I agree 100%. Everyone is resigned to the fact that EJ is out because he has been practicing with the 3rd team and Cassel and Tyrod are in because they have been with the 1's and 2's. How about consider that the complete opposite is true. They already know they are keeping EJ so are giving the other 2 players most of the quality reps to decide which among those 2 will be kept as well. That is my thinking. I guess we will see. My bet is he stays. And starts.

And then there's this...

I know very little about Charles Clay and am not sure if this was posted elsewhere, but it is extremely informative and makes me better understand the Bills desire to sign him. http://www.thephinsider.com/2014/7/17/5913477/the-curious-case-of-charles-clay

Thank you so much to everyone for the replies. I will definitely be at one of them.

Getting off cruise ship Sunday morning, was wondering if anyone knew where I could watch the Bills game.... Thanks

I disagree. I think with a changing room a lot of $100 jerseys would be walking out under sweatshirts, etc. There's a lot of very expensive things that would disappear. I do however think more mirrors are needed. They only have 2 by the hats. None on the other side of the store by the jerseys.

Or he could sit him for the year possibly severely devaluing him going into free agency.

The Bills have 49 sacks. 1 from the record with 2 games to go.

Maybe, just maybe he made a deal with the devil... "I'll give you a better arm, super bowl rings, fame, fortune, and a smoking hot wife. You just might have to give me one little thing in return. "A pro, and leader, in every sense.

Can we do this?

It's a degenerative condition. This isn't me looking to find trivial things wrong with Byrd. This is a legitimate concern. " there is at least a 40% chance a player with those risk factors will eventually require hip surgery or other treatment for degenerative conditions."

http://m.usatoday.com/article/news/2605795'>http://m.usatoday.com/article/news/2605795 Everyone is ecstatic that Jarius Byrd is back but why is everyone so willing to throw a big contact his way? He has been diagnosed with the same hip problem that Percy Harvin has that has at least a 40% chance of requiring hip surgery. This after Byrd has already had problems with and lost playing time because of his hips. Maybe the Bills are doing the right thing in not throwing him a huge contract with a ton of guaranteed money. "Harvin hadn't appeared on an injury report with a hip issue since Weeks 2 and 3 of the 2010 season. But every NFL team that examined Harvin at the 2009 scouting combine knew he had impingement and tightness in both hips as well as weak abductor muscles, two people with knowledge of those examinations told USA TODAY Sports. The people spoke on condition of anonymity since the results were not released.A study published in January — co-authored by Vikings team physician Christopher Larson, Tennessee Titans team physician Thomas Byrd and hip specialist Bryan Kelly — suggests there is at least a 40% chance a player with those risk factors will eventually require hip surgery or other treatment for degenerative conditions.Another player from the 2009 draft, Buffalo Bills safety Jairus Byrd, showed similar signs on X-rays at the combine and ended up missing the end of his rookie season to have surgery for a labral tear — the same type of injury Kelly is to fix for Harvin today in New York". http://m.usatoday.com/article/news/2605795

http://isportsweb.co...n=zergnet_73529 The Cincinnati Bengals rank first in player arrests since 2000 at 40, following them are the Vikings (40), Broncos (35), Titans (32), Buccaneers (28), Chiefs (27), Jaguars (27) and Browns (26) respectively. All these teams combine for a 775-888 record and one Super Bowl win (Buccaneers XXXVII). The good guys of the NFL are the New York Jets with 11 arrests, followed by the Cardinals (11), Eagles (12), Giants (13), 49ers (13), Bills (14), Cowboys (15) and Patriots (15) with a combined record of 861-801 and five Super Bowl wins (Giants XLII, XLVI; Patriots XXXVI, XXXVII, XXXIX).

I'll take this please... http://walterfootball.com/draft2014.php

I thought I was the only one that noticed this. I'm curious about another station as well. I cannot believe the Bills are so blatantly ignored on a daily basis. The 2 most recent times were when Sheppard was traded and all morning they talked about was hockey. And then the Monday morning after a 3 days Bills rookie camp, I turn on the radio hoping to hear some thoughts or insider information from someone actually attending the practices and once again it's hockey and Tiger freaking Woods and Sergio Garcia. I literally couldn't believe it. I knew immediately that that was what was on the front page of the Buffalo News sports section, because that's what they'll always talk about. I for one could care less about golf or the rest of the Nhl world, especially after the Sabres season is over. I want to hear about the Buffalo Bills. From someone that actually attended the practices. I want to hear about how EJ Manuel looked. Why Da'Rick Rogers was getting no catches. On Kiko Alonso flying around and hitting his teammates. On how easily Goodwin ran past everyone. So then my next alternative is to come on here and I get to read about posters bashing the Bills, or fighting like children amongst themselves, or policing the boards like they own them and no one else is entitled to have an opinion unless they devote their entire existence to the site and have 5000 posts. I just want to get easy to access, quick information about the team I grew up loving. Some posters are very knowledgeable, and others provide valuable links to other sites that are extremely informative and interesting. I thoroughly enjoy their posts. I listen generally in the morning to Howard Simon and at 3:00 to Schopp and the Bulldog. Those are when I'm driving to work, and driving home. I would love to listen to Murph but I'm home trying to spend time with my family. I wish WGR would move John Murphy to an earlier time. I'm sick about listening to days upon days about hockey and the 5 million games they play. I may be forced to just trying to listen to recordings of the John Murphy Show. I even wish the Bills would post more videos of the practices. 3 minutes just isn't enough. I would even pay to get access to watching practices live or to even watching recordings of them. Well I guess I'm rambling about pretty much everything, but I am 46 years old. I love the Bills. I'm a season ticket holder. I've been to both Dallas Superbowls. I've spent thousands of dollars on Superbowl tickets to watch my beloved Bills get annihilated while listening to heckling and jeering from boastful Dallas fans. My children are barely even interested in the Bills because they've never seen a winning team or the Bills in the playoffs. But I hang on to the past hoping that the Bills will become amazing again in my lifetime.

