Was such a big Edwards supporter until the second game of the 2009 season when he completely miss played that game against the Saints. The guy had all the time in the world in that game had two quality receivers to throw to and the game was close enough for him to go for it. I saw in that game all I needed to see from Turd Edwards. Sad because maybe before that hit in Arizona he could have had a career BUT maybe it was just bound to happen.

Actual analysis not a series of jokes followed up by a bunch of common analysis that people jam in there. Its actually well written with legit criticisms and solid analysis. I disagree that Fitz won't be the long term answer. Granted its unlikely but not a forgone conclusion either. I think this year will show just how solid Fitz can be if the support gets better.

Prohibition at its finest.

Yeah I understand the media shunning the Bills too. Its not hard to see how they aren't viewed as relevant by the national media. Still winning will change all that.

SAFER Metrics people have been praising Kyle Williams all year. National media might not be giving Williams his due but that's because he is a Bill. Anytime anyone mentions the Bills D Kyle Williams is their one bright spot.

Nelson as a big slot receiver in place of a tighend could work. Chan's system doesn't seem to use tight ends.

Lets see how much of a offensive guru Chan can be with CJ. Freddie is the in between the tackles guy while CJ is more of a scat back. Receiving and finding space for CJ seems like Chan's goal for the off-season. Also while CJ Spiller is likely the main focus of the off-season I think that Lee Evans and the younger receivers are big players that need to be developed. Lee needs to be a factor alongside Stevie and guys like Nelson have to contribute in some sort of fashion.

Problem is that the Bills have taken too many risks over the smart safer picks. Whinter over Nagata, trading up to take Losman, trading up to take McCargo when Nick Mangold was there for the taking, and Maybin was a much more risky pick than Orakpo or Oher. The Bills under Marv/Jauron and under Donahue were trying to outsmart everyone making boom or bust picks that ended up with bust for the Bills. Spiller was another pick that seemed like they were trying to make the pick that proved they could outsmart everyone. Dareus much safer smarter pick. If you have the worst run defense in the league take the best run defender. Bottomline you make the right picks and develop them you will be successful. Game theory and SAFER metrics they are all good but in the end its a game of blocking and tackling.

Maybe Belicheat was so good because he was cheating? No need to explore game theory there he just had an unfair illegal advantage. Throw in the fact that the clutch Pats* suddenly can't win that many playoff games since they got caught cheating. Its as if they had an advantage in clutch situations and now they suddenly lost it. If you draft good players put them in the right system and have the right talent around them you will win games. Its not rocket science.

8-8 would be good if the team shows progress it can't be a Jauron like 7-9 where the team beats out a bunch of bad or mediocre teams barely. It has to have two or more wins against quality opponents, two or more complete blowouts, and two or more of the loses against good teams have to be down to wire. Almost every level of the team has to improve.

I think he would be a good fit as long as he knew he was the backup. But I am not sure he thinks he is one.

Mike Williams was the worst pick. 1 decent year for a 3rd overall pick is much worse than nothing from the 11th overall pick. 3rd overall picks are suppose to be game changers for your franchise. While 11th overall picks are suppose to make an impact. Fat Mike not being the anchor to the line he was suppose to be set this franchise back much more than Maybin the 11th overall pick being a complete zero. I can't justify anyone but Fat Mike being the worst pick by Modrak and company.

Yeah its tough to see them dipping into the free agency pool for a good/starting caliber RT. As much as I want them to I think they are going with Quantity over quality. If someone emerges that plays well its a good move if not well its going to hurt the line. Really think they won't go after a Tight end either. Although I think that they will sign a few more LB's in free agency.

Throw in resigning Poz and signing Steven Cooper along with a decent backup OLB and I would be on board for that.

Good to see there is a succession plan for Nix. Honestly this front office seems more competent in general. Although it still has to manifest its self on the football field first. After all Nix in year one was 4-12.

8-8 with progress (not 7-9) would be much better than 3-13. The amount of progression that the team would take on both sides of the ball to improve from worst rush D in the league and from a 4-12 record would move this franchise forward light years. The lack of player development that would have to occur for the team to go 3-13 would do far more damage than drafting Luck would help. I know there are going to be a lot of guys who think picking a QB 1st overall would solve all of our problems but there isn't a panacea out there for this team. While the player development that would occur in an 8-8 season would move this franchise forward a lot.

I think its a good fit. Shanny likes mobile QB's Elway, Plummer, Cutler, and McNabb were all mobile QB's in his time with Denver. McNabb's landing spot will be interesting.

3 years 15 million only 5 gauranteed. The guy is worth it been the best corner the last two seasons. McKelvin is too inconsistant, McGee too injured, and Williams is just a rookie.

Jasper hype has to get tempered. Never seen so much hype for a 7th round pick before Seriously the guy might not even make the team let alone start or make a serious impact. Although Special teams may give him an outlet to contribute.

Both would be good to have as backups that could learn under Fitz BUT you can't give up anything greater than a 5th round pick. Both seem like projects but you have a need for a backup QB so having a young hungry QB behind Fitz wouldn't be a bad thing at all.

I think it worked out for us defense had more pressing needs. Giving up both 4ths or our 3rd would have sucked especially when we would have been giving it up for a poor mans version of Chad Pennington.

Mike Williams (You miss on the fourth overall pick enough said) Aaron Maybin (You miss on the 11th overall pick enough said) Jp Losman (Late 1st rounder while he set the franchise back years) John McCargo (Late 1st round pick that was considered a huge reach and Nick Mangold should have been the pick) James Hardy (early second rounder that was out in two years) Man you are given the 3rd, 11th, 22nd, 26th, and 41st picks in the draft you deserve to be fired (Not to mention if McKelvin and Spiller don't work out you could add another 11th and 9th pick as failures, throw in a wrong but not bust call on Whitner you could add the 8th pick into that equation). Bad drafting for a decade means no playoffs for a decade.

Bingo not every big guy plucked out of obscurity is going to be the next Pat Williams. As much as Jasper is a physical freak he played for a college that didn't provide him with a whole lot of competition and he wasn't taken until the 7th round. I am not sure if Jasper will amount to anything but the guy is intriguing and the Bills got a fun camp project that is worth at least keeping on the Practice Squad.

Probably the only time you can fire him is after the draft. The organization probably had already started draft preparation when it decided Modrak wasn't good enough. So fire him once the draft is over begin preparation with a new staff fresh for next years draft. Still makes you wounder why they didn't do this after last years draft is beyond me. Although it could have been due to a lack of Impact from last years draftees this past season that lead to this.

The front 7 is still short on lbs Merriman is always hurt Poz is hurt a lot Moats is still developing throw in the fact that Sheppard is a rookie and its far from set. But its still on its way
