Paying Hardy for the number isn't something you go public with. So Owens isn't going to get into details with it. You might just notice Hardy showing up early for team meetings and wearing a presidential Rolex.

guys, mainly the ones hinging their critique of jay cutler on "him saying he's better than elway".. he never said that
He said HIS ARM is stronger than Elway's.
Sorry, I forgot quarterbacks throw with their feet.

Let me get this right - we are all getting on Cutler's case because of his one comment regarding his arm being better than Elway's ? Is that all we have on him ? Over-rated or not, he has put up better numbers than Trent. He is the one who worked his rear last off-season with his WRs. I like that work ethic. And, I don't mind a bit of cockiness if his numbers back him up. Just because his new coaching staff doesn't like him does not mean they should engage in a PR war to down play his value.
If you say, he had better weapons, then we have excellent WRs now. I think we will be better off if we have Cutler throwing to Evans and TO than Trent. And if Cassel set the price range for QBs, then I would argue Cutler should be had for a second or third rounder.
My question is simply based on the potential relationship between T.O. and Cutler. Yes, we are getting on Cutler's case about the Elway comment, because no matter how much you try to defend the fact that you want your quarterback to be confident, you want them to be composed as well. Does Peyton make that comment? McNabb? Brees? Warner? No. Cutler's statement was very assinine. Not to mention his little girly spat with Rivers. If Edwards throws 23 TDs last year and 10 INTs and says he thinks he's better than Jim Kelly, this board would murder him. And don't give me some excuse that both Rivers and Cutler are of a different generation of QBs and are changing the ways.
And why are people already writing off Edwards? He's only played 1.5 regular seasons, last year was his first full season to start and he didn't screw it up like J.P. or Bledsoe or dare I say RJ. And no I'm not writing him off because I think he has more composure and maturity than Cutler, not to mention the support of Bill Walsh. I'm not saying he's our savior but I am saying he deserves at least 1 more season to see his progressions. We saw major signs of progress last year against Oakland, Jacksonville, and even when WE went to Denver. Some of you in favor of trading Edwards off seem to have Snyderitis.
L.T.? Cutler? Gonzalez? Oh brother..
Why not Belicheck too?Sorry I'll get off the soapbox now.

another clown who seems to think the buffalo bills character philosophy works. cutler is 10 times better than our noodle armed injury prone qb
Okay, let's put down the gasoline and rationalize here. Do you really think Owens and Cutler could work nicely together? Cutler's a great quarterback, I'll give him that, but he's nowhere near John Elway and like Owens he likes drama (i.e. Philip Rivers rivalry, Elway comment). I think Trent would be more willing to work with Owens and make sure they develop a good relationship and chemistry moreso than Cutler would.
-
Not to depress anyone even more, but what really sucked about that is the previous year we lost in Miami at the end of the game too. What was it, 3rd and goal with 9 seconds left and Flutie was sacked and fumbled. Who was that Jason Taylor or Trace whatever his name was?
-
If Cutler and Owens were on the same team, you'd have the Owens and McNabb saga times 100! Cutler's already got an early headstart by saying he's better than John Elway.

Oh Mel Kiper.... *clicks exit*

By the way, dude, you really should have tossed in a link to that ...

(Chuck comes on at about the 7:00 mark.)
"Even the most optimistic people say, 'He can make them better IF ...' There are a lot of ifs and buts about his presence -- and why wouldn't there be, because of his history? But I will say this, guys. If for some reason he found a way to corral himself for a year, this guy can still play, and if everything else worked out, it would be a tremendous deal. But I've got to say that I think the risks by far outweigh the rewards, as you saw in today's column."
***
"This will be the 37th year I've covered them. I've covered some bad football teams, and some very good ones. Clearly, this team has not had very players in its history -- with the exception of the Super Bowl years -- that has T.O.'s kind of star power.
"You know, I would love this to work out. I really would, because it serves me well. If the Bills win, fans are more interested in what I write, they care more about the team, and it works well for everybody. But I can't envision, given his body of work, that he can let himself come to Buffalo and be the second banana to Lee Evans.
"I'm very sympathetic to Lee, because he's stuck with a team that really has not done a great deal win-wise. It's a team that really hasn't done a great job of getting him any help, and getting the double-teams off him. And now there's a guy who maybe can do that, but a guy whose ego is so ginormous that it's going to be all about him. In a way, when the Bills try to do something -- in my view -- even when they try to do something right for Lee, it's going to come back and bite them, and the guy who's really going to get the incisors laid into him is Lee Evans. And I feel badly about that."
***
Regarding Trent, he concluded, "I think he's kind of like the fans who want this to work. But there's a part of you that says, 'This might not end well.'"
(interview runs approximately 22 minutes)
Sorry Lori. I agree with you though, it'll be interesting to see who's point of view wins.

For the record, 41 years old here, and I think you sound like an idiot with this post, Doc.
There is no "realism" in constant negativity. Certainly no more "realism" than exists in constant optimism. The difference is that optimists are a lot more fun to be around.
Following sports in general, or one team in particular, is a voluntary activity, delightfully useless and irrelevant to any real world concerns. To choose to turn following a team into an excuse to run around like Eeyore making critical comments is the right of every free human being, but let's not pretend that it is some higher calling. It is more likely a sign of clinical depression...
If one wants to be "realistic," there are plenty of actual problems in the world that require solutions. Sports are the toy department of life. Toys exist to bring joy. If being a wet blanket brings you joy, well, you might want to consider re-examining your idea of fun.
Go Bills!
Exactly. Let's not go all crazy about this but defnitely hope for the best.

I dont discredit any of that. I look at it simply like this. What's the worst that can happen? We don't make the postseason again? We have to get a new coach/system/players again? Honestly if all that can happen is we have to blow it up and start from scratch there's no harm done. Like I said if 1 WR can alienate 52 other people, that's not a team that was ever going to win anything anyway.
I somewhat feel the same way. I'm moreso in the middle, excited but also weary. But one interesting point Chuck made to me was how this will effect Lee Evans. He's stuck it out to remain a Bill and the Bills go and do this. Not saying it's a bad move or the Bills, but the risk greatly outweighs the reward as for now, the risk being a confrontation between the 2 receivers. I'm all for optimism though, and I hope since we don't have really any big personalities the environment would be perfect for TO to co-exist in.
And I don't think Chuck wrote the article because he had said on the radio that it would never happen. If you had told me Friday that it was going to happen I would have told you you're insane. The Bills have NEVER made a move like this so Chuck was validated in writing what he did.
Who cares? Who the hell is Chuck Pollack beside some small town writer in the middle of nowhere? If you don't like his article, why even make it a thread??He's covered the Bills for over 35 years. So I think he deserves a little credibility.

I don't know, in the past they've done the 2 part season finale but the last episode being 2 hours, or 1 hour 20 minutes on DVD. Also, they're airing a rerun this week and another week, I think April 22nd? The reason they're doing this is because they jumped the gun with the 2 episode premiere. COME ON LINDELHOF!

"hit people" 4 games a year?!

I don't think anyone is saying TO is NOT productive. Even Chuck Pollock said on Bills Fan Radio last night that TO is one of the standout receivers in the league. But if you have any common sense at all, you have to air some caution and be weary that even though he can make some astounding plays, he also has a history of publicly calling Jeff Garcia gay, publicly saying Brett Favre could do better than McNabb, and publicly saying that Romo was going behind his back and drawing up plays with his Tight End. Which is essentially throwing 3 quarterbacks under the bus. He also demanded out of San Francisco and demanded out of Philly. This guy also stirred a media circus trying to get out of Philly and did situps while fielding questions without a shirt at his house?!
No one's questioning his work ethic or play-making ability, that'd be foolish, but you have to be cautious because certain things always seem to happen eventually anywhere he has played.
Hope this helps!

he also called Lynch "Misdemeanor Magnet"...

I had Chuck Pollock and Qadry Ismail of ESPN on Bills Fan Radio tonight, Chuck wrote a very anti-T.O. article today and I figured he'd be good to have on and vent. And he did.

Rumored there is going to be a 4 part Season 5 Finale!!!!
-
Why do I roll my eyes, yet read with such enthusiasm??
-
No Mike and Mike, on ESPN TV today.
There was Mike and Mike this morning on ESPN2. They discussed Owens and our beloved Chris Mortensen was coming on later on the show to discuss more. I skipped his segment though...
-
I'd be pissed. But ESPN hosts are already talking about the fact that they may pick up a few B-Lo Monday Night games because T.O. is on. That's good right?

Donte called out some blogger last week.
Real kewl!

Is anyone forgetting that Kate gave up Aaron?

It has a dance floor?!

I guess they are off next week due to Spring Break...
