The melodrama is created the media blowing everything out of proportion along with a released and disgruntled RB. I'm sure it's all quiet on the issue within the bills organisation. Having said that I hope Freddy does go to the seahawks and tastes success before he retires, no player deserves it more.

Not sure of the cap situation but are you comparing 2 EJ years to one Cassel year? If you keep Cassel over EJ, unless the bills cut him off decide not to resign him at the end of the year, he won't be playing for free next year. In my uneducated opinion it makes sense to pay EJ for two years because I think he is a very decent backup QB vs 2 years of a Cassel contract or a year of Cassel and a 2nd year of some other QB. I'm sure the Bills could use the money elsewhere.

Completely agree with Beef Jerky. My prediction for the year is that the Bills will finally make the playoffs, have a good offensive year and Roman is gone, but it will be a fun year at least. By the end of the year the media will be talking a Bills QB up just like they did with Kaepernick, only to find out the next year they are not that good without Roman.

NFL website says rg3 carted off vs bills. Bills D is so scary we injure Qbs we aren't playing against.

I was watching an Australian rules game and even the commentators here in Australia commented the the balls must be deflated and took a crack at the pats. Quite funny to hear.

I hope they trade up if that is the case.

10-6 because of the QB situation, I'm willing to lay down 175,000,000,000,000,000 Zimbabwean dollars on it. I heard in the news today that equates to 5usd. That Mugabe lad runs a tight economy haha.

How many future first rounders will it take to get Rivers. If it were up to me it would be this entire draft, a EJ and the next 3 firsts. Too much?

I'm confident our defence will be that good that we need EJ to throw interceptions 30 yards down field so our defence can immediately force the fumble and get it back. Quick 30 yard gain. The plan is fool proof.

Maybe two wildcard teams from the AFC East this year.

Its been quite popular for a long time, not sure when it started. The first game I ever saw was the bills and giants Superbowl when i was 12 years old and was quite taken by the big spectacle that is the superbowl. I remember vividly the bills players holding hands on the sideline waiting for that infamous kick and a bills fan I became. I think its been long enough to shake any bandwagon title. A few Australians have and currently play in the NFL, mainly punters because in Aussie football booming kicks are the norm. Darren Bennett was a top Aussie rules player and became the chargers punter for many years and Sav Rocca is punting in the league for the jets I think. Jesse Williams was drafted a couple of years ago but he wasn't a crossover. Not sure if Jaryd Haynes will be very good when he's playing against players that have played their whole lives with instinctive skills but good on him for trying. Maybe he can make a few million before they work out he sucks.

I think he has potential and don't think 3 games and some preseason games is enough to dismiss him, as much as I don't think 14 games is enough to dismiss EJ. That and no available QB's really fill me with confidence. The pats have been drafting/hiring and trading Brady's backups for years, Sometimes they get a good pick sometimes it's bad, but they don't seem to offer QB's a deal beyond their rookie contract. They may as Brady nears retirement but it hasn't been a priority in the past. Again this is just my opinion and I could be way of base.

I hope so.

I get that. And thanks.

I was thinking more in general as opposed to just the RI thread. I don't post very often but read TBD on a daily basis for news and educated opinions. I have read plenty of abusive posts because of varying opinions that drive people away, I.e. a couple of media identities that no longer post here. Sure there are trolls and provocateurs (I remember Mr BMW), as is with every site, but completely ignoring them kind of destroys their agenda. Actually ignore what I'm saying, I became a dad recently and just realised I am starting to sound like it.

In the same line of thinking why can't people challenge it respectfully without immediately jumping to internet tough guy mode because of how a post is worded, 5000 posts or not.

I'd love to get a QB but anyone worth their salt is probably not going be available for trade or in FA in this QB starved league. With the QB situation in the league I find it impossible to believe that teams are willing to part with good QB's. Hopefully there is a mid to late round gem that gets it. The Bills are due for some luck in that department.

Not many people from anywhere seem to know the difference between the words then and than anymore. Or my favourite, the phrase "I could care less", essentially saying you do care, which in the context it's used is an immediate contradiction of what is being said.

I can't believe the teams use their own balls if the is an advantage to be had. Is the NFL too poor to supply them? IMO the Patriots have the integrity of a pedophile but I'm not sure there is much to this.

The one constant is drafting a good QB. Some teams seem have the ability and some just don't. The teams that do find one are consistent playoff teams.

How effective will it be, there should be plenty of tape on a lot of vet players which would be more of an indicator on their talents. Players could turn in a good combine and go straight back to the form which caused them to become free agents in the first place.

IMO that's the new owner, not having much NFL experience, wanting to interview everyone under the sun to make the right choice as opposed to coaches declining the gig. Has Pegs has actually made any offers or has any team made any offers?

I couldn't could care less.

Hope they can sign the defensive free agents in the off-season while somehow taking care of the OL and QB. would be great to keep the D intact for a couple more years.

They still might beat the patriots next week and end up 9-7, an obvious improvement
