Realistic? Who are we now, the Detroit Lions? I don't care if AJ's the second coming of Jerry Rice, we need help defensively. If they don't get the guy they want, they need to trade down and start targeting positions.

Even if he's innocent, he's still guilty of being stupid. Just another example of a privileged jock who has no social skills, because everything has been handed to him his whole life.
-
not signing incognito was stupid- why would you not want a tough, hard-nosed played on your team
So you can sign ex Kansas City Chiefs
-
If Tony Pike is available in the 3rd round, take him. No way do you pick for need. It's a reach to pick a QB 1st, 9th overall, and this team can't afford another first round bust.

I used to work w/ Dan Meyer when I lived in Buffalo, and not only is he a solid writer and stand up guy, but he knows his sports, especially baseball and football. Don't question his integrity or call him a hack, because you sound like a fool.
Dan Meyer's a Hack...there I said it. Opinions are like !@#$s. Everyone's got one, and they all stink. Who cares what Dan Meyer (who?) says?

No, teams that draft well pick stars in day two.
I'll take a sure thing for three years over your imaginary 10 yr. OT...who could just as easily be drafted at 24 anyway.
Yea, because Tom Brady was drafted so highly...Your theory doesn't wash. Keep the number 9 pick. McNabb would only be a stop gap measure, not worthy of moving down 15 spots in the first round.
-
If that happens the writings on the wall for Schobel.
Why, The Bills can't have 2 outside LB's? Your theory needs an explanation.
-
McNabb sucks. I couldn't bear to watch him throw passes into the ground for my team. Draft a QB in the second through 7th round and try to sign Vick for the short term.
-
Porter is not the same Porter from 3 or 4 years ago. He's clearly in the latter stages of his career. I'll pass.
You sign him because he's better than any other linebacker we currently have on the roster.

Agreed on the Throwbacks. Those are real football uniforms, not the kindergarten designed current version with 6 shades of blue. What color blind administrator decided they looked good in the first place? The standing red buffalo, white helmet, white pants, royal blue throwback jersey. No one complains about the Colts, Bears, Packers, 49ers, Giants or Jets uniforms, and they're all pretty much original versions that have been in use going on 50 years in most cases. They're traditional, they're not too busy looking, and they look great.

The vindictive owner should right a couple of wrongs before he fades into the sunset. Cookie Gilchrist and Lou Saban should be honored into the Bills' wall of fame. I believe that Saban has a daughter who lives in the local area and it would be fitting for her to be at such a ceremoney. Whether Cookie will or can show up for a cermony is another matter. He still should be honored because he was such a big part of the history of the Bills. The small minded owner needs to show some generosity of spirit and take the initiative on this issue.
I especially like the part about Ralph fading into the sunset....just sayin'
-
I agree about Tasker sucking. He should stick to selling ve-hichles.

Either way you win...

its amazing how people get the whole Marv as GM thing totally wrong
Marv wasnt a traditional GM. everybody knew the whole time that he was only staying two seasons, he said that up front. therefore, his job by default becomes that of a consultant - someone to come in and tell you how to run your business but does not make decisions regarding your business. thus he is judged by a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT (almost) standard than a traditional GM. he was an architect and orchestrator of the business, NOT a decision maker
the exception was the Jauron hire, which was mostly his decision. that was really the only actual decision that Ralph put in Marvs hands
that means Marv was NOT responsible for and should not be held accountable for:
- the draft selections
- the free agent signings
- the marketing decisions (ie. toronto)
for everything except the Jauron hire I give Marv an A for his work here as consultant/fake GM
for the Jauron hire i give him an F
thus his overall grade for the consulting work is at least a C+/B-
the only other thing i could fault him on is the 'network management' they put in place under him, but thats only because i used to work in mgmt and i hated that structure because you spend too much time negotiating instead of making decisions and moving. but a lot of people like that kind of mgmt by committee approach and it CAN work if done properly. so really i dont even count that criticism because its not his fault that style collapsed after he left
which brings me to his defense of Jauron:
i love Marv but i just flat out disagree that dick could have turned it around here. i would love to sit down with Marv and talk details about Jaurons tenure to see exactly what Marv saw that makes him think dick could have turned out to be a good HC cuz i sure as hell cant see it. saying Marv is just defending his decision is too simplistic an answer, Marv is not that type and he must believe what hes saying, i just dont understand what that could be
Jauron might have been a good coach Mon-Sat but from what i saw, Jaurons gameday decision were just atrocious way too often. he had an incredible knack for choosing exactly the wrong times to either go for it or punt. he also didnt hold players accountable for mistakes and thus they just kept repeating. the crowning glory was actually defending (!!) mcknumbnuts for not protecting the ball on an absolutely crucial kickoff return. Dick should have went up to mckdipshet and told him 'if you fumble i will rip your gonads out with my teeth', but instead he says 'i dont have a problem with him trying to make a play'
omfg. if thats his attitude he will NEVER EVER EVER be a good hc. i like the guy personally, hes also probably the smartest guy in the room, but if he doesnt know to hold pampered primadonnas accountable for making the stupidest mistakes inhumanly possible then he should just forget about being in charge of a team full of them
so to sum up:
- people who say Marv sucked as a GM are just completely ignorant of the reality of what that situation was
- Marv did a great job on everything except the Jauron hire, which was a failure
- Dick should never be a HC again and im glad as hell hes gone
Marv, you say, as the GM didn't have a say in draft selections or free agent signings, what makes you think he made the decision in picking the coach then? He had a say in all, and he blew it.
Marv sucked as a GM. There, I said it.

