If the Bills didn't pay for Levitre then they aren't going to break the bank for Iupati either. No one on that list is worth the money they will command, IMO. Better off focusing on signing our own and trying to find OG solutions in the draft.

I know it sounds crazy, but maybe he actually thinks the Bills will win.

The Bills should not have done that. Karma.

As Brian Billick pointed out in his article, Gruden is not exactly handling this situation well. Publicly throwing your players under the bus is not the way to earn their respect and commitment. If he really wants to continue to work with RGIII and try to get him to improve then he just made it much harder to deal with him.

Jerome Bettis, RB - 1993-95 Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams, 1996-2005 Pittsburgh Steelers Roger Craig, RB - 1983-1990 San Francisco 49ers, 1991 Los Angeles Raiders, 1992-93 Minnesota Vikings Charles Haley, DE/LB - 1986-1991, 1999 San Francisco 49ers, 1992-96 Dallas Cowboys Marvin Harrison, WR - 1996-2008 Indianapolis Colts Junior Seau, LB - 1990-2002 San Diego Chargers, 2003-05 Miami Dolphins, 2006-09 New England Patriots IMO

Several teams still run it. Carolina, San Francisco, Philadelphia, NY Jets. And it's occasionally seen in other teams playbook as well, like Miami's.

Matt Millen disagrees with you.

I suspect that if he went to Philly to play for Chip Kelly he would be an all pro within 2 seasons. His skill set fits that offense perfectly

If Incognito was good enough to be a starter last season then I don't see how he can't be a contributor at least as a backup to many teams in the league. Obviously, his baggage is what's holding him back and it wouldn't surprise me at all if the league was colluding to help keep him out.

Censorship by the thought police.

I think that after meeting with Brandon, Whaley and Marrone, Pegula is going to refrain from major changes going into next season as long as the Bills win at least 7 games. I'm sure that the current administration will make some minor revisions but that's it. I see Pegula waiting to see what his independent analysis reports and what his own experiences are during his first full year of ownership including an off season. If the Bills don't make the playoffs next season, he will clean house and replace all three. That is my opinion.

Absolutely, but it also puts a giant red flag on him so it would be a major risk. I really like Gurley but I'd be looking at QBs if possible with the 2nd round pick.

Exactly. These ref segments by the announcing teams are pretty worthless IMO. Their opinions are really no better than the ones of the broadcasters or most fans for that matter.

I understand being scared to go for it because the offense WAS stinking, but did he really think that the defense was going to force a 3 and out or something based on the way Miami had been moving the ball up and down the field all night? I agree with this 100%. This is my #1 criteria of who is a good coach: getting the best out of his players. I would say that Henderson has struggled as the season has gone on, not improved.

QB has been the problem.

Why not bring Mark Sanchez in to compete with EJ and Orton for the starting job? He has more ability than anyone in the draft. Either Sanchez or Foles are going to have to go. I doubt that they can co-exist in Philly without controversy.

Watkins is the only real play maker that the offense has. He has been seriously hampered by his injury the past couple of weeks and it's no coincidence that the scoring has gone into the tank in those games as well.

Earl was the man. Still the one back I would pick if I had to build an all time team. The guy was beat up and burned out quickly but for a few years, he was a force of nature and almost single handedly took the Oilers to the Super Bowl.

I agree with and am a strong proponent of sitting a QB for his first and preferably second season in the NFL so that he can learn the offense, defenses, professional preparation, etc. but after that I just don't think there is any benefit to sitting. The plan was for Manuel to back up Kolb his first year or two but it didn't happen. At this point he has gone through the initial growing pains with whatever damage to his confidence that they inflicted. I think the benefit from sitting now is strictly to get everyone off his back and to try and restore his confidence. I really don't think he's going to learn anything more about executing until he gets back in there.

I hear you and you're probably right about WR, although I always wonder when I see a team like New England throw the ball around so effectively with strong OL and QB and no WRs to speak of.

Dick Jauron's left testicle.

I wonder if they're going to have to raise the heads on the hospital doors to accommodate his height?

The problem with drafting a guard high is that you then have to pay him if he turns out to be as good as expected, and most teams don't want to pay OGs top money because they need it for the premium positions like QB, OT, DE, DT, MLB and CB. So, it's not that they aren't valuable, it's that premium guards don't typically fit into a logical salary structure for a team, IMO.

I love the guy. I see a bright future for him and the Browns. Don't forget the draft picks that they have stockpiled. If JFF steps in next season and plays big then a new power will have been born.

My position too. It seems that Byrd's agent outplayed the Bills to avoid that scenario and maximize his options. Anyway, it's done.
