You guys are all whiny and nuts. 10-20-30 years ago, and the first 50 years of the NFL, you got to watch 2-3 games total each week. The only football news you got about the Bills was a couple articles a day during the season from The Buffalo Evening News or Courier Express you had to buy. There was no cable and satellite and ESPN and ticker machines and Internet and message boards and Two Bills Drive and every game available and sports bars with 30 TVs and huge screens with great pictures and HDTV and The NFL Network.
You're lucky bastards to have NFL news and games everywhere 24-7 365.25 and you just complain. DirectTV is friggin' awesome. ESPN, even though they are evil blowhards, is friggin' awesome. The Internet is friggin' awesome. The NFL Network is friggin' awesome. The coverage of the NFL and the availability of it and the cheapness of price for how much time you spend with it and how much it matters to you is friggin' awesome.
The Bills aren't moving in the near and probably far off future.
Move to Iraq. We're the luckiest bastards in the history of the world.
Post of the year.
NEWSFLASH: THE BILLS ARE NOT A PUBLIC ENTITLEMENT, THEY ARE A PRIVATE CORPORATION. SO IS THE N.F.L. FANS ARE NOT SHAREHOLDERS NOR ARE THEY VOTERS.
Like it or not, "Greed" has gotten this country where it is: the most powerful military and economy in the history of mankind. There are only two things we legitmately can complain about:
first, public corruption, meaning politicians abusing the system to make themselves or their friends money. I don't see that happening in the case of the Bills - if anything, corruption will be part of the SOLUTION to keeping the Bills here (unfortunately).
second, the League and its owners making poor ECONOMIC choices, meaning choosing something that's in the SHORT-TERM best interests of themselves or the League but that harms the LONG-TERM viability of the N.F.L. IMO here's where we may have a legitimate gripe: by adopting a CBA that threatens to wipe out small-market teams, the ownership may be increasing its short-term pie (LA, television revenues) while harming the League's long-term outlook by eroding the until-now-expanding fanbase. That's a gripe, but it's a gripe about the stupidity of the League's front office, NOT a gripe about capitalism - which by the way is HERE TO STAY, because it's the least-worst way of organizing a society. If you don't believe me, spend some time in France, where they've chosen Pensions over Progress by consistently making stupid choices in the name of "culture," "tradition," and "the good of the community."

The problem with your prediction is that Hagan and Bullocks are second rounders.
-
If Cutler falls to #8, it will open up a great trade opportunity for us - with the Vikings, perhaps, or the Rams.
If Davis falls to #8, I'm thinking we may be able to trade that pick to Denver for both of its 1st rounders.
-
I have a better idea. If Vernon Davis is on the board when we pick, we trade our #8 pick to Denver for both of their first-rounders. We then have a chance to add even more depth, including Chad Jackson...

Loosen up the bowtie dude.
-
Would McNair go to the Jets? He'd have to make up with Heimerdinger, but I could see it happening.
-
Looks like Justice has vaulted into the top ten after his pro day workout:
-
Hmm... good thing they don't already have a MLB (Zach Thomas), and haven't already drafted his replacement (Channing Crowder).
-
I don't think Bunkley is a reach, at all. He'll be picked in the top 12, guaranteed.
-
'Xactly. The Bills are not gonna make the playoffs this year, with or without Moulds. While I'm worried that it's bad for ticket sales for management to consistently jettison its star players, it's not going to make a difference as far as this season goes.
Plus, I haven't seen Moulds break a tackle in 2 years.

-
Maybe Mike Brown wants to add Adams and Arrington so that he doesn't have to pay a defensive coordinator...
-
-
Relax man - I'm positing a hypothetical, for one thing. Second, there WERE lots of rumors, and they were well-documented here and elsewhere. For example, there was an article where Mwelde Moore came out and said he'd never again play on the same team as Losman, because Losman was a horrible teammate and cared more about himself than winning, or something to that effect. I don't feel like digging it up for you, but I'm sure you can find it via Google.

Well, here you go, per KFFL:
Bills | Losman Has Maturity Problems
Thu, 30 Mar 2006 06:21:23 -0800
Larry Feltzer, of the Buffalo News, reports QB JP Losman (Bills) is a chronic bed-wetter, has all of the Austin Powers movies on DVD, and giggles whenever he hears the word "duty", in any context.
-
If that's the case then why does Modrak still have a job? Who the fug was in charge of investigating this stuff? These things didn't suddenly surface - there were plenty of rumors about JP's character in college. Someone should've done their homework before we traded away a #1 for this guy.
-
They would trade down a few spots, probably with a team looking to take Cutler (who will slip).
-
-
You had me until this. How on earth did Marv "muck up" the QB situation? By bringing in Nall, who has some potential (we can all agree on that, can't we?), to compete? What should Marv do/have done differently? Annointing either JP or Holcomb the starter would be a disaster, in my opinion, and would do nothing but alienate the team (JP) or the fanbase (Holcomb).

I just do not understand the paranoia around here. All this talk about "jettisoning a great football man" confounds me. Yes Donahoe is a good evaluator of talent. However, that was far from his only role as GM and PRESIDENT. He was responsible for running all aspects of the organization, not just evaluating personnel - in fact, most of the people who were charged with evaluating talent under Donahoe ARE STILL HERE. I'm not saying that's good or bad, I'm just saying that we're not likely to see major changes in that area.
It's the organizational decision making that is most affected by Donahoe leaving and Levy coming in. And, although I'll come right out and say I HAVE NO SOURCE WHATSOEVER, NOTHING BUT PURE SPECULATION, I got the sense over the last several years that something was wrong with the Bills as an organization - there was something about Donahoe's management style that rubbed people the wrong way, and cast a shadow of fear and paranoia over his employees. From someone who works in a team-like office setting, I can tell you that it makes a big difference when your "head guy" is a micromanaging egomaniac (not saying Donahoe is/was, but that is a perception some have). I am hopeful that Levy's managment style allows the rest of the organization to "breathe" a bit and gives it the freedom to function a bit more smoothly and cohesively. I'm not sure how that will translate to on the field performance, but I'm hopeful it will improve the overall product.

Aren't "game tapes" the coach's tapes? Sorry if I got that wrong, but I thought that's what he was saying.
-
Trade down and take Bunkley or Justice.
-
Actually, yes he does. Here is his website:

I am interested to see what happens when Moulds tries to negotiate a contract with the Texans/Eagles/whomever. I would be shocked if he gets what he's asking for (although I've been shocked before, see: Terry Glenn's contract). More likely, he'll be offered very close to what the Bills were offering. Not that that means he'll end up staying - I think it's clear he wants to leave, and he's boxed himself into a corner by his public statements to that effect. But now the onus is all on Moulds and his agent - the Bills have made it clear they're willing to take a draft pick. There's no way to blame anything on the Bills anymore. If he works out a contract with another team, they'll trade him. If he doesn't, it'll be because he overestimated his value - in which case, why would he want to be released?

He is threatening the League and New York State politicians, not Bills fans. And it seems to be working.
