And why shouldn't a player be able to "pick his own team" thru free agency? Has he not already completed the terms of his rookie contract? Didn't you get to choose your employer? If another employer offered you more money or better "perks" wouldn't you leave your employer if you felt the other emloyer's offer was superior? Why should an athlete be any different???

Let's not bring politics onto this board. The future is grim enough... Though it would be interesting to see where BOTH candidates for Gov stand on a new stadium for the Bills...

You mean like running people over with your SUV and leaving them laying in the street? You call that "a conflict of values"? So Cornell Green doesn't suck??? I haven't seen too many people defending this putrid excuse for a player...

Amen. These Kool Aid Drinkers are living in their own little world. Anyone who dares criticize the Bills for their incompetence over the last decade is labled a "hater". What a bunch of MORONS!

PRE-SEASON IS TOTALLY MEANINGLESS - ALWAYS HAS BEEN, ALWAYS WILL BE....

You people are delusional. I'll expect you on this website by Monday apologising for your blatant stupidity (and the Bills 0-3 start)

We already have at least 3 linebackers who can't cover (Poz & Mitchell & Kelsay) Why do we need another?

You are wrong. Terribly wrong. This offensive line would simply get ANY rookie QB KILLED. When are you people going to learn that you need two (2) competent tackles to play the game of football? This team has NONE. Understand, I am certainly not against drafting a franchise QB BUT 2 new decent tackles are a must... Ours plain suck...

Vick was just named the new starter in Phila....

You're delusional if you think that any rookie QB (No matter how good he may be)is gonna step in behind this porous OL and perform miracles. This team needs two bonafide OT's before they can begin to be competitive. And if you watched Finley this past week burn the Bills repeatedly you'd know that we have no linebackers that can cover either....

Thanks for the assist.... It's really criminal that we have to endure watching this abomination of a football team... And we are supposed to billieve in Buddy Nix??? AJ Smith made the decisions in S.Diego - Do we really know if he had anything to do with their success??? How do you justify not fixing either of our two critical needs (QB & OT) in favor of drafting yet another RB????

On the other hand, after his signing of Cornell Green, maybe it would be better if he slept all the way through Free Agency....

The question is - Which OT (selected after spiller) COULD START ON THIS TEAM! (Bulaga for ONE) Go back and see all the other OT's if you want to - there are ALOT that could start for the Bills! The Bills don't have one decent NFL CALIBER OT on the team right now.

So How has drafting spiller helped us? Rather than drafting an OT??? Where are you Kool Aid Drinkers Now? Do you see the folly yet of wasting a #1 draft pick on another RB when you don't have a OL than can block for him and to protect your QB? And I am supposed to billieve in Buddy Nix? Please!

A "winning ticket"??? With a 70 yr old "Rookie GM" making the pick??? That's hardly a "winning ticket" in my book. My point was that AJ Smith was making the decisions in S.Diego - NOT Buddy Nix. No one knows at this point whether we just blew a great chance at picking up a possible "Franchise QB" when we passed on Claussen in the 2nd round of this last draft. I have no trust in Buddy's skills at picking a "winning ticket" as you call it. Time will tell of course. But as far as Luck, Locker and Mallett are concerned, at this point they are no more or less a "winning ticket" than Claussen may have been. And very few QB's step right out of college and become "Franchise QB's overnight. As far as Elway(#1), Kelly(#14), and Marino(#27) are concerned, You fail to mention that Todd Blackledge(#7), Tony Eason(#15), and Kenny O'Brien(#24) were also highly thought of that season and look how they turned out... Let's not even talk about Tony Hunter(#12) whom the Bills picked before Jim Kelly.... Some "winning ticket" he turned out to be....

I am getting sick and tired of all you clowns saying "we'll get Luck, Locker, or Mallet" as if there is some kind of guarantee that these guys are all gonna turn out to be "Franchise OB's". For all we know any one or all three may turn out to be busts for all we know. So how bout going on the record and tell us doubters which of these three is gonna be a sure thing? Which of these three is gonna be a bust? The truth is No one really knows. Any one of these guys could suffer a serious season ending injury as the season is still relatively young. Claussen for example may start this week in place of Matt Moore. How will he turn out? Buddy Nix wasn't making the decisions in S.Diego. A.J. Smith was. So none of us even knows whether our 70 yr old "rookie GM" can pick a winner or not. And don't tell me that at pick #9 there were no other good players (OT) available. The Bills could have made other moves (trades or FA) to bolster our line asa well. But Buddy decided that he wasn't going to trade up or down in the draft, and his only acquisition (Cornell Green) is pathetic - Unless he was trying to guarantee that we'd suck this year to get a higher draft pick in next years draft...

The trading deadline hasn't hit yet... But it takes management willing to make some moves... No one is asking for the unreasonable here. No one is asking for the Bills to become like say the Redskins. But you cannot bu8ild thru the draft alone. You need to use judicious trades and free agency to acquire competant players. Cornell Green ain't that. And even now there are better OT's and QB's available... We could afford to part with one of our DB's for example... But first management has to care.... Or do they?

So your solution is to sit there quietly and just take it??? Nothing will change until we let management know that we are not going to just take it. Season ticket sales are down 20% for a reason. YOU sit there and "just accept it" if you like. We don't have to. We can spend time with our families or watch other teams that do care and do try. And I have better things to drink than "milk"...

Gee, wonder why it looked like last years offense... Maybe because we still have no QB or OT's on this team? Garbage in = GARBAGE OUT!!

He didn't declare them to be a "resounding success". He pointed out another organization that at least sees it's weaknesses and tries to do something about them. That's the difference! At least they try! That's a hell of alot more than one can say about the front office at OBD!

The word is not "optimistic". It's delusional! The "offensive" line may indeed be getting worse based on p_ss poor play of the tackles. The Bills front office had an entire draft and offseason to make changes and their only real move was bringing in Green. That's not trying very hard. And it's not "hate" to tell it like it is. Jerry Sullivan is the only sports journalist in this town to speak up and all the Kool Aid Drinkers around here criticize him as being "an angry man". When are you people ever gonna wake up and put the blame where it belongs - squarely at OBD. Until you do, things will never change...

Yeah, next week we will be 0-2.... Can't stand the TRUTH - Get outa da kitchen!

Yeah, Right...

So how many of you want to admit that this isn't a 9-10 win playoff team? Where are all of you now??

You guys have to stop smokin that sh*t. And get a shrink! Or were you being sarcastic? For your sake I sure hope so...
