2020 Our Year For Sure

This I would have done. We should be trying to win a Superbowl either this year or next year, and Gonzalez could have had such a huge impact in helping us do that. Too bad Russ didn't pull the trigger.

What in the world makes you think that Tony Gonzalez would complain if he didn't get the ball? Has he ever shown the slightest inkling of being that kind of player?

I'll agree with that. I've always found March Madness to be so thoroughly and completely overrated.

You're kidding, right? Anything more than a 6th rounder should legally be considered theft. The guy was rated as a 3rd rounder by a lot of people coming out of college, has accomplished nothing since being drafted, didn't even dress opening day, has hardly been able to find playing time this year on a team that stresses DL rotation as much as anyone else in the league, and has done absolutely nothing with what snaps he has been given. Now I understand why they were willing to go so thin at DT for the moment. They STOLE a 4th rounder from Polian here. Kudos, Brandon/Jauron.

Did anybody else notice who it was that ranked us so high?

If we do, I expect you to either leave this board in shame, or eat your crow like a man.

Amen.

That video can be found here (scroll down, click the Sports Video tab, click 'Bills front office busy during bye week'). Sort of wierd wording they used there: "Our sources say the team is interested, and willing to give up the draft picks that it would take to upgrade the offense." Does that mean KC has given the Bills a minimum that they find acceptable, and that the Bills have already decided they're willing to meet that minimum? It could be that KC is just winding down the clock on the trade deadline, in case someone decides they want to outbid us. Pure speculation of course, but this is getting interesting.

Twelve isn't such a bad number for Bills fans.

I'd go as high as a 2nd and a 5th. Gonzo is THAT good.

I think its safe to assume Seattle fears us.

Perhaps better than TSW, yes. By "we," I meant the Bills.

73.4% of porcelain dolls hope you're wrong.

Sort of a liberal interpretation of the meaning of the word "stat." I'm in full agreement. The Bills look like a team that will win a good 11 games, and none of these other teams seem like they're ready to go above .500. Lets stay healthy and play hard, and this division is ours.

To add to that, this is reminiscent of when posters kept saying we should swap Tim Anderson for this guy or that guy. Busted draft picks, even if they're up there in the draft, just don't have much value. Other teams can see almost as well as we can how little he's accomplished since the draft. If you want to deal John McCargo, you'll be lucky to net a 6th rounder. I'm not saying there's no chance McCargo turns things around, only that nobody is giving up anything of value for the slight chance that he does.

John McCargo does not have trade value. I'll be surprised if he makes the team next year.

With the title of the thread changed, I have no problem posting Rose McGowan, Rachel Weisz, Amy Smart or Famke Janssen.

She's extraordinarily average.

Its not like he came out and released a statement out of nowhere. He was simply asked a question, and he answered it.

Take out the Patsterisks for us!

He is deleted from the roster and the depth chart, but I don't see what your talking about on his Wikipedia page.

How is our quarterback situation any less stable than Philly's? If you're getting at Edwards seemingly being prone to injury, than the Eagles' QB situation has to be considered 'unstable' as well. If you're not getting at Edwards being injury prone...what are you getting at? Everybody knows who the starting quarterback of this team is.

Subtitle of the thread is a bit misleading. The Sirius guys alledgedly reported that KC has a trade pending with SOMEONE, and that the price is believed to be a 3rd rounder. The speculation about that someone being Buffalo wasn't part of the news report, but it was the commentators' spin on it, as Buffalo and KC are both on bye weeks.

I said they could trade him in the offseason, just as an example to show that they don't HAVE to trade him. They could trade him now, they could trade him in the offseason, they could trade him next offseason, or they could never trade him. I don't care how committed you are to "rebuilding," there's nothing wrong with holding on to your best player. This isn't a 'trade him for whatever we can get while we can still get it' type of situation. They probably have a minimum that they're willing to take, and if they don't get it, they'll be perfectly fine with keeping one of the league's elite tight ends on their roster. Reports are that this situation wasn't even prompted by the Chiefs, but by Gonzalez himself inquiring about the possibility. So as a show of good faith, and maybe as a tip of the cap to the good years he's given them, they told him they'd listen to offers. This isn't even the Chiefs idea, so you know they aren't desperate to get something done. They weren't even thinking about it until Gonzalez brought it up. If a deal gets done, its going to be on their terms.
