Anyone interested in helping me out with a slingbox? I'll buy the slingbox, you make sure the slingbox is turned on and programed to the correct channel on game day. I would be forever greatful to you. GO BILLS!

Bah, minor details

THERE IS ! ! ! Haven't you been following the news? All they need to do is make a quick trip to Argentina!

I would say that Hardy and Parrish are very likely to remain Buffalo Bills- and rightly so. Parrish is at the very least an top punt returner whom a coach with some offensive prowess could make into a Wes Welker type of player. Hardy is basically entering his second season and for the first time playing for a coach who actually has a clue

Most definately. We're trendsetters

What you are talking about is arbitration. Arbitration is a legal means of settling disputes where a 3rd, neutral party (the arbitrator) takes all the facts into consideration and tries to make the best decision possible. The arbitrator's decision is final (unless there is some exotic means to overide). Often in union environments where there is a labor dispute, both sides will agree on using an arbitrator in order to come to some type of resolution. I'm assuming that the same would apply to the NFL's labor dispute

Well said

But if they run, they are out for a year, so they have to stay and face the music. You could also make DUI's 1 year suspensions too. That way people players will think twice and hire a cab before they drive!

Here is what the NFL/R. Goddell should do (in my humble opinion) for cases such as these. If a player is convicted of leaving the scene of an accident then he would be immediately suspended for 16 regular season games with out the chance to play in pre/post season games. Should the conviction happen x games into the current season, that than player would be suspended for remainder of the season and n number of games in the following season so that the suspension is 16 games total. Convicted of DWI- your ass is grass for 2 full seasons! Leaving the scene and DWI- Forget about playing for 3 seasons If they don't get tough on the players the NFL will end up like the NBA. Goddell needs to kick some ass. Yeah yeah, I know; "but that's too hard on the players". Bull Shite. Wether they like it or not, players represent the organization and kids look up to them. If a teacher, lawyer or Doctor did something like that, their careers would be in serious jeopardy.

Nice Bellicheat zinger! I competely agree with your RB situation. What was once a strength of the Jets is now questionable at best. Thomas Jones was a reliable workhorse. LT is a fading star. It's almost as if they ditched Jones and brought in LT because they thought it would help to sell more seats (I hear they are having trouble selling the seat liscences-- too bad this is what it's come to). ANYWAY, with a 2nd year QB who was carried by the D and the running game, I don't think it was very wise to jettison T. Jones and Faneca. The Jets might win the AFC East, but I think they will struggle to score points which is why I feel Baltimore and Indy are the teams to beat in the AFC. Well said. I don't think the transition will be as bad as some think. Sure there will be some blown coverages, but I think when the money is on the line you will see 2 things: 1. Our D will make critical stops on 3rd down. 2. We won't wear out in the 4th quarter. There is no way we finish worse than 8-8!

WHAT! A sensible reply from the enemy?!?! Maybe you can teach the Dol-Phag Trolls how to post on other teams message boards. You're ok in my book!

Agreed. On paper, I believe that our secondary is better than the Jets. It's just that taken as a whole, the rest of the Jets D was much better than ours last year- not to mention, the coaching. Let's just hope that we can be at least average against the run because with our Pass D, I believe we will be a top 10 unit!

There's not much that you don't miss, is there?

Well said. There is only so much we can do in a given offseason. Chan will get all he can out of these guys.

Our qb situation is what it is- unless one of our guys has a breakout season or Levi is lights out in camp/preseason then qb will remain as a position of need. That being said, I feel thigpen brings more to the plate than Fitz. Sure fitz has some scrambling abilities and has shown that he has a set of balls, but thigpen has been more impressive given his set of circumstances.

Don't know how, but I did make it past the fourth grade!

I would be fine with this.... as long as it is Fitz that they cut. I still feel there is some unexplored potential with TE and therefore worth keeping around for this season. Fitz is a known quantity to whom I say "no thank you"

I don't have access to Insider. Can someone please summarize- unless of course it's just a bunch of speculative drivel!

Phew. I though this was going to be a "lets trade for Albert" post. Agree with everything you say. Sure he would rather play the position that he's fit for, but London Fletcher is right- This is a team sport and he should be there with his team.

I feel good about all of this. After next year's draft we will be set. Hopefully there is football though!

No doubt whatsoever in my mind that we win at least 7 games. We've definately improved since last year. Assuming they play in '11 we will be a very good team

I agree that he may not be welcomed back into the NFL- no arguements there. I just think he is Jim Kelly's Ace in the Sleeve. Trump is a Bill fan. He and Kelly go way back. Now consider the the allure of a new stadium and casino located in The NY side of the Falls. . . . All irresistable things to the Donald. I'll welcome anyone- regardless of their history- as a Bills owner as long as they promise to keep the team in Western NY

no. He'd keep them in place until he could build a stadium and casino with hotel in the ny side of the falls

Ive said all along that I think it's gonna be Donald Trump...

I think your right. Jets and Pats could be 4-0 but I have a feeling that it will be pretty tight in the AFC East with the Jests and Cheatriots on top. I will say this though. Hopefully Billecheat figures out how to pick apart the Jests Defense...
