Im amazed you actually got past the first quarter watching the tivo'd game.

Ya know, I wish we could clear this up once and for all (because I am sick of posting it). MIKE WILLIAMS CANNOT TAKE A PAY CUT WITHOUT GETTING A CONTRACT EXTENSION. His cap number is so ridiculously high next season. We can cut him and save alot on the cap, or we can extend his deal out and stretch out the cap hit for a number of years. Those are the options. If we feel he may yet come around, and/or he is a good reserve lineman, it may be worth spreading out the cap hit and giving him an extension. However, if we feel he is not capable of playing ANY better than he has been this season, we need to cut ties and move on. again, ASKING HIM TO TAKE A SALARY CUT IS NOT GOING TO WORK WITHOUT EXTENDING HIS CONTRACT. And therin lies the dillemma.

Does anyone know what he did? The fact moulds is not out there saying he was wronged, and the fact that there has been no appeal (to my knowledge) by the NFLPA, I have to think there is something credible behind this suspension... Dont get me wrong, i love the guy and everything he has done for the bills, but there has to be something here

My how fast we forgot last years 9-7...

a) who is mr. larry b) i think this works well. Let TD handle the marketing/money side of things, and let Modrak take the lead in player development/roster management. Give MM some players then re-evaluate him again at a later date. Sunday MM disapointed me BIG TIME, but perhaps we need to give him another shot

Why not? thats what we did last year!

I agree. I put up with berm, and even somewhat like him, because he is a die hard bills fan...but since thats the only reason i like him...odds are fans of the other 31 teams cant stand him.

Hmm..so you too would have selected Mike Williams...

I agree with most of what you said...only problem I have is with Mike Williams. We are really at a crossroads with this guy. If we see something in him, that he can become an avereage player, we can extend his contract (thus lowering his cap #s). The other option is to cut him altogether. There really isnt an inbetween. (i.e. we cant really say, take a pay cut or go home). Salary cap doesnt work that way. I would like to see EM back, but it appears less and less likely. I agree though we need a big physical WR on this team, so one would need to be picked up. Clements will be an interesting situation. I see no reason we cant tag and trade him ala Peerless Price. Doubt he fetches a #1 with how he has been playing of late, but a #2 is a real possibility. But...do we want to risk him signing the tag? Could get touchy. If we trade clements for a #2, we then have an early first, two 2nds (one early) and 2 early thirds. This gives us a good chance to seriously build an OL, DL, and sure up some aging positions (Safety, CB, LB).

But Edwards is a very good defensive tackle...Criqui Said so!

I believe rusty jones retired..could be wrong thoguh

While it sounds so obvious and so intuitive, I dont know what else you expect him to say. He clearly isnt going to commit suicide and claim the team is not conditionied properly or that they have no heart or gave up. I agree, that comment is lame..but he is in a rough position having to do this news conference. what was he supposed to say?

I dont think he would want it...and I think he is doing a damn good job with JP as it is.

5 if you include the music city "miracle".

12. Profit

Something to do with his back muscles (MW)

Holcolmb #2 QB today

Ryan Leaf had an attitude...people suspected that might be an issue. Same with randy moss and Lawrence Phillips. Sometimes these players pan out, sometimes they dont. These are risky picks. Mike Williams did not have many negatives. He was as close to cant miss as it gets in the NFL. Unfortunatly we appear to have the losing ticket in the 99:1 sweepstakes. Any other person acting as Bills GM at the time would have made the same decision. Cant fault TD for this...sorry.

Did you miss the part about them being in the final year of their contracts?

He is a top 10-20 cb in the league. End of story. Problem is, McGee is about 40-50 in the league, and he will be our #1 CB next year if we dont make a move. Bottom line, I think Clements is franchised. We will draft a CB. If we can trade clements for a #1 or possibly a #2 we do it. Otherwise, we eat the cap and keep him for a year and develop our drafted CB (1st or 2nd pick). I highly doubt you will see him sign a long term contract. I agree he is a ood corner, but he needs to step it up and BE that good corner he thinks he is. If he gets schooled by smith and johnson...he can kiss that big paycheck goodbye.

I dont think its that McNabb is no Jim Kelly, but more likely that TO is not Andre Reed... Im happy with the way mcnabb handled the situation. TO is the one out of line here. Good riddance

Its one year. Regardless of how bad clements looked yesterday, he is still a top corner in this league and WILL get a big contract in FA. Tag the guy and try to trade him. My guess is we can get a late first/early 2nd for clements. If he has to stay and play out his franchise tag, there are worse things that could happen.

Im really not sure why people think holcolmb gives us a better chance at winning now anyway...

Interesting point...wonder how much cap space TO will eat up if claimed...

The solution seems easy. Start the game at 7PM local time. If its on the west coast, too bad, it starts at 10. if its on the east coast and your on the west coast, it starts at 4.