Bottom line is if these guys win, we'll all fawn over them as the second coming of JC, and if they lose we'll have a reason to complain, but as of now, we don't.

This is good news for Gailey. It allows him to evaluate his roster first hand, as opposed to cutting players based on past production. Given the quality of coaching that TE has had in Buffalo, coupled with the extraordinary carousel of an OL...it
makes sense to give the coach that chance.
It does the bills no good to throw the baby out with the wash. Might as well give a REAL coach a chance to find out if he can do anything with TE.
Funny... JP was in this very same situation. But Fassel found a way to win with him........ I'm just saying.
I suppose if JP was back in college he could probably win too. The differences between the 4 team, less than practice team quality players, 6 game season league that JP "won" in, and the NFL are night and day. JP had his chance. He hung onto the ball too long, and rarely checked down. He's not a good QB. Period. Now on to Trent Edwards. He only throws underneath the coverage, can't throw a great long ball, mis-reads defenses and misses the hot receiver, and has no fire in his belly. He's not a good QB either. Now Fitzpatrick looked ok, and with more time to throw I think he would be better. Keep him and Brohm, bring in a free agent and draft a QB somewhere in the draft. Forget about JP and TE. they're yesterdays news.

Don't forget the Chargers started in Los Angeles. They want a new stadium but aren't getting one from the taxpayers. Move them 80 miles north and call them the SoCal Chargers. Would it suck for SD fans? Sure, but at least they could still drive 90 minutes and follow their team.
PTR
You obviously never drove in SoCal if you think there's only a 90 minute commute from San Diego to LA.
-
It sounds like the "good ol' boy" network is making a comeback, in Buffalo of all places. I'm all for it. I never hurts to have knowledegable football people in your organization.
-
That's your opinion. In Ralph's opinion, maybe the right thing to do is what's best for his family. I don't have a problem with that.
Yea, God forbid his poor family has only $600,000,000 to live on rather than $800,000,000. My friggin heart bleeds for them.
-
We can all se how the Chiefs turned out last year. Maybe they should have kept Chan Gailey and gotten rid of Todd Haley.
-
And if the Bills start the next season 3-0, you'll be tuning in again. You can't just decide you're not going to be a fan anymore. It's too much a part of who you are. Ingrained in your psyche. You can swear off the team, but as soon as you watch them again you'll be rooting for them. Same with every Bills fan on this board. It's ok to be pissed. I'm pissed too, but come next September I'll have the same hope for my team to win that I had when I first became a fan.

The up side to hiring Marty, even though he's getting old, is that eventually his son could've taken over.
I must admit that if I were the owner of a team, or of a business for that matter, I wouldn't hire someone I feel uncomfortable with.
-
I would give my eye tooth to know the names of those 15 people a day who called the Bills trying to get an interview.

I wouldn't want him on my team. Gutless didn't even try playing with a brace on...but lets face it, Hanie looked better and he didn't have a weeks practice behind him.
