Fair enough. Didn't mean to come across as an ass. Just comes naturally sometimes.
Same here. And it's always enjoyable to talk Bills draft, especially some of the hind sight doosy's we've had these past 12 years or so. But I was really hoping they'd address that defensive back field this season. May not have been super star talent there, but a couple of solid players really stood out to me, especially Reid from LSU.
In any event, what is done is done on round 1, let's see who the look at in round 2, personally, I see them going WR then TE if Ertz is off the board by 41, if not, then there is no reason not to take Ertz I would think. They need a threat of the end of the line that can block some to.

I have no feeling one way or the other of Mr. Pegula's role with the team. I don't feel I have enough information to make an informed decision as to whether or not he's been to involved, not involved enough or absent altogether with no sympathy for the fan base.
I'd like to hear the case being brought by PA on this, it will be interesting.

given the way that the nfl is running and trending nowadays, the qb position is so important, so paramount that a team cannot just go "best available" and hope to have any chance of success. teams simply must be willing to take risks on getting a good-to-great signal caller and they can't let up, can't relent on that until they've found one. because without one? you're lost.
While I agree with this assessment of the QB position, it doesn't change my mind set that he would have still been there in the 2nd round.
And with the Bills needing to address so many position still, Eric Reid, S, LSU would have been an excellent selection or Desmond Trufant, CB, Washington
would have addressed an additional need in the back field for them. Both of these players could make an instant impact.
Once again, filling some needs while at the same time still having the ability to pick the risky QB in the 2nd round.
But I realize the Bills were looking at Emanuel and wanted him, just wouldn't have been at 16 for me, at least not while other needs could have been filled to further enhance a porous defensive backfield.

Sorry but how can he be the complete package and wrong pick? Yes, he needs work but are you saying he can't become a franchise QB? I do hate that term. He needs to be a very good QB and you seem to think he can. That's why I questioned it
ah, much better.
Well, given his skill sets yet the rawness of them at this time, I just felt there were other positions that could have been upgraded or, in the Bills case, addressed, as opposed to the QB situation given the high risk I felt Manuel is. It's just a personal opinion, I watched him several games this past season, he made some down right terrible decisions on throws and in other cases his accuracy was what I would consider below average even for raw talent.
That's not to say he could not be a franchise QB, it's just to point out I personally felt there were better choices available come the 2nd round and I feel he would have been there in the 2nd round in any event.
Once again, it's just my personal views, I don't hate the pick, I don't love the pick. I'd much preferred they went with best available as opposed to what I would consider such a high risk investment with that pick.

Manuel was the wrong pick given the need for a franchise QB.
He is the complete package,
Manuel needs polishing for sure. There was better talent available at other positions with this pick in my most humble opinion and I follow college and the combine pretty close. Very High Risk.

How about questioning the entire post, not a part and parcel of one. I gave my opinion on why I felt he was the wrong pick in the following sentence. There is no reason for the ??

He is the complete package, but he won't be the starter this coming season I suspect. Kolb was brought in for that.

As for the 2nd round picks, ILB and TE are my choices personally, but I feel they will go with S and WR.
Once again, just a gut feeling with the Bills on this.
For some reason, no matter who is the GM of this team, they have had some terrible drafting over the years, Nix has been the most stable out of the bunch though, so, I'll defer what little knowledge I have of scouting players to him and his team of scouts. They know much more than I, but I still find that 16th overall pick highly suspect, only time will tell.

Nix has stated he'd like more picks, they trade down and pick up an additional 2nd rounder.

Yep, worked for Brad Boyes.
Played 65 games for Buffalo last year. Only had 23 points and 100 shots.
Has played 31 games for the Islanders. Has 26 points and 62 shots.
Absolutely!
Boyes had 2 really mediocre seasons with the Blues that weren't really injury maligned. But overall, if given the right talent, he can thrive as a 60 point player for 3 or 4 more years. I don't see why not.
Buffalo lacked the talent, still does.

WOW!
Vancouver got fleeced, and big time.
Hodgson is light years better than Kassian and will be a stud centerman for years to come.
Just WOW.......

Stafford for Hemsky straight up, get'r done Darcy!
Solves 2 problems, Sabres get rid of Stafford to a place where he has family and is possibly wanted, Edmonton gets rid of a player they are looking to deal
It doesn't get Buffalo another C, but it does get Stafford out of here
Why would Buffalo trade away Stafford for a RW'er that's going to be a UFA at the end of the season?
Stafford for Hemsky and a 2nd rd draft pick, maybe.
-
Ok, so.....what your saying is that Stafford needs to go, right? :P
We all already are aware of this. Boyes can fill his spot when he comes back for the remainder of the season.

as I write this from the couch I am almost 100% sure my fiance and I are breaking up after 5 years and its not my decision, the sabres winning the stanley cup tomorrow could not fill the gap that now grows within the confines of my heart and soul.
It is always sad to move beyond that which you have known for so long. But time will heel any wound and in the end, life will go forward, the sun will rise tomorrow and you have another journey to begin.
There is always the memories you shared and right now it may appear as though you can't recover. Loving a woman can be the most difficult challenge in a mans life, it can also be hurtful yet filled with joy. When it's time to move on, the pain sometimes shows forth.
But, there will be others, rest assured. You will love again and another void is filled in your life.
Chin up, no slouching, press forward. :thumbsup:
The "trial" of Terry Pegula
in The Aud Club
Posted
As a potential juror, I'll refrain from any Terry Pegula news from this point forward as to minimize the amount of exposure that may lead to an unbalanced or bias view.
I would however, like the trial to commence prior to the draft in an effort to ensure further evidence in lieu of that day not be allowed in the trial as I fear it would lead to a prolonged process, thereby robbing the defendant of his right to a speedy trial.
