i like the flutie option but maybe not by 3 td's. he was hot as a pistol at the end of that season. rob johnson was worse than fitz, losman or edwards. maybe we should start a thread to compare them.
I wanted Flutie to start, but didn't Rob lead us to the "game winning" field goal. Wade didn't leave too much time on the clock, the ST didn't do their job. I still think it was a foward pass, but too close to overturn.

Is he wrong?
Yea, he's wrong. Who says we accept losing, horrid decision making and excuses?

Who would you rather the FO went after, Peyton Manning or Mario Williams?
Considering Peyton didn't want to play here, why the dumb question? Let's say you get 100% Peyton on this poll, so what?!?!? Hey Bills fans, next dumb question: Would you rather have Drew Brees or Fitz? And please don't ask for a link to prove Peyton didn't want to come to Buffalo. The point is, this is a dumb question/poll. IMO.

What's next - Tebow dating Anderson Cooper?
Something in me wants to reply, " no, next will be Tebow Dating you mother", but that would be wrong. Right?!?!?

I have been hearing (reading) alot of whining about cuts and who we should have kept and even who we should bring back in. It got me thinking about if this team is significantly better than last year. So lets go down the list.
FO= +0…the same...no changes that I remember (but I am getting old)
Coaching staff= same as above with the exception of bumping DW from LB coach to DC. Plus addition of quality QB coach, I really like this move and I feel like we've gotten better so I'll give it a +1.
QB=the same, same guys with the exception of TJ who no one has seen enough of in a Bills uni. I think this is even +0 although additions to the coaching staff may result in better play.
RB = +1 better. I believe that the RB position got better in 2 ways. Spiller grew up or improved his running and is staying behind his blockers better. He is also a better blocker which allows for more run differentiation.
Fred X is still the man and Choice is probably a decent 3rd back. I’m going to add Dickerson to this list because I saw him listed as FB. I think he is a good pick up and can catch the ball out of the backfield or off the LOS. All in all +1.
WR= +0 (even). I struggled with this one, although I don’t think keeping 4 wr’s plus Smith is an issue due to the fact that we have Chandler, Fred X, Spiller and maybe Dickerson who also offer targets. Im looking forward to TJ Graham coming along but at this point we haven’t seen enough of him. This group may be addition by subtraction…I was never that fond of Ruvell Martin.
Oline= +1. I say this because I feel Cordy Glen is an upgrade over Bell and the overall depth is better, especially with blocking scheme. I feel Cordy has been thrown in the fire and has done relatively well against top DE’s Orackpo in Washington and Jared Allen of Vikes. Much of this depends on Eric Pears and whether Hairston needs to take his place for injury issues.
Dline +2. I think we’ve made our biggest improvement on the team in this area in a number of ways. First I think switching from a 3-4 to a 4-3 suited our players better allowing us to put both Dareus and K. Williams on the line at the same time and have suitable depth in Johnson and Carrington although many would have wished to keep Heard or Gilbert instead of Carrington. I think in this case they FO kept Carrington for several reasons…1, he was a Bills third round pick and the FO wants this to work out…2, he has played everywhere except DB and may have become a very versatile player adding to depth. Our pass rush is so much better that the differing teams will have to “pick their poison” in who to double team. We’ve gotten a glimpse of this in pre season with Dareus, Williams and Williams all getting sacks without the help of Anderson who has been off the field since the first game.
LB= +0. Hopefully some of the young guys will come on and/or the Dline will make the LB,s look better but I don’t see a huge amount of increase nor do I see any fall off from last season.
DB’s= +1. I think Florence was cut for a reason more than just salary and will not be back…apparently Denver felt the same. I think that when McGee is healthy he is the best corner on the team and always plays his heart out either in pass or run support. I think Gilmore is an important addition and will go a long way to making this team better but may have general rookie mistakes along the way. I feel McKelvin has finally found his spot and has become very valuable on ST. Byrd and Wilson should have a good year but I’m kind of worried about fall off from Wilson who is getting older and I’m starting to wonder about Searcy’s ability to come on not to mention we kept Howell who I understand had a good preseason but still have to think (who?) when ever his name is mentioned. I kind of worry about AJ Williams and feel he may be the weak link which may not matter as much if McGee is healthy. All in all I feel as though the DB’s have gotten better.
ST= +1. I think Potter adds a lot and will challenge Lindel next season for more than just kick offs. This part of the team seems to be in mid season form and is really looking good in all areas.
Overall I see no negatives, although there are some areas we may not have improved on this year, this was an exciting off season and maybe you can’t do it all. I feel the overall talent on this team is much better and we have finally gotten to the point where when we make cuts other teams may pick them up. Take this with a grain of salt as it is all seen through a Homers eyes.
I haven't read any replies, but would like to add that I will wait 'till the season starts and we are a few weeks into it. I don't know how anyone would know until then. Right now it's all on paper.

