PS: I know I picked A. Rodgers as MVP and offensive player of the year yet chose P. Manning and Brees to lead in QB rating and passing yards...but heres why.
I think Rodgers may not lead league in yards, but will be top 3 at min. He will likely finish closely behind Brees in yards. Manning may have a higher QB rating because he is so incredibly effecient, but I think Rodgers has more yards and TD's than him.
So overall, I think Rodgers has the better season and is top 3 in just about every passing category and wins what might be the toughest division in football...

With the season kicking off I figured we can throw some predictions out that dont just focus on the Bills or the AFC East, but the whole NFL...
Here are the topics and my predictions for them:
MVP: Aaron Rodgers
Defensive Player of the Year: Ed Reed
Offensive Player of the Year: Aaron Rodgers
Offensive Rookie of the Year: Hakeem Nicks
Defensive Rookie of the Year: Aaron Curry (tough choice between him and Ray Maulauga)
Comeback Player of the Year: Carson Palmer (I picked him over Brady because I think Palmer makes Cincy relevant again and makes a more noticeale difference on that teams win/loss record while NE was still strong without Brady)
NFL Leaders in:
QB Rating: P. Manning
Passing Yards: Drew Brees
Rushing: Adrian Peterson
Recieving Yards: Andre Johnson
Receptions: Wes Welker
TD's: Adrian Peterson
Sacks: Mario Williams
AFC Champs: Steelers
NFC Champs: Green Bay
SUPER BOWL WINNER: Steelers (as much as I hate to say it, but they are just the most complete team)

I'm sorry, but you're flat out wrong here, there's no other way to put it. He had already come down from $13 mill, so when you say he wasn't coming down, you're just factually wrong.
Oh, that's the whole reason for preseason and training camp? Really? That's funny, then, isn't it, that the Bills announced in the first week of camp that they had named the starters the o-line this season. If Bell had outplayed Walker months ago, or even weeks ago, he would have been promoted at that time. This is terribly disturbing, because if Walker was so bad that he had to be cut, then waiting so long means that Bell couldn't clearly outplay a guy not even worth keeping as a backup right up till 6 days before the season. This is, at best, indicative of some kind of screw-up.
Let's hope that Bell does well, but indications are not good. It sounds like even if he succeeds, it will take a while.
Geezus you are dense...Bell OBVIOUSLY did not our play Walker months ago...but he DEVELOPED (have you ever heard of that word before) into a better LT after going through the ENTIRE offseason and preseason.
And if you believe for one instance that the O Line was "set" months ago and the the coaches dont plan on using preseason and practice performances to adjust the lineup, then you would be the dumbest person on this board. Real football isnt like Madden on our Xbox where player ratings stay pretty close to what they were when you started your new franchise in preseason...

Has anybody offered Losman a $100,000,000 contract? Case closed. Why don't you buy yourself a donut and go try to sell it for $10,000, see if you get any takers. You might learn something about market value.
Peters got market value for a player as good as he is.
If you are going to open your mouth and be a smartass then at least know what the hell you are talking about...
The dude wrote "Have you ever heard the saying something is worth EXACTLY what you pay for it?" to say that Peters is worth every dollar he demanded.
My response is that his statement is completely and totally false. Javon Walker isnt worth the $55 million contract Oakland gave him, and everyone knew it when he signed it. So is Javon Walker a $55 million WR because Al Davis paid him that? NO, so get the hell out of here with these rediculous statements already...

