Bill from NYC Posted December 17, 2006 Author Posted December 17, 2006 9. I offered a public mia culpa to Simon earlier today. I'll bump it when he's active. Nate has been outstanding over the last 4-6 weeks. 869695[/snapback] It is a very complicated situation imo. I believe that Nate would like to leave town, but how could he turn down the type of contract I specified? (and btw, I DON'T think I went high) The guy COULD get hurt next week and get NOTHING! I am thinking that if Ralph offered him 20 million to sign, he would be stupid to say no. The cap room IS in fact there, and we would be able to go after OGs and LBs in the early rounds and free agency. Yeah, I am all fired up, but I am saying that I don't think that our Bills are really that far away. We should NOT have to lose Nate. Please pay the man Mr. Wilson!!!

Snyder wouldnt have a problem tossing 70 mil, 25 mil SB at clements and freeny. Rumor is that snyder is already fueling up 3 private jets to go for freeny, clements, and briggs on day 1 of FA.
JStranger76 Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 Ellison plays weakside YOOOOOOOOOOO. Good luck getting your job back Crowell. We have a 6th round steal folks.........
JStranger76 Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 If we let Nate even test the free agent waters WE'RE DOOOOOOOOMED!!!!!!!! Seriously though, pay the man Ralph so Marv won't draft a 1st round CB.
Ramius Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 3) Yes, he HAS made a few good plays over the last 2 seasons, but you people just got to witness why I was so mad at drafting a circus show side act with our first selection of a draft. The guy drives me friggin nuts. 869610[/snapback] I too was ready to strangle roscoe after that retarded decision on the punt return. It must be a UM thing, cuz i have seen willis do it a few times too. But remember roscoe has made some plays this year. Was worth he a 2nd round pick, probably not no. But hate donahoe for drafting him, dont hate roscoe for being picked. its not his fault.
HurlyBurly51 Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 i know the team has already declared they would not franchise nate again. i also know a high character guy like marv levy won't go back on his word without serious cause. in my opinion however, the bills will be nothing short of stupid if they let nate walk. i sincerely hope they make every attempt to keep nate, especially since they have made such strides and appear to be poised for a run at legitimacy. 869705[/snapback] I do not know the details of this "agreement" but here's how I think it will play out. They will do their absolute best to get him re-signed to a lucrative extension during that exclusive window. If it comes down to the 11th hour, they will tag him, knowing that will sever all ties with him, but they won't just let him get away for nothing. We will work out a trade with another team that Nate also negotiates with and gets a contract to his liking. Hopefully we're able to sign him before FA starts, but if not it makes no business sense whatsoever to just let him walk. You can't take the risk of letting him hit the open market, because you can't control your own destiny if he does. Our only card at that point is to use the tag. Yes, if it comes to that it would get ugly for awhile, but ultimately he'll get what he wants and the Bills will get something in return. With all that said, pay the man Ralph!

If this happens, we wouldn't be totally screwed. I gotta admit that yours is a scenario that I have never considered. Great work!
DCBongo Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 Great posts AGAIN Bill, And how about props to Coach Farichild for getting the TE position back in vauge with the offsense! How long has a tight end been planning a TD dance
Dibs Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 ......Was worth he a 2nd round pick......869769[/snapback] Hell, yeah. He single handedly(well...sort of) won us the JAX game. I think there is a negative slant against him because he was our first player picked last year....and that he is a complimentary type player, not the position starter that we needed. Randle El was a second rounder....as was Sinorice Moss. Parrish has certainly performed in what is essentially just past his rookie year at a level higher than should perhaps be expected....he is out performing Randle El at the equivalent time.
YOOOOOO Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 Ellison plays weakside YOOOOOOOOOOO. Good luck getting your job back Crowell. We have a 6th round steal folks......... 869764[/snapback] Nah he is playing the strongside....TKO switched back over to the weakside...

Why does every Bills fan think he's good?
cåblelady Posted December 17, 2006 Posted December 17, 2006 It rained the entire game. I just got home and into some warm, dry clothes. It was totally worth getting soaked ! Got a sweet Bills hat from some guy selling them for a charity. It has the charging buffalo on it and underneath is stitched: DOLPHINS SUCK Priceless.
ExWNYer Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 1) Looking left for THAT amount of time and then throwing a fastball to Royal on the right was imvho, the biggest stride I have seen Losman make as a QB. This week, I decided to start with the QB position. 2) Moorman is almost as good as Ray Guy. I wonder how many here realize just what a compliment this is. 3) Yes, he HAS made a few good plays over the last 2 seasons, but you people just got to witness why I was so mad at drafting a circus show side act with our first selection of a draft. The guy drives me friggin nuts. 4) I guess that the "players of the game" were Ellison and Reed. That in itself is friggin insane. And awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 5) With 3:37 to go in the 4th quarter, we should have been looking at Nall and S. Williams. Sorry Coach Jauron, but you were flat out wrong to risk injury to JP and WM with nothing at stake. 6) Only 1 "high motor" comment about Schobel today. Thank God for small favors. 7) In the 2nd quarter, the phish showed little respect for our defense when they ran up the middle on 3rd and 10. The credit for this observation belongs to nirvjam. He only lurks these days which is a shame, because he is a super fan, and a super human being. 8) I did notice that "step" that TKO lost today. Imagine if he gets any of it back?! 9) RING.......Hello Nate? This is BfNYC from www.twobillsdrive.com. I am just calling to offer you a 6 year contract. It call for 50 million dollars, and comes with a 20 million dollar signing bonus. If this sounds OK, tell your agent to call Mr. Modrak. Take care. 10) When you watch the replay of the TD pass to Reed, watch Jason Peters shove Taylor out of the way like he was a rag !@#$ing doll! A sight to behold I tell you! 11) GO BILLS FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GO BUFFALO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!! 869610[/snapback] 1) Agreed. Watch the replay and see him look off Evans and come back to Royal on the right. Good job not to lock onto his favorite target. Sweet! 2) He's better, IMHO. If he maintains the 40 yard net average, that will seal the deal. Ray Guy played in a (fairly) warm weather site. He didn't have to contend with the elements that Moorman does. 3) Stupidest play of the year, hands down. But the guy is electrifying and has been more good than bad when healthy. 4) Ellison played a helluva game and Reed's "bull" through three defenders was a thing of beauty. It's nice to get significant contributions from unexpected sources. 5) Agreed. I was scratching my head over that but it's hard to fault the coaches for anything today. 6) Thank God for Schobel, period. He's underrated. The "high motor" comments are BS. 7) The run defense doesn't deserve much respect, but they earned some as the game progressed. Sammy freakin' Morris?? 8) Still hoping and praying, but he seems to be improving every week. 9) Contract year performance or not, the Bills need to go all out to re-sign him or they'll be taking yet another CB high in the draft. 10) Barring injury, Jason Peters has a bright future ahead of him. He's maturing into a very good LT right before our eyes. 11)

MadBuffaloDisease Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Who are you referring to? Parrish.

Alaska Darin Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Devin Hester was a 2nd rounder, and believe me, no one in Chicago is questioning that selection! 869938[/snapback] Today they may have been. As good as he was Monday night, he was pretty much that bad against the Bucs.
BRH Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Zack Thomas was the player of the game 21 tackles 2 Forced Fumbles. 869639[/snapback] Did you by any chance see the play where JP blew him up? Zach Thomas is a fraud. Always has been, always will be.
BuffaloWings Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 5) With 3:37 to go in the 4th quarter, we should have been looking at Nall and S. Williams.

A sight to behold I tell you! 869610[/snapback] As usual...great post, Bill. I really like to hear stuff like this since I rarely get to see the game live. Now my comments.. 5 - I have to disagree here. At this point, keep Losman in the game no matter the score. Keep him synchronized, bonded, whatever with the OL and the rest of the offense. Yeah, injury is a risk, but he's getting it now. About the only time I'd take him out of a game is if he got beaten up by a tough defense and the game is out of hand late in the 4th. 10 - Someone please tell me that this was as effective as Taylor and Peters were in their roles all day. Wow!!!!!!!
YOOOOOO Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 Did you by any chance see the play where JP blew him up? Zach Thomas is a fraud. Always has been, always will be. 869967[/snapback] That was awesome..... If someone could youtube that play it would be great
