What? Who's asinine opinion is that? Yours? Buffalo's LBers are smaller and quick...perfect for the cover 2. They're not slow by NFL standards.

This is a no brainer...look at the age of the 2005 starters. Built for the future and more young talent in 2009. FS - Troy Vincent 35 SS - Lawyer Milloy 32 DT - Sam Adams 32 OLB - Jeff Posey 30 MLB - London Fletcher 30 FB - Daimon Shelton 33 WR - Eric Moulds 32 TE - Mark Campbell 30 C - Trey Teague 31 RG - Chris Villarrial 32 LG - Bennie Anderson 28 http://www.pro-football-reference.com/team...2005_roster.htm

If the Bills start 6-3 and look like an improving team are you still going to post this negative, biased garbage? If they start 0-3, feel free to "sink a ship". Until then, this is fire starting junk.

It's never going to happen. 1. Jim is 100% committed to fighting Crabbe's disease. It is his life ambition for an obvious reason. 2. He's been out of football 13 years. NFL strategy and style of play has continued to evolve. A decade out of the coaching circle in the NFL is an eternity.

???? Ofcourse Alex is the one being held accountable...he's calling the plays. He has more priority because he's sending the play in. Nobody will blame Studesville if the 3rd and 3 play action bomb falls incomplete. It doesn't matter if his title is offensive custodial assistant or O.C.

Martz would change the entire offense immediately. Why would you want to bring someone in to teach an entirely new scheme in 9 days? Stick it out with AVP and he might actually surprise some folks. The worst misconception in sports is the new guy can't coach at the same level as a guy who's done it before. Youth and new ideas are the lifeblood of the NFL.

Is this legit? If so, good for AVP!

Starting 5-1 and finishing 7-9 was awful. I'd rather suck all year and dream of a franchise QB than have my heart ripped out by week 10 again by mediocrity. Back to back 2-14 brought a hall of fame cast as a reward.

This is the exact scenario I want as well. Shanahan would be my first choice as head coach. I'll settle for 4 - 12 and a high enough pick to draft Bradford or McCoy.

Marty's biggest nemesis was expectations. He can turn awful into awfully good, but it stops there. If Marty's team is the front runner, an epic collapse is coming.

Ah yes, ESPN. Do they still cover the NFL? I thought it was all NBA, all the time. Does anyone notice the similarities between the change in MTV from the 80's to the present and the hip hop saturated decline of ESPN? I'm sure ESPN will have it's share of trashy reality shows soon. NFL network's football coverage is miles ahead in terms of quality and actual NFL coverage. I made the switch 2 years ago after ESPN stopped announcing the current pick in the draft because Berman kept rambling nicknames & cracking Eagles jokes. The band, not the team.

Hill (starter) Smith - (1st round bust & huge cap hit) Davis - (athletic rookie with high upside) There's no riddle involved.

Byron "immobile" Leftwich benefits the Bills in week 2. The guy is a statue with the slowest wind-up release in history. He's the black Bledsoe....

Damon Huard was released by the 49ers yersterday. I'm not saying the Bills "need this guy" or c'mon Russ bring him in, but he does have a ton of NFL experience and will not effect the locker room in a negative way. Maybe I remember his Dolphins days too well and that 2006 season with the Chiefs. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/foot...d.ap/index.html

That is a chunk....it sucks. Versus announcers generally talk about anything under the sun outside of hockey, but the HD picture is all I care about. I am a cycling fan as well and lose some major coverage, including the Tour de France. I've signed petitions for DirecTV, Versus and anything else I can sign to show my distaste for their greed. http://www.versus.com/nw/article/view/1367...nhl_article.tpl

He's a cancer. For everyone saying "yes". Would you invite cancer into your locker room? Have some of you actually played organized sports past the age of 10? The guy is an immature, ticking time bomb. I'm not saying he's going to make it rain ala Pacman Jones, but he's a chic beating WR diva.....no thanks.

He is currently suspended by the Broncos until opening day for conduct detrimental to the team.

I want it to happen. I have zero faith in Marshall. He will implode at some point in NYC. Drunk driving, beat his girlfriend, not show up to work, demand a bigger contract... take your pick of any or all of the above. Having the J-E-T-S lose a future 1st and 3rd for this clown would be a blessing to the Bills down the line. Broncos monitoring for tampering as well. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4439877

That's a great point. Now here's the reality - 9 seasons. Since 1999, the Bills have found a way to NOT be the team that follows the trend of the 6 new teams. How is that possible? I love the Bills....have since 1980 when I actually was old enough to know what NFL football was. I'll never jump off the bandwagon...season tickets, Sunday afternoons, Monday evening ass whoopin's and I even have the charging Buffalo tattooed on my shoulder. That being said, until the Bills break this 9 year drought, I have every freaking reason under the sun to be skeptical. I enjoy the highs, but I know the yearly letdown is coming ;-)

Put Lee Evans on Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Diego, NY Giants or the Bears with Cutler and you'll see what a number one WR looks like. 85-100 catches and 1200 yards easily. The Bills offense has been a joke since 2002. Poor O-line play, musical chair QB's and zero consistancy running the football. Lee Evans doesn't even get the chance to shine here.

Anal Penetrators 4 - Bend, but Don't Break

If Bell didn't get dinged up this may have happened already. You need to read more postings before throwing "developmental project" out there. I'd rather have an up & coming athletic LT and a very solid RT than a slow, limited, out of place LT and this kid riding the bench. http://blogs.buffalobills.com/tag/demetrius-bell/

I've thought about the switch or the idea of alternating 4-3 and 3-4. I think the 3-4 look would set up a little more like this. DE - Chris Kelsay/Ryan Denney DE - Spencer Johnson NT - Marcus Stroud OLB - Aaron Schobel (see Kampman in GB - 6'4" 265) OLB - Aaron Maybin ILB - Paul Posluszny ILB - Kawika Mitchell CB - Terrence McGee CB - Leodis McKelvin FS - Donte Whitner SS - Bryan Scott The D-line would need to be tweaked going forward, but the LBers and DB's are very solid. Maybin and Schobel would wreak havoc from the rush linebacker position. Buffalo would need to pick up a space eating NT for this to really work and move Stroud to DE to be stout against the run.

KARMA.... The Bills are a living, breathing offensive disaster. There's been one good offensive season since 2000....Bledsoe's '02 campaign with T Henry going for 1,000 yards rushing and Moulds & Price gaining 1,000 apiece receiving.

If the Bills switch to the garbage spread or wildcat I agree. Gimmick... Now, in the real NFL Sam Bradford or Colt McCoy are the way to go.
