Brawndo Posted November 16, 2014 Report Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Our one hope at this point was to see Sammy get rookie of the year... That's not happening now. This year sucks a bit more than normal. Yeah, his injuries have really set him back this season Edited November 16, 2014 by BRAWNDO
darksabre Posted November 16, 2014 Report Posted November 16, 2014 No one's been fired yet? Okay I'll wait I guess.
Jsixspd Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 No one's been fired yet? Don't forget - it took well over a year for Pegula to get rid of Regier and Ruff. I'm expecting similar lethargy when it comes to his handling of the Bills.
SwampD Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 No one's been fired yet? Okay I'll wait I guess. That's because we are going to win five straight, then have to and will, beat NE to win the division. It's going to be a great couple of weeks.
qwksndmonster Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 i agree with django ...said Tim Connolly.
wjag Posted November 17, 2014 Report Posted November 17, 2014 That's because we are going to win five straight, then have to and will, beat NE to win the division. It's going to be a great couple of weeks. Having NE sitting there at the end of the season used to be worrisome.
K-9 Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 One of the best names EVER: Bacarri Rambo. Welcome to Buffalo. GO BILLS!!!
Hoss Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 One of the best names EVER: Bacarri Rambo. Welcome to Buffalo. GO BILLS!!! He was born Bacarri Fudge. Name legally changed to Rambo later on.
JJFIVEOH Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 Not to mention - he's getting play calls on a regular basis from Marrone's college buddy, Hackett, and he has a terrible offensive line that routinely gives him poor protection. He's a decent QB. Not great but decent. So far he protects the ball well too, which I rarely see mentioned - he's only given up 3 picks in 228 attempts. That's one of the best ratios of interceptions to pass attempts in the NFL. Good points.
JJFIVEOH Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) People always use hindsight to say "We could have had..........." in reference to QB's that ended up making a big name for themselves, who didn't get taken at the top of the 1st round. Who's to say the Bills can't end up with a top rated QB with a 2nd round pick or late 1st rounder? Tony Romo, Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson (even though I think he's going to end up being a bust)............ how many of these guy were taken in the top 5? Tim Couch, Akili Smith, Ryan Leaf, David Carr, Joey Harrington, Vince Young, Jamarcus Russell, Mark Sanchez, RG III................................ all busts, all taken in the top 5. With the exception of Philip Rivers and Peyton Manning, arguably the best QB's of the last 10-15 years were all taken outside of the top 5. Edited November 18, 2014 by JJFIVEOH

With the exception of Philip Rivers and Peyton Manning, arguably the best QB's of the last 10-15 years were all taken outside of the top 5. 4 of the 6 qbs you listed in the first set were taken in the top 32. And you're not convinced on Wilson, so that leaves Romo who was undrafted. You don't need a top five pick, but at least having a fist rounder would be nice. I think Watkins + 2016 1st is a FAR more attractive offer than #11 or whatever this year with a 2016 1st. My point has always been, and will remain, that this team was going to be too good to be in range to draft or trade up for one of the two stud QBs in this draft. I just can't imagine a team (outside of the Jags) in the top-5 that would trade away from Mariota or Winston. And in the Jags case, you've seen their receivers right? Watkins would he hugely appealing. You're comparing three first round picks to two first round picks.
Doohicksie Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 Tony Romo Tony Romo. Snirk. That made me laugh out loud. He brings perpetual mediocrity to the Cowboys. 8 and 8 forever.
JJFIVEOH Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) Tony Romo. Snirk. That made me laugh out loud. He brings perpetual mediocrity to the Cowboys. 8 and 8 forever. As much as I despise the Cowboys and Tony Romo, he does put up top QB numbers pretty much year after year. Which is why I included him in my list. 4 of the 6 qbs you listed in the first set were taken in the top 32. And you're not convinced on Wilson, so that leaves Romo who was undrafted. You don't need a top five pick, but at least having a fist rounder would be nice. The reason I compared top 5 to the rest of the draft is because trading up to get a top 5 (even a top 2 or 3) pick is going to cost us huge. Trading for a lower 1st round pick will not cost nearly as much. Yes they were mostly 1st round QB's, but if they were drafted based on how they've turned out in the NFL they would have been top 5 picks. Moral of the story, QB's taken in the top 5 haven't turned out so well. Edited November 18, 2014 by JJFIVEOH
Doohicksie Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) I know that. But he never wins the Big Game. It's not in his blood. He will never live down The Fumbled Snap. Just like Thurman Thomas never lived down the forgotten helmet. For the record... I've lived in the DFW area long enough that I have a mild inclination toward the Cowboys. If they do well, everyone around me is happy, so (most of the time) I wish them well... almost even root for them sometimes. But then Romo is Romo and they lose a Big Game in December. And I smile quietly to myself. Edited November 18, 2014 by Neuvirths Glove
nfreeman Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 He was born Bacarri Fudge. Name legally changed to Rambo later on. This is a joke, right? Do I need to google it? Holy cow. I did, and it's true.
Hoss Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 This is a joke, right? Do I need to google it? Holy cow. I did, and it's true. Even more fun is that all of his friends/family call him "Goo" so he used to be "Goo Fudge."
shrader Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 I hope he played for the Packers before changing his name. Too obvious?
Hoss Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 Not the Bills but the Browns are having a big season and haven't even needed one of their biggest offseason pickups: Ben Tate. They just released him.
tom webster Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 Not the Bills but the Browns are having a big season and haven't even needed one of their biggest offseason pickups: Ben Tate.

Hoss Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 Their division is fearing on NFC South and Browns three non division wins Saints Tampa Oakland Yea? What's that have to do with it?
tom webster Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 Just putting their record in perspective. The reality is if you eliminate the top two or four teams and the bottom three or four , the difference between the rest of the league has a lot to do with schedule and timing of critical injuries.
Stoner Posted November 19, 2014 Report Posted November 19, 2014 I must be an absolute ######tard. I am not denying that probability. But I have been looking on buffalobils.com for five minutes to try and find this season's results. I am trying to find out if the Bills started 3-0 or 4-0 before slipping to 5-5. I know I could look tons of other place for the info., but this is driving me mad. I can't find any standings either.
