Could they lose either the Oakland game or the St. Louis game? Sure. But neither of these is a "trap" game. A trap game, in the truest sense of the word, is a game that is followed on the schedule by a strong (or perceived strong) opponent. It's a game where you're looking past your current opponent to the next. If, for example, New England* or even another division opponent like the Jest were after Oakland, then the Raider game would be considered a trap game. St. Louis could be considered a trap game moreso than Oakland IF the Cardinals continue to win, but only slightly. They're an NFC West opponent...hardly the stuff of great anticipation. San Diego can't be considered a trap game either because they follow the Bye Week. If the Jest continue to win, then the dulfelons could be considered the "trap" game. Although they're a hated, division rival, they shouldn't have a very good record and the game is in Miami. The following week? Favre and the Jest.

522?? It's pretty up there (very scenic) but too slow with all the lights, etc. I've been that way and this way is faster: 95N - 495N - 70W - 76W (Breezewood - PA TNPK) - 79N (@ Cranberry) - 90E Aldrich's was OK, but I certainly wouldn't call it "a great ice cream place". That moniker would belong to Sullivan's in Sheridan. From the former Aldrich's, head a short ways up 60N and make a right onto 20 (@ the Wendy's on the corner). Go a little up the road and you'll see it on the left hand side. It's a cozy little place. I remember going there as a kid when it was still called Steve's (my dad grew up in Dunkirk). Different name, same great place. Gawwwwwd, I love that place. There are also several outstanding wineries along there. Just follow the green signs with the grapes on them. A few within a couple miles of Sullivan's: Liberty Vineyards, Woodbury, Merritt Estates, & Willow Creek.

Sen, I agree with your first point but the bottomline is: 1) Edwards didn't get hurt. 2) The Bills are 2-0. 3) If Peters gets hurt down the line, we've found out that the Bills don't need to panic because Walker & Chambers are more than capable of manning LT & RT, respectively. 4) The Bills are now a better team with Peters back and the O-line has gained valuable experience in his absence. 5) It's time to move forward and enjoy the ride. This team has the look and feel of something special. They seem focused, dedicated to one another, well coached, and most importantly hungry & talented. 6) Rich, you're right. Your opinion IS meaningless...just kidding big guy. 2-0 feels really good for a change, doesn't it? (BTW, I'm still not happy with you for not being at the OAK game with me this coming week) LET'S GO BILLS!!!!!

It's funny you should post this. Did anyone else watching on TV pay attention whenever they showed a crowd shot (and there were plenty)? I swear I remember thinking, "Holy fug...this is one ugly, inbred, white-trash-looking group of bandwagon rednecks." Seriously. Mullets, cheesy moustaches...awfulness personified. It was something straight out of the How-to-be-a-Trailertrash-Frontrunner handbook.

Agreed. Nicely put, EZC. I'm sure Peters will eventually get his money and I, for one, will be glad that he's locked up going into his prime. That said, I DO NOT and I mean DO NOT want to see him get his scratch before Lee Evans. Lee has approached his situation with class and has played the good soldier. Do the right thing, Buffalo, and show Evans his well deserved money. GO BILLS!!!!!

You drafted 'Houshamazzilli'?

Hey...if it helps the board, I'm all for it. Wonder if he needs a nudge off the curb... Seconded.

Grant, get well soon. You're not an ordinary, run-of-the-millbank type of poster. You're needed on this board. God bless.

All the maids, perhaps?

I guess John Kruk is SOL then when it comes to PH.

Universally...horrible.

Hiring Lou Saban...twice.

That's sexist and an insult to Lori, Cablelady, aussiew, 89, and many other outstanding members of this board belonging to the fairer sex.

I think instant evaluations of drafts are fruitless, but who were the four trolls who graded it an 'F'??? Seriously. Brilliant analysis. McKelvin & Hardy alone would prevent your conclusion. Two top-end players who fill immediate needs.

The Bills spent $75 million last season upgrading the O-line. They re-signed Whittle this year for depth and took a project with huge upside late in the draft in the form of Bell. They traded for Marcus Stroud, signed Spencer Johnson, drafted Chris Ellis, and get the benefit of an added year of experience and health for McCargo (not to mention Poz) for the D-line. I'm a proponent of building a team from the lines out, too, but is it OK to fill holes elsewhere?? Jesus H., people!

"Omon led NCAA Division II with 2,337 rushing yards (6.3 per attempt) and a whopping 37 touchdowns in 2007, in the process becoming the first back in NCAA history to run for more than 1,500 yards in four different seasons. He's not likely to wow anyone with his straight-line speed, but defenders know how tough he is to bring down."

FSU LB Geno Hayes was just selected in the 6th by Tampa Bay. All 100 have now been taken.

Cleveland just traded up with Dallas to take him. Gave up their 3rd next year! WTF??? They don't already have enough targets on offense? There's only one football to go around and last I checked they had a guy named Kellen Winslow at that position.

Good analysis...agree with all of this. Plus there's been a run on DEs in the 3rd Round. The Bills need to get more pressure off the edge and this kid can play, trust me. Now I'd like to see them get TE Martin Rucker from Missouri.

A BJ might just be the cure for what ails her...

It's called drafting for value. If the Bills have him rated higher than their highest rated TE, they probably take him. He's a steal 10 picks into the 3rd Round.

I don't think he's got the measurables to be a complete douchebag. Although he's indeed a douchebag, ESPN reached by hiring him. I had him ranked third on my douchebag board. A high profile organization like ESPN should have hired a complete douchebag. It's obvious that they just don't get what the whole douchebag-hiring process is all about.

Considering that Brady is the only Michigan QB in recent memory worth a damn on the field, I like the odds of Henne being a bust for the dulfelons.

I don't think Connor will be there but I'd love it. That said, either Tennessee TE Brad Cottam (6' 8'', 275, 4.70) or Missouri TE Martin Rucker (6' 4.5'', 249, 4.71).

What about Parrish? He went to Miami. He might not be the brightest bulb in the box but he still went to college.
