How did it work? They were in the AFC championship game last year without so e of those big name FAs.

Best ru. Of MLs career and it still wasn't that great. I heard so much about it and then finally got to watch it for myself. Much weaker than I expected. A few broken tackles and a weak stiff arm to a backpeddling DB while he was stopping. Really did t push him that far. Just made it look bad because he juked a little bit.
I'd rather have Jackson any day if the week. ML had 1 good game, that's it. He did t do crap for the Hawks all year. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes.

I didn't watch the game or this run until just now on espn. What a bogus piece of cap everyone is making this run out to be. This is nothing short of what he has done when he was in Buffalo and it really wasn't that impressive. The Saints couldn't tackle for s$&t, and that stiff arm was weak!!! He didn't "throw" or "shove", or "push" Porter off of hi. Like many have said on this board. I was expecting to see an Earl Campbell type run with a sick stiff arm in it. He barely touched Porter and stopped while doing it at the same time that Porter was really just backpeddling. I remember watching Travis Henry stiff arm defenders into the concrete under the turf.
FYI with as average as I thught this run was, it's still the best run of his career and he will NEVER do anything like it again.
Fact is still that Lynch didn't do crap all year for the Hawks and had 1 good run during an important game and everyone blows a gasket. What a joke some people are in this board. He showed he didn't deserve to be here as Freddy was better (even though he was older) and we were able to get something for nothing. He is the reason why we suck. Because we pick sub par talent and hang on to them too long and expect them to be better than they really are, just like Poz, Whitner, Kelsey, Schobel, McGee (smart move to let Greer walk considering Terrance hasn't played in more than about 8 games a year since he left), Evans, Stroud, Mitchell, etc....... I could go at this all day with current and previous players that we (buffalo fans and FO) think are better than they really are. They finally got something for the pot smoking, gun toting, drunk driving, Canadian hitting, vehicle manslaughtering POS and I'm happy. He won't be finishing next season anyway. It's only a matter of time before he gets in trouble again. He's a dumb f$&k!!!!!! I can't believe many if you can't see this. Ugh!!!!!

I wouldn't be suprised if Luck change his decision to play another year in college now.
-
I'd prefer Newton and I think after the National Championship many others will be in love with him too. I wouldn't mind this draft, but I really want Newton. A Newton and Heyward draft might be better IMO.

I just listened to the whole thing for this Jimbo mea culpa, and I shouldn't have bothered since what you said is exactly how the interview went.
Biscuit actually said the Bills partied too much during Super Bowl weeks, though, so I think there is some merit to it....Of course, I remember when the Raiders beat the Eagles in '80, they said it was because Vermeil had the Eagles too tight, while the Raiders were out partying! I guess it depends who wins whether it's good or bad to party!
I definately remember Bennett in an interview while on the Falcons during their Super Bowl against the Broncos where he stressed his thoughts to the rest of his team what a big mistake he and everyone else on the Bills made by not being prepared for those games as they were often out until 6am the nights before.
Personally I blame Levy for this. I know these guys were adults and athletes, and should have been able to police themselves but Levy never had these guys on ANY leash. For thier biggest games of thier careers we really needed a coach that could guide them. All Levy was for us is an old babysitter. It kinda reminds me of my grandpa watching me when I was a kid.
-
Cameron Heyward had a dominating performance. Nice job by the big guy.
Personally I'd lime to trade down and get Newton or Mallet late in the first(that's if were going to pick up a QB at all. No point in taking anyone else, a 3rd runder or lower won't be impressive at all anyway) and then take Heyward in the 2nd. The guy is a monster.
-
His demeanor for the rest of the game will tell a lot. This next 30 minutes of football will have a huge impact on his immediate future.
So far, even with some bad recieving, he is showing he can pull his team back from being down. I really hope he wins this and gives everyone a little something to think about.
-
I like the fact that he is huge and has a cannon for an arm. Not sure about all the crap rumors out there. He really reminds me alot of Big Ben. I like him so far. I like Hayward alot too. He's looked really beefy so far.

