Steely Dan's richard is so small that he pees on his balls.
C.Biscuit has been having an affair with Cornelius Bennett since 1997. He attempts to keep this little known fact in the closet by claiming he is a ladies man.

I understand there was a need to vent after last season - it's time to end the catharsis...
Senator - well said.
However, if you are looking for people to say the glass is now half full the Bills organization has offered little reason to do so - so far. We have the same exact coaching staff, there have been some additions by subtraction (Dockery, Royal and Losman), there is an effort to lock up your best o-lineman in time to focus on the season (a hotly contested issue on this board) and there have been tinkering moves through FA. Hard to say the Bills have moved the needle.
I will agree the Bills have not gotten worse. I'll repeat what I have said in other posts. Almost none of this (plus the draft) matters unless the following three things are true next season:
- Trent Edwards has to take a major step forward. The defense is not good enough to carry the team (though they were much better last season).
- Very much related to number one ... our offensive coordinator needs to play to the strenght of his players and not hold a artificial belief that gameplans and playcalling is a process devoid of creativity. Stop blaming the players and either coach them so they can execute or change your plans to plays that are more likely to be succesful.
- Our defensive line has to generate QB pressure and as a result turnovers.
As sick as it makes me to say it, one could argue that the fins did all three of the above last season and saw a huge turnaround.

GRRRR!
Shoulda been ME!
I had plans for that dough!!!
Steely not saying this is you .... with that out of the way ...
Sadly, statistics show that a large percentage of the American public believes that the road to riches is paved with lottery tickets or winnings from a lawsuit. What happened to belief in hard work, investing, saving and building?

Maybe if they had positioned the picture so that you'd have to walk between her legs to get on the plane. ....

Sign Coles, don't sign Coles. Leonhard sucks, I can't believe the Jets signed Leonhard and we didn't. Extend Peters, or don't. Jauron needs to go, he deserves another year. Trent is our savior, Trent is just as bad as JP. Sign a backup QB, oh no - we signed Fitzpatrick. Bills better get moving and sign some FAs, I can't believe the bums we're signing.
I am baffled - the overall tone of TSW these days seems to be, no matter what the Bills front office does, basically we are destined to still suck.
True or False?
I would say while free agency period has not closed and the draft is yet to come it is hard to see how the Bills can definitively say they are better today than they were at the end of the season last year. Don't get me wrong, I am positive about what I see so far but I am hard pressed to present supportable arguments about why they are better.
At the end of the day (weeks) while there is much chatter about free agents and the draft I think the Bills success or lack thereof will come from the following three areas next season:
- The most important is that Trent Edwards has to take a big step forward in his play. The board has been alive with discussion about a #2 receiver given the Coles situation. This is window dressing. Edwards has to make his receivers better through improvement in his game. Arguably, the Fins turned it around last year through improved QB play the Bills will need to see much of the same.
- Next is improvement from our offensive coordinator, Schonert. He had his "training wheels" season last year. Too often he seemed to want the players to conform to his system and there was not enough thought about change(s) to the system to improve the players odds of success.
- Finally, our defensive line has to improve. Maybe we pick up a DT or DE in the draft, maybe Schobel returns to form, maybe Ellis is a mystery man that will have a breakout season ... point is many "maybe pieces" in this equation.
Time will tell.
Look for prognosticators to put us at the bottom of the division - again.

I don't refute that he tried to do right by this city, and I
commend him for that. Just wish he did pan out as a
QB for this team.
A fair way to sum up the situation.

SI: Tuck's Take
Decent article on the mindset of NFL players when they get a big guaranteed contract.
Pretty stinging article .... shows why signing big name FA's is risky.
-
I'm confused by the title of this thread. "Robert Royal offered a contract in Cleveland"? A contract for doing what?
Playing poorly same as in Buffalo.

A Bills fan and a Browns fan talking smack to each other. Kinda like two girls at fat camp arguing about who is hotter.
you just insulted me and my friend ..... 
....but the comment was funny

KC: Apparently Waters is available and looking to get a replacement for LJ possibly.
I think you are reading way too much into the situation. Oman is unproven. You have to assume Lynch could be out for as many as 4 games. You have to have depth on your roster at the position at least two deep and probably three. RB's are prone to injury. I think the Bills are just looking at insurance and being mindful that Lynch is not going to be available for all 16 games (maybe they get lucky and he is but safe assumption is that he will be out for at least two maybe four)

Considering his blocking skills and ability to run after the catch, and if we have Coles as a number 2, could we then move Reed into the role of a classic right halfback in the wing-t or a wing back in singleback sets?
Reed is a former running back and has the ability to get open in space quickly. He is not incredibly fast, but he is agile and has great hands. As his career progresses, he has taken on more of a Hines Ward role as a blocker and underneath receiver in close formations. We have versatile players with our two small and fast tight ends, running backs that can catch, and a quarterback who can spread the ball around and throw accurately underneath.
Who else can see an offense that draws players in close to the line of scrimmage and spreads the defense, but still retains the ability to run the ball? Like New England does so successfully with Whelker and receiving halfbacks/fullbacks, we could open up a world of playaction and quick hitting draws.
We could use jackson in the role of an offset back in flexible spread formations also, like St. Loius did so successfully with Marshall Faulk. Tell me what you think, gentlemen.
Given the fact that Reed is already notorious for being a workout fanatic and at his age he is not likely going to add that kind of weight to himself (he could just add fat I suppose but not a smart move). Your idea has no legs

Henry, McGahee (who at least wasn't in legal trouble) and Marshawn. At least they were all very productive at one point. I mean on the field for Travis.
Henry was very re-productive off the field...

I think he has like 7 or 8 kids.
Total was 9 ... allegedly with 9 different women. Guy was trying to cause a new baby boom. I also read that he is a deadbeat dad mainly because of his criminal problems but also because he has lost most if not all of the money he made in the NFL.
Sad story on many levels mostly for the kids he has spawned.
-
Yep. I agree. I guess you take the good with the bad because Florence is def a step down (at least we'll have Leodis to start opposite Mcgee)
Greer would have been a luxury signing. I would have been happy if the Bills would have retained him but agree with what has been done.

Sorry no link but buddy of mine that is a big Brownies fan sent me this news in an email. I laughed when I read it then called him to laugh at him. I said from K2 to R2 like going from a Ferrari to a yugo.

The problem I have is that if Evans gets hurt, the Bills are SCREWED as it now stands. That's my #1 reason why we need a guy like Coles.
Good post ... agreed when reed went down last year the Bills were shown to be very thin at WR. Johnson came on late in the season so there appears to be upside with him. Not fair to call Hardy a bust yet but ok to say he remains an unknown or unproven player at this point.

So you are sick over a scenario that hasn't even been played out yet?
Only way he knows how to express himself ... attack and be negative ... it's easier than thinking

Happy

Yah you google, I just make a phone call.
Then you wake up ...

With all of the talk about these guys like Cato June and Keith Ellison, etc. I'm wondering what you do with these guys if Jauron is replaced with someone who brings in a 3-4 or another style defense. The Cover 2 is a dying breed so it's likely any new coach would run it but you may be hamstrung with a roster of Cover 2 players. Could Ellison or Bowen play SS in another style defense? What DT's could play end? I'm probably thinking too much about it and I obviously don't want Jauron to fail but judging by past experience...one thing to think about I guess...
As much as many of did not like the fact that jauron and staff remain in Buffalo this is one of the reasons why Ralph Wilson did not make a coaching change. If a new coach comes in there will be a housecleaning. There almost always is.

No one say it.
We should leave him in the dark
missed it

havent heard of hom visiting any teams is there no market for him?
The Bills tendered an offer ... he can't go anywhere else he was an RFA not a UFA.
