A promising factor indeed: http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/busi...m=enhsearch_loc Because we all know how much grit the Bills show in cold weather.

ya, this game is going to be ugly. the line for this game is only -6.5. If anyone wants to make a quick buck before christmas, I'd recommend placing a couple of hundred on Denver, b/c this will be the easiest money you'll ever make.

this game is going to be pretty horrible. A complete and utter obliteration is most likely in order Can't wait.

How many of the pats' o-lineman were drafted in the 1st round? Giants? And as for your quote above, you can substitute any position into that sentence. Because almost ANY players that get drafted first two rounds "usually end up starting in the NFL."

Good post. However, despite not starting in 07, he still led the team in QB hurries and was ranked 7th in the ACC in forced fumbles. Fact is, whenever he did go into the game, he produced SOMETHING. He's certainly raw, but in terms of being a pure pass rusher, I don't think there's anyone any better than him in this draft at DE. I guess that's his downfall at times as well, b/c he just pins his ears back like my dog and goes after the ball. I'm big on him personally nevertheless.

Ya, he's definitely taken a step back which is concerning. However, he's still relatively young, and I'm sure he'll make it on with some team somewhere as a #2 and perhaps even compete for a starting job somewhere. JP will be just fine considering he's making millions regardless.

No problem, I highly doubt that he was referring to what JP actually did on the field. Despite JP's horrible play, he has been a model citizen in buffalo and very interactive within the community-- that's what Evans was getting at with his quote.

He's volunteered in tons of community development programs and worked with various charities; more than most players do. Do you follow this team at all?

one of the worst things that could've happened to the Bills franchise was the development of the indoor practice facility. The result: instant softees

LOL..that was a pretty good breakdown.

I'm sorry bro, but if you don't even know who Caldwell is, don't take the time to sit there and lecture me about what we should/shouldn't do in the draft. Educate yourself first, then talk. Or here's a thought - watch some college football, instead of "googling" other people's mock drafts. As for your input, thanks but no thanks.

LOL..thanks. I think McCall would be a much better addition over anything we have now. It's been YEARS since our RB's had a solid blocker leading the way.

indeed my friend, inDEED.

Ya, McCall has def. been great...how high do you see him going? I can't see him going any higher than the 5th round or so..and hopefully we'd be able to snag him.

If Kitna is released, I'd definitely be up for bringing him in here. He's been around enough to be a very solid backup, and yet he hasn't been successful enough (imo) for him to demand a starter's position, thereby removing any potential controversy with Edwards/Kitna. I'd totally be down for Kitna.

Schouman and Fine to me are interchangeable and one isn't any more of an impact player than the other. As for Kellen Winslow, I'm not sure. He's ovbiously got talent, but you know how this organization is with "high character" guys, something Winslow might lack. I would stay away from him. If we were to take a chance on a questionable character like Kellen, I would rather have him be a "sure thing" on the field. He hasn't proven that yet imo.

I agree completely with this post.

What C would solve our problem via FA though? The only stud that's available is Birk, and i don't think he's going anywhere. (I could be missing someone) I agree with TE being a priority, but just not enough of a priority to surpass the lack of pass rush. IMO, we're one Center away from completing the offensive line...and one solid pass rusher from completing the Defensive line (assuming that Schobel can continue to produce) though we still need more depth at DT. I'm not sure about our LB's...seeing Mitchell beat by a FB this past week made me want to vomit. Poz has been very average, and Ellison can't/shouldn't start. We're either going to have to get a DE (ala Peppers) or LB (dansby, peterson, crowder) via FA...b/c we won't be able to fill everything through the draft. Being that I don't expect us to get a guy like peppers, I think we're going to have to draft a DE with our first pick, hopefully go TE with our second, go Center with our third and we can get a LB and and an "ok" DT in FA.

Ya, i realize Warner probably won't happen. Any thoughts on what veteran QB to bring in though (w/o trading for one). Ya, Dansby would be a solid pickup as well. There aren't too many big WR's that are FA's though. What would you guys feel about Henderson from the saints? He's got big-play potential. Only 5-11 though I think...so he would be like a Lee Evans or Reed. That's why I think we really need a TE. If we're going to have small WR's..then we need a big target at TE to go to in the red zone. Hardy hasn't shown anything and now with this injury he might not even play next year, or if he does, who knows how long it'll take him to get back to 100%.

I most likely agree with you with Warner, however that's who I would still target..depite the fact that it probably will not happen. I really don't knoww what veteran QB to bring in here. Batch? Grossman (is he any different than JP?)...the pickings look pretty slim. Maybe just go with Hamden and get a Boller type QB and hope for the best. With respect to Derek Fine, they're pretty high on him? Based on what body of work exactly? His 5 or so catches for his career? Give me a break. (not meant towards you). It's about time this team got serious about the TE position b/c we're essentially playing every game with one man less on offense. Is it any surprise that we've been so pathetic in the red zone for the past 2-3 years? It shouldn't be. Derek Fine would be perfect on this team..as the second or third TE behind Schouman. As for Poz..didn't he play outside linebacker in college for a while? Poz would be an upgrade over Ellison though, that's for sure.

1. Sign Warner at QB. He still can throw the ball productively, and he can tutor Edwards. He wouldn't be here more than 2 years anyway. If we can't sign Warner, no biggie..I don't mind giving Edwards a shot again next year, but we def. need a veteran backup. 2. Sign Channing Crowder and put him at MLB; move Paul P. to the outside. Those would be the main FA's the bills should sign. Draft: 1. Michael Johnson--DE. Beast mode part II 2. Chase Coffman--TE. This offense and our QB's finally need a reliable TE. At 6'6, he would also be an instant redzone threat. He could very well be here for us when we pick in the 2nd. GET HIM. 3. Antoine Caldwell--C 4. Dorrell Scott--DT 5. Worrell Williams--MLB 6. Travis McCall--FB 7. Whatever. Scott/KO Whitner Mitchell/ Crowder/ Paul P. Mcgee Schobel/Williams/Stroud/Johnson Greer Evans Peters/Dockery/Caldwell/Butler/Walker/Coffman Reed Warner McCall Lynch Done.

I'm sorry man, but the thought of trading down disgusts me. We really don't need that much depth on this team...we've been accumulating depth for years now. WE NEED PLAYMAKERS!

our 2nd this year, and our 2nd next year. I don't see any other team giving more than that for McNabb. I think that's quite a fair offer, considering our 2nd this year is almost a 1st.

Point taken, and I do agree that C is a big need. I just feel that there's a considerable dropoff in talent from the top DE's in a draft to the ones in rounds 3+, year in, year out. While the same doesn't appear to be true for OL. Of course, I haven't done a study on this...it's just observation, and I could very well be wrong. That's just the impression that I get. Also, while our OL might not be great, pass protection has been quite well all year long. Both JP and Trent have had ages standing back there in the pocket. Run blocking could use a bit of an improvement though. Our D-line on the other hand, well, they simply always fail to get a pass rush. I think we went a stretch of something like 3 games with 1.5 total sacks. Unacceptable for an NFL team--especially one that runs a tampa/cover 2.
