That opening music was so campy and cheesy. More like the start of a soap opera than a football game. The game itself? Just another day at work for those Bills.

Looks to me that Aaron Schobel caused the rushed overthrow because he got pressure on Boller. You're giving full credit to Whitner on that 4th and 1, when it was Schobel who prevented Boller from going through his reads. In any rate, nice find from 2007. I'm sure Donte hasn't played football in the 3 years since. How else can one go 47 games (Tampa Bay) without making a game changing play?

Thinking back to every game he's ever played, I struggle to remember when Donte made a game changing play. I remember him returning an INT for a TD against Tampa Bay, but the Bills already had a comfortable lead. I can't remember ONE Polamalu, or Ed Reed type of play, in which Whitner has made. He wants to be paid like a game changing top 5 safety, yet he's never made a single one of those plays. 5 interceptions, 5 forced fumbles, and 1.5 sacks in 5 seasons. That's 1 interception, 1 forced fumble, and .3 sacks PER SEASON! Those numbers tell you all you need to know about his production, or lack thereof.

Good yahoo article on every 1st round pick as a high school recruit. Click on the players' weights for their scouting report: Click Me A few thoughts: 1) Cameron Heyward already looked like a grown man. 2) Prince Amukamara needs to be introduced to Carmex. 3) JJ Watt is by far the lowest rated HS recruit. 4) Julio Jones HS athletic numbers were absolutely beastly.

The scary thing is that he's not done losing weight! I think we can honestly call him one of the most athletic 350+ to ever play the game. The Questions are, does he have natural instincts and can he get off of blocks? He sounds like he's dedicated to being the best he can be, but time will tell. If he is in fact a load for NFL centers to contain, then his potential will be through the roof. Can't wait to hear about Eric Wood going against him in one on one drills...

Very accurate assessment with numbers to back up the argument. He has never been a good safety, he's merely average. Where he was drafted doesn't matter, but he plays like a 3rd round pick, not like the 8th overall pick of an NFL draft. Thanks Marv. Thanks Jauron.

In that interview, I like that Nix admitted which other players he'd love to have. GMs don't often do that. For those who missed it he gave props to OLB Ryan Kerrigan, DE Cameron Jordan, and TE Lance Kendricks. "We would've loved to have those guys regardless of what the pick is, because they'd make your team better. You know, you can't get them all, you only get one round and that's the way they fell." Trade offers: "our phone probably rang 15 times every round."

So you're telling me that if you were a 2nd year (starting) QB in the league and the team just drafted your replacement, you'd hand over your jersey number to the new kid? If you say "yes" you're either lying, or you're not a competitor. I wouldn't hand over what I felt was mine either! At least not right away. The starting QB wins the number. That would be my terms.

IIRC, Terrell Suggs ran a 4.8 something at the NFL combine and fell to the 11th pick b/c of it. If Ayers plays fast, his 40 time shouldn't be an issue.

This is all very true and exactly how I saw the two. Wood is a natural center and has made his feelings known about playing the position. Barring injury, he will be the Bills' starting center for the next 10 years...

LSU CB Patrick Peterson and UGA WR AJ Green, both scored very low on the wonderlic. "Peterson plays like a low test guy" is one scout's assessment. Yahoo Article

Not sure why my video won't play. Is there some kind of ad website that pops up before the video, that my Host file may prevent loading? Of course I have Flash player installed and all of that good stuff. Anyone know of a potential conflict with my Host file?

Remember when people were comparing Aaron Maybin to Jevon Kearse and Jason Taylor? Memories suck...

You saw how fast they sprinted to the podium last year to select CJ Spiller. It was as if they were competing against another team to make the selection. Dear Bills Brass, You own the pick. You are not competing against anyone else. Use some time and see if a great offer rings the phone. Be smart. Above all, with the 3rd pick in the draft (or slightly lower) find us the next Buffalo Bill 1st ballot Hall of Famer...

While I don't know much about these CBA talks, I DO know that NFL agents only charge around 3 percent of a contract. Could you imagine if they did make 20% on each multi million dollar contract? They would literally be swimming in money! Drew Rosenhaus Also, if he had to pay his literary agent 15-20%, then shame on him for being stupid. The standard take for agents on the entertainment side (acting, publishing, etc) is 10%.

The infamous cigarette picture: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Eliza-Kruger/192979414065313 Meh. He could've done better...

I once heard a rumor about a guy who raped an entire box of Fruit Loops. Take it for what it's worth, it's just a rumor...

Too bad the game couldn't be held in the middle of the season. Make week 10 "Pro Bowl" week, a bye week for the entire league. The Pro Bowl winner wins the Super Bowl coin flip. Of course, this would be unfair for the individuals who had to play in the Pro Bowl - they'd never get a bye to rest... Scrap the game altogether.

What's amazing, is that out of all those names, I'm only familiar with Luck and Gabbert (granted I don't follow college football religiously). Have any of those other recruits gone on to have success?

He's a talent for sure, but the growing concerns about work ethic, attitude, and cheap shots, are a little alarming. Not to mention he's only done it for a year AND he stated he'd like to play, "anywhere that isn't cold". Even if he did say this tongue in cheek, it's still not the best response to, "so where would you like to play?". He may be boom or bust, similar to predraft Maybin, but unlike Maybin, at least he performed at a top level against the best competition.

I have a solution: gather about 8 different RBs & TEs and tie contracts around their necks. Put them, along with Poz, in an arena. Have Poz in the center and Trent Edwards off to the side to say "hut", "go", or "checkdown" (whatever he prefers). After a 1 second head start, Poz will then try to catch a player that has a contract around his neck. The better players in the league - such as the Antonio Gates and Chris Johnsons - will have $1B contracts around their neck. The lesser players - such as Alge Crumpler and Danny Woodhead - will have the average contract commensurate for a player of Poz's ilk. The outcome? Poz will not get paid, as Poz will not catch a single player..

Very funny..

But, but, but.. according to dayman and polish lover, two of the posters on this board, giving Kelsay that extension was a solid move. "We can't replace everyone on defense." "Kelsay makes an average of what the players at his position make." "Kelsay is a hard worker, loyal, and a great special teams player." All arguments they tried to use to convince me Kelsay is not a waste of a roster spot. Anyone who agrees with the extension, doesn't have an idea of how to build a winning program. Any good GM would have waited until the end of the year, after which Kelsay would have played 16 games at OLB, assessed his play and then compensated him accordingly, or allowed him to walk. That's what good GMs do..

I call BS. First of all, PFT is not exactly the most reliable of sites. Secondly, who is this John Czarnecki and did he personally have a talk with Shawne Merriman? Buddy Nix called Merriman before the waiver claim, just to make sure he was on board with the decision, and if he didn't want to be a Buffalo Bill, he had ample opportunity to reject Nix. Furthermore, if you want to say that Buddy Nix claimed him regardless of Merriman's desire not to be a Bill, then I highly doubt the two would have had dinner after Merriman arrived in Buffalo. BS all around. Link To "Story"

Any front 7 combination that includes Kelsay as a starter, is an automatic FAIL. The guy can't get off the blocks of backup tight ends and fullbacks, how do you think he'd do going against an OT for the entire game?! He had 1 assist in 75 minutes of football at OLB last week, if you put him at DE, he won't have a single tackle for the remainder of the season. Every offensive play, he'll watch from the "pancake" position.
