Man, I really hope a new CBA is in place by march. Otherwise it is just really going to be a downer in the offseason. Even though we don't make much noise anyway in the offseason.

I am thinking that too. Either peterson or green. I would be happier with green.... but I wanted all along either luck or front 7.... so since luck is out....

It should be a two way street, working together. You just don't offer them a job. You actually have to interview people and see if they actually want the job. Otherwise you are like the phins throwing a job to a person who doesn't want it and your current coach looks like a fool. Wade already has a job.

What chan was saying was, it was important for him to meet with the defensive staff because those are the people he would work with and he doesn't know him. So for him to go to buffalo to meet with the coaches, he was REALLY there to meet with the defensive staff. He knows gailey well enough that he doesn't need to fly to buffalo to know what type of coach gailey is. He flew up there to learn more about the defensive side of the ball. There is nothing to "WTF?" about. Chan is obviously trying to shake up the staff by inviting another coach to interview. But if any coach is going to take a job, he is probably going to want to talk to the people he is going to work with. It isn't lame. It is normal. good calls

I am a little lost myself. I can't see him taking anything less than DC, but the way the article goes, he is here because there is an opening for a LB coach, which doesn't make sense. they are saying they aren't sure what his role would be. My guess is they are considering a change at DC, but don't want to dump Edwards without someone to replace him. But I don't know. I think it is looking more like they are going to try to talk him into a smaller job he doesn't want, and he ends up somewhere else.

This would make a lot of sense, because we have a dire need for someone to return kicks and punts. What would we do if Freddie, spiller, and Roscoe are all injured????

So in other words, it is cam newton or die? Great . that is a pretty bold statement saying Cam newton is going to become a michael jordan figure in the NFL. I am not saying the kid is going to be a bust, but be a michael jordan type? That is just waaaay out there. Not to mention, did cam newton even declare yet? I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't declare.

interesting stuff.

yup.

Didn't we draft a lot of "leaders" and "high character" people last year? This team is in desperate need of talent, not character.

for reals.

Pretty damn good. turned 25k into millions and millions of dollars, four afc championships, not bad at all. Of course, the team hasn't won much in the last 10 years, but if I was ralph, I would say things worked out pretty well.

If there is no CBA in place on march 3rd, it could be a long time until we get a free agency period. But the nfl has said over and over that the draft will take place at the time it was origionally planned. It is free agency that is the questionmark.

yup.

lord no. any player worth the 3rd overall pick (IE tom brady, peyton, big ben, etc) isn't going to get traded. Not to mention right now, there really isn't going to be any trade talks period.

I am hoping a stong offseason turns into a great season for us..... but man, I need an going to need some convincing to actually expect a good season.

Buffalo needs a TE more than most teams, so buffalo would probably offer him a good chunk of money other teams wouldn't.... that is if buffalo wants him.

Agreed.

man, would love for him to be a bill..... it's not impossible.

Bruce sighting!

back to back TD drives is average?

Seeing that they gave stanford a relevent football program, I say they there is something special about them and I wouldn't be surprised to see them have a lot more success.

placing blame on the owner isn't in one of your silly "boner" options in your poll. come on man, you made the poll. You should know what you put in it. As far as meddeling owners, other than Ralph, the ones that come to mind are Davis, Jones, and Snyder.... all not doing well, just like the bills. So that really just states the obvious that a meddeling owner is a bad owner. I know ralph as meddled a lot in the past, but right now, I just don't know how much he really meddles now. He obviously meddles, but he isn't nearly as vocal about it as much as the other guys.

So much can be read into that, and for good reason too.

I know our defense is bad and all, and probably even worse than the offense.... but right now our own defense is outscoring our offense
