Rico Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 7) In order to drive home the point on just how good Jason Peters is, I am going to say that he is already worth a 1st round pick, and I am NOT talking about a late one. In case anybody cares, I would turn down a top 10 pick for him. 862082[/snapback] I sure as hell wouldn't trade him to the Jets for Da Brick, even if they picked up the difference in the contracts.
HurlyBurly51 Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 I know, but if his agent is worth a damn, no way he plays for that money as our starting LT. Even if he's willing, I'd rather see Ralph/Marv do the right thing and pay him more fairly. If he truly does end up solidifying the position and performs at a high level, I think it would be wrong to hold him to that deal. 862183[/snapback] Maybe someone has the exact figures, but I thought his raise got him up to about $5M per year. I think that's fair enough, at least for the next 2 years or so.
John from Riverside Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 We have the franchise left tackle we were looking for......

aussiew Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 I was happy to see that even my boy Jabari Greer made a couple of good plays.
Astrobot Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 A couple of other things: Justin Miller is a great kick returner. It will be a battle between McGee and him for the Pro Bowl nod. If you want a left tackle, you don't draft him in the first round. It's a crepe-shoot. Just regroove a tight end. Next week better sell out in response to this club's effort. I for one am looking to go.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHH! JUCK THE FETS! GO BILLS!
Rubes Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHH! JUCK THE FETS! GO BILLS! 862248[/snapback] Good to see the old Joe back.
CosmicBills Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 During the telecast, one of the announcers said that JP wanted to show everyone that the Bills had the guys already there to be a good offense and didn't need anyone else. I didn't agree with that, but like how things are slowly turning around. 862187[/snapback] But in truth, isn't that what you want your QB and team leader to say? Even if it's just PC-speak, it's still good to hear if you're blocking for the guy or catching his passes.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 1) I am glad that Coy Wire is a Buffalo Bill. Go ahead and blast away. I don't give a !@#$. 6) I don't know how many will agree, but imo it will cost at least 30 million over 5 years to re-sign Kelsay. Ya think I'm crazy? Talk to me in February/07. Pay the man Ralph....a new day has dawned. 862082[/snapback] Coy Wire has played great at LB. I can't believe myself actually cheering for this guy! He seems like the perfect fit for this defense. If Fletcher leaves, I can see them swinging Crowell to the middle and keeping Ellison or Wire as the other OLB. (Btw, Spikes is poised to return to full form next year--another solid game by him today). We already have Kelsay's replacement-- Anthony Hargrove. These are Kelsay's final days here in Buffalo--especially if his market rate is going to be as high as you suggest.

Did you notice Ellison and Wire actually tackling the runner in the gap? What makes you want to put Crowell who couldn't do that all season and got plenty of tackles becuase everyone ran at him knowing it was a 7-10 gain once they got past Schobel. Why would you want to make Crowell the Qb of the defense? His undersized body is already getting blown out on most plays expecting him to perform well in an even more physical position isn't going to happen.

Crowell has been getting a lot of praise from the staff and nat'l media. And I heard (or thought I had heard) that he got some work at MLB in camp. It seems natural that he'd be Fletcher's replacement if it comes to that. I personally am not sold on Crowell; but I am no great judge of linebackers either. And I also attribute a lot of the runs to his side to Schobel--who is always out of position against the run. Crowell seems to do well in coverage. He also seemed to be much better last season than this one.
Coach Tuesday Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Let's see, there were 2 LTs in this game - an undrafted converted TE, and a top-five pick. Who played better? Let's see, there were a few DEs out there today - two of them were top-20 picks, three of them were second-round afterthoughts with "high motors." Who played better?
MadBuffaloDisease Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 But in truth, isn't that what you want your QB and team leader to say? Even if it's just PC-speak, it's still good to hear if you're blocking for the guy or catching his passes. It was noble of him, supporting his teammates like that (and kind of throwing the defense under the bus). But he didn't have to go that far and could have said he's looking for continued improvement from himself and his teammates.

But right now i believe this team can beat anyone in the league when they play at the top of their game. Kudos to the Buffalo Bills organization from ralph to the janitor for putting a good product on the field after Donahoe left. The buffalo Bills should be feared by every team. I would'nt wanna play us.... hahahahahah sweet GO BILLS

Sometimes, you just have to get lucky, ala the Pats and their skinny 6th round QB.
MadBuffaloDisease Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Sometimes, you just have to get lucky, ala the Pats and their skinny 6th round QB. There's nothing lucky about steroids and/or HGH. Getting him in the 6th round though..

Only the Patsies of lately have been able to take a player out of their position and play them in a spot they shouldn't be in and be actually good at it. Coy Wire was amazing when he filled in at LB. We actually stopped the run when he was in!!!!! Cudos to him!!! I though it was amazing! J E T S SUCKS SUCKS SUCKS!!!! We had an annoying guy behind us (jets fan) at the Harp tonite! If you were there you know what I mean! LET'S GO BUFFALO!!!!!!!! I love the BILLS!!!!

Ramius Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 10 GO BILLS FANS!!!!!!!GO BUFFALO BILLS FOOTBALL TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 862082[/snapback] Bill, do you still think Gandy is that terrible? To me, he's looked decent at LG, and him and Peters have been playing well together. I would not mind at all if they re-sign Gandy and keep him at LG. IF him and Peters are developing a chemistry, theres no reason to break that apart. Now, we need to focus on building a solid right side of the line. IMO, the top "need" spot on the O-line is RG. Preston has been holing his own, but an upgrade wouldnt hurt. I suppose if we sign steinbach, we could shift gandy to RG.
