Only if the Pats* are playing to win and not playing to not get injured.

Hey, you never know!

No I don't Assuming 16 games per week that's 2.65 million viewers per game average. Even at $5 per game they would need 525000 viewers each. And that's assuming the NFL would get every penny collected, which they would not. There are some large market teams that might be able to average close to that, but not most in my opinion. The hard core fan of football would also balk, I think, at having to pay per game.

Probably sometime Sunday.

If it would increase their profit, then that is what the NFL would do. DTV pays a huge amount of money (over $700 million a year) for the exclusive rights in the United States. A Canadian satellite provider also carries the sunday ticket as well and also at least one cable provider in the great white north. 700 million is a LOT of pay per views

According to sportsclubstats.com: They probably don't assume 50% likelihood though

I suppose a 3rd is not out of the question ... maybe. But higher? Who in their right mind would give that for SJ13? Remember, Buddy Nix is no longer a GM

Possibly, but I generally don't think in terms of contract. Which admittedly is tough in cases like the 100 million dollar man.

Neither actually. I think decent slot receiver who will get you some yards, but chokes on the big plays and is immature for his age.

My advice is like others have said, enjoy the games and don't let how the Bills play ruin a fun time with your friends and family. My family and I still enjoy watching the games together, even last weeks. And it is certainly NOT due to the quality of the Bills play. Also, I lost my brother unexpectedly last week so trust me, enjoy family times while you have them.

It is interesting to me how some people want to blow it all up every year because the Bills suck, but they are also mad that the Bills suck every year.

You forgot the all time perpetual excuse ... the officials making constant bad calls against the Bills !!!

I voted no, but if they could get decent trade value for him then I'd say take it. I would not flat out cut him though unless they had a plan to be able to upgrade his position with a inside receiver as they do not have one other than SJ13 now.

YPC is deceiving for a runner like Spiller. One run of 45 yards followed by 4 runs of -5 yards each gives you an average of 5 YPC, but is generally not going to help the team much. In my opinion, a back like FredEX who is more likely to run 5 times gaining 4 yards each for a lower YPC than Spiller, is far more valuable to the team long term. Even though the Spiller types are far more exciting to watch.

Quite a few people are already questioning Marrones viability as a HC at the NFL level. Because quite frankly he really hasn't shown anything to prove otherwise thus far. However if you are seriously thinking he will or should be fired after one season my advice would be to put down the crack pipe and step away from the keyboard because that simply does not happen. ESPN analysts are 12-1 in favor of the Jags. CBS with spread (Jax + 2.5) all 8 take the Jags. CBS without spread all 8 still take the Jags. Why does vegas feel the need to entice betting on the Jags in this one by giving them the points??????

I am no great evaluator of QB talent, but when I look at Manuel I do not see a budding franchise or elite QB. I see very bad footwork, a strong but inaccurate arm, and bad reads. The reads can come with experience, and he has already learned to go out of bounds or slide. But when I look at Manuel I do not see a Luck, or a Manning, or a Brees, or a Brady. What I see is a very strong, athletic QB like Vick (minus the dog killer). His bad mechanics worry me. He seems like a nice kid and a hard worker and I certainly hope he manages to get everything sorted out. Vick has never impressed me as a QB. I hope Manuel ends up considerably better.

Enjoy it!

We have dinner as a family Sundays and watch the Bills game. Sixteen very enjoyable dinners, win or lose (but we prefer win ) that I very much look forward to. I never expected playoffs this season. And a sports team, any sports team, winning or losing does not disrupt my day, let alone my life. So yeah I care, but not at a unhealthy level.

Not unexpected among fans of a team that has sucked for 14 straight years.

I think if this guy is intelligent as well as having the physical attributes, be could pick up LB pretty quickly. Outside of QB, football is not that difficult to grasp, as witnessed by the relative intelligence of the average football player. 13 weeks should be plenty of time to learn the LB position. This is an interesting experiment at the very least and could open up a untapped, and I'm guessing largely unregulated, source of potential players for the teams to sign without a draft. If it works, be prepared for other teams to follow..

True enough, but what was this forums reaction when he was signed?

"... if he can stay healthy" ... why am I having Merriman flashbacks? But as other have said, low risk and loss (Choice) and high potential reward.

I'm not saying the Bills are a great bad weather team. But the bad weather tends to equalize teams. For example in that game you mentioned above (and I think I am still thawing out from ), if they had been playing the Pats* for example, it tends to equalize the teams because in that case the Pats best weapon, Marcia, would be reduced to handing off and praying just like the Bills were.

And now we know ... http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/164158-bills-sign-te-tony-moeaki-to-the-active-roster/

If that is what you are calling learning to win, then we are just arguing semantics. I call this learning to be a better player. I haven't seen all the the NE comebacks this season (thank god), but they seem to be in large part due to Brady .... not only a great player but one of the best of all time. Now please pardon me while I go wash my mouth out with soap.
