Since you have young kids, they might like the Lion safari near Toronto about 90 minutes drive from Buffalo.....My kids enjoy it as you get to drive through the safari.
Also, the MarinLand was awesome.

The way Marv is running things is very remeniscent of Greggo if you ask me. Marv has an infatuation with the Tampa cover 2 scheme and had to hire Jauron to run it. Greggo had an infatuation with the west coast offense and had to hire Mike Sheppard as the offensive coordinator. I think the west coast offense has been every bit as successful in the NFL as the cover 2; therefore I don't think we can say Marv is smart for hiring a coach that knows how to run a particular scheme. Like I mentioned earlier Jauron is reminding me of Greggo "We're going to make a run at the sack record because I know how to run Buddy Ryan's "46" hybrid." Jauron: "We're going to win because I can coach the cover 2". Systems are just a way tto manage your players.
Except that we did not have the personnel or the patience to run the WC offense....You had to give RJ and company at least 2 years to learn that offense...Hoiwever we sent RJ and Shepperd packing after a single season.

Not gonna happen. The other 3 teams giants/skins/boys have all gained ground on philly especially the giants. Mark Brunell experienced a bit of a career revival but he'll be hard pressed to achieve that again. They also had no draft to build anything. I believe its the giants division to lose. McNabb will only throw it away if given the chance anyway.
Agreed...The redskins way overpaid for both Lloyd and Randal El. They
already had a good defense, they need to build their offense, but not by overspending for average WRs.
Dallas might be under the radar.....They have the best chance to overtake the Eagles. NY Giants are overrated. Their defense is on the decline and they have not addressed it.

Separate form any feelings about his performance on the field, I personally thought Bledsoe was a pretty stand-up guy, and the thing that always stands out in my mind when he left was his incredulitity that they were handing the job over to JP in particular. Sure he was bitter about the way he left, but the shock and awe he displayed about JP being handed the job I think spoke volumes. It was obvious JP didn't do much to earn his respect, and he didn't think JP was anywhere close to being ready for a variety of reasons - and I think a lot of other players felt the same. Some maybe still do.
The fact that Bledsoe did not own up to his poor performanec against the 3rd stringers in cthe season finale speaks volume aboet his credibility......

Again, you are only as good as your surrounding cast....The benefit of doubt
has to be given to Moulds. Reed had tons of yards after the catch, but that is
also due to the effective blocking our downfield WRs provided and the explosive
TE we had in Metz.
-
Stop that....Moulds was a pretty good player.....Unfortunatley he had some lousy QBs throwing to him over his career....
Advantages that Reed had in his career:
1) One single QB most of his career and a HoF at that.
2) Had blazing and/or good WRs complementing on the other side in Beebe,
Lofton etc....
3) Had a HoF caliber RB who also could catch the ball off the backfield.
4) Was part of a SB bound team.
5) Played majority of snaps in a single offense
Disadvantages that Moulds has through his career
1) Every year or so there was a change in Offensive philosophy
2) Not a consistent WR to complement the other side...For a year he had
Peerless Price and another year he had Lee Evans...the rest ?
3) Average QBs....The only good years where when he had Flutie threw to him
and the year Drew had a career year.
4) RBs also have been average here for most of his career...
Again, I was mad at Moulds last year for looking out for himself rather than the team and help/support the inexperience QB like how Hines Ward/Bettis did for Big Ben 2 years ago....And he was rightly shipped off, as his mind was not in to playing for the Bills again.....But he was a pretty good player.....
-
I don't know much about people being "handed" starting jobs, but in the entire history of the modern NFL, you can count on a woodshop teachers fingers the number of QB's who didn't struggle in their first year under center. Montana, Marino, maybe Esiason and Roethlisberger for 1/2 a season are the only ones I can think of off-hand. The other 1,479 stunk the joint up.
Cya
You forgot to include Brady in it....the 1st season he started games, he was good...and so was Drew Bledsoe, when he started as a rookie.....Others who excelled (but their team stunk) was Peyton Manning.
-
-
And other possibilities include
Cornelius Benett a.k.a the biscuit
The guy redefined the LB position for the Bills in the 90s....If Talley is on
the wall, he definitely shoud get in.
Henry Jones
He was our starting safety for such a long time and an outstanding player as such. He had great seasons during the SB run.
Reuben Brown
Just for his longevity.

