Justice

It was Lost. Maybe Arntz or the couple that stole the diamonds. I can't remember which.

What a coincidence. I was just gonna post something about The Wire. I just finished it last night. Great show. Not BB level, but pretty darn good. Where The Wire could have improved is in their season finale's. They're anticlimactic. BB doesn't have that problem. Great characters and storyline. Some of my favorite characters are Omar, Avon, Stringer, Bunk, Lester, McNulty, Carver and Bodie. That's a lot of characters to like for one show. Everytime I think about Snoop's scene in the hardware store I laugh. Season 2 was pretty weak in comparison to the rest of the seasons. I was ok with the finish. I highly recommend many of the shows you guys have already. Orange is the New Black, House of Cards, True Detective, Shameless, Lost, Friday Night Lights, Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire and Prison Break are all very excellent shows.

Great news! Now decapitate the mofo.

A bit of advice: pay close attention to what Murph has to say on his show. For over a week now he's been all about not re-signing Byrd. I truly believe he's been given inside information. His job is to lube us up. I truly believe that. The second I heard him speak on the subject I knew Byrd wouldn't be tagged.

40 time is different than playing speed. Watkins plays faster than Woody.

Schefter: Bills could make a run at Mike Vick I don't buy it for one second.

I believe he will sign for less money than anticipated here. He just wants out of Buffalo.

I can't help but think this has been their plan all along. They knew D. Williams and Meeks wouldn't be ready last year so they played hardball. This year they HOPE those guys are ready.

First we hear Whaley say we will pursue all of our options when it comes to Jairus Byrd. Then we hear talks are going "pleasantly". And now we hear the Bills won't tag Byrd and he has rejected an excellent offer. It's funny how we all believe the third report the most. We know this team. This is their M.O. This is why we suck.

Yes. A compensatory pick. In a draft that will be thin due to all of the underclassmen coming out this year. Unbelievable.

This is the first time I've ever heard this. Players hate the franchise tag. If they get seriously injured them all that guaranteed money goes to waste. The players like the security of a long term deal.

Be prepared for the famous line again. "We only want players that want to be here". We're treading on dangerous ground. When someone like Dareus' contract is up he might say to hell with Buffalo. All I have to do is say I don't want to be here and I'll get my way. If we tag Byrd again, that very same free agent might say I better take what I can get before I risk bring injured playing on two one year deals.

Sorry bro. That's where you're wrong. He might have gotten away with that BS last year, but if he tried that same crap again he would only hurt himself. Teams might become skeptical to sign him if he says he's hurt, yet again, for two reasons. 1. They don't want to pay for a chronic gimp 2. They believe he's faking it and they don't want a guy that will do that kind of thing.

I don't want to go that route. I want to do what was promised to us. Build through the draft and re-sign our own. Free agency doesn't win games.

All but Mario and Anderson were good/cheap deals. All of them.

EXACTLY.

Keep telling yourself that. If that's true, they're even more inept than I imagined and that's saying a lot. They ARE cheap. Mario Williams is the exception, not the rule. How long can we milk that signing?

Well then he stays for one more year. Period. Therein lies the problem. Levitre walks and they sign Legursky as a replacement. It's a joke. A crying joke.

I agree, but don't replace him by shopping at the Salvation Army.

It's called a sign and trade, people.

Do you call letting Levitre walk and replacing him with Doug freaking Legursky "being smart about it and maximizing what they can get from his departure"?

What and where has all that extra cap space gotten us exactly?? What will happen if EJ becomes an elite quarterback and he wants to leave? If we can't/won't re-sign our own then what is the point of following this team? Buddy Nix told us a while back that we're going to build this team through the draft and re-sign our own. I'm not buying that bologna anymore. TPTB are only in this for the money. I see that now.

Mine too, especially since we already used picks on Searcy, D. Williams and Meeks. Good grief this team is frustrating. We still have to replace Levitre. Let's CREATE holes, instead of filling them. :wallbash:

When the Bills finally won the East back in '88 the Bills' fans tore down the goal posts and partied like no other. Countless Bills players called us the best fans in the early '90s and not even during interviews--they did it during the game! After losing for 14 straight years, we're still here and we're still hardcore fans. If that's the case why not let everyone leave then? They may not have been afraid to face us, but I'm sure teams schemed to stay away from Byrd. How do we even know this is fact? And even if it is, we can franchise him. We have the power, not Byrd. So yeah, that's "letting him leave". How you can see it any other way is beyond me.

The way I see it is we're on the cusp of becoming a winning team. Franchise Byrd again and win 10 games. I bet you anything he'll stay if that were to happen. There's no better town to win in than Buffalo. Losing sucks and he had enough of it. I don't blame Byrd.
