This is why Bradley is the best option we have as the CAM. Love that dude. I also believe that Fabian is one of our better players as well.

http://www.washingto...3d19_story.html I'll take the "anti-science" guys that create significantly more jobs than the job-killing, over regulating liberals you support any day of the week.

Whether he is a play maker on the elite world stage is to be seen, but he is our best play maker and there is very little doubt about that. He has played at a high level for the US in the vast majority of our games and was certainly our best creative force through world cup qualifying and our recent game against Mexico. He was magnificent. In regards to what is his most natural position, well I think he displays the ability to play both roles, ideally I'd wish we had another play maker in the middle to go along with him, but I am perfectly content with Bradley and Jones manning the middle. From my perspective, it will be mainly what the back four do, do they make some of those cringe worthy forced errors or lapses in defense where they take their eyes off their marked man for that split second that lead to those devastating game-deciding goals?

This must be the "snark" example.

The worrying about the possible relocation of Buffalo due to Mr. Page may be much ado about nothing, but it certainly does get me a little nervous.

I can't speak to what he did in Italy, but as a midfielder of the US team, he is THE play maker on the team, without Bradley this team falls apart. Don't forget that the team has been scrimmaging often and having three-a-day practices over the past couple weeks. They had "heavy legs" and it showed. Plus lets put aside that Azerb. was playing in a defensive crouch the whole game, stuffing eleven men back. And if you look at their world cup qualifying, they didn't give up all that many goals. I think this team has been working primarily on "getting in shape", Klinsmann talked about how we needed to get in game shape and get our legs under neath us. My guess is the chemistry/technical aspect is what they will be working on.

3 years 15m with 7m guaranteed. Git-r Done!

It's more of a 4-4-2 Sorta Dempsey the way he could possibly be envisioned is as the withdrawn striker. Altidore the guy who would hold the ball up top on fast breaks. Bradley as the playmaker that pushes up (even though I believe his natural tendency is to stay more withdrawn), Jones as the pitbull midfielder (Even though he has a tendency to sometimes play a little undisciplined and pushes up at times more so than he should). Bedoya a guy that can be effective on the offensive side (5 goals for Nantes (first division French league) this year, more than any midfielder on his team) but excels playing defense on the wings, very good up and down abilities. Zusi has some excellent crossing abilities. ----------Altidore----------------- ---------------------Dempsey-------- --Bedoya-----------Bradley-------------Zusi -------------------Jones----------------------- Beasley---Cameron---Besler---F.Johnson -------------------Howard-------------------

The amount of vitriol coming from some posters is pretty funny. The majority of the ones that are adamantly opposed to Trump being an owner of the Bills are staunch Liberals. Coincidence? Most likely no. Having said that, I also share some of the criticisms, I do believe he is an egomaniac, I do believe that he can be extremely petty and just like most other business men, he is not always as successful as some make him out to be. In regards to what sort of owner he'd be, I think it's a mixed bag. From my perspective, I think there is a risk that he could be a meddler a' la a Jerry Jones. I also think that with Trump we also run the risk of him bringing some negative publicity, I mean look at all the froth coming from peoples mouths when the name Trump is brought up, he has the uncanny ability to elicit this sort of response. And to be fair, he does bring it upon himself and provides plenty of ammunition for his detractors. On the other hand, he does seem to be a "winner", he holds people accountable and I believe that he would do everything in his power to bring a winning team, which means he may be more apt to spending more money to get the pieces necessary. He's not my first choice, but I absolutely welcome him to the effort of keeping the Bills here in Buffalo.

Some of you guys are reading too much into this. I think it's clear that just about everyone knows that Spiller is a 15-20 touches a guy kind of running back, which is about half the work load of the total touches our RB's receive. Jackson is at the twilight of his career, and we are looking towards his eventual replacement.

Sherman is the best right now, and the play he made in the superbowl epitomized his worth.

In order for it to be worth the heavy price tag, Sammy would have to become a perennial pro bowler. Having said that, he passes the eye ball test, his acceleration is top notch, he is good sized, very good speed, great character and phenomenal production throughout almost all of his career. I happen to believe he was worth the risk.

I know from some quarters of the Bills faithful that frequent this site, believe that Stevie has much more trade value than he actually he does. We'd be lucky to get a 5th rounder for him. Don't get me wrong, I believe Stevie has been a fine member of this team, great cheerful attitude, all about Buffalo etc. But in my view, it is clear that the Bills brass don't see them as part of their future. And now that we have signed the kid from Tampa and with drafting two wide receivers last year and now Sammy the Stud Watkins, it simply doesn't make sense to keep Stevie long-term. At the end of the day, if the Bills see very little interest for Stevie, they'll trade him for next to nothing so they can unload that contract. If not, they will probably keep him rather than cut him to put out the best team possible.

This thread could begin to make sense if there was a body of evidence to support the implied insinuation. But since there isn't, I'd have to say this is a pretty lame thread.

So you go from saying that he is AS talented as anyone in the league, and someone questions you on that very debatable comment, and then you somehow twist what he said into implying that he was stating that he "isn't very talented". You're comical, dude

I'm not following you

That's a good point, never thought about that.

Sorta. One of the carriers that I work with has now created a portal to work in conjunction with Healthcare.gov And the last few applications that I have submitted from my client initially showed they were going to get the subsidy (which they most likely still will), and in order to process the application, after we go through the gov. website to determine subsidy eligibility, we are to send them an email for them to do an E signature and provide payment information. That email, which actually comes from the carrier, states the subsidy that they will be receiving, so once they do one of those signatures, everything has appeared to be fine, however on the very last portion where they are to place their payment information, the price doesn't reflect the subsidy. So naturally, I called up the carrier and after 4 hours of waiting on the phone, there is no record of them receiving that subsidy. So there are still kinks in the system.

They should legalize many of the current illegal drugs. Just my philosophy on a lot of things. Having said that, no doubt just like about everything, if you are someone who is smoking it up throughout the day or around your children, then the likely hood of you being a loser goes up exponentially.

You think that's bad: http://www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2013/12/27/in-2008-politifacts-2013-lie-of-the-year-that-you-could-keep-your-health-plan-under-obamacare-it-rated-true/ So they sought out Jonathan Cohn to clarify their 2008 decision? Jonathan Cohn????? That dude is a hack from the left and has been a staunch Obama apologist ever since I've occasionally been reading his drivel. The fact that they use a hack like Cohn says everything that I needed to know about Politifact. Also, one other point. As much as I now truly dislike Sarah Palin, her quote about the "Death Panels", in which Politifact ruled the lie of the year in 2009 (I believe), to a certain extent will end up being proven correct.

From my perspective, the fact that Marrone retained Crossman is an extremely disappointing decision. Crossman has a career of sucktitude and he proved that this past year and considering that they are buds with one another makes it even less bearable to withstand. For me, that's strike one.

It's a win win situation. Good for fan's, good for owners and good for the Bills.

You may conveniently dismiss PFF's data, but the fact remains that when we ran the ball behind Levitre, we were as or more successful than anyone in the league over the last two years he was here, and that still doesn't take away the fact that relatively speaking he was excellent in pass protection and that still doesn't change the fact that he never missed a game with the Bills. Those three undeniable facts, from my perspective and I'm pretty sure there are quite a few others that agree made him one of the better guards in the league. In regards to who is a better lineman, I still stand by point that while Levitre was here, he was our best O-Lineman.

Let's put it this way, when Levitre was on this team, he was the best O-lineman we had. Oh yes he is; FACTUALLY speaking he achieved that $8M/year contract, and I told you that he would get that contract before he got it, and he did.... And if you want to look at other considerations, the YPC behind him here in Buffalo his two last years was the highest in the league, he gave up very few sacks and he never missed a game. The results, the contract offer he received and his durability all dispute your assertion that he was merely a decent Guard.

Here is what I know, that the YPC behind Levitre his last two years he was here in Buffalo was the highest in the league. And that he rarely gave up a sack, and that he never missed a game. In regards to not making the pro bowl, if this team had been in the playoffs or was more respected on the offensive side of the ball, he'd a been there. However, considering the last point I made is not provable, it's basically a moot point, but the numbers I provided, do not lie. Also, in regards to paying Guards lower figures, that formula is changing, Guards are getting compensated more so in % increases relative to other players over the past few years, and I believe that's because there are teams that are valuing that position more so than they use to. And the point that was made earlier regarding what TN has been unable to accomplish, implying that it was Levitre's fault, is absurdly vapid. As if one man on that team is responsible for the fate of that team's production. We know that here in Buffalo, he was our best O Linemen and we consistently over the past two years were able to run the ball. We suffered this year with our interior line and to suggest that Levitre wouldn't have helped this team out much in that department is silly.
