Nah, if you've seen one tramp stamp, you've seen them all. In all seriousness, what makes you an ex-jamhead? I know you mentioned the political agenda of the band but was there a specific event that started the downfall? Just curious Boomer, you obviously were a diehard at one point. I don't know much about PJ other than the radio hits.

You had him on the run, until you referenced the Pearl Jam tramp stamp.

1. She did you favor. 2. Like others have suggested, take a vacation. 3. Come home and work your ass off. Whether it's school, job, or personal health. IMO, life improvements help getting over something.

I like the Brown pick alot myself. I don't know if he will be great but I think he has the potential to be. I'm assuming he is a fairly raw product but according to most sources I've seen, has all the tools. I also like what little I've seen of his personality. Levi seems relaxed in interviews and confident. Let's hope it translates! Nix and Gailey have been questioned numerous times about not selecting a QB early. They both usually respond with an answer that involves the three QBs on the roster from last year and I have no real problem with that. I'm glad they didn't take a QB early, I was in the camp that felt this wasn't a good year for an early QB (at least after Bradford). With all that being said, I'd like to see them give a little more support to the QB they did pick.

I agree with some of your points but hindsight is 20/20. The Bills are guilty of mistakes and misfortune, we all get it. The negative posts aren't what annoy people so much. It's the constant rehashing of mistakes made by prior FOs and mindless assumptions that this team will never do anything right. The mark of an intelligent critic is someone who has opinions on both sides of the fence. It's hard to take anyone's opinion serious if they are all one way or the other. If I had to choose, I'd take the rose colored glasses fan. At least this brand of fan is bringing up fresh points and new thoughts. The eternal negative fan is usually boring and painfully repetitive. It's bad enough that the Bills haven't been a winner in quite some time but having to listen to all of the know it all whiners, makes the experience twice as bad. Actually, this type of person is a pain in the ass in all aspects of life. They look for any platform to complain, belittle, prop self up, and remove hope.

I played that game too but with a basketball.

Aaron Maybin is definately going to be on the roster this upcoming season. The coaching staff is most likely using this time too evaluate the new guys. This is also the best chance Batten and Coleman will get to make their case.

At about 3:10 in this video Ryan Fitzpatrick makes an unbelievable block. I never saw it during the game or completely forgot about it. Fitzy looks like he was shot out of a freaking cannon! He might only have moderate skills but that guy is gamer. BLOCK OF THE YEAR

You should get a new screen name and enjoy the freedom anonymity.

Tim Graham gets alot of praise here and he deserves it. I think most of us really enjoyed his insight and willingness to answer questions as best he could. With that being said, I don't think Leonidas did anything wrong. This is a message board and strong opinions should be welcomed. Leonidas made some relevant points and to my knowledge never directly disrespected Tim. It's kind of funny to see the reaction from some of the posters here, considering much worse occurs on a regular basis. IMO, Tim could have just as easily said he wasn't interested in debating about ESPN and left it at that. Like I said before, the overwhelmingly majority of us have shown our appreciation repeatedly. If he wasn't enjoying his time here anymore, that's cool. His contributions have already been above and beyond. I can't blame Leonidas for what happened though.

You are 100 percent correct with this point Alpha. IMO, people are like cattle and their thought process follows suit. Meredith represents a relatively unfamiliar player, who has potential and is on a path of ascension. At least people really want to believe that. Many fans want to get on the bandwagon and say I had a feeling about that guy. Brian Brohm represents a very well-known player, who despite his potential has not lived up to the hype yet. It's the hype that makes fans want to get on the bandwagon and say I had a feeling that guy stunk. It's all about expectations and people's expectations can be based on any number of things. Alot of the time expectations are based on pure crap. Steve Johnson gets praised routinely on TSW and James Hardy gets shredded. What is the major difference between the two so far? Expectations Brian Brohm is an easy target for the crowds and Jamon Meredith makes for a feel good story. What they have done in the NFL up to this point is comparable.

