So far best part about the game, no interceptions! Go Fitz!

If we are holding back, at least the jests won't have much tape to go on

No way they are giving 100%, but they shouldn't look this bad.

Doom isn't the right word. "lost" seems more fitting. I love sheppard, but I worry that he isn't ready yet

Linebacker looks like a bigger need than reciever right now

Pretty much my feelings. Hoping it all comes together September 9th

Thank you for proving nothing. That would be like comparing Aaron rodgers' first three years and mark sanchez's first 3, while Aaron sat behind favre. If you want to use stats, use them right Hahaha. Funny thing is, fraizer, current vikings hc, was wanted by bills fans over Chan gailey

I wouldn't use a high pick. Guy has talent, but has too many health issues and he is an odd duck in general.

Who here used the words "not" and "whatever" to describe their feelings of re-signing any of these guys? I know I have a few people on ignore, but I think I read all the posts in this this thread and font see where you are seeing people say that stuff. And I don't see the difference in signing a player now, or October, or November, or in January. Can you please break down why it is so different? Why would it be different if we signed them now instead of say January? Better yet, how would things be better if we signed Stevie in December instead of when we did? Would he be a better player or love the team more just because he signed a few months early? Because I really think that Stevie would still be the same player and still be a bill if he signed with us a month earlier, but maybe I'm crazy

When I clicked on this thread I was expecting an espn video of Chan ranting. I am disappointed

Why are you talking about Easley in what is clearly a Wes Welker thread?

I think there is a misunderstanding. No one said to wait until free agency starts to re-sign players. People were saying there was no rush to sign these players RIGHT now like the OP suggests. It doesn't matter if they sign them now, October, November, December, or whatever. But saying that this needs to be done right away is just not true. There is no rush. If this was February then ya, put a rush on it.

I believe they have already have done some soft talking with levitre's agent

This isn't at all common in the nfl. It took the saints drew brees' AFTER his contract expired to re-sign him. Look at all the players that got a franchise tag last year. Teams don't re-sign player this early as often as you are making it out to be. And as great as byrd and levitre are, calling them leaders is a bit of exageration. Especially on levitre. I wouldn't call either of them leaders. Kyle Williams, George Wilson, Fitz, and freddy, THOSE are leaders. Hence why freddy got extended (plus he outperformed his contract). I'm sorry. I just don't see the "risk" of losing one of them of we don't sign them right now. Would it be that bad to sign them in late season? Hell, if all else fails, we can franchise one of them. This risk is so minimal

I think if byrd has a huge year, the worst thing that happens we franchise tag him. But I think this front office is able to resign players and only use the tag as leverage

Well, not exactly. Although these games aren't competitive, there is competition going on. A lot of These players are fighting to be on the team, or fighting for a starting position. So you can draw conclusions on players with limited film tape whether or not Glenn should be starter is a lot more sensible than saying the team is off to a bad start of the season, before the season starts. Pre season is about the individual battles, not how the team performs as a whole in a preseason game. Sin short, it matters what Glenn looks like in preseason because he is fighting for a starting job. It matters what Mario looks like in preseason because he is coming off a season ending injury. It does not matter that the bills decided to throw the ball 14 times and not run it once, which resulted in no tds. That isn't what these games are meant for.

They are not going to be paid top 5 money. Maybe top ten. Although they are good, they are just not top 5 at this point

I didn't know the season started yet. But in all seriousness, if these preseason games are any indicator, the nfl really needs to get the refs back. These replacements will ruin the season for sure

A little off topic, but when are the first round of cuts being made?

I hear the pats* need another old receiver.

Then gailey backed up Stevie that the whole team should feel that way. I am not seeing how this is a bad thing with the exception that all this talk needs to be proven on the field

How can you misinterpret something like that?

Pretty much

How can you not remember that? There must have been a few dozen threads on the subject last year. And a few dozen more when we didn't make a play for him Come to think of it, I was one of the people that wanted him.

As much as we need better recievers, I don't think plax would be an upgrade for us. It is odd that they are looking at him. They seem pretty stacked at the position.
