion.

is he a guy you're going to count on? who knows how things went in the locker room. maybe the guy was a prick. maybe there was great fear that he would be a prick. maybe he was easily replaceable with less risky prospects. he is a mediocre interior lineman. not bad. not great. a history of volatility. not a big deal in general. logical reasoning without sufficient information is akin to onanism. we are saddled with philosophy as an academic discipline because greeks lacked sufficient scientific information.

yes indeed. cbs has to come to work in the draft room. maybin is (much more likely than not, as in betting my firstborn likely) going to remain in ebon fields. if he played baseball, he'd be riding the pine in batavia.

maybin is amazing. 'shackle his game'? he has a game? there is some tried and true maybin path to success that is being hindered? too much mtv and dora the explorer for that guy.

very good post. i am looking for an improved team next year (maybe wildcard) and a real contender in two years that is built to last.

listening to nfl announcers mangle and randomly throw together words makes me appreciate vin scully all the more.

dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. asian-american, please.

you guys live in a big government hell hole. it is hard to even know what is legal these days in the u.s. they make up and enforce laws at random. i'd be paranoid if i ran a website.

i also fail to see how a qb is an immediate 2nd round need. i've been watching this game for a long time. some qbs have it, some don't. fitz has it. reading defenses is probably well over half the battle in the nfl. fitz does that as well any qb we've had since flutie. flutie had far less tools than fitz. he is not jim kelly, but he is a legit qb. we need line backers and help on the lines. qb can wait.

for the sake of accuracy, this quote is off: They gave journeymen backups (Todd Collins, Alex Van Pelt, Kelly Holcomb) shots. They gave a Canadian League hero and breakfast-cereal entrepreneur (Doug Flutie) a try. They traded a first-round pick to acquire a promising backup (Rob Johnson). They traded a first-round pick to acquire a proven star (Drew Bledsoe). They used a pick in the first round (J.P. Losman) and third round (Trent Edwards) on college hotshots.

never! pro football weekly does ok in their final mock, but until then it is throwing darts. my least favorite TBD time of the year is post-season pre-draft.

don't think they were prepared for the noise and they certainly had no answer for d-line filled with pro bowlers. mckelvin might have the talent to be a 'on the island' cb, but he isn't one right now. the linebackers are woeful as a group, the d-line is average. no news there. gailey can't stop the stupid turnovers though.

i stopped following the sabres after the tom barrasso trade. really.

every time i see it, i am in disbelief anew. the stakes weren't the same, and stevie's job was easier, but it is aking to the wide right feeling.

yup. that is some good stuff. well done.

+100

maybe he would factor into a compensatory pick or some such. i really don't know unless they plan on signing him and want him to soak up the defense. not sure who the bills are set to lose this year in free agency. probably nobody that would factor into a third or fourth round comp pick though. the pickup seems like it was a roll of the dice that came up bad, but without more information it is hard to say for sure. according to kffl we have stroud, mccargo, mcintyre, poz, and florence coming up in free agency. merriman adds to that. though i thought mcintyre signed an extension. i reckon we keep poz and maybe florence. so we lose a few, sign a few. probably not a comp pick deal then. back to the rolling the dice theory.

Important for people to remember! That is Ralph's money and he has quite a bit of it. Mostly from the aforementioned people.

lol!

Exactly

let me add to the chorus: Anyone who doesn't appreciate a win like the one we had today should not be a Bills fan. You don't just win overnight. You build off of this year. You learn to win. You get your head out of your arse and understand that Fitz can lead a winning team. The guy gets better and better. Anyone who wants a rookie quarterback to come in here and lead us to another losing while he may or may not develop is not Bills fan. You don't need to be a history major to know that there is no sure thing in the draft. You also should be able to recognize that teams that go 1-15 are losers and develop a losing culture. yes, the bloody Dolphins turned it around for a year after going 1-15. So what? I'll tell you what, I'll take this team we have over the dolphins any day because this team has cuts, some legit playmakers on offense, and is on the upswing. Next week, instead of watching the Bills, go browse NFL mock drafts and have a good wank. Yes!

is this sarcastic? it doesn't always come through. if not, go watch gran torino and pass out from the vapors.

no doubt. that was the was a huge block. you knew it was on when smerlas did his thing. polian brought dogs out the next year! i remember the news showed on security guy at this game waving everyone down. beginning of a hell of a great time for bills fans. anyone who went through the post chuck knox era knows that this team we have now is far from the worst. still, when we make it back, it might feel just as sweet.
