If Jerruh was smart he'd sign her up. What great PR. Baby boomers still think they are 21. If you have family retired in Florida go check out what the geezers are doing...group sex, muscle cars and getting baked.

Sounds like a retirement plan to me.Uhm, did you mean baked by the sun or BAKED?!?!

I understand not wanting to praise a guy who by most accounts is a real !@#$, but let's be honest here. The guy's had a lot of success in a highly competetive zero sum game for a lot of years. He's not just real lucky, or else he's the luckiest guy in the world.
If you're looking for someone to hate on you should look for a loudmouth, self-aggrandizing, immature bag of vinegar and water who had his life status handed to him on a silver platter. Like Jim Irsay.

Um, the Colts drafted Manning with the #1 overall pick. The Bills haven't had the #1 pick since Bruce Smith. And as bad as they have been, they rarely draft top 5 (like the Lions and Rams). They only had 3 top 5 picks since the 80s. The Bills are average to slightly below average, which is probably worse.
But my main point is that if you get a franchise QB, everything else falls into place. If Luck is as good as people make him out to be, does that mean the new Colts' GM (whatever his name is), is some kind of genius? Or does it mean he just inherited a great situation? For example if the Bills were as awful as the Colts were this season, would Nix be a genius for drafting Luck?
If we have the run that the Colts did with Manning, then yes. Don't forget there was alot of debate over Manning and Leaf, he picked the right one.The Bill rarely drafted in the top 5, but the Colts almost always drafted in the late 20's and still fielded a quality team for a long time undr Polian.Even if we base Polian on only 2 desicions in his career as a GM (Manning over Leaf, and Edjeran James Vs. Ricky Williams) he came off as a genius, like him or not.

If the Bills had the luxury of picking Manning #1 overall and the Colts ended up with a guy like JP Losman, how does that trend work?
For as bad as the Bills drafted, they still won 6 to 7 games starting Losman and Edwards at QB. Do you honestly think that they are superior to Curtis Painter?
To me the point is Polian does a hell of a job with talent desicions and building a team.The Bills have had the luxury of having high draft picks for what, 10-11 years? We have done squat with them. Do you think we would be in this position if Polian was running things in Buff for those drafts? Polian doesn't seem to "end up" with guys like Losman or Edwards.
For as bad as the Bills drafted, they still won 6 to 7 games starting Losman and Edwards at QB. Do you honestly think that they are superior to Curtis Painter?
Maybe I am Dopey but, what ?!?! Painter was brought in as a Backup to a very durable HOF QB, he wasn't supposed to be a savior. Polian did the right thing here. As for the Bills, we drafted these guys thinking they would lead our team to the playoffs. Big difference. Painter wasn't expected to carry the Colts, unlike Losman and Edwards.If Polian were looking for a franchise QB, he wouldn't be looking at Painter.If he was still here, I don't think we would have wasted all of those high picks, or drafted guys like Losman or Edwards. He turned the Bills, Panthers and Colts into winners. Franchises that were pretty much in the dumps when he arrived, and "Bam" now they're winners. "till he leaves, that is.

Without a doubt you keep him, and go into camp with Florence, McGee, Williams, McKelvin, Corner, Rogers, +1 Mid-rounder, +1 or 2 camp fodder signings.
Let them fight for the positions. Even if you keep 6, theyre not all going to make it through the entire season. McGee might not even make it out of camp!
Dont bother signing any Free Agent starters at CB. Put the money towards Stevie, WRs, Pass Rush, and signing our own guys that need extensions.
Overrated? By who? Guy is the #1 whipping boy on this site.
There is no reason to cut him; who are they going to get that's better?
I really like McGee as a CB, I think he is better than Florence...BUT he is unfortunately made of glass, and he is only getting older. Florence struggled at times last year (as did the entire secondary), but no CB is ever going to have an easy time without a pass rush. I still believe Florence is a starting quality CB in the NFL, and we will need to have a guy like that if we are even considering relying on McGee to stay healthy.
Regardless of cost, I think we should dump McKelvin, unless we make him our full time PR/KR. As a CB, he just isn't good. He has speed and can stay with a guy,but is clueless on how to play the ball. This leads to countless penalties, and receivers catching the ball over his head with regularity. He is usually in good position, but almost never actually makes the play. Opposing QB's love seeing him on the field, they will throw at him every time...
Justin Rogers showed some ability (almost entirely kick return related), in his very tiny amount of playing time as an NFL CB (Nickle and Dime only) he had a couple of good plays, and also got burned on a few plays. It might be reasonable to hope he get grab the dime or maybe nickle spot on this team, but to expect him to step in as a starter is probably wishful thinking.
Florence is a good, proven starting CB in the NFL. Did he have trouble last year? Yeah, but when the opposing QB has 10 seconds to pull the trigger on every play, he doesn't have much of a chance. Rogers won't fix that problem.

