The Lebron signing hurts the Bills in two ways.
1. It reinforces the perception to great players that championships cannot be won in small markets.
2. Big name free agents are more likely to drift to the Dolphins.

For all the negativity on this board I am surprised that more people are not concerned like me that spiller will be just another reggie bush. Bush demonstrated that smallish fast rbs who need open spaces may not seem so fast or elusive at all at the next level. Bush was considered a once in a generation player coming out of college. Instant offense. A cant miss prospect So much so that the texans were ridiculed at levels not seen before or since for picking a franchise defensive end ahead of bush. What could bush get in a trade today. A fourth? Before last year anyone would have taken lynch over bush straight up. Can someone explain why spiller will be better than bush so I feel better about this pick and the season.

This site already does everything I need it to do. It's easily navigated from my phone already. I hate phone ready skins. You can't access all the stuff you want. Why can't developers resist "upgrading" for once. Who here hasn't found the new NHL site a pain. It took 6 monhs of work with unlimited resources just to begin to address the bugs. It's so overblown it crashes your system. Please keep it the way it is. I better have an animated projected 3D hologram of bruce coming around the edge to make this all worth it.

We signed Maybin and Pos to sell tickets to Northern PA. No more drafting players to sell tickets.

by the way your theory sucks. some teams would have a game rest before playoffs... that would now be an unfair advantage.
how about EARNING your right to a bye week as the current schedule has it????
Our whole team is on IR by week 10 anyway so I'd be fine with it.

You honestly think McNabb will be traded for the unknown Kolb to start in place of him? The Eagles would be NUTZ to do that and I don't think they will.
I don't think rivers or rodgers ever played a full quarter before they took over for the all pros dumped by their teams.

We all know that our Bills need a franchise QB. That being said what things are you most interested in?
Arm Strength?
Accuracy?
Mobility?
Intelligence?
Experience?
Ability/experience of playing in bad weather?
Character?
Leadership?
Durability?
If you had to put these things into order of preference when deciding what to look for in a franchise QB for the Buffalo Bills what would it be?
Arm strength is more important in Buffalo than in any other town. That makes it really hard to find a franchise QB here. Drew Brees would have a tough time building up a hall of fame career here even with the same supporting cast. There is an all pro strong armed QB who may be available. Does anyone remember how Mcnabb abused Eli at the wind game in Giants stadium in the 08 playoffs.

Isn't TO an unrestricted free agent? My understanding was that he had fulfilled his obligation to the organization and it is shocking to me that he is insinuating that he still lives in Buffalo.
I had the exact same reaction. Does anyone know if he is still hanging around the facility maybe trying to get a baseline offer for 2010?

I think this was the best draft ever, in any sport! Bill Polian has a nose for great talent. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzWn7NK3U_E
I forgot that Derrick Burroughs was drafted that year. He had an uneven start to his career, but man, he was really putting it all together before the career ending injury. Was headed for a potential pro bowl career, and who knows, maybe a third hall of famer from that class if a few rings were on his resume.
Recall that after Burroughs injury the Bills had to waste a #1 on the overall bust JD Williams. If Burroughs stayed healthy, we could have drafted a real nose tackle and still had Burroughs as a veteran shut down corner for 1990-1994.
Brad Butler's injury this year made me recall Burroughs, making a leap from mediocrity to great, then an injury.

Well, I'm sure it's not the one you're thinking of and it really isn't that funny but I remember it because they made the fans take it down during the 1st quarter. In the '88 opener someone hung a sign that read "Bruce Smith is a man of Substance." An obvious reference to his four game suspension for substance abuse to open that season. If memory serves it was against the Vikings and Thurman served notice he was going to be a force in his rookie year despite Marve's reluctance to play rookies. Ironically, we went 4-0 during Bruce's absence only to lose our first game upon his return.
GO BILLS!!!

I remember the cameras kept showing a sign a fan brought that said KELLY IS GOD. One of the two funniest signs ever brought to a bills game. Anyone remember what the other one was.

