By the way, it is great to hear he is set to leave the Aints. I was concered. It shows, IMHO, that they do not have a commitment to winning.

This guy has something like a point. The Niagara Falls Reporter

Preston does not = Bentley, the best center in football, maybe second only to Jeff Saturday. Center is what it is all about. How many Super Bowls do the Bills go to without Kent Hull? Not four, that's for sure. Experience is needed at center. A top center needs to have the gametime experience reading defensive stunts, detecting blitzes and calling out line adjustments. We need to upgrade both guards. So I agree with the earlier suggestion to move Gandy to LG and give Preston a shot at taking Villy's job. That would be one tough middle three.

The most realistic scenario I've read that I think would give the Bills a legit shot at the playoffs next season. Bentlely is the key, obviously. I wouldn't mind keeping Williams if he is willing to play for guard money -- not top-flight guard money.

Check yourself before you wreck yourself. The Bills lost by 42. If Beebe hadn't stopped Lett's TD, the Bills would have lost by 49, thus losing by more than Denver had lost to San Fran (45).

Actually, Beebe's legendary effort saved the Bills from the worst trouncing in Super Bowl history. If Lett scores, Dallas wins by the largest margin ever. Instead, the Broncos keep that dubious distinction -- 55-10 to the Niners.

The Bills could very likely use the throwbacks for a Thanksgiving Day game. I wouldn't mind playing the Lions on a Thursday. Of all the teams the Bills face next season, the Lions are among the few I think the Bills could get away with having a short week to prepare for.

Why did the Bills even bother with an offer? It was widely reported that the Rams offered him nearly a million bucks, and he turned that one down, saying the offer was too low. All that said, I am happy with the man the Bills ended up with.

Good find. Maybe he'll have Jim Kelly-like paries after the games. Any word on if he's going to open a sports bar in downtown?

Apparently you don't mind being lied to then. Wilson clearly said money wasn't going to be an obstacle in bringing the best coaches to Buffalo. No, the Bills are not a public entitlment -- but buying tickets, jerseys, hats, etc. is not something I must do -- they aren't taxes. By the way, I know the Bills rank among the top half of NFL teams in income.

Then maybe the team shuld have paid DJ more. Or hired a coach worth more.

The Bills are pissing me off right now more than ever before. There is no doubt in my simple mind that Ralph Wilson Jr. is a cheap jerk.

I don't think there is any doubt about it -- bring in TED and draft a DT or DE in the 1st = a fixed defense that would be able to stop the run every week = playoff-caliber D again

For the right price, bring Big Ted in for one more round. It would help Sam immensely, and it would allow a rookie DT the time needed to get use to NFL speed. Get 'er done, Marv!

He's 37 -- would be 38 by the time the team heads to St. John Fisher.

I wasn't even aware that the Stinkin' Fish needed a DC? So I don't know who else needs one. I think the Vikes are still looking. How about the Aints? If Henderson leaves New Jersey, they'll need one too. Has Houston hired a new DC yet? Any team that got a new head coach is potentially looking for a new DC.

I cannot imagine a trade here -- so if Henderson came to Buffalo, he'd be signing a new contract.

But we hardly knew 'ya. Hope he enjoys cleagning up after the messes Olson will make.

No, no, no...the team very badly needs coaches who are capable of making good mid-game adjustments. Grey has proven, IMHO, that he cannot.

Modrak is the assistant general manager -- he'll be scouting (and having a big say in who actually gets drafted), but the real scouts work directly for Majeski, the team's college scouting coordinator.

Is there a single free agent who would be more valuable to the Bills than LeCharles Bentley? I don't think so.

I think this will would fall under John Guy and Doug Majeski's relm of responsibility.

Did they ever get back to that? I heard the Brick was showing well yesterday in one-on-one drills.

With either one of those, I think Willis McGahee ends up in the top three in rushing yards and TDs.
