Now that their is no players union or CBA, the fact the players cannot be suspended or retro suspended for any personal conduct or substance abuse activity during this time. I wonder if this would make the players more likely (who want to gain or loss weight) to attempt to use these banned subtances? From what I understand the NFL can take no action towards anything a player does during a lockout. I don't know how that would playout if a players takes something now, the lockout ends in 3 months form now and the player has a postive test in say like september, and reports they took something during the lockout, so the conduct policy wouldn'y apply.

He would be a good signing.

I think it's a little bit sh#ty how Ralph has said time and time again how we need a QB to make the playoff. I thinks that a little bit of a slap to Fitz. I know Fitz is not the second coming of Jim Kelly, but I don't unstand how that helps the team in the long run. Ralph should believe what ever he wants, but why announce it over and over. I have a lot of respect for fitz, he not Manning, Brady, or Bree, but he plays hard, has a lot of guts, and at least it's not this constant cycle of 3 and out. Other then maybe flutie, he played better then any other Qb since Jimbo retirement.

This goes back years, and years. From what I understand, Wilson and Rich don't care for each other at all. It was always rumored Rich will have liked to buy the team, but Wilson would never sell it to anyone, especially Rich while Wilson was alive. I don't know it Rich has anymore interest in WNY. As we all know being a Bills fan is something you never really choose, you kind of inhert it, and once you become it, you can never really let it go. So maybe he's still interested.

Kraft, Jones, and Synder will continue to destroy the NFL.

I remenber last year, there was alot of talk of a possible trade. I think it was Gaither for Mckelvin, but the Bills were not willing to part ways with McKelvin at that time. Now that we've had another year to think about it, should we have done that deal?

Thats a good point, but living her in NE, the pats seem different. I could be way off base here, but I think the Brady window is starting to closing. I thinks he is playing as good as ever, but you would have to think he's only got 3 to 4 years left. I think that Brady and Bill would like to win 5 superbowls. I don't think that any 1 coach or QB has ever won 5. Today on talk radio in Boston, the media felt that they were in desperate need of a big, quick, physical receiver. Not like Moss, but some one physical. So I don't know, but maybe he goes for it now, and doesn't worry about the future. I know nothing about Green, and I'm sure they can have there choice of any FA receivers, but hey you never know, if I were the Bills, I make that call, but I need #17, #28, #33 for #3.

According to the NFL trade value chart, the 3rd overall pick is worth 2200 points. The 17th, 28, and 33 picks would be worth 2190 points, so it would be a even trade. Seeing that we need players, I would do it. I also think alot depends on FA.

Pats fans are over reacting, but the truth is there just have a spoiled fan base. Their a great team, with a great coach, QB, and a young defense which will only be better, and 3 picks in the top 33, I'd say there in good shape. I'm more worried about how the Bills are ever going catch up to them.

I was at the game last night, the fans went ape sh#t. Nobody could believe, they were saying how brady has lost it, etc, etc. I thought to my self,know you what it's like to be a bills fan.

I'm a Bills fan living in New England, I was driving to work today, when I heard former Pats Qb Scott Zolak taking to Carl Banks on his radio show, Zolak was talking about how terrible the old Meadow Lands stadium was. He then went on to say that Buffalo by far the worst place to ever play. I didn't get the impression he was talking about the fans or the weather. It seems he was bashing the Ralph. Banks sort of agreed. I've been a season ticket holder for the Bills for many many year, I've traveled to Buffalo frequently for the last 10 years for games. I've been to 4-5 other nfl stadiums. Other then not having a bunch of fancy consession stands, (which I thought no really cares about after 3 hours of tail gating), I also thought the Ralph was ok. Has anyone else ever heard the anything else bad about the Ralph. The field seem well maintained, they changed the turf 2 or 3 times in the last 10 years to stay updated. I've never heard anything bad about the locker rooms or training areas. Has anyone else heard anything?

I don't doubt you, but why? I did fiqure wanny to be such a hot comodity.

I like to make my self believe

After the Fact Bull Sh#t, glazer needed a story.

Totally agreed

Just think about what the media would have said about Buffalo if the Bills had the first overall pick and Luck ended up staying in school. They would have started all that BS about, nobody wants to play in Buffalo, this, that, and the rest of it. Forget the fact that he wants to stay in school, earn a degree, and maybe win a national title. They would have gone off on how Buffalo sucks, it cold, it snows, etc, etc. From a football, point of view, I've always heard the Bills have very nice faculities, a great fan base, cost of living is low, a low pressure place to play compared to other markets. I can image how that would be so unattractive to everyone, maybe a few but not everyone. I never really cared about what the media has to say but, I always thought it hurt the team when the media goes on with this BS about how sh#ty Buffalo is. I think it makes it harder to recruit players. Most of these player hear this and dismiss us unless we over pay them or they have no where else to go. It seem like when most get here they end up really liking it. They should start to write it's to hot and theres to much crime in Miami, that why Gruden and Cowher turned the fins down.

I alway thought Greenway would be a perfect addition to our D, guy is in on every play. I would drop Poz for him in a second. Word from the Vikes website is he is there top prority this off season, so he wouldn't come cheap or easy. The Vikes DE Edwards is also a free agent, but he is expected to demand big bucks.

I'm happy the season is over

It a good signing, we shouldn't be worried about sending a message to a bunch of 4-10 type players. It maybe the wrong message today, but come opening day next September and Merriman come out of the tunnel at the Ralph doing his little dance and the 74,000 go ape sh#t it will be the right message.

Dumb.

while STOPPING his PASSING motion and/or bringing the ball back to ones body, hence tucking it, IT IS STILL CONSIDERED A FORWARD PASS If this is the case, why don't all Qb's just perform a throwing type motion once they receive the snap so they care never fumble in the pocket?

If the game is really meaningless to the Jets, I would want to lose. That would likely knock the Bills out of the top 5 in the draft, and I've heard some senerio it could even put them at like 9 or 10. For years I always wanted to them to win no matter what, but now looking back at all those meaningless wins which build team confidents, the funny thing is 60% of those players are not even here anymore, and a bunch more are not likely to return. I think we should try to position our selfs for whats best for the future. Chan and buddy can figure out what that is.

Good luck Trent.

Sorry for talking about Bills related stuff, my next post will be about health care reform, and changes to medicare.
