Great post, LA. But remember, we post on a board full of guys who have never screwed up anything.
As for Aguilera, i give her credit for continuing to power through the song, when a lot of people would have simply stopped and completely lost it after the mistake.
It was a mistake, plain and simple. Those of you guys clamoring for getting rid of a "performance" anthem need to remember we'd have never had the Whitney anthem if that was the mantra.
I would personally forgive the mistake, if her voice wasn't so bad. She sounded terrible.

so the Director of College Scouting and the National Scout had nothing to do with the 1st pick
It was all Dick's fault
Sorry - not buying the Bills spin on all of the bad picks
The Bills blame the most recent departed official. When Marv left it was his fault. When Jauron left it was his fault. Wait until they unload on Modrak when he eventually gets canned.

Look, it's time to accept that the QB situation makes it impossible to judge the Bills receivers. Have they always been playing their best? No. But they are basically asked to run sprints whenever the Bills have the ball, because it's unlikely the ball is even gonna come out of Trents hands, no matter what the playcall. I'm sure it would be difficult for ANY player to keep their head in the game.
I agree with that 100%. Until Edwards is replaced, its impossible to say its Evans fault. I think Evans makes a better #2 then a #1, though.
-
Yup. Neither are great athletes. I was totally impressed with Flacco tonight. He handled that Jets pressure very good and made some nice tight throws to some well covered defenders.
And he has guts. He lets his WRs make plays, granted Baltimore's WRs are better than Buffalo's, but he plays with confidence, intelligence, and he's tough. Trent is intelligent, but that's it.

Garcia is a playmaker. He is good for atleast 1 TD a game
Great, so MAYBE we'll be 5-11 instead of 4-12? Garcia sucks, signing him would be a desperate move that would accomplish nothing. I respect the idea, but I do not agree with it at all.

I don't understand the Bills organization. The tackle position has been a problem forever, and we traded a Pro Bowl left tackle last year and we have the worst starting OT pair in the NFL. Do they not think OT matters? Why do they refuse to draft OTs higher then round 5?
-
I don't think either would start in any other team in the NFl.
Cornell Green is the worst OT I've ever seen play.
-
Trent sucked but are you saying we don't need Oline help?
PTR
Yeah, not to necessarily defend Trent, but Cornell Green is the worst OT I've ever seen in a Bills uniform, that includes Kirk Chambers. He was terrible, and Edwards had little time to do much. But his decision making needs to be quicker. This is what happens when you neglect the offensive tackles in the draft for 10 f'n years.

Let's see. The logic in the post is the Bills didn't take a QB in the top 10 due to contract considerations. In other words. "Ralph is cheap!"
If the poster was something other than a troll, he/she just might have noticed the only QB picked in the top half of the first round was Bradford at #1. The only other QB picked in the 1st round was Tebow, and that was a surprise to most and is being roundly criticized by many.
So, maybe it isn't a troll post. Maybe it's just a post from a moron.
Says the moron. There was nothing wrong with the original post. If you don't like it just ignore it, douche.

I have been reading in numerous places that both Vincent Jackson and McNeill are available for trade and AJ SMith is open tomoving on without them. I have a feeling the Bills will stick with what they have, as they aren't a legitimate contender this year and need their draft picks. But either one of these players would be HUGE upgrades at positions of need and could help us in the future. I don't know what it would take to get it done but I would look into it. I hope Nix, with his SD connections is looking into this long and hard. McNeill would be my preference and could be the long term solution we have been looking for at LT. Thoughts?
I'd take McNeil in a heartbeat. The Bills should be all over trying to get him. I don't want Jackson though. He's a punk and a diva, not a good combo.
-
He played well in 2006????? What? The guy has been inactive more games than active. He embodies the "healthy scratch." I really think Bill Polian was pranked when the Colts had traded for them. I don't think he even failed the physical. I think Polian found out and yelled at Marv till he agreed to take him back.
Sorry, I meant 2007. I remember a couple big plays he made. A big goal line stop against the Giants comes to mind.
-
I always thought he'd be a decent player. He played well in 2006. Maybe a change in system and coaches will do him well. Or maybe he'll get cut before/after training camp. No team would want to trade for him at this point.
-
This line hurts, considering how useless Maybin was last year:
"Oher is switching to left tackle, where he may quickly surpass Denver’s Ryan Clady(notes) and Miami’s Jake Long as the best at that spot."
-
The question is do the Jets feel Revis is the best in the game? If they do and they don't pay him someone else surely will in due time. Not to mention the locker room issues it may cause if they don't extend the guy.
Regardless, that's $12 to $15 mil they can't spend on other players. The Jets will have alot of cap money invested in just a few players, its not a good way to run a team, unless the cap is definitely gone for good.
-
I say leave it too! Is there anymore a bandwagon fan you have ever seen!
Hey AJ=
Yeah, all Blackhawks fans. Remember before they went on all their Free Agency splurges, there was no one in the stands? Not to mention Brian Campbell is on the team. Go Flyers!
-
Thank God for Billsguy for helping us poor delusional sheep see clearly. Nothing's changed at all at OBD! We'll always suck and the truthsayers that are Clayton, King and Sullivan are to be to be paid homage for their wisdom. So grab a cup at the punchbowl and hoist a toast to Billsguy and ponder the question why he isn't "Jetsguy" or "Patsguy" if our team is as pathetic as he believes.
So what you are saying is that unless you think the Bills are amazing, you are really a Jets or Patriots fan? Worst post I've ever read.
-
Apparently you haven't been paying attention to all the WR signed as free agents or drafted along with just the potential of the ones we already had . By the way , just what in the world do your links have to do with football in any way ??
So we couldn't have used Boldin? Or Antonio Bryant? What does "T Master" have to do with football?

