Ralph is cheap.

The coaxing would be the other way around.

I think it's hurting our kids because we won't tell them about winning. My son is in a 7-8 yr old machine pitch league and they don't keep score so the kids who lose won't feel bad. Your point is taken about the parents, but I see nothing wrong with teaching kids 8 and 9 about winning and losing. Lot of good lessons can be taught through it that build our kids.

Now you completely changed the argument. My argument was that if someone wanted to buy the Bills and keep them in Buffalo, the NFL would not stop that. And they wouldn't. Why because the Buffalo Bills are a viable franchise, partly and importantly because of their fan base. Not all NFL owners think they're subsidizing small market teams, only the big market teams do, hence there was revenue sharing voted by NFL owners, so you're wrong there. So the only one drooling to get a team in the #2 market is an owner that wants to purchase a team, but the owner that wants to buy the Bills and keep them in Buffalo will and the NFL won't stop it.

Corporate money doesn't help the NFL, it helps the owner make more money. The NFL doesn't get a cut of corporate money the team brings in. You're kidding yourself if you don't think fan loyalty plays a huge part. But we will soon find out. When Mr. Wilson passes and the team moves regardless of a buyer wanting to keep the team in Buffalo, you will be right. If they stay I will be. And if you think there's limited corporate money in Buffalo you've failed to look at several other cities that have NFL teams. But maybe you think the NFL wants them out too.

I hope he improof's this year.

Jamie Dukes is an argumentative a hole. Did you hear him baiting Stevie Johnson at the end of the interview when he was mocking Fitz?

I'd be smiling too if Dareus fell to me and It was my job to make the pick. This kid is going to be special, at least I feel that way. I think he's the type of player that changes things in that he'll have an effect on everyone around him, and that's just his play on the field. He is also a great person, which isn't easy to find. He is truly the best of both worlds.

Matthews didn't exaclty have to compete with guys like Lynch and Jackson, two excellent runners in their own right. He had to compete against Tolbert and Sproles, not all that difficult to get playing time. Spiller is a superior athlete and talent than Matthews and we'll see the seperation this year.

Nothing against PTR, but the statement "The NFL wants out of Buffalo" is absurd. The NFL thrives in Western New York and I wish numbers could be put on how many NFL ticket sales are due to Buffalo Bills fans. The only thing and I mean only thing Buffalo is missing is a new stadium, and I think this happens as soon as new ownership arrives. But that has nothing to do with the NFL, it would only help the new owner make money. Why would the NFL hate a fan base that fills their stadium, spends money on NFL apparel like mad, has out of town fans litered throughout the country, huge ratings came out of western new york for the draft and those same fans probably support the NFL networks ratings in big numbers, and is one of the founding teams of the league? Doesn't add up.

Names like these will always be high on the list because of the amount of balls thrown to them. But to bring up this list doesn't discount Stevie having a real problem with droping balls.

I agree. The ball seems to move in his hands even when he makes the catch. It just doesn't make that latching feel/sound as soon as it hits his hands. I could also tell on several receptions it causes him to hesitate and cost him from being able to turn up field by taking that extra second to secure the ball.

Good tip, thank you.

I will to, your post are so ridiculous they're unreadable. You're just that guy that argues in circles and can't admit when you're wrong. I find you incredibly boring.

Yes we know, that's why he made the statement the OP meant passing and receiving. Unless you honestly think he meant all purpose and that he hopes he has less yards this year? Can you really think that's what he meant? I think your just trying to nitpic to continue your negative rant.

You are a true class act <edited for quoted post>

I think he said a bit more than just "I don't think people should celebrate killing". You can't seriously think that's what sparked the controversy?

I think the Bills would have considered trades had Dareus not been there. Once he was there, they weren't going to trade.

Agree. Just a guy trying to get a reaction.

Neither did Devon Thomas or Malcolm Kelly.

Absolutely not. I just have this strong feeling he's going to be a problem.

We better resign him. I know he catches a lot of heat around here, but I consider him the number one priority. Then a close second, Poz. I know neither of these guys are wow players, but they play a solid role and they contribute more than we give them credit for.

One down year and you want to get rid of the guy? Cmon man, let's worry about this in a few years. Guys only 35.

He'll likely be a safety.

I'm ok with the draft so I'll give it a B-. I just hope we don't regret not taking Brooks Reed or Kaepernick in the 2nd, those were the two players I would have rather had.
