I was tough on him. Not as much here as on other boards, but I was tough on him. He looked good today, and I really like the knee after the score.
Well done, Steven. Well done.

The Bills are not to be taken seriously. What they need to do is trade Byrd, count on people like Colin Brown, and make sure that the fans side against paying good players and for saving money, while spending $100/ticket, $10/beer, and $35/hat...then this will all turn around. It will magically happen and you will all be saved the embarrassment of being a Bills fan, and being complicit in the shitshow. Don't worry...it will happen, and remember, if you don't show up, they'll move, and you'll have nothing to hate.

This thread is classic. Unfettered love for Stevie is amazing. The guy has literally cost us wins on multiple occasions. The guy that is the #1 WR...I don't recall him every really catching a ball that he shouldn't have had. Nothing spectacular out of him, only grabbing the ones that he should. Yet, there is a ferocious defending of him every time he blows a game...which is indicative of an issue in and of itself.
The guy is a decent player, and he is a #1 on a 6 win football team. That is it. A team that wins 10 games? Not so much.
We see the consequences of letting Levitre walk. If SJ left town, he would be missing the big drop at the end of the game.

I am sick of the Bills and the fans clinging to feel good stories, I want results. Ralph has paid a ton and given Nix and Gailey a ton of room to do what is needed for this team. I feel this is the best overall talent we have had in a long time, and this is the best overall coaching staff possibly ever. We have NEVER had a DC as good as the 'stache' and I am sorry this isn't even debatable.
That said, Fitz has had plenty of time. He now has a QB coach directly working with him, full offseason, was the clear cut starter all of last year, all this offseason and will be all this season. If he doesn't make a significant improvement, he isn't going to at this stage of his career. It will be time to part ways and clean up the main position that is holding us back.
He doesn't need Brees numbers, he needs to put up a much better completion %, get the ball downfield much better and have a MUCH better TD to Int ratio and get us over the 10 win mark. If he doesn't its time to part ways.
I personally pray this guy does it, I am ready for this position to finally be settled.
Not being a man of faith, I have to ask if there is an allotment of things that you are allowed to pray for? Is this really something that you would call on your god for?
If you are sick and tired of Bills fans clinging to feel good stories, what are you going to do if they win? That will be a feel-good story, as the Bills are just a football team. It won't cure cancer, or feed children...
It is nice to see that somebody...anybody...was willing to be the grown up in the room and say that Bills fans shouldn't feel good. If there is one thing that I have noticed it is that there aren't enough negative pricks in these forums. We need more people like you to rub keep brining up that they Bills haven't been good in a long time, and that it has been one abysmal failure after another...I almost completely forgot, and was going to get excited about the prospects of competing this year. If there is anything that we don't need, it is hope, or happiness. We need to be serious and disappointed all of the time. We only have one life to live, and if you go around having fun or being happy all of the time, you are missing the point.
I do find it, at least mildly, amusing that the brave posters are willing to complain about lack of talent, bad drafts, poor coaching, blah blah blah blah, until they mention Fitz. They make it sound like he had the world handed to him when he strolled into Buffalo. I am not counting last year, when the Super Bowl was ours for the taking if only Fitz didn't screw it all up by playing through injuries, and figuring out a way to get rid of the football at a record pace...I mean when he got a clean snap that is.
I am tired of him holding us back, too, and if he doesn't do it this year, we should go back to looking for a QB, because there are a ton of them out there, and if it isn't every year that some new 22 year old wins the SB. A lot of QBs have played this game and never won, or been to a Super Bowl. There are "franchise," a term that is nonsensical to me, QBs who didn't even make the Playoffs every year, but yet if Fitz doesn't do all of that this year, he is scrap? The search for things to talk about has drug us to new lows, and the quest for something to piss and moan about even lower.
XOXO,

I don't think Byrd is looking for the interceptions from his rookie year...
I think he would love to have them, so people that obsess over them start to recognize that he is developing into one of the best safeties in the NFL. I understand that picks are sexy, but I don't understand how so many people have the impression that Byrd has taken a step back...or even not a gigantic step forward. The guys is a great player, and is probably closer to #53 on my list. I am not worried about him doing his job, and doing it well.
There was also a funny thing that happened last year...Fitz played really well...took a monster hit from London Fletcher, then lost it... I also don't understand why there is some question of Fitzy's ability. His protection fell to **** around the same time, and he had one receiver in a 5-wide that was even worth mentioning...that's not fair, Nelson was very good too, but you know what I am saying. The guy was hurt. Yes I am a homer, and I kind of like that we have a smart QB, but this should be clear to people who watched the Bills play before they pontificated on a message board. Fitz was very good...until the hit and the injury bug that hit the OL.
Freddie is a great player, but I think that sleeping on CJ would be a mistake. The guy is a special athlete, and I don't think we have any worries at that position. Our D is going to be much improved, and deeper. We will see some mistakes out of our CBs, but they are young, and that is bound to happen.
The key to this team is going to be the OL and WR. We now have some depth at OL, and if we luck out at LT we are going to surprise people. The WR thing is going to be a sticking point. We do not have a WR on the roster who can bail Fitzy out of a bad throw, and make a catch they shouldn't have. What we do have is a bunch of guys that will drop ones they should have had...even Stevie. I hope that Graham is the guy they thought he was when they picked him.
Either way, it is nice to contemplate the Bills being a good team, and not be completely rooted on a hope and a prayer. There is talent in Buffalo now, and there are good coaches. This season should be fun to watch.

