We can sit back and piss all over Peters now since he's gone, but damn it, we get lucky and get a guy with talent who was an undrafted FA, and again we let him go....... I'm sorry, but at a minimum, the Bills should have gotten Philly's 21st and more than a 4th (3rd minimum). They get a get someone who can step right in and perform at a high level (Peters second and third years with the Bills proved that) and what do the Bills get? At best an unknown quantity who is likely a year or two away from being any real help, and that's if they're lucky and finally hit on a draft choice. They already dumped Dockery, who was better suited as a grunt than a zone blocker and miss-used, but what do the Bills have to replace him? The frigging O-Line is back to zip. 60% of the line will be new this year. That's just frigging great! Just great! Pissed? Yeah, that describes it well, but maybe I should calm down since we have such an excellent HC and staff....Oh what a minute, we still have Jauron and his cronies...... Ralph, you screwed the pouch you old turd. You should have sold the team the day you fired Polian. Damn it......

You give people with the name "Steve" a bad name. ....another warrior with a keyboard....jeez. "nuklz..." Thanks for the service.

I pray this is true. Great, wonderful news!!!! Go JOE !!!!

While I believe Fred Jackson has turned out to be a heck of a player, he's a 28 year old RB. The Bills could conceivably hold him for the next two years, without having to spend much. The market for a 30 year old RB is a pretty weak one generally. While we all pretty much agree he deserves to be better paid, the business side of football says "not likely".

Booker Edgerson played cornerback, opposite George "Butch" Byrd.

Tim, Is here any updated information on LeCharles Bentley? At one it was said he was going to give up trying to come back, but then his name popped up periodically saying he was now sound and interested in coming back. When he was healthy, he did seem to be quite a player..... Word?

The story is really little more than a headline, if even that. Yet......keep posting. With that avatar, the post is secondary. Great find....

Skoob.....lay of the BMW crap, no one cares and it makes you sound.....well....you get the message.

I don't mean the down play his successes back in the day. Yet, the fact remains that he was a quitter, and while it's nice to be somewhat reverent of those that have passed, the fact remains. Saban was a quitter.

You're sick.....

RIP Lou... Now, let's not rewrite history to suit our point of view. "Upon his return, he resurrected the franchise and took it back to the playoffs". 1972 (4-9-1) marked a improvement over the previous 1-13 bills of 1971, 1973 & 1974 both season at 9-5 with a playoff loss to Pittsburgh. 1975 marked a high water mark for the Bills offensively up to this time, with very successful running attacks (OJ & Braxton) and passing attacks, yet defense was weak and we finished 8-6. 1976 began with two losses, then two wins, then a loss. Then Saban up and quit. A 2-3 start that saw our Bills lose the next 9 games under Jim Ringo. Saban quit....simply quit....and the rest of his life, despite whatever gifts he possessed, he was nothing more than a quitter. Yes, the Bills did get to the playoffs once under Saban, but that was it. The year he quit, the Bills were miserable. Who can ever forget the Thanskgiving game against the Lions in which OJ ran for the then record 273 yards. We lost. Gary, miracle man Marangi has a lousy 15 yards net passing (Fergie was hurt). Saban ran from the Bills, and I too never forgave him for it. Saban was the quintessential quitter.

Philster, while the ball was more often thrown away from his coverage, his lack of INT's had more to do with his hands of stone. He had the worst hands I've ever seen from an NFL player (well, maybe Perry Tuttle's were worse - ).

......should have said, "his entire life".

How do you learn to say what you replied, and without calling the original poster a jack.....?

So friggin what!!!! Maybe he's a jerk, and maybe he's not.....but this certainly is no evidence of either. As a player, Phil was very, very good.

Nice, I like that. With that said, it makes way too much sense and will never happen (I guess that makes me a pessimist).

You're too polite. It was the damn defense that won those games. The 99 version of Flutie was a distant second to the 98 version. Once defenses caught up with him, it was one batted down throw after another. What many forget is that our O-Line was pretty dismal and both Fina and Hicks were pretty banged up. Fina couldn't finish the game and Hicks who missed much of the first half and came into the game injured, gutted it out in the second half when his backup was getting toasted by Kearse. Had we won that game, our O-line may have consisted of Curley, Larry, and Moe....

Hummmm... I seem to recall a playoff game against Miami (98 season) in which Ruben Brown had to practically beg Jennings to suck it up stay on the field after he got one of his infamous dings. He was a talented player who was made of glass. His heart was not on his list of positives either.

No matter what he'll still trail your bashing of Buffalo homes...

Jake long had a better year. Look at Peters sacks allowed and it took him 4/3 of the season to offer any value in the run game as well. I fact, I'd take Long over Peters, hands down. 11.5 Mil is really off base. In fact the entire NFL payscale is off base.

Denny, was clearly our best (even if this isn't saying much) DE last year. To me, Kelsay is the far greater liability, talent wise and salary wise. Schobel is now at the age where players slow down, and with him coming off the foot injury that who knows if it healed or can withstand the stress, we better get ready to get some help at DE. When Denny, who is a solid backup player, is your best DE, it's time to make some moves. We need DE help, and I'm a firm believer that Chris Ellis isn't it. He was routinely buried by the opposition in the little time he got to play last year. He needs to get a whole lot stronger of his career could (and maybe should) be a very short one.

Pace, who was once a great LT, is a broken down shell of his former self. Great career, but its time to ride off into the sunset big guy.

Site won't accept the link, but over at the "range", there's a thread about LeCharles Bentley who was said to have stated on ESPN News that the Bills are a team he'd like to play for and said recently on Sirrius Radio that he was healed and ready to go. Hummm......... Could be? Nah....not likely....yet......trying to find links.......(ESPN)

Sadly, that was the last big play, or a decent play from Hardy for the remainder of the year.
