Looking ahead to Dareus and Gilmore, etc, yes, it's not irrelevant as some make it seem.

We've just given up on you people. Go cry yourselves to sleep every night worrying about the cap if you want. I shed no tears Mr. Overstatement. All I have said from the get go is that the cap is not irrelevant to how we build this team this year and what's coming next year. Why is that so offensive to you?

Hate to see it end like this. NE will snatch him up dammit. I get it, I do. But, damn.

Or because the cap is an issue.

Don't kill the messenger. This is how Belicheat operates to good effect. It's a bastard of a business. Leroi may make some sense here as this latest FO is all about winning and sticking to a plan for once. It's what we all have been asking for....but just like sausage, it's tough to watch being made. Fred is one of my top ten favorite Bills and I've been a fan since 1963.

The "salary cap is not an issue" crowd is quieter now.

This. Still early on.

Feared for Fred at his cap hit and short future doesn't add up. Powell will be a cheaper younger alternative. Makes sense but I just hate losing Fred on the cusp of the playoffs. He deserves to see it.

There's a little black spot on the sun today.....

Well, there's that.

I agree. I think it's MC's job to lose and EJ will need to do a total turnaround to beat him. Let's see.

Already being discussed. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/176657-anyone-else-worried-about-the-defense/page-2?do=findComment&comment=3481963

Just win and the media gaggle will follow and cheer. Until then, it is what it is.

NFL QB's are not average Joes.

You know how this board gets, we are going to lose Searcy and Hughes, so let's dismiss them as not big loses or diminish their talent. They are both excellent players and all things considered, I would love to have them back. That said, we can't afford the $15+ million it would take. Rex will figure it out as he is a great defensive coach. But I find it amusing when posts dismiss their loss with a wave. The Hughes is a coverage sack guy comment particularly, that's just stupid.

Hate to see him go. He's a playmaker. But we have enough cap gymnastics in our future and can't have it all. Duke has to step up.

Belicheat will draft a NT and also take a shot at Kenrick Ellis.

Why is Bryce Brown a fail? They kept him out of games as we didn't need him and it kept his compensation pick lower. We'll see what he's got this year.

Didn't we just trade for McCoy? And now the Skin's are trading his cousin? Where's Leroi when you need him?

My dad always said that if you have nothing good to start a thread with it's better to not start a thread at all...or something to that effect.

It's been damn exciting around here of late! Leroi, still a bit unclear on that EJ getting cut prediction credited to you. Are we standing on that?

Jesus Beevis, calm down! You're living on adrenaline! Without cuts and restructuring contracts we can't get all that done but it's fun to imagine. I'd love to have McCourty, a TE and a new OG myself.

In the NFL, what's old is new and what's new is old and the pendulum swing is getting faster. In the land of the bald the one haired man is king. In a league designed for the pass and defending the pass, a sophisticated power running game will be the new innovation. Rex & Roman may just be the guys to pull it off.

Nice work by the OP. The teams we play of course are making changes and may be better or worse than their previous ranking but we get the point. We're about to see what a sophisticated power run offense looks like and the AFCE better review their defensive plans.

Hear, hear. It's exciting to have something to debate on this board. It's clear the new owner and his FO/coach have a plan along with the resources & will to make it happen. Bitching aside, this is fun.
