Good points. I like Trent Edwards just like I liked Losman, but Edwards hasn't really shown anything yet either, and his reign as the "Franchise" could soon be coming to an end too if he doesn't produce this year. At this point, I don't see where he has done any better than Losman has. He has played weaker schedules with the same results. If Losman hadn't gotten hurt on a cheap shot by Vince Wilfork (who got fined for it), Edwards might still be a #2 or #3 qb on ours or someone else's roster.

When was the last time a quarterback was taken in the first round by any team and there wasn't hype? Simple answer is never, it comes with the territory. His play was similar to Rob Johnson actually, tons of talent but couldn't cut out the mistakes. His attitude was worlds better than Johnson's though.

I don't think I feel sorry for any professional athlete who has made millions of dollars playing a game. With that said, I have nothing negative to say about J.P. as a person or as a citizen of Western New York. He has all the talent in the world, and was without a doubt a First Round bust for the Bills, but I too hope he catches on somewhere. He did get juggled around alot, never had any stability on the offensive coaching stafff and his progress was screwed up by Mularkey, when every time he had a bad quarter, he would get yanked and replaced by Kelly Holcomb. If there is any positive take on Jauron staying in Buffalo, it is at least there is consistency on the coaching staff (might be the only positive take, but that is a different post). Rumor has it that J.P. is going to be one of the 4 starting quarterbacks in the new UFL, which hopefully will open some teams eyes for him if he can get his head straight. I am a little surprised that no team has at least interviewed him considering his age, raw talent and the fact that he would come cheap now.

I noticed that, and it actually says he will sign and be the #2-tell him he is a #2 anywhere and he will throw a fit and leave. It won't take him long to notice though that Evans is the #1 around here and that is when the do-do will hit the fan and the real "T.O. Show" will start.

I think all along the Bills are hoping that James Hardy ends up being the #2, and his injury had a big part in signing T.O. to a one year contract. In my opinion their wishful plan is to have Hardy behind Owens for a year and move into, or at least compete with Steve Johnson for the #2 position next year. No way is T.O. back in Buffalo next year, not going to happen.

The Dolphins changed their coaching staff around more than they did their roster. 85% of the roster was the same, 100% of the coaching staff was changed, and that is the biggest reason for their turn around (not all but most of it). That is what the Bills need too.

I kinda get the feeling that his wife knew about the girlfriend (this post was the first time I heard her called a mistress) of two months. The Escalade she was pulled over in was registered to both of them, someone wouldn't normally put a secret mistress' name on a registration. The whole neighborhood knew he frequented that condo too, so he didn't keep it a secret. I would guess they were separated, otherwise he might have been a little more discreet about the girlfriend.

Do you have a clue? If you are tired of hearing about how terrible the Bill's coaching is, you better go live in a cave. Until the coaching staff changes, the talk won't change, and it shouldn't. How do you credit the coaching staff for getting T.O., drafting Maybin, Poz tackling, or anthing else you said? How can you say that we had a "great draft" when they haven't even put pads on yet, much less played a single game. And even if it turns out to be a great draft, how do you credit the coaches. Sounds like you need to break out the book "Football 101" and get reading.

In my opinion (and that is what this board is for believe it or not), it was. Never a big fan of their sweaters, just because their history is so amazing, doesn't make them the best unis. Actually, the Rangers and Bruins are better than Montreal in my opinion.

I totally agree on both. In my opinion the current uni's are the worst in the history of both the Bills and the Sabres. I love the throwbacks for the Bills and like the Kelly era uniforms too. The Sabres are a joke with their uniforms, I personally loved the Black ones before this disaster, thought they were the best jerseys in the NFL.

There is no questioning that for sure, but none of it would have worked if Thurman wasn't the complete threat that he was.

Any successful team (and we aren't that yet) that doesn't have a quarterback of the quality of Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Kurt Warner,-and we are no where close to that, the featured running back has to get it the most.

I was beginning to wonder if that was really their last name, because there wasn't any humor in that remark at all.

Do you post anything that makes sense? Because one person (or people) decide to buy seasons tickets, it results in other people paying $75 a ticket which in turn results in a 7-9 team? I would ask you to explain, but there is no way in this universe that there could be a reasonable explanation for a baseless comment like that.

By far the least is the O-Line, maybe one of the worst in the NFL. Close runner up for least is QB, especially backup, although not total confidence in Trent Edwards yet. Potential does not equal confidence.

Trade Whitner and replace him with whom? There is more to being a defensive back than just interceptions. Often, defensive schemes don't put safetys in a position to make interceptions. Is Whitner the best safety in the NFL? No. Is he as good as Ed Reed? No. Is he in the top 25% of safeties in the NFL? I would easily say yes. You obviously don't know a whole lot about defenses or coverage schemes. Just because someone gets open downfield, doesn't mean you have to blame it on the player that was the highest draft pick. Glad you aren't the GM, this team would really be in trouble, more so than it has been.

I agree, he might be getting gray in the beard but he is still a top 5 QB in this league, if not higher. He was an MVP candidate just last year and took maybe the most dismal organization in NFL history to the Superbowl. I would die for the Buffalo organization to have a Kurt Warner no matter what his age. I can't honestly say I wouldn't take Leinart over Noodle Arm Fitzpatrick either.

This isn't a list of underrated players is it? Everett played what 30-40 downs in his whole career before he got injured? Spikes went to what 3 Pro Bowls with the Bills, thats not underrated. Moorman has been All Pro and Pro Bowl-not underrated. Bledsoe's best years, and outside of his first year on the Bills, his only really good years were in the 1990's. Sam Morris is a career backup. Sam Adams went to 4 or 5 Pro Bowls. I would agree with Moulds and London Fletcher without a doubt. I would add Pat Williams to the list, he has been great for most of the decade and never really got recognition until he got to Minnesota. A team that has acheived as little as the Bills have this decade won't have too many underrated players anyway, otherwise the team would have done better than it has. They do have a few that were way overrated though, such as Clements, McGee, Winfield, Jason Peters, Schobel.

My first reaction was to think that they had the Bills about 15 spots too high until I looked at the teams below us on that list, and they are pretty weak. The only team below Buffalo on that list that I think I would put higher than us myself is Tennessee. What a poor state of quarterbacking the NFL is in right now, our QB's are not the greatest bunch, Edwards has a lot of promise, of which he hasn't lived up to much of it yet. Below him is dismal, and it is still better than two thirds of the league.

I don't buy that for a New York second, you are way off base, unless you live on a different planet than I do. Most of the modern Yankee fans (and there are a very few exceptions), their parents weren't even into baseball. The only tradition is jumping on the bandwagon of the winningest teams. Thats why the best fans in the NFL are for the most part from the teams that don't have the bandwagon fans, Buffalo, Cleveland, Kansas City, etc.

Sounds like the guy was making it up as he was typing. When he says "a player "like" Josh Reed", is obviously saying that he chose Reeds name and hadn't read or heard it anywhere. Sounds like a below average reporter desperate for something to report on.

Yankee fans are annoying anywhere they go. 95% of Yankee fans are only Yankee fans because of all the titles they won a decade ago. Mostly front runners, kinda like the Steelers, Patriots and Cowboys fans all over the country that have never even driven through the states that those teams play in, much less spent any time there.

The Blue Jays aren't even an American team. Plus growing up, the Blue Jays were (and still aren't too much) on TV but you could turn on the TV and find the Mets, Yankees, Cubs, Braves almost every day. Plus the Mets now have that stellar AAA team that plays in Buffalo.

A Brady, a Romeo Crennel, a Charlie Weiss, Vrabel and a host of others and a great football mind away from being the next Belichick. Proof: Belichick didn't have Brady last year, except for a few series of downs, and he used a QB with far less experience than any of ours, and still beat our as*es and won 4 more games than we did.

In all seriousness, all any of them do is give their opinions, just like we do here, but they get paid for it. How many teams did Faulk come close to predicting correctly, or is he a loser just because of the way he picks the Bills. If getting the Bills prediction wrong each year means he is an idiot, than Chris Berman must be the absolute biggest idiot on the planet, he predicted us to go to the Superbowl about 10 years running that we didn't go (most of the time didn't even make the playoffs). Even Jaws talks for the sake of talking. How many football fans, even the die hard fans, watch the game and criticize the blocking schemes, the position the cornerbacks eyes are in, or whatever. I am not taking anything away from his knowledge, but he is getting paid to talk, although most fans watch the play and the outcome, not some of the minute details he discusses.
