  1. Trade up. All it takes is some ba--s. We trade our number 1 draft picks a few years afterwards any ways. Lets reverse the trend and give them up now. Same difference, who knows we might get more for them than a future 4th round draft pick down the line and think of all the money we would save! Make an offer they can not refuse within reason.
  2. Yeah I agree. Did you see the way he threw that ball in the second half? His playing skills have diminished over the years like you said. Hey, What number was he wearing this Sunday?
  3. If he does that the only thing he needs to start is an updated resume for his next job! Great guy, good football mind but very hard headed. That trait had ticket holders at Georgia Tech calling for his head. He needs a quarterback one he can groom and who will generate ticket sales. If he doesn't he and Nix could be gone by the end of next season. I hope he has learned from his past coaching mistakes. I just don't see ticket sales jumping next year with out a possible young franchise quarter back on the roster next season. If Fitz gets hurt next season I don't see a back up plan in place. Franchise quarterback = ticket sales = job security in the NFL. Kind of simple when thing about it.
  4. This years and next years number 1 pick along with Fred Jackson. I love Freddie but I'D do this deal in a heartbeat. Okay I'll throw in the extra pick we have in the latter round this year also. Boys we got ourselves a real quarterback finally to groom.
  5. Very good point on the offensive line! Draft a quarterback or two and spend the rest of the draft on defense. I remember the JETS drafting 2 quarterbacks a few years back. Ok I lied, it wasn't a few years back. It was 65 I believe. One won the Heisman Trophy, Johnny Huarte was his name and the other was a loud mouth kid from Alabama named Namath. Four years later one of them had the audacity to predict a Super Bowl win. MY point, if you need a position or positions go for it and don't play around! This not rocket science. Yes it is sometimes hit and miss but if you double up you can improve your chances. Oh by the way the JETS haven't tried that formula since then and haven't been to super bowl either, just a coincidence I bet. PS......... This formula can apply to any position. Just an idea for Buddy and Company.
  6. Truth be told, say what you want about the guy, but Ralph Wilson has never had a problem firing anyone who does or does not perform. I expect a shake up. If they don't quit or resign, they will be fired. You can call him a lot of things guys but the "old man ain't afraid" to much Buffalonian has rubbed off on him over the years. From Lou Saban to Dickey J the man is not afraid to pull the trigger on anyone regardless of their contracts. If he wasn't the owner of the Bills he would probably be in asked to join the Mafia as a hit man! Been around the man a long time, You can call him cheap, dumb, senile, but afraid to let some one go I'm sorry thats a big NO. "Scared" is not in his his vocabulary. A shake is going to happen. When he flies them to his house in Detroit, well you guys know the rest of how the story goes!
  7. I like the way RG3 spins that ball and I'm not alone on this, he has one of the best spirals I have ever seen. It seems almost that the ball never wobbles regardless of the type of throw he makes. Very accurate passer and makes very few mistakes we have to consider this along with the supporting cast he works with. Blackmon reminds me a little of Dez Bryant without all the off the field mental baggage. Luck is a no brainer a skilled player who was reading defenses at 10 years old. I would trade up make " an offer you can not refuse" sorry Godfather to get either one of these quarterbacks especially in light of our prior 1st round track record. Lets face it boys and girls we've have had some real boners when it comes to first round picks. Another one won't hurt we should be all immune to this stuff by now. Before the Fitzpatrick fans jump on me. I like Fitz a lot. But... God forbid if we are in a position to make a run next year and the guy breaks an arm. We are back to square one. Do we piece meal that position together to make a run for the play offs "playoffs what playoffs" with an old vet or do we have some one our roster who may be our quarterback of the future to fill tis role and learn from it. A Competition at quarterback or any position is a good thing. Pull the trigger get the quarterback of the future in the first round and draft mostly defense. Find a free agent wide out and an "O" lineman and lets move forward. Or should we use that old quote from the Chicago Cubs following "wait until next year" to make these moves?
  8. It could be a first step to get his foot in the NFL'S ownership door. Lets face it the man has enough money to buy the Bills, and build his own stadium. Understanding the players side of the business is crucial when owning any sports franchise. The timing of this purchase is very interesting. I for one hope he does buy the Bills, can you imagine the possibilities for the franchise if that should happen.
  9. If you were the Bills front office would you take either of the following quarterbacks if available in the first round of 2012 to groom behind Fitzpatrick for the team's future, Matt Barkley USC, Landry Jones Oklahoma, we are assuming Oliver Luck is gone or would you go defense with the first pick?
  10. AS far as the kid being "cocky" maybe so, his uncle was described that way when he first arrived in Buffalo. I remember that time very well.
  11. Lets move on and forget this stupid redneck's comment and his mentality. As a Vietnam war veteran I served under a number of Commanders some I liked and others I did not, but I never belittled any one of them or fellow Americans by comparing any of them to Hitler. What a JACK ASS! He shouldn't be fired he should just quit I'd have a little more respect for him if he did!
