Wilson, Marv, Modrak... who is gonna play Blanche Devereux's character?
-
That's funny - but actually, Hagan reminds me more of Moulds than any college receiver I've ever seen. Same body type, explosiveness, and size/speed combination. Kid's gonna be a player.

Thank God for the Lions - the one franchise that always will be more pathetic than the Bills. Can you imagine the buffoonery of a Millen-Haslett tandem? Hopefully they'll name Tice their OC and Ditka their DC.

Eslinger is wayyyyy undersized - he weighs like 275. He will go in Round 3 or later, and he will go to Denver or Atlanta, or perhaps a WCO team. The Bills have no use for him.

Let's see how Gates performs against a weak rushing D - if he's NFL-caliber, he should have some success.
Willis may hold out next year; now's the time to see whether we should care.

Vernon Davis is our man. It would be RIDICULOUS to pass on someone like him - he is NOT a luxury pick, he is a need pick. We have not had a playmaker tight end in - well, ever. In today's NFL, a stud tight end like Davis can transform an entire offense (see: Antonio Gates), revive a QB's career (see: Drew Brees), and create opportunities for the rest of the offense because the defense will have to account for him on every play (see: Tiki Barber, b/c of Shockey).
Let me put it another way: Vernon Davis is the best TE in the draft pool in years - probably since Tony Gonzales. By contrast, Ngata is not the best DT to arrive - he's just the best of a weak draft class. Same with Ferguson/Winston. Take the real blue-chipper who is a once-in-a-lifetime pick, and rely on your scouts and pro personnel people to fill your needs through free agency and the later rounds.
VERNON DAVIS.

I still hope the Bills get Nagata, but Vernon is something special. Any one seen this video?
Amazing stuff for any receiver, let alone a tight end. He's got tree trunks for legs, and simply refuses to go down. He's only 6'3", but he has a 40" vertical.
Holy schidtt.
This is the guy I want. I'm sticking to it. WATCH THE VIDEO.

I know, I know. If we don't draft 28 offensive and defensive linemen this year, d_wag's head is gonna explode. I hear you - we definitely need to upgrade both lines this offseason. We need a stud DT, a passrusher to replace Kelsay (I'll say it again: BUST), and an entirely reconstructed o-line (except for Peters).
That all being said, looks like we'll be picking in the 10-13 spot. And, that means we'll also have the chance to grab the best pure TE prospect to come out in years:
Vernon Davis, TE, Maryland.
Incredible size and speed. Good, willing blocker. Tough guy. Great hands. Can stretch a defense.
Think Antonio Gates, 'cuz that's what he is.
If you ask me, (a) tight end is not a so-called "skill position" (they DO play o-line), and (b) the lack of a reliable tight end has really kept our offense back, especially in the red zone. And, I also don't think we can expect Everett to return to form - who knows what kind of player he'll be, if he even recovers from his injury.
That's my idea and I'm gonna stick with it - grab a stud like Davis to take this offense to the next level.

Naked girls. As many as possible. Get rid of censorship until the preseason starts.
Just a thought.

The answer to this lies in the part of the quote you left out - something like, "I saw there was a passrush and figured Palmer was gonna have to throw short."
That's it right there. Somehow, the Bills got a rush on Palmer with only 3 down linemen - for most of this season, we haven't even generated a rush with 4, which is why Gray has felt the need to keep the CBs so far off the line.
Passrush leads to turnovers. End of story.

BTW, and I was gonna start a thread about this but decided not to rain on the well-deserved TBD parade,
KELSAY IS A BUST.
I'll fuggin say it. Watched him all day- 3 years in the League, and if anything, he's regressed. Never makes a play on passing situations, and is easly pushed out of position on running plays. NEVER makes a play. Denney consistently outplays him. Sorry to say it, but the kid is a huge washout.
-
I totally agree. I simply don't think you can say it is undisciplined coaching when an offensive player jumps offsides or has a false start. How many times do you see a team one year have a ton of penalties and the next, with the same coaches, and mostly the same players, have relatively few. These guys have been playing these positions since they were 12 years old, for all kinds of different coaches. But jumping offsides or a false start is just a lack of concentration by a professional football player that shouldn't happen more than once or twice a season for anyone, regardless of the discipline of the coach.
I dunno. I was watching a college game the other night where every time a player committed a pre-snap penalty (offsides or false start), the coach made him come sit out for a play. Why couldn't that be tried? Personally, I would do it as a coach on clipping/holding penalties on kickoffs- make the guy do 50 pushups on the sideline, in front of 80,000, every time it happens.

He will be on the Jets, Raiders or Dolphins next year.

Never, EVER gonna happen. Stop dreamin. Stop dreamin. Dreamin for me now. Write it on a postcard, "Dad they broke me, Dad they broke me."
The guy we should be focusing on is Jeff Fisher. He's the only guy out there who (a) could become available and (b) would instantly turn this team around.
-
Interesting the 3 they picked to sell - all 3 likely will be gone next year.

I'm sorry, but I had to dump a bucket of moderation on both sides here. I too fear change for change's sake, and I too am optimistic that a quick turnaround is in order. That being said, let's face it - whatever changes are in store for this team, they can't really do much worse than what we've seen the last 6 years. I can't buy into the "doomsday" scenario that a bumbling Levy and a cheapskate Wilson want to plunder the franchise in order to sell it to L.A. - sorry. These are people who want to win, and who care about their legacies. And they aren't stupid. Sometimes, the incredible weight of losing just needs to be lifted from a franchise - that alone can be enough to turn things around. Ask the Bengals fans.
Modrak. Can he really do any worse? Doubtful. By now, everyone remaining in the Bills' front office knows that if they don't address the lines this offseason, fan criticism will mount to an unbearable degree before any tickets can be sold.
Levy. Guy's a Harvard grad. Not a bad coaching resume. Knows how to talk to people - let's be honest, Donahoe worked hard, but he put the fear of God in his employees, which just isn't necessary. Sometimes getting rid of a demanding micromanager lets employees breath deeply for a change, and lets them just focus on doing their jobs.
There is reason for some optimism, folks - the law of averages suggests we won't be suffering much longer.
