dollars 2 donuts

Some of us have touched on this before and this is part of the reason why we scratch our heads over why some teams spend a ton of money but still seem to have great cap space year after year. Nice catch, HoB.

Nice Beerball. GR must be driving along the shoulders of the information super highway.

You and me both, SW. I am not a great Madden player and I did not play a lot last year, but i gave some good Madden players a run for their money with hot route/ audible laden Bills team that had no business hanging around in games that long.

Can you imagine? What a jerk...asking for starter money in this league to sign and be a starter. If he wants starter money he should go sign and start for a team that utilizes the Tampa 2 defense.

Fear the Roos! fear the Roos!! Sorry, Univ. of Akron grad here.

BillsVet you are being ridiculous. Why would you want Nagata, the third highest ranked DT, we you already have the third highest ranked safety in Whitn...oh, wait...that's right. Good point. Well, we as Bills fans didn't want to draft Nagata anyw...oh, wait, that's not quite true, is it.

This is a very simple and direct statement, but it just plain nails the point.

Maybe, I just know that back then the media was television, movies and advertising: I remember OJ on the big screen, not the 15"-19" little screen of the internet. I remember watching OJ on SNL when SNL was THE thing at the time. and I remember OJ in almost every magazine for Dingo boots and on TV seemingly every 10 minutes flying through airports for Hertz, not just doing plugs for MNF. The 70s just called apologizing for not having the internet or reality TV, but yeah, he was pretty damn big...and not just in Buffalo. EDIT: Surprisingly enough, i think he may have also pushed a little orange juice in his time.

Not really, he was a movie star and had hosted Saturday Night Live (as edgy as anything in the 70s) long before his career in Buffalo ended. Trust us, some of us were present during the 70s while it was going on.

Juice, the actual article I read was from a couple of years ago. I think it was in Sports Illustrated and it was a great, great read. I am lazy and bad at looking up stuff, but hopefully someone can find it. Oh, and right back at ya EDIT: Well, i guess I am not that lazy, here is a similar article compliments of Mr. Frank - http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writ...01/cap.figures/

I mentioned this in a post awhile ago but can't find it; if memory serves me The Eagles and at one point the Vikings were two of the first teams to really manipulate the salary cap. In other words, and i am not exactly sure how on point I am with this, they front load contracts and/or do away with or use up cap space in a particular year to leave more money for following years. Sure, there was a risk and it is pretty free with the money, but it seems to have worked because they ALWAYS seem to have cap space.

offde I mean no offense, but do you really think it makes a difference what hand we do, or don't show...to the New England Patriots...on Monday Night Football...on the road? In the last 17 games we are 1-16 against this team and have been outscored 432-181 and if they were banned from looking at any film on us leading up to kickoff it will take them all of three plays into our first drive to figure us out. I hate to be THAT guy, but we kind of live in THAT world.

Honestly, if the above happened (lets say even Jones at LT) and I can't believe I'm saying this...I think we should be considered a playoff contender. Mind you, not a playoff team. Not a division champion. Maybe not even a winning record by the end of the season, and possible not even out of last place (given our division), but we should at least be one of the teams on the radar. Go Bills.

My deepest sympathy and condolences to Ralph and the Wilson family. BTW, if memory serves me, and some of you can verify this, she was responsible for pushing hard on the Bills drafting Andre Reed.

Geez, I'm sorry, i know it is a "Good" grade, but I don't understand comments like this. If you want to state the loss of Peters necessitated them getting an OT in the draft and they didn't, THEN SAY THAT. Otherwise the comment is wrong. Other than the picks we got for Peters he has nothing to do with this draft class. Why not just mention that because we lost Crowell in free agency this draft wasn't as good b/c we did not get a starting LB? Yes, I know, even though he wasn't the starting LB for us last year, but you get my point. Additionally, have the bills made any comments along the lines of, "We see Byrd as a Safety, but come on, he'll eventually go back to corner because we see him excelling at the position due to his one-step-behind lack of corner speed." ?

Small additional note: Maybin was 236lbs...about 4 months ago. Although i will take the A- from them.

Only two teams higher than ours in the DMN. I can really, really live with that. Thanks, KD, I'm starting feel damn good about this draft.

That's great, but more importantly I am waiting for the Dallas Morning News' grade for the Bills. I just have always trusted them when it comes to the draft.

Everyone made fun of the Bengals for making a "reach" pick on Levi Jones in that draft. Of the top three tackles taken in the 2002 draft which would you have wanted the last few years; Jones, Mike Williams, or McKinney? Yeah, I'll take Jones, please. Maybe not now b/c of his injuries but I always liked that pick for Cincy.

If Schobel and Moorman play with the bills after next season it will be their 10th year with the team. The thing is, off the top of my head I can't even remember the last "10" year Bill. I'm seriously asking the question b/c I want to know, but doesn't that also show the bad state of this team for drafting, retaining and obtaining talent? Ok, OK, rhetorically question, I know, but it is still pretty sad when you think about it considering the number of players from previous iterations that spent 10 years here.

Two Night references, can't remember who said them: "He can turn off the lights and be in bed before it gets dark." "He can catch a beebee at midnight during a new moon."

I'm sorry, you lost me at "three second-round picks." Three-second-round-picks. Look, I know it's the patriots and they always have a ton of picks each year, but I am just sick of it. It's like extra monopoly money for them.

From what I've seen they love Moreno and considering the tread (or lack there of) on Westbrook's tires I think they are going to go RB.

Yeah, very true. Regardless of whether you get your favorites or not if someone handed that to you as Bills fan you'd just have to shake your head and say, "damn, looks good."