  12. Are you on crack or how about just saying no to drugs. To say he has a "weak arm" shows you no little about the man or have never seen many of his games at the college level or at training camp. Below is one of many scouting reports which are all basically all about the same in content. He will get a shot to show his skills in Gaily's style of offense. If he doesn't start it won't be because of your notion of having a weak arm. You can take that to the bank. Pros: Smith is incredibly versatile. Strong arm. Smith is 6'4", and runs close to a 4.6 second 40 yd dash. Smith is the only QB in NCAA history to pass for 8000 yards and run for 4000. When Smith got outside the pocket and was allowed to rollout he was also a very effective passer. Cons: Smith sometimes does not take enough time to let the play develop before taking off and running (Seems a guy named Vick had the same problem early in his NFL career). Also, Smith has had decision making problems in the past trying to fit passes where he needs to throw them away (I think a guy named P. Manning had this problem big time his rookie year. Overall: Smith should be drafted somewhere in the 2nd or 3rd round. If Smith gets in the right offensive system he could be a solid starting QB in the NFL.
  13. Sorry Guys, Aaron Pryor (aka The Hawk) was a the famous Boxer from Ohio years ago. Terrelle Pyror is who I was revering to. My bad. Right church wrong pew.
  14. Would you use your extra fourth round pick or maybe a 5th round pick since you have 2 fourth round picks to draft Aaron Pryor QB Ohio State in Mondays Supplemental Draft?
  15. Been watching Bills football since the days of Kemp and Gilchrist. Watched every good corner back since Butch Byrd In short have seen them all. This kid impressed me the most with his combination of size, speed, aggressiveness and toughness. I am trying to remember an interception made by any Bills corner back that was that pretty. I am sure there are a few, but its been a while since I've seen one. Did he have a few moments, for sure they all do. I must say his pass interference call was close to a horses **** close but it was a correct call. His extension leaping ability and extension was awesome but not enough to deflect the so called one pass he was burned on. Mckelvin was no where near where this kid is as a rookie as far as coverage skills are and that does include understanding defensive schemes on where he should be! Again is he there yet? No. Will he be your starting corner? Yes. Probably by week eight if not before then. Excellent pick from a winning program. Will be a starter soon write it down! From an the Old Time Bills fan, nuff said.
  16. I read Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley are still alive!. Read it in the Star!
  17. Mike Florio blasted him (Sullivan) today if you read between the lines on PFT today. The guy is a Jacka--. Sadly even out of towners are beginning to see it also. I have never said anything bad about the man until now. Let me get this straight he's not from Buffalo which is obvious by the way he whines. Came on board in 1989 from under some rock looking for a job. The guy is a joke and has embarrassed himself on numerous occasions! The Buffalo News has to be embarrassed or should be by his antics. Will be glad when Tim Graham replaces him. Oh I let that slip out! A total embarrassment for WNY to say he's a Buffalonian. Believe me guys I'm not looking for a homer! But the guy will never be a Larry Felser who is highly respected when he reports on the Bills whether in a positive or negative review. Is there a way real Buffalo Bills fans can rid the area of this knuckle head? I have a few ideas stay tuned! Been a Bills fan since there inception born and raised there, his columns of negative journalism have played out. Time to move on Jerry to where ever you came from and I think we the Buffalo fans can help you. Your reporting act has played out Jerry on the national media level! Face it fans the guys a bigger loser than the Sabres or Bills will ever be or ever have been........Nuff said!
  18. Could not agree more. It will take time to evaluate the very young talent on hand. The linebacker corp has finely got some size to it. In fact the whole defense is much larger. Competition will be exciting amongst the kids we have on defense now. I know where Nix and Chan are going with this plan, to create a very large and fast team. For those of you old enough to remember the Hank Stram KC Chiefs of yesteryear they were a large physical team even by todays standards. Bill Parcells used the same approach every where he coached. The Steelers of old and even today put an emphasis on size at most positions. Talking about the Steelers has anyone noticed how active they have been in free agency the last 6 years and the results they had! Is it a "perfect system" that Nix and Chan are building on? I don't know. But I am enjoying the ride. So sit back enjoy and and give them the time they need to put the pieces together. You might be seeing the makings of the NFL's next great defense. As far as tight ends go I would not put a lot of faith on the Bills going crazy to get another one. The "Wild Bill" offense that Gaily will incorporate relies on multiple receivers on the field which includes the backfield positions (Jackson, Spiller and Smith etc) along with multiple outside receiver sets. I have followed SEC football along with Gaily's Georgia Tech teams for a number of years having relocated to Atlanta Georgia a few years back from the Buffalo. These men are very capable and have a plan so give them the time they need, and for you naysayers you may be very surprised of the results. Patience my fellow Bills fans patience. Our time will come sooner than you think. who knows
  19. Like you I have been to the "Rockpile" more times than most. Seen all the good teams play, and bad ones also since then. You are obviously not from Buffalo like me or a real fan sir. I was born and raised there. I remember when Ralph took a chance on Buffalo and the people who lived there and put a team there. Real Buffalonians and Western New Yorkers don't cry or quit like cur dogs. They are a tough, proud breed of people who get up off the ground when knocked down regardless of how many times there butt has hit the canvas. You sir with your ability to predict the future of gloom and doom should try playing the N.Y. lottery. And if you hit you should take your money and buy a ticket to San Fran where your sucking abilities can be put to better use. When you say "we suck" speak for yourself and the lineage you come from. The Bills and their fans will be winners again someday and it won't be in another city! You see "real winners never quit and quiters never win". A quote from Mr. Herrell P.S # 73 1956. That's Public School # 73 Buffalo, New York quote for you out of towners who don't understand the people or our regions mentality. Better yet go see a training video like "Rocky" it may help you and then again maybe not. And If you are sir, by chance remotely from the Buffalo area, you are probably the loser we use to beat up and sent home crying. If we didn't we should have. "No guts, no glory" remember that you POS!
