Ralph has to get above the salary cap floor somehow. Let's not make this anything more than it is.
No he doesnt...he doesnt have to until 2013.
-
Do we not care about him being a 4-3 end without a position on our team, are we hoping he can play OLB, or are we banking on switching to the 43 with this proposed trade?
When you have a talent like him, you run your D to his strengths. More importantly, we are going to be a hybrid of sorts bouncing between 4-3 and 3-4...he can line up DE in 4-3 and OLB in 3-4...

I agree, if the Bills weren't a good bet to get a top 5 pick again in 2012, but were expected to be in the 20's or so, it would make sense. Our pick is going to be too high for him.
Trade a second round pick that escalates to a first if our pick is lower than say 15.

Has there ever been a worse fit for a team in NFL history? I mean Al Davis always wants to stretch the field and go deep, and Trent is the anti-deep game who handicaps and pussifies an offense
-
As Bills fans, we get a little desperate sometimes. With dog, well that was borderline scary.
Tell me about it...with Trent, it made me so desperate for a QB that I would have taken just about anyone over that wuss. His pussiication of this team and offense was nauseating and I couldnt have sat though a whole year of it again if they didnt cut him last year. Thank god they made the move to Fitz early in the season. Fitz has his short comings, but at least he shows the ability to play and hopefully improve those this year and he is light years better than Trent and at least has the balls to play the game.

Wow, great find. Creepy looking pic. That look on his face is a pretty clear indication that when he isn't crushing on Trent he's lying motionless at the bottom of the ball pit at Chuck E Cheese waiting for unsuspecting children. I bet he'll be eating stale brownies and talking with Chris Hansen soon.
This had me rolling as I thought the same thing about his pic.He flipped out on me one day about that. He was throwing insult after insult at me and some others, and just kept ranting over and over again about gibberish. So, I saw his pic and told him that if he wanted to people to take him seriously that he should change it as it looked like an ad for members of N.A.M.B.L.A especially since he also had a pic a stuffed animal bunny (kid bait) and a pic of a naked guys back from the waste up also on his profile. It was pretty funny, and it still looks like he is a member of N.A.M.B.L.A.
Like the time he claimed that Trent had a 5" taint? 1. How would he know? and B. is that even good? That was just weird.
He said that? Holy ****, that is creepy. -
dog14787 is to Trent as Alphadawg7 is to Brohm.
I had too!!!
LOL, nice one.
Well, in my defense, I never made any claims of any kind about Brohm like others were doing, all I did was argue for him to get a chance to play before we labeled him a bust. He did, and he blew...case closed. Funny thing is, it pretty much came from just begging to get someone else out there other than Trent. Considering Fitz didnt beat out Trent (who was awful), I figured best option was to roll with the guy who recently was a high draft pick and had not yet really played. Dog on the other hand just gushed over Trent, made him out to be some great player that he was not, lied or exaggerated things about him, etc.
-
I haven't been reading or paying much attention to the Stadium Wall lately but I have noticed that dog14787 stopped posting. When I searched him/her, the account is not active anymore. Is he okay? If nothing serious happened to him then was it ever confirmed that he was Trent or his sister? He/she took Trent criticisms so personally that there is no other explanation. Thanks.
HA...that guy. I had a few run ins with him for sure...it was funny, he had sent me some messages to my inbox too about Trent and noticed that the senders account was no longer active. It was a little creepy that on more than one occasion he kept trying to goat me into giving out personal info about myself like name and location. He is the reason I literally keep that all private outside of just the city I live in.
The best part about him was how he would insult everyone constantly who just didn't share the same man crush on Trent, however would literally get his panties in a wad and flip out if anyone dare say anything to him that he felt was insulting.
His rambles were so crazy and out there that it literally became comical...I think my personal favorite (and there were many) was when he invented, and admittedly so, a second phantom concussion to Trent later in the season when we won just one game after starting 6-2 to explain how bad he was...good times. Maybe he is still here under a different name
he is on the Buffalobills.com message board
Im pretty sure he left because of me
HA, I was going to say the same thing...he did have a lot of posters here he would try and rumble with about Trent.
-
Kelsay is the Bills' version of Tim Connolly. Addition by subtraction. He can't leave soon enough, but the Bills management seems to love him for some reason.
Because he is not as bad as Bills fans make him out to be...is he worth his contract...No he is not. However he is also isn't even close to the worst player on this defense like fans seem to want to make him out to be. On a good defense he would be a solid rotational player. Unfortunately we are not a good defense, at least not yet, and that means he unfortunately has to start on this team when he is better suited to be a rotational player.
I don't see him being cut this year, however I think if our young guys start to develop he could be a casualty next off season as the young guys will cost less and have way more upside. Plus, he is supposedly a good leader and locker room guy, and with the young defensive prospects on this team, that also has value...at least for this season.
-
and all those FA pieces are crumbling in NY...
They also need to try to keep Holmes or Edwards at WR.
Good news for the Bills as this team dissolves.
If memory serves me, they made the AFC Championship Game for the 2nd year in a row without him...
As far as them losing a WR, I think it will be worse for us if they lose Edwards because I think they will replace him with R. Moss and I don't care what happened last year, Moss is better than Edwards all day long and from what is being said is in amazing shape with a chip on his shoulder with something to prove...last time that happened he set the record for NFL TD's. Sanchez is no Brady by any means, but all Sanchez has to do is throw it up for him and I think their offense, at least this year, will be better with Moss in there over Edwards.
Too bad for Kris though, he was a beast and had his career cut short with those severe injuries.
-
The moment I read we cut Trent Edwards...I was ecstatic
-
theres an article on pft quoting a gm as basically saying dont just grab mega stars, its a deep year where you can add a ton of really talented core guys.... it sounded like it couldve been nix honestly.
Not nix...article said it was a long time GM, that's not nix
-
With Kolb gone and Vick out with his inevitable injury, we will see how clever Marty Morninwig is.
People forget just how good Steve Young was...
-
I think back to the SD Chargers of the early 1980s: Dan Fouts, Charlie Joiner, John Jefferson, Wes Chandler, Kellen Winslow (plus Chuck Muncie and James Brooks). One heck of a fun team to watch, but 0 championships.
Good point...counter point would be that NE came within one fluke catch by David Tyree on his helmet from a perfect season with a Pro Bowl QB, WR, WR...add another 2 Pro Bowlers in any combo of RB, WR, and TE and NE runs the score up that SB and NY is never in position to win on a fluke throw and even flukier catch that prevented the game from ending and allowed Eli to throw the game winning TD a moment later.
-
Theoretically, a QB, WR, WR, WR, and TE would mean we must have the most prolific passing offense in NFL history and probably go undefeated...or even a QB, WR, WR, TE, and RB.
But based on the realm of what is more possible...
QB - obvious (if our QB is making probowl, then OL is fine...no need to have a pro bowler on it, just a solid unit)
MLB - Need someone to lead the D and stop the run
DL - Interior line sets the tone for the D
S - Pro Bowl safety can change an entire D and game
WR - I dont care how good your team is, there are always key points in a game where you need a WR to come up big and make a play.
-
Far "LESSER?" First of all, Tom Brady had an all pro offensive line and better coaching. Sure Manning had Wayne and Harrison, but that's pretty much all he had on offense. I'd rather take an all-pro offensive line and good WRs than a below average offensive line and an all pro WR duo any day.
Stop bullshtting me. Brady with far less talent? Give me a break.
This post is hilarious...one, because you for some reason got your panties in a wad as if you were off your meds, and two, the way you down play Harrison and Wayne as if they are just all pro receivers and the only weapons he has had.
Harrison is a future first ballot HOF'er and Wayne is on his way to a similar career and eventual HOF if he keeps this up a few more years. D. Clark is also an elite TE who could see his bust in the HOF if he recovers from his injury and keeps playing the way he had been. Not to mention, Edge has HOF credentials as well. Manning has had elite weapons every year he has been in the league while Brady won 3 SB's with scrubs who's WR's, TE's, and RB's would have been no better than back ups in Indy. NE has been made up of cast offs from other teams, undersized players, and lesser talented people at the skill positions up until 2007 when Brady already had 3 SB trophies on his resume.
Second, the fabled NE offensive line is made to look great by Brady. When Cassel was QB, the Pats gave up the most sacks in the NFL. The year before and the year after Brady was hardly touched behind the same line. Brady is literally one of the best QBs in the league (if not the best) in pocket mobility and buying himself time against the rush by using his elite footwork to maneuver inside the pocket in order to complete the play. Even without his pro bowl LT he still made the OL look good.
Third, Indy's OL isn't as bad as you want to make it out to be over Mannings career and many would argue his has been better than NE's considering how many fewer sacks Indy gives up...plus the perennial pro bowl weapons and future HOF weapons he has had. What a joke that is...talk about BS'ing

Do you consider Brady a better QB than Marino was?
Yes, I do think Brady is better than Marino. Marino is a product of longevity and a fast start. Yes, he is an all time great QB, and he came out of the gate on fire as a young QB. However, the bulk of Marino's career did not mirror the prolific passer he is known for. It's not like he was known as a champion...his legend is centered around being a prolific passer, however his best years all came in his first 5 seasons. After that, his seasons were mostly good, not great. Not to mention, Marinos playoff stats are well below his regular season stats. His career playoff passer rating is 77.1 with a career playoff completion % of 56% with obviously no Superbowls.
Marino is an all time great, but to me he was always over rated and wasn't strong in the playoffs. I would take Brady over Marino every day of the week. Manning is often compared to Marino, but for me Manning is better than Marino and I would take Manning any day of the week over Marino too.

Tom Brady Playoff stats - 637 attempts, 4108 yds, 28 TDs, 15 INT, 6.5 y/a, 62% completion, 85.5 rating
Peyton Manning Playoff stats - 692 attempts, 5164 yds, 28 TDs, 19 INT, 7.5 y/a, 62.9%, 87.6 rating.
Did Brady REALLY outplay Manning? REALLY?
Lets see, 3 Superbowl's with far lesser offensive talent to one for Manning. Manning has not had the kind of playoff consistency Brady has had. Totals are for people who want to hide the truth. He is still Peyton Manning, his totals will always look good. Every game was not bad, his issue is (and this is common knowledge, not an assumption) that too many times he and the Colts dominated the regular season only to see them exit early from the playoffs after an un-Manning like performance. Brady and his squads more often won the games they were supposed to win, but also won the games they were not supposed to win like the three SB games. In almost every instance of the Colts being eliminated in the playoffs, it was a game they were supposed to win and did not, and in multiple of those games Manning played below the standards he had been playing at all year.
Honestly, I would even take Kurt Warner over Manning if I needed to win a game in the playoffs. Dont get me wrong, Manning is an amazing QB and I would drool for a week if we got him on our team. But we are comparing two 100% first ballot HOF QB's and for me Brady has been the edge as he has proven to win more and win with less talent.

According to veteran receiver Derrick Mason, it's not even close.
"What player do I kick off a team and it changes that team dramatically? I only know one player and it’s Peyton Manning,” Mason said. “You take Tom Brady off New England they showed that they can go 11-5. Now you take Peyton Manning off the Colts I don’t know where that teams goes offensively.”
1. You dont think people said the same thing about Brady before the he went down with a back up QB who had not started since HS? No one would have ever predicted 11-5 without Brady, so how can anyone say the colts who still are loaded with offensive talent couldnt pull something similar off?
2. This argument is a bit silly since Matt Cassel has proven to be a pretty good QB. Its not like some scrub took them to 11-5, it was a QB who was thought to be a scrub prior to stepping on the field, then proved he could handle the job they asked him to do.
So all this stuff about how Cassel led NE to 11-5 as evidence Manning is better is silly IMO. Brady has out played Manning in the post season with FAR lesser talent on the offense. Manning has had multiple future HOF offensive weapons his whole career, where Brady didnt get a real offensive weapon until 2007 after he already won 3 SB's.

Interesting comparison between Manning & Brady and reasons why Manning is number 1.
Throughout Brady's career he has had the advantage of playing with some pretty good defenses whearas Manning has been handicapped and therefore forced to compensate for a crap defense.
Brady Career Average
9 Seasons 2001-2007,2009-2010.
New England NFL Offensive Average Rank 6.3 in Points Scored, 10.4 in Yards For.
Points Scored Per Game 26.6
New England NFL Defense Average Rank 6.9 in Points Against 15.0 in Yards Against.
Points Against Per Game 17.8
Average Margin of Victory 8.8
23 4th Quarter Comebacks and 32 Game Winning Drives
Manning Career Average
13 Seasons 1998-2010
Indianapolis NFL Offensive Average Rank 6.1 in Points Scored, 5.7 in Yards For.
Points Scored Per Game 26.1
Indianapolis NFL Defensive Average Rank 15.5 in Points Against, 17.4 in Yards Against.
Points Against Per Game 21.4
Average Margin of Victory 4.7
35 4th Quarter Comebacks and 46 Game Winning Drives
Conclusion: Manning has had to move the ball much greater distances to score an equivalent number of points. Additionally Manning has been subject to closer games which has exposed him to more pressure situations and having to come from behind more often than Brady.
No offense, but your logic is greatly flawed. Here is why:
1. You down play Brady's success because of a better defensive cast, yet you make no account the substantially better offensive cast Manning has had, which just happens to be on the same side of the ball both players are on given they are QB's. Brady has 3 SB's with receivers, running backs, and TE's that would struggle to make the roster in INDY, let alone start. Yes, defense helps win games, no denying that. However, Manning had the much more talented offense for the bulk of his career and yet Brady puts up similar numbers and even averages more points per game, and considering your argument that Manning has to score more, that further strengthens Brady's case.
3. Which brings me to the next point...Brady averages a half point more per game, yet your argument is about how Manning had to produce more being his defense is weaker. So if Manning is having to pass and attack more, shouldn't his scoring average be higher, especially considering the substantially better offensive players Manning has had (Edge, Harrison, Wayne, Clark, etc.)? I mean, Harrison and Wayne are destined for the HOF, probably Clark too if he keeps producing like he has a few more years, and Edge is a candidate too. Brady didn't get any real talent on his offense until 2007, after he won 3 SB's.
4. Manning has for the bulk of his career been a guy who's play decreased in the playoffs and he has not been a stellar post season QB. Prior to the SB run, all the talk was about his personal post season struggles. Yes, he pulled it all together for the SB, but in most seasons he has not been at the same level in the post season as he was in the regular season. Brady's post season resume is better from a team stand point and an individual stand point and has proven to be a winner even when a large under dog.
5. You point out the more 4th qtr comebacks and more game winning drives for Manning, but fail to point out its only because Manning has played 13 full seasons to Bradys 9. If you average them out, the both essentially average 2.5 4th qtr comebacks a season and 3.5 game winning drives a season.
Some one else said this and was spot on...if you want to win a Fantasy Football game, Manning slightly edges out Brady. If you want to win the SB, Brady is the proven winner who just wins games. Brady has done more with less in his career, and for me, that's the difference.

In one league I am "Big Ole TD's" the other I am "Aslap2daface" so every time they lose they lose to "Aslap2daface".
2 seasons ago I won the championship and beat this whiny guy whos nickname is Emo who always thinks he gets screwed and tries to change rules to win the championship. He b*tched all off season so I renamed my team "Spent Emo's money on coke and hookers" just to piss him off for the next season...it worked

Hope that answers your question!
Seriously though it should answer your question in 2 ways.
1) Marshawn is good. Quit being a hater. I can't fathom why Fred Jackson supporters don't think Lynch was a good RB. For one he was better at getting into the end zone than Fred. Lynch supporters don't think Jackson sucks. Why the hate? (Usually displayed with some kind of amazement as to why everyone else couldn't see that Lynch was the devil incarnate and Fred Jackson a sure fire hall of famer)
2) The second answer I didn't want to believe myself. He was potentially being show cased for a trade. The fact that you see him in a new uniform is proof of that. You can't get good value out of a guy on the bench.
You need to move on from this one TD run...there is a list a mile long of players that made a spectacular play, but that did not make their overall play good. Lynch averaged 3.5 yards per carry, a very poor number, for the Seahawks last season and was seen as a busted trade just about the entire time until this one run. In the playoffs, outside of this one great play, and it was a great play, he averaged just 3 yards per carry and followed this great run up with a whopping 2 total yards in the next game where Sea was eliminated from the playoffs.
Everyone gets it was a great run, but he did not have a great season, never reached his potential in Buffalo either where FJ consistently was the more effective back at running, pass blocking and receiving. As part of a duo, Lynch saw more goal line carries because his strength was leg power, but FJ was always more productive on the same team behind the same OL.
Lynch has not lived up to expectations based on his physical attributes or his draft position. Not to mention all his off field stuff. He needs to come out and prove he can be better than what he showed thus far in this next season, or it just might be his last as a starter. He has been in this league too long to not be hitting the holes better. His tendency to dance behind the line or stall to find a home run play is what kills his consistency and is something rookies struggle with, not 4 year Vets with as many touches as he has had. Watch how FJ explodes through holes and creases in comparison to Lycnh and you will see what FJ has been far more effective thus far.

I hope that's not it..... I like the color scheme but that buffalo looks tiny.....
If you look at the leaked Madden images, the Buffalo is rather large and the Madden games usually are pretty accurate in their designs on details like that. This leaked helmet is a little toy helmet with a sticker on it. I bet the larger logo from the Madden leaked images are more accurate.
-
I'd prefer that we win every game, he complete every pass and ever 5th pass be a touchdown.
But then again, that's not realistic.
He had a rating of 106.9 that week. I don't see why that isn't "good enough". Sure, two turnovers don't help at all, but those type of stats will not lose games on a regular basis if the rest of the team plays equally as well.
Maybe I'm misreading the posts here... but I think most people acknowledge that this was a *good* game by Fitzpatrick and better than how he normally does.
Take a breather, man.
Whereas I agree, statistically, Fitzpatrick has been pretty mediocre at best... you can't say things like this, but then turn around and don't give him any credit for good games. If you *only* count bad performances for any player, they look incredibly bad.
Fitzpatrick, imo, is better than Trent and JP.
Is that good enough? Probably not. We don't have the talent on this team to win with a mediocre to possibly good QB. But at the same time, should we release him, tar and feather him, for doing the job he's been asked to do? Your call I guess.
I hear ya, and I do give him credit for his good traits and his good games. Like I said, I like the guy and the positives he brings by the way he leads and plays with guts and grit. The problem I have is when people take a game like Balt, a losing effort, and now create some kind of folklore about the guy as if he went on to have a great season. And yes, there are many supporters arguing how great his season was and how his flaws are everyone else's fault.
I am not trying to say Balt was not a good effort by him, but I am also not the ones trying to turn the Balt game into some legendary game, a game we lost where he contributed to that loss.
Everyone remember Frank Reich? In the playoffs, he led the single greatest NFL comeback of all time for us while going 12 for 16 with 3 TD's and 260 yards in the 2nd half. I think we can pretty much all agree this was not the norm for Frank Reich, yet he still did it. Fitz comes out and goes way outside his norm and puts up gaudy stats against Balt and people elevate him up to be more than he is because of this game...a player he was not before that game, and a player he was not for the most part in the 9 games following Balt to end the season.
I am just tired of hearing about one game, one we lost that he factored into that loss, as if it erases the rest of the season where he was below average or out right bad in the majority of his games. He is still light years better than Trent, no denying that, but being better than Trent does not mean it was good enough.
Its all good though, I hope the lockout ends and we have a season so he gets the chance to prove the doubters wrong. I would love nothing more than to see him do that, I just don't have much faith he will based on the body of work.
Evans traded to Baltimore
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted · Edited by Alphadawg7
Yeah there was news that an undisclosed team was close to trading for him yesterday, and figured it was the Ravens as it made the most sense. Mark my words, Lee will be a stud there and I expect something like 80 catch, 1200 yds, 8 to 10 TD season for him. Merry X-Mas Flacco, Christmas just came early as now you have one of the best in traffic WR's in Boldin and an explosive game changing deep threat. I am actually happy for Lee even though I hate to see him go.