League MVP.....and best all around all purpose RB to ever play the game !!
#1- Thurman
#2- Bruce
#3- O.J.
#4- Cookie
#5- Kelly
In the early 90s I would often watch long periods of games focusing exclusively on the play of Bruce Smith. Here's how it went. Opposing QB starts his walk toward the center and immediately begins to check out where and how Bruce is lining up. Gets under center and starts the count. QB makes first look at Bruce while under center. Looks at Bruce again. And again. And again just before the snap. Snaps the ball. Bruce is at least double teamed. Whole left side of the line gets crashed in almost instantaneously by Bruce. The best they can do is hang on and hope the ball is gone soon enough. This went on play after play year after year. It was just ridiculous. I used think constantly "I can't believe this guy is playing for my team!" Even though the announcers would always commend Bruce's play, usually after he made an obvious big play, which was several times a game, I often wondered why no one seemed to see what I was seeing. That just about every play an offense ran was predicated first on how Bruce was going to be addressed. I used to watch Reggie White games very closely to try and identify evidence of this measure of domination in terms of the impact he had on an offensive game plan, and I'm sorry, it just wasn't there. Not even close. Teams used to try to take advantage of Bruce's first step and run draws to Bruce's side. Not too long into his career, Bruce was able to stop the rush on a dime, obscenely change direction mid-stride, and make a play on the ball carrier.
-
For over a decade he consumed at least two blockers nearly every play and still dominated. He not only was the best Bill I ever saw. He was the best football player I ever saw. I continue to be amazed at how underrated Bruce continues to be.

True story, when Jackson scored against the pats to go up 11 i received a congratulatory text. I texted back as follows:
Text 1: this means we four chances to win the game
Text 2: first chance gone, three to go
Text 3: second chance gone, two to go
Text 4: third chance gone, but we still have a chance!!
Text 5: [edited]
There were about 10 minutes in real time between the 5 texts

I'm embaressed and I'm not even in the Bills front office about this coaching search. I feel like everybody is laughing at us. I didn't think things would get even worse than the season, but this coaching search is even harder to take then the Jauron debacle of the last several years.
How does this front office and Bills fans save face from this utter chaos of a coaching search. I can't think of anything they could do to save face other than hire Cowher, but of course that isn't going to happen.
After hearing that Harbaugh turned down the job, how would you feel if you were Leslie Frazier? If I was Frazier and the Bills came running now, I wouldn't take the job offer either. We may have just blown it with him as well.
Who is left when Frazier and Grimm turn down the Bills as well?? Don't expect Garrett to interview. Why would he leave Dallas and that new stadium to come to a hopeless team like Buffalo with this inept front office and owner.
One way the organization can save face is get lucky and hire a throw away journeyman assistant who magically turns out to be a brilliant head coach. There is a chance it could work out. Just like putting an Oline together with 4 rookies. Funny thing is once the hire is made I will be convincing myself there is Lombardi in the re-tread.

I saw this solution mentioned in one line in a recent Sports Illustrated article. A fan of the Packers came up with it a while back. You simply bid on the yard line you want the ball at and the ball goes to the lowest bidder. The game proceeds as it does under the current system, first to score wins. If team A bids its own 19 and team B bids its own 18, it goes to team B at its own 18. If you really want the ball bad, fine, bid your own 1. Fair and square. Can you imagine the media talk show and message board discussions ensuing from a coach's decision on where to bid for the ball. It would be awesome.

Since launching ill advised prayers all day long in the general direction evans and owens would be an improvement to the game plans we have seen recently, I do not see a lack of prep time with the offense as a negative.

Haven't heard Levitre's name much.

Would be surprised if any of us have ever heard of him. Never has made more then the league minium. Was cut a few times but keeps showing up somewhere. Wish he was a Bill but will route for him to preform well in a losing effort (for those of you that don't click on the link Favre is the oldes field player, this guy is the anti Favre.)
Chelios is +6 wth 4 assists in 3 games with the Chicago Wolves

Position by position I am hard pressed to find one guy on the current roster who would start over the same position guy of the early 90's Bills.
The current players we have just aren't very good, on the whole OR individually.
stroud over wright? anyone over JD Williams? anyone over Kelso?
-
He may or may not be a great coach, but I relly love this guy on MNF. He's a lot like a young Madden - full of excitement and passion for the game. Best group they've had in the booth in decades, easily.
I know this has been said before, but felt obligate to state it again. Should be a good game!
I could tell from the first preseason game that Gruden was a special talent in the booth, but was thinking to myself, "geez he's really crowding out Jaworski, he won't shut up." Then the next week he was giving Jaws all sorts of space and setting him up left and right. Thats when I began to think we may be seeing the best ever.

Weeb won the whole thing with two teams.

Are the teams wearing the same uniform to make it more interesting

Let's face it, this season is 6 and 10 at best. If we can get a 3rd round pick for TO, I say go for it.
I'd take a 6th or even a 7th for him -- Dallas might be interested. Need to develop Steve.

If Hardy or Johnson show any semblance of a breakout season (not holding my breath) TO could market himself as being a mentor to young power receivers and not a hasben who will take reps of a prospect.
