$$$$ hinders the colts..not drafting the qb. Geez This shld pretty much end the thread. Why this is so difficult, I'll never know.... but man...

There will always be a few crazies. I dont think that'd be indicative of the fan base as a whole

Do you not? Seriously, though... there are some straight up nut balls on here, but that isnt indicative of the fan base as a whole - nor should it be. The internet is a weird place. For some people, THIS is essentially their social interaction. We remember the crazy posts because they are off the wall and some even poorly informed BUT message boards attract that. They also attract some excellent conversation and debates. I dog the folks who dont want to trade up, or even worse trade back - but at the very least I respect them in the sense MOST of them have reasoning for feeling or thinking that way EVEN if it's only sound and sensible to them and are able to convey it in a way that can be considered sensible. If you are out and about and engage in conversation of course you will find some stinkers... but for the most part I find Buffalo sports fans to be very passionate and from that comes intelligent conversation. Disagreements dont have to be solved, and disagreements dont always equal stupidity... just differing POV. So yes, as a whole I'd argue Buffalo sports fans are mostly passionate and well informed. Trading up or standing pat is small picture stuff in the big picture anyway. Right now its front and center, but just because a few idiots on here tend to be persistent isnt the full picture. There aren't a ton of sports cities that have all day sports programming on the radio for example. That isnt the case of no one pays attention and no one cares. There is a market for it, and it isnt because everyone is dumb and needs to be informed.... This board is sssssooooooo much better and sssooo much more utilized and traveled than most of the opponents teams sites. By and large it's because people as fans care, want to be involved, and maybe they even learn something. Naturally there will be something positive to come from it. Again, the stupid posts stick out but even those eventually turn into a decent thought provoking conversation or at least get pretty funny before they die their natural death. That isnt the case in other places and it's just kinda sad. Like when the Bills traded Dareus. Jags fans seriously were posting and agreeing with statements like ' who cares if he is expensive, it's only the salary cap'. Seriously? Even if someone said that here, there wouldn't be pages of people agreeing with it...

Who knows... IF they land one of the big 4 I dont think they need to be. As I mentioned in another thread, one of the circumstances of this being a unique year is that the fan base seems more willing to provide a 'pass' in the name of future success and progress. Other things include a strong qb draft class, a ton of ammo, and dead cap/future cap room. If it is a step back to make a step forward - Bills fans seem smart enough to realize and accept this (in general of course) and can deal with a year of learning with out being idiots and calling for heads to roll. Maybe last year helped prepare them to a degree and who knows - maybe they can have their cake and eat it too again this year. But, if a step back is necessary for future winning I'd hope last year gave this duo a bit more rope. Years from now who knows what they do with said rope but in the mean time last year seems to have served them well into fans buying in and understanding they are trying to build a winner which sometimes means addition by subtraction.

I hear the Pat's are clearing a little room on their bandwagon. Enticing eh???

Just take the loss my friend. There is no coming back from that one!

Sorry, didnt see that and got excited. With so much lead time and development time put into things like this I doubt they could make them just go away with a snap of the fingers. Nike also has a say to a degree as the amount of product that is manufactured etc that it would need time to be brought back down. Buffalo, along with a few other markets have had these jerseys pushed, promoted, and marketed very heavily. Wash, Cinn, and a few others dont even bother with a 'line' devoted to it and it's difficult to find them at retail after the 1st mandatory wave. The Bills have embraced it as last years RED sideline gear was held back until color rush time before it was put out as an alt option to blue and white primary colored gear.

I'd imagine we get at least one more year out of them as the Titans unveiled new ones last week UNLESS they are just turned into alts

Come back inside and let your brain thaw and try this again...

Too far down the rabbit hole. Good thing we saved our tin foil hats from Tryods Friend

The right side of the screen has a scroll function. It is your friend

Jesus, someone get this guy 'Message Board Posting For Dummies' so he at least stands half a chance... Please dont!

Go where? I hear the Alaskan Beaches are quite nice this time of year...

Right, I was more or less agreeing with you and furthering it regarding your quoted response

We except that! ?

Everyone thanks you for doing the dirty work!!!

Pick up the phone!!!!!

And of course, "their guy" lol. It's fair to point out as you say whoever is here is the one. But, if behind closed doors (and we may never know unless we get to two) I'd hope that there is one guy (whether they get him or not) that sticks out to them. Bc if so, id hope that is what spurs a move. Not simply needing a guy. I'd imagine true love works better than just simply being in a relationship bc you want a partner lol

In fairness, I think by that 2nd year when McCown came aboard he might have already been past saving. Manziel has at least said josh brought some semblance or normality but the situation that 1st year prob pushed it beyond hope. Not that you were blaming McCown- just saying.

I've also mentioned I think the ball can look REALLY awkward coming out of his hands sometimes but I could get behind building him up in the pros if needed. I often think of Andy Dalton as a fear in that we get one of these lesser guys bc the top tier is gone and then struggle with is he the guy or not for xx years. We kind of had that with taylor but were lucky enough that the regime wanted their own guy. Had Rex have been here, who knows how long tt would be at the helm. That said, if he was still here we would be winning so that might be a wash. I guess I just think abt former 2nd rounders and think man.. even though carr had a down year last year - a guy like that wld be great. But a Dalton... not so much. Tannehill was 8th overall, so it can happen in any round... but that middling is he the guy or isnt he is a tough spot. Now the Phins might be after a qb again as well and the Bengals just keep on keeping on with AD and I just think blah. I even took a look at some Dalton college highlights, and just came to the conclusion I keep coming to with everything. There are things you cant point out.. but in the end - you just dont know!

Some people complain about threads and stupid posts/posters, and some dont. Either way, THIS is a perfect example of what has gone wrong. Is it a joke? Is it serious? Is OP even a football fan? Darned if I know!

Crazy good? No - Just crazy crazy

The thing that personally I dont love about this cat is that for every excellent NFL style throw, he has a throw that wlda been picked or knocked down in the NFL- but he was saved by his receiver making a play for him. There doesnt seem to be a ton of anticipation throwing and I cant tell how many reads he is progressing through if any with any regularity. Maybe these are things he learns, but I dont get the same fuzzy feeling watching his highlights as Sam and even either josh.

I think Mr Beane is the person you need to ask. There hasn't been much that would really even let someone speculate either - although they will anywah. Maybe that's what you were after though!
