    AFC East = AL East ... and the Bills aren't the Red Sox or Yankees

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Teams dominate and teams falter...but, people tend to forget what it was like being a fan of...

     

    The Pats sucked for decades before getting spanked by the Bears in the Super Bowl--then came their glory years almost 20 years later!

     

    The Jets were great in the early part of the NFL merger...they've sucked during the 70's...80's...90's up until the Tuna years--still they toy with underachievement!

     

    The Dolphins...just because theyve sucked for the past decade...they've always been the top team of the AFC East!

     

    The Bills...same as the Pats and Jets...just a matter of time before we become dominant again--give it time!

     

    That's nice, except for the 20 years before the early 90s when the bills also sucked..the fact is there have been about 10 years out of the 50 year history where they haven't been garbage

    Bush to Dolphins....

    Say what you want about Bush's failure to acclimate as a "running back" in the NFL he's still very dangerous as a receiver and kick/punt returner

     

    I guess...just like all those teams that were shaking in their boots about the bills outstanding returners?

     

    Sure it might be good for the occasional highlight, but when the difference between a great return man and average one is 4 yards 3 times a game, thats not really going to impact games on a routine basis.

    A scat back like Chan wanted...only a proven one! Let's hope Spiller can perform this year. While Bush is a nice pick up, I'm not that worried about Miami this year. My mind is on the new wall of AH and Wilfork we'll see twice a year in NE.

     

    Proven at what?

    There can only be one plan: Andrew Luck

    Nope. No panic or overreaction at TBD.

     

    PTR

     

    Not sure its overreaction. We've gotten worse today. When the 4th worst team gets even worse, its not a good start. Obviously the season doesn't start today, but there's been enough rumblings that we're not interested in going out and getting new impact players that anybody should be troubled by losing those players we've targeted to keep.

     

    And what's the fun of being cool and level-headed through another 4-12 campaign?

    Rank the Bills first round picks

    I've complied a ranking of the Bills' first round picks in the Modrak era, from best to worst. Feel free to comment, or contribute your own rankings of the Bills' first round picks.

     

    1) Eric Wood. He shows signs of living up to his draft position. That makes him the best first round selection of the Modrak era.

     

    2) Lee Evans. While he never lived up to the expectations associated with the 13th overall pick, he has been a solid contributor for the Bills.

     

    3) Willis McGahee. Picked late in the first round, McGahee was traded away a few years later for a couple of third round picks. This draft pick was only partially wasted! :):thumbsup:

     

    4) Donte Whitner. Chosen eighth overall, Whitner has played about as well as you might expect from someone in the late second or early third round. The eighth overall pick is worth 1400 points, while the 15th pick of the second round is worth 430 points. The Bills received about one fourth of what this pick was worth.

     

    5) Leodis McKelvin. While it is a little early to rank this pick, McKelvin looks to be a player who plays very well in stretches, only to get beat through mental errors. Using the 11th overall pick on a guy who should probably be your #3 CB isn't exactly the pinnacle of success, but it's better than anything below.

     

    6) Marshawn Lynch. Taken 12th overall, he was traded for a 4th rounder (plus change) just a few years later. Turning the 12th overall pick into a fourth rounder isn't the kind of alchemy you hope to see from your front office, but the fact the Bills got some value from him makes him the 6th-best selection.

     

    7) J.P. Losman. He had a decent year in 2006; but was otherwise useless to the team. He ranks lower than Lynch because the Bills could get nothing for him in a trade; and because of his subsequent difficulty finding a roster spot in the NFL.

     

    8) Mike Williams. The Mike Williams of 2004 would have represented an upgrade at RT for the 2010 Bills. You hope to get more than just one somewhat decent season out of a RT chosen fourth overall. But as a Bills fan, you don't always get everything you want.

     

    9) John McCargo. There'd been discussion of trading him away for a fifth rounder--at least until he failed the Colts' physical. While a fifth rounder isn't a great return from a first rounder, it's better than nothing. Which is exactly what the Bills would get if they tried to trade away . . .

     

    10) Aaron Maybin. Chosen 11th overall, this player has done nothing for the team.

     

    Unranked: Spiller. (Too early to make an assessment.)

     

    It's awful when Mike Williams isn't your worst

    Round 4 (Pick 122): OT Chris Hairston - Clemson

    Skeptical is a good word.

     

    The OL was decimated with injuries last year and the Bills brought people in off the street rather than let him on the field.

     

    Wang fans may find it hard to give up on him. B-)

     

    But, there is plenty of reason to be skeptical that he is an answer.

     

    BTW, the Packers had a few injuries last year, and they got their rookies on the field, and those rookies contributed to a Super Bowl winning season. Maybe this idea that that one has to wait several years to start to form any sort of idea is a tad outdated when much of the league's depth is comprised of very young players.

     

    Pretty ridiculous that we're throwing Wang out with the bathwater in a rookie season where he was fighting injuries...you guys are crazy.

     

    I'm not saying he's going to dominate, but missing time can't be good for someone trying to adjust to the NFL. He's at least as legitimate a prospect as someone we pick in the 5th round in 2011...
