QB Bills

on the infinitely miniscule chance that anyone from the bills FO reads this msg (on the 3rd page of a random thread), i say to you this: you people have been stupid for long enough, maybe try being competent on for size, you just might like it...start by re-signing (or, failing that, franchising) your best receiver...thanks

excellent post! possibly the best one i've ever read on this board it leads to one question though...how did you find out where leodis mckelvin lived?

And to think, if Stevie had caught that OT pass against the Steelers, MD would be wreaking havoc for someone else. It would have been next to impossible to screw that pick up and I'm glad they didn't.

as crazy as it sounds, i'm with you here there's a possibility that this team won't be in buffalo for too much longer and it would be great if they just went all-in for the next couple of years again, its probably just a pipe dream, as i doubt he'd want to come here and may not be the same player anyway, but if those two points didn't apply, i think the bills would be stupid not to give up the farm to get him i've always thought he was the best qb in the game and could have done a lot more with a better team and better coaching around him, but my opinion of his talent shot up exponentially this year with how pathetic the colts were without him...i don't think its a stretch to say he's the most talented qb to play the game in the last 30 years it would still be a longshot to win the super bowl, as so many other things have to fall into place, but i think we'd be a contender...he's the one player you can say makes that much of a difference

Not debating who's at fault for his current situation, but I feel bad for the guy. Thought he was great on and off the field his one year here. It can't be easy going from having it all to having nothing. I always got a kick out of his antics. Just think he was too honest about his feelings at times and the media ran with it.

The Bills have played (and subsequently lost) to the NFC representative in the Super Bowl for the last five years running. Considering they only play 4 NFC teams a year, that is quite the coincidence.

I agree. I don't see what's so special about him. I think that Justin Rogers actually showed more potential in the limited time he was in there.

He's been hired, according to Mort.. anyone know anything about this guy?

This is the only thing you've said in this thread that makes sense. You're right, you don't get it. That's because you don't know anything about football. At the end of the day, whether you're a fan who understands the sport or not, the thing we all have in common is that we want the Bills to win. The Peters trade was not an example of a team that shares that philosophy. End of story.

CJ Ah You did the right thing by moving on with your life.

This Stevie controversy is mind-blowing. I can't believe that there are people who actually want him gone. "Fans" who are picking on the only guy who did anything to respond to the taunting the Jets threw our way in the first game are an embarrassment and deserve the crap product they've gotten the last 12 years. If some other guys on this team had half the passion he does, we wouldn't be lamenting another lost season. Unfortunately, there's too many current players/fans that have no problem bending over and taking it up the you-know-what under the cloak of "beat 'em on the scoreboard" and "act like you've been there before". Give it a rest. Its a game of emotion and if somebody disrespects you, I'll take a guy who will fight back in any way possible, even if his team's losing. The guy adds some colour and excitement to the deep, dark abyss that is our football team but we should low-ball him or run him out of town because of what is essentially three 15 yard penalties? I'll take the 7 points and a kickoff from the 20 every time he gets a TD rather than watch our stubby-fingered QB throw to donald jones as his top wideout next year.

Considering they gave the Josh Reed of QBs a 60 million dollar deal, the Tony Romo of WRs should be paid handsomely. Perfectly stated. This is a no-brainer. Sign him. There's no reason not to, there's just excuses. End of story.

Someone pass the Maalox.

Indeed. The Bills finish 6-11 after their final game on December 32nd this Sunday.

I think some people forget just how good Bruce Smith was. He's the all-time leader in sacks while playing in a 3-4 defense. That is just unbelievable. One of the greatest players in football history and the best Bill ever in my opinion. This Pierre-Paul fellow has quite a way to go.

I don't think you can read too much into what he was saying. He just speaks in public so infrequently that we hang on his every word when he rarely does. Realistically, it seems he was just making an off-the-cuff blanket statement. I doubt he's much involved in personnel decisions anymore.

actually we do..and its in seattle he'll probably be suspended by then anyway, right? right???

I do need to remind myself from time to time how the order works, but one thing I do remember is that whenever I see this chart, I can skip reading points 2-5.

actually, 8 of their 11 wins are outside their division in any case, the point isn't whether they'd get beat down in the first round or not (and i don't think they will, regardless)...its comparing them to the bills and if the nfc west is as bad as you claim (and it has been in recent years), it can be argued that the niners were actually worse than the bills over the past few seasons

crabtree isn't anything special for where he was picked, and i'd rather have fred jackson than frank gore they are winning because of incredible talent on their front seven, but more importantly, a coach who knows how to harness it i like gailey, and still believe he's a good offensive coach, but they need to bring in someone with more fire, especially on the defensive side granted, talent is the most important thing on a team, but passion is right up there too...its something the bills have been lacking for a while now

hahaha...nicely played OP, you are quickly becoming one of the better posters on here...kudos

For anyone who thinks Spiller is anywhere even close to Jackson, I believe you should either be directed towards the nearest doctor, or congratulated on joining our community of Bills fans after watching your first ever game yesterday. There really is no in between.

He faintly whined to the ref for a push off even though Marshall never touched him. Loser. He had no chance on that play though. Having said that, he is terrible. From what I've seen, since McGee went down, Justin Rogers has been the only corner doing anything out there. Also, did anyone notice Florence's coverage on one of the first Miami punts? He pretty much just moved to one side and gave the rusher a clear line to the returner. And forgetting his horrible play, he seems to chirp more than anyone else out there. And I've never seen anyone swat away the ball as much as he does when they should be going for the pick. Between him and McKelvin, we must have two of the dumbest players in the league.

haha..excellent!

you sure about that? this is the throw-a-dart-at-the-draft-board bills we're talking about
