  1. The Super Bowl should be on a Saturday in any weather conditions, its stupid for it to be on a Sunday. And anyone that thinks playing the Super Bowl in cold weather is a bad idea is kind of beyond my logic as I think the best case scenario is if it snows.
  2. I think Fitz will restructure, its pretty clear he knows that this would be his best chance to play in the NFL as a starter. Knowing the roster getting a chance to compete for the starting job, that's more then he would have going into a different situation.
  3. 2, 4, and 5 all sound possible. Landry seems to like the Jets D and if we throw decent money at him I am sure he would consider coming here, possible that we resign both Levitre and Byrd if we get one done early in the off-season the other could see the tag, and its a defense heavy draft so stocking up on that end seems likely. Only issues I see are QB and WR. and 1 and 3 are fantasy scenarios. The way I see it is the best case is 2,4, and 5 happen and we make a move to trade for a QB while we maybe make a move for a mid level WR. But I know we are going to leave a couple of holes on the roster.
  4. I think they might want Landry and a front 7 player like Calvin Pace to bring in some players that know the system and can contribute to it. I wouldn't be opposed to bringing in Landry but I don't see safety as a pressing need.
  5. I don't think both guys were bad players but they were far from good. I was surprised at G.Wilson but he did regress last season. I would have kept Wilson. But releasing Barnett makes sense, guy was decent but replaceable and with a new coach you need to shake up the roster a bit. McGee and Kelsay should be next both big cap numbers that are under preforming.
  6. I like the idea of Williams, Lloyd on the other hand if he was brought in on the cheap I guess wouldn't be a bad thing but I wouldn't bring in either guys as the answer for the teams needs at either position. DJ Williams would be a really good uber back up and Lloyd would be a plan C for WR.
  7. Its such a mystery, Kelsay is overpaid based off of his performance yet he sticks around through multiple regimes. If the Bills are up against the cap and they don't cut Kelsay they are morons.
  8. No way Harvin is looking for a huge deal and I don't think the Vikings want any thing less than a second rounder.
  9. Bring him in for camp not a bad guy to take a chance on.
  10. Harvin was a MVP candidate till he got hurt, Would be a very interesting deal come the off-season.
  11. Could be a flex DT/DE. Can play DT in 4-3 and be flanked out at DE in heavier 3-4 formations. I don't think he will make the team but its at least possible, good move for the Bills to IR him, give him proper recovery time and a chance at least.
  12. Why did we let this guy go again? Bills really do need to overhaul their strength and conditioning or at least do something to find a way to turn around the injury bug that has plagued this team for years. The NFL is such a battle of attrition and its hard to win when you aren't healthy. Its been a big reason why the Bills haven't had success in recent years.
  13. Still not a bad position to be in, you got to figure if Fitz restructures that frees up anywhere from 5-10 million if they cut him that still has to free some space. I also think they could have some cuts on the roster that could free up more space like Kelsay or B.Smith. Overall I don't think the Bills are going to be big spenders but resigning Levitre and Byrd would help a lot.
  14. David Nelson is a great security blanket kind of like a great tightend in the slot. Was a big loss last year, he bails Fitz out a lot.
  15. Smart move, I think they are going to get some cap room (5-7 million) and have some competition at QB either a draft choice or vet. I like Fitz I think that he was hung out to dry by Chan's schemes and a horrendous defense. Blame Fitz for some of the loses but we lost multiple close games (Titans and 2nd Pats* game come to mind) when the offense put up over 30 points. Had the defense taken the step up we thought it would I think we would have seen a much better record. Yeah Fitz stunk at times and we need another QB for the future but I think Fitz could be a good mentor to a young guy or be better than a trade or free agent type (Or at least provide competition)
  16. My point is its a 10 minute drive from Hoboken to Metlife. Hoboken is right across the river from NYC with path access 24/7 and there is public transportation all over the area. Northern NJ is basically built around getting people in and out of NYC. There are plenty of options near by the arena. I am sorry but if you are rich enough to afford a hotel and tickets to the Super Bowl I am pretty sure you could afford a car to travel through Northern NJ or navigate the vast public transportation options. In Detroit a few years ago people had to transport themselves to the city's central area with the stadium and it wasn't a big deal.
  17. I live in NJ about 5 minutes outside of Giants/Meadowlands Stadium and while I wasn't obviously outside the whole time I was watching the game but what little snow fell was barely flurries, it wouldn't have effected the game. As for the weather it was cold but not unbearable just a very crisp cold. But it was also 50+ degrees and very nice earlier in that week. But it could also snow a foot, its going to be interesting but if the weather is the same as it was yesterday I would say that the game would be just fine. Without traffic its 10 minutes from the Stadium to downtown Manhattan and with traffic its like 40 minutes going from Jersey to Manhattan or 30 minutes from NY to NJ. I make that drive all the dam time. I don't know how much closer you want to get NYC. Its actually a good place being that you have two teams practice facilities so each team has their own place to go to. Also if you count the county the Stadium is located in you would have a city bigger than New Orleans. Its not going to be a disaster at all. The Meadowlands has held two games in one week without a hitch. NYC can handle the corporate events while NJ takes the football related stuff. NJ handles two teams a year every year, I really don't see why the Super Bowl over the course of two weeks split between NJ and NY would be so hard.
  18. Next years Super Bowl will be in New Jersey in the beginning of February, and its possible we could see freezing temps, snow, and all sorts of elements that could impact the game. What is everyone's thoughts on next years game being in cold weather and the possibility of playing the game in cold weather cities out doors? Could/should Chicago, Philly, and other places be in the running for the Super Bowl? I am sure at least Chicago would have the city that could handle all sorts of extra events that could go with the Super Bowl. So should Super Bowls be played in outdoor cold weather cities? I for one am for it being in a cold weather city every 5 years or so. I think that if its OK for playoff games to be played in the snow and cold then its OK for the Super Bowl too. I also think that playoff football and December football is usually in cold weather so its something that has a big game feel.
  19. Williams showed flashes in his rookie year. Then Wanny installed a defense that was just so vanilla and based off the idea that our D-line would produce pressure, it didn't and it hung out DB's all out to dry pretty much none of them really looked good last year. I think you have to give him at least one more year to show some progress before you dump him. I don't get the massive hate on this guy for both what he has produced on the field (I understand why you are disappointed with the guy so far but to the point of cutting him is just silly) and from a personal level.
  20. The Superbowl hasn't been played yet so I am not worried, you know they are going to tag one of those guys but I hope they can lock up both, you have to try and keep what talent you have.
  21. I would take a chance on this guy in the 4th or later. Lots of talent and pot isn't a drug worth black balling someone nor should it be illegal.
  22. Do you honestly think the Redskins weren't amped to play that game, that they needed more motivation? That winning the Super Bowl wasn't enough? I never buy that, if its some random non-conference game that stuff might help but the playoffs and big games players are already pretty motivated.
  23. Pour out some money to Fred Davis and a top tier WR. I know its wishful thinking but I think we can go defense in this draft and then trade for a QB and sign some targets. David Nelson will come back and be solid in the slot, Stevie is a stud, but we need someone else. Also I like Chandler at TE but I think we could use some depth there and a receiving threat. Davis coming off an injury should be relatively cheap.
  24. Moss is a serviceable player but I don't see him wanting to come here nor do I think he would have been the right guy. Moss is not the Randy Moss of old. He is decent down field but he is far from what he use to be at age 35-36
  25. The outrage is laughable, people are mad Lewis isn't going to get punished for it. But how can you punish a guy who is retiring and using the appeals process to keep it from keeping him out of the super bowl? Its his last game you can't keep him out of it unless you have full proof evidence and it complies with the appeals process.
