I bet he lands somewhere, quite a few teams are looking for WR's. I think the Jets might take a flyer.

Its easy to say who we should have drafted three seasons after. Ugh I was on record during the 2010 draft saying we should have drafted Terrance Cody but who knows how he would have done here.

No but Davis is a good young talent to get for a 2nd round pick. In 2-3 years when the Colts are likely going to have rebuilt the roster around Luck Davis is still going to be on the team and in his prime. Good move for the Fins to get a good asset to help rebuild the team.

I agree its make or break or Fitz this season, if he can't get it done this season (Winning record at the very least).I do think that what we have seen from this offense in the pre-season isn't exactly what we will be getting from them in the regular season.

If this is for anything more than a 7th rounder I will be disgusted (Its rumored to be a 5th or 6th). T.Jackson is a pretty decent backup but marginally better than what V.Young is. I would have preferred to have kept Young. But if T.Jackson starts more than a game or two this team is screwed. T.Jackson can win you a game or two but over the stretch of a full season the guy's limitations are just blatant. I would just keep VY and put the kibosh on this deal to get Jackson, no need to give up a pick for a marginal upgrade at backup QB.

Honestly I put it on the secondary that Big Ben was allowed to pick us apart on that one drive. They were keeping 7 in protection against 4 guys. That's not really the D-lines problem to get to the QB 4 vs 7 is unfair. But its up to the secondary to be able to cover 3 receivers with 7 players.

On ESPN they said it was only a torn MCL, and that DeCastro could come back half way through the season. It usually takes 3+ months to come back from one of those so it would be late November before he could come back. I think that they likely IR him.

QB- Fitz V.Young B.Smith RB- F.Jackson CJ Spiller J.White McIntyre WR- S.Johnson D.Nelson D.Jones R.Martin TJ.Graham D.Hagan TE- S.Chandler M.Caussin F.Onobun (Admittedly I don't know too much about the TE situation) OL- G.Glen A. Levitre E.Wood Urbik E.Pears C.Hairston C.Reinhart C.Brown DL- M.Dareus M.Williams K.Williams M.Anderson C.Kelsay D.Edwards S.Johnson K.Moore K.Heard LB- N.Barnett K.Sheppard K.Morrison A.Moats N.Bradham B.Scott DB Gilmore A.Williams McKelvin McGee Brooks J.Rodgers J.Byrd G.Wilson D.Searcy Waiver Wire S Special teams B.Mooreman R.Lindel Sanbourn Potter Z.Sanders, M.Asper T.Carter, notable practice squad members

I live in NJ and I can honestly assure you if the Bills thrash the Jets it will be awesome listening to NY sports radio the next week.

Agreed I also think McGee is going to benefit from playing more inside

The team is built up to make a run at the playoffs but is it ready to make a superbowl? No there are holes on the roster. But there are a lot fewer holes then three years ago.

Rebuilding would be over if the Bills were a contender to win a Super Bowl. Right now they are a legit playoff contender but they aren't a top tier AFC team yet. The Bills need two things to happen for the rebuilding process to be "over". 1- The current talent on the team has to develop the talent that's already on it. Fitz has to be a legit QB, the D has to step up, ect. 10-6 plus a playoff birth. 2- The next off-season has to fill the remaining holes on the team plus resign Levitre, Byrd, Urbik and whoever develops on the team. The rebuilding is progressing but its far from done. Keep next years picks unless something really good at a low cost pops up.

Likely if Shep gets hurt they would want to slide Morrison to MLB and get Moats off the bench

Only way Jacksonville would do it is if they are insane. No one trades themselves into a QB controversy (Except the Jets) this late into camp. And lets say they are desperate for Tebow you think that a mid level RB plus Tebow are enough? They would have to throw in a second rounder at least for that trade to make any sense. If Jacksonville is trading away MJD they are getting a 2nd rounder plus other considerations at the very least.

Agreed even if CJ pans out to be an elite RB, and Moats comes in and contributes as a quality depth player, its still a huge blemish on the record of Nix. Also A.Williams and Sheppard have to pan out too (Although its looking much better for those guys) for that 2011 draft to be a success. But unless Troup comes back from IR and is a good third DT its looking like that draft is a D+ at best a C- (IF Spiller is elite and Moats is a solid starter).

Madden's rankings are always !@#$ed up high in general. Only year they got the ranking system right was Madden 10 when they went with a system of 90-100- Elite at your position 84-89- Pro Bowler 80-83- Good Borderline Probowler 75-79- Solid Starter but far from elite 70-74- Average mediocre player but starting caliber 60's- Good Backup 50's- Third Stringer Now if you aren't ranked in the 80's you suck. Its sad just how much Madden caved to people not understanding that rating system If I had to give my rankings of some key Bills players M.Williams- 92 K.Williams- 88 M.Dareus- 87 M.Anderson-79 Kelsay- 76 Barnett- 82 Sheppard-73 Byrd-85 Wilson-83 McGee- 77 Fitz- 79 F.Jackson- 85 CJ.- 79 Stevie- 85 D.Nelson- 77 E.Wood- 83 A.Levitre-85 Chandler-76

Rodgers plus a pick for Wayne hell yes. A.Williams for Fleener pass? We need another target Wayne is a stud with a few years left. Rodgers has potential but WR is a much bigger need. Either way I don't see either trade happening.

The way I see the starting lineup at CB going is Gilmore A.Williams McGee McKelvin (Who will play significant time) Brooks J.Rodgers I could easily see McGee getting hurt and McKelvin seeing less or a role in favor of J.Rodgers and Brooks. But for now I don't think that the team wants to throw too many unproven players into the fire just yet.

Skip Bayless is the Glen Beck of sports media and no one should pay attention to him he is an ass. However his accusations against Jeter are valid in my opinion. No one in baseball is beyond those accusations even if it is duh Jeter. The guy is 38 at a position where people don't play at that age or suffer a sever decline in play if they do. Why is out of the question that he might be on PED's?

Two Bills Drive has a fantasy football league, 11 members are in and have paid dues. But due to one person falling out we are short 1 person to make it an even 12 team league. I know its short notice as our fantasy draft is tonight at 8pm but if anyone wants to get in on fantasy football (20$ buy in prize is 150$ for 1st, 60$ for second, 30$ for third) please PM me. We did payment over Paypal. Please PM me if you are interested we only need one more player. Rules and details are on this thread http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/148820-two-bills-drive-fantasy-football/

Fergueson is Joe Jacoby compared to Wayne Hunter. Also as good as Mangold is he hasn't been a rock this pre-season. Their guard situation isn't exactly settled. Their whole line has been weak this pre-season and they are coming off of a weak season from the season before. Since Alan Faneca left the Jets Line has just been bad.

Its too late for them to get a quality RT. Even if they wait for cuts they are going to have to wait for final cuts just to get a quality backup to fall into their laps. Hunter is their starting RT week 1, I doubt they could bring in a guy that can get a grasp on their playbook for week one once the final cuts come.

Glenn has looked decent in two pre-season games. Which for a rookie going against two pretty dam good pash rushers proves to me that he can handle the position and that he only stands to improve. Great pick by the Bills. Glen and Gilmore seem to be having a nice impact early on always what you want from your first two picks.

No I would still watch but it would make my enjoyment of the product less and I might watch less games if it got really bad. I will watch the Bills games and maybe the game of the week but I might skip Monday Night Football if they call touchbacks on balls downed at the 4 clearly.

Seems like the Bills just didn't think he was a fit for the 4-3. Also seems like he wasn't physically where the Bills wanted him to be at. Interesting I thought he would make a good 4-3 situational pass rusher. Seems like outside of Kelsay/Anderson they didn't have much depth at DE. Wounder who makes the roster in Merriman's place. Also it does free up 4.5 million of cap room, good move to get Byrd and Levitre deals done.
