I'll admit I don't know why, but I would really like it if Bobby April were named HC.
Of course, it may be all this giddiness for the MM news hasn't worn off yet.
-
On the bright side, it would save board space.
We could just keep using all the old "MM sucks" threads.
-
Ralph and Marv made a mistake keeping MM...plain and simple. The organization wasn't conducive to winning, because MM was still there. No one was going to come into that situation. For being their first big decision together, it was a poor one. They set up MM, and the Bills, to fail.
Now maybe they can put all this behind them and start fresh.
-
You know, as much as I don't want Haslett, I am just so happy to be rid of MM! I honestly woudn't bat an eye if they said Tice right now!
-
Bet you are wrong. You may have been right with MM around, but not if we bring in someone with some talent. The promise of a new season filled with new (competent) coaches, a high first round draft pick and 4 picks on day 1, along with some great camp reports will have the seats filling up again.

I agree, this makes no sense at all. I was so excited as the season winded down that everyone was going! Then I find out that MM was staying and that this team would be in turmoil for the next few years waiting to straighten that mess out.
Now they are trying to talk him in to staying!?!?
The only thing I can say is TD better have been much more involved in the on-field decisions than any of us know, because if MM was responsible for what we saw last season, there is NO logical reason to fight to keep him.

The Fighting Whities
Anyone remember that story? Funny stuff.

It would be a good trade for both teams though. (with the assumption that RW has actually gotten his head out of his ass)
Miami gets their QB and can work on the line in the offseason.
Houston gets a good RB which allows them to draft local boy hero Vince Young, which also buys them a little time to rebuild the line.

Hey, you can could ask him over and over again who we are going to take with the first pick!!
-
Face it, this team is in rebuilding mode. You trade away anyone over 30 if there's a market. That means Spikes and Fletcher, even Sam Adams if someone wants him, and of course Eric Moulds. Holcomb too, even though I named my avatar after him. The ONLY type of over-30 player I'd be interested in keeping is a guy who's a) cheap, b) has no trade value, and c) a good mentor for the younger players.
Not verterans....got it.

People have to stop comparing individual positions on the Bills to those positions on the Pats. Unless we are going to get a coach like BB, a QB like Brady, and an entire "team" like the Pats, then stop comparing.
-
That's easy. Franchise and trade Nate Clements for a late first/early second round pick, or just use Clements + our first rounder to get Da Brick in the first place. The Bills should also consider any reasonable offers for Takeo Spikes, because Spikes only has a few good years left, and the Bills are at least two years away from contending.
Not easy. First you have to assume that there is a high market value for Clements after the worst year he has had. Assuming that the market is there, it still leaves a huge hole in our secondary. Sure, the lines would be better, but do you really think McGee can handle the leagues top recievers? Chances are we aren't going to get any extra Safety help this offseason that doesn't come in the form of raw talent with "potential". Our corners need to be GOOD. Clements needs to be franchised and KEPT. Work out a deal if possible, if not...oh well. Maybe he will have a huge year and we can get a high first the next year. IF Clements is traded, we better be bringing in some damn good talent to replace him.
I won't even bother with the Spikes thing, as it is too ridiculous to even think about.

So how many draft picks do we have? All of our 7 picks, plus Tennessee's 3rd is all that I'm aware of. I've read in this thread about multiple second rounders and compensatory picks and all that. Are these just mistakes, typos, and conjecture, or do we truly have additional picks that I'm not aware of?
Part conjecture, part imagination. We do live in a Madden world after all.
Chances are we will get comp picks for Williams and Jennings. I wouldn't be surprised if one of them were as high as the end of round 3, but they could be round 4 or 5 too.
We do not, and will not, have any extra picks in the second round without trading for them.

I missed out on this last year, so in order to act quick...I'm throwing my hat in the ring now! IF Nutcrackers is out, I'd like to jump in!
(Not in any hurry for a response, just wanted to get it out there.)

It all comes down to when the Bills will stop dicking around their O-line problems and actually go out and fix them. I've watched D'Brickashaw very closely the last two years, in my opinion he would have been the first O-Lineman off the boards last year too. This guy is an anchor, an immediate upgrade rookie like Orlando Pace or Jonathan Ogden...the Bills need this guy so they can keep their QBs upright.
Every year the next Pace and Ogden are in the draft. Guaranteed!! How many Pace's and Ogden's are running around? In fact...we have one of them right now.
You are assuming that the only way to fix this line is to address it with the first round pick. Really, I'm just as excited at the starting guard prospects that will be available in the low second round like Max Jean-Gilles, Davin Joseph, and Charles Spencer. Those guys would all upgrade the line, and allow us to have 2 starting players added in the draft as opposed to 1. Also of note is the fact that this draft is so deep at lineman it would be very possible that we could find another starter, or soon to be starter, for the inside of the line with one or both of our 3rd round picks. So I don't want to trade those either.
We need the picks, and no GUARANTEED lineman is worth giving those picks up IMO.
-
He won't make it to 8. San Fran will draft him if they stay put. It's been said they want to move JJ to the right side where he'll be more effective. Remember, they have a young QB that they wnat to protect.
Either way, there will be trade ups/downs. No one knows who will be picking 1-7 come draft day.
-
Mike Williams is costing us 10mil. If we cut him, the cap hit is 5mil instead. That saves us 5mil. Yes, we lose out on 5mil dollars without a player to show for it, but we can sign one or two players for the other 5 that we are saving.
-
The only problem with this is that he wasn't given the chance to progress. He was pulled out of the line up.....twice! (Injury my ass)
Manning looked pretty bad from his first start to his last, and looked much better this year. If these coaches would give JP the CHANCE to make mistakes and learn from them, I would have high expectations for him.
I am more than willing to call a duck a duck. If JP were a failed experiment, I would say so. But when someone says JP has had two seasons and is still horrible, they are just looking for things to complain about. PLAYING TIME IS IMPORTANT.

I agree about FB. It can make all the difference in the world. I think 3rd round is a bit high, and there should be no problem grabbing Bernstein in the 4th. He's not much of a threat running or recieving, so a lot of teams will shy away from him, but IMO that's not what a FB is for, and he is the best blocking FB in the draft.
-
I add Hawk to that list, but I don't think there is any chance any of them slip.
The Jets are the wild card, but even if all three are still on the board after the Jets pick, I think it's a lock that Mario goes to GB, SF takes Ferguson, and Oak takes Hawk.
Of course depending on who the Jets do take, this could leave Kiwi and Ngata on the board, and both will be good players.
Mularkey out. Haslett in?

You don't happen to live on Providence, do you?
Somebody there has Bills flags hanging outside their house.
