My week: Thursday night (at least half the game, sometimes all) Bills game (almost always 1pm slot) Redzone for the late games Sunday night (at least half the game, sometimes all) Monday night (at least half the game, sometimes all) Then: At least 1 full college game (my team), and bits an pieces of other big college games. Also, substantial time on this forum, another football forum, listening to WGR on the ap, watching football related programming on TV, and doing fantasy football activities. Add it all up and this easily exceeds 24 hours a week of football activity when the season is on. Given that I've been doing this for years...it's not insane to think that I could be functional (if not fluent) in a language of my choosing had I focused on that instead. You guys all just as bad as me?

He's a new whipping boy? To the extent he is a whipping boy, it isn't new. Also, I'm not sure how everyone saying "I like that guy, he is a good player" makes him a whipping boy. Does that mean you are a whipping boy unless most fans say you don't deserve top-5 money? We have a lot of whipping boys then....

The forum will kill you for using anything remotely specific to make an obvious point--just know that I agree. I like Gilmore, and wish he could stay a Bill, but he will not be on the team moving forward. He's a good player that someone will likely pay great player money. He's the next Jairus Byrd (although he won't get that much of a premium).

Video out? HDMI cable? Adapters? Get a Chromecast man, it's 2016.

I have it. It's ok. The best feature is the all-22 where you get the different angle. Honestly, I don't use it as much as I thought I would.

First play? Nobody would bet on that. First drive? We throw a bomb on the first drive pretty often.

If we wanted we could get a top 40 pick for Dareus from some team. We should not be worrying about that right now.

Of course:

I kind of say whatever I want to say when it comes to sports, and just assume that my words have no effect on anything that happens in the games.

Blah get over it, it's ok to talk like this as a fan. Of course we could drop one of these 2...that wouldn't destroy us completely but would suck. And yes, it is possible this team implodes at anytime so we could lose both. But most likely, we're going to 5-2...we're riding high and on a collision course with Brady that will be really fun.

Yea yea, nobody look ahead and we're not that great and can't even pass. BUT...San Fran and Miami are really bad. There is a very realistic, even good (we will be favored in both games), chance that we will be 5-2 hosting the 6-1 Pats at New Era with 1st place in the AFCE on the line (exactly at the half point of the season). Could be the biggest game in modern history. I'm looking forward to that.

I've googled him since and am almost ashamed that I didn't know who he was, but the truth is I didn't. I don't know, maybe I've heard of him and simply forgot...I don't typically retain what little LA Rams information I receive (through only the most general of NFL media consumption). Anyway, Eric basically said he's the best player in the NFL. He said he's like JJ Watt, but that JJ Watt blows assignments leaving holes wide open (when he's not blowing assignments getting tackles for losses or sacks), while Donald is every bit, if not more, disruptive but does so within the scheme, always getting back to his spot, and is going to be a superstar in the league for years to come. He said if Bills fans don't know who he is, they should find out. The host commented that this guy (that I don't know) was the best rated player by PFF for all of last year (as a second year player), and that he is the highest rated player by PFF so far this year through 4 games. So yea...Aaron Donald...apparently #99 for the Rams is going to be tough on Sunday...

I think Sammy may be done in Buffalo.

Thank God. We should win this game.

The craziness has really taken over. Hunter has AJ Green's body, but Hunter has sucked--which is the reason he was available.

Rex really needs to cook up some sort of magic stew for the next several weeks on defense if we're going to win. It really doesn't matter who plays QB, we need to be prime Rex...walking around pre-snap, looking crazy and totally without order, and yet getting pressure and having our cover guys right where they need to be somehow.

If anything I added another round just to be safe...it is widely accepted that the first 4 rounds are the valuable picks...when you get to 5+ it starts to get dicey. To truly invest, you take someone in rounds 1-4...look at what happens when teams trade and you will see this is true. The purpose of the topic is to talk about how we have not invested in the WR position. Citing a bunch of 6th and 7th round picks is irrelevant for purposes of the discussion...

As BuffaloHokie has already pointed out, Naker and Sakman cannot read.

Panned out or stuck around a while? I shutter to think what it would look like to put a list of WRs that went after these guys together.... Not really though, and I don't really mean that as a fair statement. But the point stands, we haven't invested in a passing game. We haven't had a passing game.

Can Reggie Bush take the field with Shady and split out and go in motion a bunch to add to the passing game?

Do you know how ridiculous that statement would be if you said it to anything other than a forum full of Bills fans? What if I cherry picked the 6 best games for ODB and extrapolated?

Damn, that was an absolutely epic, stellar, amazing, jaw-dropping WR class. It's hard to argue value on Sammy even if he was healthy and all-world for us...which he was not.

Also, while I would never argue any QB we've drafted over the relevant time period is any good, I would argue that it would be hard to tell. We've been drafting like a Rex Ryan team long before Rex Ryan was our coach.
