LOL. It's not that simple. How many years have the Lions been drafting 1-5 year in, year out? How has that worked out for them?

How about the race to finish 8-8? Who the hell cares about the number one pick

haha..my favs were the denver and detroit logos.

No big deal to me. I could very well be wrong, but I don't see a redshirt sophomore who goes up against porous defenses pretty much week in week out as the bills saviour anytime soon. Especially in the division we're in.

Because this is Two Jets Drive, where you're ridiculed as a "blind supporter" when rooting for arguably the best player (and a scrappy/underdog one at that) on your team this season. Fitz is on pace for having 26-28tds this season after missing two games but somehow Luck, because of all those nfl-caliber defenses he goes up against in the Pac-10, is already eons better than Fitz.

Ya I'd love wade back leading our D, but there's no chance that happens. It's hard to see what we have in Edwards with this lack of talent...

wade philips!!!

Obviously, I wanted the big names over Fewell, but at the time when I found out we were going with Gailey, I would've preferred to stay with Fewell. At this point, I'm happy w/gailey despite our winless record. weird.

Unless the coaching staff is absolutely crazy over Luck, I would try and trade down if we're at 1 and get additional picks. SO many needs...

great post.

I saw Quinn play in about 3 games..against BC, GT, and i forget who else..he was pretty impressive, i'll admit..has GREAT size..but to take Quinn, after really only 1 productive season in college, and now an entire season out, in the top 10 would be an absolute reach. I'd gladly take a flyer on him if he's there with our first pick in the 2nd round. There are several pretty good DL coming out this year, and Quinn could very well be there at 33-38. von miller is a BEAST!!..but there's very little chance he's there in the 2nd round. He may not make it past 15 at this rate.

One would think that Luck was the second coming of peyton manning. Though I think he may be the best QB in this draft, that doesn't necessarily mean he's anywhere near ready for the NFL. What powerhouse team has Luck beaten? He plays in the defenseless Pac-10 where any QB can put up 350yds against the Sacramento State, Washington, and UCLA's of the world.

we've had several clear dropped int's this season (whitner and scott come to mind)..sometimes int's are partialy luck (being at the right place at the right time in a tipped ball for example)..but ya, we need to step it up all around on D..Kyle Williams is hands-down our only bright spot on D.

lmao..it's the same garbage on this site every day. are there actually bills fans on this board? Geeze. When it comes to bills QB's, the fans on this board are nauseating. Why don't we post 40 threads as to why Fitz has more rushing yards in the season than spiller? Why don't we post another 40 threads on why Fred Jackson fumbled the ball yesterday, which by the way, also led to a TD for the bears. Post about that.

lol, i don't know where you got your numbers from...are you talking about strictly pass-defenses in the league? If you are, I think the Bills rank 6th in the league on pass defense...not a great indicator of our overall defense would you say? Least points allowed per game in the league: New York Jets ranked #2 Bears ranked #3 Packers ranked #5 Ravens ranked #6 Chiefs ranked #7 Dolphins at #18 Pats #24 Jags#30 It's pointless to argue man..they even go out of their way to skew stats that are meaningless just to prove their ridiculous points..

I don't get all this "Franchise QB" talk. How good do you think Ben Roth would look on this team? How about Mark Sanchez? Lets put Jay Cutler behind center and see how great he looks with this offense. Fitz isn't a franchise QB b/c sometimes the ball sails high on him. LOL. 136 for 227, 1499yds, 13td & 7int in 6 games...tom brady in 8 games: 166 of 261, 1826, 14td, 4int...pretty similar numbers with two fewer games. What would you be saying if a rookie or second year QB was putting up Fitz's numbers? You'd probably be singing his praises...but b/c Fitz wasn't drafted 1 overall, he's not a franchise QB, regardless of his great performance on a horrible team. ya, his ball sails high at times, just like the other 31 QB's in this league.

ya, i agree with you re: chan. We should've run the ball against KC with time dwindling down in the 4th quarter..we passed. Today, when we were up 19-14, we should've focused on grinding down the clock with our running game. In chan's defense today though, we weren't running the ball successfully at all..but you have to keep on trying at that point.

if you say so, ok. About 90% of the players Fitz plays with on this team aren't going to take anyone to the promised land..but lets single out Fitz, when he's hands-down the ENTIRE OFFENSE on this team.

When you play against the Ravens and the Chiefs on the road, and go to OT, I'd hardly call it "choking," especially when you're playing on the Bills. Nobody expected the bills to be within 10-15 points in those games. I'll admit that some of Fitz's mistakes have been costly at times, but have they been any more costly than Lindell missing a FG to win the game? Or Fred Jackson today fumbling the ball, which led to a TD? I'm not going to run them off the team. Things will turn around man...this entire team has a culture of losing..sometimes it just takes a while to overcome it.

EXACTLY. No rookie is going to come in here and put up this kind of production for 2-3 years...by then they'll be what, 24/25? Fitz is 27 now..big woop.

I really have to disagree dude. Statistically, Fitz is in the top 10 in every QB category, WITH 2 LESS GAMES. And what exactly is he working with on offense? How many players on our offense would start on an elite team? He's giving us great production with below average talent.

speaking of the line, at some point today i actually found myself thinking, wow, Fitz hasn't even been sacked in this game yet against the Bears defense...maybe our O-line is starting to improve...they definitely are improving somewhat, but a lot of the credit is due to Fitz knowing what he's doing out there and releasing the ball quickly. This team doesn't have as many negative plays under fitz-he makes quick decisions and gets the ball out of tehre.

To me it's simple: the bills are a horrible team pretty much all-around. This team just isn't good enough to afford to turn the ball over at ALL. Every QB in this league throws INT's and has 1-2 bad throws a game...look at how many bone-headed throws Eli Manning has made in his career..the difference is that QB's on elite teams are picked up by the rest of their team...special teams makes a play...defense makes a big sack/turnover or holds the offense to a FG instead of a TD after the pick. Fitz has near 50 attempts and has 1 turnover and he gets blamed for the loss..well ya, it's definitely partly his fault that we lost, but we would've never been in the game most likely without his stellar play 99% of the other game. At some point, we need other elemnts of our team to help us win a game..and we're not good enough for that yet. So unfortunately for Fitz, he gets the brunt of the criticism b/c for the average fan (not saying you are), it's simply teh easiest recourse to just blame the QB for everything.

Absolutely agree...do you think the O-line has miraculously become this good overnight? Fitz knows where he wants to go with the ball and gets it out of there quick. This offense was arguably the worst in the league before Fitz took over, and now we move the ball at will at times against the best defenses in teh league. It's hard to dismiss the turnaround.