The Bills have a chance to get Peter Luger steak and you people want them to get chopmeat?
CBs are a dime a dozen. Find ANY clown who can run fast and you can make him a CB. Teams have won Super Bowls with lousy backfields. Good luck even making the playoffs with a lousy front seven.
Mmmm!! Peter Luger!!!
Unfortunately, you might be wrong. One of the top CBs could possibly be the next Revis or Ashoughma (however the hell you spell it). They are both arguably the best CBs in the league and could be shut down for the next 5-10 years (if we actually keep him after the first contract is over). My point is this. At #3 we should be able to get the nicest piece if steak at just about any position short of Luck at QB.
I'd say let's just get the BPA when we draft. This team needs playmakers at almost every position. The crapshoot of the NFL draft is a complete unknown at just about every position.
-
Orton is no better than Fitz. I dont hate the guy, especially if he was all we had. but Id be pissed if we even gave up a 4th for him since we already have him on the roster, more or less.
What he said ======^
personally I think Orton is pretty good. And would like to see him here if we didn't have Fitz. But they are very similar, as far as quality of QB goes. So I don't think we really need him. On the other hand, if he was cut and we could pick him up, I'd take it. Just wouldn't give up ANY draft picks for him.
-
Sorry for my spelling on that post. On an iPhone and it's hard to go through the entire thing to make sure it's all correct.

Maybe the Panthers will be in the mood to deal the #1 since they traded their #2 pick (33 overall) to the dreaded Patriots for Armanti Edwards. They, like the Bills, have lots of needs. The Bills better at least hold discussions on getting Luck(y).
This is most likely our only shot at getting luck. We would have to give Carolina our 1st, 2nd and most likely 3rd or possibly the 1st in 2012 to get up to take Luck.
I have to say that I Luck is as good as everybody thinks, then any team that doesn't have Manning, Brady, Rodgers, Brees should be looking to trade up for Luck. Clausen and Tebow are reasons to give us hope but they mean absolutely nothing. Not to mention both teams will have new head coaches. These new head coaches will want to bring in thief own guys, and a fresh franchise QB would be the way to draft. It could really be thv future of any franchise.
On that note, I say if Luck is there then you take him. If he's not there, you either think Newton or Mallett is your man and take them at #3 or you do your best to trade back to pick up some extra draft picks. Our team has so many holes it makes Swiss cheese jealous. I was at the Maybin draft and remember how much the Pats traded down that day. It really does make you realize why they have so many quality players even when thier starters go down. Thier entire team is basically filled with 2nd and 3rd rounders. That day the pats traded 2-3 1st rounders to acquire more picks. They ended with something like 5-6 2nd runders and 3-4 3rd rounders. It was jus silly. It seemed like they were picking every 3 picks for those rounds. It also gave them a chance to trade up once or twice to male sure they got thier man.
With all that said, if you think your man is there at #3 then take him. If there isn't a guy there that your in live with, trade at all costs. Keep trading back until you stockpile picks.

Where are you all getting your contract information from? As per KFFL here are our free agents yet I don't see Whitner listed so it's possible their listing is wrong.
Pos Player Name FA Status Previous Team Current Team
FB Corey McIntyre UFA Buffalo Bills Free Agent
OL Garrison Sanborn ERFA Buffalo Bills Free Agent
DL John McCargo UFA Buffalo Bills Free Agent
DL Marcus Stroud UFA Buffalo Bills Free Agent
LB Chris Kelsay UFA Buffalo Bills Free Agent
LB Paul Posluszny UFA Buffalo Bills Free Agent
CB Drayton Florence UFA Buffalo Bills Free Agent

Ya. Something must be wrong here cause Whitner is missing and, McIntyre signed a few weeks ago for another 2 or so years.

