.......the life of a Bills fan.

I thought it was interesting that Moats at ILB is calling the plays for defense on the second stringers because he is familiar with the playbook. Batten is looking good out there at OLB as well. Hope Sheppard gets in there soon.

Early reports are that Shawne Merriman has been tearing it up for 3 consecutive practices. Fred Jackson's comment was, "He's back". Wannstache says he's doing everything that everyone else on the team is doing. You can read more here. A big thumbs up to Merriman. Things are shaping up for our defense and right now the loudest noise is being made by this former 3 time Probowl OLB. That is all......Lights Out.

I heard Hangartner held his own against Jasper. I'd like to see Urbik go toe to toe with him. Urbik has not been doing too good so far. I'm beginning to think that Hangartner should replace Urbik for the starters. Or put Jasper on the OL?........naw. I like seeing Jasper on defense. But I'm keeping an eye on Urbik he is getting blown up by Dareus and getting yelled at for screwing up position drills.

Sorry, I don't see the Dolphins getting to 6 wins let alone 8. They look terrible. We will sweep them. I also think NE is on the decline and that they don't win the division.

Adding a good TE really supports the offensive line. He can not only be used to block on running but also passing plays which covers up weaknesses on the line. Honestly, I think a good TE does more to improve an offense than a right tackle. Because of the tight end's versatility, he also helps to disguise plays. Don't say Chan doesn't use TE's. That argument is just bunk. We were so short on the position that we took a flyer on Chandler late in the season. This a definite area of weakness for this team. If Boss comes with a reasonable price tag we should be all over that.

Awsome news. Another hole filled.

Not saying that he wouldn't be a good pickup, but he may not be productive until next year.

Surgery on both knees at the end of last season is what's worrisome. And Barnett has had some injury problems too. Would be just like Buffalo to take a gamble on them. Think Merriman.

All that armor you're wearing must be what's got your panties in a bunch.

Barnett's visit to Detroit was cancelled and he is still talking to Buffalo. I think he found himself a new home. However, the Seahawks asked Lofa Tatupu to take a pay cut and he has asked to be released. He is a 3 time probowler but played through knee problems last year and had surgery on both knees at the end of the season. Here's the link. We could possibly add both linebackers and have some serious firepower at that position if they are healthy enough to play.

Here's why not. Linky Surgery on both knees at the end of last season. Although looking into it would be prudent. He's been to multiple pro bowls.

Kinda different going to camp instead of OBD. Did he want to speak with coaches first before going to Buffalo to sign? Did he go there for a physical?

You forgot to mention that Merriman is still upright. You could be right about Levi. I'm not sure what to think about all of the gadget type QBs, though. Kinda scares me.

Apparently he grew a beard. Am I the only one who finds this funny? Linky Wish I had an actual pic.

Warren is visiting the Broncos tonite.

yea, and I think he was lobbying for a job here too.

Lions must really be hard up.

Looks can be deceiving.

Actually, Kyle Williams had more sacks than Moats.

Chandler is 6'8" 272lbs. Almost left tackle size. I'd say that's a pretty big blocker.

I grew up in western NY around Lockport/Newfane. There are tons of beautiful places around Buffalo. I really like the feel of the city itself with it's great pubs, deli's and mom & pop establishments. Never lived right in the city but I can tell you that there are a lot of places all over western NY and within a short drive of Buffalo. I like the country more than the city myself for living, but Buffalo definitely has character. Good luck with your search.

This is exactly what will happen especially with the loss of Poz. He is going to be under the gun to produce early. I am not very happy with Poz right now.

Miami Herald is reporting that he is now a Dolphag.

All ready being discussed in another thread.
