When you are born a Bills fan, you don't really have a choice. They are the game in town, and as miserable as it makes us sometimes, you like who you like.

You like who you like. And we like the Bills.

Yeah, I agree. It's hard to imagine that the Bills would step up and select the correct player. But, what gives me hope is that when there is a potentially elite-level quarterback in the draft, they generally go #1 and you almost don't have a choice but select them if you are weak at that position. I'm hoping for this to happen this year. When LeBron James is in the draft, even the crappy Cleveland Cavaliers couldn't NOT draft him. Let's hope that Luck separates himself from his peers and declares so we have our hand forced.

Nobody will even see it, so why bother. It's like we took a time machine back to the 80s where 2/3rds of all Bills home games were blacked out. Heck, that was the reason why we had an antenna on the roof when I was a kid - so we could see the games in all of their snowy glory.

The fans really have had a lot to be proud of this year! But yeah, I'm not sure I could agree with the assertion that the players quit. I don't think they really had any hope in the first place.

Wow. Anquan Boldin PLUS a 5th rounder was worth a 3rd and 4th round pick. Think about that and tell me that Marshawn Lynch is worth anything more than a 4th at BEST. There have been reports of teams offering a 4th for Lynch (i.e. Seattle). We declined those offers. There have been no better offers, nor will there be. Finally, you just don't see 35 year old running backs, regardless of their "mileage". It simply never happens. Sorry

Yep, so we might as well just give up and fold the franchise. You can't not pick someone because you're scared of busting. That's just insanity.

We disagree on this point. I don't remember that, and instead assert that the quarterback is a more important position than the others. By far. By really, really, really far. When your best player is your quarterback, you compete every single year for a championship. When it isn't, you hope to get lucky.

Ahh, understood then. Based on that, I'd tend to agree with you. I'd probably have to see a #2 to think that we weren't hurting our team (and his value isn't close to a #2).

Keeping Lynch is by far the best option. Trading him leaves your team with one 30-year old running back in the twilight of his career, and a rookie running back that is widely believed not to be an every-down type of player. Ouch. But, you are also smoking some pretty high quality drugs if you think that you can trade Lynch for any sort of proven player or a *dies laughing* second or *super dies laughing* first round draft pick. You might get a 4th rounder for Lynch. So, with that, maybe you can turn that pick into a back-up running back!

The offense looks better? They are performing at a lower level than at any point in the last 5 years.

Is there a well-known source for live streams online?

If you think we're going to draft the wrong quarterback, what makes you think that we'd draft the right offensive lineman? Our chances of hitting or missing on any draft choices is a product of the talent of our scouting and personnel department, not the position of the player.

Stop throwing around this "throw $30 million at a young qb" garbage. ANY player you draft in your draft slot is going to make roughly the same amount of money. You draft a QB #1, you are going to pay him a truckload of money. You draft a OL #1, you are going to pay him a truckload of money. Everything gets slotted in. You draft Aaron Maybin or you draft Clay Matthews, you are going to pay them the same amount. Throwing that dollar figure around as a reason NOT to try to draft a franchise quarterback is just irrelevant. Further, listing off the well-known quarterback draft busts does nothing to argue against the merits of selecting a quarterback with the Bills first round draft pick. For every Akili Smith there is a Mike Williams. Quarterbacks bust, linemen bust, safeties bust, corners bust. Every high draft choice carries with it an inherent chance to be a poor selection. Not picking a quarterback doesn't make you immune to selecting poorly. The other argument against drafting a quarterback #1 is that the Bills have so many holes to fill. They sure do. We need offensive linemen that can play, defensive linemen that can play, linebackers that can play, receivers that can play, and the list goes on and on. We have a million holes. But, please don't forget that your quarterback is the most important position on the team. The most important position on any team in any sport out there. The face of your franchise. Don't over-think it. Fill the most important hole first, and be unafraid of selecting poorly. You can't just put off the selection for a few years because you are scared of missing. How is this even close to where the two camps stand? I have to trade drafting a quarterback for drafting 4 linemen? What? The two camps are: 1. Draft a potential franchise quarterback, fully accepting the risks inherent to drafting a quarterback #1. 2. Draft a potential franchise left tackle, fully accepting the risks inherent to drafting an offensive lineman #1. WTF is this 1 QB = 4 "corn-fed" behemoths exchange rate?