1st and 2nd
Then swap 3s
Wow...that would be a sweatheart of a deal, wouldn't it? You'd have to hope that somebody was asleep at the wheel in Philly, I suppose, or that they have a Tebowner for the guy at that spot. Stranger things have happened, I guess....
-
I don't get why the Ralph has to move.
Invigorate downtown? 73,000 of your closes friends...oh yeah, and over half of this crowd is heavily intoxicated...I can just see how all the people who piss in the woods will go over when their in the city. If you think that there will be five minutes of the shennanigans that goes on in the parking lots now...please...stop, you'll only get hurt worse when you get to the Taj Mahal, and the parking lots all look like work camps, complete with new security who doesn't want to get the new place dirty, further perpetuated by their barely meeting the standard of 4 port-o-potties per 10,000 people...just enough to keep them from being sanctioned by the UN.
Same traffic situation? Impossible. There is a big lake on one side of downtown. That immediately eliminates roads coming in from all directions...and like the old proverb says "less road in...less road out." Author's Note: I don't consider the bridges a road, per se.
Roof? !@#$ that.
My biggest problem? If they build a stadium downtown, you would hope they would increase capacity, but...there again...traffic, more drunk people, terrible parking made increasingly worse. But the big problem for me would be the PSL that I would have to buy. That and I have decent seats...I don't want to get into a lottery and end up in an endzone or something. (No offense to those who sit/enjoy sitting in the endzone...we can't all like those seats, or else they'd cost a lot more)
I guess some people consider it a little ghetto that we'll park in fields, go to games in blizzards*, have continued to pile in to a dinosaur stadium in Butt !@#$ Egypt to see a painfully bad team rip us to shreds, etc, but I guess its just kind of always been that way. Geez...I don't want to get all emotional or nothin', but the Ralph's the only place that I ever seent the Bills play...they just can't tear it down, they just can't.
*For those too young to remember, in the winter time, which used to start in late August, we used to get big snow storms...other people called them blizzards, book learnt type, but they never stopped us.
-
!@#$...how did somebody not see this before? We've had Kirk Morrison sitting there unused, and it wasn't until you "and the boys" came up with that awesome nickname for Sheppard that anybody noticed.
You're damn right about this situation. I mean, Sheppard has been playing for a few weeks now, and he's not going to the Pro Bowl...let's cut bait and go with Morrison.
We should just trade all of our picks, and get aging vets like KM this season because we clearly are not going to exhibit the patience it takes to let guys develop.
This is a brilliant plan!!

