  1. The fact that we went hard after Meachem makes me think we might take Floyd if he's there at 10. I don't know enough about him to say if we should or not. I actually would prefer a LT with the first pick. I think we're thinner at that position than WR. But at 10 you have to get a starter so to me that's more important than which position you take. I'm just hoping that Easley can stay healthy so we can see what he can do. He looked like he had potential coming out of college but he really hasn't had a chance to prove anything in the NFL.
  2. This is so Flutie vs Johnson. Sure will be fun watching another team implode.
  3. Or did they? Why would the Broncos take less value than they could've received?
  4. What makes you think that Tebow had any say in the matter? He was under contract and didn't have a no trade clause. If the offers were the same maybe his opinion might matter some. He went to the Jets because they offered an extra 6th round pick. Plain and simple.
  5. No, getting Buddy and Chan was the start. Them bringing in The Stache was another step.
  6. Tom Brady reports that Anderson was so thoroughly dissatisfied with his hotel room that he left before even checking in.
  7. Didn't even think about Kyle's operation. He said his foot had been bothering him for a long time. Just think how dominant he'll be with it at 100%.
  8. Who cares about Arizona's WR? We need our QB to look as good as he did the beginning of the last year.
  9. This is the first time I've heard Ralph talking seriously about his mortality. For years he's joked about it but this seems different. I wonder if this means he is also making plans for the team's transition for when he's gone.
  10. I agree that our backups got some needed experience but our depth is lacking. We barely had enough legitimate starters at LB let alone quality backups. And our depth at WR and DB is not much better. We're still working on getting bonafide starters at every position. Improving our depth will take some time yet.
  11. Relax, the last flight out of Buffalo already left and they're not going to send him away on the private jet.
  12. Just like the players had to learn how to win, the fans need to learn how to act when we're winning. After 12 years of misery we don't know what to do when the team is good and actually winning more than losing.
  13. OK, let's leave the 80 yard run in the equation. So we have a 1 in 16 chance of running 80 yards and a 15 in 16 chance of running 2.7 yards. If we happen to get the 80 yard run (ok, 27) then we score right away and the Giants have too much time remaining just like the pass everyone is b!tching about! Let's try to figure out the best possible scenario: we run the ball on every down and gain just enough for the first down each time. There's 4:10 remaining from the 27 and we can run at most 35 seconds off the clock. After 3 downs we run off 1:45 so 1st down at the 16 with 2:25 remaining. After first down you're at the 12 and at the 2 minute warning. The next play you're at the 9, the Giants call time out with 1:55 remaining. 2nd we're at the 5 with 1:50 remaining and the Giants use their last timeout. At this point we HAVE to get the first down at the 2 or we kick the field goal with about 1:20 remaining. If we get the first down (and don't score a touchdown) we kneel a couple times and kick the field goal. So theoretically we could've run the clock out on a last second field goal. The problem is, 1) there is no guarantee we could run that effectively (and in the latter part of the game we couldn't), and 2) everything would have to go right (including not gaining too many yards on a play and getting a first down before running 3 plays). Personally I liked the call. I was so sick and tired of Jauronball (playing not to lose). Fitz made a bad pass. If it was good we get the touchdown and the Giants have 4 minutes to TIE THE GAME. Guess what, they might leave us some time to get into field goal range. To me we could play this "what if" game forever (and we probably will for at least the next 2 weeks ) but I'd rather be agressive and play to win rather than sit back and play not to lose. Its just what winning teams do.
  14. I agree. But its a negotiation, each side overstates their position and they compromise somewhere in between. I think he's probably worth $8 mil but will probably get a bit more than that.
  15. Last night Murph said the Bills were negotiating with Fitz. The Bills offered $7 million for 4 to 5 years and Fitz's agent was asking for $10 million.
  16. I bet Nix/Gailey come up with a "none of the above" option that actually contributes.
  17. We get 7 picks. I'm sure we can add to both. Plus the OL is looking good right now and Hairston adds depth whether he's the backup or Bell is.
  18. That sounds expensive but considering how much a ticket alone costs its probably not a bad deal.
  19. I was calling for us to go for it right away. There was 1:23 left. That was plenty of time for Philly to mount a drive. They had been moving the ball well on us the previous few series so I think giving them the ball was taking a chance. If we don't make the first, they get the ball near the 50 and possibly leave us time for a field goal try if they do score. But I think we would've made it anyway on a QB sneak.
  20. This is what I'm thinking. And maybe the lease agreement contains wording that says the Bills can't be moved. The current lease had some kind of agreement like that with a buyout option after a certain number of years with the amount decreasing towards the end of the agreement. If Ralph was smart he would've died last year when there was no estate tax. He's always a year or two late with everything. (J/K)
  21. Very few fans from Buffalo will pay the premium ticket price to watch a game up there. Plus the game day experience is way better at the Ralph.
  22. I think they said they hadn't blown the whistle to start the half.
  23. The Patriots defense is horrible too. They aren't going anywhere this year either.
