  1. Perhaps instead, the Pat's would like to trade up to #3 (ahead of Cincinnati and Cleveland presumably) to select A.J. Green. They certainly have the draft picks to make the move, but it would likely take both of their 1st rounders (17 & 25) and likely a 2nd rounder (33) to do it :devil:

     

    Having 17, 25, 33, & 34 would be pretty awesome!!

     

    Imagine the possibilities...

     

    17. Cam Jordan/JJ Watt

     

    25. Gabe Carimi

     

    33. Akeem Ayers

     

    34. Martez Wilson

    Imagine there's no countries

    It isn't hard to do

    Nothing to kill or die for

    And no religion too...

     

    Do they ever say you're a dreamer Hammersticks?

  2. Please stop with this it's about the fans nonsense. The money comes from TV and TV alone. That money comes from huge corporations buying advertising funnelled through Madison Ave. To the NFL, you are a more important fan if you stay home and watch the game instead of showing up at the stadium.

    BTW you do realize the owners are billionaires. The minimum wage guy should side with them? Me thinks you are a Tea Bagger.

    Do you think the TV money would be there if not for the massive fan base? You, sir, are a moron. :oops:

     

    I wonder who watches teh TV?

     

    And the Billionaires are still billionaires without football.

     

    I think there is a stat that the average NFL player is dead broke 3 years after retirement. Thats a disgrace. No wonder they want more money - and no wonder why the Owners dont want to give them more.

    They're broke because they can't save money, not make it. Even a 3 year career at league minimum will get you nearly a million dollars. How many years does it take the average fan to make that?

  3. Paul Allen owns one of the Big Euro soccer teams doesn't he?

     

    Good question because there are a few NHL/NBA owners but I can't think of an NFL/NBA or MLB or NHL owner.

     

    If Pegula can talk some sense to the owners to settle the labor dispute than get him an ownership.

    Paul Allen owns the Portland Trailblazers and the Seahawks, as well as a MLS team (Seattle Sounders FC).

    Nevermind, someone just posted this. :wallbash:

  4. Your forgetting, though, that a pick in the future is worth less than one in the present. Who knows what it will be, it could be #32, it could be #1. Based on the last couple years, a second round pick this year is worth a first next year, a third this year is worth a second next year, etc.

     

    That means that #3 for #7, #76, and a first round next year is actually pretty accurate.

    Well, if that trade is ever put on the table, I say we don't hesitate to pull the trigger for even one second. It just sounds ridiculously one sided to me. They move from #7 to #3...we go from #3 to #7...PLUS a 3rd rounder this year...PLUS a 1st rounder next year. Wow. I know this is all hypothetical and I'm taking it literally, but what sounds a bit more fair would be swap 1st rounders this year and we get their 2nd and 3rd this year. (That would put values at 2200 for us and 2160 for SF).

     

    Our 2011 draft picks for 1st 4 rounds would look like this...

    Rd 1 #7

    Rd 2 #34

    Rd 2 #45

    Rd 3 #68

    Rd 3 #76

    Rd 4 #99

     

    That's 6 picks in the first 100...very NE-like. :thumbsup:

  5. This!

     

    And I would like to see Buffalo trade down and still get defensive help.

    I'm thinking San Francisco.

    San Fran moves up to the 3 spot to ensure the draft a QB, which according to all of the NFL pundits is the biggest need for them.

     

    To San Fransisco

    (1st round) #3 overall pick 2011

     

    To Buffalo

    (1st round) #7 overall pick 2011

    (3rd round) #76 overall pick 2011

    (1st round) San Fransisco's 1st round selection 2012 pick

     

    This is reasonable to move up and grab a QB (which ever one SF wants), it also gives Buffalo that second 1st round pick in 2012, if you want Luck in the 2012 draft, Buffalo is going to need two 1st round picks and then some to move up to the first overall selection.

     

    I project San Fransisco and Buffalo to both be in the top 15 of the 2012 draft. So you offer those 2 picks and maybe a couple of 3rd rounders or a 2nd rounder and get Luck at first overall. Just my opinion though.

    I would have to say not a chance in hell does SF give up that much to move up 4 spots. Especially for the quality of QBs available. I know there is a numerical points system associated with draft picks, and I would love to see how lopsided that trade would be. If they would be stupid enough to do it, you take that trade any day of the week.

    Here's a point system I found, not sure if it's accurate or not.

     

    According to this, our #3 is worth 2200 points

     

    SFs #7 is 1500, #76 is 210, and let's say we get next year's #16 (putting it right in the middle of the first round) it's 1000...that's a value of 2710.

