May Day 10

Not many people are taking this possibility into account. How would this shake down 10 years from now?

It is true that it is carefully planned, as all his assets are. Its not a "oops he died, lets look up the rulebook now" thing.

I dont want them drafting a QB just to draft a QB either.

I actually think that 3-13 is very optimistic. Look at last week. We are banking on the team going 3-9 for the rest of the season? I think they may win 1 or 2. Maybe 0

I agree. There seems to be a great deal of vindication lately that there has been ENORMOUS failure throughout this teams talent evaluation throughout Modrak's involvement. I am terrified that this guy is still here to continue his comical failure

Well I do want a QB, but he may not necessarily be there this year. IMO, the Bills have 2-3 drafts (at least) where they will compete for the top overall pick. Say they get the second pick, Luck doesnt enter, Mallett goes 1st overall, and the Bills arent that high on Locker. However, the class of 2012 and 2013 look promising... You go for the trenches. I like the DE from Iowa Clayborn. Monster who will almost single-handedly make our defense credible.

This lack of logic really confuses me. They have no running game due to no runnERS. Lynch has looked pretty strong with the ball this season (and in the past). Worth a 3rd. Thats make or break for a contender like them. Unless they have another RB lined up somewhere, somehow.

Best of luck to Beast Mode. I like the way he plays. He has some growing up to do, but I dont think he is a criminal or anything like that. I think he will have a fine career and good for him that he goes to a real team.

dont forget Russ Brandon or let him off the hook

I didnt know Matt Stafford posts here

I like to tell myself that Maybin was someone else's baby. You should tell yourself that too for sanity's sake

1st overall and there is a QB at the head of the class..... absolutely, no brainer. But I dont want them drafting a QB they arent sold on for the sake of drafting a QB. Or what if some of these guys dont come out for the draft?

Im enjoying watching all the shiny new toys on Saturdays.... I really like the DE out of Iowa: Clayborn. If they dont feel like they have a franchise QB, I think he is the pick

I really believe the Bills have the inside track at this for sure. Cards have an easy division, Browns, Raiders, Tampa Bay, Carolina, and San Fran have been a lot more competitive. I think we will know by the bye week If they end up in the top 4 which is highly likely, its a win. If there isnt a homerun QB on the board, they could trade down and I wouldnt hate it if they drafted Clayborn out of Iowa. He punched a cab driver so he'll fit right in here. The guy is a monster on the field though.

Im in a holding pattern. Still go to a few games to hang out with friends... but I dont have anything invested emotionally at this point. Im giving Nix and company a chance to rebuild for a few years, thats cool. I can deal with a bunch of losses, and the games arent ruling my Sundays (fall adult baseball). I still call myself a fan. Not a huge NFL fan though, I have recently caught on that NCAA is 100x better. So I am waiting to see what happens "post Ralph". its either the Bills will again be relevant, or gone. If they are gone, than the NFL is gone with me. btw I think the NFL loses some of its heritage with the Bills leaving.

I understand it, and its to be expected. Its never easy in real time to watch your team lose game in and game out. Especially in the manner they did today, the Green bay game, and Miami for the most part. I am totally fine with this. There is going to be such a high turnover of players over the next 20 or so months that this doesnt matter and its already ancient history. I did expect it to be this bad. At the beginning I expected 1-3 wins. I think its necessary to hit bottom and cleanse the roster, and I am giving Nix/Gailey the benefit of the doubt for about 20 more games. I have faith in them, I have no choice. This is likely the last regime under Uncle Ralph so Im hoping for the best.... there is no choice.

hewas just a warm LB body to get through transition anyway. He isnt in future plans and he is worthless now to this team anyway

"feel good story of the year?" horse crap. I think its really hilarious that the Eagles organization gave him their award for "courage" last year. Courage for what? I believe he should have a chance to play in the NFL. However I will never root for him. I would be happier if his career ended prematurely and he ended up burning through all his money. The guy needs to do something really profound and selfless in order for me to give him a chance. I havent seen him do anything but go through the motions to get that NFL salary flowing in.

Im very cool with the current stadium

He has got a lot of time. He inherited a pretty terrible mess here. Its going to take a lot. They are at bare bones mode for the most part. Evaluating and slowly putting the athletes they need at each position to fit their system. I would say with or without Nix in there, about 10%-20% of the team will still be on the roster for the 2012 season. Give the man a few years though

Russ Brandon. slime

Trade him to Boise State for that dog that retrieves the tee after kickoffs.

I like Kelso's analysis. Its great. If you want to hear a real idiot, check out Arizona's color guy. He sounds like Jesse Ventura with the vocabulary of a 10 year old. Im not to imppressed with John Murphy's pbp. I like his voice and inflection. However, he doesnt do well with painting the play like a pro like Van Miller did. He doesnt really say what down it is, where the ball is, etc. He needs to paint the picture of the play and make it sound moore important. When a player catches a ball or breaks a run, he needs to do a better job announcing where the ball is. A 4 yard pass and a 14 yard pass sound the exact same every time until the play is over.

I agree, but it seems to have gone on for too long, and seems to be beyond just blowing smoke. He also isnt saying he will "see what he can do". Although vague, everything he says has a sense of finality.

why would two (or more) wildly successful businessmen need Jim Kelly to broker the deal? Unless they needed to know how to run the hurry up offense or shotgun a beer? Half kidding. I really like Jimbo, and I am holding out hope he is going to bring balance to the force