I don't know if this idea has been kicked around or not but I think it is very plausible.
Is it possible that New England and Belicheat have had this plan all along? Did they plan on trying to steal a pick from the Raiders and get Seymore back?
I think the plan was to make sure the Bills didn't game plan for him throwing a wrench into things for them on MNF. They are hoping because the paper work was filed by the Raiders before the physical ever happened that the trade is a done deal and somehow they steal a pick from the Raiders. (I know it's not legal and the Raiders would then own his rights but you now how the Pats* get away with stuff and the NFL may rule in their favor in some ridiculous way)
Is this jackass just at it again trying to screw the system and make sure the Bills are ill prepared Monday night with their rookie O-line and Bell at LT?
What is everyone elses thought because I feel like they are up to something and they knew Seyemore to the Raiders was never really going to happen.
hahahahahaha...this is the craziest conspiracy theory I have heard in a while...Geezus, all BB ever did was video tape some things he wasnt supposed (something MANY teams have done) and now all of a sudden he is as clever as Oceans 11 team...
Stop smoking the "Jenkem" kid...

Id rather get Brian Brohm, now he showed stuff in college that would warrent a second chance.
agreed

1. Run using counters (single back twin formation counter is great, so is the fourth set under I formation).
2. Roll out passes but make sure you get Trent facing downfield when you throw.
3. Routes where the reciever or TE is crossing the field are the best
4. STAY IN THE POCKET...dont drop back too far or outside the pocket UNLESS its a roll out play.
Im averaging about 50 pts a game playing my Bills Franchise using 7 min qtrs and playing conservatively to rack up stats for everyone.
The hardest thing for me was defending the pass, but I actually blitz 2 LB's and then I control Maybin and take him off the line and put him just behind Williams while shifting the whole line left towards Schobel and having the D come up showing blitz...doing this gets a mad rush and now with a pass rush I am shutting down the pass game, getting sacks and forcing INT's...

What he said. ^^^^^^^^
Nobody disagrees that we needed help in the middle. But did we have to weaken ourselves at the most important position to get it.
Peters wanted market value, which is what he got.
You say "I said this all offseason, he will sign with the team he is traded to for LESS than he was asking the Bills for, and thats exactly what he did..." and this shows where you are wrong. OF COURSE he signed for less than he asked for. That's how negotiations work, for God's sake. A quick review. Peters asked for more money than Long got, $13+ mill. Then the Bills raised their offer and Peters lowered his. This is how negotiations work. If you took the two original offers, $7 mill and $13 mill and halve the difference, you get what Peters signed for. Then the Bills raised their offer, probably to something in the neighborhood of $9 mil and a bit. And Peters lowered his offer to around $11 mill. Split the difference and you again get what Peters signed for. This is how negotiations work.
Any idiot knew that he was going to sign for less than he was demanding. THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE DO WHEN THEY NEGOTIATE. Peters didn't want out of Buffalo, he wanted the salary that he got, and there is no evidence whatsoever to the contrary.
He wanted market value. He got market value. The Bills were not willing to pay market value. That's what happened.
You really don't get it? People aren't angry that Walker was leap-frogged by Bell. We are incredibly frustrated by the timing (how come this wasn't done weeks ago to give Bell lots of first team reps?), and by how the Chambers thing was handled, and the things that surround this move. We're worried, we're deeply worried. If Bell is so good, how come he wasn't promoted weeks ago?
Yes, that is how negotiations work, but he wasnt coming down in Buffalo...he wasnt playing the negotiating game, DESPITE seeing how the FO paid everyone else on the team when they just showed up and did their job and went about it professionally. He not only held out, but cut off contact, and didnt back off his demands...and all of that was completely different how he conducted himself in Philly and quickly lowered his demands to take less money.
As far as your question about why wasnt Bell promoted weeks ago...well, hello thats the WHOLE reason for preseason and training camp...to let players play it out and fight for starting spots...weeks ago, Bell was the inexperienced backup...then he outplayed the seasoned vet and they made a decision to promote him. He beat the odds...
-
Have you ever heard the saying something is worth EXACTLY what you pay for it? Peters got paid what he was worth and Philly footed the bill. Peters was worth that much because other teams, unlike the Bills, were willing to pay it.
If Trent makes it through 16 weeks without needing crutches I'm sure he will agree with you on all of the "help" he has gotten on OL!!!!
Thats may be true in Real Estate, but not in football. If you pay JP Losman a $100,000,000 contract he is still worth only a buck fifty...so your something is worth exactly whay you pay for it theory has NO place in football...
-
Keep telling yourself that! Maybe one of us will believe it. He just wanted to be paid what a two time pro bowl LT at what 26? years of age was worth.
Kid, its literally FACTS not what I am telling myself...you are the one with opinnion...
FACT: Peters signed for less money (in a heartbeat I might add too) in Philly than he was demanding in Buffalo. He didnt want to be here, showed up fat, was the worst rated LT in the game last year in terms of sacks...what more do you want?
-
Hey I heard Kyle Orton beat out Rex Grossman in Chicago a few year ago. Does that mean Kyle Orton is a good starting QB that you want running your offense? It;s even worse with Walker-Bell. Just because Bell beat out Walker doesn't mean he will be good at his job. ALL IT MEANS IS HE WAS BETTER THAN WALKER!!!! PERIOD!
I hope Bell blossoms into the next Jason Peters. I really do. I'll also be pissed when he wants to get paid what he's worth and we let him walk to.
What are you talking about? Why do you keep bringing up Peters about the Walker-Bell situation? Bell beat out Walker, so they got rid of Walker who was a high priced baby who doesnt want to sit on the bench and was going to sulk all season...

