Formerly Allan in MD

Beane is no longer a rookie GM.

No, Allen needs someone who'll teach him how to protect the ball.

No kidding!

SF responded with "Yes, we like your offensive line.?

That's what other teams say when they see we have only one CB that can play.

Your satisfied with the CB situation? We have a major need there.

The dark glasses make sense.

Gervais is an ass.

Any decent free agent edge rushers out there who liked playing for this guy? Also, can he make Star a star, or at least show him how to get his uni dirty.

Ford is too slow as a tackle. Move him inside, please.

Pretty much agree, Dave. You only cut him if you're able to go elite. You may not even be able to get a low round pick for him given his salary.

Why shouldn't it be? They dissed him by not picking up his option. Now they'll pay, one way or another.

We didn't sign McCoy, we traded for him.

I'd pay Henry. That combo would be dynamite to defense.

Yes, on defense LB is a need. But corner back is perhaps a bigger one.

Perhaps this thread should have been entitled "The Unfair Catch."

Allen can have all the weapons in the world. What truly matters is what he does with them. It's perhaps analogous to a cook with oodles of good ingredients; the end item still won't taste right if the cook makes serious errors of judgement or omission. Allen does some good things but his errors have been incredibly costly, and many of them have been repeats of things he should have learned from. How many times has he taken us out of field goal range because he refused to throw the ball away? And no quarterback that fails to protect the ball game after game is going to become a respected winner, just like the cook who can't refine recipes and techniques enough to win cooking contests. I want Allen to be a top flight quarterback, just like the rest of us, but if he doesn't overcome his bad habits and refine his tendencies, no matter what additional weapons he may have next season, he'll remain erratic and continue to make costly errors. Perhaps cooking school might help.

Should have occurred before we bought into all that mularkey.

At least we won something. ?

Thanks for posting this. The memories are something else. And this a day after Duby sadly passed away. Charlie Ferguson used to come into JN Adams on Main St. and purchase men's wear from me, all 6'5" of him. And Cookie, who showed up at his first Bills camp in his gold cadillac with "Lookee lookee here comes Cookie" painted on the side.

It may sound better but may well worsen your draft position. What's more important in the big scheme of things?

Very sad. Elbert was a true trail blazer and asset to the Bills and the community.

Where would the Bills be? Confused!

If you think this board is depressing, you should peruse the Redskins' board.

Great show. But you have to pay attention.
