Need better fact checkers.

They are saying he is still the starter....

Especially on the Bills. Ralph wilson stadium is like a graveyard for football careers.

I agree with this assesment. Especially with Greg Williams... the guy made our defense a stud, but as an HC he was just horrific. there are so many great coordinators that shouldn't be a HC (see wade philips). Anthony Hargrove should have been obvious, more obvious than Greer but people don't reconize it as often. When hargrove was suspended, our defense looked a lot worse, and when he came back, we played a lot better. Ridding him was one of Marv's "character" moves, which hurt our team talent wise. Personally, I would have liked to have kept Greer and drafted someone else instead of mcckelvin, just because DBs is one position that doesn't need any attention... but I will admit, mcckelvin is getting better and better, and he is definently an upgrade over greer.... just sucks that so many other positions are very weak. As far as incognito, I wasn't a huge fan like others here.... and I really didn't want him starting at guard when we had wood/levitre. But I did wish the bills signed his tender and kept him, at least for depth purposes because we lacked depth badly. And I wish we did it more now seeing incognito playing pretty well for a division rival. He looked good in that vikings game.

The ravens wanted him back, but were worried about his health. And our doctors (who can walk on water since they got Everett walking again) said he was fine. Edwards was one of the bigger name free agents. If it wasn't for his health, he would have signed with another team for twice as much.... and so far, the man looks damn healthy. So I don't know what you are talking about.... he has the talent, he just has to prove his health isn't an issue.

Someone mentioned hasslebeck the other day.... if we could get him somehow, I like that option more than others.

Agreed. I think the jury is still out on Edwards. Not his talent, but his health. A lot of teams were too concerned with his health... so if he proves after one year that health isn't an issue, a lot of those teams are going to be kicking themselves for not signing him when they had the chance, becuase he is a pretty good talent.

It is different because they need a QB, and we don't haha, I can't even type it without laughing

Also, the bills aren't the only team shopping an RB. Giants are shopping Jacobs. That might change the RB market for us when/if we are attempting a marshawn trade. Watch Jacobs go to GB for a 2nd round, just to piss us all off.

shocking, isn't it?

The only thing they are missing is OLB (which is very important) and them ignoring it is probably almost as bad as ignoring the oline/QB. And this was probably easier to fix. They didn't have to get a dansby player... but a stop gap like jason taylor wouldn't have been bad. But the bills have enough players for the 3-4 to play that sceme. We have a NT in troup who is perfect for the 3-4, dwan edwards as DE who has played 3-4 before, and Davis who is a 3-4 inside LB. Poz is fine, but not stellar as an ILB (in any scheme). and So far, stroud seems to have made the switch to DE pretty well. And maybin has a better shot at OLB in 3-4 than he does at DE in 4-3 The only thing this team is lacking is depth at ILB and starting OLBs. If we had OLB that could give a pass rush, this defense would be pretty damn good. It is a shame, because even with a really good secondary, they aren't going to look as good. You can throw against a good secondary pretty easy when you have all day to throw. The only thing as starters we are missing for the 3-4 is really the OLB... which is important. But I think we have more players for the 3-4 than we do the 4-3. The 4-3 isn't bad, but the way the bills did it wasn't right. That is why people were able to run the ball down our throats like it was nothing.

Try telling that to the ravens.... though I agree, there were other needs that needed attention.

And that is just the begining.

this calls for another bilboard

I say trade a low pick for him (5th or 6th) and put him in at RT, even if it is just for this year so we aren't killing ourselves. Looks like he already got his guarenteed money.

Peters and walker couldn't save this line.... though walker is probably more servicable than green for sure. I understand buddy not seeing the future of the bills QB and linewise in the draft, but he should have signed more/better stop gap players because green and edwards shouldn't be starting. And if you watched the miami/vikes game, it seems like we should have kept incognito, at least for depth purposes.

I say cut one of them (at this point, I choose edwards) and trade for someone else to come in. There are plenty of teams with a capeable backup I am sure they would part with.

I always said that the line and QB sucked. I never disagreed with you there. You just pretended I said QB and oline were fine in your pretendland you come from. I said a couple nice things (along with a lot of negative things) about buddy and you assumed I liked the QB and line for some reason... even though in every post I said the opposite. You just fail at reading. your reading comprehension is just attrocious. People type in black and white saying "i hate the qb and oline" and you reply "what?! you love buddy and our QB and oline?! What is wrong with you?!" then you get called on it and you say "dude, dont be so sensitive!" Man, just practice some reading...

This pretty much implies that evans got paid 19 million for this one game...which is misleading. not to mention he set up the only scoring drive of the game. Sure it was pass interference, but damn it, the offense actually SCORED wont be seeing that often this season

Or almost any other player taken in the 1st round would have been better than maybin.

Well, we had no one to rush them anyway.

hahhahahahahhahahahhaahahahahaha

The team would probably go bankrupt.

That makes one player on offense.

I actually remember that. It is amazing how just one pick could have changed this team. The trenches have been ignored for so long. I am glad they took a look at the Dline by grabbing edwards and drafting troup, but no OLB for a pass rush? I think so much of this team would look different if we took Oher over Maybin. Even if oher was just a really good RT... that would really open up the run game and we wouldn't rely on trent as much and let him screw up. Because right now, maybin is looking worthless. And it is like you said, avoidable mistakes. Most fans wanted nagta over whitner, or orpako/oher/cushing over maybin. And it looks like the fans were right. I don't know what to make of the spiller pick yet. I am glad we have a playmaker, but he hasn't shown that much and looks like he is going to be a reggie bush type player, outside of what we saw in preseason. And I am not sure who I would have picked over him.... but it wouldn't have been a QB or LT... I didn't like any of them 9th overall. But there were plenty of defensive players I would have picked over spillar.