This thread is right on. Doctors don't know normal people. They live in pods, and are not permitted to return to the pods with their voice boxes. Especially surgeons.
A few things are made fairly apparent in this thread:
1. There are very few of you that know any doctors
2. Probably even fewer have ever had a broken rib
That was exactly what I though happened when I saw the replay of the Fletcher hit.
On second thought, a physical limitation as a result of a huge hit he took, directly to his ribs, by an NFL linebacker is pretty far fetched. It is way more likely that when he got the contract that he just stopped caring. You can tell because everybody else on the team is healthy and playing great. It was like when he got the contract that he just didn't feel like getting over the 5 dropped passes per game.
Yeah, that makes a lot more sense.
I don't care.....I played my entire senior bball season with broken ribs
!@#$ing A, buddy! If you can play high school basketball with a broken rib, why can't somebody play a little NFL football. You are a true testament to perseverance, and an inspiration to all.
-
My favorite kind of thread. I stuck up for Marshawn constantly when he was here. A lot of the allegations against him were flawed, at best, but everybody was sure of the terrible guy he was. Now they bash the FO for the trade.
When is the Maybin thread coming? Our team has no pass rush and we gave up on 23 year old, who is a part time player and has 5 sacks.
The CJ thread will be interesting when he is running and catching balls all over the !@#$ing place for some other team, and the same posters bitching today are crying that we let him go.
This was a lot more fun when we were winning.
-
There has to be something to this...I mean they didn't ride together? Why did he say what he did?
Get your !@#$ing tin-foil hat and go wait in the bunker until we get this figured out. There is something BIG here.
-
TJ Housh/Torry Holt? Did these guys retire?
Christ...Holt is in an old-folks home.
Housh...eh...
There is a guy out there with a key to the city, and approximately 34,543,129 jerseys in WNY...I think we know what the time is.
-
Oh definitely. We should trade him...maybe package him and Fitz for 5th. If we can add Johnson and get a 4th, we should take it in a minute.
This is one of the dumbest threads I've ever seen.
DEPTH IS NOT A BAD THING TO HAVE ON A TEAM.
-
Trent didn't lack arm strength, he lacked conviction. To act like Trent had a weak arm because you didn't like him is absurd.
The order of this list is Edwards, Fitz, Flutie...
That being said: Who do you want under center when you need to drive the field and win?
As of right now, I'd still say it's a toss up, and Edwards isn't at the party. Fitz is a smarter QB than Flutie, but Flutie was just so !@#$ing lucky.
-
It is crazy how many there are, and when you see them lined up here...it is amazing I keep buying tickets!!
The disintegration of Trent Edwards, with Jauron as HC was almost my breaking point. The Cleveland game, 6-3 was the worst game I have ever watched. It wasn't the most painful, because there was no high to crash down from. MNF v. Pats was bad, but ended up being a non-factor.
The Home Run Throwback had to be the worst. I was telling anybody that would listen...and still do if I get baited in...that we could have won the Super Bowl. Flutie was so fun to watch, and had a bigger heart than maybe any other player I've ever seen. He was never supposed to be good...it's almost like Freddie now; he's not supposed to be good, but he is, but that isn't enough to convince people. Either way, our D was strong as hell, and the competition was not that stiff. The Rams were good, but we always owned Faulk, and I wasn't sold on Warner.
Too many games to keep listing, so I'll stop, but I will say the Super Bowls were hard, but we were the best team in the league, I felt, the first two. The Cowboys were better by the time we met them. I was young, and I never would have imagined we wouldn't have just kept going.
Go Bills...let's rock the Ralph this weekend!!
-
This is causing a lot of commotion over nothing.
It never could happen, so when you take into the fact that we live in the real world, I will receive more joy when Fitz beats Brady in week 3, than I would getting a player that I have watched destroy us for the last decade. I have loved to not like Tom Brady. I guess it has been a direct result of the Bills not playing well, but I want the Bills to beat the Pats* with Brady and Bellicheat there. I would love to take both games from them...
If loving Fitz is wrong, I don't want to be right.
-
I made it a couple of pages... The one guy said that Fitzy had some a couple good preseason games dinking and dunking... he had one, and he threw for two hundred yards with a 70 bomb to Johnson...at least they are an informed bunch!
As much as I can't stand the whiney !@#$ Bills fans, they all have a very redeeming quality; they are Bills fans. !@#$ the Chiefs! Go Bills!!