     

    That's a 510 point difference in the trade...which is the value of a 39th overall selection. Sounds like wishful thinking to me.

  6. Who wants a guy that (a) has been away from the game that long (b) is that old and © publicly questioned the leadership abilities of his team's franchise QB soon after initially retiring (and just missed out on wearing a SB ring in which that QB had a big hand in?)? I really hope he goes forward with this and ruptures his achilles tendon or disinigrates his knee on the first day of training camp. And no, I usually don't wish horrific injuries to people, but in this case I'll make an exception.

  7. The Bills are the only reason I care about the NFL. No Bills and the NFL no longer exists to me.

     

    PTR

    I am 100% with you on this. My brother (a Lions fan) was joking with me one time about if the Bills were to leave Buffalo if I would start rooting for Detroit. It really put it in perspective for me...I am a BILLS fan, not an NFL fan. I could care less what happens to the game if Buffalo were no longer in the picture. My fall Sundays would probably become productive. :oops:

  8. AFC-1.Baltimore

    2.NY Jets

    3.Oakland

    4.Houston

    5.Jacksonville

    6.Buffalo

     

    Buffalo upsets Oakland in WC round....Texans get past Jags

    Divisional round Buffalo's Fitzpatrick again torches Ravens D and they don't get screwed in OT again...The Jets make their 3rd straight AFC title game over Houston.

    AFC Championship The Jets stake their claim as the Eagles of the 2010's by succombing to the surprising upstart Buffalo Bills, who look to become the 2nd straight 6 seed to win the SB.

     

    NFC-1.St. Louis

    2.Dallas

    3.Green Bay

    4.Tampa Bay

    5.New Orleans

    6.Detroit

     

    Detroit shocks the Pack behind the healed shoulder of Stafford and the dominance of Suh...The Saints again lay a 1st round egg vs TB.

    Divisionals...The Stafford vs Bradford battle is won by the Lions....Josh Freeman leads the Bucs over the Boys.

     

    NFC Championship-Detroit beats TB in OT to get to their first ever SB.

     

    And...drum roll please...the BUFFALO BILLS celebrate the city's first SB title in grand fashion by humiliating the Lions 41-13 and the Amish Rifle is going to Disney World.

     

    And yes I am a homer. I also thought this would be much more fun than the usual NE/Ind/SD/Bal/Pit crap that I'm sure will flood the gates here.

     

    GO BILLS!!!!

  9. If the PED testing requirement is dropped in whatever comes out of a new CBA, expect Congress to start making overtures, just as they did in baseball.

     

    And they'd be right, to prevent 100,000 present and former players with roid-rage/TBI and millions of high-school/college minions doing the same. Even with the relatively little we know so far, it presents too serious a risk to the broader populace to let it go unfettered.

    I think he's saying players are gonna juice during the lockout itself, not if the new CBA has no PED testing included in it (which I think has a 0% chance of happening).

  10. I strongly doubt that. This is one game.

    Missouri did the same thing to him. Put speed on him and he's in serious trouble. His tech is atrocious, he stands straight up on pass protection.

     

    I'm sure there are more than one O-line coach who believe they can fix him. I'm not so sure.

    Wow...I hadn't seen any of him at all...if that's what he is I want nothing to do with him.

  11. I'm not real sure if it's officially classified as his "rookie" season, but he didn't play the year he was drafted because of a blown out knee suffered in college and Willis McGahee's first season was quite explosive, considering he didn't even start getting decent playing time until the 5th game that year.

     

    7 100+ yard games

     

    1,128 rush yards 13 rush TDs

     

    A 6 game win streak and the closest we have been to the playoffs the entire decade.

  12. I was thrilled when we drafted Lee Evans. I had caught a few Wisconsin games that year including a game in which he caught 5 TD passes and had like 250 yards recieving (believe it was against Mich St) and really liked him before we drafted him.

     

    The worst feeling I've had was when we traded up to draft JP Losman and when we drafted Whitner. The Losman pick didn't sit well with me only because of an interview I saw of him on NFL Network a few weeks before the draft (he seemed way too cocky and sounded like Mike Tyson...I know, my reasoning was awful) and really wanted Big Ben before the Squealers snapped him up (I didn't know he was a mega-douche yet).

     

    The Whitner pick sickened me because I was absolutely certain we were going to take Haloti Ngata (who I was totally convinced was a stud...turned out to be true...one of the few times in life I was correct).
