What do people think of Larry English from Northern Illinois. I personally do not know anything about him, but I was reading in Bills Digest about him being a possible pick for the Bills at 11. No way can you draft him at 11, but he just might be there for us in the 2nd. Would you prefer English or Shaughnessy? I am thinking that Rey Mag (sp.) from USC in the first and either English or Shaughnessy in the second is the way to go. Address your center in free agency and I think we have a serviceable tight end in Fine.......tight end is the last priority on my wish list. We need to build a dominant defense first because that is how championships are won.......look at who is left in the playoffs.

Possibly as a backup!
Ryan Fitzpatrick is my number one choice

garcia would be perfect....and backing up trent would be reassonable for the first time for him because of his age.but these are the buffalo bills. don't expect great creativity.
I think Garcia would be a great choice, but unfortunately I think his price will be way too high......I would rather spend the money addressing some of our other needs. I would like them to target Ryan Fitzpatrick........he certainly can move around and make plays with his feet.

Anyone have any experience with Homeopathic HGH? I am thinking about buying the spray that you spray underneath your tongue 3 times a day. From what I can find it seems to be very safe and the health benefits from it are amazing. Unlike the synthetic injections which injects straight HGH into your system, this encourages your pituitary to naturally produce more HGH. The benefits they claim are many: less belly fat, better skin and nails, better cardiovascular condition........I even read that it not only grows hair back, but turns gray hair back to its normal color. It almost sounds to good to be true......which means it probably is. Just wondering if anyone has tried it.
Also wondering about anyone's experience with Hydroxycut

Exactly, if Birk can maintain great play for two years that would be enough time for a guy to learn from a former pro-bowl player, IMO.
The posts after the article are quite amusing.........very similiar to the sentiment on this board. They aren't going to renew tickets until Childress is fired. They have turned on Birk saying he is a slob whose best days are behind him. They even suggest that he purposely made the bad snap on the shotgun snap, because he was pissed about the lack of cntract extension.

Can someone name a coach that gave a speech to his players before the game something like the following? "This team is good. Real good. Tell you what, let's forget about this game guys. Just go through the motions today. It doesn't matter. We'll try again later. Just get through the game and we'll go watch a good movie and have ice cream, my treat."

...who is five years Tony's senior, is still toiling in his craft trying to get it right with laughably bad results.
Somehow I don't think that Tony Dungy thought football as being hard or that is was so hard to beat other teams. If he did, I've never heard him say such things that reeked of a losers mentality, unaccountability and excuse making.
His contemporaries are contemplating retirement while the curious and amazing head coaching life of lifetime loser Dick Jauron continues. I think his secret is that he chooses players that are much more loyal than they are competitive. It's the only reason that makes any sense as to why the players wanted him back so badly.
Chris Kelsay was on the Thurman Thomas show on Saturday and the standard cookie cutter question was asked about even though the results were not what they expected the players showed alot of heart and played hard.........to which Kelsay attributed it starts with Dick Jauron who gets his players to play hard. I, for one, am getting sick and tired of these vague generic statements. Please define what playing hard means..........were they playing hard in the Miami and San Fran game? Don't the Detroit Lions play hard? Do the Bills play just as hard as the New England Patriots or does New England play just a little harder? The party line of playing hard is getting so old..........it is pretty sad when this is the only thing that Bills have to hang their hat on.

Favre may not be back with the Jets. Doesn't sound like he's well-liked by anyone on the team. Basically he did not associate with anyone else on the team, had his own "special" room that he always hung out in, his preparation for games was lacking, etc. Why does he keep coming back? He obviously does not want to do the work to help his team win in the long run anymore.
Favre is being exposed for exactly who he is.............a phony. He is not the nice down to earth southern boy who just plays football because he loves the game......the image that he has portrayed all these years. The fact of the matter is he is a downright selfish egomaniac who always needs to be the center of attention. I have to say this last year has been a disaster for him and his good ole boy image.

If the contract extension was signed week 5, why wasn't it announced? That would have been the PERFECT time to announce it. The Bills haven't delayed these kind of announcements in the past.
I know this seems to be a new policy within the past few years. The older and more senile he gets........it seems like he is suffering from a form of paranoia. It is as though he is trying to build an adversarial relationship with the fans in his older years. He is acting as if he has been wronged by the fans all these years and they don't deserve to know such details of HIS franchise........it is just none of their business. As far as retaining the coach that all the fans want fired, this is another way of telling the fans it is none of their business. It is strange how he is turning on the fans when all they do is sell out his stadium every weekend............he is biting the hand the feeds him as the old saying goes. I mean I don't need to know financial terms of a contract, but don't we deserve to know if our f'n coach has been signed to extension. Very bizarre behavior from One Bills Drive the last few years and it always wasn't like that as the Dean states.

Buffalo Bills: Sh!tting on fans for 9 years now and going strong!
Bend over and get ready for the same old Dick

You've heard me speak, correct?
I not familiar enough with the people on this board, but driving to the game on Sunday.......I was listening to Howard Simon and was talking about all the different Bills weather stories and he was interacting with a Lori in the background who relaying a story and kept referring to Lori. I told people in the car......I bet you that is Lori from Two Bills Drive...........was I correct?
-
That is a reality that I mentioned in a fit of anger but it's still a reality.
What kind of car is it

6) Oh.....My.....God.....You guys might think that you saw Donte Whitner getting knocked on his ass, but you are wrong. That was me, and symbolically, all of you getting your ba!!s kicked in by Dick Levy. That play represented exactly what posters have been screaming about for 2 years. This is the player that Dick Levy spurned extra picks for, and passed on very good players that they needed far more. What a freaking nightmare! I mean, this was Sammy Morris, not Earl Campbell. When message board posters know far more about building a team than the coach and GM, things are pretty f
ing bleak. I guess we will simply suck as long as Ralph owns the team.His shoulder must have been bothering him on that particular play.........the Whitner apologists are don't have much of leg to stand on anymore.

