  1. Think that's a lot? Look at Reed's numbers.
  2. When TD arrived, he inherited what most of us would agree is a mess. I, and most of us, seemed willing to cut him some slack on his three-year plan to get us back on track. In the first couple of years, he dealt with the salary cap problem and with Gregggg's coaching we were poised to make some noise in year 3. For many reasons that didn't happen, and another failed coaching attempt later we're back essentially where we started. We don't have the huge salary cap burden that we did when TD started, but the team as a whole has a lot of problems that need to be addressed. Marv's not starting with a blank slate, but this lump of clay needs a lot of shaping before it can get back to being a solid contender. Yet there seems to be a tremendous amount of impatience this time. Sure, it's now been that many more years since we've been in the playoffs, but don't Marv (and Dick) deserve the same chance we gave TD (and Gregggg) when they arrived? It seems to me a number of the moves made so far this offseason were made with the next few years in mind, rather than a quick expensive fix. If we give a draft class a few years before we determine if they worked out, doesn't Marv deserve the same?
  3. How about an option for "No Longer the Buffalo Bills Quarterback".
  4. I was enjoying that interview until I read this: Oh, come on now.
  5. You beat me to it. I can't stand hearing from the guy. Why does he have an agent anyway?
  6. Forget it, man. Just leave the cash and get out while you can.
  7. Who would need to stay up? That's early here.
  8. Why would the Rams want to do that?
  9. I admit to knowing practically nothing about the guy, but it seems like a fairly solid signing. The guy has plenty of experience at center, and he's started quite a few games. Plus, he's fairly young, so he'll have room to grow into the position. I certainly would have preferred a name like Bentley, Mawae, or Flanigan, but Fowler sounds like a good player with many years ahead of him.
  10. Here's my prediction... Moulds to Chicago for a 4th round pick plus they agree not to match on the "I" guy. It just makes sense on so many levels.
  11. Sorry, we ain't getting a 1st round pick for an 11 year vet. 2nd? Doubtful, but you never know.
  12. Just remove the extra http from the address.
  13. This whole ordeal has reminded me how much I detest the offseason merely for having to listen to agents (and personal advisors, apparently) spew this ridiculous crap.
  14. She was performing community service...right before the brawl broke out.
  15. We are completely fine at WR. Please no more WR. Just focus on the O-line (and get Pickett) and we'll be okay.
  16. Should call them the Holy B Trinity - Brady, Bruschi, and Belichick
  17. Almost makes you wonder if Snyder has some diabolical plan to overspend the small market teams right out of the league.
  18. I know quite a few, too, oddly enough. One of the local TV stations ran this story recently about the show, and it's pretty interesting. I think the Mormon church is a bit edgy because of it. I watched it for a few minutes just to see some shots of Salt Lake City, although I thought the main character was not supposed to be Mormon. In any case, I turned it off after about 5 or 10 minutes. Didn't do anything for me. And no, I don't know any wise guys here. Not that that means anything.
  19. The important question is, if QBs fall like crazy, who below us in the draft needs a QB? And are they willing to trade up for our spot?
  20. By far, it's Moosewood Cooks At Home. You can check it out here. Healthy food that is really awesome. Wife and I really can't find any recipes from this that aren't great. Best part is that many/most of the recipes are for smaller amounts (2-4 servings). If you're really looking for a constant source of great recipes I urge you to try Cooking Light magazine. It's amazing how many recipes we have tried from there, and I can't remember coming across one that didn't taste awesome. And health is a primary concern for them, so you always have the fat, protein, and carb contents of each one. Best part is, once you've used their recipes for a little while, you'll notice that your cupboard has a lot of the needed ingredients already.
  21. "Easy, Breezy, Beautiful Rubes." Hmm.
  22. That was really interesting and useful. Thanks.
  23. The Bills really aren't going to comment about Moulds anymore at this point, since they are well under the cap and can afford to keep him. Whether they do or not, we'll have to wait to find out. But I'm not holding my breath. My guess is that we'll have to see what happens in free agency. We have a lot of holes to fill and there are some pretty good names out there to fill them. But as has been said here before, now almost everybody has money to spend and we could see some interesting bidding wars. I think it will come down to how many of those free agents we want and think we can get. We're probably looking seriously at DT, OT, WR, and S to bring in, and while it's unlikely that we nab one of each, we may have a chance to bring in two or three. If we can bring in a couple of the bigger names, and they're ready to sign, we may see Moulds jettisoned at that time to ensure the space for it. As far as I can tell, there's no real penalty for releasing him later, unless I'm wrong. If we end up keeping Moulds, my guess is that it will be for one of two reasons: we pick up some decent, but not top-tier, free agents for a reasonable price, or we just aren't able to attract enough and we have money left over.
  24. Well, so far all I've been able to gather from you is that you have an inability to sit still. Although the name can be confusing, this of course does not constitute restless leg syndrome. As alluded to in one of your posts and in the link I gave (although it's not always very clear), RLS is more than just an "urge to move the legs" like someone sitting in a chair with their knee bouncing around. The urge to move the legs is in response to completely unpleasant sensation throughout the legs, whether its paresthesias or dysesthesias, and often it's the only way to relieve the sensations. It's also almost always worse at night when lying down, such that people with RLS have a horrible time sleeping, and their daytime activities become intolerable due to exhaustion. Older folks can be tortured by this. As for you, I don't know. If you just can't sit still, then that's something different. If you can't sit still because you need to move your legs to relieve some uncomfortable sensation in your legs, and it's worse at night, and you're losing sleep because of it, then I'd consider it.