This isn't a restaurant complaint but I have to vent anyway. I work for myself and the majority of my work is done in residential homes. Most days when lunch time hits, I like to get away from the job for a break. If I'm by myself, I usually find a secluded parking lot and eat my lunch, read a book, make a couple phone calls, and do whatever. I generally pick a large parking lot like a mall or movie theatre and park in the most remote area. Sometimes I'm the only vehicle in the parking lot, especially if it's a closed business lot. My complaint is the jackass that needs to park right next to me and look at me while he talks on the phone. An entire empty parking lot, as far as the eye can see, and this jerk has to pick that spot. I know it sounds stupid but it drives me crazy. That 30-45 minute window is my only window of relaxation and I usually don't have a chance to step away while working. I despise that sweaty pig that sits there staring at me eat my lunch, in an empty parking lot. I'd say he finds me about 60 percent of the time. 500 hundred spots available and thats the one dip **** always wants.

You are whining about our TEs ability to stay healthy, and your solution would have been Rob Gronkowski? The kid was one of the biggest injury concerns of the whole draft. The Patriots took Aaron Hernandez four picks later because of the gamble Gronkowski represents. Awesome logic Phan. Besides the main theme of this train wreck, is that the Bills missed "a golden chance to sell tickets". Yeah, because nothing sells tickets like a TE with back problems and little chance of cracking the starting lineup in his first year.

Bad QBs hold the ball and take a sack. Throwing the ball away, is the correct answer that escapes you and Trent.

Yeah, I just don't think that legalizing marijuana would have any positive effect on crime. I actually believe it could have a negative effect on the severity of crimes committed. There is alot of drug dealers who would all of sudden have their main source of income completely ripped from them. Drug dealers need to make money to, and let's face it a large percentage of them aren't going to start turning in applications. Somebody who has accepted a life of crime isn't going to give it up because pot becomes legal. Smoking weed itself is a stupid crime and the severity of the punishments are laughable. The government stands to make alot of money on legalization and I think the majority of citizens would support it. Including me and I don't smoke.

I'm in favor of making marijuana lega,l but there is plenty of other stuff to smuggle. If these guys aren't smuggling marijuana they would be transporting something else. It's not like they would drop the whole criminal thing, and become honest marijuana farmers.

If the Bills were motivated by ticket sales, they would have drafted a QB. This argument especially lost steam when the Bills passed on Jimmy Clausen twice.

1. Spiller out of the backfield or in the slot can punish a defense and hurt an aggressive blitz. His talents need to be accounted for and indirectly that threat will hurt the opponents ability to attack. 2. In the past you have said that no QB could perform behind this o-line, which was kind of foolish but many of your points tend to be exaggerations. Now, your new analysis is that any success had in the running game is a tribute to Jackson and not the o-line? Recap: QB gets sacked = o-line is so bad, no QB could produce RB gains yards = o-line is so bad, but RB's supreme effort overcame it Gotta watch those agenda based observations, Rabbit. 3. The NFL is more of passing league than ever before but there are still many ways to win this league. Pass protection is obviously a major question mark going into this season but I'm optimistic about the zone-blocking scheme. The new approach might fit our players better and let's face it, this is going to be running team. Until a competent NFL QB (maybe Brohm or Brown?) is added to the roster we should be a running team.

Nice post Kenny. It's all about getting the most out of your talent and putting them in a position to be successful.

my usual nightcap as well!

I like a little green Jack now and again. Someimes I mix it up and sometimes I have it straight.

If you sleep with pigs you're going to have their stink. I'm not a Tiger fan but I'd like to see him get his game right. Tiger Woods makes golf better and I hope he starts getting off the tee like Tiger Woods. I will go back to rooting for my favorite underdogs of course but the real Tiger makes it more fun.

Drew Brees had 27 TDs and 7 interceptions in his third year starting. Trent Edwards has a total of 24 TDs and 25 interceptions combined over his three years of being a starter. It's not happening.

I guess it's all on your definition of production. Aaron Rodgers played behind a very poor line last year and managed to have a fantastic season. The Bills line wasn't much worse than that, if at all. You aren't going to convince me that Aaron Rodgers and Phillip Rivers wouldn't have gotten the ball to TO, Evans, Reed, and Nelson. Despite the o-line problems, the opportunity to make plays were there every Sunday.

Good to see this myth is still alive and well. Yes, the o-line was terrible at times but don't underestimate the ability of a great QB. It often seems like the best QBs have all day to throw but if you watch closely it's often the QBs ability to go through his reads, sidestep pressure, anticipate receivers routes, and execute a well timed throw. What do the best QBs do when an o-line is getting whipped? Throw the ball away! No QB would have broken records behind our o-line but many would have been productive.