Horrendous thread.
Shame on you, Hindsight. I had you down as being better than this.
He didn't ask your opinion on the thread. Don't like it, move on.
-
Threads like these are a dime a dozen and a complete joke for having any meaningful discussion. The Bills didn't perceive a need for a quarterback with their 3rd round pick. They did perceive a need for a starting wide receiver and that's what they got. Getting your man juices flowing (unless you're a child of course), to make yourself believe that they should have picked this or that player over who they actually did, DESPITE obvious needs is borderline short bus thinking. They said it after the draft. Unless there was an OBVIOUS franchise QB available, they weren't going to pick him. That certainly doesn't apply to a guy projected to go in the 4th or 5th round.
Thank you! This should have been the end of the conversation, but nooooooo!! Come on guys.
Oh yea, we couda had Gronk!! Bad back and all. I really like that Buddy kinda dismisses dumbass questions from reporters, maybe that's needed here.
-
You've been a member here for almost two years and this is the first thread you've come into that has discussions OTHER than the OP's person of interest?
First?!?!?! No, but but you guys have TOTALLY gotten away from the topic. Take a look at page 2 and only a couple of entries actually deal with Kyle being a stud. Even Punch tried to stear the conversation back to Kyle, but nope. I thought my subtle approach might help. I've seen people complain for less than this. mrag got it. Thanks.Hope my answer suffices.

We're going to spend that much money on a terrible backup QB? Has there been any more of a Ralph move than that? Beyond idiotic.
What?!?!?! OK, he gets blasted as being cheap then blasted when spending $ to try to improve the team?! Two words for ya: shut up!!!

After Troup going on IR for the season I was just thinking back to how awful Nix's first draft was for this team... I mean it is really terrible.
Spiller - hasn't produced enough at this point to justify the pick although a lot of upside here (best pick)
Troup - IR for 2nd straight season
Carrington - likely to be cut this year, never done anything as a Bill
Easley - injured the entire time he has been on the team, likely to be cut
Wang - trash
Moats - should make the team (2nd best pick.. not saying much)
Batten - likely to be cut
Levi Brown - trash
Calloway - trash
After cuts we are likely to only have Spiller and Moats playing this year... what a disaster this was.
Your thoughts?
My thoughts?!?!? My thought is "aren't there like 2-3 or 4 threads like this already?!?!? Yawn.
-
I disagree with you here. It's the pre season and there's a possibility for injury. Our offense had multiple chances to score from the 50 yard line in the half and didn't. Call it a day and head to the half healthy and tied and able to come out in the 2nd half with the ball. If someone wild have been injured it's not hindsight, it's foresight for seeing that this game means nothing and it's not worth it to risk it. Then there's always the other side of it, the fact that we helped the Steelers stop the clock and take advantage the additional time. I just disagree with the call on so many levels. If yu don't, that's fine, but it was pre season and it meant nothing either way. All they did was give other teams video on how to beat the Bills in a 2 minute drill. Max protection on the line and have your burners run circles around our young DBs and LBs. At the end of the day, I am right because we were scored on and that's a fact.
Dammit, I thought when I clicked on "All Hail Kyle Williams" the replies would be about, ohhh I don't know, Maybe Kyle Williams?!?!?! WTF?!?!

I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion.
No need to guess. It's true, we all are entitled to our opinion. Whatever the hell you meant by that.

Chris Kemoeatu still has nigthmares about that game. KW was en fuego that day.
GO BILLS!!!
This was the only time I actually felt bad for an opponent. Don't get me wrong, that was total domination and fun to watch, but I did feel for the guy.

Apparently you must not have wanted Merriman on the team at all from the way you are talking. We didn't release him after an injury, we are releasing him DURING his most productive off-season in 3 years. I'm not saying it isn't probably the wisest decision Gailey and Nix need to make. The only thing I am saying is I would feel better keeping a healthy Merriman.... Stop talking like a teenager. It's annoying.
I wanted him here when we were a 3-4 d. But he doesn't work well as a 4-3 de. or a 4-3 olb. He can't cover a TE as a 4-3 OLB and he doesn't hold up as well as Kelsay as the 4-3 de against the run.
I'm missing the talking like a teenager part, WTF do yu mean?!
-
Oh, you crazy! No way that is it! Make much more sense that there is a secret backdoor reason and there is a conspiracy to keep the truth about Merriman from the public! Even Obama is in on it!
Didn't even think of the Obama angle! Humm,?!?!

