Clearly Kraft is just amazing. He does this while changing GM's and continuously losing coordinators. Brady is such a small part of their winning people just won't admit it. It's about managing the cap and winning football games baby. They are like magicians. It's a mystery to teams like the Bills because they can't manage the cap and win games. It's not Brady it's how they just keep backfilling all the players they lose in free agency or just decide not to sign. It's simply amazing and has nothing to do with Brady. It's how wonderfully they draft and their owner is so brilliant.

Oh I think the Ravens would still compete with us even with their depleted roster. Why do you suggest the NFL would want to embarrass their reigning championship team week 1 on Prime time?

You picked up on my sentiment. The culture has changed - no it hasn't. What is it with some fans that get so upset when someone is feeling positive? I feel positive - well you shouldn't we haven't won in 13 years. Feel how you want is my point.

What evidence do you have that a culture change hasn't started?

What does the past win loss history have to do with Marrone? Maybe your point is you don't want to be optimistic because of the past. Ok fair enough, but isn't being optimistic fair enough too? That's the beauty of a new coaching staff, it's an opportunity for our team to get better. The argument that we have holes on our team is so tiresome. Every team does, like Big Cat said it's not fantasy football. All I'm saying is the debate that a coaching staff can change the direction of a team is absolutely true. Is this the staff to do that? Who knows, but IMO there's plenty of reasons to believe it's possible. The people that don't have the same issues of pursuading as those that do. So I'll turn your own statement back on you. They haven't played a game yet so how do you know they won't win more games than they lose? And what's your evidence they haven't dispelled any sense of impending doom? I say they have with me, you can't prove I'm wrong about that.

He said extra picks not pick.

I'd prefer my coach to coach the team and worry about how he's going to roll out his plan. Hoping he wins all final decisions is not only wrong but a delusion.

I didn't go to UB but would love to get behind a college from my home City. I mean no disrespect to the Alumni on here or those that want the Buffalo name to remain but for a casual fan like me, I'd take anything that would help the program get serious about athletics on a National level. I love the Bobby Hurley signing.

I understand that's the story but obviously Wright and his family are awfuly proud of it. How it ended up there shouldn't stop the Bills from honoring the creator.

Pretty cool story. I'm surprised he didn't have a relationship with Ralph to get recognized. Maybe we'll here about them doing something.

I don't think the Bills have had 8 QB's good enough to make any of these teams even enough to be interesting.

8 teams will draft former/current Bills players in a 22 round draft that that could potentially take 176 days if each team takes their 24 hour time limit ...... then what? I don't get why you would do this.

Should we draft him in the first round?

I hear what you're saying but I just don't think worrying about the RB position is worth attempting to fill absolute needs. I wouldn't be opposed to signing an undrafted free agent or something like that, but we cannot afford to worry about things that aren't concerns at this point in the 4th round.

I think a Tom Brady roast is in order.

I don't understand how you can be so sure he "won't get picked day 1" and he's "definitely a round 2 guy". Now that might be your valuation but that's something different than saying you think every NFL team thinks that way. The reason watching Brady and Rodgers was so painful is because they were expected to go in the top portion of the draft. I dont' think anyone feels that certian about EJ so I don't see the harm in him being there. Even if he gets picked in day 2 as you suggest, that's where most have him slotted anyway so it wouldn't be a big surprise. If he does get picked earlier he'll be there to enjoy it.

"But the Bills need to be ready at No. 8, in the event someone else takes quarterback Geno Smith before Buffalo is on the clock. The options at that point will include: (1) taking a different quarterback; (2) trading down for a different quarterback; (3) using the pick on someone else." "That someone else could be Jones, who could play outside or inside linebacker in the Bills’ new 3-4 defense. Of course, that assumes Jones would also be available at No. 8. At this point, no one really knows where anyone will or won’t be in the top 10 ." Thanks Florio. I know a lot of people like this guy, but I've never been on board with him.

I'm having a difficult time deciding what I'd like the Bills to do in this years draft. Just like most of you I enjoy settling in on my own personal draft strategy I'd prefer the Bills to employ and then it's fun to see how it all unfolds. Usually I'm at that point by this time of year and have fortified into my stance. This year has been strangely more arduous for me to take a position. I've changed my mind at least 10 times. I finally figured out why I'm so off kilter, for the first time in long memory I haven't been able to decide what I want them to do with our first pick. For your amusement I'll share what I'm narrowing it down to. I am really starting to warm up to drafting an offensive lineman with our first pick and not drafting a QB even if no QB has been taken. In this scenario I want the Bills to draft one of the top left tackles or Warmack. The Bills aren't great at any particlular unit (although an argument could be made at RB). I believe they could be if they drafted a left tackle or Warmack and signed Clabo for a contract in the 3 year $12 million range should do it. A line with rookie LT, Glenn, Wood, Urbik, and Clabo or Glenn, Warmack, Wood Urbik, and Clabo sounds awfully good to me. Then Hairston, Brown, and Pears provide excellent depth. Levitre would instantly become a distant memory as our offensive line would be better than it was with him. I want Dion Jordan period. If he's there it takes me less than 10 seconds to make my selection. IMO our D-line/Pass rush is our next best chance to have a great unit somewhere. All indications are he won't be there. I also agree with Bill Parcels assessment that pass rushing LB's are his favorite postion for maximum value. If neither of these strategies happen I then turn my hopes into drafting Ogletree. He plugs a major hole in our defense. What say you?

What if the team at 11 wants to trade up, who's worthy of the 11th pick that's not at 8? If no one, what pick do players in this years draft start becoming worthy to you? I love how someone makes such a demonstrative statement then wants everyone else to give the answers to support it.

I still think Brandon Lloyd could help this team. I understand there's a rumor of him not being that great of a teammate, but chemistry is about 4th on the list right now, we need someone that can catch some balls and get open. I think he can still do that. He's not exactly Titus Young nuts. Our receiver situation is such a major concern to me. At this point we have to rely on Graham and Easley to instantly become major contributors. That scares the hell out of me.

Perfectly said Sir!

I absolutely love when things like this happen. It's the ultimate shut up to those that bash the FO for every single player that doesn't sign with us.

This is the same women that claimed she got hit by Beast Mode. She can't stay out of the news.

That tricky liar used Buffalo to get that sweetheart lucrative 1 year deal worth less than half what he made the previous year.

"Of course, that also suggests over 50 percent of "winning games" is unrelated to "drafting well," It's quotes like this that make me so frustrated. To me it points to one simple thing. You either have a QB or you don't.
