Excellent pick up on the PR angle to picking OL when you are about to cut your greatest ever OL draft bust. DT in round one if it's TD. If not - the PR sensitivity might not matter as much. If we pick top 5, I might look to trade down in R1 and use the high pick in R2 to move back into the first round. With 2 3rds already, we might as well double our chances in the first...

OK. Let's focus on the UFAs for a moment. This is some interesting discussion. I am going to safely assume that Kevin Thomas gets resigned (based on some info I got in person) and that Clements will leave by some means, although possibly not as a true UFA. Bannan will be re-signed, he's versatile and a good ST body and backup DT. Schneck will be brought back too assuming we have Bobby April still and MM is in place. Josh Reed has helped himself with year (if that has been possible at all in such a disaster) and will be back for another 3 years I imagine. Jerman is a gonner. If you can't crack our OL roster you really are sh--. OK now my walks - Teague. I would be flat out astounded if we do anything to try and keep TT. As a UFA we might even earn more thru letting him walk and getting low-round 2007 draft pick compensation. He will not be a Tackle in Buffalo, and you have to assume that the poor OL play this year will be his downfall. Ron Edwards - it may be too much of a reach to let him go as a UFA and get rid of Sam Adams as a cap saver. His injury his what put the nail in the coffin for me. We'll have Tim Anderson, Sape, Bannan on the books - and we'll want to look up a DT in the Draft and one in FA. There is your 5. Ryan Denney - I suspect him as a gonner, but not surprised to see him tendered for a 2 year contracr or similar. I don't think with all the other problems to sort we want to be in the market for DEs too. I would hang on to Schobel, Kelsay and Denney as our DEs for another year. Shane Matthews - just got too old. I think Holcomb may stay in the mix and we'll look at a 7th Round or similar QB.

Feckin Ryan Longwell just needed 3 figgies for me to go to my Fantasy Final... DISASTARDS!

i had baked potato for dinner. it had cheese melted on it

And why do we want a HC that does the personnel stuff too? Isn't that a proven recipe for disaster???

Gruden no. Haslett - I read the article and immediately thought he is prempting an opportunity to come to Buffalo... Not gonna happen tho.

You have gotta be kidding me... Have you just down graded what 'elite' means?? Elite players from your list: Brady, Seymour, LT2, Bruschi, Faneca, Manning, James, Harrison, Freeney, Gates. The rest are definately a step behind those guys... And I'd definately rate some Bills in a similar category to some of those other guys.... Moorman is an elite punter for example... Yeah the Bills aint loaded with Talent - but our guys at least have some potential... Willis, JP (errr), Evans (?), Peters (?)

Goodbye: Anderson, Williams, Teague, Jerman Re-role: Gandy Start: Peters, Villarrial, Preston Retain for fodder: Geisinger, McFarland Draft: LT, LG, RG FA: LG, RG, RT

Will not get on the field because he won't run between the tackles apparantly... Until he runs hard between the tackles he will not play. And he won't get another shot to prove himself until the offseason.

And to think I got flamed for suggesting Lee Evans had been less than impressive this year!! If I was a kid I'd pack up my toys and go home so y'all couldn't play with me any more...........

there ya go!!

He got in befor ethe fumble??

i love the call to go for it i hate we had to call timeout - its early, what a silly thing to have to do

NAtional TV - ESPN

Hey up all - just getting set for a late night back heer in the UK... Man I wish I was in the Ralph tonight... All the talk on the pregame of cold weather and snow really makes me miss it.

But that would mean the fins are in at the expense of the Pats.... However. No. I would need LOTS of hard drugs before I rooted for the Fins.

Snow on Christmas Day.

That was on TV here some time ago... The boy was heartbreaking... and in so much pain...

just not very fast

I hate him as much as anyone else - but you think he doesn't deserve it?? Watching him in the flesh the other day was impressive. No matter how bad we were - he made us look worse... And he's all the better having come from nowhere to stardom - it's the American Dream right??

Looks like something from South Park...

OK - consider me chastised. I am wrong. Thanks for putting me straight.

The point you make about Moulds being a leader hasn't shown to be true IMO. You look at the team and nobody exhaults Moulds like they did TKO. I think EM's exhaulted status came to an end with the TKO era. Power shifted in the locker room to the D - and they we get Milloy and Vincent and Bledsoe who essentially stole his thunder. The writing has been on the wall for Moulds for a season or two IMO - he's had enough of Buffalo and Bills football and wants a fair weather team in the hope he get a Superbowl shot in the 2-4years left in his career. As for the continuity issue - I agree - I think the players who wanted to stay but we let go (PW, JJ, DB) we should have retained with hindsight...

Actually yeah we should resign him. JP likes throwing to him (albeit in garbage time) and he can block. So why not? He should be cheap too.
