I'm not asking what New England would do or not do. I find most people want to dump Lynch, but not if they have to play against him. Just wondering why?

If you were Buddy Nix, and New England came calling with a second rounder for him would you trade him to the Pats? Thoughts.

In a place like Buffalo, why run the spread? With New England, New York in the division, there's the possiblty of playing in adverse weather 6 to 8 times a year. Why not build a big powerful O-line, a big powerful D-line with some pass rushing ability, and play power football all day long.

Well somebody call 1 Bills drive, and put an end to it.

I think that all NFL teams needs two backs this day and age, even more so if you play in adverse weather 5 to 6 times a year. I like fred Jackson but he's not real young. If I know the Bills they will trade him for like a 5 round pick, who will end up being a part time nickle back, or a rotational DT, or some type of player who never really contributes. I know Lynch is one and done, but I rather take the chance that he turns his young career around rather then give him away for a part role player. If you can trade and package that pick for a shot a Gaithers or someone like that I'm all for it. However if not, I would wait at least until a starting back on a contender goes down in training camp, and that teams over pays for him. I really feel the Bills never really get good value for there trades and alway over pay, except for maybe the Price deal.

I don't know, I don't mind if your right. With the Pats not being the only good team in the divison, no set Qb, likely a rookie left tackle, a question at right tackle, questionable return of Wood, lack of depth at most positions, questions with the WR expect Lee, transition from 4-3 to 3-4, no true nose tackle, no big time past rusher at DE, new coaching staff, new front office. I think 3 to 4 winners might be the best were gonna do. I hope I'm wrong, and I know we can full some holes in the draft, but really how much can you do in 1 draft. I think all the RFA really hurt a team like the bills this year. I hope i'm wrong.

Campbell has improved every year he been a starter. My only only concern is he's a guy who gives you 7-9 wins a year, prevents you from ever drafting a top tier guy. I think sometimes you gotta hit rock bottom to take that giant step forward just like the 80's bills teams did. I know with FA it different, but I don't think any teams lets a franchise QB hit the market unless he's an aging guy you really can't build on for the long run. I have no problem bring him in here, but for like a 6th or 7th. Washington needs to get to get rid of him, he needs a job. Washington needs us more then he need them. Let the raiders have him for a 4th, and for the next 6-7 years they can win 7-9 games so they can draft at 9-14 spot and never really go anywhere. Why should we always be the one's to get screwed. Let me tell you from a die hard bills and sabres fans who live in a city where they have won 3 superbowls, 2 world series, and 1 NBA title in the last 10 years, 2nd place sucks. Let be in it to win it even if we have to bomb out for a year or two.

I know but come on, what else we gonna talk about. Health Reform?

Soild idea

I know, I know, but i'm willing to give Campbell a shot, for a later round pick. I haven't watched alot of redskins games, and I don't know anything about his leadership. However his numbers have gotten better every year, it seems he been able to stay relatively injury free, and if you look at late high round pick it's seem by their 4 or 5 season as a starter is when they start to break out. Compare his numbers to guys like brees / scaubb, there not that far off, and change of scene did them good. Plus washington has to get rid of him, he has been asked not to return to the teams voluntary workouts once mcnabb got there. Also look at the redskins the past few years, they have been as dysfunctional as the Bills so it's no surprise this guy was in a position to fail. If you think about it long and hard it make sense, and othen then the 2nd round, we can't draft for bean anyways. My only concern is, that Campbell is a guy that keeps you at 7 to 9 winners a year. (Is he that guy ?) I feel like without a top 3 pick we may never land a franchise QB. I really don't know I'm just asking.

nice post

Maybe if I buy a Brady Jeresy, then New England will dump him to.

Hard to remember that 17 months ago we were 5-1, and headed to the playoff. Floyd Reese was on NFL live picking us for the superbowl. He had a young franchise QB, a young pro bowl running back, a young undrated pro bowl left tackle, and a young team that could only get better. We were maybe 1 or 2 players away from be a real contender. Now we have no QB, no LT, our young running back is on his way out. No proven coach will come here even though we offer then boat loads of money. Player from other team don't want to come here. All this in 17 months, What happened?

Why is it that every bills jeresy I buy, that player is gone in like 2 or 3 years. In 1988 I bought a T. Thomas Jeresy and had it for like 10 years. Since then I've been through Flutie, Drew, Winfield, Willis, J.P., Trent, and now Lynch. When I bought, the Lynch jeresy, I thought wow this is sure thing for years to come. Who should I get thrown off the team this year?

What about the Raiders? They need a QB. They wanted Mcnabb.

Everyone in western new york better wake up. Whats with everyone happy Mcnabb was traded to the Skin so we could save draft choices because were rebuilding for the future. What future? Until we get new ownership in here that is committed to buffalo for the long term I says winner right now!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ya, lets build a team so when the old man dies, the team can be moved to L.A. and they can win a superbowl. Then we can all hear how the team struggled in buffalo, but now has great sucess in a new market. The fans better start to believe that this season might be our last. I didn't care if they sign Mcnabb, TO, Flo. Adams, I don't care how old they are, or how much it cost. Who ever it takes it win. The Bills are our team, we put the pain and tears into them, no one else. He supported them through good and bad. There no way I'm gonna sit here and pretend I'm happy we saved draft picks so we can build a team for some other city to enjoy.

I know he's a bit undersided for a 3-4 NT, but I don't remember Freddy or Jeff Wright being all that big when the Bills ran the 3-4 in the late 80's and 90's. How is this different?

I agree, the whole system under Jauron was off. To many questionable moves last year to throw it all on Trent, offensive line issues, firing OC 1 week before opener, pressure of T.O., Lynch's off field issues, unlimited injuries, etc. I don't know how talented he is, but at least he seem to be able to think out there when he's not being buried. I also tend to question the wide receivers, I won't feel like they get any seperation. With the expection of the long ball they don't seem to be able to produce any yards after the caught. Maybe this limits Trent's window to throw the ball, and he is forced to check it down. I don't know, I guess when in are a 10 year funk, and there is no end in sight, you grab any hope you can find.

Two most important positions in football, QB and LT, take the best possible prospect of those position at 9.

I still think the two most important positions on the field are QB and LT. I think with the first pick you take the best LT or QB out there. In the second round I would look for the NT and/ or possibly see if something worked out with the browns for Shaun Roger, I've heard some mention that they may like to unload him. I wouldn't trade him for a low pick, but maybe a higher pick and a player. I could see him playing there for the 5 years. I think Maybin has to have a chance to be the pass rushing specialist. However I would like to see a stay at home LB, like D. Talley from back in the day, but I wouldn't draft him until the 3rd round. I really don't think the bills are going to do much this year, I think they will have a top 5 pick next year, With a new CBA there should be a cap, I think they will be way below it, plus all those restricted free agents who have been given 1 year tenders will be unrestricted next year in addition to the other who are scheduled to be FA in 2011. I think they should evaluate the talent they have in there new system, and try to make both lines soild for the next year.

I think he is a guy who should come for a visit. Anyone know the extent of the injury.

Could be true, but if you think about all the possible RFA (200+) who were taken off the market, there really only a hand full of guys you can get excited about. There not those 4 or 5 year players who drafted in later rounds that have started to develope into good players after a couple years. What out there are who 30+ year old player or prior IR guys who looking for work. It's ok when your 2 players away, but to try to build a team this year, forget it.

I think he might make a good right DE, but don't you need speed to play the left/ blind side. I don't think he produce a ton of sacks, but he should be able to hold his own and maybe free up a blitzer.

It seem like the Raven are pretty set on there O-line. Maybe he's a guy who could fall through the cracks. If he is healthy he must be better then what we have.

Does anyone know anything about this guy? UFA offensive tackle from the Ravens. 18 starts over the last 4-5 years. Relatively young, only 27. Missed last season due to a knee injury. Planning a visit with the Colts, but they can't sign him yet due to the final 8 rule. Looks like a Brad Bulter possible replacement. Started 54 games at syracuse.