A sweep of Miami and the Jets, interesting after going 0 for 6 against our division last year. I was on the fence about Indy, went with the loss because not convinced Indy will have everything wrapped by then.
Think about this...with Trent and JP playing HORRENDOUS in all 6 divisional games last year, we were still in position to win the game late in the game. So yes, I know it seems like a leap of faith, but we are a better overall team IMO than both Mia and NYJ, but it comes down to whether or not Trent (or whoever our QB is in those games) can actually manage a solid outing in the divisional games...No way we beat NE in either game IMO, but I think Indy will have their seeding sewn up by week 17

This is a well written, well thought out argument.
Unfortunately, it doesn't make sense. I'm not even sure who won the starting RB job in NE - Fred Taylor or Maroney, but let's say it's Fred Taylor. Do you see the Patriots just releasing Maroney because he makes a little money and isn't going to start? No, you don't. Because a halfway intelligently run team knows about depth, about injuries, situations, etc. that call for the team to have reserves with some level of experience that can perform in place the starters when needed.
Yes, yes, I hear you about to say that Walker "sulked" and wasn't going to be any use, but the Patriots are disappointed in Maroney too. Yet he's under contract and gives them bits and pieces of utility here and there when they need him. He's not the starter but should be, but that doesn't mean he should just be unceremoniously cut from the team.
There's no way to avoid that this is purely a $$$ move by Ralph, however well you try to argue otherwise.
Fair points, but I didnt say it wasnt a $$$ move, in fact, I am sure it is, and a good one. They brought back a guy for far less money who isnt that much worse than the overpaid guy who would sulk and be a problem all year.
So you can have a guy on your bench for less money who wants to be here and greatfull to be here or you can have an overpaid guy on your bench sulking wanting out...
Give me the cheap guy who is not that much worse than Walker and serviceable as a backup (and knows the system very well as he has been here, I mean its not like he is some guy off the street) than the overpaid guy sulking on the bench everyday of the week...

Bust out your crystal balls...What do you think the Bills record will be by the end of the season?
Game By Game:
Week 1 @ New England LOSS
2 Tampa Bay WIN
3 New Orleans LOSS
4 @ Miami WIN (we should have won last year until Trent cost us the game in the 4th)
5 Cleveland WIN
6 @ NY Jets WIN
7 @ Carolina LOSS
8 Houston LOSS (may win if Schaub gets hurt again)
9 BYE
10 @ Tennessee LOSS
11 @ Jacksonville WIN (we are a better all around team and O line will better by now)
12 Miami WIN
13 NY Jets WIN (we are a better overall team if QB can produce something)
14 @ Kansas City WIN
15 New England LOSS
16 @ Atlanta LOSS
17 Indianapolis WIN (Indy is better, but none of the starters will play more than a quarter, we Win as we need and play all our starters)
Final Record 8-8 with Jauron losing his job!
I put my changes in Bold and why...

