You seriously don't think so? Because he is. He's crying to the media because Spiller was ahead of him for ONE LOUSY PLAYOFF GAME!
Oh how I wish that were true. The playoffs....just imagine...

Levitre confirms LG rotation
Posted by Chris Brown on August 17, 2011 – 1:19 pm
Bills LG Andy Levitre was back with the starting offensive line at Wednesday’s morning walk through, indicating that’s where he’ll be for the Bills night practice tonight. Head coach Chan Gailey hinted that a split of time at the starting left guard spot would be taking place between Levitre and Rinehart. Levitre confirmed that after the walk through.
“We’re just rotating,” Levitre said. ”They wanted to see what both of us have to offer. We’re competing for a job. We’re going to be switching back and forth.”
Presumably Levitre and Rinehart will switch off every day to keep the reps as even as possible. Levitre, a two-year starter at left guard, admitted he was a bit surprised by the move Tuesday, but is committed to proving he deserves the starting role.
“I didn’t see it coming at all,” Levitre said of being bumped down to second team Tuesday. ”It’s not the greatest feeling in the world but hopefully that will bring some more competition out of me and make us both better players. I know that Chad (Rinehart) is a good player so competition will be good for us in the long run.”
Why isn't this competition occurring at RG?

Vote for Marcell
Posted by Chris Brown on August 17, 2011 – 1:36 pm
The NFL Players site has a touchdown dance contest going on right now between members of the 2011 draft class and Marcell Dareus was a part of it. Buffalo’s top pick needs your vote!
Dareus along with Patriots RB Shane Vereen, Panthers QB Cam Newton and Chargers RB Jordan Todman all performed touchdown dances on camera at the rookie premiere earlier this offseason. So make sure you vote for Marcell.
Personally I think Dareus’ touchdown dance is the most enthusiastic.

Come on I have huge hands and a tiny iphone
This was seriously one of the funniest posts I have read on this forum.

The first page of this thread is incredible.

I'm less worried about losing evans, more worried about how this will impact morale. Man I hope Chan has a hell of a speech for the team.
-
I could have stomached this if we didn't get such a raw deal. I'm desperate to believe that there is a lineman coming but it just doesn't seem likely...

I hope this doesn't cast a cloud over team chemistry/morale

A fourth?
Good lord. Terrible.

"Lineup changes
Torell Troup suffered a cracked bone in his hand in practice early this week and his right hand was fitted for a cast. He practiced on Thursday with his cast heavily wrapped. Initially he was not expected to play Saturday, but Gailey is now leaning toward having Troup play Saturday.
“We will evaluate that, but I’m more convinced that we will play him than not play him at this point,” Gailey said.
Troup has had a solid training camp, but the club on his right hand will prove to be an adjustment."

Bills DT Torell Troup, suffered a cracked bone in his right hand. He’s not practicing tonight (Wednesday). For more on this story go to the home page of Buffalobills.com.

I particularly like your mention of the lack of respect for Andra Davis. I think he and Barnett will be solid in the middle.

I don't bash bell, I just hope he can stay healthy. That being said, it would be foolish not to bring in a vet for depth.

- Flozell Adams - He is old-Dallas gave up on him but he was still serviceable last year in Pittsburgh-one year $2.5M
- Max Starks-coming off injury - worth the risk of an incentive heavy 2 year deal -- $3M guaranteed with escalators that could double the total contract value to $6M
- McKinney-call Rosenhaus today and tell him that McKinney will get a $500K bonus to sign today -- but by cut down if his conditioning is in check he will get $3M guaranteed or if not he is cut...This exceeds Drew's demand but puts the responsibility on the player to get in shape by the end of the preseason
This.

The Buffalo Bills are in negotiations with free-agent WR Brad Smith (Jets) and may be close to an agreement.

Per rotoworld/rich cimini
The Bills are reportedly making a "strong push" to sign free agent WR/KR Brad Smith.Buffalo has filled the void with the Bears backing off, though we're not sure about the fit. The Bills have explosive returners coming out of the ears, and C.J. Spiller would seem to be capable running many of the same gadget plays. Coach Chan Gailey can use Smith creatively, but he's not one swiss army knife away from a winning team. Jul. 28 - 12:47 pm et

Not necessarily directed at you Nickel, just an observation of the last few days
Well in that case, well put.

I love how we complain that Ralph is cheap but a playmaker might be available and we better not overpay or get him on the cheap
Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa - I've never been one to beat that drum, Captain. My cheap comment comes from the fact that we have many speed guys, and it's not perceived as a huge "need."
EDIT: Regardless, it's good to see the Bills thinking outside the box, showing some life in FA.
-
...that is, I like it based on the assumption that we would get him on the cheap.

Unfortunately I can see this happening. I've always been overly optimistic about the Bills' chances too. If we sign some offensive linemen, I'm sure my homerism will come back.
