AF88Bills

goes to show you that picking more often might be better than picking THE guy everyone likes....hopefully the bills don't trade away draft picks to move up this year.

Exactly! If you think a better draft position will somehow help the Bills draft better players, then you're mistaken. This team has had plenty of opportunities in the past and they've always come through with some hair brained pick that someone at OBD will explain "we really like this player", and are not concerned about position of need or other people's draft grades. Anyone up for another WR or CB?

The Bills are a team that can't afford to trade up. The draft is about estimating odds and placing bets. The Patsies are one of the best drafting teams because they place a lot of low risk bets with their draft picks. This team needs every draft pick it has in order to eventually make a competitive team again

This goes to show how good he is...if he can stand out while absorbing double teams due to the lack of other threats on the Bills, how would he do on a team where teams can't focus on him because of other superstars. The fact that he plays for a losing, irrelevant BB team means he'll never get the recognition he deserves.

Disagree. The Bills need some confidence and momentum going into the offseason. The Bills drafting is more about getting the right player...not about having the higher draft position to pick some player Modrak likes despite the obvious reach.

This is key. The bills woes at running back have less to do with the runner, and more to do with the o-line. you see it every year in the NFL. Take NE's Danny Woodhead. Put that guy on the Bills and Bill's fans would be fussing about him too. He wouldn't do squat with the line Buffalo has.

his partner, Ayodele (sp?) stinks too. They all seem to be out of position on run plays, getting eatin alive by blockers...take a look at the touchdown run by Mendenhall, you see what I'm talking about. I used to point the finger at the D-line, but our guys are consistently getting exposed and always seem to be a couple of steps behind.

maybe the release simply means Wrotto can get them thru the season and into the draft where they'll target a tackle.....

The O-line has looked markedly better, but still . allows too many hits to Fitz. Also, they need to be able to grind it out on the ground. I think we're so conditioned to seeing a bad O-line that an average performance looks better than it should. The Bills at least need a tackle, some more quality depth, and time for the unit to grow.

I'm surprised you don't hear a lot of clamoring about the o-line anymore.....I think tackle is still a position of need for us.

Not that I'm saying he's in their league, but one reason Brady and Manning are so good is because of the continuity they have...think what it would be like to have the same O-coordinator and QB for more than one year...

I'll be the first to admit that Fitz is not Peyton manning...BUT, how frustrating is it to see cutler have 6+ seconds to throw...or to have Bell and Howard getting little to no push on the line.

how much of his inaccuracy is due to having people in his grill? Despite the improvements, I think the team's O-line is terrible and needs to be improved.

I think today was another example of how we've got some solid building blocks for the future. Today Fitz showed how he's a solid QB that can carry this franchise into the future with a few additional pieces. I believe he's also to keep getting better with more game experience because of the continuity with Gailey. I would argue that the Bills have a solid complement of skill players, but have neglected the trenches for too long. If I had my druthers, I'd look to the highest rated tackle next year, or D-Lineman with their first round pick. Thoughts?

Without looking it up, I'd venture to say that McCargo's been inactive more than the alternative.

As much as I hate to say it, but the Cowboys don't compare to the Bills....Jones expects to win and goes after it. As can be seen in their pursuit of quality personnel. The results may not show it this year, but at least they've been in the conversation. Wilson says he wants to win then allows 10+ years of questionable decisions to materialize.

2 points: 1. Donte plays with heart, but he's at a mismatch defending 6-5 tight ends. He's 5-10...by no means is he a great player, but I think he deserves more credit than most people give him because of his passion, and willingness to mix it up. As a DB he should not have as many tackles as he does. 2. Where are our LB's? They have not made an impact all year. This team is sorely lackng the ability to generate a pass rush and put pressure n the QB...this pressure is what generated all the INTs last yr...

LOL! I love the creative juices on this board..

did he look better than Marcus Easley?

I was stationed in Germany for 3 yrs and probably gained 20 lbs drinking the German beer. The heffeweizen in unreal. The best stuff actually has wheet sediment you have swirl around when pouring. There was Heffe-weizen, Crystal-weizen (lighter), Dunkel-wiezen (heavey), and Dobble Dunkel-weizen (really heavey).

I go for a good ol budweiser or a Corona....I live in the panhandle of FL so I like to keep it crisp and light . Every now and then I'll get some Abita Turbodog.

Roscoe never got on the field because the DJ was more concerned about having a good blocker on the field than gamebreaker. I never understood the infatuation with Josh Reed, because he's oa major reason why this offense wasn't going anywhere....he was a typical DJ player....hardworking, but marginally skilled.

I think the important theme to what Gailey will bring is is creativity, and flexiblity. We have good talent on the offense. it's just been lost to poor offensive line play (and lack of talent at LT), and also unimaginative offensive strategy.

I think he had pit bulls....some home owner's associations don't let you have pit bulls.

I'd love that pick
