Are you kidding me? I would be ecstatic if we somehow were positioned to win against the Pats in the final seconds. As it looks now, I expect if we're kicking a FG to end the game it would be just to avoid being shutout. Don't forget, this guy Carpenter was actually in the Pro Bowl a few years ago. He can't be completely crappy.

Thanks for that input, really insightful. And how many starting positions is this mad scramble filling? Meanwhile, teams other than the Bills also shuffle people on and off their rosters in the days before the first game. Why, the Boston Globe itself is reporting: Could it be that, in fact, most teams actually do the same thing with the final few spots on their rosters just before the season starts?

What's with rich people hating vaccines? Yeah, what's with that, anyway?

This is just un- ing-believable. Why? Why do I have to be born into liking this team?

It's really amazing how complicated the position is, and like BB said it's easy to see why/how so many fail to become a solid startig QB, much less an elite QB. I can't even imagine trying to process so much information so quickly, with so much enormous, physically insane humanity coming at me with the one purpose of causing me severe bodily harm. No wonder so many QBs get happy feet.

Jets sign Quinn, release Harrell Damn, and I was really looking forward to Quinn as our #3. Maybe we could sign Harrell instead? Or maybe McElroy? Same thing, right? /sarc

Good stuff, thanks for the link.

*Sigh*

Any time you're cut from a team, there's the chance that could be the last time you get to suit up for someone. Especially for someone with a number of years in this league already. I see no issue with acknowledging that.

That's an odd interpretation of that tweet, to say the least.

Mike Rodak ‏@mikerodak Doug Marrone said that Doug Legursky is not a candidate for IR-designated to return. Team thinks he could be back sooner than those 8 weeks Patrick Moran ‏@PatrickMoranBSD Well there you go. Doug Legursky's injury Thursday wasn't nearly as bad as it seemed. I.R. Not in plans for him. #Bills Jay Skurski ‏@JaySkurski Doug Marrone says guard Doug Legursky is not a candidate for the IR-designated to return list, indicating they expect him back sooner #Bills ...and also: Buffalo Rumblings ‏@BuffRumblings EJ Manuel practiced on a limited basis Sunday, and plans to be full-go Monday. #Bills Week 1 QB named Wednesday. http://sbn.to/14bHbPA

Had a feeling we'd be signing guys we've never heard of...

FYI, Chris White was cut by the Lions. So, the whole Lewis-White trade evened out. In other news, David Carr is available.

I'm pretty sure we'll end up signing at least two guys we've never heard of.

Damn, I'd take back Winfield in a heartbeat. I still have his jersey! For the record, I'd also take Florence back, at least for the short term. He's not great, but he's better than what we got.

Any news of the contract terms?

Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Certainly seems like they kept a few people around with the expectation that they'd be picking someone else up. We need a backup guard and another CB pretty badly.

I'm sure Brad won't be too upset about that. I could certainly be making this up, but his body language throughout the preseason basically said he wasn't very interested.

Wow. Guy couldn't even get out of training camp.

Good for him.

Personally, I think we should rename this thread the "Dumpster Diving" thread.

I don't see how anyone could be okay with TJ Heath on this roster, but what do I know.

That's a good one, I like it. Might be too buried to follow, though.

If they end up keeping Heath and cutting Butler, I will have some serious doubts about this staff.
