Ray Ray? Really? Why because of the shooting after the SB in 99? He didn't do it. He ended up helping the authorities. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. And subsequently has been a model citizan and player. If you asked every coach in the NFL, they would all want Ray Lewis on their team. Granted his skills are diminishing but the guy is a leader. He takes interest in the rookies and likes watching them grow and develope.

I hear ya on the percentages. But maybe some guys want to know at what price?

When some famous 'cool' guy did it by mistake. Thus a bunch of people who can not think fo rthemselves followed suite. basically how every dumb trend gets started

Levitre is a solid gaurd. I do not put him on the same level as Grubbs or Nicks, personally. But he will get paid good money. 5 years 23 mil with half gauranteed would be fair. He has been versatile from a health stand point. He is a good interior lineman and that contract would reflect such. Byrd will command a little more if he has another solid year. he was involved in 6 turnovers last season. 3 int 3 forced fumbles. This plus his 2009 9 int year, will have some teams wanting to bid for his services if he hits the open market. Bills should try to extend these two during the season.

I have been thinking this for like 3 years now. But somehow they keep chugging along. It really is a testament to them. Until Brady slows down, i do not think they will. And trust me i do not like Brady at all. To me he is the least 'football' guy there is playing in the NFL. But the guy is a great talent

If he does, i doubt they will be able to re-sign him. They already have a ton of money invested in D-line. Byrd, Levitre are the most important. Urbik would be nice, and if his salary matches his play average to solid, then yes resign him. The rest are crap shoots. Its all about what they and their agents think they are worth vs what Buffalo does/can afford.

Just 4 years ago KC only had 10. Wow i did not realize that. 4-5 sack avg a game would be huge. I know there is a stat somewhere about sacks and corelation to drives ending. I think you get roughly on avg around 8 possesions a game.

Why you think it is Bull. He came into TENN and turned their year around. Starting with us a few years ago. The guy is a winner and is liked by his teammates, from what i have heard. My point is, Thigpen has not looked good at all as a Bill. He had one year under Gailey in KC, other then that, what can you say about the guy? IF Young can learn the playbook, he has way more potential then Thigpen, way more. And it is not even Potential, the guy has won in this league multiple years. Can we say that about Thigpen?

Even ini the second one, the Giants Dline was all over him. And for those who bring up the point about other teams not being able to beat NE, i say this- IF, and big IF, Buffalo wins both against NE, i can not wait to see what they do to the rest of the league. NE is the model for what the NFL wants- pass happy teams. Buffalo is trying to counter that.

It is possible. Maybe find a college that would let them use a practice field(s)/facilities. Not sure how to look at that one. On one hand, Jet Lag/time change comes into play. On the other you keep the guys away from their families for a week? Pro's and Con's?

They have an entire year to look at. Fitz played in Gailey's system last year. So if he starts out good it is not because teams didn't have film on him. That is just silly to say

To me this sounds more like VY then Thigpen. The guy has a certain charisma about him when he is 'on'. Like you said, hopefully at worst it would be for a few games, then you just need a QB the players WANT to rally around. VY gets the nod in that dept, dont you think?

Great Guy. Loved Watching him and Seymour play at UGA. He had a good year+ with the Bills. Seeing more guys realize it is time to hang it up now then ever. I am sure the concussion epedemic is playing into this some. Also players are maybe getting smarter with their money now?

After watching the Hargrove video i am completely amazed at these guys. Do they not realize how deep they are digging the hole? Sorry but i will take Roger Goodell's word over theirs any day of the week. What possibly does he have to gain from this??? These guys are complete and utter fools. This is one instance where Hargrove and Vilma hope that people will listen to them and believe them. Not me. Good luck if you do. You also must believe in many more comspiracy theories.

If Fitz throws for 3500 yds 25 td and 12 interceptions, the playoff drought is over. Sprinkle in FJ and Spiller combining for around 2000yds and 15td. On D have two lineman with double digit sacks. I don't care who it is. The secondary will lead the league in interceptions. Look for Byrd to go back to his ballhawking days and get 6 int.

Pretty straight forward. Nothing new. I am not overly concerned with all the hype Buffalo is getting. I do not think they will let it go to their head. Having started 5-2 they know you can never count on anything till you have it in the NFL. This team will be focused and ready to prove everyone right. Gailey being a veteran HC also has seen preseason hype a time or two, and knows it means nothing until you play. Really when you see this stuff from national guys it is more of a 'tip your hat' to the front office. They went out and mave great moves. Now the coaches and players have to produce.

Due to the Anti Trust you get sports and government mixed up

personally i think you get rid of face masks all together and watch concusions go down big time. It the false sense of security they provide that lends guys to lead with their head. Having said that, nice unique desing.

If the Bills got meachem, would they also been able to get Anderson? And which one would you rather of had?

NYC population is 8mil+ Buffalo population is 260,000 roughly. Do the math.

The Bills have proven they will pay players who deserve it- play well, team guys, not often injured. Levitre has all those qualities, so it would really come down to his expectations vs the Bills. The Bills would like to sign him but they can not over pay for him. To me i do not think he is a Ben Grubbs or Carl Nicks. Maybe just a shade below them. And the fact that he had to play every position last year is more an indictment on the lack of quality depth the Bills had and amount of injuries.

Think of Kelsay like your home or auto insurance. you hate paying for it, buy glad you have it when you need it.

Is $120mil the current cap? They will definatly cut a couple guys making $3mil+ i am sure before the end of camp. I could see them extending some guys then. But to be honest the Bills set the precedent with Stevie, Fitz, Jackson, and Chandler that if you play you will get paid. So i do not think the same pressure is on them like before to try and lock their guys up too early.

Thanks for those stats on Graham. Nice kick return average too in college 23 yds. He should find the field one way or the other for the Bills this year.

This would freak Bills fans out, if it came true. Basically sounds exactly like the kind of owner who would move the Bills in a heartbeat. I hope it is all just rumors and hearsay.
