I suck for having to point out a first time posters factual inaccuracies. But my favorite moment is the comeback game. I am from Rochester and I got to watch it at my dad's friends house on the wayne county border because they were able to grab NBC from Syracuse. I was in 7th grade. At halftime I made a bet with my dad that if the bills won, he'd had to take me to schaellers (local burger joint) for dinner. At 13 I had full faith in the Bills to win the game. They won, my dad tried to get out of dinner on some probably really reasonable stance that my mom would be upset and I had brothers to consider. But I went to schaellers.

Bledsoe was not also on the Bills in 2001. And Fitzpatrick hit the deep pass to TO.

This guy is a troll. Which is a nice name for him. He's probably a jets fan from New Jersey.

I really don't think we can contribute the 2010 draft all to Nix. He was working with the previous administration's scouting of the previous season and the way they had the board set up. I think this upcoming draft will really demonstrate what he is doing. At least that is my hope. And, I have to say, with a full season to prepare and a real offseason I like what Nix has done in free agency between the players selected, signed and resigned. A couple years back I told my buddy I would not go to another Bills game until Jauron was fired after going to the Bills-Saints game in 09. The Bills made the Saints boring and still lost. Early in the 2011 season I told my buddy that I would go in on his seasons he had. Then after the season I told him I might go back on it if the Bills did not actually do a good faith effort to resign Stevie Johnson. They not only did that, but got Mario Williams. At the very least, Nix is bringing back my Bills hope, which had been shattered by Dick Jauron. I know they haven't won anything yet, but I can at least believe that they will be more entertaining. And really, after tailgaiting all morning, I think we all need that on game day.

Just two quick things about Buddy's first 2 years as GM. The first year he was hired only months before the draft, and even though he had been part of planning that draft, he was stuck with the information gathered before that. I think that would have impaired some of the drafting. Secondly, it is tough to give him a bad grade for last years free agency period as it was so truncated due to the lock out. He did get Barnett after he was released and did go after Tyson Clabo, even though I don't think Clabo ever was really going to sign with the Bills. So, in my mind, this is his first real offseason with a full time to prepare for the draft and go after free agents he wants in Buffalo.

Stevie is a 25 year old guy who made a bad decision after scoring a touchdown in a game. 1. This is does not define him as a person. 2. Any article I have read about him and his personal life show a lot more about him as a person. 3. No matter what, this was a really great thing he did by donating the tickets. 4. When you were 25, how many stupid things did you do in your life, especially at 25 and hope they don't define you? His is just caught on national tv. They were stupid, but there is so much more to look at a person to decide what type of person he is.

Dude is in college and has weed. Stupid to get caught but really, compared to our college careers, whether its you or friends, who cares? I did not smoke weed in college but had plenty of friends. They all get over it in the first couple of years. And they also have become fairly successful. In the end, who cares if you smoke weed in college? Hopefully the GM's will investigate to see if he has a more substantial substance abuse problem. If he does, drop him, if not, g for him.

Was this post written by an excited 14 year old girl? Where was the smiley faces?

Fitz has enough arm.

I think the comment by WVUfootball29 was meant to be sarcastic. At least I hope it was.

I loved during the Patriots game when Nelson made the catch and run along the left sideline and got his helmet ripped off, he came up super pumped about the play. The Bills were down 21 at that point, but I thought to myself "They haven't cashed it in at this point. They're going to make a game of this." First, I don't think Bills teams the previous 5 years would still have been fighting at that point, and they won. It's this sort of attitude which makes me want to watch and go to Bills game this year versus the Jauron era. (Not that I didn't at least watch every single game, but after the Saints loss in 09 I declared I was not going to another game until Jauron got fired because he made even supposedly entertaining games as boring as hell) By the way, does anyone know a link where I can watch the whole patriots game again? I forgot to DVR it and I'm pissed I cannot watch it again.

Better argument to go along with this is that high player salaries causes higher ticket prices. That is, like most producers, the NFL passes costs onto consumers. So higher labor prices will just force them to raise ticket prices. I.e. they have to play their local market. Which may hurt the Bills. The best thing for the Bills is the salary cap. So no matter who is right in this debate, whether owners or players and gets a percentage of revenue, the Bills need a salary cap.

Possibly the most intelligent post ever.

Agreed Bills fan89 (even though I'm not sure if your 89 refers to the season or shawn nelson) And for those who want to make the argument that Marty sucks in the playoffs, hasn't the last ten year made you wish for a team that just could get to the playoffs? Would you care if he turned the team around in 2 or 3 years and they than hired the coach to get them to the next level, because you know Marty would get them to the playoffs? When the Bills hired Jaroun, I was so against hiring Mary just because he had such a poor playoff record. Now I don't care. Get the Bills back to being respectable, than worry about super bowls.

If they just gave Peters some of his money two years ago, we'd have a left tackle, for most likely cheaper than we are going to draft, still have walker at right tackle and the interior mostly set. He's retired after making 4.5 mil over the last two years. He's content (and I'm not blaming him, given his injury history and outside pursuits) But really, the Bills should have resigned Peters for 8 mil a year when they had a chance, and the whole line would be still, with Butlers retirement, be in a lot better shape.

To switch to the 3-4, this is what the Bills have to do. The d line would be Schobel at one end with Stroud at the other. They have to get a big dude in the middle via free agency or the draft to play nose tackle. Williams would be a back up. Maybin would be moved to outside linebacker with Mitchell. Poz would stay inside, and the Bill would need another inside linebacker (preferably with speed, actually this is a necessary) The secondary could stay the same. The biggest variable is the nose tackle, obviously. But you plug in a good nose tackle and a fast ILB who hits, and this is not a bad defense.

Flutie was not that good in 99. The only reason the Bills made the playoffs was there defense. I believe they were the #1 defense in the NFL at the end of the year. I give Flutie all the credit for 98 but NFL defenses had him figured out in 99. From what I remember, the information at the time was that Phillips and the coaching staff were thinking about benching him midway through the season. And if anyone remembers that season, putting Johnson was not that unpopular of a call.

How much longer do you want to play the tampa two? I would only consider hiring him if he said he would switch primary defenses.

You obviously do not know what state decisis means. But anyway, your post possibly would have made a point if it tried to make a point that Bills fans have keep up the passionate base, so if the team was sold, the NFL would put a team back in Buffalo. However, you did not do that. Your post was all over and you may be drunk. Given that, I'm not sure why I am ever replying.

The longest winning streak against the Bills is the dolphins, 20 and 0 in the 70's.

Roy Williams is not that good. He cannot cover. Ask any cowboys fan. Plus he has a whole rule named against him. The Bills have a lot more problems than safety. For example, a left guard, possibly a center, a tight end, a d end,a d tackle and an outside linebacker before they worry about roy williams. Seriously, if you were going to have Ralph spend his money, would it be on a second cowboys reject?

Ralph also donated lots of money to help research how to immediately treat spinal cord injuries, which had an impact on Kevin Everett walking again, and hopefully every other NFL player who suffers a major neck injury while playing. It will also obviously have an impact on anyone suffering a neck injury if the emergency responders have the same equipment and training. To help stop or mitigate the most dangerous injury someone can suffer while playing football is a pretty good argument for getting into the fall of fame.

Where did you find that Cassel was a higher rated prospect out of HS? What I have read and could just find is Trent was higher rated out of HS and obviously played a lot more in college.
