It could be worse, you could be paying $100 extra for a service that is standard with almost every other channel! (like HD subscribers did last year) Get an HDTV and you'll wonder why you didn't 5 years ago.

Nice! I bitched a lot about the $100 HD charge.

I wouldn't say he is self-righteous as I don't follow him that much... but I would say he is driving the team into the ground. The only good thing about this last draft was that the Broncos screwed theirs up more than we screwed up ours

I agree. That is why I don't think that big guy Something Gailey MIGHT change. Who knows what will happen. An over the hill middling coach who failed in college isn't exactly worth much optimism. You should really stop using this response. You yourself said the Tebow thing was a mess, you admitted that NFL scouts / talent people make mistakes. Game, set, match.

Incorrect assumption yet again, and you're puttin' up that strawman yet again. I want to hear your opinion on the Denver draft of Tebow because your opinion is that NFL teams always scout and draft well and we shouldn't question their judgment. Yes Nope, you're doing the whole strawman thing again. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man Please don't do that. Incorrect Troup was a reach, that kid out of South Dakota State Tech Comm. College was a reach Incorrect, you shouldn't try to invalidate people's opinions by calling them whines. We already spent a majority of our draft on offense - CJ Spiller when we didn't need him What do you think is the percent chance Gailey and Nix will be here in four years? I'm going with 15%.

Lol, I'm not complaining at all. I think you should re-read the posts, Mike. I wasn't proven wrong about any of those things. Dwan Edwards did fail two physicals. Other teams' garbage. Christ you're dense. Quit putting words in my mouth. No I didn't nearly want Tim Tebow with the 9th pick. You're being really obtuse here. Again, you're being dense. That isn't true at all, Mike. And we haven't even made any free agent moves to shore up the worst QB corps in the league in years. Incorrect again. We have glaring needs and none were addressed, instead we chose a player who will be part-time. There is definitely a disconnect with reality you're presenting here. We can't afford to take the best athlete, especially since we already have two starting RBs. Who could afford to pick an athlete? NYJ or NE. Not us. It wouldn't have been a reach to take a tackle or QB that would be the future of our team. instead we reached on players we could have signed undrafted Lol, you're so off-base it is almost unbelievable. I suggest you re-read the posts again instead of stamping your feet and yammering on about how IF YER NOT WITH US YER AGAINST US!!!!!

Incorrect. I've shown numerous stats proving people wrong. You have made statements like "Defense wins championships" which again was wrong. You have compared LT to Spiller simply because Buddy 'picked' both of them with no statistical evidence. Nope, I'm saying Chandler and Buddy aren't gonna be much better and to expect them to be is irrational. I'm not sure if you've read anything I've posted. And haha, you still haven't answered the question.

Also, you haven't posted what you thought about Denver's gambit with Mr. Tebow. Obviously they know all, and we're just joes.

The best QB in league history who went up against the #1 defense last year with the #1 CB in the league and threw for 377 yards and 3 tds and 0 ints He also threw for over 300 yards against the Saints, 31/45, hardly shut down I think he is the only person I've seen grade this draft high at all. Latch on to that one, buddy I'll probably be optimistic by season start, but so far this offseason there has been nothing to make any rational Bills fan optimistic. Except the Jags are in a worse situation than us re: moving the team. edit: sheeple, lol. keep justifyin'.

The Saints had the #25th ranked defense in terms of yards per game last year No doubt the run D had to be fixed. Part of that was injuries related to Dicky J not getting the team in shape. Does the new regime seem to be more motivated? Eh. Buddy just seems like he wants to sleep a lot. Fixed it for you. You can continue trying to say that I'm just parroting them, but you're still wrong and ignorant. The stats and play on the field last year tells anyone who isn't blind as a bat that we needed a new QB and LT. If you're really that much smarter than these media types, tell me, did you enjoy seeing Denver wasting a ton of future potential to draft Tebow to sit on the bench? I mean obviously these guys "know who they want", and we're just regular joes, we don't know anything, right? Tell me you liked that pick and what they gave up to do it.

Fixed that for you

That doesn't mean they'll be the same at all. What were our biggest needs this draft? QB and LT. That is an undeniable fact. We drafted a T in the 5th round who is a project and a QB in the 7th round who may never see the field in the NFL. Troup probably won't play much this year. We need players who will contribute now. You do realize that the first time we make the playoffs we'll stop hearing about "Buffalo is moving!!!", right? Buffalo can't afford another 3 years of rebuilding followed by another coach and GM. It just can't.

