  1. One of the things I didn't mention was the fact we will be running the ball a ton.....that keeps the offense on the field...our defense off...and wears down their defense.

     

    I'm in favor of the changes made, but this is a fallacy. Your offense stays on the field by getting first downs. If you run three times and don't get a first down then you haven't used up that much more time than passing for three downs.

  2. The disapproval of Jerry Sullivan is well documented on this board. I have generally supported his point-of-view because over the past ten years, he has been proven correct more often than not.

     

    This is a fallacy. He has not been proven correct. They did poorly, but if you consistently pick heads every single time and the coin comes up heads..well, his answer lined up with the result, but that doesn't make him insightful.

  3. How can ANYBODY say the rebuild is off to a great start with major questions at those two positions?

     

    Let's say Clausen was available and he was the exact same player with the exact same skillset, but he played as an OT in college. Would you draft him to be a OT or would you draft another player?

  4. I think its dumb to not at least explore trade options for a min or two. Its not like those players were going to be taken by someone else if we didnt sprint to the podium...

     

    Trades are usually done 'prior' to the team being on the clock. Most of the wait while n the clock is 'praying' or teams looking like they are talking to another team. Basically, silliness.

  5. Nix, so far, has been true to his statement that there's no point in bringing in an OT unless he can help you right away (which I read to mean start this year). Maybe he really has convinced himself that the offense was 1 player away, and that player was Spiller.

     

    Perhaps, he feels that if the player at a position of need is not the 'right' player then taking a player you don't feel will pan out is silly simply because you have a player that did not pan out?

     

    What the point of drafting a player to 'not suck' when you can start drafting players that are good?

  6. Question for the Righteous Defenders of the Bills:

     

    If every pick is such a home run, how many wins will we get next year?

     

    As for Easley, he's very much a one-year wonder, which Nix says he doesn't like. Strikes me as strictly a special-teamer unless he really surprises. With that size and speed, if he could catch or run routes, he wouldn't be there in the 4th.

     

    So what is the wunderkid that they missed out on that was still there in the 4th by the grace of god that you think they should have picked and are now upset because they did not validate your football knowledge?

  7. What I love about this draft is that next year we get to do it all over again needing an OT and also a QB. we get to repeat the process. Why take a chance on Pike or Lafoure or Campbell or Clausen or the OT from USC Brown when we can draft reach NTs and Wrs. It is obvious to me that Buddy has a different sense of what we need to build this team.

     

    Wow, sarcasm fail. If you can't do sarcasm right, then don't do it at all. Just state that you didn't like the picks and save us all from having to be embarrassed for you.