Amen!

It will without a doubt be Nassib sometime in the 1st round. And contrary to several opinions on this board he is nowhere near being a clone of Ryan Fitzpatrick and he will be a very good NFL QB. He has a strong arm, quick release, throws the ball on a rope, is intelligent, and knows and will run the Bills system efficiently and effectively. He goes through his progressions quickly, is extremely knowledgeable in film study, hardworking, durable, passionate for the game, hates to lose, and is a blue collar player who will be a very good pick for the Bills and Buffalo. That is my prediction. Barkley has nowhere near the arm of Nassib, appears to lob most of his throws, and will not be the Bills pick. Nor will Geno Smith.

And HOT chicks!

Concerning Jay Skurski's article in the Buffalo News today titled "Bills' Whaley part of fact-finding missions, " Mr. Whaley is quoted as saying "I always tell people my job is to make Buddy's job assistance easy as possible. I want to go out there - and for lack of a better term - betthe foot soldier to track down all the information. I need to take all the information out there, funnel it to the best three or four choices and give Buddy the options to make that choice. It's been the same since I got here. You got to go in there with eight guys that you want and you say 'heck yeah, I'd love to have that guy at 8.' So you're happy no matter what happens in the draft. Everybody says, well is draft day all crazy and stuff? If you set your board right and you're comfortable with it, you just sit back and let the names peel off. Then you say 'well out of those eight guys, that's the guy left.' That's what we want." I don't know if I'm reading too much into these statements, but to me it seems like a very passive way to approach the draft. He's more or less saying we find eight guys we like, then sit back and wait and then take whoever is left over. I don't want that in our draft room. I don't want our scouts and GM "sitting back." I want them actively monitoring what's going on, making calls, discussing options, and doing anything and everything to improve their draft any way they can. What it sounds like to me is that in no way whatsoever will they attempt to move up or down in the draft. It sounds like they are completely locked into pick 8 no matter what, unless maybe someone approaches them. And "It's been the same since I got here.". I just can't see this happening in the New England draft room. I can not see Bill Belichick just sitting there and peeling names off. Am I reading too much into this, an unprepared, off the cuff statement? Or have and will the Bills just let the chips fall where they may? Are they completely locked into pick eight? And will they just passively sit back as the draft progresses waiting for their turn to "peel a name off the board?"

Thank you very much, that was a very detailed and intelligent response. That was what I had figured but I just couldn't understand that with the thousands of other people he could have hired, he just happened to choose our OC's father. I realize he may know him or have worked with him before, and I know he was a great coach as well, it just still struck me as odd. Thanks again.

I actually like Nassib and would have no problem at all if they drafted him with the 8th or subsequent picks. My question is "What does having OC Nathaniel Hackett's father coaching him mean?" I mean if the Bills really do like him do they want him doing well at the combine or in the Senior Bowl? It seems kind of crazy to me to have your OC try and make the quarterback you like do better at the combine so more teams become interested in him. You would almost think they would want the exact opposite. Maybe I'm just reading too much into this. Or maybe they're not interested in him at all, but do like him as a person so they actually want him to do as well as possible for his own personal gain. If Nassib really wanted to play here, to be reunited with his old coach and offensive coordinator would he ever intentionally tank any part of the Senior Bowl or the combine so he could slide to the Bills in the 2nd round? Would the coaches ever suggest this to him if they really did want him as well or is that beyond ludicrous from the perspective of a player trying to earn money who is also represented by an agent? What is the pay scale difference between being taken with the 8th pick, to a trade up or down into the bottom of the first, to the Bills selection in the 2nd round? I'm just curious for my own knowledge.

Interesting views from 49ers fans on why they lost: Donte S**tner I thought our secondary turned in one of the worst performances in SB history. Whitner was terrible in first half. Just plain awful. Whitner is HORRIBLE in pass coverage. Putrid safety play. Reasons we lost: 1. Whitners first half coverage. 2. Mental mistakes. 3. Whitners first half coverage. 4. Not playing safeties deep. 5. Cully getting beat. 6. Whitners first half coverage. 7. The last 3 plays were just wtf. 8. Whitners first half coverage. http://www.49erswebzone.com/forum/niners/ http://www.49erswebzone.com/forum/niners/170927-your-reasons-why-lost/ http://www.49erswebzone.com/forum/niners/170944-defensive-thoughts/ http://www.49erswebzone.com/forum/niners/170926-defensive-backfield-needs-major-overhaul/ It's not merely sour grapes from Bills fans.

Does anyone have a link to a website with free downloadable fantasy football helmets or logos. I used to use helmet-depot.com but it's not up and running anymore. Or even a site with good reasonably priced logos. Thanks in advance.
