34-78-83

Looks like pure unfounded speculation to me. How is yours any different than anyone elses?

The Vikes would have to give up more than just their 2nd to move from 17 to 8 for me to be happy

I actually liked Mel's picks for us atleast as much as the ones you provided.

I think he feels just a wee bit better about being a lead writer for SI than being a scout for some football team

Sorry folks, there is no "scouting service" that is going to accurately be able to predict the translation of a college player's skills to the Pros with any reliable degree of accuracy. Sure some are historically better than others, but this is not an exact science. Some posters here are merely setting themselves up to cry "chicken little" if we end up drafting this guy. Even the former scouts at Ourlads are not privy to all the same resources that active scouting staffs are. We can all pick whose evaluation we want to trust but it's much like picking Super Bowl odds. I have seen the guy (Ngata) play once and was not largely impressed but that certainly doesn't make me an expert either.

I believe they brought in Huff, the safety and Spencer, the OG from Pitt...

Seems a common....way to go.

Sep 10 @New England loss Sep 17 @Miami win Sep 24 N.Y. Jets win Oct 1 Minnesota loss Oct 8 @Chicago loss Oct 15 @Detroit win Oct 22 New England loss Nov 5 Green Bay win Nov 12 @Indianapolis loss Nov 19 @Houston loss Nov 26 Jacksonville loss Dec 3 San Diego loss Dec 10 @N.Y. Jets win Dec 17 Miami win Dec 24 Tennessee win Dec 31 @Baltimore loss Ok I'm changing my original prediction from yesterday and raising the win total by one game... 7-9

Now that's just a big crock of schit.. Have some of us gotten so bad that we can't even give credit when our average to poor team actually steps up and plays a good game? Those excuses are nothing more than just that.

I'll say a 2-6 start, and we end up 6-10 Hopefully atleast will can become a young competitive team with a future.

Samardzija is the next Joe Jurevicious. I really like everything I've seen from that guy. He really sells out to make a lot of his plays.

FWIW my mother used to do some of Tom's accounting tasks, and always said he came across as a good person, and treated her with respect...

That was one of the best episodes I've seen in the 2 seasons. Goodness there's a lot to chew on from that one

Your opinion is no more validated than his when you just make a statement that X is worth Y "because I said so".

Good post. Drew I'm sure is a much better guy off the field, and stayed healthy more often, but you can't argue with production.

Me too. The Bills had too much leverage in this to accept only a 5th. Oh well, nothing we can do about it now aye?

When you put it that way I think I am grasping your overall point much better. I guess I just feel there was a time when Ralph went from a penny pinching miser to an owner who was willing to make some sacrifices to help his franchise succeed. He has shown since the Polian era to be willing to spend money when he feels it is the right thing. There are plenty of examples of that. He will never compare to the Joneses (pun intended) of the league who have 10 times the resources and side money to put back into the team, but lucky for us, good NFL teams generally aren't built just by throwing cash at a bunch of high priced players.

Your points seem to have come with a lot of thought, whether they are realistic or not. I think there would be a lot fewer Bills supporters around here if many of us agreed with this this theory. Certainly if I agreed with you I wouldn't waste my time being a fan of the team.

How 'bout we stop worrying about how the kid looks in the public eye and just let the damn thing play out without shoving unfounded opinions down each other's throat 20 times a day.

All those stories you refer to have originated from one story. See the copy/paste reference KTFABD provided.

How does his leverage look when he is tied up with a blocker. How is his hand fighting ability? Sorry, 2 questions

There is more than one formula or approach for a successful defense. Also, Fletch originally came into his own playing in a scheme behind a 270 lb and a 280 lb DT.

Exxxxcellent!

I'm pretty sure we re-signed Haggan.

If I were Moulds I'd be slapping my agent around by now if they've truly agreed on that figure.