And the 44 yrd Sproles TD before it, where he had him dead to rights, but somehow never got a hand on him.
Now that's the Donte I remember!!! The difference is SF has a better team and can mask/hide his deficiencies. Whenever he blew an assignment with us, it stood out because the chances were we couldn't make up for his mistakes. Safety play is definitely better w/out him.
-
Witty as the above comment is, I know he was in the pro bowl, I never said he wasn't (he made it as an alternate). I asked do you really think he is all-pro caliber? Rhetorical question, since you have pronounced your love for him several times.
Most of us who have watched him in Buffalo saw a guy that couldn't cover, couldn't catch, and often whiffed with his "body bump" style of tackling (like when he was Benched a few years ago in favor of our current starter, who played far better than Donte this year). His team got better in SF, but not him. Watch the 4th quarter of the saints playoff game as an example.
I don't "hate" Donte, but have never been a big fan of the way he plays, or his attitude. George Wilson has played amazing football for the Bills, and I am very happy with the CURRENT situation at the position. The Bills upgraded.
I was over Donte as soon as he left via FA. But I do want to say that Alex Smith and Vernon Davis saved his ASS with that last second TD to win the NFC Championship. Donte wiffed on a pick attempt that let the TE(Graham) score what we thought was the winning TD and looked silly wiffing on another big hit.SF would have been just as good, if not better with our saftey back there. Just saying.

"The Bills owner has said he's dedicated to the team staying in Western New York—is that really true?
If he wants the team to remain in the area, and there's a "group" of local investors ready to buy, why isn't he selling now?
It seems as though Wilson's ego won't let him live a day on Earth without being the Bills owner. No one said he would be exiled from the organization if he did sell the team to a Western New York investment group. "
This team is his life's work. Why would he want to sell it? He is still alive, you know. Ego?!? Well, if I'm Ralph I keep the team 'till my last breath. He's earned the right. It's his team/company to do what he wants. As a businessman, this old man knows what he's doing. You can always shop at another store.

DeSean Jackson wants a new contract because his rookie deal has now expired. Yes he blew all of the money he had, but that is hardly relevant to his current negotiation except that it gives the Eagles a little more leverage in the ongoing negotiation. Bad example, and the word is ignorance.
Actually, he wanted a new deal while still under contract. Yes, it was his rookie deal, but he went broke and owes his agent mulah. After seeing reports and pics of receipts where he spent 10k in a 3 hr span at a "scrip" club, I think this is a good example. Is it relevant to his current contract negotiation? It sure is. Like you said, it gives the Eagles leverage knowing he is the type to blow money like that. They can portray him as an imature person who will lose his money again, then sulk when he realizes it. He definetly didn't play as well when this money issue was on his mind. As for being a spellchecker, you knew what he ment.

Especially in our case! with injuries for some and little play time for others, then the lock out for all. I feel we drafted more effectively this last draft throughout. Dopey i think your draft theory is sound. us old guys have more patience maybe?
Thanks, hopefully these guys pan out this season.

Stevie had a pretty good showing against Revis this past season. With Plax most likely not returning, I could see the Jets as players in the pursuit of Stevie. Suprising this hasn't come up already. If it did, I missed it. Thoughts?

All white guys.
Did you vote for Mayor Berry?!

I know you people won't believe it until you see it, but Courtney Upshaw will do just fine in a 4-3 defense.

Why can't we fix him like the 6 million dollar man and bring him back?

I am doing a wine with the wife. Happy VD day.

Lasted barely a year? They were implementing it over two seasons. They obviously stepped back once they shifted more to 4-3 looks in mid-season, but 3-4 came in with Gailey. These guys are definitely off the mark.
Maybe he was talking calender year. Before you start, I got ripped for not distinguishing between a calender year and a season on this site. Season starts in Sept and the next season starts the following Sept. Start and end 1 season and begin the next season + a few games and it's barely over a year. Just saying.
Um Stevie Johnson started two years in a row.
David Nelson has playmaking ability.
Wanny isn't a new hire.
They switched to the 4-3 two years ago.
Yeah besides that spot on.
They switched to the 4-3 two years ago. Really?!? I must have been asleep or drunk for two seasons. Damn beer.
At some point doesn't just the lack of talent be it speed, hands, etc. trump the fact that no coach
can help players who simply cannot start in the NFL. I am speaking of Nelson here. His biggest asset is his his cute Dallas girlfriend and scripted TD celebrations.Sorry but there is a reason some of these guys last to the 7th or are UDFA's. I have even less regard for most defensive players taken in 2010 by Nix. Almost a draft of complete busts yet some think the light will now go on with Wanny. Maybe, but I again see raw talent as the first and most defining thing a young player has going for him. All the coaching won't do anything if NFL caliber talent is missing. Here's hoping the Bills draft talent in April instead of the small school players, with potential script they sometimes have used with zero success. Perhaps some long needed pink slips in scouting have corrected that.
I think we all realize the 2010 draft wasn't that good, yet. I'm waiting 'till this season to see how Spiller,Troup,Carrington, and especially Easley work out. If our 1st 3-4 picks play well next season, I'll change my mind on the 2010 draft. Considering it was his 1st draft for us and how late the staff came together, I'll give him a pass(already have).Maybe I'm old(well, not maybe), but it used to take 2-3 seasons to evaluate a draft. I still like that theory.

