If we draft Floyd and he ends up being a #1 and Stevie a #2 I would be one happy camper. That would mean we'd have two pretty darn good recievers.

This just in...the lions drafted like crap for a decade. There, just saved you 30 minutes typing all that crap. Who cares? See also the Browns, the Raiders, the Jags, the Dolphins, the Vikings, and probably 5 other teams (including the Bills pre Buddy).

Let's not get crazy quite yet. The fact is we made Mario the highest paid player in the league on D and we gave Mark one hell of a contract. Once we start getting players to come here below their value, then you can say that it's a place that players want to come. Otherwise, I kind of think that the money gets them interested, then they realize it's no where near as bad a place as they thought, and then they come. I would say that right now we're a place that players don't mind coming to anymore (which is still more than can be said of the last 10 years or so).

The President makes $400k/year for the rest of his life. Sorry, didn't see the post above mine. However, it should be noted that they can't make extra money from "special interest" or "lobbyist", that would basically amount to bribery. All those people can do is contribute to their campaign funds (which, in reality, isn't that much different).

Wouldn't it be a little more prudent to wait until after the draft to put season record predictions out there?

A college student was drinking underage? I'm schocked.

I'm still on the "The Bill Collectors" from another thread. We've been given up sacks on credit to the AFCE the last 5/10 years, time to pay up the debt, with interest.

How about tackle totals of 132, 116, 147, 133, 142, 157, 146, 128, 133, 142, 136, and 166 in the last 12 years?

How is this funny, insightful, creative, or even worthy of a read? I read the first two, then blah blah blah, and that's it. I have no time or appreciation for such crap. And to think, I'd get a slap on the wrist for calling a troll like this an idiot. Yeah, I know it's scarcasim, but I'm tired of this B.S. and just want some good Bills talk when I come to this site, not this crap. Why do people give this guy the satisfaction of "thumbs up" or "nice post" or "good job OP"? People like this just piss me off. Go troll somewhere else. Yeah, scarcasim, wahoo, good for you, you're so thoughtful and creative....blah, blah, blah. But I'll be banned for telling this guy to fuk off and that he's an idiot troll.

I haven't watched too much today, but watched all day yesterday and I didn't see that at all. Everyone that I saw said that it was a great move for the Bills and provided us with legitimacy in the league.

Exactly.

Too bad the NFL won't allow it, I think the single digit jersey numbers for DL and LB in college FB are pretty sweet.

I'm on board with The Bill Collectors. Time for the QBs to pay up that debt.

I lived in Pittsburgh and unless something drastic has happened in the last 3 years since I moved (and I don't think it did), that place is kind of a dump. Now, the downtown area is pretty nice, but as soon as you're in the rest of the city it's pretty crappy. Lot's of abandoned industry, the waterfront outside of downtown is non-existent. Also, to live anywhere decent (besides downtown), you have to drive about 30 mins outside the city and with all those f'n hills and bridges the traffic sucks. PNC Park is gorgeous though! And their hockey and football teams are ones to envy.

I have a feeling that Mario wouldn't come here even if we paid him $30M, forget about what we're actually going to offer him.

Yes!

Yeah, lets worry about paying a 25 year old two time 1,000 yard receiver who's played on crap teams for both of those years as the only viable receiving threat. Oh, and he is an inhouse developed 7th round draft pick that has stated that he wants to stay in Buffalo. It's quite simple, good franchises don't let players like this go. I don't really care about a couple celebration penalties or 2 dropped passes (only one of which would have clearly been a touchdown). OR, we can go out and overpay a crappy FA who only comes here because no one else wants him and doesn't really want to be a Bill and hasn't really produced before or is at the tail end of their career. Anyone who really thinks we are going to get someone on the same level as Mario Williams to come here is out of their mind (when all we do is let players like Stevie leave all the time). Get it done.

Shore up is correct.

You obviously didn't watch the AFC Championship game, huh?

Only b/c defensive players weren't used to a WR knocking them off their feet away from the play. What they call dirty I call hard nosed football. Dude could block, plain and simple. I think he's too old now but a lot of WRs could learn a ton from this guy on how to play football beyond making catches. He'd be a great WR coach some day.

Don't you know that Sheppard has "A" potential in Madden?

Let's not get crazy. Playoffs next year, SB in two!

Luck and RGIII will certainly be gone. Tann, who knows, but I don't think he's better than Fitzy. Fitz proved early in the season that he's quality. Rumors of broken ribs out there, tons of injuries at WR, OL, and especially on D after that strong start. I'd rather shore up the depth on the D front 7 and see what we really have before giving up on a guy that beat the Pats, Raiders, Bengals, Chiefs, and should have beat the SB champs NYG.

You have to wake up man. I went to a private university with a lot of well off kids and I can honestly say that cocaine was used by more students than pot (although not as frequent). Still very prevalent.

Can't speak for where they are now or how they are now, but I grew up down the street from them and they were all great kids. I'm not sure if they live in that house anymore or not but they did until at least the mid 2000s. The oldest son, Gordy, was our paperboy for years and the younger brothers would always help out. I won't root for the Pats, but I'll root for him.
