  1. The 2011 labor deal allows teams to carry over unused salary-cap space. Or to not carry it over. the Bills "can" carry over $9.8 million if they so choose ....which would be in addition to the unadjusted cap number, which is expected to be in the vicinity of $121 million per team. Team-by-team available cap adjustments for 2013: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/06/team-by-team-available-cap-adjustments-for-2013/
  2. YES !!...in a heartbeat....at this point, it would be good for the Bills to offer Flacco 5yr/$100mil/$50 guaranteed....even if it meant losing two First round draft choices.
  3. the Go Daddy "Bar Refaeli" kiss commercial, while finishing dead last for likeability......is actually one of the more "effective" ads. social media is a buzz over it......and you tube video hits are high..... btw: • The geek. The chubby geek who seriously swaps tongues with supermodel Bar Refaeli, is still pinching himself. "It's everything I couldn't imagine when I signed up to be an actor," says Jesse Heiman, the 34-year-old character actor who plays the "romantic" lead in the Go Daddy kiss-o-rama. "It's crazy the things I get paid to do as an actor." Consider: 18 seconds of the 30-second commercial are pure kiss. Heiman actually was not even supposed to get the role. After a series of auditions, someone else was selected. But Bob Parsons, the founder of Go Daddy, wasn't sold on the guy who was cast. So the auditions continued and Heiman, who is single and admits to never having had a serious girlfriend, was picked. "It seemed a little too good to be true," he says, still giddy from his new-found fame despite previous appearances, mostly playing a nerd, in nearly 200 TV shows, films and commercials. Sure, he says, he's kissed girls before — but never a supermodel, much less one who turned out to be a super kisser. "She kissed amazingly soft and sweet," he says, with some embarrassment. "I'm going to hold all kissers to that standard — and it's going to be hard to beat." But the commercial was hard work to film, he says. "It may sound dumb, but the day was exhausting," Heiman says. He says he lost exact count but that the kissing scene was reshot between 45 and 60 times. "We started kissing in the morning," he says, "and continued after lunch." The scene took nearly six hours to shoot. "The director advised me at lunch not to eat anything with garlic." He occasionally had to use mouthwash — and lip balm — between takes. But it was worth it, he says. Even worth all the embarrassing auditions that he had to go through. One audition, in front of the casting crew, involved kissing a plastic, blow-up doll that, he says, was a Lindsay Lohan knockoff. When he was called back for a second audition, he had to kiss an actual woman, Heiman says. "It's really weird to stand next to a stranger — and someone shouts, 'Action!' and you're suddenly kissing them."

  5. weakest year yet...... i liked the oreo one....
  6. this team has about 10 "needs"..... but, without a doubt.... our biggest need is a Franchise QB assuming we do nothing in free agency to get a QB.....i'm using my #1 pick on a QB...in fact, i'm going the washington redskins route were not only am i using my first round pick......but i'm also going to use either my second or third on another QB.....because we have chit for QB's on this team.
  7. i'll go so far as to say....andre is a "lock" to make it in next year....
  8. keep your head up andre.......your going in next year !! #1- the logjam at WR is broken #2- andre made the final 10, tim brown did not. #3- next years first time eligibles are a weak class (Marvin Harrison, Derrick Brooks, Tony Dungy).
  9. i loved this one last year...... happy graduate looks past mini fridge and thinks he got a car.....
  10. stevie is a SLACKER.... he is cheating himself, his teammates, the bills and the fans.... the fact he can still produce at a high level, as evidenced by 3 consecutive 1000 yard seasons DOES NOT justify his lack of commitment to maximizing his potential. he complains about losing.....yet admits he himself could easily be 20-30% better if he just worked out....
  11. listened to the entire audio.....what a shame..... "i usually never work out" "only time i worked out was to get ready for the combine" "the bills handout a booklet for offseason conditioning....i have to be honest....i just put the booklet in the drawer" "imagine how good i could be if i did real football work" next time he fumbles.....i'll be thinking, if he only worked out....maybe he'd have the strength to hang on to the ball

  13. Model Bar Refaeli smooches super-nerd in Go Daddy Super Bowl ad (i wanna barf)...... http://tv.yahoo.com/news/model-bar-refaeli-smooches-super-nerd-in-go-daddy-super-bowl-ad-165412769.html here's a sneek peak at more...... http://www.forbes.com/sites/jenniferrooney/2013/02/01/watch-all-the-2013-super-bowl-commercials-and-vote-for-your-fave/
  14. #1- he sucks as a cb #2- as a buddy 2nd round pick, he isn't going anywhere until his contract is up. #3- it's only a matter of time before he switches to safety.
  15. brilliant marketing i'd say......and a BIG thanks to Russ for being the single greatest driving force to keep the name BUFFALO in front of nickname Bills.......regionalization = keeping team. ya know, an 8oz Tenderloin Filet may not be as nice as a 9oz Tenderloin Filet......but it sure beats starving.
  16. Season ticket prices will remain unchanged, and will be the same per-game price for the fourth straight season. Individual game tickets will increase an average of $8.12 per seat. The new average per game price for a non-premium individual game ticket is $74.51. This marks the first price increase since the 2010 season.
  17. in the near future, preseason games will be reduced from 2 to just 1 home game per season. the lost revenue will be made up by expanding the playoffs by one team per conference, resulting in one extra playoff game being played during the so called "wildcard" weekend. 7 teams make it per conference, with only the top seed getting a "bye".
  18. you should be THANKING russ...... with Toronto the bills are the 4th largest NFL market...... without Toronto the bills will be the 2nd largest NFL market.......when they move to Los Angeles....
  19. this is very good news..... with Toronto the bills are the 4th largest NFL market...... without Toronto the bills will be the 2nd largest NFL market.......when they move to Los Angeles....
  20. the bills are losing NEITHER of them.... byrd will be signed long term first...... levitre's deal will take longer and the bills will Franchise tag him......then sign him long term...... i believe Levitre is more valuable and will be harder to replace compared to byrd.
  21. why is it.... if KC, Philly or Arizona pick a QB ahead of us.....they will say it was a smart move..... if they all pass on a qb and Buffalo uses the #8 pick on a QB.....they will say it was a dumb move......
  22. i still think lil donte is overrated.... if he marks the tight end Pitta.....pitta might be MVP of the game.....
  23. to the Top 7 you can add Eric Wood , Freddy Jackson & McKelvin (st) the Young & Coming you can add Dareus, Gilmore & Glenn after those 13 players....you could replace the entire team and you wouldn't miss em.....
  24. see this thread.....i agree with it 100% http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/154819-pff-grades-for-bills-playersyeah-fitz-actually-does-suck/ Top 7 Bills Grades Current year ( and previous year) 1) Kyle Williams: +29.4(-2.2 due largely to injury as he was +44.2 in 2010) 3rd highest DT grade in the NFL(Atkins, McCoy) 2) CJ Spiller: +25.4(+7.9) 2nd highest RB grade in the NFL(Peterson) 3) Jairus Byrd: +23.7(+15.3) 2nd highest S grade in the NFL(Weddle) 4) Andy Levitre: +17.3(+19.2) 9th highest G grade in the NFL 5) George Wilson: +12.4(+1.0) 8th highest S grade in the NFL 6) Mario Williams: +10.0(+8.4 with Houston---despite playing under 1/4 of total snaps due to injury) 17th highest DE grade in NFL(directly ahead of Peppers) 7) Stevie Johnson: +9.8(+8.6) 25th highest WR grade in the NFL Worst 7 Bills Grades(Previous Year Grade) 1) Ryan Fitzpatrick: -18.6(-5.6) 35th ranked QB---4th from bottom 2) TJ Graham: -15.3(NA) 105th ranked WR---WORST ranked WR in the NFL = B.

  25. i'm a big fan of john wawrow.....but this post confuses me.....as it borders on professional suicide..... in my own opinion of course, what sticks out to me in this whole thread is that it appears that with the changing of the guard from ralph to russ......that john wawrow has temporarily lost some of his "access" to the main power guy. john's valid but unanswered questions has led him to speak out publicly to some degree. while he has every right to say whatever is on his mind, my advice to him would be to bide his time.
