I will go back to the 2006 draft, the organization was left in shambles by the bungling Tom Donahoe. We had just brought in Marv and there was hope that he was going to bring us back to the glory years. With the 8the pick there was some serious talant on the board and we take Donte Whitner. A guy we probably could have gotten if we had still traded down and some even had 2nd round grades on. We then procced to trade back into the first round and who do we take Jon McCargo. Yeah for me that was the moment I look back on as the crossroads of the drought and we took the road that kept us futile for the next 10 years. Interesting to note I would say in the drought era we probably got the best draft pick in that draft based on value with Kyle in the 5th round.

My source is Two Bills Drive!

4 of the last 6 games are at home that could really help us down the strech.

Love it!! No Thursday game and my Sundays will consist of Bills, beer, wings an nap!

Even though I didn’t think there was a place for him on the Bills this year and trading him was definitely the right move, especially for what we got, I am rooting for him to have continued success in the league.

If I could choose I would have all 1 PM (noon my time) games.

This is a more general question about development projects in Buffalo having moved away from the area 10 years ago. Is it even possible to get through all the bureaucracy to actually build a stadium downtown? I remember they couldn’t even figure out how to build a Bass Pro shop. If the same red tape is in place something tells me a new stadium might be a little bit more tricky.

People sometimes use the retractable roof stadium in Indy as an example for what Buffalo should build. Having been there for two Bills games on both occasions it felt more like going to church than a football game the atmosphere was so mellow and quiet . Maybe it is just the culture of the Indy fan base but I would fear the Bills would lose a part of their identity if something like that were built.

I saw that too, way to leave every Bills fan on Twitter hanging Shday! Lol

Was Cap Capi capped because of the salary cap?

My lord can you imagine a championship parade marching through Olean and Allegheny?!

I went up to Green Bay last time we played you there back in 2010. It was such an amazingly fun time I almost foget how badly we lost too you guys. I think that was Captain Check downs last game as a Bill. I would love to go back this year so definitely early in the season when the weather is still warm.

For some reason I enjoy reading these in the same manner that I read a fortune cookie or a horoscope.

I actually wish Donahoe had done that in 2004.

It seemed he was decent at drafting but that trade we made for Rob Johnson after I believe he had only played one game. Giving up the 9th overall pick and a 4th then signing him to a massive contract. It can be argued that move set things in moition for the drought era to begin a couple years later.

Man they reall do look like the Buffalo Destroyers Arena football uniforms.

“Raw talent” heard that one a lot when we drafted EJ Manuel.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha did a double take I thought it was for the 5th pick.

Kind of appalling the way most of the media frame this so called discussion on guns. The way many make it seem is if you support gun rights or the second amendment you are on the same level of a mass murderer. Not a conversation I want to be a part of.

That is an excellent point possibly without Ralph’s shrewdness and business sense there would not be an AFL-NFL merger let alone a Bills team today.

Hahahahahahaha I thought the same thing but at this point I think he doesn’t have many reasons to lie about his experience with the Bills organization nearly 50 years ago.

I know he is an infamous figure but he does give some insights into Ralph in the 60’s and 70’s in his first interview since getting out of prison. The qoute where he says Ralph declared he didn’t want a championship that would mean giving all the players a raise is believable. http://buffalonews.com/2018/03/16/the-o-j-simpson-interview-on-prison-retirement-and-football/

I think we will be fine. If not this would be the worst snub in NCAA history (I am a little bias as a Bona alumn though)

The lock out of 2011 was a rare occasion of a labor dispute actually improving the league. Ending these ridiculous rookie contracts and creating a wage scale was very important. Aaron Maybin’s holdout amd subsequent contract comes to mind.

Ole Incarcerated Bob (or Inaccurate Bob as I like to call him) said that the Bills were the team that offered a 2nd for Foles.