AP reporter john warrow wrote in his column this mouring that during his interview with ralph that tom modrak was going to promoted to ralphs "inner circle". Since the guy has been here he is 49-62!!!! where the F*ck else on this planet can you be promoted by having a winning percentage of sub .500??? We have had a below average to average team at best for 9 years and until ralph sells this team it is not going to get any better any time soon.
Isn't Modrak already part of the "inner circle"............I would define making draft recommendations as part of the "inner circle". This is purely a PR move by Ralph to make it look like he is changing some things up.........but we all know they are staying the same.

I have done a 180 on leodis. i posted earlier this season that he was a bust. it has become evident that with more experience he has show why he was worthy of the #11 pick last year. He is still a bit raw covering (getting smoked by eddie royal but cutler overthrew him) but he has the makings of a pro bowl corner and return man. the field position he gives us on kickoffs is amazing. denver was so afraid to kick it deep they opted to mostly squib kick.
donte whitner on the hand....can someone please tell me why he is recognized as one of the better young safetys in the league?
Well, I can tell you for sure why there are so many Whitner apologists on this board and that is because Marv Levy drafted him at pick in which most considered to be a stretch. The Whitner apologists go to great lengths to defend Whitner as to not admit that Marv made a bad pick and perhaps reached. They will call you names that you obviously don't know football because he is doing all the things that he is asked to do very well, or that he is being put in position to fail by the scheme they run, or the reason he doesn't make plays is a lack of a pass rush.........I've heard all of the excuses. The truth of the matter is that he just doesn't make plays (I don't want to hear about the one play he has made all year yesterday) and is not even the best safety on the team. To me that is the definition of average to below average. Do we have bigger fish to fry........yes, but if we are calling a spade a spade............Whitner is average at best.

Fine. In regards to wins and losses, Ralph will go down in history.
The sad part is that Ralph doesn't lose any sleep over it.........he could careless about the wins and could careless about the fans. He takes the approach that Buffalo is a loser city with not much going for it..... they should be thrilled to see any kind of NFL team, and if they don't like and will not show up.......we'll move it elsewhere. He knows he is in the power position and the older he is getting the more he has been rubbing it in our faces.
-
I think the more approriate question is does anybody still care if we get STOMPED this weekend?
-
I've defended Ralph in the past as well. But you have a very valid point in suggesting he may go down as one of the top 5 worst of all time. And for good reason.
Between the 25 year period of 1960 through 1984 our Bills had the WORST winning percentage among teams across ALL 4 MAJOR SPORTS LEAGUES IN N. AMERICA, let alone the NFL.
If not for Kelly, Bruce, TT, et al in the brief glory years of late the late 80s, early 90s, who knows how pathetic it truly may have gotten.
Add to it another 9 year drought and well, it all adds up.
Aside from bailing out the Raiders and Pats in the 60s, and that is no small contribution to the good of the league overall, Ralph has proven a less than capable owner along many fronts, sorry to say.
GO BILLS!!!
Well, I guess it all depends on how one defines success. Logically, most people would define success of a sports franchise by wins and losses and championships. Ralph Wilson's measure of success is entirely different and is measured in dollars and cents. One could argue that he is one of the most successful owners of any sporting franchise history in being able to maintain such a financially healthy organization with a fanbase that sells out everygame in an economically depressed city that continually fields such a poor product. There are always two points of view to everything and as upsetting as it is to all of us fans, we are the suckers as Ralph is laughing his way to the bank.

Sully at his finest.......I love that guy!
I don't know why Sullivan gets such a bad rap.....he has brass balls and always asks the difficult question that the fans are dying to know. He also is very critical of players who he feels are not pulling their weight. While you often may not agree with him, do you not respect someone for going out on a limb and not giving you the company line.

With Ralph, money usually talks over wins. I bet he stays, and if and when he does, many loyal Bills fans like myself won't be staying around. Don't know how much more of this a human being can take.
Money really is the root of all evil...........I just don't understand how a man who is 90 years old and a billionaire can still be obessed with making and extra 3 or 4 million or even 10 million for that matter. At this stage of the game, I would be doing everything I could possibly do regardless of price to at least try going out a winner.
I guess we can't make Ralph into someone he is not........he is a businessman above all else. Being a sportsman and a winner (in terms of sports) is not his number one priority........making the most amount of money he possibly can obviously is first on his list. Would he like to have a winning franchise or a superbowl ring.........of course, but that is not going to trump his number one priority. If he can get lucky and do it cheaply, then winning is an extra bonus, if not no big deal to him. I guess because he has a difference of opinion than you and I, doesn't necessarily make him a bad guy, even though it frustrates the living hell out of the fans. The Bills to him are a money making business first and foremost in his mind........he purchased the franchise as such.

I am curious as to what people think. Who would you prefer?
As sad as this sounds..........I think he might be.