Sully is what happens when the people that are supposed to cover the team have no access. Seriously, he is the most negative !@#$ around. He has not real insight, only refried ****.
The other issue with Sully is that he's been around so long, that others in the area look to him as an inspiration. Schopp is a good example. He has Sully on and they get all snarky together, and trash the Bills. This is why there will never be a change in he media, and the fans that read/listen to their ****. If you are smart enough to think for yourself, you don't need Jerry or anybody else to tell you it's been a rough going.
If this team starts to turn it around, Sully will be hoping for them to screw up, because that is where he gets his enjoyment. He is a negative prick, and he wants everybody else to be a negative prick.
To be "doom and gloom" about your football team has nothing to do with being a realist. I know that hurts a few asses around here, but it is the fact. It is crazy to think that being a negative, miserable prick over a game makes you some sort of realist. This is a game for entertainment, and if you can't enjoy it, then you should stop watching. People like Sully at least get paid for their reaction, which is unbelievable, because if I owned the Buffalo News, I want a guy that doesn't offend everybody he talks to. I would like some analysis that I couldn't predict every !@#$ing week. I would want a guy that I would be proud to have sit in an interview with coaches, players, owners etc, not some pencil dick who screams at the starting goalie of my hockey team after a demoralizing loss, and can't understand that was a dickhead move....not some guy that the Bills might as well not even allow on the property.
Sully is looking for shock and awe, because he has nothing else.
-
Agreed, it would mean a lower draft pick and we can't have that here.
No...hold on...this is a great idea. Lose for the draft!! Then we can add one good player per year, and we'll magically become a beacon for FA's and we'll be able to retain any talent we do have because they will love playing on a losing team that supports losing so it can get a high draft pick.
People's draft fetishes are pathetic.
-
If loving Fitz is wrong...I don't want to be right.
I have the last year's blue Fitzy, as well as a new home and away. I also happen to have a ton of jerseys, but when gameday comes I grab #14. Do you like Fitz? Then who gives a !@#$ what anybody else says.
There are a lot of people that pine all day about how bad the Bills are and how they can't take it. I can't wait for the fist dickhead that has never been in the Ralph to chime in with his brilliant idea of boycotting a game, or at least the first half. !@#$ them! They can blow it out of their ass, too.
Go Fitz, Go Bills!!
I bought one as well. I don't think Fitz is a franchise QB, but assuming he doesn't royally screw the pooch, I think he's the kind of player fans will look back on fondly years from now. Like, "Hey, remember that dude with the beard? Went to Harvard of all places, loved to chuck the ball around? Wasn't really an HoFer, but was still fun to watch? That guy was awesome."
Basically the anti-Rob Johnson! I saw a dude in an RJ jersey at the Lions game. If that guy happens to read this board; for shame, sir...for shame.
-
Point taken, but I think almost everyone could see that Stevie was a star in the making when he began in the system. He stood out in camps, preseason, etc. but DJ refused to give him a shot. As soon as he had a chance, I knew he'd succeed.
I just don't feel the same way about Donald tbh. Obviously this is based on what I've seen previously and a hunch, so I could very well be wrong.
This is revisionist history at it's finest. There were a ton of question marks around Stevie last year. He was given the job, and didn't live up to the message board hype until week 3 of the regular season.
Everybody "knew" he was going to be good. I am glad he worked out, statistically anyways. It would be nice if he could cut down on the dropped balls this year, and maybe mix in a spectacular catch here and there. He caught balls he was supposed to. I will give him he is a very good route runner, but I am not ready to put him in Canton yet.
-
So they do not want to sign better players that could make them a better team now. Instead they want to save the money now so that they can resign the key players from the 4-12 season last year? Even though if they spent the money this year on short term veteran improvements they could cut these players in the future when they needed to in order to fit under the cap? This is your logic? This theory makes the Bills front office seems so stupid that it makes you look like a "gloomer" in my opinion. LOL
I am not privy to the inner working of OBD, but I sure as hell hope you are not correct for the sake of the Bills future!
This is a good example of putting your fingers in your ears and yelling when somebody is talking to you..."LOL"
Clearly you really "get it."
The CBA has affected FA the past two years. While you would love to go out and sign everybody rated over 80 on Madden to an 8 year deal, try to listen for two seconds. The FA's the past two seasons were far fewer and two years older than in a normal year. When these players and their agents are negotiating contracts, they are looking the "the" contract of that players career. That is when you shoot for guaranteed money and length, because the player is in his prime. What also helped the FA/agent is that the supply was much smaller than normal, which drove up demand. Teams on the cusp and truly needing that player would have to pony up the extra money and length of contract.
I can promise you that the same people crying now, would be the same people crying later, when we have spent the time developing our players, and are forced to watch them walk at the end of their first deal without a chance to resign them. They would walk because we would have a bunch of old ass players that were past their prime cashing big ass checks, and we wouldn't have the flexibility to sign them back.
You might think that is crazy, but there is a team in Washington that is a perfect example of this. They sign the big FA's every year, and fall on their faces. Then they are married to aging players that are past their prime in terms of playing, but in their prime in terms of earnings.
This is what a real rebuild looks like.
-
Waters made the Pro-Bowl, again, last year. The Chiefs had a hell of a rushing attack. I don't think you can go wrong, and if you are crying to get Brown back...just dump Waters and get him. It is not like teams are lining up for Brown.
Stinch is still relatively young. I don't think we would lose by picking him up.
It is unfashionable to want FA's that you have heard of, and it is fashionable to complain about the one's you haven't. How do you win that argument? On second thought, I don't give a !@#$. I have heard of those guys because they were good football players in the NFL. I'd take my chances.
-
Had to edit. Should have never dignified this with a response. Not sure why I would get into it with someone like this in the first place. My bad.
Thank you. I was waiting for this.
I guess I would rather hear from somebody with the facts, as opposed to somebody without. The problem with the Bills is the size of the town, and the fact that everybody thinks they have the inside track, when it couldn't be clearer that nobody has any idea. When you read the local media, they are venomous in their attacks...which I always take as their reaction to feeling disrespected by the lack of access they get.
It shows in print, on radio, and in message boards.
The most important advice I was ever given was "You're not that important." I won't say I was able to comprehend that right away, but when I did, it was a valuable lesson. I don't think "jw" will be able to believe you may have spelled his name wrong accidentally...don't you know who he is?
Buffalo Bills = Glass Joe

I'd have taken a Von Kaiser...to be Glass Joe is humiliating.
