It is people like you i wish would find another team. I also wonder what you would do if/when the Bills win a SB. At what point during the season will you go from negative Nancy to bandwagon Bill??

Ha! I was more talking about Jboyst comments about the Ravens. Sad as i was typing that i was thinking about Kelly/Marv in the first SB against the Giants. Parcell's so out coached Marv, no way straight up talent the Giants should have won that game.

you are always very insightful, but when has good coaching and good QB play not won a SB? As for the Ravens this year, i agree with many they will not be the same team. I mean they stumbled into the playoffs and then got hot. They easily could be the fighting with the Browns for last in their division. The Bengals to me are the best team in the AFC North. Wow did i really say that?! Ha

That was my concern as well. kind of the 'really? did this just happen now?!!!' reaction. I remember in college we had a guy get hurt opening camp practice as we where doing our initial run out to stretch. He missed camp and never played a down that year. lets hope Kolb just has a slight sprain and can be back soon. Say what you will but Kolb provided the only vetran pressence at the most important position on the field.

Next time you pick up your order it is twice what it is now, you ready to do that???? Didn't think so....

Every day he sits there, i think reality begins to set in, no? I am sure at this point he is playing the 'lets see who gets hurt in camp' game. But even then, a team is not likely to hand out a big multi year deal to a guard they are only hoping to rent for a year. Lets hope our guys step up and answer the challenge and the Bills do not need to spend money at another position.

Someone brought up a good point about having Fitz contract go against that number this year, so by next year the Bills have more money to play with. Is that correct?

Exactly. Also speaks to the guys character i think. Which hopefully can translate into something on the field. He has the size, and i think athleticism, he also will put in the work. Lets hope his body holds up for him.

YEP!!!

Guess he does not have any mental issues? I mean i would think they would test for that right? ha!

I will take a guy with potential shut down corner written all over him vs a good guard.

IF Gilmore can shut down a wr, or at very least hold him in check it opens up so many more possibilities for a D Cord. A D can suddenly blitz much more due to the fact they have an unaccounted for man.

Difference is ESPN did not give updates and keep Rogers relevant like they did with Matheau. This could also be a product of where and how the programs where doing. LSU in National Championship hunt over the past several years. Tenn has not be relevant for a long time.

Rex's D will be gased. It really does not matter what style he runs. As long as Sanchez is the qb, fumbling of his Olines butt, the Jets will be a speed bump to the Pats.

This is the one which seems questionable to me! Seems as if maybe Harvin had some idea of this?

Look we need a solid Vet other then Stevie. Smith has speed and size, and i saw him make a few nice catches last year. It may not work out, but i am sure that the new contract address' this possibility.

Lets hope Troup can produce, one less piece the team would have to find. Branch is only here for a year most likely.

Of the 8 players that where franchised, Byrd is the only one who has not signed his tag tender or negotiated a long term deal. Did Parker represent any of the other 8? Or did he represent any other players who came up for FA this offseason and resigned with their teams? I wonder if Parker does indeed have some type of notion about Buffalo and thus does not want his players playing there unless they get paid top dollar? conspiracy theory? Maybe.

Love to see the details of the deal. i will guess maybe it will try to focus B. Smith at WR. A fair base salary with not crazy gauranteed. It most likely will include incentives for catches, yards, touchdowns, etc... My hope is that if B. Smith focus' his time and energy at WR he will be a solid one. The guy is 6'2 215lbs and can run like a deer. He has almost the same type of big play potential that CJ has. It may not pan out and he may not be able to take the step to becoming just a legit WR, but it is worth the shot.

I hear ya. You also could think of it like if it did not happen then it would happen first game. Which provides you with less time to adjust.

I agree with the age and points of their career. i will also say that right now i would take Ryan over Big Ben and P Manning. Push with E. Manning. Brees, Brady have about 2-3 years left maybe. Rodgers because of his age and what he has done would be my first QB. After that it would be a toss up between Ryan and E. Manning for me if i was looking to build a team for the next 6-9 years.

I will take Ryan before Luck or Wilson with out even thinking about it. Before P. Manning and Roethlisberger. I think he is even with Eli Manning- who has had the best front seven D in the league when he won the SB's. I think he is probably behind Brady and Rodgers. Maybe Brees. But that is it.

people said that about Peyton Manning for a long time. I watch every Falcons pretty much. They had a horrible D last year. Nolan did his best to make them average. The Falcons had little to no running game. It was so bad that on short yardage downs the falcons would often have to pass. Turner went over the hill quick. Yes Ryan as Roddy White and Julio Jones and Gonzalez. And he uses them. Vick had Roddy White and could do little to nothing with him. Ryan is one of the top 5 qb's in the league, he just is. And by your win the big one arguement, what do you think of Dan Marino? he was a top 3 qb for years while he played. As a Bills fan i hope E.J turns out to be as good as Ryan. If he does the Bills will be good for a long time, just like the falcons have been and will be!

I agree with you here, but Parker is what makes the NFL less than perfect. Agents ruin the game. They do.

You must not watch many Falcons games. Without Ryan the Falcons would still be..... the Bills. When you find a great QB, you pay the man. Ryan is great. The Falcons had no running game last year. Love this move by them. Before Ryan got there, the Falcons never had back to back winning seasons.
