I am personally very interested in what Harrison Phillips can do. If he can do in the NFL what he did in college that will bring a ton of flexibility and/or rest for the rest of the D.

12/12/2010: Buffalo 13, Browns 6 The first time I could afford to go out to a Bills game as a lifelong Bills fan. We checked out Bar Bill, Niagara Falls and the Anchor Bar while in the area (I know, cliche, but had to do it). Game day it was pretty miserable (about 32 degrees but raining) and we had no idea what we were doing tailgating. Fortunately we came across some season ticket holders who had a easy-up who showed us how to have a good time and swapped food and booze. We ended up sitting in their area instead of front row end zone just for the commraderie and had a blast. It was one of the best weekends of my life. Now I make it to a game every year.

Never forget Frank Reich!

If we do get someone like Cousins and he becomes a bust, then you have to start over 2 years down the line anyway. Shore things up. I am not saying it would be anything close, but: Montana and Young, Favre and Rodgers. Start worrying about the now and the future at the same time. See what happens. The Pats* haven't spent first round picks, but they have drafted better quarterbacks than the Bills recently. Imagine having to trade away a high quality backup QB who has shown that they can start and win games just because your starting QB is so good you can't afford both. What a world that must be.

I guess I am just at the point where I think you have to load up. If someone like Cousins works out, awesome, you can trade the backup for another pick later. If not, you have another chance at getting the most important position right for a longer time than four years. I want the team to draft QBs until they get it right. If they can get the one without using a first round pick, I am fine with that too. Heck, trade back into the first with our seconds.

Sure there is. We need to hedge our bets. Don't forget Cousins was drafted in the fourth round the year RG III was drafted in the first.

I agree. There is something that is exciting about Mayfield, I think he could be for real. He seems to love the game like Favre did and can make some special plays like Brees does. I know Mayfield has had some off field issues, but I don't think he is a Johnny football type, and coach would take care of that. ...gotta say, I would probably be okay with him planting a Bills flag on Foxboro's 50 yard line after a win there. Though the league might feel differently.

I always shout "Go Bills" so the whole floor can hear it right before leaving the office every Friday. I got caught up late and forgot to do it today. I guess we'll see how that ends up working out.

I am going to go with Chris Berman Late 80's early 90's. 49'rs vs. Bills.

You must be with the wife or you could hear about it for years to come. Not worth the risk.

I would take a Ray Lewis, Zach Thomas or a Brian Urlacher over a Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, or Andre Johnson type player any day of the week, but I am a defense first kind of fan.

Jeff Samardzija, but he pitches for the Cubs now.

I'll miss him, he was fun to watch. Good luck Roscoe.

My hierarchy of hate, most hated listed first: Giants (Albany has mostly Giants fans, they suck, 20 years of hearing "wide right"), Cowboys (the Superbowls), Jets (again, awful fans in this area), Patriots, Dolphins, Texans (no love for the lone star state), Redskins (the forgotten Superbowl).
