Hey Bandit: I would definitely target Saffold. He's young and strong. He played RT on Rams before Long got injured and then played LT a couple of games. Has also played guard. Pay the man to play RT for us. Saffold has gotten good ratings. Glenn, Yankey, Wood, Urbik, Saffold would be a huge upgrade and my dream for the OL. I also hope Hairston can come back and contribute. He would be perfect for depth on the OL.

thebandit: Urbik is actually solid. Pears would not start on any playoff team, I believe. Our problem on OL is RT and LG; Urbik is OK.

I dunno JBoy - nobody appeared to quit the week before when we shutout the Dolphins. This team is just too inconsistent is all. Playing the patsies will also make many teams look like they quit.

I would take him. There is no rule/guide that says it's a bad idea. Question: If EJ was coming out this year, would you prefer Manziel or EJ at 9? Manziel, hands down. Go to training camp with an open QB competition and best QB wins. Worst case scenario, you trade one of them 1-2 years from now.

Wow man, looks like you out a lot of work into this. I enjoyed it. I wonder how much of this can be attributed to a QB feeling they need to give someone the ball as opposed to playing free and passing where theyre comfortable. Maybe Ej and stevie just lack chemistry as well. Fitz and SJ were clearly on same page. Thats another factor w young QB's and veteran WR

Preach on. No such thing as small beans in the NFL

Ditto. And Legursky

Ya philisophical difference was hilliard probably telling marrone: "hey dumbass, why you have TJ starting 90% of the snaps, he sucks" Marrone couldnt bench Hilliard for a half like Dareus so he's just let go.

Its almost January. Any position is thin now. John Kitna just suited up for the cowgirls yesterday. Come May next year there will be countless Punters better than Moorman. Great guy. But hes done. I dont need to hear about possibly re-signing him. Dont amuse me, Whaley.

Chris Berman.

Lmao. I dont know why but i just laughed hysterically at the sequence of those 5 words. Im losing my mind with this franchise.

Exactly. Maybe Crossman gets to meetings really early and tries real hard though. You know, like Hogan does. We need a bunch of hogans and crossmans on this team - no talent hacks, but man are they punctual.

Trading down twice would be fine by me. Though if we trade down the first time to around 15, i would probably just not chance it and take Yankey there. Hes that good if he declares, which he probably will. I know taking a Guard in the teens is kinda nuts. Last time we did i think was Ruben Brown at 13 or 14 ? Yankey is the total package and the left side of our line would be set for years.

Id be very happy w your team. I would like: QB - EJ RB - CJ n FRED LT - GLENN LG - DAVID YANKEY - 1st pick after trading down to teens C - WOOD RG- URBIK RT - RODGER SAFFOLD - FA from rams TE - JACE AMARO - 2nd round pick WR - WOODS WR - STEVIE WR - JORDAN MATTHEWS - 2rd pick from trade down DL - MARIO DL - KW DL - MD DL - CARRINGTON/BRANCH/HUGHES OLB - LAWSON MLB - DANSBY - id give him a 2/3yr contract worth whatever he wants OLB - KIKO CB - GILMORE CB - LEODIS SS - A. WILLIAMS FS - TAG or Re-sign Byrd

UGH

Firing the WR coach. LMAO. He definitely cost us 3-4 games this season.

If we were to tag and trade him I could see a team giving up a 2nd round pick for this guy. You think we have enough money to just give him the contract he wants. Sucks to let a guy like this go.

Possibly might have to. Going into the season with just Searcy/Duke Williams at FS might be dangerous. Not sure how much Duke has progressed during his rookie season we'll see how highly coaches think of him. Think he was a 4th round pick and could've gone higher if not for his off field issues. Antoine Bethea?

Time for A. Williams, Searcy, Meeks, and Duke Williams to step up next year.

He's gone. I don't blame him. I would want a shot at winning something before I retire.

Man this board is gonna explode at this rate. Kyle Willams bashing and Dareus bashing - two of our better players on defense. Yes, Kyle Williams has been on some miserable defenses. Kyle Williams fills one hole on a board consisting of 11 holes. There are 3 to 4 critical holes that play behind KW. Unfortunately, for the past decade, we haven't had a single quality player in any of those holes. Kiko has shown flashes of being a playmaker but he has also shown flashes of being extremely blown out of a play. Lets face it, Hughes has been explosive and great at sacking the QB - but he's a specialist/tweener and not a 3 down LB. Bradham/Moats have no business starting in this league. Can contribute on special teams and maybe serve as depth, but starters? Nope. Lawson is another tweener who played DE in college, though Lawson has shown enough in the NFL to at least be considered somewhat reliable as a 3 down back. We need LB's.

Ya i know. Makes so much sense man. Seems like it would be a great fit on this defense w pettine. But then again, we'd probably have to blow him out of the water to go from 10-6 arizona w beautiful weather to 6-10 buffalo and crap weather.

Two words: Karlos Dansby. This guy is a beast who continues to get better, like a fine wine. Hes exactly what we need on the inside. Give him a multi year deal and retire w bills.

Me too.

I'll give you that. We don't know. Neither do you. Benching a Pro Bowl DT for an entire Quarter is stiff. There better be a damned good reason. Benching a Pro Bowl DT an entire Half vs the New England Patriots is nuts. There better be a damned better reason. The key again to me is that Dareus is arguably having his best season with the Bills. He's performing on the field. There are plenty of players that are starting on this team who I suppose arrive on time to meetings but then suck on the field. (TJ Graham, Chandler, Stevie (at times), etc). Sit them a half and spare us fans the ironclad fist approach.
