[Brown says we are most interested in M. Turner]

Like the idea but what about LB?

 

It's almost as if with all of the Bills needs right now (LB, RB, CB, DT IMO) that one of the positions will have to sacrificed until next draft or put on the backburner for a while.

 

My guess is that CB is where the Bills will cool off a bit, it goes against Marv's reputation of DB's in the first but I think the other positions have greater need.

 

 

 

 

Willis Branch will fit right into are system at LB...generallee83, we'll be reeaaaaaaal good at the position if we get him, and we'll be real young with a core of starting guys that will be around for awhile.

[Brown says we are most interested in M. Turner]

I'm definitely cool with all the moves we've made so far in free agency....But if we trade our first round pick for Turner, who does have a lot of potential, it would be a mistake...

 

If we can package a 2nd and a 3rd let's roll with it.

 

 

I think I agree. Get Turner, pick up Branch in the first round, possible get a DB with our other third round pick...that's a mighty fine day one to me.

[Depression setting in....]

But would you all agree that we are years away?

 

Can you remember a worse offseason?

 

 

Sorry, I must be out of my gourd b/c I am quite pleased with this off season. Nice pick-ups, question marks removed from the team, draft picks acquired, malcontents ejected (sorry, I love TKO, but he also qualifies a little bit as a malcontent - see last years comments about JP).

 

I will miss TKO, as well as you do. However, I will miss the 2004 TKO, not the 2007 version.

 

The same way I missed the Chris Spielman we signed and not the one we let go.

[Carr? Bills? why?]

Carr will start somewhere next season. It is pretty much laughable that anyone would think we are interested in him for any reason, considering that the trade bar is being set as "trading a starting QB".

 

It will be interesting to see what he can do behind a decent o-line.

 

 

Agreed. It is also ridiculous and, additionally, a little annoying because essentially it appears it is coming from lazy reporters who did not realize that JP Losman had a good season last year (especially in the 2nd half of the year) and are lumping Buffalo in with other teams with QB problems based upon there memories of, "JP = Bad QB."

 

 

I get so tired of this from national reporters. Please, some genius tell us again how bad our 06 draft was.

[Rb Michael Turner]

That being said, a draft day trade would be the preferable way to pull this off.

 

 

A draft day trade for an unproven back-up that everyone seems to love.

 

 

hmmmmm, where have I heard this before?

 

 

No matter what, though, i want a RB either in the first or second round, or by a trade like this for Turner.

[Boston Radio Talk Show this AM]

I just love living in the Boston area... not!

 

 

 

How delusional can they be?

 

 

Don't they have the Red Sox to talk about?

[Greatest Comback game the Bills vs Oilers replayed on NFL network at 5]

I was at the game.

 

And why should anyone believe me over the 500,000 other people who have said that they were at the game? I was lucky enough to have a box seat on that day.

 

28-3 at halftime, so what. No way i was going to pass-up free chicken wings, roast beef, pizza and drinks.

 

I still went nuts, though, in that third quarter. When I was driving home i called my buddy who was sitting in another section and left the game at halftime (by the way, my cell phone back then was almost the size of a one liter bottle today) and I could not stop screaming to him about "The greatest comeback in NFL history!!"

 

What i really miss is that I lost my VHS tapes that i made of Gameday later that evening.

[Thurman Thomas]

Did any of the five highlights show Thurmal blocking?

 

The talent he had for taking guys out at his size always seems to be left off his resume, except by us Bills fans.

[Sorry if old; Is the Sportlines/Xchange article concerning our cap sit]

Clump has the Bills 19 million under. I'll take his word.

 

 

I think I agree with you.

 

Even if it is somewhere in between, I'll take it.

[Sorry if old; Is the Sportlines/Xchange article concerning our cap sit]

I thought, according to the Buffalo News and Clump, that we are at the very least comfortable with our cap situation.

 

However, the Sportsline/Xchange article from the 17th makes it seem like we're right up against it.

 

 

What gives, please?

[Break out your crystal balls]

i thought we are always supposed to open with the patriots and then also get the patriots mid season when they are coming off of a bye.

 

 

Death, taxes and playing the patriots after their bye week...ah, the certainties of life.

[What does your name mean?]

I'm fat.

[Taking the optimists down a notch.]

I don't always like what Bob Mathews has to say, but this is about as dead on the money as you can get.

Particularly, these two parts:

 

Ouch.

Ouch.

 

daquix,

 

I here ya and it does sting a little bit.

 

Honestly though, two things:

 

1. I think we drafted better last year, top to bottom, than our divisional opponents drafted.

2. I think our 2006 draft picks have better upswing potential (MaCargo, Whitner, Williams, etc) than our divisional opponents' picks.

 

And I believe in our 2007 draft b/c of the above.
