    Also here's something disturbing about your prediction.

    We were both young bushy eyed Bills fans at one point in 1998-2001 on the AOL forums.

    Now the drought has lasted so ****ing long we're both middle aged and bitter about our team.

    And the worst part. This drought has lasted longer than half of my entire life!

    Yeah but surely 17 years have put you into a new age bracket.

    Middle age just means you're between 35 and 58!

    Nice enough guy, subpar qb. I don't hate him, I hate the morons whondrafted him in the first. Thing is he was the least awful of a bad qb class

    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    The only good lineman he ever drafted was Jonas Jennings.

    But he'll be forever marred by his selection of Mike Williams.

    Re: E.J. Manuel signs with the Raiders

    Oh also, even though he was a late round draft pick by Donahoe, Mike Pucillo may be the worst lineman to ever suit up for the Bills. I'm sure a lot of you guys remember him.

    Donahoe truly did stuck drafting linemen.

    Just a scenario...

    The Raiders visit Buffalo this year.

    Carr goes down.

    EJ starts against the Bills and lights up our secondary.

    FML!!!!

    Class guy. Lousy QB.
    Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

    I'd say Mike Glennon has him beat. I'd probably take Landry Jones over him as well. Geno Smith and Matt Barkley are pushes.

    Does anyone really think EJ will beat out Connor Cook? He's either inactive or long gone by the time the Raiders get to Buffalo.

    Re: E.J. Manuel signs with the Raiders

    EJ is hot garbage. I finally came that realization after his last performance. I always said he was a good back up but he's not. Dude is worse than Trent Edwards. He will be cut by the Raiders after his first ten reps with the scout team.

    LOL...so, in a way, we traded Oakland EJ Manuel for WR Holmes. I think most fans would have pulled the trigger on that deal two years ago in a heartbeat.
