Now you're just greedy.
No matter what kind of numbers TO puts up, he needs to be gone in 2010. If he puts up 1,500 yards this year... good for him and I hope he gets paid by someone else. Trent will then have enough confidence to know that he's capable of being a winner in this league and we should go after a more team-friendly long term solution if Hardy and/or Jackson hasn't proven worthy of a number 2 spot.

Exactly how I feel.
My only problem is if he implodes and how that effects next season and
more importantly, the ramifications to the franchise for years to come.
I don't think he can personally hurt our team's future any more than an 3-13 season would... being that it's only a one year contract. The key to me is letting him go next season, realizing that we had TO on his best behavior for one season. Expecting anything more is just getting greedy, and it hasn't paid off for any team.
Hopefully he'll be able to mentor Hardy for one season with special emphasis on route running and training for the season.

I'll preface this by saying that I cannot stand TO on a personal level.
That said, I think this is a very good deal for Buffalo.
1) Even at his diminished level, his skills for 6.5 million is a bargain.
2) This provides us with a legitimate guage to judge is Trent Edwards is capable of being our future.
3) It's a one year deal... You don't marry the stripper (even though he'll be capable of showing us love for one season)
4) It makes Buffalo relevant again. When was the last time you can think of the national media talking about us? This will help with future FA signings.
5) It addresses a significant need, and allows us to draft a DE in the first round.

Why sue the Bills? If I'm not mistaken, they don't own the parking lots...
20 minutes seems like an awful long time to get beat by a mob without having to leave in an ambulance.

So not knowing who Jason Babin was exactly, I googled him. His Wikipedia page I found to be interesting.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Babin
If you scroll down to the bottom, it says that he signed with the Bills March 6, 2008, which is clearly untrue. It says he signed a 3 year contract worth 12 million dollars. So I am assuming that it must be a typo because listed right before it is his time in KC. Because the news of him visiting just came out, I am assuming the poster on Wiki must have some kind of inside knowledge to have this up before the news of him visiting was even released. I will be itnerested to see if he signs, specifically for 3yrs/12 mill - anyone is better than Copelan Bryan
The same wikipedia that said that Coles was a member of the Buffalo Bills... I think I'll hold my breath.

Do you really think those are viable options????? The boat fuggin capsized. What good would a covered hatch on the bottom of the boat that opened to a sort of padded bed that has a heater for the padding and several gallons of fresh water that can be sucked out through a straw and a little closed cabinet with some food stored away do????
What would they do. Swim underneath the boat & pry the hatch open under water get in & not let any water in?
I think he meant that the hatch would open from the bottom of the boat... so that when it capsized it would now be above water. It really doesn't seem like that crazy of an idea. Another option would be an inflatable raft. Build a system into a boat that when sensors realize that the boat is upside down, triggers release an inflatable raft.

I renewed even though I live out-of-town. I have been a fan since War Memorial when I was a little kid. Emotionally, I have no choice.
I drive 4.5 hours each way to go... My wife thinks I need an intervention.
-
The list above just goes to show you how dumb it would have been to sign Coles to a $25 mill contract.
You can have your pick of veteran WR's, probably to be signed for a modest two-year deal, and who will be expected to come in and basically keep defenses honest. There are probably ten guys on that list who can do that.
Demetrius Williams... End of Discussion. He'll play hard while he's on the field, and allow Jackson to start the secon half of the season due to injury.
-
Good for him.
-
I think tha 7-9 is imminent
The problem with 7-9 is that it's not bad enough for you to get a Bruce Smith in the draft.

I think it's safe to say that we will not win the AFC East this season, no matter what we do between now and kickoff of Game 1.
I'm sure it sounds pesimistic, but it's also reality. As of this moment in time, we are outmatched in talent by Patriots and Jets, and I don't think there is room for debate.
In my opinion, the best that we can do right now is to solidify both our offensive and defensive lines. If we can establish a running game, it will open up oppurtunities for our passing game. We need to be able to keep our offense on the field longer, so that our defense isn't breaking down late in games.
I'm confident that with a solid pass rush, our defense can be much better than the we were last year... and we weren't terrible last season (14th, if I'm not mistaken). If we're going to contend for a playoff spot this year, it's going to be by out grinding teams...not by out shooting them. We've got two very talented young running backs, lets use them.

Let's see what's been covered:
mandatory CFL reference.. check
mandatory street cleaning reference.. check
mandatory fast food reference.... NOPE
can't you guys think of anything different? in any thread where jp losman is mentioned, you're guaranteed to have all 3 of the above.
EDIT:
He has a tryout with the Toronto Argos. With his lumberjack good looks and love for the environment, he could become the next Canadian Idol... His fall back plan is as doughnut dropper for a Tim Hortons concession stand for the Columbus Destroyers .
-
I don't think Boldin is the drama queen that he's made out to be. On the field he's everything that you can ask for... tough, gets YAC, etc. That said... that's a price tag that we'll never be able meet.
Edwards - He might be a Buy Low, Sell High situation now. He's much better than he played last season. I'm not sure what they're asking for him.. but you're not likely to find his kind of talent in the 4th round or later in the draft.
Toomer and or Harrison - Depending on the price tag, they're nothing more than a one year bridge to Hardy and Jackson becoming the number 2.
Reggie Williams - Just got arrested for DWI and pot, if I'm not mistaken.
Demetrius Williams - I've seen him play a couple times, and I really like him. The problem is that he's always injurred.

INSERT CRICKET NOISES PLEASE

For people who say he's being paid too much, note that money isn't an issue with the Bills and that they're way under the cap. Since the Bengals are too, it's an irrelevant issue for them as well. I'm surprised people here have a problem with spending a plutocrat's money to improve the team. I wasn't a huge proponent of signing Coles, but he's better than what we have. Maybe some other option will come through. Given the circumstances, though, he was probably the best option. I fear that Toomer is simply too slow at this point.
The Cap is not the only issue. The Bills only made 12 million in profit last year from what I understand. Throw in an economic decline, and they're likely to be looking at narrower numbers this year.
-
This actually makes Coles more highly payed then Housyourmama....
Do the bengals realize what they just did?
Oh well........
TJ got 5 years for 40 Mil.
Coles got 4 years for 28 Mil.
-
Too much money... and too long of a contract. I can't say I'm happy that Buffalo didn't get him, but I'm happy they didn't get him at that price.
Onward and upward. Use that money to solidfy the OL. A productive running game will make Edwards a better QB, and Evans, Reed, Jackson better recievers, the same way a high quality DE will make our secondary better on the other side of the ball.
-
He was a victim here. Blame society. Its the blue jeans and that new rock and roll they listen to.
My quick Travis Henry story...
I once heard that he was turned down for $10,000 credit from a furniture store while he was with the Bills due to bad credit and high child support payments. If I remember correctly, he made $750k that season.
-
I agree, we'll still need to find a solid #2 reciever for 2009 or this offense will continue to sputter.
Demetrius Williams - End of Discussion
-
I do not know if he was a total bust here.
Noone & I mean noone can pick a candbar wrapper off the street like one Jonathan Paul Losman.
Paul Gaustad can... and while doing it he's still a productive member of a non-playoff caliber team.
-
Our team is the end of the line for WR's, name one that left Buffalo and had any level of success??
Moulds put up over 500 yards in Houston and over 300 in Tennessee.
Chris Walsh left after the 1993 season and continued to play in the league until 2002... (notice I said play)
Don Beebe had one good year of over 700 yards for Green Bay
Chris Burkett left in 1989 and had 5 productive seasons with the Jets
Bob Chandler put up 786 yards in 1981 for Oakland, and followed it with over 400 the next season.
Ahmad Rashad
Other than that it's pretty amazing how no WR has ever left here as anything more than a kick returner.
-
He's waiting to hear back from the Department of Environmental Conservation... I'm not sure if he's looking to clean up Brown Field Sites or just plant trees... his true passion in life.
Either way, I wish him well.
-
New owner, new front office, new coaches, new scouts, new players but the same old hard headed fans that stick with them through all the low quality crap they throw at us can stay.
Realistically - We would need to trade Lee Evans and use the extr 9 million to shore up our offensive live with legitimate NFL lineman. At least that way we run effectively and allow Edwards time to read the field. At best we're a mediocre offense at that point. Reed, Jackson, Roscoe and Hardy... that sounds about like Jacksonville WR core. Lynch and Freddy behind a real line could put up good numbers.
We'd need to catch lightning in a bottle and draft an absolute Rookie of the Year for our definsive line. Our defense would have to be the best in the league to make up for our weak offense.
Brady would need to bust his knee again.
-
What about seeing if Roscoe can throw a ball?
If the draft were to play out this way