Am I the only one that views most of these items as bad things for the NFL.
1. Player accountability - Really? Maybe? But the rules seem so arbitrarily enforced I'm not sure it's a good thing or not. But, I'll give him this one.
2. Player safety - making the high priced QBs untouchable and now making it completely subjective as to whats a legal tackle and what's not. I see this as bad for football? Some of the roughing the passer penalties are completely horrible because the QB is barely touched. It's altering the outcome of games.
3. More TV coverage - Maybe. I'll give him this, but I'm not convinced. 3 games on Thanksgiving is too much. 2 Monday night games on opening Monday. Thurs/Sun/ and Monday night games is pushing it. Why not go back to more double headers on Sunday? As much as I like watching football, even I'm reaching a saturation point of seeing the same half a dozen teams over and over again in all the prime time games. Wanna do something? Give all teams a primetime game and stop showing favoritism to the big market teams.
4. In-Stadium experience - I don't get to attend a lot of games. But if $9 beers is better for football, then yeah I'll give him this one.
5. Red Zone channel - Really? I mean really? Maybe its ok, but is that really something to highlight as some great advancement for the league?
6. Draft in prime time - I think it's horrible and every long time football fan I know hates it. It's ruined the draft day parties. It stretched it out and is stupid. No way this is good.
7. Moving the Probowl to before the SB - Horrible. Now, a good number of ProBowlers don't even participate. Just stupid.
8. Focused on doing what's best for the players, teams and fans - Highly debatable. I'm not sure the league has done something with the fans actually in mind in years. Every year the cost of everything associated with football goes up making the league billions more. While my draft party gets canceled, my favorite team never gets a prime time game, the refs regularly screw my team with obscure, highly subjective calls always in favor of the high profile team, and now your trying to ship games overseas in an effort to get more fans you can eventually screw over.
Maybe I'm just in a pissy mood.
Nope. Not in a pissy mood at all. I agree with almost all of what you said. Too much NFL is actually a bad thing. The small markets are getting run out of the league by the douchebag Jerry Jones' and Daniel Snyder's of the league. If Green Bay wasn't publicly owned I'd suspect this would never be a problem (since the league would never allow GB to be in such distress). The league would do everything they could to help the small market teams (really only for GB). Unfortunatly nobody gives a f&$k about Butfalo, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, St Louis, Minnesota. Any one of these teams either have, or are in jeopordy of losing their teams at anytime.
The players are just as greedy now days, and most of them play like wussies and complain about every little hit or every little fine. The whole Harrison fine mess this year made me want to puke up a baby.
The league has serious issue with babying thier pretty boy QBs too.
"Let's let the other positions get the s$&t kicked out of them all game, but if someone even sneezes on Tom Brady or Payton Manning within a 12 yard radius give them a $5mil fine and a 300yrd penalty. Better yet, let's just fix the rest of the game so that they will get the idea not to hit Tom Brady ever again"
now I sound pissy. WTF!!!
-
why not. If he fails at QB he'd be one hell of a tight end!
I was just thinking that. He could really play WR, RB, TE, FB and that's IF he faulters as a QB. I'd personally love to see him in a Bills uni. But I believe in Buddy and Chan. If they think they can mold this kid to be great, then they'll draft him. If they doubt it at all, then we will end up with the best D player in the draft.
-
I'd personally be ok with trading down even if Luck was there. We could have a very Ricky Williams type draft with some team giving us all or many early draft picks for the opportunity at Lucks services. Don't get me wrong here, I think Luck is going to be the next great QB, but we could fullfill many needs with starting caliber players with an extra 2nd, 3rd, 4th(that would be 3 in the 4th) along with a lower 1st. We could still end up with a good QB in Newton or Mallett and potentially a starting OT or DT, DE.
At the same time, anyone in the 4-10 spots would kill for Luck and they know Buffalo is in need of a franchise QB and woul just jump us in the trade an offer the same to Carolina or even Denver. Both will have new coach's and would either love a new franchise QB or a ton of pics to rebuild. We might be screwed either way. :-(

