Offside Number 76

No double-digit spread in the NFL is a lock, ever.

1. And then I read the answers, and there are about ten that I should have had. The one that I got had to do with the team colors. There's no shame in honesty!

Yeah, but in dog years...

I'm not saying it's aliens, but...

You got nothin'. I understand. Dareus MUST be worse than your six favs.

Maybe because people have to post overly-provocative topic statements just for the sake of doing so. I'm not going to answer your question. It is a stupid question. After 1.5 years, who was the smart "keep?" Chris Doleman? Al Toon? Bruce Smith? After 1.5 years, who was the smart "keep?" Sterling Sharpe? Keith Jackson? Thurman Thomas? See the problem? It's a stupid question after 1.5 years. I don't care how freaking good Julio Jones was last year or this. It means nothing long term.

Do you honestly think any GM in the NFL gives "final grades" on a guy after one and a half seasons? And if so, that those grades on Dareus would be negative? Right!

Perennial pro-bowl players. What would you have thought of Mario Williams after 1.5 years? Is that what it takes for you? Two pumps and a shake?

Stop it. Even with your math, which probably includes guys like Christian Ponder, everyone from that class is unproven.There is nothing to suggest that Dareus is a bust (which, because of, and not in spite of, the OP's thread title, is EXACTLY he was suggesting), much less that he was drafted too early, at this point in his career or in the career of anyone else in the 2011 draft class.

But imagine him at DE! It would only be the fifth or sixth position that we're told he can play.

Out of this year's crop, it's Wilson and Jones, for me. Wilson is personally doing okay absent Petrino, but the team sucks, and I like quarterbacks who win. Jones is winning and winning and winning, but I worry about him against pro defenses.

It was a delay of game for spiking the ball, and not a personal foul, but I get your point.

Wilson did so.

Someone should start a thread about how the Bills didn't go for two or something.

There's got to be a way to negatively monetize this, too. Because while it isn't the most expensive defense in history, it has to be up there.

He was anticipating having to make a tackle. It would have been great had he caught it.

a seven-iron?

1. Anyone who has left FNC after a Sabres playoff win knows that escalators can be dangerous (and have no place in an arena, anyway). 2. Able-bodied people who stand on an escalator suck. 3. Anyone hear the one about the blonde who couldn't go up to the second floor of the mall because the escalator wasn't moving?

It did.

The ball very clearly bounced out of bounds before coming in. It would have been a complete waste of a challenge. On the other hand, if you wanted to see more truck and razor commercials, it would have been great for you.

Yes, he is, and he needs to either get over that or get out of town. This is the NFL, not the Big Least. Blitzing is part of the game.

Now that, that makes sense. Almost every team should draft one every year. The Bills should draft two.

The Bills have hit on them, too. There's one starting at wideout, I think. It happens every draft. There are guys on, I don't know, Rams message boards or whatever thinking that their GM is an idiot for not taking Stevie in the 6th.

The French Infantry.

What are you doing two Sundays from now? You're in. Can't be worse.
