  1. London Fletcher. He would have been a "risky" resign for his age at time we let him go (32), but he has averaged over 140 tackles a year the last 6 years in Washington, hasn't missed a start, and provided a passionate, vocal leader. We could sure have used some of those things over the last 6 years
  2. Although Poz went for too much money, our appalling run defense the last few years missed him greatly
  3. This has been our best move of the offseason. If we can just get to mediocre at stopping the run we will be more fun to watch! Plus I mean it's amazing to me that he can coach and still have time to film all those episodes with his wife Brandi in Storage Wars!!
  4. Honestly all this list does is remind me how important a QB is. Saints and Steelers prior to Brees and Big Ben were not all that great
  5. The Podcast is terrific. For us out of state fans the daily news updates and interviews keep us connected and up to speed. Love it!
  6. The highlight of this draft so far has been the trade down- I cheered wildly as for once we didn't rush our pick to the podium. However, other than Woods, I think we messed up. Again. It's not the players aren't good (who knows at this point). It's just that the buffoons running the show at OBD really think they know better than everyone esle. They haven't earned that right. We have go to stop reaching for players thinking we have some secret analysis of them- Troupe was picked too early, Graham was picked too early last year. This year we clearly picked Manuel too early, Alsonso too ealry and our second safety wayy too ealry. I continue to see the best teams (49ers this year) draft players right at (or usually after) the point in the draft they have been predicted to go. I see awful teams (Bills) reaching for guys earlier than other teams would have picked them. I
  7. Can't imagine a scenario where Buffalo drafts a lineman in the top 10 with Buddy. He has proven he does not put a premium (salary wise) in the line, declining to pay up for Peters, Bell and Levitre. Why draft someone we won't want to resign after their rookie contract expires?
  8. Interesting info. I am embarassed to admit I bought Madden EVERY one of those years for the PS2 and the PS3 once I had that- Always preferred franchise mode on the PS2- don't know why they can't get it right on the PS3!
  9. OK let's be realistic. When was the last Bill's season that wasn't a complete write off?? Of course this will be a lost year. We are deviod or below standards of NFL caliber talent at several positions (QB, WR, TE, MLB, OLB, SS, CB2) Two of our top players are free agents. We haven't had a great draft in years Our owner and President for the duration of this losing spell are still in place. etc. I"ll go in hoping of for the best of course, but expectations are for anothe lost season
  10. Some people in Western NY need to get some thicker skins and stop trying to run players out of town for not loving the fans or being knuckleheads. McGahee, Lynch, Whitner and now Williams. None of these guys are saints, but relax! We have enough problems acquiring decent playerslet alone replacing ones.
  11. No way on this guy. I hate to say it but this weird stuff with his girlfriend is a huge red flag. A guy drafted in the top 10 needs to be a cornerstone player for this team- no red flags or weird off the field things unless we are talking about the next Ray Lewis.
  12. This is business as usual for top prospects. Get your mind and body right for the combine. He will be out here in Arizona at one of the performance clubs- 1) Mastering the combine drills 2) Getting in rock diesel shape 3) Practicing to ace the GM and coach interviews 4) Practicing the Wonderlick (sic?) test He's a top 10 pick if he can do well on the above
  13. I'm referring to Andy Reid
  14. My math says 9 playoff appearances and multiple Championship games- this is the opposite of underwhelming
  15. The Bear's have missed the playoffs 5 out of the last 6 years. Move on please.
  16. It was after the Pats lost the Cardinals this year that I became intersted in Horton. He has NO FEAR of the Pats or Brady and knew how to beat them- read this article on Horton and the Patriots http://nesn.com/2012/09/cardinals-defensive-coordinator-ray-horton-says-patriots-were-tipping-offensive-tendencies/ Horton joined Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Show Tuesday and talked about the plan he crafted specifically for Brady and the Patriots. "Everything that we did was based on what had they did last year and what we thought they were going to do and a lot of it we took them out of their game plan so they didn't do a ton of it," Horton said. "[The plan] was to confuse Tom Brady, to come up with some things he hasn't seen before, because it is different." Ray Horton, Arizona Cardinals Defensive Coordinator Brady only had one touchdown in the Patriots loss, and admittedly was caught off guard. "I heard through Jay Feely that he talked to Tom Brady after the game and Tom said, 'I have no idea what you guys are doing', and so it did work," Horton said.
  17. I have no interest in Lovie Smith. He is completely underwhelming, from personality to performance (No Playoffs 5 of last six years??) It alarms me how much love some Bills fans are giving him. Ray Horton I like- as a Phoenix resident I can tell you he prepares for every game and you have no idea how bad the Cards offense was this year- to have his D play as well as it did is a miracle. Don't sleep on Whisenhunt- he did turn around a TERRIBLE Cardinals franchise. Granted Kurt Warner helped, but I have to guess he is the direction the Bills go unless Horton has a rock star interview. Andy Reid is a no brainer and should be hired tomorrow,
  18. Here is my prediction- this will happen fast! I live in Arizona and this guy is a rising star. He is prepared and keeps detailed notes on every team and scheme. He will come prepared to the interview and blow everyone away. There is some urgency because the Cardinals are also restructuring right now, and they like him. He will get hired somewhere this week imho. The players love and respect him, he has a calm, but capable demeanor, and great coaching pedigree (he learned defense from Dick Lebeau who may be the best ever) He would I think bring some immediate credibility and if I dare say some needed panache to Buffalo You heard it here!!!
  19. 1 (It's my price is right move!)
  20. No no no. Horrible linebackers Below average SS and #2,3 and 4 cb Poop depth on D line Average #1 WR with awful #2-#10 WR One of the 10 worst starting QBs in the league We can't compete on the field
  21. Well, there is one other difference that was maybe a factor- Brown/Chiefs and then Pats/49ers maybe? Tiny bit different
  22. This could be any Bills game, any year. It's the reason when I lived in NY I sprung for tickets in the Jim Kelly club- keep away from the idiots. This is the kind of stuff that will get tailgating curtailed and ruined for those of us that really do know how to hold our liquor.
  23. There is no argueing that this draft was terrible- it looked bad the weekend we drafted and worse now years later with the facts in. Let's hope it was Modrak and not Buddy who thumbed his nose at "experts" and kept reaching for guys with much lower grades- we just don't know. I think it's a bit of both- keep in mind TJ Graham wasn't rated as a 3rd rounder but here he is- let's hope for the best, but we were too terrible of a team to have another wasted draft in 2010.
  24. You wouldn't say this if your 85 pound kid was getting run over by 110 pounders The rules are fair- this boy can play, just not with kids 1/3 his weight- what's the issue?? Especially now with player safety so important- as a coach I had to take an online safety course, get cpr certified and sign an emergency procedure guideline- all new this year. Also there is a new rule that any boy with a head issue is automatically out and can't come back without a doctors note.
  25. Hard to argue with 24 if you take emotion out of it- Inconsistent Too many INTs Does not produce wins Maybe he can continue the "we are dis-respected, 7th round nobodies" theme the offensive guys have been rolling with and turn the rankings upside down!