Enjoy and GO BILLS!!!!!

I'm not as down on Fitz as you, but I am as high on the OL as you. I'm giving him a one year reprieve based on the cracked rib factor. Have fun on here though because people like to disregard facts. The Buffalo Bills allowed the least sacks in the NFL, were 4th in YPC and 1st on YPC on 1st down. Yet literally more than half the people on here will tell you straight up that our OL downright sucks.
Bill Parcells used to say " you are what your record says you are", well we our Oline is what the #'s say. The least amount of sacks in the NFL can't be attributed only to Fitz, the Oline had something to do with that stat. This was also done with injuries to our 1st string LT, 2nd string LT,2nd or 3rd option at C,LG switching to LG and C, hell the only guy to play 16 games in his spot was RT. IF this Oline can stay relatively healthy, we will be just fine next season(hopefully we resign Bell). Going into last season, we thought the worst of our Oline, this season I'm just hoping for them to stay healthy. Having said all of that, I still wouldn't mind a LT early in the draft since Harrison is a RT to me. We need quality depth.

Buddy asleep at the wheel again. I bet the titans called first. Typical Buffalo I'm so done with this team, Ralph is cheap, I think Brady just sneezed, Fitz isn't the answer and Stevie is more of a number 2
Did I miss any?
So what if the Titans called first. So you're done with this team, just not done bitching on this site about us? Are you really done with this team?
Here ya go:

Will we have to endure these type of threads after every single player is cut now?
Only if you choose to view the threads. If not, move on and everything is just fine.

for all you there could have been a mix up on the route crowd.

Also interesting tidbit from the article, Belicheat wanted the Giants to have to use Manningham instead of Cruz or Nicks on the final drive...
I think Belichek was right to want them to use Manningham. That was one hell of a catch. He makes that catch 1 out of 10 times it's thrown like that. Cruz and Nicks were a nightmare to cover out there. It's pretty amazing with as bad as people say Brady played that if Brady and Welker connect on that pass, the Pats win the SB. No doubt.

We already have guys that don't need to gain 20 Lbs of muscle that are road Graders (Brown, Colin OL 6-7 328, Rinehart, Chad OL 6-5 323) . I Don't understand your obsession with guards when that is our strongest position on the team.
I would love Decastro on our team, but not with the #10 pick. That being said, we need depth on the inside in case Wood is not ready. And Rinehard didn't look good on the inside,IMO. I would put Decastro in Rinehart's place in a heartbeat. He could play both guard positions. We really need a plan for the backup center spot in case Wood has health issues.

I agree with the OP. We have a lot to look forward to as Bills' fans. The Bills should be players in free agency, this year, we have a ton of guys returning off the IR and another draft to look forward to.
On top of all that, there seems to be a changing of the guard taking place in the AFC. New England doesn't have a defense and Brady is getting old, Pittsburgh is about $25mill above the salary cap, Peyton might not be back in Indy, the Jets are imploding, and the Ravens will always be beatable as long as they have Flacco at QB. The AFC is ripe for the picking. Other than Houston or maybe even Cincy, I don't see any other teams on the rise. Now is our chance!
Let's go Bills!!!!!
and the Ravens will always be beatable as long as they have Flacco at QB.
The Ravens are beatable as long as the WR's suck. Boldin is there only good receiver and he's not a speed/gamebreaker type receiver. He's a slot/possession type. Flacco outplayed Brady in the playoff game, but...Lee Evans and Billy Cundif kinda let him down. Kinda. IMO.

Hey Ice,
You may have posted this already, but what was your thinking when GB lost in the playoffs after almost going undefeated? Anger, pain or maybe just an " oh well, we'll get 'em next year"? Just curious. Also, what do you think management will do this offseason as far as the Draft and FA? Thanks.
