Albany,n.y.

Because you'll screw up the salary cap so badly you'll have no $ left to re-sign Evans, make Peters happy, extend other young players, and be able to afford your top rookies without releasing some players. Not to mention that you're not letting the team grow together with Edwards. This team can make the playoffs this year and the Super Bowl next year without Favre. Why bring him in and risk him playing this year, while the team may need one more free agent & draft class to reach the top, then pull the same crap he's done in Green Bay & "retire" again? Plus, do you really think GB is going to release him with no strings? It's not going to happen-they'll want compensation-further weakening the Bills long term goals. I agree-Just say no!

Thanks for clarifying.

About the only good thing I can think of in bringing Favre in is that JP would be gone within 24 hours.

What does this mean? The Broncos won 2 Super Bowls in Elway's last two seasons, then Elway announced his retirement because he said his body couldn't take another season. Are you saying the Broncos pressured Elway, who by his own admission couldn't handle another season? Or are you saying that they were pressuring him before those 2 Super Bowl championship seasons and by not listening to them Elway proved them wrong? Please elaborate and show some factual data to back up the statement.

Like they screwed up the entire team & salary cap structure, that's how I'd feel. If Favre comes back this year, I guarantee Edwards will have a better season.

Yesterday when I got home, I had both my season tickets and my tax rebate check from the feds. It will be tough for the USPS to top that.

Doug Johnson-the QB whose name satisfied all during the QB controversy of the late 90s.

Hey, if a kid smells, the kid smells. Nothing racist about it, and if the kids nickname him "Stinky" maybe the parents should be called in to learn not to drop a smelly kid off at school. Now if your culture encourages hygene that makes the kid smell, then conform to the norm or home school the kid. There's no reason for classmates to have to put up with a smelly kid and have to remain silent.

Just goes to show you that no matter who you support, you can say "He will say anything to get himself elected." about the other guy. One of these days the people who think that honest people are running for President will realize that in order to get the nomination of either party, you have to run far from center, then shift towards the center to win the election. They all lie, flip-flop and say anything they think will get them elected. By the way, where did H.Clinton & McCain go in their efforts to get the gas tax holiday? It is now obvious that neither was serious about it, just campaign nonsense.

Just think of the benefit of pulling over a driver like that-all because of the cell phone law. The police pull him over, next thing he's being deported -works for me.

Why should Ralph sell the team when he is old enough to know there are no guarantees in life? Ralph could sell the team to someone 30-40 years younger than him and make some people happy, yet the new owner may die before Ralph. (How many of the Wilson death watch squad had Tim Russert going before Ralph?) The only way to set up the long term stability of the team is to sell to a group that 1)Is big enough to withstand multiple deaths of its members without causing the group's corporate demise 2)Is structured in a way that the team can't be sold within a few years to out of town buyers 3) Is willing to sign an iron clad long term lease in Orchard Park or build their own stadium with things written in that prohibit the team from moving. A lot easier said than done.

I consider being called a hack by a mindless clown like you a compliment.

That's fine if you want to write off his rookie year, but what was his excuse last year?

The only reply I can come up with after reading your post is you write similar to the way JP plays QB. On another note PFW did a video on their site in line with the article. Their top 5 busts, in order, the past 5 years are 1) Charles Rogers 2)Cedrick Benson 3)Jonathan Sullivan 4) Michael Haynes 5) Pacman Jones.

Yet, every period of time that a different QB than Losman (be it Bledsoe, Holcomb or Edwards-the 3 QBs who have started during JP's years here) starts, the BILLS have a better TEAM than the Bills. Just look at the W-L records with the same TEAM.

Eli Manning has always been better than JP. I don't have my head burried in a stat book. I've seen them play numerous times each and there is no comparison. Eli has always been winning games at a much higher rate than 1 of every 3 starts that JP has done. Eli has led his team to the playoffs multiple times, Eli has played hurt after being declared out for a month by most. Eli was doing well in 2006 before he lost his LT & go to receiver (it was Toomer not Plaxico) and the team went downhill in the 2nd half with those & defensive injuries and Eli took the heat. Now I may be one of Eli's biggest defenders on this board for years, but all you people who believe JP was ever better than Eli are not watching them both play-get your heads out of the stat books & actually watch these guys on the field-One is a consistent winner who is light years ahead of the other. In case you're still burried in the stat book, Eli, Super Bowl Champion is the one who is light years ahead of JP-always has been, always will be. JP is a bust, keep hoping & dreaming and when he wins the Arenaball championship you can say he's turned the corner.

That's because the guy who drafted him, was run out of town on a rail and wasn't involved in the last 3 drafts. He had 2 bad drafts out of 2 within the timeframe the article covered. He followed up the disasterous 2004 draft, where only Lee Evans worked out with his equally disasterous 2005 draft which left us with only Roscoe Parrish and (hanging on by a thread) Duke Preston.

JP has been here 4 years, he is not being judged off of only last season. In his 2nd year he was handed the job & benched-the JP apologists (including myself at the time) blamed Mularkey. In year 3 he was mediocre most of the season, including the end and because he had a few good games against weak teams that inflated his stats he was hailed by the JP fans as "getting it". In year 4 he was horrible from day 1 of camp through his injury in game 3, had a good game against possibly the worst defense in the league & then reverted to form & got benched & the JP apologists blamed the OC. In 4 years he's "lead" the team to wins in about only 1/3 of his starts and the JP apologists always find a reason other than JP is a bust. How was improving the receiving corps a "priority" for Edwards? The Bills didn't sign any name veteran free agent WR. The team drafted a WRs in the 2nd & 7th rounds-hardly what I call a priority. Now look at what they did at DT -traded for a high priced DT & signed another early in free agency-that's recognizing and acting on a position as a priority. In JP's 1st 2 years the Bills' top pick was a WR. Your final apology for JP is that he came out of the draft as a project. Come on now, no team drafts a QB in the 1st round who is as big a project as JP has turned out to be. If the player is truly thought of as a project, he doesn't get picked in the first or even 2nd round. The Bills didn't view him as the project you do, otherwise they wouldn't have traded up to get him.

Then go out and buy this week's issue. I subscribe & get in in an Adobe file to read, I couldn't find the article on the free part of their website, hence no link. The article has a bust for each team, pretty good stuff.

The latest edition of Pro Football Weekly is out & among the stories is "Major Misses A team--by- team breakdown of the NFL's biggest busts of the past five seasons" Here's what they said: "J.P. Losman QB/Buffalo Bills First Round (22nd overall) 2004 Blessed with all the physical tools desired in a quarterback, Losman has failed to put it all together during his four years in Buffalo. A combination of inaccuracy, ambivalence in the pocket and overall mismanagement of the offense contributed to his inability to get the Bills back to the playoffs even once during his undistinguished tenure as a starter. When he went down with a sprained left knee in Week Three last season and rookie Trent Edwards showed considerable promise, it signaled the unofficial end to Losman's career in Buffalo."

I would think in order to qualify, she'd have to be alive, otherwise it's necrophilia.

Two thoughts on this thread. Bloomberg won't be the VP nominee because he quit the party. Thompson won't be VP nominee because the ticket would be nicknamed "Grumpy Old Men"

No, he's not a Republican, and I'm shocked it took this long for it to be posted. Years ago Bloomberg was a Democrat. He became a Republican because it was an easier path to the Mayor's office. After he was re-elected he began to consider a Presidential run as an independent and quit the Republican party. So he's a former Democrat, a former Republican & currently an independent. http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200706u/third-parties

Have you ever hit anything with a car? I've hit small animals & known it, I'm sure anyone who hits a person knows they hit something. Here's a test to prove my point-go at a very slow speed, have a friend take the palm of his hand and slap the trunk in a downward motion a couple of times. (In my running days I used to slap cars that cut me off and believe me, the driver knew someone was in contact with the car.) After that, come back and admit that the driver had to know he hit something.

I'd like a transcript of the 2002 war room, I'd guess it went something like this: TD: "Damn, Detroit took Harrington, he's gonna be a great one. Hey I've got an idea, since we can't draft Harrington, lets get the fattest, laziest offensive tackle, I don't care that he hates playing football and he's a lousy driver, Gregg and Ronnie will whip his @ss & mind into shape." With the 4th pick in the 2002 draft, Buffalo selects Mike Williams OT, Texas.
