After we make the playoffs, we have to many other holes. Do you notice that the 20-25 range is a nice place to pick up a quality TE?

I think the plan is to dismantle the plan we had and start another plan. I'm sure there's been a lot of meetings to plan the new plan, and I'm sure after we pull four starters out of this years draft the plan will be planned.

At this point before the draft, I don't think anything can be believed. I'm with you regarding trading up for Oher, but since I haven't seen much logic I agree with this offseason, I'm cringing at this point.

Just playing off your sig dude, that's all.

oh wait,

Well that's great. I've been in Pittsburgh almost 30 years and a fan close to 40. While I did enjoy the 92? playoff game where Reich came in and beat them, the victories have been few and far between. And I've had to put up with the rest of the winning that has gone here on while lately my team is lucky to stay in the game with a good team. Quite frankly, I'm tired of OBD not caring about winning.

Not really, or are some "inside sources" clueing you in to what type of fan I am? It's funny, because here in Pittsburgh, I've been hearing the same thing about the Pirates for the last 12 years or so. Always waiting for that perfect alignment of young, super talented players that you don't have to pay a lot of money to. They haven't seen .500 for 16 years.

Our clubhouse is going to be a wonderful place to be this year. A lame duck coach, TO, anyone on the trading block....top 5 pick in 2010 here we come.

Funny and disheartening all at the same time. Nice

There's a 90 year old skid mark on this team....

Yes, yes you are so right! I can't believe that the Eagles would consider him valuable enough to trade for, and then to pay. In fact, I don't understand why we let Dockery go since he did such a fine job on that play! You'd of thought we would have just cut JP and kept Dock.

Attitudes turn ALL the time when a player feels he is fairly compensated - look at Lance Briggs last year. The "I'm pissed" stuff is part of the dance, that's all. Seems to me that Ralph was done handing out big contracts this year and told Brandon to get what he could for JP.

ummmm, I guess I forgot something: /sarcasm!

Maybe we can trade our 3rd and Philly's third back to them in order to jump to 21? How does that work on the ol' draft value chart?

What huge need? We have Walker, he'll step right in! Chambers to RT McKinney at LG. I'm looking for a 4th round interior OL, that will be fine. Let's go get a WR and TE in the first so Trent will have plenty of weapons. Actually, I think Moreno and Pettigrew will be the best draft! That way we can trade Freddie too! And then in the second we can take a DB that has "great value"!

I'm sure he went from special teams player to Pro bowl left tackle without even trying.

I think it's pretty ironic/funny that the Bills actually have the receivers to fit JPL's "game". Wonder what he thinks of the TO signing.... And no, I'm not suggesting we resign JPL. While JPL would be more effective, we would need to run more than slants and deep routes to make the playoffs.

FYI - from Dec 2008 http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/story/535915.html

I think it's pretty simple - trade JP and you're not serious about winning this year. You can't flush the left side of your oline and expect to win. I'm sure if you want to run a franchise that way, you can, and I guess the odds are the Bills will trade him are good given our last 9 years.... I'm okay with JP holding out again, last year was a new offense and he seemed to have trouble with the protection schemes. This year he will have some experience so it shouldn't be so bad. If they have to "Walter Jones" him, then so be it. Can we get JP to hire Rosenhaus? Trading JP is the equivelent of a move the Pittsburgh Pirates would make - the team that hasn't had a winning season in like 16 years. The same people that are saying screw JP, please don't B word when we miss the playoffs.

You'd think he would update his blog - what else can he be doing?

But Cook would, it's in his clients interest.

I guess re-signing him is a possibility, but I'm hoping to retire the no-yac attack sooner rather than later. Around week 6-8 of the 2009 season (when Hardy is activated) would be good.

Please read this article for more info as to why the door is still open. Not saying that he'll sign, but just why it's still a possibility. http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/story/535915.html

Hardy can have 82 back after Reed is traded/released. See wasn't that easy? No problem!

I don't understand how he can shake off the upside of averaging a touchdown a game more as not a great positive. Based on last years numbers it takes us from 23rd to 2nd in scoring offense. That's a pretty big upside, the kind that gives you a chance to WIN a playoff game.