While there is a lot of chatter out there about whether Brohm, Fitzy or Trent Edwards is the man we want at QB, my sense is that this choice is really going to have a secondary impact on whether this O improves or not over the defective DJ version of past years.
First, I think this is true because none of these 3 players really has more than a snowballs chance of becoming the QB the Bills want and need (I would rank them this way at this point-
1. Edwards actually has shown the most skill and productivity at this point making a very good start as a rookie with good accuracy, an intelligent ability to read defenses and a surprising amount of mobility and a willingness to stick in the pocket. However, he simply sucked as last season closed out as the haphazard O designed by the suddenly fired Schoenert and then managed but fatally flawed by AVP helped turn him into Trentative Edwards. Can Gailey perform the same magic on a failed Edwards that he has performed in resuscitating other failed QBs? I think Gailey actually has demonstrated he has the skills to do this, but the problem is even though I think Edwards has some good playing tools to work with, I think he has demonstrated in his short pro career (and how his college play ended) that he his simply an injury prone player. My measure of a player deserving the label injury prone is if they miss important PT 3 times to differing injuries in two seasons. With Edwards losing time his rookie year to a bad wrist, and his sophomore year to a concussion, I add this in to him missing some valuable practice time for a young QB to an unspecified (but different than his previous injuries according to reports) during pre-season.
I think Gailey might be able to pull off the trick of reviving TEs performance but in the bigger picture who cares about this if he cannot stay on the field.
2. Fitzy- demonstrated to me he is a good choice for back-up with his performance late last year. Yet, no one mistakes this Ivy-League guy who is probably a great pick to have analyzing the game from the sidelines and being a confidant and a Frank Reich level at best short-term backup to the starter as a serious long term answer at QB.
3. Brohm- probably the most credible upside and potential to become a long term answer, but he defines the idea that potential simply means you have not done anything yet. His plaudits in college appear real and he showed real signs of being a big time player for GB in the post Favre era. However, one cannot overlook that with that table set for him he got beat out as the #2 by a 7th round pick. Brohm showed he did belong here in his brief turn running a bad Bills O last year, but he has yet to demonstrate that he deserves to be considered a serious threat to be the Bills QB of the future.
I hope one of these men surprises (it could happen though I doubt it since TE has apparently worked on his body, Brohm does have the right attitude so far, and Fitzy just hangs in there amd #2 is all we expect). However, none of these men have demonstrated enough to make one feel that the answer to the Bills QB questions is not yet on this roster.
The second reason though is that there seem to be some pretty crystal clear areas where this O needs to improve in order to perform at an NFL level:
1. Run better patterns which by design create more separation-
We all noticed the lack of simple slant patterns in the Bills O last year and in addition to that the Bills need to go right up to the line in running more illegal pick plays where receivers do more crossing patterns and get in the "way" of opponents trying to do tight coverage on our WRs.
It was simply a travesty that this team had the raw speed that Evans, the demonstrated speed and open field running ability which Parrish showed on PR duty and added the HOF threat of TO and this team could not get the separation and DB threat these men would seem to easily have.
I blame the O performance not simply on poor play (though that clearly had a big role but a lot on poor route design.
2. Make better use of the RBs as recievers-
Actually going back a long ways part of the Bills problems at WR has been their inability to use the RBs productively in the pass game (there was one particular game I found particularly confusing where the Bills were actually in the playoff mix in the final game and noneother than that idiot Willis MaGahee caught a pass for a sizable game to start us off. However, the play got called back on a penalty which had little to do with the gain and the Bills O simply never seriously went to the RB pass again and lost as the O sputtered). This team used to use the RB pass as its bread and butter during the Thurman days and folks such as Marshall Faulk demonstrated this was a serious tool league wide. Yet, even with guys who showed talent receiving in college like Lynch did the Bills Os of the past few years have never made good use of this tool.
Perhaps the coming of Spiller who shows all the signs of a great 3rd down tool and is not a 3 down back signals the building of an RB pass catching threat. If we keep Lynch he can do more in this area and one of the great Jackson surprises was not only how well he ran but that even in our stiff O he is a pass catching threat. I know folks hate the check down but this is one fan who would love to see more RB touches in space out on the wings rather than rely on a smash mouth style we do not have the OL to run effectively.
3. More diverse play calling
Was I the only one who could pretty much call the Bills plays before we ran them (and sometimes even the whole series which seemed to revolve around run, run, punt as our theme.
Do not get me wrong, I think AVP is a gamer, but he looked to me in over his head in terms of playcalling that really fooled the enemy and in fact dictated the game to them. I do not expect this team, particularly with its learning at best QBs to simply run the other team out of the game. However, with a little more commitment to a spread offense rather than pretending this young OL is gonna run over everyone, using the TE as a feint or downfield rather than as a pseudo OL player, and more use of Wildcat style attacks which dictate to the D who is in and how they will set up I think this O can be more than a laughing stock.
The Bills offense last year was overly conservative. It seemed that Jauron's offensive philosophy was to try as hard as he could not to turn the ball over. With so little imagination, they were too predictable. They will regret not adding any WR help though, and not drafting a starting LT. I don't see the offense being any better with the passing game looking like it will be worse unless a WR other then Evans can emerge.

yea but ms jackson could get it too
Fred Jackson's mom looks as old as he does.

I take issue with #2. Howard Simon is quite good.
Agreed but Jeremy White makes the morning show virtually unlistenable.

listen to Cowhead and do the opposite.

Huh? Why not just trade them the pick?

Not a chance, Coors Light is garbage.
1st Round Pick for WR Wallace???

Definately not. Wallace is a good player, not worth 10th overall pick.
