Generally, it's "Those that can't, coach. Those that can, why tarnish your image!"

I.Bruce has been very injury-prone. Things like turf toe and hamstrings that linger for weeks. I don't know if he can be counted on. I'd rather keep Moulds.

Runyan isn't on the list at all??

If TD was still GM, that would be a good possibility. Doh!!!

AVP of TSW reports Leo Roth could be right on some of these reports. Of course, he could also be wrong.

Sounds like someone TD would've picked. He drafted a few players (McGahee for one) coming off injuries.

In my opinion, the way the NFL CBA works out could have a huge impact on the Bills. If they don't come up with a new agreement and 2007 has no salary cap, how many attractive free agents does anyone see coming to a Bills organization that hasn't been winning and been in somewhat of a disarray, when the sky's the limit on salaries?? You might still have a couple cheapo organizations, but we know the likes of Snyder, Jerry Jones, Paul Allen and the like will probably throw out the cash freely. I don't think the Bills would be able to compete.

And Bennie came to the Bills from the Bengals so they wouldn't be likely to want him back.

Didn't Ted play for him in Chicago??

Wait a minute. Why is everybody saying it's too good to be true?? JP was a middle to late 1st round pick. The Bills would be trading the 8th pick in this year's draft and a former 1st round pick (in essence two 1st round picks) to move up just 6 spots to number 2. That would be too much to give up in my opinion. So getting an additional 3rd and 4th round pick would just even it out.

Also, remember that a 3rd round pick was used on Kevin Everett last draft.

Good list. I think the Bills can get a decent replacement for Moulds from that bunch. Jurivicieus anyone??

gone?? Isn't one of the New England receivers about to be a free agent??

You sure it wasn't Steve Martin??

I want him to stay if a better cap friendly contract can be worked out. We all saw what happened when Pierce was traded away and there wasn't anybody decent to replace him at the time. Despite his diminishing skills, his knowledge of the game is a big plus to keep around. If he refuses to restructure his contract, then they have to decide if they can find a decent replacement at a lower cost.

I'll have to admit that was a tough one to get used to. Donahue is a common name and I had never heard of a Donahoe before. ALso, at the same time, the Niners here had Terry Donahue. It was hard to keep track of which one was the "-hoe"??

If people watched the games, they could see 'Tarkenton" on his jersey, on graphics, and newspapers and magazines. Yet, they would still say and write "Tarkington" Sort of like "Tarkington. I'd rather fight then switch."

If the CBA remains the same as it is now, there would be no cap for 2007. So, I interpret that to mean that teams could then sign players to contracts with small salaries this year but big money for 2007 (The NBA limits by percentage how much of a raise a player can get but I don't know if the NFL does). However, this is because it's the last year of the CBA agreement. I remember this being how it was going to be for the prior CBA but they signed an extension or something before the last year so the cap-free year never materialized. So, backloading of a contract could actually come back to hurt a team then if a new CBA was signed and the cap-free year eliminated. From what I've read, the NFL Management doesn't want to end up with a Cap-free year because then the NFLPA will try to eliminate the cap.

No, as the Bills learned when they traded away Peerless Price, don't get rid of a player like Moulds until you're sure you have a replacement. I'd only cut him if he absolutely refused to do any kind of reconstruction of his contract. Who knows, Reed could sign quickly with another team. Then what would you have, an unproven Aikens, and an undersized Parrish.

The Forty-whiners's coach, Nolan, supposedly convinced his boss that they needed more help in the front office so there's an opening there for a position like VP of football operations or something.

Well, let's wait and see what Kevin Everett does. They did use a 3rd round pick on him.

was all that we heard about all this time he spent with Wyche and how good he was doing and how little of it we saw on the field. As many of you have stated previously, it seemed to possibly be Donahoe, Mularkey and Wyche making exaggerated comments to justify getting rid of bledsoe and making JP the starter. Hopefully Jauron, Levy & Ralph recognized that and base their decisions on it. Some of the other things we have heard about JP, like his 1st preseason where they said he was mixing up calls from the Bills with those from college and/or high school still bothers me about his ability to handle the job. He also has shown getting too excited and the coaches said they needed to calm him down. Well, geez, the guy played high school and college ball. Didn't he get somewhat used to playing the game from that experience. Of course, there are only a few cool customers like a Montana and Brady. Then you have guys like Bledsoe with many years of Pro Ball and he still get sjittery back there an d looks like a rookie. Hopefully it'll all click for JP and this QB issue can be put behind.

Neavereth no longer was the public address announcer at the Stadium, right?? Who has been doing the PA??

I look at it this way. If you hire a head coach, he's expected to be responsible for everything. If he's an inexperienced head coach, like Mularkey was, it would be expected that he, or the team management, would bring in strong experienced coordinators (like LeBeau) to help him. They didn't with Clements, where MM went with someone he was familiar with, and we saw how that turned out. Mularkey's influence on th eoffense didn't help as was expected either. If the new head coach is an experienced head coach, and he had a speciality of offense or defense (defense in the case of Jauron) he can bring in a defensive coordinator and assistants that aren't veryy experienced but guys he knows he can work with. The ex-defensive coordinator in Jauron will likely dictate the defense and the underlings will just carry out his direction. The offensive coordinator selection is a little shaky for the Bills because Fairchild hasn't done it for long. You'd expect, with the head coach being defensive minded, to have a strong experienced Off. coordinator so you'd feel comfortable with him running the show on that side of the ball. Generally most teams in the NFL aren't strong on both sides of the ball due to coaching and/or players. If they were, then they're likely playoff and Super Bowl contenders. As we know, this is where Gregg Williams likely went wrong. He had these supposed great lists of coaches but he brought in an inexperienced Offensive coordinator who failed. Gray was hired as Def Coord. with no experience, but Williams had the experience there. Later Gilbride was brought in but his system and the players didn't match.