Sorry Chan lovers, but reality is starting to set in. I know it'll take you another full year at least to admit that you were wrong, but believe me, it'll happen. Chan is such a great offensive coordinator! He can turn a meager quarterback into a productive NFL player! Fact: The Buffalo Bills rank #32 in the NFL in total offense. Fact: The Buffalo Bills rank #32 in the NFL in passing offense. Fact: The Buffalo Bills average 131.8 passing yards per game. Fact: The Dick Jauron Buffalo Bills averaged 157.2 passing yards per game in 2009. Fact: The Dick Jauron Buffalo Bills averaged 190.0 passing yards per game in 2008. Fact: The Dick Jauron Buffalo Bills averaged 164.6 passing yards per game in 2007. Fact: The Dick Jauron Buffalo Bills averaged 169.9 passing yards per game in 2006. Some sweet offensive genius we stole from the other half dozen teams with intense Gailey interest this last off-season. But yeah, we'll have to give him time. What did we expect? Oh yeah, everyone expected that he'd turn Trent Edwards/Ryan Fitzpatrick/Brian Brohm into quality NFL-caliber players. One cut down, two to go.

He'd laugh whichever Bills joker called him up and made the pitch (would be followed by "Who? What's your name again? You work for who? Never heard of you." <click>). Would help the franchise though, if you could somehow chloroform him and bring him in.

Well played, sir.

Who cares? You think Ralph Wilson gives a crap? You think he just has NO EARTHLY IDEA that his team is a laughingstock and completely terrible? Maybe this will be the wake-up call that actually makes him realize how bad they are! Come on, man.

This just in: The Bills aren't going to trade Marshawn Lynch. That would leave them with a 30-year old running back, and a rookie who everyone in the NFL knows can't be an every down workhorse. The Bills would only part ways with Jackson, but what team is going to give you anything for someone in the twilight of their career? It's best for the Bills to keep Lynch and Spiller. You can't always be giving away your decent players, when your whole team just plain stinks.

I'm speechless. You really think that Ryan Fitzpatrick is better than Joe Flacco?! Holy crap. Did you see the part where Joe Flacco beat perhaps the best defense in the NFL on a last-minute must-score-touchdown drive to win on the road? ..... Are you just trolling or something? You really can't be serious... *head explode*

People don't want to trade for 30 year old running backs. He might be worth a 5th rounder realistically, maybe less. I don't think we want to trade Lynch because Jackson is almost certain to be in the twilight of his NFL career, and if we trade Lynch we'll be only left with Spiller to be the "workhorse" running back, which everyone in the NFL knows he cannot be. So, trading Jackson is the only option (saving two young running backs on the roster), but yet nobody will trade for him. That's why nothing has happened.

Unfortunately, the players are the one thing you can't really make a wholesale change on. You have a whole roster of them, and many are under contract for a good number of future years. The scheme, however, can be instantly and freely changed to fit the personnel you have. All it takes is enough practice to get the player to perform at a decent level. Hopefully in about 5 or 6 years, we'll have burned through all the second-rate players and will have replaced them with some decent ones so we can adequately run the 3-4.

Completely made up. Fabricated. Just ignore it, you're being trolled.

Here's an idea for a super creative way to "protest" a business: Don't patronize them.

LOL. Jim Rome is a nationally syndicated sports talk host, and is hugely popular and at the literal top of his profession. But yeah, he's a talentless hack. Jealousy is a funny thing to watch.
