Meatball and Dareus team up to drive their All Pro NT into Sanchez for a sack. Tebow comes in and the revamped Bills defense is able to keep Tebow contained and force him to make mistakes just like last year. The Bills offense spends a LOT of time on the field and from there read the Senators post for the remainder of the story.

Brady no - This would be like taking a cop out. My #1 priority is to beat this C%#K sucker. Sanchez no - Not in a million years. Tannehill no - You have to be kidding me on this one. Weeden no - Where do you get such stupid ideas. Flacco no - He is not better than Fitz Big Ben no - good QB... lacks more important qualities Dalton no - No NFL experience Schaub no - Not better than Fitz Luck no - no NFL experience Hasselback no - too old Gabbert no - he has a long ways to go Manning no - not sure he would be able come back from his neck problems Palmer no - Good QB but old Rivers no - Good QB but he isn't right for this team Cassell no - no way Fitz is a unifying force on this team. While there are better choices from a statistical point of view, there is no way I trade Fitz in favor of them. Now if you want to talk about trading Thigpen that's different. Fitz....that's just crazy talk. BTW, all of you who would trade Fitz in favor of Brady FU.

So that's why Nix traded up and gave up a draft pick....So we could give give Fred a raise.

Thigpen came to this team when we had that whole NFL and player negotiation stuff going on. He didn't have a bunch of Bills WRs coming to his house in the off season like Fitz. I'll give him a chance to build better chemistry with them. Honestly, a full off season to work with the QB coach and Chan will help him too. He looked pretty lost last year but I think he'll come around. As for third string, the Bills are doing the right thing and looking for a young guy they could possibly develop. Really, I think people here are bit too quick to toss stuff on the trash heap. Kind of understandable....we haven't had a decent QB for so long that we tend to be overly critical of our QB's every move. Having guys like Rob Johnson, Drew Bledsoe and Trent Edwards around has kind of warped our perception of things. I also think that all of those guys had one thing in common....they all lead the league in sacks. All were pocket passers who could have done OK with plenty of time to throw. None would get rid of the ball like Fitzy. I don't know if that can be attributed to better coaching or if Fitz is the first to realize the importance of getting the ball out quick. Whatever the reason, we are sitting in a very good spot right now. No one outside of Buffalo knows what we know and no one is expecting the Bills to lead our division in wins. I am looking forward to watching some very surprised looks on people's faces this year. Personally, I think all of the QBs who end up on the final roster will look decent this year with all of the added depth we have on our offensive line. We all ready know our RBs can take some pressure off the QB too. It's an interesting year. This is the first time in years that I feel confident about our teams trench guys. The big men up front are going to make our whole team look better and not just on offense either. Some of us need to step back a little and look at the big picture. Enjoy it guys. Things are looking up.

We have seen 3 years of solid upgrades to the defense, in both the draft and in free agency. There really is reason to be optimistic.

Interesting. 6'3". Fitz to Fitz. I like it.

Why not.... Lombardi did. Chris Brown Blog

Thigpen will be better this year.

Linky I found this a pretty informative article. It's possible that some teams in the top 4-5 will value other positions over OT. That would make Matt Kalil a hot commodity and some teams may start looking for a trade up partner to get him. Could get interesting. I was also impressed with some of the offensive linemen that will be available in the latter rounds. I say offensive linemen because there are guards that can play tackle and guards that can play center too. It's a bit of a moving target trying to nail down where the Bills will get a LT but I am kind of intrigued by the possibilities.

Not bad at all Astro.....except you couldn't remember our 2nd string QB's name.

Not bad. or The Lake Effect Blitzard!

The Blitzard!!!

Why would Miami trade up for Tannehill when he will likely still be there at #8?

Getting Kyle Williams back, our addition of Marcel Dareus last year, getting Anderson along with Mario Williams is absolutely fantastic. All four of these guys on the line at the same time is a load. Wannstedt is going back to a 43 in part because he knows it is a passing league, but also because he recognizes the need to put our best players on the field at the same time. Williams and Dareus alone are a match up nightmare. Adding a couple of high profile DEs really changes the dynamic. Now with all of that said, I don't think Mario Williams alone is the key. The Bruce Smith years were most productive when the Bills had Ted Washington and Bryce Paup. Combine Mario Williams with the other talent on this team and now your talking. I'm really looking forward to what this year's group can do. Bad things, man.

I kind of agree about your rule of thumb on getting bigger guys first, but we are not selecting as early as last year. The top big guys will all ready be gone and the second tier big guys will be there in the second round. I am thinking a top tier CB or WR will fall to us in the first. Maybe not. We might get lucky on another front. Just trying to emphasize that the pick could be a position no one is talking about because of his stock value when our number is called. Everyone wants a pass rusher or a dominant tackle but if the top tier ones are off the board, you get the best player available even if he isn't one of the big nasties we all want.

I wouldn't mind that either.

Stranger things have happened.

Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU. And like Buddy said, the draft is deep at DE. We will get a quality pass rusher in the second round. In the third round, that is where they finally get a tackle. OK, maybe not, but we will not be reaching for a tackle in round one. This team went 1-1 with one of the Superbowl teams last year and nearly beat the other. The Bills will not be reaching for any player in the draft. They'll just continue to build by getting value at every pick. Once we finally kill the injury bug....look out. We might get a top rated WR if one falls in our laps. It's all about value.

You cannot fault the fans for the stadium not selling out when the team just lost seven consecutive games.

Against Washington, the Bills put an explanation point on the lack of a pass rush to that point. Now that the D has that taste in their mouth, you can bet that they will continue to put an emphasis on getting to the passer. Look out, Sanchez. The Jets do have a good defense and can cause some problems. Gailey has done a great job of stretching some very good defenses thin with the spread offense and then poking holes in it though. I can see a hard fought, low scoring game and I can also see a game where the Bills run away with it. Jets win though, in our house? Ain't happening. Add the shellacking that the Bills got from this team last year and you are looking at a team that is extremely motivated to take them down hard. The Jets will be dumbfounded and wondering how they are going to save their season after this game. As for the Jet offense, I am just not impressed. Bills win. Mark it down.

5th sack? When this become a part of Bills Football?

Heard and Darius with a bull rush up the middle early will definitely scare the crap out of Manning.

NE doesn't have a pass rush.

Bills and Green Bay in the SB?

Nice Marcel
