Unless he shows up in the next preseason game I honestly don't see him making it on the final roster. The dude has shown nothing that makes me think he can contribute at an NFL level or stay healthy. Jones, Haggan, Roosevelt, Stevie, TJ, and Nelson as the WR's

No way they make this deal this year. If they really like Cousins they will offer a pick in next years draft (Which at that point wouldn't you just draft a QB you like in next years draft?). Right now we need all the help we can get at WR and TJ is showing up this pre-season so its a greater sense of urgency to keep TJ as we don't have much at WR outside of Stevie and Nelson.

Mario Williams Dareus K.Williams M.Anderson Kelsay Merriman S.Johnson D.Edwards K.Heard Troup to IR Moore to PS Carrington and the rest cut

Glad we got Anderson instead of him, but still upset that the Bills didn't bring in another vet WR even just a mid level type guy.

I still think that Troup will just get IR'd this season and they will bring him into camp come next season. Too much invested in the guy from a front office stand point to let him go. But there is no way you can have the guy on the roster either. Let him sit out the season and hopefully his back heals up and we can bring him into camp next year and give him one more look.

Glenn looks competent at LT which for a rookie is really good. I think that he stands to improve a lot with gaining more experience. Even if he washes out at LT I think he can easily be plugged in at RG or RT and be pro bowl caliber at either position. I loved the Glenn pick I think he was guy that will be looked at as the absolute steal of the draft. There were two offensive linemen drafted before Glenn in the second round (Amini Silatolu, from Carolina 1 pick earlier, and Mitchell Schwartz by Cleveland 37th overall) and I think that a few years from now those teams are going to wounder why he slid that far into the second round.

I hope they do turn it up just a little for the third pre-season game. I think at some point during the pre-season you have to rev up the engines and get into regular season mode. The 4th preseason game is a joke as far as starters are concerned so that really only leaves this up coming preseason game which is when the starters play the most to at least get the team into gear. Not saying it excuses the poor tackling of the D and the poor execution of the offense but if the team is mailing in the preseason its a very weird thing to do.

I think what he is saying is that while the Bills didn't look great on D (In particular the LB's and DB's tackling) there was more to meets the eye in that the Vikings were using a gameplan and the Bills weren't. But what's not encouraging is the Bills lack of tackling by Wilson, Barnett, and Shep all three allowed big gains due to lack of execution that's not a good thing.

Going to include QB as part of the flex position. Also the league is at 11 with 1 more invite sent. For now I can't accept anymore requests. If by Sunday night those who were invited but didn't register, I will give an update on Sunday night about what exactly is the status of the league. Thanks so much everyone, interest in the league has been very good only one more spot to be filled. And if there are more people who want to play, there could be another league set up (By someone else, I can't comish two leagues), I did mine on Yahoo and it was very easy.

My pop warner league (7th and 8th grade) had weight limits, 135 for running backs, and 145 for linemen, I was always above the backs weight but under the linemen weight but I played line anyway so it didn't matter to me. I don't see what the big deal is, its a kids league they shouldn't have to go up against men that could seriously hurt them, that's what high school football is for.

6 players are in 6 more spots open (more than 12 would be too watered down) but there will be a 10$ per person pool with a 80-120$ prize distributed to the top three. If you want in just PM me and I will give you the league ID# and Password. League is also on Yahoo. Positional breakdown 1- QB 2- RB's 3- WR's 1- TE 1- Flex (RB, WR, TE) 1- Kicker 1- Defense/Special Teams Still thinking about changing the Flex position.

Plus if the case is high profile it could be a prosecutor trying to make a name for himself. IF the students were all 18 and it was consensual I would have to think that any jail time is just outlandish. House arrest for a short period of time, probation, community service, and removing of her license to teach and banning her from teaching again all seem like a fit punishment. What she did was wrong, but was it criminal enough to do hard time? Not really.

