  1. Can't expect them to know every piece of bills news, but this was a big story from awhile ago. And then several other stories followed it with the new hires, players views, changing to a 4-3, Edwards going to the phins, etc. You would really have to miss a couple weeks of bills news to not know Edwards was fired. It is way worse than the kids here that think Fred Jackson is about to hit fa and we should franchise him.
  2. I don't get why people rag on the bills for not getting into bidding wars with other teams. Bidding wars aren't all that common in the nfl. Unless you count things like the bills making a play for clabo as a 'bidding war." Half the time teams makes offers not even realizing another team already made an offer. Any "bidding war" is usually a smokescreen done by an agent.
  3. As long as they are aggressive they will have at least one or two good signings.
  4. I wouldn't bet against that theory.
  5. a little off topic, but anyone look at the comments? The "Skooby lives, shout out to 2BD" hahaha. spiller did well, but he didn't outplay jackson in any phase of the game. Jackson is a WAY better blocker, he has more on field awareness, and he is better after the catch. the only thing he lacks is CJ's explosive speed. Jackson is a far more complete back and was a huge reason why we won the games early on.
  6. he isn't going to cost as much as people think. the Raiders are going to have to pay him $5 million this year on top of whatever his new team pays him. It is expected that will drive his price way down. hahahahahahaa.
  7. That article suggest nothing worthy of attention. Of course spiller wants to start, but if he doesn't, there is nothing he can do about it except take an early retirement, hold out, demand a trade, and things like that.... all things I cannot see happening. at all. Spiller seems too softspoken to take all his anger out like a spoiled kid. The worst case scenario, he gets pissed, holds in his anger, and when his contract ends, and he takes off to another team.
  8. People are still going to speculate that we are going to trade or not extend Fred. People are ridiculous.
  9. Tried typing "love" and made a typo, then phone changed it to log. But ill take your theories over my explanation haha
  10. I don't know, I think drafting a small school guy is just as risky as drafting a guy recovering from an injury
  11. Exactly. Building through the draft is the best way to go. The trick is you have to draft good players.
  12. That is only if you look at the big name guys in fa. If you look at the rest of fa, the bills don't do that bad grabbing developmental players that actually make a big difference like chandler, pears, Fitz, freddy, and others. I mean, I would take those guys over the big name players we grabbed in the past that bombed.
  13. Yeah, losman helping people in buffalo really helped his nfl career. His agent knew just what to do, help some people, and your nfl career will never fail!
  14. Terrible thread title. Good for avp though. Having multiple franchises looking at him he will be in the league awhile. But even if avp was the worst qb coach of all time, that still wouldn't equal an nfl gm throwing in the towel. Throwing in the towel would be like quitting, firing people he just hired, cutting franchise players for no reason. But interviewing avp for qb coach? C'mon
  15. Sounds like he is expecting to be a bill next year the way he is talking about being a vet next year compared to the other bills recievers. I think this is a good sign, tho I am Erik worried about losing him.
  16. If we drafted green instead people would complain that we ignored the trenches and the front office picked green as a luxury pick. I think in hindsight, either one would still make me happy.
  17. I agree with all this, even the part about williams. He was servicable in the 3-4, but he doesn't belong there. This defense is going to be a mess again this season, at least in the begining. I expect by mid season all the players that are strictly 3-4 will be cut or barely playing.
  18. Him playing mlb in a 4-3 is actually an interesting idea. Not sure how much I like it, but it is something that is better than a lot of the repeated stuff on him. Kind of wonder about him as olb in the 4-3 too. Again, um not saying I like it, but it is something to think about for sure.
  19. I would take Mercilus and Perry over upshaw as well. I doubt they will still be there though. I even have reservations about upshaw being available with our pick. I know a lot of people are thinking otherwise, but it is so hard to tell this early. Last year we thought dareus was a lock at pick number 2 until like an hour before the draft. I think at this point, we won't know much where upshaw will be taken until we sources start squeeling to reporters how their team's big board is set up. even then, it wont be certain. agreed. I like upshaw. there is reason for concern that he won't live up to the top ten spot, but I think he is a safe enough pick to where he would be a difference maker on this team and be the pass rusher we need.
  20. that is his 40 time. in pads, he doesn't seem to be very fast on the field. He is very talented, but his speed looks average in pads compared to other players. I think upshaw will be a great player in the nfl, and I don't think he would be too much of a reach if we drafted him. I think he is a fairly safe pick, and would be great for us.
  21. if Soliai goes to a team outside our division, then that alone would be amazing. He is a stud. if we plan on doing a hybrid still, he would be pretty great to have him at NT, williams and dareus at DE in the 3-4.... then maybe in the 4-3, have williams and Soliai at NT and dareus at DE? I don't know. I don't think Soliai would really fit on this defense. It is a nice idea to have him, because the guy is a stud. But if he leaves the the phins, that would be wonderful. the worst thing that will happen is that he will cost so much they won't be able to add any other players through FA, or at least be limited.