He is totally right.
Getting an additional 2nd rounder would have allowed the Bills more flexibility in the draft. They could have turned around and used that second rounder to move in the first and grab McCargo and still have a second round pick to nab a quality player. Trading down IS a risk, it always is... but that you are rewarded for that risk with additional picks.
Sometimes you have to weigh in the "risk" and the chance to get your player.
If in your mind the risk is not worth it, then you go and get your player...There
is nothing wrong with it....It is all speculation that Denver was offering the
2nd and 4th....
-
These guys make you laugh....Didn't the Ravens HC talk in a post-draft
radio show about how they would have picked Whitner if he was available at 13.
Peter conviniently decided to ignore that piece of information.
As one of the guys in the local talk show (in Pitt) said, if you like a player and
really enamoured by him, go get him at what ever pick you think it is safe...
There is no such thing as a reach.....that will be told only 4-5 years from the
draft day.

I think both Tom and Marv are good GMs. GMs job is not making the splash but improving his football team.
Tom picked McGahee because he was a Top-5 talent. You don't let go of such a talent. McGahee has done nothing to disprove that. Tom picked Lee Evans to improve us at the WR position and Lee did not disappoint...He had 8-10 TDs in his rookie season.
Tom picked Schoebel, Clements in his first draft that those guys improved this football team.
Tom traded his 1st pick for Drew Bledsoe....DB immediately improved this team and was responsible for a 5-3 start that generated optimism and gave Price a 36M dollar contract.

Really?
2001: Aaron Schobel, Ron Edwards, Tyrone Robertson
2002: Ryan Denney, Coy Wire, Justin Bannan
2003: Chris Kelsay, Lauvale Sape
2004: Tim Anderson
Not to mention FA's Lawyer Milloy, Troy Vincent, Sam Adams... and we had Pat Williams.
I see a lot of 1st day picks there and big FA signings. This is considered "years of neglect"???
I think he should really have mentioned the neglect in the last 2 years of drafting, when we went Offense much more. Considering that we had the #1 and #2 defenses in succession, a GM is going to try to shore up the offense, and I have no problems with it.
I am sure Marv is going to do the same next year when he will have a much better defense, but with holes in the offense.

I think it is more like 8 spots....If Mangold is available the Steelers will take him at 32.

KFFL is reporting:
Bills | Talking potential trade with Bears
Thu, 27 Apr 2006 12:05:05 -0700
John Clayton, of ESPN.com, reports the Buffalo Bills are attempting to acquire a second first round pick. The Chicago Bears, who own the No. 26 pick, may be interested in dealing.
-
-
The Jets are going to pick some one who will sell more gear....Vernon Davis will be a popular choice....not a LT or a LB.
-
Pick the best available player at 8...No trade up or down...LT, S, LB and DT are positions of need and whoever is available at 8 whether it is the Brick, or Huff or Hawk or Ngata, pick him.
As the article from WHAM posted, we don't need a draft that needs to make a splash...We need a boring draft......We don't need draft where we make news like a Bledsoe trade, McGahee or Losman.

In 01 Juron had the Bears go 13-3.
He has always been a good coach and coordinator.
Marv will have a few chats with him.
A good QB will take the Bills a long way and you have Craig Nall!!
I believe Juron and Nall are going to make h other look very good.
I think many of you underestimate the talent on the Bills roster.
I hope Nall has 15 great games this year.
Can he finish the off-season camps first.
Aikman any good?

HoF is not all about just numbers....it does include the ability of the player to raise to the occasion consistently and carry his team on his shoulders....What Aikmen had was a very sharp passing game. He rarely made mistakes and threw the ball right where it needed to be and on time.
Statistics should not be the lone criteria for HoF in his case because he had a STUD RB (just as you said). When you have Emmit in your back field you don't
have to throw 30 times like a Brunell or a Bledsoe......
Successful QBs have a smaller # of throws, but higher % of completions....
