Ooooof ... Still trying to wrap my head around Smith being a slight upgrade over Fitz. But be that as it may, if KC is in a win now mode, what mode are the Bills in after the last 13 years of sucking?

Any advantages to being there in person versus watching on ESPN other than "the game day experience" type of thing like going to games versus watching on TV?

Or just display the official times immediately. It's not rocket science.

Buddy Nix and Darcy Regier ... Buffalos dynamic duo.

I am assuming the simucam is ESPNs too. But it could be an NFL plot to somehow trick the Bills into making bad picks!

I believe the official times are from when they break the beam at the start line and when they break the other one after 40 yards. That is why they can start whenever they are ready as opposed to having a starting gun kind of thing. The unofficial times are somebody from ESPN or somewhere clicking their stopwatch when it looks like the player starts moving and when it looks like they cross the finish line. That's why the two times differ. Now why they need unofficial times at all and just don't automatically post the official times immediately I can't explain.

In that case dump him.

What business is it of the NFLPA if Marcia decided to give the Pats* a hometown discount? Assuming it's all on the up and up (big assumption for the Pats* I know), that's his business. Probably likes it there, wants to retire from there, and wants it to remain a strong team while he is there. What's a couple million to him. He has a house in Cali with a freaking moat that cost $20 million for Christs sake.

My theory is there is no good reason to handcuff a new coach. You have to let them do things their way and give them enough rope to either succeed or hang themselves.

And lest we forget, imported a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader to the Buffalo area!

This draft class seems to be flush with WR talent if what I am reading is correct.

Exactly. Manning is out and the Colts epically suck in the one season that assured them the ability to draft the second coming of Manning. And they now have their franchise QB for the foreseeable future. Meanwhile the Bills are giving Fitz the big contract. Well played Indy. In my opinion, the Bills organization has nothing over the Colts. From front office down through the players. Cream rises ot the top while the **** sinks to the bottom. Guess which the Bills are currently. Still hoping that changes but for now it's only a hope.

People wondering how he can afford to take so "little"? He is already rich as !@#$. He is still making 9 mil per year, and his wife makes 45 mil a year. This "cut" in pay gives the Pats* something like 15 mil in cap space. He doesn't need more money, but while he is still playing he wants to be on a winning team. Pretty easy to understand.

I disagree. Bills fandom, particularly season ticket buying fandom, is as solid as ever. Plus they have the built in excuse of new coaching staff and lots of new players should the Bills suck again this season. The ticket buying public will excuse at least one season of sucking under Marrone.

Yet they went 11-5 last year and made the playoffs. And aside from the "suck for Luck" season (which I contend was no accident) you have to go back to 2001 for a sub .500 season. Yeah that certainly sounds like a team with less talent than a team that has been below .500 since 2004.

With all the holes they had already, plus the new ones that have been created recently, I don't see how the Bills cannot be active in FA. They can't be planning on plugging all the holes simply from the draft. Though WR does seem like one they can fill in the draft this year if they so choose. I have to admit that the Nix logic does elude me as well.

You are all ignoring the best reason Nelson should be on the Bills. His wife/girlfriend is in Buffalo so we could have the first gorgeous Jill! http://www.complex.com/sports/2012/09/the-hottest-wags-of-the-2012-nfl-season/kelsi-reich

But this is the offseason. The time when Bills fans still have hope! I personally find these types of threads hilarious. For the reasons you stated plus you have all these "I love this guy!" and "culture change" posts because he won't talk to the other NFL coaches/scouts about the super talented Syracuse players in the draft this year . This is good stuff!

It's simple. Brandon obviously loves football. This is the only football activity going on at the moment. Pretty much every like minded professional football person on the planet will be there. It's party time, NFL style.

Brandon is neither the head coach nor the GM so whoever asked that question has **** for brains. The only logical response from Brandon was no response.

The main problem with the Sabres in my opinion has been Regier. He lucked into the perfect storm for the 98-99 season, then proceeded to decimate the team by allowing Briere and Drury, then Campbell to walk (without even an offer being made according to Briere and Drury). His philosophy has been to get a good goalie, surround him with average skaters, and hope he steals a bunch of games and/or one of the average players goes on a tear like Vanek did at the beginning of this season. You can make a case that Vanek isn't average and you could be right. But he is certainly not in the elite category. But try and name a Sabre other than Miller and Vanek that is above average. As a matter of fact, it might be a bit of a stretch to call most of the Sabres defense even average this season. In hockey, like football, it's all about the players on the roster. And it is the GMs job to get and keep quality players on the roster. Regier, in my opinion, has failed miserably.

That actually is another really good reason (maybe the best reason) season ticket sales will always be fairly strong in Buffalo.

Because some moron built an open air stadium in Buffalo NY.

Easy. New coaching staff top to bottom takes care of that. Remember, Bills fans are looking for an excuse, ANY excuse, to renew their seasons. They don't need much of one and a new coaching staff is more than sufficient.

I would say improbable but not impossible.
