I can't see Wire making this team. No matter how good he is at special teams, there are too many better options ahead of him at safety.

I love fantasy football, but I agree 100% with this. I don't watch the games for my fantasy teams, I want to see the game and only the game when I'm watching on TV. I select my lineups on Friday's, keep an eye out for any late scratches Saturday and Sunday AM, but usually I don't look again until Monday AM to see how I did and if I still can win with the Monday night game. FF is fun, but I don't need all these stupid reports on TV and on the internet 24/7. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to see if anyone became available at RB in the last 15 minutes.

No, but I'd consider sending them Anthony Thomas for a 4th.

Being a realist by name , you have to look at whats happened to both teams in the preseason. I know they say it really doesn't mean anything, but you can't tell me that Buffalo has looked great. They look like a team that is growing and slowly coming together. The key word there is "slowly". They look improved but to think they will beat the Pats on the road in game 1 is a bit too optimistic. They pats have looked like their old selves in preseason so far. I think Buffalo has a much better opportunity to beat them at home the second time they meet. This team has to work together for awhile yet. Pats 31 Bills 17 You'll see several stupid penalties and a couple of "dumb" mistakes by JP. And of course Brady killing us with that short passing game to the backs and TE's.

That's exactly how I am! Give me football before any other sport or team. I can't wait for the season to get started. The Bills are first, then any other NFL game, then the Sabres. After the NFL playoffs its all Sabres and NHL.

I like your roster, looks like it very well may end up that way. I'm not sure about Goldsberry, making the the team, I don't think he has shown anything this preseason. Maybe keep Ricard instead. One item of note, you have Eric Powell as the 4th DE and also have him in your cut list. (Edit: Sorry, didn't see BuffaloboyinATL already caught this.)

Julius Peppers makes almost every tackle look like a turnstile. I'm happy with Peters' progress so far.

Yeah, I saw that. I went through last night and changed the top 100. After that, I just made a quick scan to make sure there was nothing horrible in there, like Kelly Holcomb at about 125.

I will be out of town that weekend. It will auto draft my players according to my pre-rankings won't it?

I just joined, but unfortunately I won't be in town for the draft.

As of now, the only thing I reading from this, is Holcomb is not going to be the starter on opening day. But, I do think its very possible that Nall overtakes KH with a good game on Saturday, if he hasn't already.

Was he passed out with an empty beer in hand against the wall?

If he's ready, I'd give him a series. Just to get him back up to game speed for a few plays.

In that case, you have to question the validity of any and all posts on this site and any other site for that matter. After all, 90% of all posts are opinions and who is to say just whose opinions are valid and whose are not.

What the hell is the fascination with this guy, just because he's a 280 lb fat tub of &*%^? His hand offs look like a high school quarterback, on passes just seems to fling the ball out there almost not caring where it goes. I just don't get why everyone likes this guy.

Sorry, but JP needs to get all the reps he possibly can. I'd keep him in the entire 1st half, then come in with Nall in the 2nd and play a bit into the 4th quarter. Then give Holcomb another shot the last 7-10 minutes of the game.

Not that it really matters in a preseason game, but its being reported that Carson Palmer is not playing Friday night. Personally, I was hoping to see him at least one series to see if our defense can show any improvement against a solid first string offense. Link

I'm watching the game now and I really can't believe Morgan is even still on this team. Between letting guys run right by him and a critical false start penalty on 3rd and 3 deep in carolina territory, on ensuing 3rd and 8, Losman was sacked (and guess who's guy blew right past him).

I wonder if he could be fined for that. You're right, maybe before he opened his mouth, he should go back and look at the Superbowl tapes before talking trash about the refs.

I think you're pretty low in your projections for JP, considering last year in 8 games (not even full games) he had 1340 yards thats an average of 167 yds/game. Your estimates above would be only 147 yds/game. As bad as our QB play was last year, they still managed 2700 yards between the two of them. Your pretty much looking at a disaster of a year for JP and absolutely no improvement. I would at least suspect minimal improvement. If he finishes with only 2300 yards, I would officially say he isn't going to make it on this team and its time to cut ties with him and its time to look at Brady Quinn and another 3 years of development for him. To be honest, I'm looking for about 3000 yards from JP and 1/1 TD to int ratio. I wouldn't be ecstatic, but I'd be pleased that he is getting better and I think that would bode well for next year.

Its a little early to be calling this draft a great success. Although, things do seem to be looking good this early. Lets see where this draft class stands at the end of this year and again at the end of 2007. We should get a pretty good idea by then. They always say it takes about three years to properly judge a draft class. Lets give them at least one, first.

Cleveland Browns! Then the Superbowl against the Detroit Lions!!! Hey, if the Bills can make it to the AFC Championship game, why not?

Does it really matter who starts Saturday? Right now Holcomb is penciled in as starter (at least he has been getting the first repetitions in camp), so I really don't think anything will change from now until the game. Holcomb will start this week and unless something drastic takes place in the next 10 days, Losman will probably start game 2. A final decision on a starter for the season will probably follow that game.
