  1. Because we have had such resounding success drafting tight ends over the years? No thanks, only 2 years of TG will not make me pine for those 4 extra years of watching Derek Fine, Schouman and Tim Euhus sit on the bench or run some stupid H-back scheme.

     

    True! Look at the deadwood we've brought in over the past few years at TE. And suddenly we are going to draft a "promising young TE" in the 2nd this year?

  2. This is easy. No new contract this year. If he plays better than last year--nice new contract. If not, he will have proven he is not worth what he seeks--trade him then. This guy has yet to play a full season at the position that he is "the best" at.

     

    What's he gonna do, hold out again? He hurts his value, which is certainly all he is interested in.

     

    Russ: "Final offer."

  3. The long bomb stuff is more legend than reality. And for a great athlete, he certainly wasn't much of a scrambler--he took a billion sacks.

     

    What does that leave him with that is unique?

     

    The biggest disservice done to this guy was making him a first round QB. He never gave the impression that he was a student of the game (a serious studier of film, etc.), he believed he had the near-magical powers that scouts, Bills FO and some suckers here told him he possessed. He seemed to learn nothing from his mistakes. He could not view himself as a backup and pouted whenever he was benched (totally uninvolved in games in which he wasn't playing last year). He never credibly took blame for his poor performances, often implying it wasn't his fault.

     

    Yep, a great teammate. We will miss him.

  4. What makes people think a nine-year old boy would be traumatized by swearing, screaming, etc. At 9, I would have LOVED that.

     

    I'm with Sage here, outside, with REAL fans, is the way to go, IMO. Unless you like to shelter and coddle your child, in which case I wouldn't take him (or her) to a Bills game.

    Nah, after the first hour it gets out of control--it sucks even without kids to have to listen to so many drunk a-holes. It's not fun. Stay away from endzones or upper deck, as others have said. Never a night game.

  5. Yet another unnecessary case of police brutality against an African American, and the 3rd Buffalo Bill to be railroaded in one year. Seems the police just love abusing NFL players for no reason. This did not have to happen, but as long as society enjoys singling these guys out the more the police will continue to abuse them.

     

    Yeah, really--they should focus on getting the necessary cases of brutality up a little more. They waste too much time on all this unnecessary brutality.

  6. The fact that the guy threw THREE interceptions in the 1st half alone indicates that he was not shy to throw the ball.

     

    Those were the last ints he had for the rest of the season, fellas.

     

     

    Byron Leftwich.

     

    hahahahahahahahaha

  7. This lawsuit is most likely an attempt to deter the Police Department from filing charges.

     

    Yeah, there you go---the threat of a lawsuit will make them drop the criminal charges.

     

    Why didn't ML's lawyer think of that, instead of copping a plea?

     

    This could open up a whole new world for defense lawyers--they will become civil litigators, or vice-versa! Overworked and underpaid Public Defender?? Not anymore! Now Celino and Barnes will be taking your case, Mr. Destitute--on a contingency fee!

  8. Amusingly, in light of this thread, someone just sent me a friend request claiming to have been a high school classmate of mine. This, despite that surname never appearing in any of the six yearbooks I pulled off the shelf to check, and the fact that the three coworkers (and classmates) I asked tonight had never heard of him, either.

     

    Nice try, "Sam." Better luck next time.

    Ah, yes---those six years of high school.....

  9. You should have stopped writing before this:

    Put simply, by drawing attention to players' crimes, he's making them MORE visible to everyone else.

     

     

    So by penalizing bad behavior, Goodell is hyping the bad behavior? Like, no one would have known about the NFL's player problems if Goodell hadn't gone and made such a big deal about them? WTF??? Do you really believe this?

     

     

    I want the commish to make an example out of ML?? haha--good one. And you've GOT to let go of Brandon Marshall (over and over and over) as some sort of precedent because the commish is CLEARLY not using precedent to hand down his punishment, for reasons I have already explained.

     

    You're a mess! ML did this to you dude. Why can't you see this?

  10. Lighten up dude. Dr. Noisewater was merely pointing out the hypocrisy of the media in that when a "pampered" athlete does something good, it is not considered newsworthy. :rolleyes:

     

    Going to the voluntary program in Buffalo is "doing something good"?

     

    You want more "positive" press for this? Talk about "pampering an athlete".

  11. One loses sight of that. Thanks for pointing that out.

     

     

     

    Why such venom? The changes over in Denver has been real positive, huh. I'm not saying that Jauron is the end all answer, what I'm trying to point out is the timing of a change if it needs to be done.

     

    When was I excited when we hired Jauron or after our three 7-9 seasons?? And yeah, I stand by what I said, I am excited and think that Brandon is doing a great job. Stability will get us to the next step in my opinion.

     

    Thanks. Your envy is flattering but why don't you get a little more optimistic yourself?

     

     

     

    Too bad some of the fans can't be.

     

    I think McDaniels will be another nobody who never should have left BB's nest, but we don't know what will happen in Denver yet---they haven't lost a game yet under their new coach. Clearly their owner has lost his mind.

     

    But we do know that Pitt, Atlanta, Miami, Arizona, have done pretty well by shaking up the staff. Why would it be bad for the Bills do something other than the predictable: paying nice ol' Dick Jauron for another 3 years.

     

     

     

    Is it wrong to point out that you say "things are pointing in a positive direction" every year, when, clearly, that's not what's happening? Haven't you noticed this pattern?

     

    You seem to have never not been excited by DJ and crew. How does DJ (you've seen him and his crew coach) "get us to the next step"? Is he going to become a better NFL HC this year than he has been throughout his career?

     

    Why is it unreasonable to want something else for this team? Something that might be better?
