Fractured risk is an investment strategy involving covered calls. Gilmore has good coverage skills.

Ok, so who should they have signed?

Have you considered that they had the foresight to keep enough cap space to sign Byrd? You have no idea how those negotiations, or the lack there of went. For all you know Byrd may told Parker that unless the Bills offer a ridiculous sum, I don't want to play there. So when the deadline past what should they have done? Who should they have spent that money on? I will reiterate, you have no idea what their intention is with Spiller and Wood.

Levitre got over paid. The Bryd situation is not over yet and how do you know what happened there? Or what the Bills offered? How do you know what they are going to do with Spiller and Wood?

I think I am being misunderstood. I believe Ralph Wilson wants to win, however I also believe he has made a lot of bad decisions over the years. I was disagreeing with the premiss of this thread. I don't believe that the Bills management has the Andy Robustelli mind set, that it is best to just miss the playoffs every year.

Who did you want them to spend the money on? The Bills won championships in the sixties, were competitive in the late seventies, became fun to watch in the late eighties and dominated the AFC in the early nineties. This past decade plus has been bad, but franchise is not as historically as bad as some. You do realize that the Patriots were very bad for very long. The Packers were bad to mediocre for thirty years. The Saints were bad for forty years. Should I go on? See above

I'm with you on this. 1) MLB is a completely different animal. 2) Ralph Wilson wants to win, Russ Brandon wants to win everybody down to the guy that takes out the trash at One Bills Drive wants to win. Winning fills the seats. Makes contract negotiations easier. Makes free agent signings easier. Makes getting new stadium with more boxes and profit centers easier. There is no conspiracy.

Or, starting QB could miss only one game, could have been worse. Third string QB could be better than second string. Have ONE rookie kicker that can kick from fifty yards plus, which means our second year punter won't be punting from the 32 indoors. The number one CB should only miss four or five games which means he could play in eleven or twelve. Our starting safety is back practicing and will play his a$$ off to prove he deserves a big contract. You can thank me for fixing this.

Gilmore is a big strong corner, an important part of his game is disrupting WR route before it starts. He needs his hands to do this. I'd really like to know what is going on with Gilmore, Manuel and Kolb. We are thin at corner, losing Gilmore for an extended period of time would be bad and are we really looking at Tuel starting against New England?

Queen Victoria financed a study to determine the most comfortable way to stand. It was determined that the best position was feet 18 inches apart with hands behind the back.

Sorry for your loss. My father is also responsible for me being a Bills fan. First game I went to was at the Old Rock Pile, I remember that my father paid two kids to park in a driveway. When the game was over we went to get in the car and a very angry woman in her church clothes was yelling at my father for parking in her driveway. Kids didn't live there and were no where to be found.

I like your style, and your avatar makes me hungry.

You're right forgot leadership. I think that comes under decision making.

Super Bowl III was 1969

I think with QBs it is these three things in this order, quick decision making, accuracy, and arm strength. Isn't "low upside" an oxymoron?

So I'm probably wrong and if I am, I'm sure someone will tell me, but wouldn't the NFL make more money if they made all but national or local broadcasts, pay per view? Directv is not accessible to everyone, so if the games were available on a per game, pay per view from all providers, including the Internet, wouldn't that dramaticly increase the potential audience? I use to spend $50 or more to sit in a Sports Bar and watch a game.

Thought exactly the same thing and he also goes on to say that Byrd won't play hard because he'll be too worried about getting hurt. Wouldn't Byrd play hard to prove he is worth a big contract?

So Brandon was GM which means McKelvin was Modrak's pick.

Yeah, my first thought was doesn't journeyman mean well traveled?

Do we even know that this is where Astro got this?

Thank you for all your hard work during camp, but you can't just leave us hanging on the Byrd thing.

Do you know why they went to the armed helmets? It was because every team in the AFC East had white helmets and they thought th e red helmets would help Ferguson throw fewer interceptions.

I will admit to believing that Wannstedt was going to be a big improvement last year. That openning game against the Jets was incredibly depressing.

But now that you brought it up, that was just mind numbingly bad.

That is exactly how I feel.
