I'm pretty sure he meant blue collar people from rust belt cities...

oops, meant to change wright to mccauley

hello everybody...please post your thoughts... Round 1 ~ Patrick Willis ~ ILB ~ Missisippi ~I would choose Willis, even if AP was here...He is explosive, fast, and a good tackler. He should work well in the cover 2 scheme the bills currently use. Round 2 ~ Marcus McCauley ~ CB ~ Fresno State Round 3/first ~ Traded ~ N/A ~ N/A ~This pick is traded to the Detroit Lions for two fifth round picks, the #139, and #145 picks in the draft. Round 3/second ~ Mike Walker ~ WR ~ UCF ~6-2 and 200 lbs, is the receiver the Bills need. Had a spectacular senior year with 90 receptions on the year, and 98.2 yards a game. This talented WR with toughness can be the possession receiver and start this season. Round 4 ~ Kevin Kolb ~ QB ~ Houston ~3,809 yards as a senior, with 30 TDs and only 4 INTs. Smart player with above average arm strength that can move in the pocket. Could develop as the Bills third QB and move into the backup role. Round 5 (from Detroit) ~ Clark Harris ~ TE ~ Rutgers ~6-6 and 260 pound man with wheels. Can catch well and block. Can be a redzone target that the bills lack currently at TE. Round 5 (from Detroit) ~ Garrett Wolfe ~ RB ~ Northern Illinois ~Almost 2000 yards for his senior year, and 6.2 average, plus 18 TDs. This RB is one of the fastest in the draft, and could do well with the A-Train. Round 6 ~ Prescott Burgess ~ OLB ~ Michigan ~Has played both outside positions, strong run defender, big frame, solid tackler, will have to play strong side though due to slowness. Would compete with Ellison for strong side LB. Round 7 ~ Joe Cohen ~ DT ~ Florida ~Good Strength and toughness, but would require development. Round 7 ~ Derek Schouman ~ FB ~ Boise State ~Originally a TE, so speed and catching out of the backfield are good. Blocking also good. Good size. Ok.... know you all didn't read through all that, so here is my abbreviated version.... Round 1 ~ Patrick Willis ~ ILB ~ Mississippi Round 2 ~ Marcus McCauley ~ CB ~ Fresno State Round 3 ~ Traded to Detroit for 2 fifths Round 3 ~ Mike Walker ~ WR ~ UCF Round 4 ~ Kevin Kolb ~ QB ~ Houston Round 5 ~ Clark Harris ~ TE ~ Rutgers Round 5 ~ Garrett Wolfe ~ RB ~ Northern Illinois Round 6 ~ Prescott Burgess ~ OLB ~ Michigan Round 7 ~ Joe Cohen ~ DT ~ Florida Round 7 ~ Derek Schouman ~ FB ~ Boise State Needs addressed: ILB CB Possession WR TE RB FB Can I hear a Go Bills?

I say enough of WM, draft RB in the 2nd round, right after we draft a decent DT....

go chiefs

who do we want to win?

mmmm beef on weck <mouth watering>

TD HARRISON!

TouchDOWN HARRISON!!!

space balls....it just isn't funny!

crap denver scored again 23-10 Denver winning COME ON ARIZONA ANSWER!

So, we want this week is: Denver loss to Arizona Cincy loss to Indy KC loss to SD Next week: Jets loss to Miami Jax loss to NE Denver loss to Cincy Tenn loss to Bills

A few games ago, I sat behind a couple of guys from toronto, so some up there are fans...but I think 2 games early in the season, would be a great idea. Season tickets would reduce in price, and I think it may attract some of the toronto fans to make the road trip for games in Buffalo. Also I think the bills should advertise in toronto right now. I think if the bills can gain a large fanbase in toronto, they are in buffalo to stay

Thought I would include this explanation, made by ezbills: If the Bills win out, they have a solid shot at a wildcard spot. Most of the other teams they are competing with have tough schedules and the Bills will hold most or all of the tiebreakers. If Buffalo goes 3-0 (finishing at 9-7, 7-5), they would need the following to get a wildcard berth: - KC one loss AND - NYJ loss to MIA (OR NYJ losses to both MIN and OAK) AND 2 of the following 3 things: - 2 JAX losses - 2 DEN losses (OR 1 DEN loss and 1 KC loss so KC wins tiebraker over DEN) - 2 CIN losses plus strength of victory tiebreaker There is a great chance that KC will lose at SD next week, ensuring that the Bills will tie or finish ahead of them. The Chiefs also have games against the Raiders and Jaguars. The Bills would hold the tiebreaker with any Chiefs loss based on AFC record. Given Miami's performance today and how awful the Jets looked vs the Bills, there's a good chance that Miami will beat the Jets in Miami. In that scenario, the Bills would hold the tiebreaker over the Jets based on AFC record. If the Jets beat Miami, however, the Jets would hold the tiebreaker and the Bills would need the Jets to finish at 8-8 by losing to the Vikings and Raiders. That leaves JAX, CIN, DEN, and BUF for 2 wildcard spots. Jacksonville has a difficult remaining schedule with the Titans, Patriots, and Chiefs. Should the Jags lose 2 of those 3, the Bills would hold the tiebreaker based on AFC record (the head-to-head win vs the Jags only matters in a 2-team tie). The Broncos are self-destructing having lost 4 in a row after starting 7-2. They could easily lose 2 or all 3 of their remaining games against the Cardinals (who just beat Seattle), Bengals and 49ers. Should Denver lose just one game, the Bills would lose the tiebreaker unless the Chiefs also finished with a 9-7 record, in which case the Bills would beat both KC and DEN. The most interesting tiebreaker would be vs the Bengals who have tough games coming up against the Colts, Broncos and Steelers. The Bills and Bengals would likely have the same AFC record and the same record vs common opponents, so the tiebreaker would go to strenth of victory (i.e. the combined winning percentage of all the teams you beat). The Bills currently hold the advantage in this tiebreaker thanks in part to the Dolphins' recent run of wins. BUF strength of victory (58-59): MIA, MIN, GB, HOU, JAX, NYJ, (MIA, TEN, BAL) 6-7 6-7 5-8 4-9 8-5 7-6 (6-7 6-7 10-3) CIN strength of victory (53-63): KC, CLE, PIT, CAR, NO, CLE, BAL OAK (PIT) 7-6 4-9 6-7 6-7 *8-4 4-9 10-3 2-11 6-7 In my opinion, the 2 games that will determine the Bills' playoff fate (other than the Bills' own games) is next week's Jags/ Titans matchup and the Jets/Miami night game. If the Titans and Dolphins win those games, the Bills will have a great shot at a wildcard birth if they run the table. Remember, the Steelers were in a similar position with a few weeks to play last season and things worked out pretty well for them...

Teams in wildcard chase: ___________________________________________________________ 8-5: Cincinnati (@Indy, @Denver, Pitt) Jax (@Tenn, New England, @KC) 7-6: NYJ (@Minn, @Miami, Oakland) Denver (@Arizona, Cincinnati, SF) KC (@SD, @Oakland, Jax) 6-7: Bills (Miami, Tenn, @Baltimore) Miami (@Bills, NYJ, @Indy) Pitt (@Carolina, Baltimore, @Cincy) Tenn (Jax, @Buffalo, New England) ___________________________________________________________ With that information, right now Cincinnati and Jacksonville would be the wild cards...teams with a 7-6 record are 1 game out...teams with a 6-7 are 2 games out. In order for the bills to get a wild card, it really would have helped for Jacksonville not to have upset Indy, and that would put the Bills closer to a WC spot. The Bills have the easiest schedule in my opinion, with Denver having the second easiest schedule. Pittsburgh and Cincinnati have the hardest schedules in my opinion... In three weeks the 2 Wild Cards will be: -Denver -NYJ I do think the bills run the table and go 9-7. Unfortunately, they will come up short in the end. I do like the momentum that will carry over into next season =) ___________________________________________________________ Why the Bills will not make the playoffs? Sun, Sep 10 at New England Loss 17-19 Sun, Oct 15 at Detroit Loss 17-20 Sun, Nov 12 at Indianapolis Loss 16-17 Sun, Dec 3 San Diego Loss 21-24 Close games killin us...we've lost 4 games by 3 points or less, this could be an indicator by our large number of young players. If we manage to win the close games our record is 10-3...just something to think about for next season

match ups we should be watching...scores so far: Cincinnati 21 Oakland 3 Baltimore 13 Kansas City 0 Jacksonville 34 Indianapolis 10 Denver SanDiego Bills Jets anyway...right now we need Oakland to rally for a come from behind win vs. Cincinnati (yea right ). Indy to explode in the 4th quarter vs. Jax(improbable, but more likely than an oakland comeback). San Diego to beat Denver and Bills to beat Jets. If it turns out like this: Cincinnati win Baltimore win Jacksonville win San Diego win Bills win we will still be 2 games out of a playoff spot unfortunately I believe...Sooo root for Oakland and Indy to come back!!!

Losmans stats: 8th in the league in completion percentage 12th in the league in yards per attempt 4th in the league for longest pass T11 in the league for least amount of interceptions 12 in the league in QB Rating ______________________________________________________________________ Sorry if your a JP Basher, but he's here for at least another season

I think we are mathematically still in it...We would have to win out tho.

look at the bright side guys, we probably won't be mathematically out of the playoffs until the season is almost done...hasn't happened in a while btw the defense kinda blew it on SD last scoring drive, we would have won if that drive hadn't happened

no, I say we offer patriots Willis for Maroney, and A-Train can be our Dillon like back

First~Tomlinson Close Second~Refs