Not if he wants to get another contract after Buddy and Chandler have wasted his talent. Haha, care to mention how you came to the Spiller = LT connection? Perhaps Nix was looking for waterbugs at OT. There isn't a correlation there. I'd appreciate it if you would quit it with this bull. I've been a Bills fan for over 20 years and I deserve to post here just as much as you do. Probably more, since you can't go one post without telling me to go away because I don't agree with you. Nope, and don't put words in my mouth thanks. We have a middling coach now who was a surprise hire for almost everyone because there were much better candidates. Our GM can't wake up to start the free agency season. We picked tons of guys from tiny schools and didn't address our needs at all. You can't draft the best athlete available if you can't afford to, and we definitely can't afford to.

Lynch had a 1,000 yard season in both 2007 and 2008. The first Bills rookie to do that since Greg Bell! How long do you think Spiller is going to last? RBs are notoriously quick to get run down. The suspension thing is pure speculation - nobody knows anything about how that is going to play out. If you look at the facts, it is clear why it was a bad move: We had two 1,000 yard backs We showed no confidence in them by drafting ANOTHER rb We showed all the confidence in the world in the worst set of QBs in the league We don't have a great LT With our first choice, we chose a player that won't play every down. That was evident throughout this draft - Buddy and Chandler didn't really care about players who would play, just players from the south from tiny schools who were 'waterbugs' or 'insert any other idiotic buzzword here'.

The year before LT was drafted, SD had Jermaine Fazande and Terrell Fletcher. Together they rushed for about 600 yards. Definitely not two 1,000 yard backs So in answer to my previous question, No.

Did he draft a halfback in the first round when there were other glaring needs that could have been filled and they already had two starting halfbacks?

At some point Buffalo idealists (and hell, I'm an idealist, but maybe I'm just disillusioned with the whole Chan Gailey signing when we could have gotten someone so much better) are going to realize that every single other person besides them can't be wrong. I really would love to see some Buffalo idealists tell me what they think of Denver's Tebow move. Hell, none of us are NFL scouts, so we can't be right at all can we? It isn't even "in their minds" regarding the two biggest holes. We still don't have a QB that could start anywhere else in the league, we still don't have a LT and they haven't made any effort to get one besides the thrown bone in the 5th round. We do however have three starting halfbacks!

He performed admirably for a rookie in a "COLD WEATHER SITUATION" where "HE'S A CALIFORNIA BOY HURR HURR..." Dwan Edwards failed two physicals. I forgot we didn't sign Wade Smith Andra Davis didn't get resigned by the Browns, I'm sure he'll do fine here riding the bench. You need to take a step back and look at what you're saying here. You're being totally flippant. I'm sorry your view is not realistic, but you're not providing any real statistics or smart arguments - you're just flying off the handle into superfan-zubaz mode. I realize most media outlets are shunned here since "they just don't understand the Bills... If they were so smart, they'd be NFL scouts! HURR HURR" but I'd suggest listening to NFL Radio on Sirius sometime, you'll become a better fan and step up past that blind "IF YOU AIN'T WITH US YER AGAINST US!" level.

He had 5 in October, which is surely not 'bad weather'. In the playoffs vs Cinci in 'actual' bad weather he led his team to victory with great numbers (and then took his team deep in the playoffs). Chad Henne was a first year starter last year. You can look at single game stats all day but their QB situations are much better than ours, they had better drafts, they picked up actual free agents (not the Raiders' and Chiefs' trash).

Pennington or Henne are just fine at winning games. Both teams had a better draft than us as well. The Cali QB thing isn't proven by the stats... Sanchez is 10 times the QB that Trent / Brian / Levi / Fitzy put together are.

I don't see us "only getting better". Last year was a terrible season and we have a new HC and a new defensive set and the same crappy quarterbacks. We got lucky a few times last year but Miami and NYJ have only improved. We're in an arms race and we're freakin' Mexico. Hell, I wouldn't even say we've improved at HC. A middling NFL coach who failed in college and wants to run the waterbug offense...

More like "Mired in trouble for the 2000's". I'm almost always Mr. Optimism when it comes to the Bills (I supported Rob Johnson!) but this season looks like it'll be very tough to watch.

When we drafted a halfback in the first round and that is arguably our only solid position and we didn't draft our two biggest needs (QB, LT) and signed a bunch of players from tiny schools it is hard to see any direction. I don't blame Faulk or the other guy for saying that.

I may not like the pick, but each one of these videos I watch sways me a little more. We'll probably ruin the guy's career, but dang (as Chandler and Buddy would say) this kid looks like his legs are gonna fall off every time he has the ball, he is running so fast and hard.

Cowherd is wrong like usual, just trying to piss people off.
