hey! I wuz just readin another post about andra davis and it mentioned a guy I thought never got a fair shake in buffalo. he was big and mean, so he didn't fit our defense...the article implied he played well last year...LB mario Haggan

That's just crazy talk, football is a team game and the pats having lost a lot of talent, look beatable because of this. no doubt about it. GO BILLS!

Troup was a high 2nd rounder as well. I'm not sure were the cut-off line of what a high pick is, but a high 2nd id a high pick. Look at the Ravens and Colts for the best current GMing, but you're right, noone hits all the time. What I'm trying to say is that troup's play (because of the aforementioned reasoning) will be a good indicator, nothing more....I hope he isn't another McCargo... Spiller doesn't count because he was, by far, the safest pick in this year's draft, and maybe our staff took him for that reason.....

what error???!!!

Historically, most primo talent evaluators, hit on high picks. I don't think that it's impossible for the braintrust to do well, I think Troup's play will be a good indicator of future success.... And yes, last years draft class is looking very good, point taken! GO BILLS!

Your point about byrd, levitre and wood is well taken, but historicly, most great talent gatherers, almost always hit on their high picks and catch a couple low-ones here and there. And as far as Troup goes... there are tons of small school players that were well known before the draft and were drafted highly. McCargo and Troup are not two of them.... GO BILLS!

That's my theory, barring unpreventable things like injury, illness and other things....

I'm well aware of young linemen's rookie woes....but you can see if they have skills or not (if you watch closely or if he gets shoved down the field often). and about my Mccargo/ Troup comparison....whaddaya mean?!! It doesn't really matter what positions they play! They were both drafted way higher than expected, they were both drafted very high overall, and they were both the second selection of their draft. But I do think the fact that they are both Defensive lineman adds to the familiararity of the 2 picks.... Man you guys are a tough crowd....complaining about text size? nitpicky things,,,,maybe the poster has little computer knowledge and maybe somethin' screwy happend when he was cutting and pastin'; or somethin like that ...so picky...tsk...tsk...tsk GO BILLS!

Because he's a high pick, and a wierd pick (i.e. we took him high when most rated him a forth rounder) His play, by years end, will be a good indicator of our braintrusts (modrak, nix and the guy from pitt) abilty to draft well.... GO BILLS!

I was thinking about a fan post I read the other day, I can't remember what the title was or what it was supposed to be about.,but everyone started to talk about Torell Troup and the fact that he has to play well, for our defense to be successful. It struck me as odd because there was little disagreement on this matter. I was thinking about the truth in that summary, when it dawned on me that he has to play well for the whole team to be sucessful. Think about it, if he gets shoved all over the field this year, rookie or not, that's a lousy pick. He's a very high draft choice and Nix and Modrak stated that your ones and twos (draft choices) have to be able to play as rookies. I for one, for the most part, agree with that statement. And if he's a lousy pick, he will remind you of a another lousy pick; John McCargo. McCargo was drafted under the same circumstance as Terrel. Drafted way higher than most had him rated. This continuity suggests perhaps that the same guy drafted them, and that guy would be Tom Modrak . Not only that, but his boss, Buddy Nix approved it. So, it would suggest that it is highly likely that we will have to start from scratch soon, yet again. So if we want to learn if the Bills new braintrust knows how to find talent, and we do; Torel Troup's rookie season will be as good indicator as anything.... All Hail Torrel Troup! Terell Troup! GO BILLS

Ya know, you're right! I do need some Paxil or somethin' my god....

The dream win would be Brohm's and Meredith's, Sherlock. As well as ours, if you don't think Brohm and meredith starting and helping us beat the packers in GB at the last second would be a huge enough win for you, them or us, seriously look into getting some help.... GO BILLS!

It's a dream win for meredith and brohm....

you Bills fan...Bills get good college player....maybe good for you...cheer bills...good.

I'll post in crayon from now on.... GO BILLS!

R U kiddin' me? Brohm and Meredith team up to beat their old bosses in lambeau?! The Bills!? Everybodies last place team, The Bills, beats superbowl hopeful GB at Lambeau with 2 cast-offs and your comment is, "It's pretty bad when we'd consider it a dream to win a road game in September." jezes, take a frigin' zoloft or somthin' GO BILLS!

A Dream Win The date? - September 19th, 2010. The time? - 3:52 pm. The place? – Legendary Lambeau Field…. They’re down by 6 with 1:39 left on the clock. Old number 4 takes the field, he looks cool and calm even though he’s taken a beating all day long. He knows the defense is tired now and he knows this is his time. He reads all-out blitz, and audibles to a go route. Even though he’s engaged with a defensive end, his left tackle makes an all-pro play by picking up the blitzing linebacker with a vicious hand punch. Number four rolls right so to see in between his linemen; he knows he’s little short for an NFL QB. Nevertheless, he fires a strike, it’s good for a thirty-four yard gain. He looks up at the clock, there’s too much time, he reminds his men to stay in bounds. Now, he dissects the defense like a surgeon, inside draw, screen, slant, boom, boom, boom; their at the two. With four seconds left he calls his own number, a boot-leg left; it’s a race to the cone with the linebacker bearing down on him. He leaps into the air, and absorbs a big hit that spins him around, but somehow he lands in the end-zone. Triumphant, he gets up and slams the ball into the grass as his team mobs him. He loves all the love, but he’s looking for someone special; his left tackle. He runs to him and leaps as the big guy catches and hugs him….”We did it Jamone! We did it!” he screams. His huge protector hollers back, “Didn’t I tell you! Didn’t I tell you Bri-Bri!” The Bills win! The Bills win! Yeeeaaahhhh…..I can’t frigin’ wait! GO BILLS!

woooowoooo shuckado ran unnhhh-hh frigin' !@#$%^&* patsies hate hate hate! belicheat, superbowl, st-st-stolen! aaaarrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!! gunna kick! bleet bleet shhhhhh___ HATE 'em! GO BILLS!
