I seem to remember an OC that was fired by the Chefs even before he had any regular season games under his belt. The Bills had no problems picking him up.

Also a great metaphor for how talk about this play will never cease

I agree with you on this. I don't know how the refs could have called that an incompletion initially. It was obvious to almost everybody (refs not included) that it was a catch. Even the announcers were on board with it being an interception (even though they did not mention the elbow). If they had called it an interception, I'm not sure that the ref would not have reversed the call anyway due to his foot not being down. I doubt the ref even recognized the elbow being down in the replays. We've seen this situation over and over again though, where the ref gets the initial call wrong, and it completely screws over the *should be benefiting* team. As evidence, the Steelers and Phins game this week, and the Broncos-Chargers came a couple years back that Hochuli botched. It happens.

I'm not against trading down to later in the first round if enough low round picks are acquired during the trade. We need a lot of players, not just 1 (the #1 pick).

Agreed. McIntyre is a beast.

Another from me. Though it would be nice to rip the Jets a new one the second time around also.

Okay, so we pick a QB with the 1st pick. And he plays as well as Fitzpatrick did yesterday and loses. How is that helping anything?

And since he creates threads like crazy....NaPolian loves making moves on dicks

Ohh, you got me there. I thought it was ruled an interception, then overturned. Had to go back and check. Point: Alphadawg7

Too bad that rule shouldn't be even in this discussion, his elbow was down INBOUNDS. Interception.

You are completely correct. When I was watching the replays, I was 100% sure they would let it stand as I saw his elbow down. It is complete BS that the officials blew that call AFTER a booth review.

And it helps that Peyton's WRs can do this: Link

Are you seriously blaming Fitz for them losing games? Are you kidding? He led the offense in getting 26 points last week, but it was HIS FAULT that the jags scored 36? I guess I don't know anything about football

Bingo. Our first 1 or 2 picks this draft need to be d-linemen and reliable linebackers need to be acquired also. We could draft a top tier QB and he'll help our O average 30 points a week, but when the D is giving up 35 points every week, what's the point? The last few years, I've been yearning to see the Bills field an offense that can be productive and a defense that can stop the run. They have a serviceable offense now, they do not have the defense.

I 'm pretty sure you are right. I used to watch the games on Channel 5 from Utica and they would blackout also.

I feel like this thread needs a bump. I am one of the fans who thought that we would be a better team than the "experts" were making us out as and while I still think we will do better than what most of these predictions have the bills pegged for, I concede that they are much more correct in their predictions than I was (so far).

Same impression here. I remember back during the 3-13 season in 2001, I went to the Jets (they finished 10-6) game at the Meadowlands with my buddy and his brothers (buddy is an iggles fan, brothers are Jets fans) expecting to watch a total disaster. Bills won 14-9, it was a glorious day.

Week 4: Cincy Week 1: Baltimore Week 2: Philly Week 3: Indy

Also, it had to be clear to him that he's not in high demand and staying with the team was his only surefire way to stay in the NFL and get a paycheck.

Problem is, we have so many positions to fill, we can't be spending $10 mil a year on each player (that's Clement's contract: 8-year, $80 mil).

Colts

FINALLY. I don't care if they are all interceptions, I hope he throws the ball downfield. At least I'll have that slight amount of excitement while the ball is in the air.

I'm starting to think this is the way to go. The whole off season I had hope that we might be good, and well, the hope is gone and its time to stop trying to win with what we have and start hording draft picks (this doesn't mean try to lose to get the #1). I would much rather see lynch/evans/whoever go in trades for draft picks and not stop gap players. Nix wants to build the team through the draft, lets see if he can do it.

Gotta take the easy way out eh? I'm going with Philly
