Albany,n.y.

The way Clausen & Pike have played, there's no way Carolina would pass on Luck. Add a new head coach with no ties to Clausen & it's a lock Carolina would pick Luck if they're drafting 1st. If for some absurd reason the new coach loves Clausen, then Carolina is going to do what any sane GM would do with the number 1 pick with other teams coveting the franchise QB-they'll trade it to the highest bidder. I just can't see any sane coach falling in love with Clausen enough to prevent him from drafting Luck himself. For anyone who thinks drafting a QB one year & not going after a franchise QB, if available, remember this. When the Cowboys drafted Aikman, they also chose Steve Walsh the same year in the supplemental draft. They eventually traded Walsh. When the Jets signed Joe Namath, they also signed Heisman winner John Huarte. Having Clausen & Pike(who is going to the bench in favor of a guy who was home 2 weeks ago) will not prevent Carolina from taking Luck. The only way the Bills can get Luck is by holding the #1 pick.

The Bills have a survey that season ticket holders got. When they asked the question whether it is important that we have 1st shot at Bills playoff tickets, I filled in N/A.

If you want to play it safe, get tickets in the family section. There's no alcohol allowed & it has to be the tamest place in the stadium. Here's a description from the Bills: Family Corner Sections 224,225,226 and 227 of the stadium are designated as the Tops Family Corner. Alcohol and the use of profanity are prohibited in these sections. These policies will be strictly enforced and violations could result in loss of ticket privleges. Patrons who appear to be intoxicated will be denied entry into these sections.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Kelly's lowest completion percentage for a season was 55.7% in 1995. Here are his completion % stats and td/int #s for each season: 1986: 59.4; 22/17 1987: 59.7 19/11 1988: 59.5 15/17 1989: 58.3 25/18 1990: 63.3 24/9 1991: 64.1 33/17 1992: 58.2 23/19 1993: 61.3 18/18 1994: 63.6 22/17 1995: 55.7 22/13 1996: 58.6 14/19 Total: 60.1 237/175

In a segment called "You paid for it" Channel 6, which is a CBS station that carries a few Bills games a year talks about the Bills getting $3 million a year from NYS in order to keep them in NYS. Two local assembly members, Jim Tedisco and George Amedore, question whether in today's economic times the state should be giving the Bills the money. Tedisco then sarcastically says the Bills should be winning more games. They talked about Toronto giving the Bills money too. About the only decent part was when they mentioned that the Bills generate $ in taxes & having the Bills keeps some people in WNY employed.

The blame lies with Mularkey, not Jauron. He's the one who forced Rusty Jones out.

I went in there today & removed my NE ticket from for sale. I've got a bus trip that includes a ticket & tried to sell mine with Petrino's 2 at the minimum. We gave up selling & and ended up giving them away. That mimimum price is a killer.

In 1989 after Kelly got hurt & Reich won games when he was out, some fans wanted Reich to remain the starter. Marv was adamant that as soon as Kelly was ready, Reich was going back to the bench. So while there was a QB controversy with the fans & in the media, there was none on the team.

There's nothing to wonder about in the Favre or Brady cases. Atlanta picked Favre in the 2nd round. Atlanta had an established QB, so when Green Bay offered a #1 for a guy a year after he was drafted in the 2nd round & who wasn't #1 on their depth chart, it was an offer they couldn't refuse. Bledsoe was a former #1 pick of the entire draft, just recently signed to a big extension. Brady moved up to #2 in preseason after being #4 his rookie year. The fact NE kept 4 QBs meant they saw potential in Brady. They weren't going to start a 6th rd rookie in his 1st season over an established QB. When Brady showed enough in the games Bledsoe was out, Brady was named the permanent starter his 2nd year in the league. It's not like he sat behind Bledsoe for 4 years.

Why? The guy appears to be just another scrap heap player with a history of injuries in previous seasons. We don't need to bring him in. Please elaborate on why we NEED to bring him in. It's not like we can use him to learn anything that would help us beat the Patriots.

I think the Bisons won some home games last summer.

He's going to have to do it in street clothes off the field.

The most frightening thing was when he morphed into Dick Jauron and he said that it's hard to win in the NFL.

Thanks. 2 pieces of cardboard and a rim in decorative blue for the front and a backing for the back in case you want to frame it. It reminds me of when I was working & got similar stuff from my agency for 20 & 25 years. I bailed before I hit 30 years, so I'll have to see what a 30 year one looks like when Petrino hits 30 years.

Any time a franchise QB is there when you're drafting at the top of the 1st round (and you usually need one unless you just drafted a QB at the top of the round the year before) and you don't take him, you're begging to have it come back & haunt you. With Parcells, he never has to worry because by the time the situation with his team & the team that took the guy can be evaluated, he's long gone. I'll probably see him at Saratoga Race Course next summer, while Henne is flaming out in Miami's camp.

Has anyone else received their's this year? Here's what it says: In honor of your loyalty and dedication to the Buffalo Bills since 1991 I, Ralph C. Wilson Jr. , and the Buffalo Bills present this 2010 Season Ticket Holder Achievement Award to Albany, n.y.* I extend my deepest gratitude for your unwavering support, and congratulate you on your 20 Year Anniversary with the Buffalo Bills Ralph C. Wilson Jr. *changed to my screen name here.

I was thinking that someone would have said that meant Bullough had 1 more than Freddie. I wouldn't go as far to want him off the wall, but the guy definitely is not my favorite ex-Bill to listen to on the radio. I stopped listening to Fred on WHAM years ago, because all he did was talk about the Patriots, right wing politics, and why he didn't think whoever was the Bills QB wasn't any good (well, he might have gotten that one right).

With a prospect like Luck, Carolina wouldn't think twice about drafting him & sending Clausen to the bench or away. There's a big difference between a 2nd round flyer and the #1 pick. You're always looking to get an elite QB in there. Clausen's draft status & play so far hardly would give Carolina the feeling they landed an elite QB when they drafted Clausen. Now let's say your premise is correct & Carolina loves Clausen. In that case they will trade the pick, since I'm sure there will be plenty of teams offering them just about anything to get Luck. So, either way, if we don't have the #1 pick, we're not going to get Luck.

No wonder that national guy was so confident that he would never sign a new contract with the Bills after the season-Why sign a contract when you will NEVER play again, Shawne?

I like the reference to the Braves biggest blunder next to leaving Buffalo to become the Clippers.

As long as you don't drive behind me leaving the stadium, I say, go for it!

Other than nicknaming him "No TD", where do you see any stats in the post? Then you call me a jerk? Maybe you're the jerk with the reading comprehension problem.

OK, you've won me over to your way of thinking. Let's not draft Andrew Luck if he's available. If we had just been patient with Art Schlichter and let him play instead of signing that Kelly guy we might have won those 4 Super Bowls, Artie would have never gone back to gambling and the world would be a better place. After all, Schlichter was the 4th pick in the entire draft 4 years earlier, we stole him, but never gave him a chance to play. It would be an absolute shame for the Bills to make the same mistake with Brohm by drafting Luck and having him turn into the next Jim Kelly, while sending poor Brian Brohm to arenaball without ever giving him a chance. All to sell a few extra tickets by marketing Luck. The Bills ruined poor Art Schlichter's life, don't let them do the same to poor Brian Brohm.

Shaun Hill is starting for Detroit. If he can stay healthy enouugh to stay in the game, Detroit has a good chance of winning. If Hill can't stay in & Stanton comes in, the game is ours. I take back 9-3 Bills & am changing it to 27-9 Detroit if Hill is good to go for 60 minutes.

Go back & watch a replay of the Atlanta game if you want to see Brian "No TD" Brohm play a full game. That was less than a year ago. Sure you can make all the excuses in the world, but any brohm boy will make excuses this year too when he sucks after playing in a real game, if he gets in one. As others have said, the coaches see him every day & don't want to play him. They know a heck of a lot more than you do. There's no reason the team can't move on & draft Luck without YOU seeing Brohm play unless you are Ralph Wilson.
