How about Philly's Kolb for Lynch (former ProBowler - Philly needs a RB with Westbrook's health problems) and a 3rd this year and a conditional 4th next year.
Then we draft the best available OT in the first and Best available WR DT or LB in the second
Sign some workmen level LB's and DTs in FA
***there, I just fixed the Bills***
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 still like McCoy in rd 2 or 3
I wonder how much different this game would've been had he actually toughed it out...

Like I said he wouldn't have to come back as the DC. I just like the fact that he has a lot of experience working in 3-4 defenses and even he came back as a defensive consultant I think it would help. If you look around the NFL the top defenses every year use a 3-4 scheme (Ravens, Steelers, Packers, Jets... etc). I agree I am sick of seeing the Bills put out a passive defense that plays bend, but dont break football. The team needs a change and I think Cottrell could help in changing things over.
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..

The Bills were awesome to use in Tecmo.
Kelly, Reed, Thurman, McKellar.
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 is an experienced defensive coach that is considered one of the best at putting together a 3-4 defense. He has significant Buffalo ties, as well as, some time spent with the Chargers. If not as a defensive coordinator, maybe he can be brought in for some other type of position on the defensive side of the ball. I have not heard any rumors about Cottrell, this is just a thought I had because he always put together tough defenses while with the Bills.
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...
-
Guy reminds me of Bo Jackson.. elusive, fast, and hard as hell to bring down.
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.

He also originally said the Bills never talked to Cowher and basically completely dismissed any chance of him going to Buffalo.
Then today he says, "yeah they talked," like it was common knowledge and no big deal, and went on to say the Bills were/are trying very hard to land him but it just isn't the "perfect job" for him.
That's backtracking as not to look foolish.
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.. -
I think it was when he thought the football crossed the goal line but it was clearly a helmet.
Yep, Testaverde's WHITE helmet was mistaken for a BROWN football. Luckett was a terrible ref. Is he still in the league?

There was a Bills-KC MNF in '91 or '92; the Bills had completed a pass, so they thought, the call was challenged and reversed, and the ball was set 10 YARDS BEHIND WHERE IT WAS LAST SPOTTED, and no one on field noticed. It became an ad hoc 10 yard penalty, and the Bills had to punt after not making up the phantom yardage. Somehow, during teh Kelly years, Arrowhead Stadium was a house of horrors in more ways than one.
NHL - the world leader in bizarre calls:
I think it was a playoff game, Calgary vs Edmonton, a Calgary player visiously speared an Edmonton player, the ref doesn't see it, play continues, and Calgary scores. Afterward, they see a player spralled out on the ice, the linesman told the ref there was a spearing penalty (a major and game misconduct) before the goal, BUT THE GOAL STILL COUNTED!
NBA
Buffalo Braves are called for a foul in the last seconds of a playoff game between the Celtics. Replay cannot find teh foul. Foul shots are made and Braves went from a game winner to playoff elimination on that "foul". After reading recent articles on the NBA's penchant for favoring big markets (as how the Lakers got to the finals 2 years ago), makes you wonder.
MLB
World Series, bases loaded, Darryl Strawberry at the plate, 9th inning, winning run on 3rd, Strawberry leans into each pitch, and gets ball calls and walks in teh winning run. Replay shows pitches were strikes and Straw's lean influenced the ump.
Can't forget the Yanks getting a HR against the Orioles when a 12 year old caught a fly ball leaning over the outfield wall. Replays showed it was interference and should have been an out. Yanks win the WS and teh 12 year old gets to join them in the victory parade.
NHL - How about "No Goal"?
NBA - Where the most corrupt refs reside..
-
Gotta love the Pats* player getting knocked unconscious on the sidelines and fumbling the ball, but retaining possession because it was touching his lifeless, partially out of bounds body.
Oh, and while we're talking Pats*, might as well add the ridiculous Tuck Rule.
Wow, I remember that play. Ball was clearly inbounds, but touching a WR passed out on the sideline. Dead ball. BS call. Pats* get all the breaks and still complain!
-
"Personal Foul. Giving him the business."
Haha.. is that a call from the movie Necessary Roughness?
-
Any sport. I'll start -
FUNNIEST:
It was the 98-99 season and the Philadelphia Eagles were a terrible team (season before McNabb). I kid you not and I remember it to this day - the Eagles were about to run a play, but the referee blew his whistle, threw his flag, and came running out to announce the call:
"False start, on the offense. The ENTIRE offensive line. 5 yard penalty, repeat 3rd down"
Hilarious! How does an entire offensive line false start?!

Hello Bills nation,
If the holidays, or the recession hasn't gotten your pockets into trouble, I am asking for you to consider being a backer for my short film. The fundraiser was just launched today and I need all the help that I can get to reach my goal. If you don't want to contribute, but know someone who might, spread the word! This is an "all or nothing" fundraiser, meaning that I either reach my goal (only then will the pledged amount be taken out), or I fail to reach my goal (no one has to pay). Please consider and take a look. If you have any questions, PM me. Thank you and have a Happy New Year!

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WIVB) - Buffalo Bills have called a 2:30 p.m. news conference Thursday to announce the appointment of a new general manager.
Sources tell News 4 Sports that Buddy Nix will be named the team's new general manager.
Nix has served as the Bills national scout for the past season. He rejoined the Bills this past January, after spending several years as a football personnel executive with the San Diego Chargers.
Sources tell News 4 sports, the Bills interviewed two other in-house candidates for the job, Tom Modrak and John Guy, and settled on Nix as the GM.
The announcement is expected to be made official at 2:30.

Interviewed JOHN GUY?!?! Wow, this place would've erupted! Guy deserves to be handed walking papers, not promoted. I can live with Nix as GM. He comes from the Polian tree right? Hopefully one of the first moves Nix makes, is to find a new director of player personnel. Hand Guy his long overdue pink slip.

Many draft pundits said, "Brohm will replace Aaron Rodgers as the starter in GB". I sure hope we see that first round potential manifest itself again...
-
Very, very mixed feelings about this one. The guy whose team underachieved, couldn't beat Army & Navy, flawed game management... I know, I know, college is completely different than the NFL, but what has me even more worried, is that when he was OC of the Patriots*, many Patsie fans couldn't wait to get Weis out of town! Many cheered when he took the ND job; the same way we cheered when Fairchild took the Northern Colorado (or whatever) job. Has anyone asked the Patsie fans how they presently view Weis?

And we remember what an idiot you were for ranting on and on about Trent as if he's been the principal cause of this team's problems this year. He's a benched QB and won't be back here next year. Get over it.
Wow, are we back to this ThreeBills? Earth to ThreeBills, I said Edwards sucks, Fitzy sucks, and the OL sucks!! Trent was not the principal cause, but he was in no way a solution to the problem! You and your, "JayBaller vs Trent" crusade grows tiresome. Get a life and leave me alone..
Select the #9 overall pick in the draft!

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