Firstly let me state that I am a total Buffalo Bills fan and don't have room in my heart to cheer for another team. There's many teams I don't like but point being, I am not a Raiders fan. This call was one of the great screw jobs of all time.
http://www.nfl.com/v...s-The-Tuck-Rule
Listen to what Brady says. Listen to what longtime Boston Globe writer Bob Ryan says about the rule.
In almost 40 years of watching football before that game, I had never seen that rule invoked. Never.
I don't care if his arm was moving forward…he had no intention of throwing the ball. It was a pump fake. The ball was knocked loose. Making it a fumble to everyone in the universe except for Little Wally Coleman.
And nothing boils my blood like a miscarriage of justice.
Personally, and I know it's terrible to bring this up, but I Think this game was fixed. It just happened to be the season of the Trade Center attacks on 911 and it's no coincidence the the Red, White and Blue Patriots from New England made it to the Super Bowl and win thier first Super Bowl in amazing fashion on a last minute FG. Being from Buffalo and in the AFC East, we hate the Pats, but I think the country or maybe a larger fan base wanted this or needed this win.
Onto a completely different subject, it's coming up on a few years now that the Sabs played in that horrible outdoor game. I sat on my couch and was telling my roomate at the time before the game even started, that the final would be a shootout where Crosby gets the game winning goal. A few hours later I was right. I just think it's horrible that some things are obvious. Oh well, the NHL needed a super hero and Crosby is apparently thier guy. Just so happens that Brady had to be that guy in the NFL.

I actually don't think this is a bad thing. The truth is, our DBs are from the biggest problem with this defense, they are also in need if some serious help. If we happened to pick up the next great corner in this league it would hardly be a bad thing. Shut down corners are hard to come by. McGee absolutely cannot play a full season. He can't even finish a half season. And he hasn't been even good for about 3 years now. McKelvin is not exactly a bust, but he's not the corner we thought we were getting. Any help at this position would be a good thing. In fact, one could say that if we were able to pick up a true shut down corner like Nnamdi Asomugha or Derrell Revis we could just stack the box against the run and dare teams to pass on us. Just saying, there's always more than one way to create a good team. Playmakers would be a good start.

Here's my point: I'm sick of the double-standard #1 picks get. Sam Bradford may be the next Tom Brady but in 2010 he was fairly average. His stats are average. He plays in the worst division in the NFL. He has only one win versus a team with a winning record. The Rams played one of the easier schedules in the NFL. But he's the man!
Meanwhile Fitz played at a very high level against murderous competition and did very well but he's "just a backup."
So how about being fair when comparing QB's instead of giving a knob job to very average QB's who happen to be #1 draft picks?
PTR
I think your a little off on this one. While I mostly agree with your gripe about why other qbs get more love. I personally agree with you about Fitz. I want him to be our starter in 2011 and I think he could be our long term as well(we will know by the end of next season). But to say I wouldn't rather have Bradcord is just dumb. This kid is already proving to win games and single handedly take him team from the dumps to playoff contention. I don't care what div he plays in, the fact is they have a shot at a playoff birth. Other than Luck, he is the only young QB that I would really want.

ARE YOU HIGH!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

He won it on Dungy's tab. In Oakland you got to see the guy he was.
I'm not sure your point here. Are you saying that he didn't deserve the ring because of the team that Dungy put together for him to take over? didn't he beat the Raider team in that Super Bowl that he put together and left when he went to Tampa? He gets credit either way IMO. One end of it- he ammassed a Super Bowl caliber team in Oakland, the other end- he took a team that couldn't get it done previously over the hump to win it's first Super Bowl. Against his own team no less.

It's great that Stevie will tie and pass the Bills record for tds next week in our first win against the Pats in however many years it's been. I can't wilait to get a #13 jersey and have Reeds name put on the back of my Evans jersey after he is cut this offseason.
I have figured out what Rex Ryan is doing
