One of two things happens this week the Bills win this week, pulling us all back in. Thinking maybe there is hope for this year. i always qoute the line from Godfather 3 when it comes to Buffalo 'Just when i think i am out, they pull me back in!' Or and probably more likely, They get destroyed, and in the lose Lynch gets hurt, thus ending any possible trade help. I know call me one of the pessimists. But this season is going to test us as fans.

Trent looked horrible, but so did the line. The worse thing that could of happened did on the first possesion. He gets hit hard on his blindside, and he simply played scarred from then on. Now i dont much blame him, playing behind that line. Every oline man played pretty poorly. Heck even Wood got over powered at least a few times. I was hoping that the team could come together by around week 8. And was going to judge them from the second half of the season on. But i just cant see how Trent progress'. He is scarred and it shows. He has 'happy' feet. And is way to quick to check down. I hope i am wrong, but i dont think even Chan can fix Trent.

Who the hell is Wickersham?

You will see Maybin in some stunts this year, once a crease opens, sort of a safety blitze. Where he would wait one beat, then curve off the NT butt. Your NT moves the center down, and Maybin fills the gap. You cant coach speed, he has that. Now if he can just learn what to do with it, and the angles to take, he could have some impact on the game.

You are correct. I know people were upset about not getting a LT or QB this draft. but at 9 Spiller was the best player by far. Jackson is a good back, not great. Lynch is Lynch. I really have no clue. He can look great and also look like he has no clue where to run. Spiller is the type of game changer that Buffalo hasnt had forever. Maybe a team has a few injuries and the Bills then can take advantage of the situation. Buffalo would then have another 3rd or maybe 2nd rounder to play with

Your qb would not last half a season in a read-option offense in the NFL. You want your qb taking those hits? The 'Wildcat' is similiar, but even then teams have running backs line up as the qb.

As someone who works with 22-26 year old people, i am amazed at how immature this age group is as a whole. Brohm may need time to mature. Not sure he wins the job or not, but could explain why he buckled in GB.

Chuck KNox told me and my cousin that Santa Claus was dead. I was 10 cousin was 6. So i knew the truth but my cousin was upset-True Story.

For the past 3 years i have been thinking this. And until other teams in the league treat the Pats like the Ravens did in the playoffs they will keep winning. The Ravens did not look at the uniforms or Bellichek, they played football and beat the crap out of the Pats. When/if the Bills do this and the rest of the AFC east i will agree they are done.

The way i hear it he walked around the locker room all year talking about retireing. Saying he wanted to go and be on his ranch. That is all he deserves to me. You deserve in this life what you earn. he has earned a lot of money and therefore the right to retire. How many of you would like to retire in your early 30's? I mean come on. He is a decent player, but that is not the talk or actions of a leader. Get to work or stay home. But i am 100% behind the Bills. Oh and they own him, so you tell him show up and play or sit home. I would not trade him either.

I actually spoke with a scout that was in the war room the morning of the draft in Indy. He told me that they were going back and forth on Leaf and Manning right up to the pick. Polian swears there was never any doubt, which of course he would say. But just think how different the last 12 years would have been for Indy if they had gone with Leaf.

To me it seems as if you have two guys who like each other and can work well together in Gailey and Nix. They really do seem to have a plan and a shared vision. I like the direction they will take this team. I do not however think they will get the Bills to the super bowl but will start the rebuilding process and actually make the Franchise into a profesional team again.

I am not a fan of any of them. None has done a thing really. Flashes dont count. Brohm is the unknown. I think he gets his shot this year at some point.

Well but Spurrier was a great college coach in FLA, mediocre in SC. Chan was Mediocre at Ga Tech, mostly due to recruiting. In the NFL he wont have to worry about that.

Didnt TE com ein and start as a rookie? so he can also pick up a 'system' pretty quick. Fitz is a backup, just like Kelly Holcomb was. He is a band aid till your starter gets healthy. I am afraid that TE is damaged. We can hope a new regime brings in a new confidence, but i doubt it. Brohm is the unknown. Maybe he can develope maybe not. The ATL game was no indication of his skills. No Bill wanted to be here that day. Brown is a project. Ultimately the Bills really dont have a long term solution on this team right now, just a lot of ifs and buts.

Living here in Atl and being friends with some Ga Tech boosters, the knock on Chan was that he belonged in the pros. He was much to leinant on the players. Make no mistake he is a great X and Os guy. And at the pros that is what you need. But you are right he was not good at recruiting for the most part, except Calvin johnson. And i am a UGA fan

Can the Bills trade Lynch over the summer or during training camp? Not sure if this year is any dif with the collective barganing thing. My point is hold onto him now. See how negotiations go with Spiller and thus how he does in camp. Some other team could get an injury or two at running back. The Bills then could get something fair like a 2nd. i think a 2nd rounder for a one time probowler would be a far deal.

True, But as a fan you got to like the fact that the Bills addressed the lines finally thru the draft. They did not draft a single DB. Think that was coincidence?

We are going to have to be patient. this could be the draft that turns the corner in Buffalo, and gets the Bills back to being a competitve team. With more quality drafts like this we as fans might finally have something to cheer about in January...and one day Feb! Go bills!

See Orlando Pace of last year.

I spoke with a couple of Bills trainers who have gotten to know him. They all said he had been talking all year about retiring. That he just wants to go hangout on his ranch and enjoy life. They said they really did not believe he would be back. That he does not care about money.

I have talked to a scout, he told me that he likes Bradford a lot. He is the Matt Ryan of this years draft. I therefore think there is no chance in hell he is there at 9. But if he is the Bills should run to the podium. Not so sure about Clausen. i have not spoken to my friend about him. This scout was in on the pick of Ryan and also a certain QB in Indy. So yeah he knows a thing or two about evaluating QBs.

Dont know if you guys remember Campbells college career at Auburn. But it was much the same as his pro career for the first three years. Glimpses of good things but over all disappointment. Then his senior season Auburn brings in a new OC and something just clicked with him. Campbell had a great senior campaign and went on to boost his draft status accordingly. I dont know how much seriousness there is to Whitner for Campbell rumor. But i would not want to give up much more then Whitner for Campbell. Bills will need ever pick if they are serious about switching to the 3-4. And inproving the Oline.

I like Suh a lot. But saying 'you get a lot better fast' is not totally correct . Tell me when is the last time a rookie Dline man made a huge impact? I mean a game changer. Now i can tell you the last time a QB did that, or a RB or heck a LB or FS, but not a Dlineman, especially an interior one

To me it seems like when Brohm had a good coach, Petrino, he succeeded. He has not had a good qb coach it seems like since he has gotten to the NFL. Gailey is credited as being a good qb coach. Or maybe hire Brohm brother to coach him lik ehe did at Louisville. If nothing else may have your number two qb for the next ten years.