I've been a Bills Fan since I could watch them on TV with my dad and my grandpa. All I'd like to see is them get back deep into the Playoffs before my grandpa dies. I'm not even delusional about the superbowl.
After this offseason and this most recent sh*t with Walker and Schonert, I hope Bill Bellicheck kills us. I hope he sets a new record for the greatest blow out in history so it can go right in next to Ralph in the hall.
Our Front Office deserves to go down in history as one of the worst. They deserve to have their names spoken decades from now in connection with the biggest blowout ever.
This is cruel. We didn't deserve this.
So how long have you been getting high by huffing "Jenkem"? I think they have rehab centers for that now...
-
Walker was a fat blob better suited to competitive eating. or nose tackle in football terms. this guy is not a left tackle.
that does point out jauron's and schonert's retardation though. that they would even try him at left tackle.
i also like the firing of schonert.
hopefully jauron is next
Agreed...Turk was awful and Walker got outplayed...we are a better team for these moves....

tyson losing may be the only one....
the pistons were the eastern conference champions. they were a good team. Not a shock.
same with the giants. they were a good team also. they were the NFC champs. Not a shock.
you act like our first team offense has scored a touchdown in the preseason. you act like we didn't just fire our offensive coordinator. you act like we didn't just cut our starting left tackle. you act like the patriots aren't hungry after last season losing their golden boy tom brady for the season. you act like the patriots didn't miss the playoff after having an 11-5 record. you act like the patriots aren't going to be hungry as a wild boar after not eating for 2 months.
don't underestimate what an upset this would be.
I will bet everything in the world that if the Bills beat the Pats that if you asked every sports journalist in the world to name the top 50 biggest upsets in the history of all sports, not one would include that win.
Also, I guess you also know more than the entire sports odds makers in the world because you are saying the Bills beating the Pats is bigger than the Pats losing to the Giants (in what is called one of the biggest upsets in all of sports history) in the biggest game of all of sports...let me show you the odds of both games genius...
Pats VS Giants in SB: Pats -12
Pats VS Bills Monday night: Pats -10.5
So the entire sports betting world believes the Giants had less of a chance to beat the Pats going into the two games, yet you are trying to claim a Bills win would be the biggest upset in the history of sports? Wow that is dumb...
And I love how you say Tyson losing "may" be more shocking when its literally the #1 most shocking upset ever on just about everyones list...

somebody was gonna beat those guys.
Congrats, one of the dumbest posts ever...

Ths Eagles gave Peters six-year contract for $60MM.
Walker was making $5MM per season.
They should have dumped Walker and re-signed Peters.
What part of Peters did NOT want to play is hard for Bills fans to get? I mean seriously...He signed for LESS money in Philly because it was not about the money it was about the fact he wanted out of here...Its a win win for Peters...he either GROSSLY overpaid to stay in Buffalo (where he did not want to be) or he gets traded.
The best part about the whole we should have kept Peters people as they also ignore the fact that when he finally reported last year he was GROSSLY out of shape proving that he did not care at all about helping this team, he cared about his money. If the team mattered he would have at least been prepared to be in shape IF he got his contract demands met. So even IF we give him the money he wanted (which he wasnt even close to worth) he STILL would have been just as fat and out of shape when he reported and still would have had a crappy year...
Not here is the best part...if we would have paid him and he goes on to struggle and give up all those sacks (which he would have still as he was in such bad shape) then you all would be screaming the FO is sooooooo stupid for paying some unmotivated bum who doesnt want to be here one of the dumbest contracts we have ever handed out...
people on here are priceless

Why do you people even bother coming on these boards to whine about the Bills. You all act like you know everything that the FO should be doing and criticize every decision the make. Trent is a talented smart QB that has been the brunt of all you love-em/hate-em so called wanna be loyal fans. Of course he looked like crap this off season, Schonert didn't game plan for any pre-season game. Schonert didn't see eye to eye with anyone on the offense, much less Trent.
And for all the responses that will quote his performance last year, we had a bad receiving corp. It wasn't to hard for a defense to double cover Evans leaving Trent with no-hands Reed and 5'8" $1.60 Roscoe Parrish. Defensives haven't seen our offense this year and neither have any of you. T.O. played one series!! Schonert was the most predictable play caller and did I already mention that no one on the offensive liked him or his offensive scheme.
I can't stand fans that do nothing but complain, I wouldn't even call yourself a fan.
the season hasn't even started and you've already quit on your team.
If we are 1-7 come the bye week then feel free to load the boards with all your pessimistic bull.
Lets go Buffalo! There are still true, loyal fans that haven't given up
Another apologist...let me tell you where you went wrong (they are in bold) above...
1. Talented and smart? On what grounds? He may be a smart man, but he definitely has not been a smart QB and clearly struggles to read defenses and get rid of the ball. He makes bad decison after bad decision...
2. Looked like crap this offseason? How about he looked like crap in 8 of his 12.5 starts last year and was terrible in the second half and horrendus in every divisional game. In fact, we cant beat a team with a winning record with Trent at the helm and in those losses Trent has poor games. So why do you act like he all of a sudden looks like crap?
3. Our WR core last year was not the worst in the league, and there were QB's far more productive last year with a LOT less at WR. Secondly, your comment on Reed shows your Trent apologist side because Reed has great hands and was clutch for this team last year. This offense really regressed when he got hurt.
4. And on your point about what is a fan...you are a total biased homer if you are incapable of objectively looking at players, personell decisions, etc. and be prepared to criticize or question them...in fact, if you cant do that you have no businsess being on a message board designed to do just that.
So go stomp your feet, cloes your eyes, and plug your ears and call the Whaaaa-bulance if you cant take your beloved team coming under analytical evaluation...
-
name a bigger shock, honestly. i challenge you.
hahahahahahaha...ok I will take your unbeliveably dumb challenge of name a more shocking win in the history of sports...
Buster Douglas KO's Tyson...there will never be a more shocking defeat ever in sports...
Det beats the Lakers with Shaq, Kobe, Malone, and Payton in the finals...another...
FYI: The Giants beating NE in the SB 2 years ago is more shocking than if the Bills win this Monday night after Brady has not played since his SB loss in 2007 and the NE defense is missing 6 of its best defensive players from the last time Brady played (Bruschi, Vrabel, Seymore, Harrison, Samuel, Hobbs, etc.) from that SB team...
Double FYI: NEVER will a loss on the first game of a season ever be in the running for the biggest loss of all time...and you act like we are the worst team in football, which we are not...and you act like the Pats are the best team in football, which they are not.

Do 90% of the posters on here?
Nope...see my signature for some comedy gold
-
The best part of all the dooms day peeps freaking out over the release of Walker are also all the same people saying we are doomed becuase we had Walker at LT...Then we gets BEAT out by a BETTER player, they freak out as if NOW our season is officially over.
So my question to them is simple...if Walker was slated to start at LT going into the preseason, and at that time you thought he was too big and slow to play LT effectively, then how is our team worse off giving his starting spot to Bell who was better all preseason and wants it more with way more upside?
The best thing too is that outside of RB, the offensive is line is one of the easier positions to come in as young player and be effective...
This board provides so much humor...
NFL Season Prediction time...
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
Ths sad thing is that your predictions wont even be true amongst the team...Trent will not be the MVP, Lynch will lead the team in Rushing, TO will lead the team in Receptions, Lynch or TO will lead in TD's, we will be champs of nothing, Schobel will be comeback player of the year, Poz will be defensive player of the year, and TO will be offensive player of the year...
So even if we held an all bills predictions, about 80% of yours are way off the mark adding to the irrelevance of your post...