PED's usually stay in the body for a while even after stopping. Theoretically he could have still been getting benefits from the PED's he was caught using the season after he was forced to stop using them. Then once it clears his body and he's no longer putting new PED's into it--that's when the bad effects kick in like injuries and lack of burst and power that his body was capable of while on them.
All I can say is "wow, really?!?!" So ,the ped's stayed in his body 'till the next season?!?
-
To tell you the truth, I don't know why we just wouldn't release Kelsay instead. Yeah yeah yeah, maybe the injuries have a lot to do with it. I don't care. I would still feel better if Kelsay was gone instead of Merriman.
And I feel better knowing you are not the decision maker for this franchise. Hummm, let's keep a 3-4 olb with a history of injuries instead of the 4-3 de., even though we are now a 4-3 d.
-
Or maybe he really wasn't that good and between not being able to take PEDs and injuries couldn't be very good.
He's only 28, mid prime, so if he had a thing left, then I'm sure they'd have kept him for this season's big playoff run.
Or maybe, as was quoted, he is better suited as a 3-4 lb. That is why we signed him. Now that we are a 4-3 d, he's out of place. Geez dude!!!
Listen Brian Billick, we know you hate the front office and coaches because they passed you over, but you don't have to keep bringing it up in every thread.
Glad I'm not the only one who wanted to reply to this. Thanks.

Thanks for the play on words but I guess your name already describes you so I don't need to really say anything else.
He got penalized TWICE. One DID NOT deserve a penalty. If his "WHY SO SERIOUS" shirt didn't get penalized, then his "HAPPY NEW YEARS" celebration shouldn't have gotten one either. Everybody on here critisizes him BEYOND BELIEF. "he should concentrate more on football and less on rapping." "he needs to grow up." "he needs to do this."
Let him be. Dam. Stevie rarely gets called for penalties other than that.

Like I haven't seen that one before. Very original.

What people haven't touched on is, how is this debt going to effect him and his performance as a Buffalo Bill. I mean, all things the same, I'd rather have a VY focused on football and not finances.
Actually, what people haven't touched on is that this is none of your business. Who cares?!?! It's not your money, he's not yo baby daddy, sooo why do you guys even care? If he makes the team as the backup, it's cuz he deserved it and is focused on football. They do have lives outside of football, including finances. Lives that aren't any of your business. Just another angle on this situation.

WHO GIVES A FCK!!! Ohhh he's talking about it. He's also talked about stepping up and playing better and stepping up his game. He's talking about improving himself and getting more YAC yds. Team needs to imrpove....Whoopty fckin doo.
If he doesn't get penalized and he constantly scores TD's, why the fck should u or anybody else care what he does to celebrate? Just means he's getting the job done and celebrating. I hope he gets in the endzone 15 times this year and dances his azz off just to piss people like u off.
Hey Fleabag, the problem is HE DID get penalized for his actions. More than once!! That's why the FCK I care. By the way, who the hell said anything about Stevie celebrating makes him a BAD PERSON!?!?!?
-
Great post... precisely why it makes no sense to keep a long time loser like Chris Kelsay on this team.
Let's see now, Kelsay has a college degree, is a family man and good enough to play in the NFL for a long time and he's a loser?!The team sucked, it was not his fault. Me thinks you are confusing a loser of a team vs one player. So if we make the playoffs he's good all of a sudden? PS, Just because your status shows "All-Pro" doesn't really mean you are.
-
No one is saying AP isnt a good player.... Me thinks your overreacting a bit
Agreed, Joe is overeacting just a bit. Bye the way, did he really compare AP with BARRY!! AP couldn't hold BARRY's jock. Put BARRY behind that line AP had his first 2-3 yrs and it's history in the making.

Well considering that the Jets were laughing at us last year before the game and then completely destroyed us, I'd say it's time for the Bills to either put up and beat the Jets or just take the smack talking.
Agreed, I have a feeling this game is gonna turn into a one-sided match, and we will make up for last years debacle at home.
Man I hope so. I'm gonna be watching with my boss who is a big time Jets fan. Hope I still have a job after this one.
Why the BUFFALO BILLS will win handily this week
