If they kept Perry Fewell as DC when Gailey took over as coach the team would have been more successful.

I think he could still be signed to the PS

I see the team keeping...I see them keeping 6 at least. safe: SJ, woods, Goodwin, Graham likely: Rodgers---in terms of upside potential of those remaining he has the highest ceiling. battling for a spot: Easley, Hogan, and Brad Smith I can see them cutting a player first to put someone else on the in season IR then resign the player. Brad smith has an edge because he can be used in the return game/special teams and an emergency QB. PS: Kauffmann

Not all that worried since the ONLY home game in BUffalo in December is against Miami. the other game is in toronto thus an automatic sell out from Buffalo's perspective. The previous game in Buffalo will be against the Jets is 11 days before thanksgiving. The games of blackout concern would be Cincinnati and KC.

see above in blue....

7-9 would be: sweeping Jets beating MIA once beating CLE, JAX, KC, and either TB or CAR Most difficult home games: NE, ATL, BALT Most difficult road games: NE, NO, PIT They nhave the benefit of playing a possibly resting NE team to close the season....I wish they werent playing NE to start the season and instead played a weaker opponent. Then I would be more comfortable with EJ starting. Kolb has actually had some success playing against NE.

I dont think Sampson is eligible for PS. He was drafted by Arizona in 2011 he played in 12 games which counts as an accrued season (6 games or more---unsure if that means on the 53/getting paid or actually being dressed). 1 accrued season means no PS eligibility for them.

I would claim Asomugha in a heartbeat if he was cut---worth the risk/reward. It just shows how NFL systems really do matter in the NFL. Revis could bust in TB ....not likely but it could happen. what hurt Nnamdi Asomugha in Philadelphia was his style of play doesnt mesh with the way Philly played in terms of man-to man, isolated coverage, or zone defense. He may be better suited to the role of just leave me to this one receiver and let me follow him around the field instead of worrying about zones/areas and assignment responsibilities.

Lindell we be kept under preseason week 4 game as will Brad Smith. Remember in the final preseason game they tend to rest the starters so I wouldnt be surprised to see Brad smith play a quarter and a hlaf at QB. Smith???who will they have left as a blocking TE? Troup is another one likely on the bubble in week 4---not week 3. I would agree with all of them.... Sometimes if they have a player who has talent but they think is a little raw (not contribute this season) they will hide him in the preseason games , cut him at the first cut with the sole purpose of signing him to the PS.

If they can go 5-1 in division (sweep MIA and Jets), go 2-0 in noncommon games (JAX, KC) and then 2-2 againsts AFC North (beat CIN and CLE)and 2-2 against NFC South (beat TB and CAR) you are looking at 11-5. 11-5 usually means playoffs.

He was a really good Bills CB---injuries took him just like what happened with Nate Odemes. Of course because the Bills havent been doing all that well he didnt get as much fame and respect as teams CBs who regularly made the playoffs.

I wouldnt call failing for 2 teams...... Philadelphia traded him to Arizona for a 2nd + CB Rogers-Cromartie. He got injured then vick took the job from him. In Arizona he had injuries.

The Bills play their game when a bunch other teams play so on friday night NFL network usually does a broadcast where they jump around to other games. One game is supposed to be on FOX, so the other 3 are ones that NFL network will show footage of. You will probably be able to see some of the action happening. NFL network will rebroadcast 16 games..if game takes 3 hrs to show, that is 48 hrs of broadcast time. them rebroadcasting a game about 36 hrs after the live game isnt all that much of a stretch. NFL network showed the Colts game live...through indy feed It will show the week 3 game against Washignton live as well (its the only game happening in that window).

Im not saying tuel should get a shot at the starter..... Because he went undrfted is irrelevent in who is the starter. In terms of track record on Tuel---Im much more familiar than many on this board by my living in the same state as Washington State Univ where he started. Had he gone to a bigger school in football he likely would have gotten more exposure and thus he likely wouldnt have fallen out of somehting like the 3rd-5th round. Many draft experts preseason last year had him as a 3rd-5th round pick. His draft stock fell in part because his skill set doesnt quite fit in with Mike Leach and he had is top WR kicked off the team mid season.

If Kolb can play: 1st Q Kolb starts--goes to mid 2nd,,,,,EJ does mid 2nd through end of 3rd, tuel for 4th game 2: Kolb/EJ play quarters 1-3, tuel plays 4th game 3: Kolb/EJ play quarters 1-2, tuel plays 4th---In one of these 2 games EJ gets to start If Kolb cant: EJ 1st-mid 2nd, Tuel mid 2nd-3rd, 4th Brad Smith. If Brad smith doesnt then its half each. game 2: Kolb first half, EJ plays 3rd, Tuel plays 4th game 3: Kolb/EJ play quarters 1-3, tuel plays 4th game 4----each QB does 1-2 possessions, Tuel does about 2 Quarters, Smith does the last half of the 4th.

The ladies on Chippewa will now have high level clientelle to service

Dont know the terms of this contract change....The reason he has been kept around..... 1. After SJ there isnt much experience in the receivers 2. He has special teams experience 3. He is an emergency QB...may get some time at QB just to make it so Tuel knows he isnt safe as 3rd QB. 4. He has the athletic ability to allow Buffalo to get creative in the offense. Is there a guarentee he makes the team...no...... He could easily be a last week cut if the rookies do a good job in learning the offense. If he earns a job in this team he could be budgeted in the roster as a special teamer.

You can do the subway/metro to the station by the stadium and either walk or they will have buses that run to the stadium.

Please piss cold.....

If I'd wager on who makes the club I'd bet on WR Rogers and QB Tuel. Robey and Edwards would battle for a spot with one of the two earning PS invite. I thnk robey could transfer to FS.

because chip Kelly made an extensive effort in trying to recruit EJ Manuel to Oregon. He felt he would fit in well with his offensive scheme. Him coming for Oregon he likely knows whom his players were and likely would target one of them. Just like I think Buffalo will be seriously contemplating picking the safety from Syracuse if they feel they ned one in the 4th. He is around the 10th best available left so it lines up with Buffalo's pick.

So far it seems Buffalo has screwed with his Drafting game plan. First we pick EJ Manuel in the 1st when he likely would have taken him in the early 2nd or possibly moved up a few spote to the late 1st to take him. Then in the 2nd round we take his linebacker that he probably penciled in for his 3rd round pick or if he felt he'd get taken he'd move up into the late 2nd to get him.

i agree.....rookie year he will be more of a returner/gadget play guy.

They hold onto Smith. He has that mobility....he isnt bad as a receiver. As far as i know his contract doesnt have any guarentees in it.......so he could get cut during camp. Could he get cut---sure. Lets see how he is in camp/preseasons plus how the rookies fare. There is also the risk of injury. I see 4 WRs are safe on the roster (assuming no injuries) Stevie, TJ, plus their 2 WR picks. This means 2-3 jobs are going to be available. One of these jobs has a special teams piece, and the other job would be one for the hybrid player of the WR/TE/FB role.

This is really irrelevent.... It doesnt really matter if they are 4 or 5 yr contracts...you still can cut them if they fail. similarly if he is a big time success they renegotiate the contract to pay him what he is worth. The reason they took him is because Philadelkphia would have taken him at their 2nd round pick or traded up to around 24-27 to take him.
