Could not have said it better myself. Thanks!

I've been waiting for one of you to notice and point this out. You are exactly correct. Good eyes!

Haven't read all the replies but no I disagree about what beats the Pats. What is needed is a strong middle rush. Brady Laughs at the edge rush. Push up the middle is the only thing that consistently gives him fits.

Na , I was worried about Leotis based on the words of the TV and radio announcers, but when I actually watched the whole game, after I got done coaching my son's game, i noticed he played a lot better than they made it sound. The one long pass was a perfect throw to a speedster and other than that he missed 2 tackles on guys that weren't his initial responsibility and got sucked inside (along with Merriman) on one outside running play. Not great, but certainly not what it was being made out to be.

David Nelson is arguably our 2nd best WR... If not he's 3rd. He keeps the sticks moving and has good hands and plays well in traffic. There is ZERO chance the Bills will even be considering cutting David Nelson.

Or maybe the TE position isn't too integral to the planned scheme. Much like last year, guys like David Nelson ( quite a promising possession guy) and Brad Smith for that matter, can fill that role in the spread offense Chan likes to have Fitz run. If they get a guy like that that's great too, but it's just what it appears like when looking at their offense.

Condolences to you Scott.

No Rudolph on the board either?

Yes!!!! Love the pick!

There hasn't been a D-Lineman any where near the capabilities of Bruce Smith since he retired. Not even close. Not Peppers, Not Mario, Nobody. I'd be happy with Fairley but I like Dareus better as a player , not just as a safer pick.

I haven't seen a ton on either guy but from what I HAVE seen, Dareus is just as good as Fairley.

One thing is clear.. Brohm doesn't have the clock in his head that Fitz does. Fitz made this group look better than they should have at times. Actually more than that... often.

Where were all these posters with foresight last week on TBD?

And neither would Chris Johnson for that matter

He's a shoe in Pro bowler if this team has a better record. That's really all there is to it. All the not big enough or strong enough or fast enough has been debunked 10 times over by Kyle on the field all year long, and he's got very little help.

Yawn

If it were coaches making all the decisions in the NFL there would be no such thing as long term planning. Coaches are only 'somewhat' involved in such thinking at best in general. Other than that, repeating what you already said isn't really adding anything here. Big picture scenarios are real things that Gm's and Owners employ throughout the NFL, regardless of the perspective of coaches and fans at times. I'm sorry you don't see the lack of concern for Spiller's immediate production coming from multiple angles within the organization. More of your "facts" you list are actually opinions just like everybody else. "Teams will NEVER Bla bla bla" whatever

Nah... I would never say I "know" . I'll leave that to you. You can't back up what you're saying about Spiller as fact just the same. Not one thing you said proves that. Saying you know doesn't cut it. It's not a tough concept really... You organize a business plan within your organization to regain a measure of long term success. A draft pick comes a long that is a game-breaker whom you think will help you greatly as that plan comes to life, even though you already have a couple really good guys at his position. He is rated higher on your draft board by a mile than any other player thats up there still....so you take him. As you begin to implement season 1 of the plan, you are not too concerned with wether he is approved by fans with little to no attention span or long term view. You hope he gets in there, learns a little, get's used to the speed of the NFL. Your goal however is for him to be ready when your team is ready to make a run for real contention. And please don't generalize about my posts... I've seen hundreds of you come and go since the early days of this board. Move on to something else if my opinion or concept is too mindblowing for you to jive with. Opinions are encouraged here. So in saying that, I understand your 'opinion' and if you have nothing to add then just move on.

It's great you're rooting for this kid but..... Elway?...Seriously? How bout shooting for Craig Morton first?

Until the Bills prove otherwise, the most we can hope for is staying with them for a few quarters. The Pats are too consistent and multi-faceted on offense for us I think., and too opportunistic in the clutch.

Sorry , Still think what I'm saying is true. Your capital letters, name-calling and stats didn't convince me otherwise. Also, nowhere did I say they were "saving him" re: Spiller or Bush... If he got on the field, so be it... If not so much, that's ok too. because they knew they weren't winning football games this year. This is the 1st year of an actual building project. Something that hasn't been attempted since early in the Donahoe era. It's been patches and band-aids since then. And Bush wasn't forced on the field either, but they didn't know about the quality of the other backs there quite yet in his 1st year. Anyway, I'm quite sure of what I'm saying being true... as sure as one can be without working in the organization.

I don't think they'd admit it, but yes he was drafted for the future and was the best player available and a game breaker type of play-maker...Yes better than the 3rd Tackle. They knew they weren't going anywhere this year, and money was certainly not an issue. Again, many reasonable fans I know agree... not all mind you. Bush was not drafted to be a savior in year one either.

Spiller was drafted for the future. No it was not a ploy by Ralph to sell tickets. What he does this year is gravy. I can't prove it but it's pretty clear to me and many other reasonably level-headed Bills fans I'm betting if you put a gun to their heads Gailey and Nix would still be happy if Spiller didn't see the field at all this season.
