The Bills will do well to get a 6th for Henry. I wouldn't quite call him a cancer, but the Bills sucked this season with him in the lineup.
If they get no takers on a trade for him, I hope that he is cut. He has not helped the Buffalo Bills football team one iota this season, unless one heaps praise on falling on ones' ass, missing blocks, running wrong patterns and dropping easy passes.
Me, I would prefer the 1 mil cap space.

Congrats and God Bless.

Sure. When any of his predictions go down the tubes, as is usually the case, he merely takes an opposite view and claims to have been "right."
As for now, he is predicting that it "wont be easy" for the Bills to run the table. Brave stance, no?

Miami is a W if we are not too cocky.
cleveland putting up 50+ points? CRAZY! I say they shot their wads yesterday. Win at home
Cinci on the road. I don't like it. They are starting to play well AND are the only ones in quite some time to give Pitt all it can handle. Don't know about this game.
@ San Fran? BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAAHA! Ok ok, don't underestimate SF...snicker.....
and lastly Pitt. sorry folks, the only way Cowher power sits his starters, and his jaw, is if NE drops 2 by then. Not gonna happen. They will be playing for HOA throughout the playoffs.
4-1 at best, 3-2 with losses to Cinci on the road and Pitt at home being more realistic.
8-8 on the season is my best guess.
Thanks ICE. Most of us thought it would be easy. Looks like you will be "right" yet again!
Care to tell us if we will beat the phins with Bledsoe on sunday, or are you too scared to go out on such a giant limb?
-
It is a mix between what you and darrin said. We SHOULD hand a still beating to Miami, but I stand by my thoughts this is a trap game if there ever was one.

ICE, who will win, the Bills with Bledsoe, or the phins? By continuing to chicken out of a prediction, you are depriving yourself of being "right."Need more time?

Well you do sound thrilled.
How does ICE afford to keep you on his payroll?
-
To answer your question, no.
His game fell apart this season, and with a broken leg to boot, we will be lucky to get a 6th round pick for him imo.
That said, I wish him a speedy recovery.

I think you can give Drew a game ball today too, despite 3 picks. It wasn't until the 2nd half that WM picked up steam. We built the lead on Drew's arm in the first half. The picks were almost a byproduct of a mad passing attack.
Drew is starting to look like the Bledsoe of early 2002. Could he be finally waking from a 2+ year coma? Is Sam Wyche finally making a difference? Also, if DB continues on a tear, is he the QB for 2005? You can't judge much from JP Losman's two appearances, but to me he just does not look ready to start.

Well said Promo, and you deserve a ton of credit for posting honestly about a man you have blasted.
Hey, I have posted more than my share of complaints about Mike Williams, but he was just great yesterday and I hope he continues to do so and go to the Hall of Fame.
The bottom line is that we want the Bills to win more than to be "right" in some abstract way on a message board.

1) MM was superb. He gets better each game.
2) I have focused on Big Mike on every play I could since he arrived here. Yesterday, he was simply beating people up, and playing like he truly cared. What a game!!!
3) I LOVE that swing pass play to Shelton. Drew always killed teams with a fullback (Gash) and a TE (Coates). I hope to see more of that.
4) I am not saying that Fletcher is better than Ray Lewis, but there should be a way for London to go to the Pro Bowl along with TKO, who imo borders on being a superstar.
5) How great was it to see Evans involved so much on the offense? He too is learning and improving.
6) I know how good they are, but I cringe when Magee and especially Clements return kicks. If we lose many games, it will be due to those guys getting hurt. This I guarantee
7) I dont know how many noticed, but the receivers were blocking up a storm.
8) I truly hope that Burns, Stamer and that's right, Coy Wire are extended. These guys are special teams demons.
9) I feel sorry for any fan who, because of disdain for one player, did not get to enjoy this glorious victory.
GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With Travis Henry off of the football field, the Bills have a chance to win football games. I am thinking 20-17 Bills, but I am a homer.
ICE, as far as you latest crusade, what are you going to do if JP sucks? Many of you guys have him practically named to the pro bowl which is fine, but not necessarily true.
I will answer my own question. You will turn on him, blast him on threads which do not list him as a topic, and tell us all how you are stating "facts" and that you were "right."
Kinda sums it up, dontcha think?

>>>hypocracy<<<
Correct spelling?
Happy Thanksgiving!

Actually, that is probably their only choice. If they trade Rivers, they will have to eat his entire bonus. I dont know how much it is, but one would assume at least 10 million (cap ) dollars. Who knows if they have other dead cap space?
Look at the Bengals. Kitna had a good season only to be benched for a rookie because he was a #1 pick. The larger the bonus, the more difficult to impossible it becomes to trade or cut a player, let alone pay a ufa to play his position.

I was a fan of Hasselback since he was a backup on the Packers. Never will I underestimate that kid. That said, Robinson is out and Rice is almost as old as me.

I like the points.
You want a winner? A team that will cover the spread?
Take the giants and the points. This play fits into a system that I used to follow. I have not bet for many years, and will never bet again due to family responsibilities.
That said, if I was still willing to gamble, I would consider this game to be as close to a "lock" as it gets.

1) Imo, the Seahawks are one of the top 5 teams in the NFL.
2) The way our Special Teams are playing, this (imo) negates home field advantage.
3) Jones and Hutchinson probably constitute the best left side in the NFL. Gray must recognize this and come up with a way to get around it. Others have.
4) There is no way to win this football game without a great game from Willis. You know what? I think he can produce.
5) I am hoping that due to last week, the Seahawk defense will be forced to account for our TEs and Evans. This gives Drew a chance to pick his weapons, if he is capable of doing so.
6) Koren Robinson is out.
Bottom line? The Bills can win this football game, and I expect it to happen. Call me crazy.
GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As much as I respect the fact of how many times you saw him, I hasten to add that I have rarely been impressed by his play nor attitude. Tell me, are you happy with his cap hit and production as a #4?
At this point, I do see some improvement. I also strongly add that imo, Travis Henry cost him a ton in terms of pass protection. That man, a virtual idiot, has missed block after block, and done just about everything a running back can do to stifle an offense.
Lori, are you there?
How many sacks were given up in the games in which Henry started as opposed to games in which Willis started?Anyway, let's see how he does on sunday. I hope he kicks ass!

I focus on OL play as much as I can in each and every game I watch on TV, as well as those I attend. Anybody who has bothered to read my posts knows that I have been WAY less than thrilled by MW. Please understand, much of my displeasure has been due to his draft slot and contract/cap hit.
I am NOT glad that TD drafted a RT at #4. This has not changed. I am willing to say that the kid:
a) Played next to garbage for 2 seasons.
B) Was SEVERELY hampered by Travis Henry missing simple assignments.
c) Did not have the luxury until this season of a good OL coach.
I loved his game vs. the Rams. The only pressure from his side was not his fault. It was (what a surprise) Henry whiffing on a block and getting Bledsoe creamed, although he DID get the pass off.
A great RT CAN be worth the big bucks. It is somewhat rare, but can happen. Erik Williams comes to mind as a guy who, when he was normal, was worth a virtual blank check. He was THAT good. Can MW reach this height? Probably not, but I am pulling for him.
I always liked the kid, but I was concerned that he was a headcase. If he continues to play well, it will make a HUGE difference to the team. We cannot afford the cap hit of an average RT making almost Pace money.
In summary, the development of Big Mike will be as important as any other issue facing the Bills in the next season or 2, and I hope he comes around.

With regret, I disagree. I think there will just be a continuing contest to see who can move the furthest to the right. Politicians see that it works. The next guy will make Bush look like a flaming liberal. You can never wave the flag too much or proclaim your faith in God too much. There is always someone willing to be even more patriotic, even holier than the last guy.
I have asked a couple times here how far would be too far to the right and have recieved very few answers. Where is the evidence that there are those on the right that have a line beyond which they will not go? When Bob Jones wrote a letter to the President talking about pagans who hate Christ, where was the reasonable right to tell him to, in Cheney like fashion, go eff yourself? Nothing, nada, zip. Specter, creepy though he is, is what passes for a moderate Republican these days. He was just publicly castrated and I heard not a peep from the reasonable right which apparently was struck dumb, trembling in the shadows and just glad it was happening to someone else.
There is no physical law which demands that a swing too far to one side demands an eventual return the other way. This is politics, not a pendulum. Power begets more power.
Micky, if your party full of speech and rights depriving, tree hugging leftists could offer a reasonable candidate, we would not be ihaving this conversation, right?
Your gal Hillary recently described herself as practicing her religion in an "evangelical way." This will probably be the next piece of trash that your broken down party hauls
out in front of the American electorate. Think she will win?
Q: Senator Kerry, are you for or against gay marriage?
Ans: Yes.
C'mon my friend. Do you think that you can win with losers like that?

That's a good question. On the other hand, if the Bills would have handed the starting RB position to McGahee from the start of the season, would the Bills have been better off? Probably.
It's tough to say. It would be great if Bledsoe started to light things up and made this argument moot, but right now, he's just playing well enough to not lose.
With an entire offseason and preseason (and some starts this year), I believe the coaches can get Losman to that level at least. At that point, it comes down to who has the most upside, and Losman's mobiity gives him the edge.
Great point. If Willis was in from day 1 this season (assuming he was ready to go) it seems almost beyond reasonable dispute that the Bills would have a better record. They MIGHT even be in some sort of playoff contention.
This is an issue about which I have zero opinion. It rests in the hands of MM, and his career may hinge on being right, as well as the career of TD for making the trade which I still do not like, but that is jmo.
for those claiming Miami is an easy win...

That is just not true.
I am asking for a prediction for this game only. Win or lose?
