Van_phelaN1 Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 I just knew someone would make a post like this If only someone had made a post like this before about whether or not we should post about hindsight. Nobody ever gets it right around here. Think of all the fans that other boards have that we could have had...
Delete This Account Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 have you seen matthew? Physical beast and great 40 time. Could deliver a hit like none other. Amazing reactions too that's the past, though. can he help in the future? jw
Ozymandius Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Don't do the crime unless you can do the time. The Bills can stop hindsight opinions by starting to make good personnel decisions. And you can root for another team if you want to stop hearing them.
NoSaint Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Consider the past, or you're doomed to repeat it. I suppose, mike, I must ask- how does me knowing the past do anything for buddy nix not repeating marv levys mistakes? Or do you mean I just shouldn't be surprised on draft day, as I used to often be? Don't do the crime unless you can do the time. The Bills can stop hindsight opinions by starting to make good personnel decisions. And you can root for another team if you want to stop hearing them. Oz- who has done the crime? Not I, or your other fellow posters.... Which begs the question, why punish us with repetitive posts criticizing the front office. Unless of course, if the crime you are talking about is being born into bills fanhood.

Captain Hindsight Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 HINDSIGHT POST ARE DUMB! Dont censor me
Mr_Blizzard Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 what we could have, should have done post....are stupid and pointless.... If we traded up more we could have got Ben..if we didnt trade up for losman we could have got Rodgers....We could have got Matthew over maybin... Looking back to what old management, did means nothing to what new management is doing.... btw: just because we drafted any of those players doesnt mean they would have worked out as Bills players, but of other factors...and things that happen off the field.... Woulda, coulda, shoulda . . . It doesn't matter anymore; you can't change the past. Hopefully Buffalo is able to change its luck by drafting better and improving its free-agent acquisitions.
OldTimer1960 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Well, obviously, we all knew how the following guys that fit the Bills' needs at the time would turn out because we read some mock drafts by journalists who copied other journalist's mock drafts. Tyson Jackson - DE went before Maybin and while he has contributed hasn't lived up to his draft status Andre Smith - mammoth OT from Alabama was dominant in college and the Bengals nabbed him early. Has done nothing. Brian Orakpo - Has proven to be a very very good player. Would have been a better pick than Maybin (by far). Brian Cushing - lots of rumors of steroid use and, lo and behold, he has already been suspended for using. Was a dynamite player before the suspension, not clear how he will do after the bust. Larry English - LB, not much more productive than Maybin has been. Robert Ayers - was a very popular guy around here leading up to the draft and has done little to nothing so far in the NFL Clay Mathews - Was a 1 year starter at USC and was undersized until he put on considerable weight leading up to the draft ('roids? HGH?). Clearly a great pick, but he lasted until pick 26, so the Bills weren't the only team to clearly f-up and not draft him. There were lots of questions like "why couldn't he crack USC's starting lineup until his SR year? EVERY SINGLE YEAR there are draft busts and lots of them were projected to go very high. There are also stars from every draft who were passed over by lots of teams. Now, I am not trying to defend the Bills' draft record as they have clearly missed on too many high picks, but I am saying that there are no sure things in round 1 or anywhere else in the draft.
AReed Deep For 7 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 We SHOULDN'T have started Rob Johnson vs Tennessee lol
Bob in STL Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Consider the past, or you're doomed to repeat it. Consider it, but don't dwell in it.
