Not that anyone needs to be reminded but in the LAST FOUR YEARS, we have used two #1's, a #2, two #3's and a #4 on wide-outs. That's SIX high draft picks in four years. What do we have to show for it? One guy's already gone. One guy simply cannot stay on the field. One guy has totally disappeared. And the "star" of the bunch always seems to be nicked up or out. What a freaking debacle.

How about the chop block call (I believe on the Texans). The block was clearly, clearly above the waist. The flag comes in from around 20 yards away. Complete replay of the call on Incognito.

When Peyton Manning was a free agent, I thought San Francisco was absolutely the perfect fit for him - great defense, strong running game, some decent weapons, let Alex Smith go in FA and let Kapernick sit for a couple of years behind Peyton. I am guessing that Peyton would have won one or two Super Bowls and maybe all the talk about Brady being GOAT wouldn't be as loud. But, of course, I guess that there would have been no way that Peyton and Harbaugh co-exist so it was not to be, cherie.

I failed to invent a time machine to travel back in time and kill Brady's great-great grandmother in her sleep.

No Coke. Pepsi.

That's like being the second most famous muscian in the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Is this a poll on the worst draft class of all-time? I'll stick with 2000. Erik Flowers, Tavares Tillman, Corey Moore. Lief Larson instead of Brady on a quarterback needy team is just icing on the cake. Damn you John Butler!

Is James Hardy available? He's tall.

Is it too early to declare a winner in regard to the Lynch trade?

How many posters to this board discount Foles and Sanchez because "Chip Kelly runs a quarterback friendly offense". Hey, here's a thought. Why don't we incorporate a "QB friendly offense" that will let us win without a Brady or Manning at QB?

Is there any - I mean ANY - indication that the Rams are going to make him available via trade or that they will release him? If not, this is all just blowing smoke.

Anyone know if this game is on YouTube or any other streaming source. Twenty three years later, I'd still love to watch this game!!!

The reason NOT to go after McCown is that you can't sign every reject QB out there. I'm sure we'll bring in a veteran FA QB. I hope it's Sanchez or Matt Moore (ugh, I know, I know). I think we may also take a flyer on a developmental QB early in the draft.

He's being dumped because he absolutely stunk it up last year. Look at his stats. They were God-awful.

How did you watch it? I missed that game and have always wanted to see it.

Really funny title to the thread. I live in St. Petersburg FL and I can assure you, Mike Glennon created no buzz whatsoever when he was actually playing football for the Bucs.

Sorry to hear the news. This is more about how the game has evolved rather than any ineptitude on the Bills' part but you've just used the #1 overall pick on maybe the greatest running back to ever come out of college football. You have the first pick in the second round (back then, only 26 teams so it's the equivalent of another first round pick today). What do you do? Pick another running back of course! By the way, for all you 20/20 hindsight folks, Ted (the "Mad Stork") Hendricks was selected by the Colts a couple of picks later.

My guess is that our most pressing needs (including TE) will be addressed in free agency. We'll have the luxury of picking a RB and developmental QB early in the draft.

Ja'Wuan James, Justin Pugh, Shea McClellin, Sean Weatherspoon and Prince Akmukarma. What do they all have in common?

There have been persistent rumors on this board that Sam Bradford, Eli Manning, Jay Cutler, RGIII and Colin Kaepernick (am I missing anyone?) may be available this offseason for various reasons. I don't see it. Why would any team give up a viable veteran (although not perfect) QB without an obvious replacement in the wings? I can kind of see Bradford because of the cap hit but even there why would St. Louis do that without an obvious candidate to take his place? This is a serious question.

Uh, the Falcons gave up that and more for Julio Jones. It didn't make them Super Bowl champions and it didn't really help the Browns all that much. It's really an equivalent trade to the Watkins deal. The Falcons got a really good receiver and the Browns frittered away the draft picks they got out of the deal.

I have absolutely no idea if Incognito can play or not at this point in his career. Absolutely none. That being said, I love this move. It shows (1) ownership is committed to winning footbnall games; and (2) the front office recognizes an obvious weakness and is addressing it early. On top of that, about 75% of this board espouses the notion that you shouldn't pay big money to a guard (we're talking to you, Andy Levitre). So we go out an get what is hopefully a capable veteran guard who fits the style of play we hope to employ in 2015 and we do it on the cheap. How can anyone complain about that? I firmly believe that we will be aggressive in free agency and fill obvious needs (OL, TE. veteran QB). That will give us the luxury of picking up a RB and developmental QB early in the draft. I think it's going to be a very, very exciting off-season.

Absolutely disagree. As much as I hated those Cowboy teams, they were simply superior to the Bills in those years. Better defensive talent, better offensive line, etc. If Kelly and Aikman were swapped out for those two games, I don't think it makes a bit of difference in the final score (by the way, Kelly was very, very good through about three quarters of Super Bowl XXVIII - still didn't make any difference.

Greatest coach-QB combo? I'm ready to concede that to Belichick - Brady, although Paul Brown - Otto Graham, Vince Lombardi - Bart Starr and Bill Walsh - Joe Montana have to come into the conversation, especially Brown and Graham. Greatest coach? Again, moral shortgivings aside, I'm ready to give that to Belichick over Brown, Lombardi, Shula, et al. What he has done as DC for the Giants, DC for the Jets and HC for the Patriots is really remarkable. One guy who doesn't get enough credit is Joe Gibbs. Winning three Super Bowls with three different (mostly pedestrian) QB's is an incredible feat. Brady as GOAT? I'm not convinced. He's at the table for sure. Great decision maker, very accurate, very clutch, great pocket presence - but, every time he is pressured like every other single QB in the league is presssured, he doesn't look all that special. You can talk about lack of HOF skill players during his career but the one thing he has had during his entire career is phenominal OL play. He is never, ever hit. Sometimes it seems like he has literally all day to make a throw. I think that there are QB's who could have duplicated what he has done at NE. Peyton Manning for sure wins same number of rings or more if he started with Belichick in 2000. I don't know if Brady wins the SB if he is on the GB team that Rogers won a SB with a few years back. That team had a lousy OL and Rogers still won a SB with it. Bottom line I think it's silly to just look at SB wins and say someone is GOAT. My test is flip QB's and ask yourself if outcome would have been different. Look at the Bills' four Super Bowls. If NFC teams had Kelly and we had Hoestedler, Rypien and AIkman would outcome have been any different? Nope, we would have been hammered four times in a row, probably by even bigger margins.

You know what one game makes me optimistic about the hire? Can't remember the year (last fifteen all start to run together) but Bills were something like 4-2 with Fitzpatrick at QB with Jets coming into the Ralph. The Jets just absolutely, physically manhandled us. That game ended that particular season. Hope to see that on a regular basis for the good guys in 2015. If you remember that game, someone idiot in the front office had us wearing all white at home. Lame.
