  1. Which also isn't that large of an age difference, in the grand scheme of things.

    I think he was 23 when he banged her ... so it's 6 years. My parents are 5 years apart. I'm going to call my dad a pervert and a sexual predator later.

  2. she's legal, and he is single and only 24 at the time. whats the big deal?

    Exactly. Would I be happy if I had a 17-year-old daughter dating a 24-year-old man? NO! But it's not a crime. If Sanchez was a Bill, there would be a lot more acceptance on this board.

  3. $432 for NFL season tickets just seems so inexpensive to me! I'm sure Jets and Giants fans (and probably quite a few others) would agree...

     

    If only Buffalo weren't so far away from BVT, I'd buy tickets in a second. If we get "good" again and I know I can sell the games I don't go to, I might pick up a couple tickets next year or the following.

     

    Congrats on the purchase - there isn't much you can spend $50 an have as much fun as a Bills game. Even when we lose the food, friends and scene is worth the price of admission!

    I hear you. I'm about a 6-hour drive away from Orchard Park. If I was halfway closer, I'd get seasons.

  4. Fairley, Dareus, Bowers. One of those three will be available. I'd be fine with any, in that order too. I'll wait until the combine to see more of Quinn as well.

     

    The only pick that I would be a little "eh" on would be AJ Green, though I realize he's an amazing talent.

    Exactly, and exactly.

  5. I love Andre, and think he does belong in the Hall of Fame. It's been sad to watch him become the "Gary Carter" of the NFL, practically begging every year to get in. I think he's going to get in either this year or next, and I really hope he does. I just wish he'd gone about the wait a little differently.

  6. You know what else wins championships for cold weather teams? Running the football successfully. Big Ben only attempted 19 passes last night, and the Packers outran the Bears.

    The Jets out ran NE, the Ravens outran the Chiefs, Pitt out ran Balt., and so on. I'm not sure, but I think that the team with the most rushing yardage won every game played in the cold in the playoffs.

    This could be us, but this franchise tends to use top draft selections on running backs, defensive backs, and various gadget players to sell tickets.

     

    When Bryce Paup and Big Ted were here, our defense was as good as just about any, but we had no blocking. The need for a good qb goes without saying. After that, cold weather teams need to be able to sustain a ground game in the elements, and of course stop their opponents from running all over them. Green Bay is in the superbowl because of Rodgers, and the fact that they clicked on front seven defensive players and offensive linemen.

    They got their scatback in round 6. We got ours with the 8th selection, and there are weak OTs in front of him. This sort of tells the story too, wouldn't you agree?

    Exactly ... running the ball and stopping the run ... that's what wins.

  7. Eh ... most, if not all, teams can make the same arguments. The only "mistakes" that stand out to me are McGahee, Lynch and Spiller. It's just my personal belief that no team should ever spend their first pick on a running back. Well, unless you already have the perfect O-line, WRs, QBs and defense in place - and we all know that wasn't the case!

  8. I think you and I are in accord? A lot of people are very uncomfortable when a very nice gentleman such as Marv Levy gets severely criticized for a job he performed. Without trying to be obnoxious anyone who thinks Levy did a good job as a GM or whatever you want to call the hollow position he had is in a fantasy world I don't live it.

    Yup, we're on the same page. And you're right ... it's hard to call a spade a spade on this board when it comes to the Bills, and not get crucified for it.

     

    I once made the mistake of pointing out what an arrogant, pompous a-hole Jim Kelly is. That went over like a fart in church.

     

    I totally respect how fans embrace "their" team, but I think we need to see things for what they are ... not for what our hearts want them to be.

     

    The one good thing about the Marv "GM" era ... it was short-lived.

     

    Look how long Detroit kept Millen around!!

  9. You need to go back and read what I have stated. There is no doubt that the owner is the source of the franchise's historical mediocrity. No one can dispute something that is so blatantly obvious.

     

    I don't know where you and I disagree with respect to Marv. Marv Levy was grossly unqualified for his fake GM position. Marv's short tenure was an unmitigated disaster which is going to take years to rectify. How can anyone disagree with something that is so apparent? Marv Levy is a wonderful person. That doesn't mean that he shouldn't be held accountable for a job that he held.

    I agree that Ralph is responsible for the historical mediocrity.

     

    As far as Marv Levy goes, I also agree that he was grossly unqualified. I agree that it was disastrous. But I also agree that he's a great guy ... and he took that position honestly thinking he could turn the team around.

     

    I trust Marv's intentions way more than Ralph Wilson's.

     

    It's kind of like Aaron Maybin ... it's not his fault he's being paid to do a job he sucks at, no matter how much he wants to be better. They picked him ... not the other way around. Same with Marv.

  10. Yeah, it is funny how your perception on that stuff changes over time.

     

    I guess my comment on this cover with Brady shows how 10 years of losing has my Pats* hate being celebrated more than my Bills love.

     

    As for the rest of the links people are posting... I should have guessed this would become a swimsuit issue thread even though I did put a disclaimer saying excluding swimsuit issues. ;)

    Ahhhh ... I missed the disclaimer, sorry!!

  11. I would if I were him.

    He is the only real every down back they have.

    Spiller is, and will probably continue to be, a situational player.

     

    Fred is in the position of strength and is not getting any younger so I would be doing the same thing in his shoes. If he makes that move I hope it works out for him.

    Couldn't agree more.

  12. I only care about who ends up in Buffalo, and to a smaller degree who ends up in the AFC East.

    It doesn't look to me like the Bills are really in the market for a DC (Wanny as a "consultant", whatever the !@#$ that means, doesn't count).

    I agree that it doesn't appear they're in the market for a DC ... but they should be. Mangini ... as much as I've never really cared for him ... will get us closer to beating the Patriots.

     

    When Lovie Smith interviewed for the Bears HC job, they had one big question ... can you beat the Packers?

     

    That's how we need to go about things. I think Chan is great and I'm glad to have him. But we had the worst defense in football. Need a change. Need to beat AFC East opponents ... especially the Pats. And Mangini knows how to beat AFC East opponents.
