Pretty sure most of the comments about comps pick are a running joke based on some posts from a while back and, mostly, not serious.

I always see posts about how it's too bad TT was not better on the field because he was such a good teammate and good guy off the field. I suppose this could be true, and he certainly seemed to have several really close relationships with teammates, but the only thing that was more ridiculous than watching him try to play football was watching him between offensive possessions. Always sitting on the bench, mostly alone, never looking at tablets or printout of plays, never talking to coaches, always looking mad/sad, never rooting for the defense, etc. It always seemed like he'd rather be pretty much anywhere else.

I don't know how anyone can make this judgment, or say he's going to be the next stud QB, based on the limited time AJ has been on the field. Did you somehow see a ton of Cincy practices and camp reps? I say he looked just good enough when he was thrown into game action and got playoff experience for me to be curious about how he will look with first team reps and consistency. Other than that, I don't think anyone who posts on this board regularly is qualified to judge how good or not good he will be quite yet.

Stating a non-truth as a fact to support an opinion? You're right, nothing at all wrong with that.

You realize this is not true, right?

Sorry, but if Barkley is there when we pick in the 20s (NO way this happens), you take him and don't think twice about it. This dude is going to be the best back in the league for about a decade.

I remember being really not excited for the St. Louis Rams vs. New England Patriots Super Bowl. I'm not sure why, but I was already sick of St. Louis being a dominant team and hated seeing them back in the Super Bowl for the second time in three years. And, while the Patriots hate was not as strong way back then, I definitely did not want to see them in or winning a SB. Oddly enough, some of my favorite "old" football to watch now aside from Buffalo is those Greatest Show on Turf St. Louis teams. Some of the players on those teams were all time greats. I wish it was Wentz under center, but I'm still pretty excited for the Eagles actually. I hope they somehow find a way to absolutely embarrass NE. Not likely, but one can dream.

Well, I think this label could be applied to a few owners and coaches in the NFL haha

Agree. But the discussion wasn't really about if someone would be able to keep a job through all of this or if it would be realistic. The question was asking if it would be worth it. And I say, yes, it would absolutely be worth it. Your getting into the reality of the situation and asking how this would even be possible. You are absolutely right, almost impossible to justify a move like this. But would it be worth it if you did do it? Yea, it would be.

I don't know as if I agree with that. If they turn out to be a stud but you have to wait 7 years, how is that not worth it compared to guys who are no longer on the team, or perhaps never even made the team. Of course, this is all hypothetical. The fact is, Keenum was undrafted. Is it worth the money and roster spot for 6 or 7 seasons if in season 8 he lights it up and wins playoff games for you? I say yes.

In 2011 we drafted; Round 1 Marcell Dareus Round 2 Aaron Williams Round 3 Kelvin Sheppard Round 4 Da'Norris Searcy Round 4 Chris Hairston Round 5 Johnny White Round 6 Chris White Round 7 Just Rogers Round 7 Michael Jasper I would say, having a QB on the roster this year that played as well as Keenum did would be worth any one of those draft picks, considering none of them are even on the team any longer or (aside from Dareus) even making a meaningful contribution to a team in the NFL.

Exactly. Remember when we took a QB in the first round and he was awful? Stay away from first round QBs.

Kaep, because he actually can play the game at the NFL level and the only reason he isn't currently is because a bunch of conservatives have their panties in twist.

I don't completely disagree, but our 5 picks and we're still in the 3rd round. Unless it's Barkley, I'm waiting until one of our 2 fifth round picks for a RB.

How about 3 of the first 5? I'd like a big DT and a fast MLB in there somewhere.

Best of luck with the test! It's amazing to think about the amount of time between seasons and the things that can be accomplished in that time. I'm hoping it will be easier with snacking on Saturday and Sunday a lot more limited with no football on TV. I'll get back to actually being a little productive on weekends!

My life revolves around football so much I often forget there's actually most of a year between now and the start of next year. I'm always counting down to the next season, and it sometimes makes it seem as though spring and summer go by too quickly as the excitement for football and a fresh season builds. With the 2018 season set to kick off on September 6th, we have 242 days to live between now and the new season. So put the draft, OTAs, and training camp aside for the moment. What will you use the 242 days for? I hope to drop a little weight, run a Spartan race in August, and finish my dissertation and finally wrap up my Ph.D. before the next season starts. What will you use the time for? What goals do you have where you'll be able to look back and be proud of how you used your 242 days?

Can't wait for TT to not be our QB.

Just curious, is someone that's not able to watch relying on your play-by-play in this thread?

I was watching for this but didn't see it. Was it only on locally in Buffalo?

Anyone want some Flutie Flakes or Flutie Frutie snacks tonight? Would that be bad luck or good luck to eat those things?

I'm drunk and waaaaay too pumped for this game. When's kickoff? Why wait. Let's just do this thing now!

The smart move now is to name Peterman the starter.

There's likely a different thread for this, but I don't want to leave the Bills playoff thread. It feels too good. Anyway, what's the extent of Shady's injury?
