Holy crap dude. You ask for advice EVERYONE tells you the same thing (to the tune of a way longer than necessary thread) and you ignore it! You're not done playing the game because YOU'RE STILL PLAYING THE GAME! Move on please for the love of god move on.

That series was much more boring than soccer!

Wow. Just wow. You went back 20 years and then found only 13 are still starting?! Shocking! How many players at any position are still in the league 20 years? Why would data from 20 years ago even be relevant?! I will agree that it used to be a crap shoot however if you look at the last 5 drafts there is only 1 bust (Sanchez - and that is up to debate due to the talent surrounding him) and he was on a team that went to 2 afc championship games! The science of drafting a qb (especially in the top 5) has been narrowed a bit. Even if you go back 12 years, I can count 12 qbs that are starting out of 16 - that is a 75% success rate. A highly rated/touted guy at the qb position has a tremendous success rate lately - one I would wager that is higher than most positions. The mid first round/early second round guys are the crap shoots, but don't confuse them with the premium guys. It still remains to be seen (imo) who if any are the premium picks in this draft. Add this to the fact that drafting a qb doesn't cripple a team the way it used to. The new salary structure really limits the negative impact of a poor decision and is why some feel Gabbert may be replaced this year in the draft (although he looked pretty good yesterday). All of this said, I don't think the Bills will be drafting in the top 5. Which does make their selection a crap shoot.

Colts play much better at home. That game is nowhere near a gimme. Dolphins have had our number lately and it is a prime time game which the Bills traditionally struggle (in heartbreaking ways I might add) and I agree the loss to the Titans was terrible and hurt so bad.

Played Doug Martin in my two money league teams of course - he put 43 points up in each league

why do they have to be mutually exclusive? Everyone here realizes the D sucks. Many want wanny and Mario run out of town already. I don't know where you are getting that Fitz is the only one bearing the brunt of criticism. That said the beef with Fitz is the many poor throws and dumb decisions. Watching him does not inspire confidence. He has done okay and the O has put up points and put the team in position to win - however that has much more to do with Freddie and CJ than it does with Fitz. I don't think he is anything more than a time waster qb. Also in "clutch" times Fitz is woeful. The pick against the Giants last year and the pick last week both come to mind off the top of my head. Again no one thinks Fitz is the entire problem they just don't think he is part of the solution. I will agree that LB is a way bigger need than QB but that is because we don't have any lbs that would start anywhere else in the league.

Currently the Bills have the 7th pick. Sitting in front of them are Jacksonville (1-5) Kansas City (1-5) Cleveland (1-6) Oakland (2-4) Carolina (1-5) Indianapolis (3-3) Out of this list only Carolina and Indy are "set" at qb. I would (and do) think that any of the teams picking 1-4 currently would invest in a qb. It is a possibility that Jax, Cleveland, and Oakland would stand pat with their qb situation but highly unlikely. However after the last couple of weeks the shine has come off of Geno Smith a bit so it is possible (although not probable) he could be there at 7. This should be the year for a qb I just don't know what the options are for the slot the Bills are currently in. It is certainly to high for the second tier of day 1 qbs and probably too low for the top 2 prospects.

I've been looking for a place for this stat and I suppose this thread is as good as any. 13 skill position players have had their best game against the Bills this year!

Virginia was hotter... But sure I would. Most of these I don't care if they get prosecuted but this one was 4 in a year. She's either dumb or wanted to get caught. Sounds like she was a math nerd in hs and was making up for it when she came back. Serial patterns are not good...

Lakers - because of magic too Yankees - Italian and all of my extended family is yanks fans Bills - moms family is from olean Yeah I have enjoyed many a championship but I don't think any of them will compare to the bills winning the super bowl. As an aside I use to get called a bandwagon fan all the time - until people found out I was a bills fan.., and then they just felt bad for me lol

Thanks for all the birthday wishes and happy birthday to you jayD! Buftex that sucks as I'm sure your mom was awesome (as all people born on this day are :-) Saw the piece on pti and it reminded me how lucky I am/ we are to have had Ralph. I know it hasn't always been easy or even fun but man the memories.... Go Bills!!!

To meeeeee!!! Oh alright I guess to Ralph too. I lay a ton of this franchises woes over the years at his feet but am also eternally grateful for bringing my family, friends, and I this team. So thank you and happy birthday you old coot!

I actually am refusing to watch this show for this exact reason. Flash Forward was the last straw for me. If any of these shows make it a few seasons I will get invested - if not I won't waste my time.

wow

One of my buddies always used to say "punting to danger" whenever Roscoe would be back there. This year he looked at me and said "punting to new danger?" and Leodis returned it 88 yards. Also he had an excellent pass break up this Sunday. Lovin me some McKelvin lately. I really like the swagger he brings to the field as I feel it is something that has been missing/needed more from Buffalo.

Whoa dude we already talked about this. My point and the post you referenced had nothing to do with you but the pervasive thought that he was a puss for not fighting. Who's panties are in a bunch?!

What are Yankee fans doing?!?! Don't they know if they don't show up the team might move to Los Angeles?!?!

Yeah not to rehash but I thought it was ridiculous at the time and still do. Just amazes me how people spin things to fit their perceptions. Many didn't like jones and the story fit for their point, everyone loves silva so he won't get any flack.

Baseball in April may June July or August? Me.. Playoff baseball is extremely exciting every pitch matters so much but the 162 game season? Not so much... As for your hatred of soccer I wonder have you ever watched with a rooting interest in a team? Did you follow the women's us national team when they scored a game tier in the 120th minute? It was every bit as exciting. Watching soccer without a rooting interest is boring but so is a lot of sports baseball included. So if you want to say does anyone find world cup/champions league soccer as exciting as playoff baseball then yes I do.

Just want to add this into the topic as I don't think it merits it's own thread: Silva says 'no way' to fighting Jones So is Silva "soft"? He is fighting this weekend at 205 so it wouldn't be out of the question to fight in this weight class... (Of course I don't think Silva is soft but I've noticed a severe lack of people taking aim at Silva for this in the media)

I approach the draft without paying attention to bye weeks and actually prefer to have one bad week of a lot of byes (while relying on depth) and others with no byes. I look at it like this - I'll take one "bad week" over a bunch of mediocre ones (different byes, sitting a player each week). As for the original question I think I answered it but I wouldn't make major roster moves. If there are quality pick ups to be made then by all means but don't sacrifice your team structure for one week.

I think it got vetoed because I'm at the top of my division and thought if I made the trade it must be unfair. I thought it was fair as I was giving him my 2nd round pick for his 11th and a waiver pick up. Good news is he dropped Brown this week as he is hurt (so I have a waiver claim in to get him for free) and RG3 got banged up and I would have lost had I started him. I made sure to thank everyone for vetoing the trade - which no one liked

Yeah I thought that which is why I put the defending in my op in quotes. It is a sad state of affairs. Maybe Kevin Costner will help though!

None of these coaches you are "defending" were any good. Just because they got it wrong again doesn't make Chan better or worse than those you mentioned. He is the same - not a good HC. You can do the same thing for the QB situation. They have failed repeatedly finding either one. This buying another 3 years you speak of - do you honestly think Chan can be or is a quality hc? He was average in his stop in Dallas and again at G Tech - I don't see any correlation between him being bad and the others being bad. Why does holding on to Chan somehow accelerate that timetable if his record shows otherwise.
