bills in va

You may be right, I don't know how involved Ralph is with personnel decisions. Does he have a say in who we pick #1? Good question but your may be right he probably is home in Detroit counting his money and the days until his next good BM.

Got me mixed up with somebody else. Yes I did campain for Bulaga but never mentioned Dan Willams anywhere. Yeah I don't like it, but after 35 years as a die hard fan I've earned the right to think and say whatever I want. You don't like that, quit reading my posts.

+1 give me the one they cut and he is instantly our #1 QB. In all the years after Kelly it may take a teams cast off to find our next QB. Unfortunately Sage put up some huge numbers last week (310 yrds, 3 TD) so I doubt he's gone but Jackson may be a perfect fit with his mobility behind our great oline.

Ok let's use your logic and the proverbial "can't do it all in 1 year" excuse. You say (and I would agree) that we needed to get better in the following areas: QB, LT, RT, WR, TE, DL, LB. So with the #9 pick we take RB? When we have 2 starters already and Bell and the kid from Indy (who both look good). So w/o Spiller we were set at RB, do I have to name all the players at the positions you mentioned we passed on in round 1? I really don't want to hear about value either because value IS determined by team needs. What's valuable to one team is not necessarily valuable to the next. Spiller may have been valuable to the Texans but not to us. And if you don't like to be insulted back stop the delusional and drugs references to those who share a different opinion. This isn't a fact board, it's an opinion board so neither of us is wrong or right, just see things very different.

McCargo looked good..there I said it. He looked very strong. I think if he makes the team he can be used when we throw out our 4-3 front. I don't think he beats out Johnson, Carrington for a roster spot though. Maybin still looked like he's got no ass behind him, he's appears too weak, but he's fast. Maybins sack was against a 4th stringer who won't make the team, against Trent Williams he was irrelevant. I posted a positive thread about Levitre yesterday because I'm pretty negative after 10 years and need to find the good, even 1 play, when I can. Yes they both had a sack and that was great, but against the 1st teamers it's a different story.

Problem is they've had 10 years to PLUG HOLES and we now have more holes than a block of swiss cheese. How many times am I gonna hear "can't be done in a year" or "takes 2-3 years for a rebuild to come together" or "I have a wait and see attitude" or "it's only the first pre/reg/season game, first year, second year etc" or "there was no good free agents or draft picks where we picked anyway" ,so lets get another RB when we have 2 starters. As long as Ralph has fans like you who make excuses for the terrible decisions made by HIS staff year after year he's got no reason to change the way he runs the team. False hope, marketing gimmicks are provided by OBD each year and the lemmings continue to jump over the cliff.

I'd like to see exactly what this opinion is based upon. I'll say it again: Kirk Chambers or Flozell Adams? Since out tackles are injury prone and stink once in the game, Kirk ends up with tons of PT. We could still go after Marcus Mcneil a probowl LT, didn't go after Jamal Brown who looked pretty good Friday. My point is we did NOTHING except get Cornholed.

Have you been folowing Flozell in Pitt? He came into camp late as he was a late sign and then missed some practice with a minor injury. He played a few series in preseason and didn't look great, but as good as any Bill so far either. I bet you that once the regular season starts he will be at least average which is more than anything we can hope for with our worthless bunch of tackles. He could have started at right tackle or been quality depth at either position. I guess you'd rather see Kirk Chamber instead of Flozell Adams!

The quote was from yesterday in response to a question as to why Trent didn't throw downfield Friday night against the Skins.

I was just waiting for this excuse. I knew it was coming and now that he said it confirms my belief that Nix seriously screwed up this offseason by not addressing the O-Line. Gailey says in an article from Chris Brown yesterday that: a QB can't throw downfield while he's scrambling for his life or lying on his back, we got to protect better (paraphrasing). They are already using the poor oline as an excuse for Trent's failure to throw past 4 yards. I know we played w/o some starters on the oline Friday night but doubt Cornhole Green would do much better. The fact that Nix did nothing to shore up our oline this past offseason will kill this team, something I've been saying since the draft ended . The Bills have alot of money to spend, no cap, no Schobel, small payroll; would it kill them to bring in a Flozell-Jamal Brown-Marcus Mcneil etc. Damit Ralph spend some money and get us some NFL tackles! Nix get out of bed before noon, put down the Metamucil, pick up the rotary dial phone and do something-Oh Yeah it's too late for this year so go back to bed.

FACE IT! Gailey is good with Trent, Fitz and Brohm...in that order. He was fine with it all off season, that's why they brought in nobody. I think it sucks as I've been watching Trent for 3 full years and Fitz for 2. It is a hard pill to swallow but Coach Chan thinks Trent can do the job. It will take a complete debacle to change his mind. You are just a wishful thinker if you think the depth chart will change at QB prior to the season. EVERYTHING Coach has said supports his current QB's, in the current pecking order. WE ARE STUCK WITH QB-CRAP THIS YEAR!

Wrong on many counts. Was Pat Williams drafted by the vikings? Did New England draft Addalis Thomas? Did San Diego draft Josh Reed? Did Pittsburg draft Flozell?

Why do the BILLS continue to draft players and ask them to play a position they've never played? Harris, Moats, Batten These players had stellar carreers. I watched Moats play an hour down the road at JMU and he was a beast, unstoppable as a DE. Then the BILLS draft him and ask him to play ILB, a position he's never played and people on this board rip him a new one. Arthur Moats is an athletic freak, you don't know what your talking about. He did seem lost in space but its his first game at LB: IN THE NFL! Cut him a break, it's the BILLS fault for not using his strengths and putting him in a position to fail. Why not draft Spiller and ask him to play Center, basically the same thing, he doesn't know how and it's not his fault.

How do you get sacked or hurried when you throw the ball 5 yards downfield? I don't know what you were watching but from my point of view the line couldn't give him enough time to even look downfield. We can debate about the oline, QB, pass rush all we want but the truth is it all needs major improvements in personnel.

I was at the game Friday night against the Redkins. There was 1 payer who stood out and had the best block of the game for either team. Andy Levtire was left 1 on 1 against Albert Haynesworth, the highest paid D-Lineman in the NFL (last I checked). It was a passing play and Haynesworth knew it and came straight ahead with a massive bull rush.Young alligator armed Levitre had perfect technique, got his arms into Haynesworths body, kept his feet moving and held his block until the pass was gone. Now he was driven back, but unlike last year he was pushed into the QB, it didn't effect the play and he did his job even though giving up 30-40 pounds agaisnt the probowl DT. Right now I am sooo negative when it comes to the BILLS, I know they suck. But I don't want his play to be lost in the ton of crap that's the rest of the team and all the negativity that comes with it. It can be very hard to watch this team and find terrfic plays and players, but that play on Friday night should not go unnoticed.

If you want to beat somebody up go after Ralph Wilson for putting this pitiful product out for our consumption. Being a Bills fan is like eating a whole tube of Chinese toothpaste every day for 10 years!

9-7 ? I give you credit for being an eternal optimist. Or are you just stubborn, stupid, or sadistic? I had to golf with my BILLS golf bag Sunday in DC and took a beating, although most people were just showing sympathy and pity on me for being a BILLS fan. You can't be serious 9-7, give me a hit of that stuff you're smokin'

It doesn't matter what he did against the 4th string tackle. Against trent williams, a rookie, he was a non factor, unless you throw in the penalty that cost us a TD. You cannot possibly count that sack against the water boy.

He got a sack against a 4th string RFA who will not be on the team next week. When Maybe went against Trent Williams he was irrelevant! You Maybe apologists crack me up. He gets a sack against the water boy and you think he's the next Bruce Smith. He was a number 1 draft pick, can't play against the run and gets blown up by 1st team tackles. Yeah I was there in section 122 row 16 seat 5 to watch him get his little ass handed to him.

The bills will take a 1 year wonder, situational pass rusher with the first pick in the draft. Oh yeah they already did that with Maybe. Who drafted Kelly, Bruce, Wolford? Get tht guy back to run our draft.

That Spin move was against an undrafted RFA who is 4th on the depth chart. When he played against Trent Williams he was mauled, manhandled like a little school girl against a gorilla. I was there, watching him play and was very disappointed that he looked to be weak, small, took bad angles. He did have a great penalty on 3rd-3 that cost us a touchdown. I would take any of the guys off that list instead ofMaybe.

You have to be kidding me. Nix F'd up the team by not addressing the OL, QB, WR positions this year. Thre were plenty of free agents to help all these positions. They left the fans with vomit in their mouths this year and I have no confidence this organization knows how to fix it. Any idiot would know you can't go into the season with the worst tackles, worst QB in the NFL and be competitive. They could have had anquoin bouldin, jamal charles, jimmy clausen or mcnabb and been competitive, while they continued to rebuild, know why they didn't? MONEY-Too Cheap or too dumb, take your pick.

Taking a step backwards maybe. What exactly are you looking at? I saw every play, in person, Friday night and he got absolutely manhandled. The only time he got close to the QB was his late hit that cost us a touchdown! If Maybe isn't doing something negative then he's doing nothing at ll. He looked undersized, weak and was blocked by a rookie tackle, tight end or RB every play. I think he jumped on a pile once but that was it. He took terrible pursuit angles. MAYBE SUCKS AGAIN THIS YEAR!

What's your point? Because of an injury Nix is a genious? Bell and Simpson looked awefully good, I give him more credit for those players than Spiller at #9. Nix still did nothing for QB and OT's which would have helped us out more than another RB. Unless Spiller is the best RB in this draft class, grts OROY and plays for us into his next contract, he's still a luxury pick in my book.

How about 10 years no playoffs, terrible O-Line, inexperienced WR's, the Spiller pick, Toronto fiasco? Do you want more? Not sure what articleyou read but he sums it up pretty accurately. We Suck! Now am happy about that? Hell no. Do I love the BILLS? Hell yes. Can I read a negative media article, realize that our team has more holes than swiss cheese and not call the author names? Hell yes. People 10 YEARS NO PLAYOFFS...That fact alone should validate this authors points. If we weren't a bad team, run poorly then we would have seen the post season in my sons lifetime. Will things change? Hope so. But for now stop killing writers and posters who are negative, when the Bills prove them wrong it'll be a sunny day, but for now the weather sucks in Buffalo.
