Upon furtherererer Review (We should move to Winnipeg)

[User Manuel]

Since it has become painfully obvious that the team has no opportunity to compete due to the stunning pick of Trent Edwards I have decided to give up all modicum of hope. I feel by moving to Winnipeg and joining the CFL Marv and company will have some opportunity to compete.

I realize I was under the mistaken impression that this team was a Super Bowl contender right now and that Brandon Siler or Rufus Alexander were that one vital piece that would have meant the difference between superbowl and bust.

Furthermore after reviewing his vast body of work from last year I have joined in the conclusion that Asthon Youboty will be lucky if he can urinate alone much less cover an NFL reciever.

Lastly, after reflecting back on all of the Super bowl rings on Randy Moss' fingers I have decided that it is futile and that the Patriots will, in fact, win 27 games this year. Why even bother.

I am glad to announce that due to this I have decided to embrace the Buffalo Silverbacks as my new favorite professional franchise.

Good bye and god bless.

p.s. There is also an obvious NHL conspiracy to give the Sabres the cup as well and the Sabres have been lucky for nearly 200 straight games.

Marv Levy called, and said to tell everyone he doesn't give a flying whether or not they're happy with the 2007 draft.

I have a really good idea...

Let's all start new threads to complain about people who don't unconditionally fall in love with everything the Buffalo Bills do in their offseason so we can all hear ourselves talk (or, write) superflously. Better yet, let's all give Marv Levy the personal praise and all the credit in the world, when in reality he's nothing more than a figurehead that probably works 2 hours a day and merely oversees operations...

Nobody said the Bills should move. I'm not saying the Bills won't be competitive (although I think 5-11 or 6-10 sounds about right right now), and I'm not saying I don't support the players on the roster. I'm just saying I think there were a few very questionable moves and that's that. For you guys to constantly berate and insult people who have a brain and can think for themselves (and understand the game of football) is ridiculous.

Okay Jon is a glass half empty guy along with some others. I'm a glass half full guy myself. Fair enough. No need to bicker.

I'm actually a glass is half full guy. I support getting rid of McGahee, he had no heart and is a major underachiever. I support letting Fletcher go, he's getting older and has limited range. I even supported letting Nate walk (too much money for a "pretty good" CB), and trading Spikes for Darwin Walker (too much money for a guy on the decline and injury-proned now). I liked the offensive line signings, and like the way the defensive backfield is being set up, along with the defensive line. I'm optimistic McCargo will pan out.

I think Lynch is a safe pick. Talent-wise, he is good and could be a good fit. However, the ghetto bird factor makes me nervous, ala McGahee. Posluszny is a decent find in the 2nd round. I think we gave up too much (early 3rd) to trade up 9 spots to get him, but I can live what that. What I didn't like was the rest of the draft. I thought, for a team that wants to get young and needs impact guys, we totally squandered the third round. If Edwards turns out decent, that's fine. However, as stated previously, I've seen the guy play dozens of times and he sucks! Look at his numbers. People compare him to Jay Cutler because they both weren't on stellar teams, but were in big conferences. Cutler at least could steal some games here and there with his arm and put up some stats. You can't say the same about Edwards. Third round was a total waste. I don't understand going RB in the 4th round either. If we need to get a retread back to help out AT and ML, why not sign Chris Brown or something, then get another CB or LB with that pick, along with the 3rds? Don't understand it.

Then myself and a few others get ripped with new threads popping up all over the place like Starbucks saying maybe we all feel the team should move to Canada or something. Give me a break. Didn't mean to confuse you guys with the facts...

It is one thing to be critical, but to claim you know what would have happened if we had chosen differently is the problem. Not saying it is you, but some posters seem to think they are better judges of talent than scouts and team personnel. They forget tho that they are the same people that had Siler and Alexander going in the 2nd or 3rd rounds, and had that guy last year (DLineman I think) going in the mid rounds only to go undrafted. All the second guessing gets old.

I agree with that, and will say that what I'm talking about is merely my opinion, although I feel it has a lot of merit. We'll see though. In the meantime, I hope I'm wrong and all of our draft picks work out great.

Re: Upon furtherererer Review (We should move to Winnipeg)

I still haven't seen any "facts" coming out of your posts. Seems like more opinions to me.

Like I said before, Edwards in the 3rd round was a value pick. When we trade him away in 2 years for a 2nd and 3rd and swapping 1st, you won't be complaining as loudly I suspect.

I like the Dwayne Wright pick. We've always needed a big goal back who can get us those 1st downs in 3rd and short. Lynch can do it too I think but why not have a specialist? Smash mouth football I do not mind. Takes the load off Marshawn and free up defenses on JP.

The rest of the low rounders are just projects and depth, no need to concern yourself with.

Why draft a guy in the 3rd round that we are posturing to trade for a second a few years from now? Talk about opportunity cost. As for some facts...

Would you care to use the stats you posted to make a point? Analyze the numbers a little or something?
