Tim said that Jason LaCanfora wrote that a resolution is "a long long ways away" according to a source and that they are at the start "of a very thorough process" He also pointed out that Mark Gaughan said that they will not hire a coach until they bring in a Legitimate General Manager......

John I appreciate your insight. Since we aren't part of Ralph's inner circle we're all just going to have to wait and see how things shake out and what he chooses to do. Thanks again, for taking time to share with the board.

I hope they're talking to GM candidates and just keeping it quiet.

I like Reese. And he is working. He works for the pats in some capacity.......

I can't say I haven't noticed they're putting guys on IR left and right as if they're throwing in the towel. I mean Byrd has a shot at the pro bowl and the Int Title and they put him on IR? If he's really hurt or in danger of causing permanent injury its one thing but he didn't appeared to be that injured.....

I would love to see Kellys group get some stake in the team in hopes of having some stability and keeping the team in Buffalo when Ralph passes on.......

I think there's a lot of season ticket holders who had had enough and will not fall for a TO signing or sexy draft pick. I think this time he's going to really have to do something, smoke and mirrors may still work with some fans but not nearly as many as it has in the past.....

The funny thing is, if Brandon would do the right thing and bring in a Football guy to Run the Football side of the business and let him do it his way hiring a competent HC (ie Grimm) his job of marketing would be easy. If people see real credible changes they would renew their season tickets......

I'm a little confused here. Wasn't it mentioned earlier that they were cleaning house and wanted to bring in a strong football guy to run things? How the hell can you zero in on HC candidates before hiring a GM? Isn't that what Lerner did in Cleveland? And I can't believe I'm hearing the name Gilbride. That guys a jackass. Didn't Buddy Ryan punch him on the sidelines in Houston? Wasn't it rumored that Ruben Brown almost came to blows with him in a meeting preceding the end of Browns career with the Bills.....

FIGURES. My antenna in my car went bad Sirius sent me a replacement set up and I haven't had time to install it

I agree with the aforementioned criticisms of mort and pastabelly. However, I definitely see part of this move aimed at creating some sort of stir and selling tix. They can afford to pay him $6.5 mil for one year because no one else is signing with them and they have cap space. No one will want to sign here until they get a real GM in the fold to right the ship.....

It has to do with possibly appeasing Peters? I know he was making too much for his performance but the money the Bills saved is no big deal. I know they avoid paying him a 1.5 mil bonus or something but in renegotiating Peter's contract when they get around to it, having Dockery gone and not the highest paid lineman anymore won't hurt.....also sends a message that they will rid themselves of people who don't live up to their contracts. Just an idea. For what its worth I don't think the Bills are going to make a huge splash in FA. My guess is they sign a number of moderately priced FA's who are good but not great.....

Like anyone is going to read this as it's what the 1,000th reply. I think his idiot agent gave him the wrong advice and has to keep going with it in order to not look foolish and not admit he was wrong. I don't know much about Peter's personality but something tells me he's being fed sh-- and manipulated.....

For one, it looks great but how could I not like the design of the true bills fan website and to boot it's a free site!

I don't know why people are freaking out and complaining. The first three picks look to be excellent. I must admit I was expecting a TE in the third but apparently no one worth taking at that slot was there. I trust the scouts we've had a couple of really good drafts the last couple years and seem to find talent in the later rounds so I trust them.......As far a center goes perhaps there was no one of value at the slots we've picked at.....

Stewy- hop on the LIRR to Penn Station. There's a bar on the LIRR level called Tracks that's owned by a huge Bills fan. He usually attends the Bills draft party at McFadden's on 2nd and 42nd. I got the email and the special runs from 4-11 or something like that. It's $25 all you can drink domestics and $30 all you can drink import with unlimited wings. Check out their site at www.nycbbb.com. I used to go all the time but have been out of the loop. I plan on going. Let me know if you are and I'll give you instructions or let you know when I'll be going thru Penn so you can get to McFaddens by subway. Just an idea.

I've been reading PFT for years. Florio has consistently been saying the Bills are on the rise and will take a lot of teams by surprise. In his ten pack about the NFL scheduling he throws the Bills a bone. At least he's honest even about teams he likes personally. On top of that he's hilarious. The names he creates for people and pics he alters of coaches and players......

That would be funny. He went to my HS although I think he was a freshman (if that) when I was a senior. He's very full of himself. He was Mr. Irrelevant and drafted by Chicago originally. No joke his hometown in NJ actually has a "Jim Finn" day. I used to live in a neighboring town and read about it in the local community newspaper.....actually OSI UMENYIORA was at my friends wholesale car dealership today. I had no idea who he was. I had a Bills hat on the whole time. He seemed nice enough but wasn't very big for a DE. He bought a porsche cayenne I think........

Not sure where that would rank amongst our needs (although LB is definitely one of them) vs best player vs their Draft Board but I love the guy and would be proud to have him on the team.......

I can't believe I read that McGahee blamed the line. WR's and QB for his performance. While I agree a better line would've helped, why not leave it alone? Talk about your new home not make excuses about your performance with your former team. He should be grateful Donahoe selected his ass in the first round THEN he was able to SIT OUT a year and rehab. What a jerkoff. I don't wish bad things on him (and I HATE the ravens) but if he should make a highlight reel with an injury can't say I won't smirk....

Honestly who knows whats really going on outside of Marv and his staff? I wouldn't say just because they brought in FA's that WM is gone definitely. Sometimes teams bring in FA's as a smokescreen for something else or showing misdirection for draft purposes. I have no clue how this is all going to play out...

BTW I feel more confident in Marv and Juaron then with the previous regime to get a quality CB and or find a way (scheme wise) to at least contain him

"Lighten up Frances" - I love the Stripes Reference. Not sure how tall McGee is but we'd better get us a tall corner isn't Moss 6'4 with some ridiculous jumping ability?

I had directv from 99 to 2003. It was great. I moved exactly 8 games into the 2003 season. My new Landlord wouldn't let me have a dish (even though his parents directly above me had a dish bigger than my car) so I had to go back to cable. I've since moved and still have cable (becuase it's part of a year long packeage including internet connection and phone with unlimited local and ld calling) but I miss directv and their prices were MUCH better than cable for regular programming outside of NFL games. I had no outages either. The service was good
