  1. Mike Goff.

     

    While the Chargers would probably prefer to keep Goff, they've been effective in drafting and developing linemen and might look for Goff’s replacement at a better price. Goff has been a leader who simply goes about his business and players LT have benefited from his level of play. Goff has played for a quality line for some time and he’s a big part of the equation when it comes to success. He's 32, has stayed healthy his entire career, and Buffalo's O-line average age is 26. He could provide some valuable leadership, something Jason Peters seems to lack at the moment, and something we desperately need.

  2. We tried to be "Pittsburgh North" a few years ago, hiring Donahoe, who in turned hired some former Pittsburgh coaches and personnel men (e.g., Modrak, Mularkey, Clements, LeBeau). Of course, it didn't work.

     

    Pittsburgh has always focused on having great lines, great LB's, and a great running game. That's how you're consistently successful. Then with a franchise QB, that's how you win Super Bowls.

     

    Pittsburgh probably let Donahoe go for a reason...

     

    I don't think Mularkey was the real problem in Buffalo, I think it was all Donahoe. I think he went from an ESPN chat room to GM and got on a huge power trip. Didn't work well with his coaches.

  3. I'm always in favor of taking care of needs before the draft. I think it is especially good to get veteran NFL lineman who played well for a good offense. I would be very happy with Goff. And then I would draft 2 pass rushers (or a TE if a special was sitting there in the 2nd).

     

    Goff is a stand up character guy who could really help the Bills offensive line entirely. The Bills starting offensive line average age is 26 years old. Mike is 32.

  4. I meant McGee, who hits UFA after 09. I think they'll look to lock him up in advance of his final season. He's not Champ Bailey, but he's very good.

     

    I like Greer, but the Bills will have to choose between him and McGee. And I think they'll choose McGee first. With McKelvin and Corner there already, they've got depth at CB.

     

     

    I wonder what we could get for McGee.

  5. right...that kind of thing NEVER happens anymore...sometimes its hard to see all the trees when you are standing in the forest...

     

    You can't base fact on movies about a time period 50 years ago. I didn't hear of any beating of Ko Simpson. And I guess Rodney King wasn't really in LA when he was beaten right? Just like we never landed on the moon?

  6. Do you live in the South? If so, what state? Because Virginia isn't the south. Neither is North Carolina. Have you actually ever been to Mississippi or Alabama lately? If any home has a confederate flag flying in Mississippi or Alabama, trust me, they are just asking for lots of trouble. I'm from the south. I'm white and believe or not, my dad raised me to see everyone as equals. Growing up, I learned a lot about the South's Civil Rights era. As I've gotten older, opportunities have taken me all over the country. And the fact of the matter is, there's just as much if not more discrimination in all forms up North as in the South. Grow up, times have changed.

     

    Oh yeah, Ko Simpson was in a car speeding through a nightclub parking lot. Guess they should have just let him fishtail it out of there huh?

  7. Stupidity? I think that's harsh.

     

    People don't remember Matt Millen for his playing days and the Super Bowl rings he has, people remember him for the debacle he's responsible for in Detroit.

     

    People remember guys like Emmitt Smith and Jarome Bettis for their playing days and both have Super Bowl rings as well.

     

    There's a difference.

     

    For the record, I do agree with you. I trust his analysis and opinion as much as I do my dog's.

  8. That probably played a part in it but most football fans, the many millions of people watching the show, think of Millen as one of the worst GMs of all time. He turned the Lions into an absolute laughing stock.

     

    It's hard to take anything he says seriously.

     

    There's a lot of under the table things going on. I believe Donahoe was feeding Mortensen info when he was here. I'm sure Mort and the guys at ESPN didn't all the sudden lose contact with Donahoe when he left them to come to Buffalo. I'm sure it's the same with Millen. Doesn't matter what the fans think, how else did Millen stay a GM so long?
