You have a lot of time on your hands my man..

Don't know why everyone was so quick to hang Lynch (and still). I knew at the time of her story that something didn't make sense. Yeah I know that he has a past, but don't be so quick to string him up. He is still an athlete that is an easy target, due to his checkered past. That being said, the latest allegation that has come out, seems like it probably happened. The pieces fit his story better and I can see the events unfolding, as he told his story. I'm not running Lynch out of town because he's an !@#$, but I do advocate trading him if the price is right (which it wouldn't be)..

Maybin should have gave money back after his rookie year! In all seriousness, maybe he took too long to sign, because the coaching staff realized he wasn't the player they had hoped that he would be. It was reported during training camp, that Maybin was getting thrown around by OL who didn't even make the final 53. Dick Jauron said himself, "I didn't expect to see much out of him." after the Detroit preseason game.

McKelvin could've been drafted to replace Clements, but the replacement was already on the roster - Greer. If we had a backfield that lined up McGee, Greer, Florence, Corner, & Lankster, I believe that you are still getting a top notch unit. Unfortunately this year, McKelvin wasn't able to contribute to the defense's pass rank and interception totals, but hopefully the nagging (and big) injuries will be absent next year. It is also true that Florence comes in at half the cost of Greer ($3M/yr), but McKelvin's rookie salary ($5M/yr) almost offsets Greer's salary.

Oohhh lookie - Greer ranks #2 in lowest burn percentage! Greer should have been given his $6.5M to stay here, thus saving us the McKelvin pick. That pick could've been used to pick up OL or DL.

I knew he was from Canada and SCTV was part of his rise to fame (and many other comedic stars), but I do miss that guy..

Good point - no mention of how the bill got paid. IMO I think this is a severly overblown story, based on an athlete's reputation. I also like how these Bills fans are so quick to jump on Marshawn without the benefit of hearing both sides of the story. Real fans..

This part of the story doesn't sit right with me.. Playing the situation like a movie in my head, am I to believe that Marshawn took her money, told her, "don't worry" and then the two sat at the table awaiting the friend's return, so that there could be a confrontation? Something is missing in this story - maybe like others have stated - he was playing around and the situation turned serious when the girlfriend returned. I don't know, but something about this story feels inconsistent...

At almost 50%, I guess the preferred pick will be Rolando McClain. Can't see the overall opinions changing that much...

Let's see... Trade away a pro bowl RB, a 3rd round pick this year, a conditional 4th rounder next year, for a mystery backup QB?!

To keep this thread an accurate cross section of the fanbase, please don't vote for your favorite player 30 times! Once will do just fine Part of me wishes that those on the BB message board would vote here, but more knowledgeable Bills fans reside on this message board..

Keep this thing alive until draft day. Maybe some of our media regulars around here - T. Graham/J. Wawrow - can put out an article close to draft day, stating who the fanbase covets...

A while ago on one of these threads, I proposed that we select the first pick for the FO. That way, if the pick fails, we only have ourselves to blame - not the front office! Had this method actually been implemented, Ngata would be on this team, Orakpo/Oher (based on the posters here) would have been on this team, Bryant McKinnie would have been on this team, Leodis McKelvin/Marshawn Lynch... well, I'm not too sure about those two. If there is ANY chance that a member of the new FO is perusing these boards, then let the percentages speak! The fanbase has chosen!! Obviously not all of these picks will be available at #9, so in that case, the selection should be awarded to the next available player with the highest percentage. I'm going to assume that we stand pat at #9 and DE/DT N. Suh, DT G. McCoy, and OT R. Okung are off of the board. Also, any player who plays in the secondary has been omitted for obvious reasons...

I wonder how much different this game would've been had he actually toughed it out...

Money would have been better spent going towards my film project - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/JaiBra...-thing-happened

There are aggressive 3-4 defenses and there are "read and react" 3-4 defenses. Cottrell's defenses were the latter, so he couldn't possibly help in changing things over. We let D. LeBeau get away when we shouldn't have. He runs aggressive 3-4 defenses..

That's actually when I became a fan of the Bills! I was in the 6th grade and had heard about some team that barely missed a kick to win the super bowl, so when I picked up Tecmo for the first time, I went searching for this team - The Buffalo Bills... I started watching religiously in '96 and one of the images that has been burned in my mind, is that of Kelly being carted off the field in the playoff game vs the Jaguars.

Cottrell's "read and react" defense finished nicely in the 1999 season (#1 overall), but I'm tired of passive defenses such as his and the cover 2. I want an "attacking" defense to watch...

There's only one Bo Jackson... Speaking of, does anyone remember Bo on Tecmo Bowl? If you played the Raidahs in the playoffs and he got past your linebackers.. 6.

Not only did he dismiss Cowher coming to the Bills, but he also said that the most likely candidate to end up here is Jim Haslett. At that point, whatever respect I had for chicken little as a "Senior NFL reporter" quickly flew out the window and started to declare, "the sky is falling, the sky is falling."

Who is this "Chris Ellis" you speak of?

Who needs a link?

So far, only 1 Bills fan has PM'd me and said that he'd contribute... Is there no one else out there who is in a position to help bring my script to life? You can contribute as little as $10, or as much as you'd like. Again, it's all or nothing deal, so pledges are only taken out when the project ends AND the goal is successfully reached. I have until the end of March to reach my goal. If you can help, it would be much appreciated! If you'd like to read a scene from my script (.pdf) to see what it is you are being asked to support, PM an email address..

Yep, Testaverde's WHITE helmet was mistaken for a BROWN football. Luckett was a terrible ref. Is he still in the league?

NHL - How about "No Goal"? NBA - Where the most corrupt refs reside..
