Spiderweb

Kelly wasn't afraid of anyone....let alone a team mate....

Just contributed as well. While I didn't like the signing at first, it is beginning to make sense in a number of ways. Hopefully, they will prevail and not the self destructive nature of TO.

40 years? Maybe, but after 1966 season (early 1967), the Bills trade Lamonica for a washed up Art Powell, and QB with a blown arm (Flores) ranks much higher in my memory. All TO costs us at this point is cash. No comparison. How about trading Ron McDole, Tom Keating, or letting Pat Williams walk. I won't even get into some of our famous daft picks, but Williams wasn't our worst, just our most clostly. Nah, I would admit I don't like the signing but it is far from the worst player move the Bills have ever made.

...that and I just can't get past the car comment.

Sadly, this train has left the station. Yet, of those (LB's) still available, I would take Crowell first in a heartbeat (assuming he passes the physical, of course).

....and since you brought up the running game, it's time to get something done for Fred Jackson, contract wise.

At TO's age, he doesn't get anything more than a 1-2 years deal max. When one combines his track record, only a few "stupid" teams would have been willing to consider him. Yep, we are one of the few. Yet, from the Bills perspective, this gives Hardy a break in not being pressured to return before he's healed and ready. In fact, I'd be surprised if he isn't on the PUP to begin the season.

Frankly, the Dean is correct. How many TO threads do we need? (Ooops, I just replied in yet another...)

Well, depending where one searches, I came up with a range of 6'5" to 6'7" just moments a ago.... At 6'4", he sure does seem to be shrinking....

There's no ingenuity in stating Reed will be in consideration for no longer being a Bill. Adding a doubt doesn't change it. Reed is clearly the second best receiver on this team, and in the clutch, he's actually been our best receiver..... jeez....

TO isn't a route running WR folks.... This also isn't a WR who will go hard over the middle. He is a WR, who knows how to use his size to his advantage against CB's, but he's still the biggest POS in the league, and now I have to root for this bastage....

I don't feel that Coles would have offered all that much more, but you're right about the few more years and Coles is a very solid possession receiver who can hurt a defense from time to time as well, without being a total POS like TO.

Sure, everyone else will forget by then what a POS he is and they'lll be lining up to sign a 36 year old WR. I surely wanted Buffalo to help themselves this off season, but what is this? On second thought, didn't our Bills begin their run in the late 80's by becoming the bickerling Bills. Back then, it took young stars in the making like Kelly, Thomas, Reed, Smith, etc., to get it started. Maybe TO will be able to get it going all by himself........ Hate the signing, no matter what TO may have left in the tank. I just don't see this working. Let's just see what this board thinks of TO when he drops his usual 2 passes a game...... The more I think about it, the more I hate this signing.

That sure is one fine car.....

Say it isn't so !!!!

Hummm....here we go again. Ruben was a far greater player than you or many others are willing to give him credit for. Plus he was (and probably still is a great guy). His blowup during his last year in Buffalo was long overdue. Ruben may not have made every play, and towards the end of his time in Buffalo, he seemed to be getting beat more often by big strong tackles, but he was overall, far better than any guard we've had since. In fact, before him, we had the likes of Lacina, Crofts, Parker, etc. Ruben was a very good, if not great player.....

Wow, that's worth more than most of the Bills Fans homes?

Most would agree with you on Pat Williams. I don't recall too many folks saying, "he wanted too much" or "good riddance". Most of us we quite pissed he left and mostly because of Donohoe's stupidity and ego. Greer on the other hand had developed into an adequate CB, who because of his stature, was often taken advantage of by bigger receivers. We all like Greer, but Aneas Williams he's not....I wish him well.

This simply sucks, sucks, and more sucks....

Yeah, this is simply great news.....Now we can run and resign Tutan Reyes, or Bennie the blubber again. Dockery certainly wasn't a superstar (although paid like one), but far better than the bums we've had in recent years. Who is going to take his place? Maybe Chris Villerial is ready to make a comeback, or, oh yes....this is it....Jim Richter is trading in his wings for yet another shot.... Crap, all this means is we have yet another huge hole to fill and right now folks, the cupboard is bare,,,,,

Get serious, Wray Carlton? Jeez.....

I'll bet he liked having Henderson besides him better than Williams.....

As long as Albany exists (in the political sense), New York State is history. A great State ruined...... NY has some of the most ridiculous taxes in the nation, and yet it's always in a financial mess (even before the worldwide economic collapse). Buffalo is my old home town of 30 years, yet I can't imagine a scenario where I would willingly come back home. I miss two sisters who still live there, the people in general, the Bills and the Sabres, friends, and yet...... Buffalo and New York garnered the distain from most of this nation the old fashioned way, they earned it. How can so many local and State representatives be so lacking year after year, generation after generation and continue to get elected, is mind boggling. I will always be a Buffalonian, and proud of it, but it's a financial wreck. I have a family to care and provide for them the best I can, and Buffalo NY doesn't favor this economically.

Run him, but he needs to use more stick'em if he's going to be consitent in the passing game...

Matt, I'm sure once Fezmid see this, he'll challenge you. Most of us here had or have DirecTV. I have only fhe NFL Sunday ticker with them, and while I don't like the cost (it's tripled sice it's inception (C-Band Satellite, 1994), and HD costs another $99.00, it is a sweet offering, although simply too expensive. The NFL is the chief reason why, but DirecTV tkaes strong advantage as well. With that said, while their installers (contractors, not employees) frequently stink, DirecTV customer service is better than most companies I've dealt with. I'd at least give them a B grade.
