My thoughts exactly. Fortunately for Sabchez, he at least does not have to compete for the hot woman with Tebow.

Exactly right. The point I was making in my previous post. If it were the Bills claiming Mark Asper, a 6th round pick, off waiver a week before the season, we would have reason to be concerned. This has been the case far too long, but no longer is. Progress.

Time will obviously tell, but it was not my expectation this year that all the Bills draft picks would make the team. What you should expect after 3 years is that enough quality depth is being built that it is difficult for low round draft picks and undrafted free agents to make this team. This was not the case 3 years ago - they all made it- whether they were ultimately NFL quality players or not. Some people on this board seem to believe that each and every draft pick should be a sure fired winner. The fact is it is always a crap shoot and any team that finds more than two or three quality long term contributors in any given draft is indeed very lucky.

I did watch the games and watched Carder closely in the Detroit game. I was unimpressed and not at all surprised he was cut. Every year the fans here pick out a favorite long shot and this year it was Carder. I do not profess to be an expert at evaluating NFL players, but I saw nothing in his play during the preseason to indicate he was worth keeping. Just did not see it.

So I guess your point is you would rather have Lynch than Fred Jackson, right? Otherwise, not really sure what your point is. Lynch was not a good performer for the Bills when he was here. The bills also got a 4th which turned out to be Hairston I believe. 6th round picks do not always work out. Sometimes, players who you might like to bring back on the PS get claimed.

Cutting Heard has nothing to do with that.

Really just going by the fact that Moats seems to have landed ahead of Morrison on the depth chart. You may be right about their relative play - I cannot say I have paid that close attention to it. I do think this is more about Morrsion than Shepperd. They have a surplus of LBs and they need to figure out who can play where. They are going to end up cutting someone they would like to keep at this position. Fans seem to be very down on Shep, but I do not think the coaches are.

This has nothing to do with Shepherd. Moats has outplayed Morrsion for the outside spot and they are trying to see what Morrison's value is. Can he back up both spots? If not, perhaps they keep McKillup.

You are a complete dick.

There is great value in what Potter can bring. As someone else has pointed out, Potter also seems to have potential to be our kicker for the next 10 years or more once he learns how to kick FG in the NFL. It will be a very tough choice. The Bills are already going to have to cut some good football players at other positions. This is one less roster spot for a WR, DB, DL, OL, or LB they would like to have for the future. Keeping Potter would be a real luxury.

I would be surprised if Martin does not make the team. He is great on special teams. DeHaven gets this one.

You have an interesting style. Throw out a bunch of unsubstantiated opinion and dare people to prove you wrong with facts. I will not bother to point out the number of starters on IR as well as depth players on IR, or certainly not argue the value of these players, as your premise seems to be since they all suck it does not matter. This would be laughable if it was not so intellectually bankrupt. Instead it is just sad. Beyond that, nothing you have posted on this topic bears discussion.

And why do you care what they paid him? Is that salary coming our of your pocket? Or are you going to argue that they could have signed somebody else with that money? Who did they not sign or could have signed if not for Merriman? Thats retorical by the way because you do not and could not know. As the Bills showed this year, whatever they were paying for Merriman, or Kelsay or anyone else was not a hindrance in signing free agents they targeted, when they wanted to. Merriman was a chance that did not work out. Big deal. Move on. It would have been great if it had worked, but it did not. Still a great move by Nix in my book, even if it did not pan out.

Ho- hum Even more "ho-hum" than your previous post. If you are worried the sky is falling, I suggest you buy a helmet.

No point in wasting reps on a guy they know will not make the roster.

Not sure why people do not think this is helpful. Certainly, like all Senators, Schumer knows that anything worth doing is worth doing in a public way. However, it can just as certainly be very helpful to the cause of the Bills and those who want to keep the Bills in Buffalo to leave no misunderstanding in the NFL's eyes that a very powerful Senator understands that there is a relatively simple and painless way to help ensure the Bills' future in Buffalo. Goodell is not likely to miss the implied consequences of displeasing the Senator, nor miss an opportunity to curry favor for his business on the other hand. Very shrewd politics by the Bills and Schumer. Well done.

According to the Shanahan this morning, quoted in the Washington Post, Griffin will get 12 to 20 snaps in the Buffalo game.

Beat me to it. Probably a turkey baster.

I agree completely. No doubt this was Evans. In fairness to him, he did "grow up" in a highly disfucntional Bills organization with many coaches and QBs. Let's also remember it was Evans who on more than one ocassion publcially advocated for one QB or the other in their on-going search for the best of their mediocre QB options. He also clearly was not buying into Gailey's system. It is no surpirse to learn that Evans was viewed as detrimental to team chemistry and obvioulsy further explains why he was shipped out.

I know there is a lot of love for Roosevelt here but he just is not good enough. Aiken can still go PS so that will probably be his fate. Possibly also Session. Martin is atough cut because of special teams ability, but I am expecting another player will step up to this role and leave him expendable. Tough break for Clowney but I think he is camp fodder.

I don't buy the excuses. Yes, the Bills we're not very good around him, but Edwards was just plain awful. He had his moments, but for the most part he looked tentative to just plain scared. 3rd string QB in the NFL at best.

My only interest in the News is the Bills and Sabres coverage. I will miss the Sabres coverage - the Bills, not so much. There seems to be enough NFL content everywhere that the News is not really adding much value there. I cannot see it being worth $2.50 per week.

Subtle humour I am afraid will be lost here. If you ignore they guy who came out from under the bridge, perhaps he will go back there.

Thanks for posting this. I know I will link to it - good stuff. I agree this should be linked to TBD.

Actually, Center is the key position on the line. The Bills offense going south last year had much to do with Wood going out. I do not agree that anyone they plugged in at center "did just fine". It was an absolute disaster for the most part. The bleeding was stopped to some degree when Colin Brown took over late in the year, but this is a far better team with Wood at Center.
