Hard to believe that until the turnover on downs, our Bills were the ONLY team in the NFL to score every time they get to the red zone! Who are these guys?

Win or lose, this is soooooooo much better than watching the Trent and Dick chronicles.

Oh well, it's not like the team got any worse. They're just $1.8M light in the wallet, and that's about it. Much bigger sums have been frittered away on far bigger busts.

Didn't that last INT hit Nelson right in the hands? If so, will David Nelson ever get over his choking? Fitz forced that one because it was desperation time. It was a risk that real QB's with real ballz take when necessary. The Johnson INT was bad, sure, but you're going to have one of those WHEN YOU THROW 51 PASSES (and complete 61% of them).

I agree with the article. First off, Merriman isn't going to make the Bills any worse. Second, one of the big things missing on this team is players who have used their elite talent to achieve success with a team. Torbor won the Superbowl but was a role player on that team. Stroud was once a great player but never won anything major (I think). And that's about it - the rest of the roster from top to bottom is mired in a culture of losing. Those Charger teams, despite their playoff failures, were incredible, and Merriman was a huge part of that. