Thoner7 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I cannot pick out a single game the rest of the year I think we will win, but I am sure we will win 1 or 2 because of how close our last few have been. The prob is, Carolina seems to be much worse than we are, and with our SOS, if we tie with them we pick second... in which case we are FUUUUUUUUUUUUKED 0-16!!!

Orton's Arm Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Not sure, but I don't think that was Manning's rookie year. Good call. I just looked it up, and the press conference occurred in 2001. Manning was drafted in '98. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I doubt we lose to Detroit, but like so many other times, we need to find a way! Detroit is pretty tough, they gave the Jets all they could handle and have some real close losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Detroit is pretty tough, they gave the Jets all they could handle and have some real close losses. Problem is their best games came with Stafford @ QB. All accounts say he's out Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plenzmd1 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Surprised Pat Devlin isn't on the list. Love Devlin. Have seen him twp times now, he tore up my Richmond Spiders this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Surprised Pat Devlin isn't on the list. OK Mrs Devlin, let it go. I get it that Flacco did this, and Devlin's put up good numbers, but come on, he couldn't start at Penn State, not exactly Quarterback U! Moreover, he doesn't have the size or arm of an NFL QB. At best, he's destined to be a free agent signing, and will be a practice squad player for some team next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 A lot of people "expect Luck to enter the draft" next year. This link doesn't give any new info regarding the subject. Need to change titile of this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Senator Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) Love Devlin. Have seen him twp times now, he tore up my Richmond Spiders this year. But would we have to lose every game to get him? If not, he must not be any good. Problem is their best games came with Stafford @ QB. All accounts say he's out Sunday. I do not freakin' believe this - there are people who actually DO want the Bills to lose on Sunday? :wallbash: Edited November 12, 2010 by The Senator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric in Va Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Luck is gay? Why would SI need to report on the boy's sexuality? Now if he was entering the draft...well, then that would be news. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 You'll recall that the Panthers took Clausen in the second round of last year's draft.

That said, I admit I don't like the idea of risking so much (Luck) on the decision-making process of some other team (Panthers). 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldstorage5 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I'm confused by how you replied to yourself; it sounds like a 2nd poster responding to the comment of the 1st poster. Is this proof that you have multiple screen names and forgot to sign in as your other identity? No, I just did a little research,.... And I want others opinions... I dont have a split personality.

T master Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I hate to be the negative one on this because it would be great of we could pick up a guy that has his talent (lord knows we need one) But i think even if he does come out he may pull a Elli Manning move and say he doesn't want to come to Buffalo , which would really stink !1 The only way he comes is if Ralph really opens up the bank & although Ralphy really wants a franchise QB i don't think he'll be willing to pay what it takes to bring him home . If he is all they say he is he will demand at least what Bradford got & probably more !! So this year will be very interesting when the draft roles around .

Simon Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Ok Ive havent been following the Luck kid, because I thought he wouldnt come out..... Is he really all that?? Is he the man? Yes But i think even if he does come out he may pull a Elli Manning move and say he doesn't want to come to Buffalo I think that's nonsense. Starting off your new professional career by going to work for a guy who's had as much success with lesser QB's as Chan Gailey has would be a very wise way to begin your career path. If there's no problems as a result of labor issues or a sliding rookie cap I can see Luck leaning toward coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talley56 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) Joey Harrington, Ryan Leaf, David Carr, Jamarcus Russell. Not saying we shouldn't go after Luck, and I get that there are also Peyton Mannings, Phillip Rivers, and Matt Ryans out there, I'm just saying be careful what you wish for especially when we currently have a QB doing very well and other glaring needs that we could draft for.
