  1. Manuel Wright......would have been S.C.'s best lineman this year.

     

    Definitely a top 3 offensive lineman in the country.  Bills should pull the trigger.

     

    How does the supplemental draft work anyways? 

     

    Do they go off this year's order?

    334923[/snapback]

    Unlike the traditional April NFL Draft, the draft order will be determined by a lottery and will be conducted via email. The supplemental draft is done by e-mail. Each NFL team will have the option of making a selection or passing on making a selection. If an NFL team opts to make a selection, it forfeits a corresponding draft pick in next April’s draft.

    Per FF Mastermind.com

  2. What about Steve Christie or Martin Gramatica?  Honestly, at least Gramatica has the talent to suceed in the NFL...much more than Brien does anyways.  A change of environment (and not regulating him to kickoff duties like Indy did) might do wonders for him.

     

    Also, keep an eye out on Paul Edinger...he's likely to be cut by the Bears.

    Of all those mentioned Brien's 81.1 FG % ranks highest. He hit 82.8 last season including 11 of 13 from 40 plus yards. Yet his stats could be skewed due to playing a majority of his games in a dome.

     

    In order they rank career wise:

     

    Brien 81.1%

    Christie 78%

    Gramatica 76.5%

    Lindell 76.2%

    Edinger 75.3%

  3. There were 4 teams left at that time, and the 3rd place team would NOT lose their money.  The last place team was eliminated; the only time you "only" lose your money is when it's a non-elimination round and anybody who has watched the show knows that there's a non elimination round when they get down to three teams.

     

    If they would've yielded Uchenna and Joyce, those two would've been elininated (because the bus thing was pretty close if I recall) and Meredith/Gretchen would've been in the final three.  Rob and Amber would've cleaned house.

    In yielding POW & Beauty Queen, Rob was hoping the other teams would leap frog ahead, and thusly eliminate, of what he felt was his biggest competition. As up to that point in the game Ron & Kelly were almost always finishing 2nd behind Rob & Amber.

  4.  

    I for one would be very disappointed if the Bills were to ever be relocated or to change any part of their name. Other than wanting to see the Bills win a Super Bowl during my lifetime, I would also like very much for Mr. Wilson to experience this privilege as in any other long time, die hard Buffalo fan.

    333255[/snapback]

    Actually you should thank Eddie Hayes and Nick Kerbawy as per BB.com they suggested to Wilson that he put the team in Buffalo only because his first choice (Miami) wouldn't let him play games in the Orange Bowl.

  5. Funny you should mention the Daredevil movie, the new Ghost Rider flick is directed by the same guy... :o

     

    But Cage should fill the Ghost Rider role better than Affleck did with Daredevil.  Just by talent alone, Cage is a MUCH better actor than Affleck will ever be, and the whole John Blaze/Ghost Rider persona is this brooding and depressed guy who lost his family...and Cage proved he could pull that character off pretty well in the 2nd half of Face/Off.

     

    I'm more interested in the Fantastic Four movie thats coming out in a few months...that looks really good in the trailers.

    330566[/snapback]

    Yeah but will Cage land a chickadee in the Jennifer Garner class that Affleck ended up with? But seriously with all the talk of Cage movies, I'm shocked no one mentioned Matchstick Men yet which next to Raising Arizona might be hist best piece of work.

  6. Who is Gauss by the way?  I know Ware was Dallas' 1st round OLB/DE, right?

     

    He might have a chance at OT...  Interesting and I did not know he played well in the Senior Bowl.  How did he practice, anybody read anything about that?

    331059[/snapback]

    I'm guessing he means DE George Gause, whom we signed as an undrafted free agent.

  7. I thought they might have worked together, but wasn't sure.  If that's the case, Gragg might want to end his career with McNally.  And the fact the Bills are a team on the rise might make them attractive as well.

     

    I know this has been discussed ad nausum, but if we got a ROT like Gragg, could the "svelte" MW possibly shift over to the left side or would that just be too big a disruption of the OL continuity?

    331022[/snapback]

    Considering Anderson's making the shift from RG to LG, I don't like the idea of Williams (or Teague) moving to LT unless we're forced to because of injuries. I think the plan is to try out Gandy at the start of the year, if he struggles than McFarland will get a shot and possibly Peters. Though personally don't think we have Jonas Jennings' replacement on the roster right now, it could come in a June 1 cut or in the 1st Round of the 2006 Draft at pick 12 - 15.
  8. I guess Gragg plays ROT, so he probably couldn't slide over to the left side side. But I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on him anyway.  He seems like a savy vet that McNally might be able to use if he comes at the right price:

    330988[/snapback]

    If looking for savy vets, I think the best choice would be Bob Whitfield. He's far from the player he was in his hay days in Atlanta but think he might be able to fill in for a game or two or even pass on some knowledge to guys like Gandy or McFarland or possibly Peters.
  9. Question. Could there be more of an emphasis on the FB position now that the TE position is getting thin, especially one who has pass catching abilities? If so, then this could be an even more available resource of talent.

    330837[/snapback]

    By using the Steeler teams that Mularkey coached with as examples, it seems to me that the TEs and FBs were low on the perverbial totem pole with regard to the passing game. I suspect the same will hold true here in Buffalo.

    I think it be realistic to expect our offensive numbers to mirror Mularkey's 2001 season with the Steelers as think Losman is closer to Kordell Stewart than Tommy Maddox in terms of NFL skills right now. One thing I think we'll see more of this year is a quicker move the chains passing game than we did with Bledsoe.

  10. Don't forget Matt Kofler, Willie Totten and Brian McClure.  God those were dark days.  An entire generation of fans has grown up since then, so they're excused, but I have no patience for people my age and older who didn't become Bills fans until AFTER those dark days had passed.

    Everyone forgot to mention a certain QB we drafted out of Maryland in 1985 by the name of Reich, who aside from Fergy was the only true QB the Bills ever deveolped. As Kemp came from San Diego, Kelly from the USFL, RJ from Jacksonville, Flutie from the CFL and Bledsoe from New England. Of course time will only tell what Losman will become.

  11. I saw this a few days ago. If Matthews doesnt come back what about bringing this kid back to camp to see what he can do?

    329148[/snapback]

    How quickly some forget that Hasselbeck was originally signed by the Bills as an UDFA in 2001 but was released before camp started. Infact if read his profile at Redskins.com you'll discover that 3 other teams besides the Bills and 'skins (Philly, Baltimore and Carolina) have let this guy go and he'll likely be nothing more than a 3rd QB in the NFL which are truely a dime a dozen.

  12. I have a masters from UB and am looking there for a PhD but the one thing that I don't like is the North Campus, a giant, cold, uncomfortable concrete jungle with disgusting architecture, including the Ellicott Complex, where I'd be spending my time. But the price is right and the department, unlike the law school <_<!, was ranked in top 10!

     

    From what I've been told, despite it's ranking (third tier I believe), that UB law is not exactly easy to get into without knowing someone. But if you get in, great price!

    327563[/snapback]

    Come on now anyone that went/goes to UB knows the correct name for the Ellicott Complex is Lego Land.

  13. and you have an old Bledsoe jersey.  And saying he keeps number eleven.  Well there's your answer to what to do with it!  Scrape off the name and sew Parrish on the back, that's what I plan on doing!  If the Bills were smart they  should make him pick a new number....  :blink:

    325615[/snapback]

    He could very well change to 81 if Rodney Trafford gets released.

  14. John Clayton's reporting that the Bills might look to add a veteran like Marcellus Rivers or Fred Baxter before camp. (somewhat good news on KE, too).

    It only makes sense we sign one of the two considering we worked both out prior to drafting Everett. I prefer Rivers as he's younger and can contribute on special teams if he needs to be moved further down the depth chart if/when Campbell/Euhus are healthy enough to contribute full time.

  15. unreal. I thought for SURE they would tone it down to ease back into the national spotlight. Boy, was i wrong... One of the funniest ones ever. The scene with Pinocchio and Gepetto was unreal. I dont know what was more tasteless, Gepetto trying to get Pinocchio to have sex with him or Chris Rock offering Jesus a joint...

    325167[/snapback]

    That was Chris Tucker not Chris Rock.

  16. :lol:

    That is like a fat guy saying "Gravity just likes me better than you", or me saying my hair likes my pillow more than my head. 

     

    I suppose its OK, because I can be charming sometimes, and that never hurts with the ladies!

    Another good zinger for those that make fun of you is to tell them God created a few perfect heads. The rest he covered with hair.
