Albany,n.y.

I got one too.

Yes, but that was when it looked like we had the #1 pick. At 3, if Luck enters, he is long gone. The bills will not take a QB among those left with pick 3 just to draft a QB.

I took a lot of S##T from the Brohm boys the past year + just because I was able to see enough in the 2009 Atlanta & preseason games, combined with the actions of the NFL GMs, to write the guy off. Instead of looking at the guy realistically all the Brohm boys could do was call me a hater & a lot worse when all I was was a better judge of his talent than they were. QBs are cut all the time without ever getting an NFL start, but the Brohm boys just made excuse after excuse for the guy. They misjudged his arm strength, his pocket awareness and his overall adjustment to the speed of the NFL. The most ridiculous of the bunch actually wanted to cut Fitzpatrick & annoint Brohm the starter last offseason, all because he looked good when they saw him in college. Today showed more than anything I could tell them, that Brohm could not handle the difference in the game from college to the pros. Now anyone who watched the game can see what was obvious to those of us labeled as haters by the Brohm fans. If they had just been rational, I would have let it go, but when they resorted to the insults & name calling all because I was the better judge of his talent, it reached the point of where the only way they'd get it was to see a game like today. I'm glad Fitz didn't play, not so much to prove me right, but to finally just shut up the ones who couldn't handle the truth.

His 17.9 QB rating is better than 17.8.

Thanks Bill. By the way, did you or anyone else see Maybin out there today? I had 3 guys over & I wasn't paying that much attention to fringe players & I seemed to have missed him entirely, if he played.

I was calling Brohm Marangi during the game & Petrino asked me why I was insulting Marangi by comparing him to Brohm.

I expect the 2nd coming of Gary Marangi, a new 2nd string QB next year and pick 3 or 4 in the draft. BROHM

Guy must be John Guy. Even though we fired him he's still a big Bills fan & can't help but give us the best QB in his mock. I'm glad to see he hold no grudge for his firing. Or maybe he's just being john Guy and is showing how little he actually knows.

Actually, the Bills could never have drafted Okung because going into the Colts game as long as Seattle lost, we weren't catching them with a loss. The result of a win couldn't cost the Bills more than 1 spot because I remember rooting for them at the Indy game because I had already done the math. The best a loss would have done would have put them at 8, not 6 and both LTs would already be gone by then. However, there have been many years during this decade + of futility that we've lost out on a player we were extremely interested in taking by winning 1 more meaningless game. With our current record and the records of other top 10 potential draft teams, this year, unlike last year, is a definite root for the loss final game.

Garrard isn't playing Sunday http://www.profootballweekly.com/2010/12/29/report-jags-qb-garrard-wont-play-sunday

College players with off-field issues are complete gambles. Some work out but many don't. Using a high 1st round pick on a gamble isn't worth it. When you draft a high 1st rounder you try to be risk averse and not roll the dice that a player will suddenly grow up. Many of the top picks who were busts had maturity issues that ruined them in the NFL. I don't know enough about Newton, but if the Bills are considering drafting him they better do a background check that includes multiple conversations with the guy. A classic example is the year Manning & Leaf went 1-2. Leaf may have looked good on the field, but he was a head case. If San Diego had done their due diligence, they never would have drafted him. They let his on field play rule the day.

This one statement here indicates you really don't get things. The Jets fans UNDERSTAND the situation. They know that it doesn't matter if they win or lose because regardless of what happens THEY'RE ALREADY IN THE PLAYOFFS. Only a Jet fan with a myopic view, who like you craves instant gratification without looking at the bigger picture, would go home mad. 99.9% of Jets fans are, just like their coach, looking to next week's playoff game & could care less if their 2nd & 3rd stringers lose to the Bills A team. The Jets fans get it & wouldn't go home mad, you just don't get it & I guess you never will. So keep that attitude that we'll never get better and settle for those 4-7 weeks a year out of 16 when you can feel good. I'd rather lose today & win tomorrow because unlike losers like you, I am optimistic that with the right players chosen someday soon we can compete for a championship. However, it starts with impact players. The surer ones are gone sooner rather than later and if 1 loss can help us get one, I will root for that one loss & I'll save my feel good moment for April and seasons beyond. The fact that you don't believe the Bills can turn it around, yet you continue to look at the darkest side, looking to feel good about meaningless wins & that you actually believe Jets fans will be upset if they lose proves that you're the real loser here, not the fans who want & believe the team can do better.

If they can afford to waste $700 on sunglasses, they can afford to be in a luxury seat away from falling drunk fans. I don't even bring my primary reading glasses into the stadium, I bring ones I paid $1 for and I bring old sunglasses. It's not because I think a drunk will fall on me, but I realize that things can get broken when I'm in that tight a crowd.

This is one of the best, if not the best, posts ever on this topic. Sums things up about as perfectly as possible.

As I've stated before. Beating the Jets and feeling good about it is like the 5 year old who is delighted to beat daddy when daddy lets him win. As the kid gets older, if daddy can still beat him and continues to tank, eventually the kid, who becomes a teenager & then an adult gets very resentful. I'm getting tired of daddy Ralph thinking we fans should be happy when we win the final game against playoff teams like Indy last year & the Jets (?) this year who pull their players and play the B & C squads. PS: I'm glad I didn't get tickets to this Sunday's game. The Jets should refund half the ticket price. After spending last Sunday at the Ralph, thankfully, I won't be back until September. I need the time off to recover from watching that disgusting game vs NE.

The Bills had an excuse at the time-they wanted smaller quick guys to play inside as part of the Tampa 2 defense they were implementing. The Bills didn't want Ngata because he was too big. They determined that the free agent signing of Larry Triplett made more sense than drafting Ngata.

I working on a time machine that will get us Brady in the 2000 draft and will avoid all those busts from the 2000s and get every hidden gem. If I ever get that thing done, this post will be instantly changed to a new thread: "I can't believe some of you people, the Bills are going for their 10th straight Lombardi Trophy & all you do is whine because we lost two games this year."

Here's a better trade our roster & coaching staff straight up for NE's. This trade has as much of a chance of happening as Red's original trade proposal. Belichick can talk up Jackson all he wants, but if you got him in a room and offered the Jackson/Gronkowski deal he'd say yes if we threw in our #1 pick.

I might go to the Oakland game if my nephew wants to go with his father and/or son & my sister has room for me.

You have nothing to prove that other than that it's your opinion. The Bills started Ferguson as a rookie & gave JP a year. I'm sure you can find cases the other way that also prove nothing. Maybe the best way to look at it is, every player is an individual and you let the coach make a judgement based on the camps & preseason.

and we picked 13th, missing him by 2 picks all because we won 6 instead of 5. Tom Donahoe was on the phone trying to trade UP. Why, because we won 6 games in a meaningless season and Pittsburgh, who also won 6, picked ahead of us. Instead Donahoe picked Evans at 13 & then traded away the farm for JP Losman. How difficult is it for you to understand that meaningless games cost us impact players. At least that team didn't come down to the last game against a team that is tanking and had fans rooting for a TOTALLY MEANINGLESS game against the Jets B squad because they want to feel good Monday morning. The Bills winning next Sunday will be like a 5 year old feeling good because dad let him win. By the time he's a teenager, he's sick of being patronized, by the time he's an adult, if dad still can beat him & is letting him win, he hates his dad. Please stop being the fan equivalent of a 5 year old.

Let's see what he looks like next year with a Fitz beard.

Brohm was all set to come into the game on the Bills last possession & Spiller fumbled away the chance to see Brohm. Brohm had warmed up when the Patriots had the ball and was seconds away from entering the game.

You must not have dressed warm enough. I had my "sleeping bag coat" on, lined jeans, insulated boots and ski shop gloves & I never felt cold. Disgusted-yes, cold-no.

The Jets may tank next week. It could cost us a difference maker in the draft if we win. Anyone who wants to "feel good" next week & ends up happy that we won a game, that the other team tanked, and it cost us draft position, is foolish. Just think if we had Roethlisberger, Willis & one of last year's LTs instead Losman, Lynch & The Spiller of footballs, and if you can't understand why I'm rooting for the Jets B team next week, you don't know what it takes to improve a bad team. Draft position is more important than beating the Jets B team. Today was the worst time I ever had attending a Bills game. I felt like a prisoner at the Ralph because I couldn't leave early because I took a bus trip from Albany instead of driving. Even though the score was different, this game was even more agonizing than being at last season's Cleveland game. This game showed how little wins against bad teams means. The goal is to win a championship, not beat Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati & 1-7 at home Miami and be unable to beat any playoff team that tries. I hope all the people who put the franchise QB tag on Fitzpatrick, were gleefully celebrating our 4 wins and think we're on the way to the playoffs got a swift slap in the face watching this game. This team needs impact players & year in & year out we get none. I'm glad the home season is over, because quite frankly, traveling almost 600 miles round trip to watch performances like today, when we have to face a real Super Bowl contender, has sickened me & I don't think I could handle going to another game this season.
