The Cincinnati Kid

Listen, at least this Sanborn guy has yet to make a fatal mistake like that Trey Junkin did for the Giants in the early 2000's. So we got that going for us...which is good. Oh, and uh, Lama! How about something, ya know, for the effort?

The way to build experienced depth is to have the "depth" play. They played this year. So next year we'll have more experienced depth. In the NFL depth is depth. If you are back-up for one team you are probably a back-up/borderline starter for another, so I am going to call depth depth. Experience is what helps "depth" become better.

I would love to get McNutt in the draft. I was really surprised to see him at 18 for his position. I really think he will be an above average pro WR. He would be a great pick for the Bills. I liked Nick Toon a lot too. I thought he was terrific. We'll see. Hopefully they'll get somebody to challenge Jones and Easley for the spot next to Stevie, assuming he re-signs.

People need to understand that a ball does not have to travel 20 yards in the air to have a 20+ yard play. If we had a decent receiver opposite Stevie that could make a play with the ball like Nicks and Cruz do for Eli then we wouldn't have to worry so much about going "deep" to our 3rd string QB. To the OP: Love this thread and the Numbers you put together. I don't know what all that means either. Actually, I think it means that QBs get too much credit for Wins and too much Blame for Losses. Its a team game. Not a "1+10 other dudes" game.

I wouldnt even offer him anything. He can't stay on the field. During the rare occasions when he is on the field he doesn't add that much to our team. He is a wasted roster spot. See ya Roscoe. You were OK.

People complain when the FO at OBD does things like this, yet we post about it doing it all the time... Draft McGahee when we have Henry, Trade McGahee to draft Lynch, Draft CJ when we have Lynch and Jackson, letting Jabari go to draft Leodis, cutting Leodis to draft Kirkpatrick, on and on...Its maddening.

Larry Fitzgerald had 4 more catches and 1 more Td than Stevie, he also had 400 more yards than Stevie. AJ Green had 11 FEWER catches than Stevie and 53 more yards. Tds were equal. Andre Johnson was hurt most of this season, and Calvin Johnson is not human, so I won't compare him to Stevie.

People say that we need a "true" #1 WR, what does that mean? Please keep it objective. The subjective things like "Doesn't get 15 yard demonstration penalties" don't count. T.O. got tons of those, or is the reason players get them now, and he was a #1 WR in his prime, right? Fire Away.

I would like Jackson, but I would prefer Bowe. I think Bowe has more overall talent. I would really like to see us draft Floyd from Notre Dame. I think he will be a really good WR in the NFL.

I cannot believe how quick we are to drop Fitz. He was playing great when he had all the pieces around him, both on the offense and on the defense. We are committed to him for 6 seasons. He will be our Quarterback for at least 4 of those. We have way to many needs to address before we draft Fitz's replacement. As we have learned, Nix is capable of finding guys who can play right now in the NFL as Rookies the whole way through the draft. Dareus, Williams, Sheppard, Rogers, Hairston, Searcy all looked good while they were in the games. Yes they need to improve, as all rookies need to do, but NIx can find guys who can play. We need to address the real problems with this team in the draft which are Pass Rush and WR. We need another good swing tackle, and we need a back-up center. We might take a flier on a guy in the 7th, like we did with Jasper, but we will not be drafting Fitz's replacement in this draft.

Yeah, here is the thing: This guy does NOT need to be on the Bills Radar. Not at all. Not ever. Not in 4 months or in 6 years. We have our QB. All of you who don't like it or believe it can eat crow for Thanksgiving 2012.

I can't wait till all you Fitz haters have to eat crow next fall when we finally get a pass rush and some of our better players back to full health. Can't wait! (Bart Scott voice)

Oh Look! A shiny player in the Draft!!!!! Lets get him!!!!! He plays QB, where we already have a pretty good player, but this new guy, he'll fix the pass rush and the run D! Yup. Lets get him!!!!

The Bills won't take a QB in the Draft this year, but if they do it will not be until the 6th or 7th round.

Flynn has started 2 games in the NFL. Lets sign him and ditch Fitz! NOW!

I think Chan is great. This team plays very hard week in and week out. If you have a problem with his playcalling, then i suggest you give it a shot. Go ahead, call the plays. Not in Madden, but in real life. Its hard to do and you have so many things to think about. Where is the wide side, where is the down and distance, what are our strengths and their weaknesses in this situation, what personnel do we need, who just got injured, how is our line blocking for the run, for the pass, is our qb getting time, will they blitz and from where? Etc. Process all that in 40 seconds. I think he is an excellent play caller and he understands the game so well. I would not want any other head coach next year, and probably not the year after either. Teams need time to develop. Its not an overnight thing, its not a 2 year thing. It takes time. As the Bucs. They caught lightning in a bottle last year but we all knew they weren't quite there. We will be fine, but its about patients. Chan needs to be given at least one more year, but then if he is fired, the whole process starts over again, so it'll be another 3 years, and another 3. I really want us to stick to our guns and let the man, along with nix, see this thing out for at least a total of 4 full seasons.

I think we should pay him $8.5 million! Then he'll stay! Lol. Yes, top 15 to top 12 money is appropriate for Steven. Pay him. Pay Fred. Resign Chandler to a reasonable deal.

Couldnt agree more. We need a bad dude in our lineup, hopefully on defense. We are seriously lacking in the "A-Hole" department...

As Ron White would say "Next time you have a thought...keep it to yourself..."

We would be stupid to let him walk.

Im going only because I am season ticket holder. I would sell if it were worth anything. Its not. I might as well go and check my fantasy stats on my phone and the XU score. Waste of time and likely another loss. I'll be there tho.

I dont want him.

Yeah, Fitz gave up a 16-0 lead. Don't even bring up the first INT. It was a fluke. Sometimes, you just have to say "It Happens" and move on. But, yeah, lets cut Fitz so we can have Tyler in there throwing picks. Great plan dude. Go cheer for the Argos or the TIger-Cats. You won't be missed here.

What were people's reactions to the Xavier and Cincinnati basketball brawl yesterday? I am a Xavier Alum. I think XU looks really bad in all of this, but UC for not standing strong on their post game words looks weak. http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/gametracker/recap/NCAAB_20111210_CIN@XAVIER/brawl-ends-game-in-cincinnati http://bleacherreport.com/articles/977367-uc-xavier-fight-video-crosstown-shootout-marred-by-shocking-on-court-brawl Just curious on Public Opinion.

Whats wrong with bringing in a guy to be 3rd sting who has the experience of running a spread offense similar to the one being run in Buffalo? Yeah, this was a terrible idea...
