My neck! My back! My neck and my back!

In terms of playing style, I see very little in common. Just for starters, Fitz is way more mobile than Warner ever was and Warner had twice the arm of Fitz. And then there's the whole Jesus thing with Warner...

Tim Tebow?

Maybe not. You would be surprised at how many sports fans ask me, when I mention I'm a lifelong Bills fan, "didn't they lose like three Super Bowls in a row?". I just say, "four", and wait for the big laughs. And I don't think it should be required that you are a die-hard Bills fan to register here. Some people are just football fans looking for perspectives on the team, a good place to go for wings while they're in town for a game, etc. They aren't all trolls.

Sounds an awful lot like Poz 2.0

I think the perceived historic peak in negativity has a lot to do with the existence of message boards. The Bills have put far worse teams on the field, but most of that was before the internet era, when there was no open forum for fans to express their grief in such massive volume.

Agreed. I remember the Rochester D&C publishing a spoof on the Bears' Super Bowl Shuffle, called "The Stupor Bowl Shuffle", mocking the utter aimlessness of the Bills' franchise. Actually, the Bills have been desperately bad at many points in their history. The '90s were really a fluke for this organization.

Jettisoning Trent Edwards and Langston Walker did not, in any way, shape, or form, provide a convenient excuse for a losing season. The article was making a lot of sense up until that point!

Offer him a contract.

The Expendabills

It's not like they are playing with 10 guys on offense now that Lee is gone. Somebody is going to have to cover somebody, and somebody else will get open. Lee Evans is NOT that special.

Trent Edwards

We here talkin' 'bout practice. Practice.

Call it blasphemy if you want, but Reed is more deserving of the Hall than Jim Kelly.

Shocking development there.

On Nintendo.

Because Thigpen has done so much on gameday for the Bills?

Drury gave us the LeBron treatment. F him. He's washed up and can we please stop with this mythologizing of his magical winning powers. He won a Cup on a team with Joe Sacik, Peter Forsberg, Patrick Roy... I could have my name on the cup with teammates like that. He won the little league world series when he was 12. Fantastic. Did he bring a Cup to Buffalo? No. Can you be all winner when you score 5 points in 24 games and can't skate anymore? No. I would rather see Darcy pay Tim Connolly $25M over 5 years than bring back Drury for one game.

i like the white helmets, but everything below the neck is not doing much for me. White pants? I don't know, whatever. It's an uphill battle for the Bills. Red, white, and blue are, for lack of a better word, tacky together. And no, I don't hate freedom. I actually liked the darker blue and red they used in recent years, even if the uniforms as a whole were kind of wretched. I feel the same way about the Sabres original unis- love the logo, but the blue and gold were too "primary". I hated the slug, but actually liked the way they darkened the colors a bit.

This poll may be SLIGHTLY biased.

1. Maybin. This pick was stupid the day it happened (Orakpo!!!) and has looked worse and worse as time goes by. 2. McCargo. The fact that we traded up for him makes it especially dubious. Again, this didn't look like a very good pick at first, and turns out it wasn't. 3. McKelvin. Was a reach on draft day and this guy hasn't got the brains to make use of his all-world talent. Lots of key drops, too. 4. Lynch. Don't pick a RB in the first round unless he's Adrian Peterson. Don't pick an obvious thug in the first round, either. At least he was productive and provided some trade (and entertainment) value. 5. Spiller. Supposed to be an impact player, but how did they expect him to run circles around NFL defenders like he did in college? HM: Whitner. At least he has been a starter and team leader for a few years. I can't see putting Mike Williams on this list. Yes, he was a tremendous bust, but anybody would have made that pick in a heartbeat. The guy was an absolute monster in college and it's not Modrak's fault he couldn't follow through on Sundays. I also give a pass for Losman. He looked pretty solid and gave it his all for a good while, but just didn't have the stuff. Hardy was another pick that was too high given the risk involved, but with his size and production in college I can understand why he was taken.

Nepotism.

Yes, if only the Bills had the shovel pass at their disposal, they would have won those two Super Bowls. It's widely known that Charles Haley, as great as he was, was rendered powerless by the shovel pass. I'm glad someone else has finally joined my struggle to bring the truth to light.

I could not agree more on the painfully dull Aikman and Buck. They are the most heartless broadcast duo in football today. The only thing worse is the World Series with Buck and an even more droll and pompous Tim McCarver. I can't even watch it anymore. It's the Fox way - pandering to the lowest common denominator of humanity. I will disagree, though, that all sports announcers are this way. It's really just football and baseball that have this problem. Basketball and especially hockey still have some great personalities doing play-by-play on both the national and local level (see: Rick Jeanneret).
