  1. I like what the Skins did in last years draft; picked up a QB with their first pick and another later in the draft. A team should always have a QB in development, no matter who their starter is. It's just good planning. If we had done so, we likely wouldn't be in such a horrible position now.
  2. If he finds us a franchise QB, I'm all for it. Get er done Kevin!
  3. Vick wouldn't be an upgrade over Fitz. If anything, this would just be a lateral move. Plus, unlike now, we would be required to have a decent back-up QB for when Vick's injured. People need to start realizing Vick is never going to carry a team deep into the playoffs.
  4. What would you guys rather do: tank the rest of the season or trade away 4 consecutive 1st round draft picks to move up to get Geno?
  5. Or this is telling us that when Fitz is given the chance to actually think, he is less accurate and/or makes poor choices.
  6. This news is OK. It's not like he was making a difference anyhow. Either plug in Kyle Moore or bring back Robert Eddins. Youth movement is needed at this point.
  7. While I think this post is fantastic, it's applicability to the Bills is limited. We do not how many of these failed QBs would have faired on the Buffalo Bills. While not likely, perhaps Gailey could have better developed some of these QBs or perhaps they could have faired better under our system. In addition, there are some QBs we could have drafted had they not been snatched up to ride the pine by other teams. Mallet and Kaepernick come to mind. These two will likely never get a chance to start on their respective teams, likely stunting any potential development. We'll never know how these guys would have faired on our team.
  8. A corollary to this is that the opposing team's offense can't score points as long as our team's offense is on the field. The longer our offensive drives are, the less the opposing team's offense will see the field. So, I agree, a great offense can definitely lead to less points scored by our opponents.
  9. I think drafting 2 QBs increases are likelihood of finding a franchise QB over trading away our whole draft for 1. We may not end up with a top 5 pick, but there are plenty of excellent QBs to be had in the other parts of the first round. Flacco, Dalton (I know, technically a 2nd rounder, but still), Rodgers don't look too bad. Plus, there are a bunch of top 5 QBs that never pan out. It's a crap shoot, but if we get one somewhere in the first round plus another in the 3rd, we'll be fine.
  10. Good stuff here: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/102923-reggie-wells-israel-idonije/
  11. His silence speaks volumes. Really, what is he supposed to say "na na na na na, I told you so!" Sure, he's a professional complainer, but he has mostly been correct.
  12. That reaction sounds a bit over the top. The whole locker room started screaming? Geez, I wouldn't have wanted to be Rob Johnson at that point. Anyhow, ironically, he did enough to win that game. I always wonder what would have happened next if we did win that game.
  13. I actually haven't seen either team play, but know they both blow. Either way, I see you really didn't take issue with my other statement, that the Bills will likely win 2 more games max.
  14. No, I think he meant he wasn't going to dress. Just be buck naked out there.
  15. Here's the last sighting: http://blogs.buffalonews.com/press-coverage/2012/08/ralph-wilson-makes-hall-of-fame-appearance.html Looks like he's wonder if that new wetness is sweat or urine.
  16. I see about 2 wins in there max. Seattle and Jacksonville. TN will be a nail biter.
  17. From Wiki: Looks like a winner in my book. Sign him up Buddy!
  18. Have people seen him lately? Does he look like a man who has the Toronto deal on his mind?
  19. A simple Wikipedia read will remedy that. It's a great, apt name for them.
  20. This is probably the best thing that can happen to a Bills fan, get stuck 20,000 leagues under the sea without any knowledge of the season at hand. After the carnage is finished you can then come up, without any knowledge of what really happened. The offseason's usually more exciting in Buffalo anyway.
  21. I got my torch and pitchfork, where's his house?!?
  22. We got to lose better than Kansas City. That's the name of the game. Be better losers.
  23. Well put. A job's a job, but we all have someone depending on us, be it your customers, co-workers, or family. People shouldn't become complacent. And if he just views his job as "just a game", dead brother or not, then perhaps he should time some time off. Go on the IR for the rest of the season. His salary's guaranteed for the season.
  24. I think Fitz earned the FO's patience when he went out last year and blew every defense up. He earned the benefit of the doubt to start this year and to show his colors. Unfortunately, he has just proved those games to be a fluke. He has proven he is not a franchise QB. Now we can move on.
  25. I agree. I really can't blame Nix/Whaley. This team has the right personnel, except for QB. This defense is very talented and I know they can do better. Top 10 probably. They just aren't performing up to their potential. If we want to blame Nix for something, we can definitely blame him for hiring Gailey. I don't even know if we can blame him for Fitz though. We don't know what is going on behind the scenes in regards to Fitz, but if during the offseason Gailey was dead set on believing he can win right now with Fitz, do you go against your HC and go out and spend a first rounder on a QB? We had other needs and Fitz still had yet to prove he wasn't the man for the job. Or, perhaps Nix is the one forcing Fitz on Gailey? We don't know this one. But I believe there comes a time when a GM has to go against his HC's wishes and gets him a new QB, which will likely come this offseason.
