  1. If they're wrong every single time then if they had decided to keep him that would've been wrong too, right? A tough spot to be in when every personnel move you make is wrong.
  2. Who would've thought that the cutting of a #3 WR would rock the Bills nation to it's core.
  3. James Hardy had that skill too.
  4. It's funny to listen to the announcers kiss the Bills asses like they do NE now.
  5. It surprises me how players like Nelson and Kelsay, with comparable ability at their respective positions, can elicit completely different reactions from this board. They are both average players. One is a pariah whose head is constantly being called for and the other is one that everyone is lamenting.
  6. I think it's a good mock but as you can see from the responses the pressure to waste a high pick on a QB in the worst QB draft class in recent memory will be very high. Given the Bills history of drafting failure I suspect that they will yield to the pressure and blow one of their picks. I just hope it's not the #1.
  7. Jets definitely aren't handling this well. I think that it's logical to try and trade Revis but why not sit down with him and discuss the issue instead of leaving him in the dark? Revis may not like it but he deserves to be told to his face that the Jets are going to trade him if they get a decent offer.
  8. This is apparently the law: http://www.new-york-...ey-1580412.html "Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree – NY PL 265.03(3) A person is guilty of Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree pursuant to New York Penal Law 265.03(3) when that person possesses a loaded firearm (pistol, revolver, handgun, etc.) outside his or her home or place of business without a permit regardless of what the intent was. If that was not clear enough, if you possess your duly licensed pistol from Maine, Texas or New Jersey in New York without a license in this state and it is loaded, you are going to be charged with this offense. What makes matters worse is that under the laws of New York, "loaded" does not mean a clip in the gun or a bullet in the cylinder. If the firearm is capable of being loaded and the bullets are in the case with the gun or even in your pocket, you can still potentially be charged with this offense. Unfortunately, ignorance of the law in New York is no defense. Whether you are properly checking the firearm at LaGuardia or JFK Airports in Queens or have it anywhere else in New York, possessing that firearm will land you in state prison without an assertive and compelling defense." Bold emphasis is mine.
  9. It's interesting because it appears that the gun was not discovered by security but that he voluntarily turned it over at the check-in counter. However the Queens County DA said that the charge would've been the same if security had discovered the gun. Really? If someone has a concealed carry permit (assuming he does), takes a gun into an airport and asks how to transport it at the check-in counter he is in the same category as someone who tries to sneak a loaded gun by security? That doesn't seem right. http://www.tampabay.com/sports/football/bucs/bucs-daquan-bowers-arrested-at-airport-on-gun-charge/1275692
  10. Stinkier than a bum's nut sack.
  11. I'm telling you ... CB.
  12. The one thing that gives me some doubt is that Johnson took over very week teams and bombed with them. Before he took over in 1968 the team won 3 games (he then won 1 in 1968) and they won 3 in 1970 (he then won 1). In fact from 1967 to 1972 the Bills had a combined record of 17-64-4 and never won more than 4 games in a season. 1972 brought Lou Saban to turn things around. Johnson basically had nothing to work with. Consider that Kay Stephenson took over a playoff caliber team from Chuck Knox that still had most of the players that made the playoffs in 1981 (10-6) and were just under .500 in the strike shortened 1982 season (4-5). He then proceeded do steer the franchise into another ice age by first going 8-8 in 1983 and then 2-14 in 1984 and 0-4 in 1985 before he was fired and Hank Bullough finished the job. He was the transitional figure between the Knox era and several years of darkness with him and Bullough before Levy was hired.
  13. That's one reason that their OL stinks.
  14. Who's the coach? I nominate Kay Stephenson.
  15. I thought Brooks was being groomed for that position? Rogers and McKelvin (if he stays) are really dime CBs at best. McGee is gone. If the Bills move Williams to safety then they need to draft another CB, and probably high. I think that in the big picture it might make more sense to leave Williams at CB for another season to see if he can improve and spend this season trying to improve the LBs.
  16. It's all guesswork of course, but I think this is probably right. Buddy felt that the team had to many needs not to take a player that he had rated higher just so they could get a QB. Besides the comment above, he has also since said that he thinks the Bills have filled most of their other major holes- which would lead one to think that he may "reach" for a QB in round 1 or trade picks to try and move up to get one. Marv didn't exactly get it done in the GM role. I'm not sure that his example is one to emulate. The example you site is just one of many gaffes.
  17. I wonder who the new TBD whipping boy will be once Kelsay leaves? Any thoughts? I guess Fitz is still there or whomever his replacement is. I predict that by the end of next season it will Eric Pears.
  18. Remember, it can always get worse. Always.
  19. Is this true? Now you can't even post a link? That's pretty bad. Maybe if you send these to the Giant, Colt or Raven GMs they'd agree to trade their QBs for Fitz. Maybe.
  20. You could make a good case that Eugene Marve was one of the most underrated Bills players ever. He clearly doesn't belong on this list.
  21. I don't think Chan had any idea whose turn it was. That was between CJ and Fred
  22. Spencer Johnson started several games at LOLB after Kelsay was hurt in 2011. Look up the box score for the Redskins game for example. They list him as DE but they have 3 DEs starting. He was Kelsay's replacement as the "hybrid" LOLB/DE. He actually played pretty well in that game but was woefully out of position for the rest of the year. Again, I'm not proposing that we put Johnson in at LB. I suggest we actually show a OLB at this position. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201110300buf.htm
  23. Can't agree with Jerry Crafts at guard. He was primarily a tackle backup IIRC and while he was abysmal at tackle he was not the worst guard in team history. Also, Kelsay doesn't belong at OLB on his list. If you're going to list him there then you'd better but Spencer Johnson or Alex Carrington at OLB ahead of him because both started games at that position and were worse than Kelsay.
