Jeesh!! Don't go giving the media something to dredge up...

Darby started of bad last year too.

Good stuff....thanks!!

NE has chinks in their armor. They aren't some untakeable fortress. They have Brady and Gronk. Everyone else is just meh. Yea, they goin' down. Might not even take 2nd in the division this year.

This is going to be a key improvement area this season. The offense could actually be much better than last year.

Next up is Gilmore. Taylor will happen soon enough.

Too accepting? That's ridiculous. What do you prefer? That we all go to the stadium and boo them until they leave?

This what I thought too

This^^

Why not? Big fat signing bonus but the big salary cap hit doesn't have to hit until next year. This is true. Some do have a "sophomore" slump. Could happen, but I am not seeing it. The whole secondary I think feed off of each other. I think they were communicating much better toward the end of last season. I'd really hate to see them broken up just when they started getting good as a unit. Regardless of whether you think Gilmore is top 10 or not, he is definitely a key piece in a very good secondary.

I see no reason why the Bills can't get contracts done with both Gilmore and Taylor. Gilmore's cap hit this year is 11 million. By signing him with guaranteed money this year would likely save a large portion of that 11 million. Money that can be used to get Taylor signed as well. All they have to do is give Gilmore the vet minimum this year along with a signing bonus of guaranteed money. The remainder of his contract will pay a bigger salary but this year, the Bills save on money that counts against the cap. Taylor could also be signed to a new contract before the season is over, some of which will come from the money the Bills save by only paying Gilmore the vet minimum for this year.

Very good explanations on these plays. Job well done!!

Well, there you have it. Right from the horses mouth.

Football isn't my 1st love either. Way too much on crap flying around and with no real proof to back up allegations. Goodwin had a chance to represent the entire country. That would be a huge honor. That still doesn't take away from his desire to play for the Bills. People seriously need to lighten up. Really gets on my nerves when folks act like everything is in black & white. The real truth often isn't so easy to pin down.

I have a hunch that Chan Gailey will get some production out of Geno. He was named starter last year ahead of Fitz and Gailey is very familiar with Fitz. Gailey has a history of making nobody QBs into decent starters.

That's ridiculous. Becoming an Olympian and possibly winning the Gold is far from a hobby. It's a dream. He's pitting himself against the best the entire world has to offer. That is not something you can just give up on.

He's an Olympian. That is a life long dream that many will never achieve. You don't just throw away a dream like that. Not only that, his wife is an Olympian. He definitely has his priorities strait. Not so sure about some of the posters on this board though. Just don't get the negativity. It's sad to see.

What about Roman? Head coach material?

Read that article and thought good lord these media guys are like vultures circling. McCoy doesn't have to say anything. The media is going to blow a bunch of smoke up everyone's arses either way. I say screw 'em.

Rex will just have all the Dlinemen show blitz but then drop them all into coverage.....

Welcome back Seantrel!! Would be awesome if he comes back and plays at the level everyone thought he could.

I love it. If I were on the team right now I would be on a mission to make the media and the negative ninnies eat their words.

Hit the nail on the head. I grew up on sports....a lot of them, and there is no room for negativity in the game. It's all about believing. You set a goal. You go after it. You imagine yourself doing what you could never do before and work toward that end. Negativity in sports is a cancer that grows and destroys your resolve. Sorry, but I never would have broken our H.S. track team's 400 hurdles record at 54.6 seconds or run a mile in less than 4mins 30secs if I did anything other than believe. This is true of any sport. Gotta have that mindset. Trash talkers love to harp on what you can't do, until you actually do it. Wouldn't have it any other way though. That's the whole reason I love the game. The challenge drove me. As a fan, it inspires me. Even now at age 52, I still love a challenge. Don't have the speed I used to but I toss a mean horseshoe.

Sorry to hear that, Astrobot. But I am not so sure the media was doing their job in the first place. Those guys have been marketing themselves with over-the-top commentary for years. Free speech hasn't been taken away from them since the Bill's(a privately owned organization) does not have to release any news at all. Of course they won't help their own marketing that much if no one can report on them. I see this as a short term trial, anyway. The media though, has a responsibility to report the news accurately but instead use their power to prop themselves up. We want the news, but we don't really need their often inaccurate opinions and their need to drum up blog hits.