If it could be a conditional 4th that could bump up to a 3rd if Harvin plays all 16 and makes the probowl I am fine with it. If its going to be a 2nd pass. The Jets will likely overpay and give up a 2nd and a big contract for the guy. Its sad how desperate the Jets are for WR help. But if the price is right Harvin could be worth a gamble, he is exactly what we need.

There seems to be a demand for a cash prize in order to keep the league competitive. I am thinking about having a 10$ pool. Minimum 8 players (10$ each) and of course if we get more players the prizes go up. 1st place 45$ 2nd place 25$ 3rd place 10$ If you are interested be prepared for that possibility.

Maybe sucked was a little harsh but his stats last year were 3091 yards 14 TD's 13 INT's 60% completion percentage, I would have to qualify that as painfully mediocre. Compare that to Fitz the last two seasons I have to say Fitz is better, not dramatically better but clearly better. Fitz has also not had the best supporting staff in particular the 2010 season.

If I get enough serious interest in the league I would consider having some sort of finical incentive and if the price is reasonable a trophy to be mailed to the winner with their name engraved (If it gets to be serious and lots of fun). In addition the league is set up and there are still spots remaining (Using Yahoo). The scoring system is as follows Passing Passing TD's 4 points INT's -2 points Passing Yards 30 yards 1 point 40+ yard completions 1 point Rushing Rushing TD 6 points Rushing yards 10 yards 1 point 40+ yard rushes 1 point per Receiving Receiving TD 6 points Receiving yards 10 yards 1 point 40+ yard receptions 1 point per MISC 2 pt conversions 2 points fumbles lost -2 points Offensive fumble return TD 6 points

I have seen Travaris Jackson bounce a pass off the ground to a wide open receiver with zero and I do mean zero pressure on him. The Vikings won with him because they had a stacked D, stacked O-line, and AP. He has sucked with Seattle. Not saying he wouldn't make a bad backup (Guy can run and make a few plays once in a while, and has played in a system where they asked him not to lose games) somewhere but he isn't an upgrade from Thigpen or Vince Young. In fact T.Jackson and V.Young are pretty much the same player. No use giving up a late round pick for something we already have on the roster.

Its possible to simply like Lucks talent that much as opposed to hating the Bills talent. Giving up Dareus and two other talented young players for a rookie QB is a lot (Plus you would also have to give back Fitz in addition to the three players). And it would certainly be close to equal value for the Colts. They would be getting a lot back in return. But that's how good I think Luck will be that giving up a lot for him results in getting a lot back. Now if you told me we have to give up Fitz, plus let them select any 3 players off our roster plus our 1st rounder next season I would have serious reservations.

Yes its not even close, Dareus (From a trade perspective the most valuable player on the team) and any other two players (Plus Fitz) for Luck and I wouldn't even bat an eye. If they wanted to take Dareus, Byrd, and Mario/Gilmore/Stevie/Levitre/Whoever to swap QB's I say hell yes. And that's not to say losing those defensive players wouldn't hurt but come on Fitz is at best a lower top 10 QB. Luck could be the QB that dominates the league 3-5 years form now. Its a risk for sure as you would be giving up the farm for a guy who is still an unknown. But the reward is far greater than the risk.

Hoping to do a standard fantasy league, Live draft, not a keeper league, and free to play. Scoring will likely be decided in detail later but standard fantasy scoring. 8-12 teams. 4 team playoff or 6 teams if we get to 12.

I have only one fantasy football league this year and I am looking for a second league to get into. Looking for 8-12 people, also looking for people who will pay attention to the league and not lose interest. If you are serious about joining the league just PM me. Any questions just respond to the thread.

How anyone could get upset about picks made in round 4 or lower is beyond me. I liked the Searcy pick, later rounds are always about getting good players regardless of position or need.

It just adds an extra look to the offense. Seems like the Bills like to use it in short yardage type situations. I have no problem with it.

The guy looked good in one pre-season game, calm down lets see him do it when it counts.
