In agreeing with others, Reed (prior to the groin injury he suffered in 1995 against the freakin Jets) was just a phenomenal receiver, both in hands and in RAC. Moulds had some bright moments, but in the history of the Bills, Andre Reed is the greatest WR hands down and should already be in the HOF. He was one of the absolute best. Also, who can forget his second half performance in the Comeback Game....

What's this "hockey" thing you speak of? Go Bills !!!

Jack, surely there must be just a touch of sentimentality left in your old soul.....

Jeez, I hated when we had to wrestle in grade school gym class. Now, had the wrestling been co-ed....

Says the proud partner of Olive Oyl.........

Pretty hard to negotiate in good faith when the plan for a lockout was laid two plus years ago, and that even when initially ruled against, the owners sought and received a stay in the lifting of the lockout. Yeah, the players are dead wrong.....(heavy sarcasm...)

With respect to the Bills ownership, the only thing Trump could do to keep me happy is to walk away like he just did with his Presidential ambitions. The man is a turd, well shined (not polished), but a turd none the less.

If your intent is to name the 5 worst players from 2010, you failed miserably when you opened with Kelsay. I'm no fan of Kelsay's by any stretch of the imagination, but did you even watch the Bills in 2010? Once this team has players at DE and OLB that can take his job, we'll all be happy as it will mean the Bills are making progress., but there are more than 5 other Bills who deserved their jobs less than he.

No, most teams that would be interested may well be willing to give up a draft choice or two simply because if they don't, they may not get him in a FA scenario. Waiting isn't certain is it?

Congrats to Talley !!!! Definitely a fan favorite in Buffalo. .....and congrats as well to "Earthquake".....

Goodell is a spineless toad of a commissioner. Pete Rozelle wasn't flawless, but he was able to "lead" instead of just regurgitating the company (owners) line. Tagliabue paled in comparison with Rozelle as well, but even he may have been a better commissioner than Roger the dodger..........

The owners themselves poisoned the waters beginning in 2008 when they opted out of the agreement they signed two years before and then sought and received TV revenue in the event of a lockout, which they have sole control over. .............and you expect the NFLPA not to be upset? Cry poverty, but won't prove it? If it wasn't for the owners backing out on a deal they signed two years before under the ruse that they are being financial hurt and need relief, I'd tell the NFLPA, no you can't see the books, yet it was the owners themselves that made their financial positions as being in need of relief. So, OK, prove it or drop the ruse all together. The NFLPA's de-certification isn't a sham, and it's never been one. It was simply one of their few options in dealing with the hand the owners are dealt them, and it was an obvious choice to anyone who isn't totally blind. Physics would dictate that for every action, there will be an equal and opposite reaction and it was the NFLPA that was left to react when the owners opted out of the 2006 agreement and protected themselves financially from a lockout they control. The ball has always been in the owners court and they chose this path, and even planned for it years ago. With that said, maybe Ralph is 100% in that the deal was bad right from the beginning and the new breed owners refused to listen to him, or even ask him a question, yet they did the deal and it's up to them to show why it doesn't work, and not just demand a great leap of faith for the players to believe them.

He got railroaded by the Bills. He could have ..................... (continued to suck for at least another year or two...)

Compared to Levy, Nix is but a lad..... Buddy is 14 years younger than Marv......

I sincerely hope Carrington pushes Edwards for PT. I was not impressed with Edwards last year at all.

That's likely to be true, but Bulger took a beating running Martz offense in STL. His career as a proficient QB was probably shorten by at least three years because of it.

Preposterous and ridiculous. Sure, there are some owners who clearly are absurdly wealthy and with their fail safe TV deal that included money for them in the event of a lockout (why do you think they are so set on a lockout - no lockout, no fail-safe funds from the Networks), they have minimized their own personal losses in the event there's isn't a season. The owners worked on this a couple years back in planning for what is going on now. For this year, it's the players who will get hurt the worst financially and that's what the owners banked on. Why do you, and many others, continue to berate the players for disbanding the NFLPA as a sham, while failing to mention or even acknowledge the lockout provisions the owners sought and received from the Networks years back? Your post is so much like what is reported on Fox, in that it conveniently left out key facts and data, so as to support your "opinion". If the lockout is allowed to stand, and I fear it will be, it will leave the owners in a position to continue their demands for more revenues not subject to any CBA, an 18 game schedule that only benefits them, a reduction in players salaries that will take them back to levels of 4-5 years ago, etc. Not one single item "improves" anything for the players, and they offer only relatively small incremental improvements for the retired players. With that said, the players themselves, should seek greater benefits for retired players, well above the owners limited improvements they've offered. Sure, that too would reduce what they can get now, but do these guys think they will be playing forever? With careers as short as theirs, long term benefits should be of keen interest to them (not Manning or Brady, or similary wealthy players who don't need any help) as most won't be in the NFL but for a short while. Yet, the gimme now mentality of the owners and players isn't likely to produce real improvements for those players who have gone before.

............... Finally, a touch of logic.

Regarding the never ending one-sided view of some, the owners planned for a lockout at least a couple years in advance and that's a positive thing for contract negotiations? The NFLPA had little choice but to play one of the few cards they have. Allowing the lockout to stand could kill football for this year as all that will remain is litigation, and I'm not so sure the NFL really wants to fully test anti-trust laws. I for one believe lifting the lockout would do more to get both parties back to the bargaining table by far.

Ah.... now that's some optimism, sadly somewhat in short supply around here.

Ryan is a turd, and it appears yo seem bent on following in lard asses footsteps. Close but no cigar Jets. This year, you won't get as close...sorry. Your draft? I've give you one, maybe two. The rest......
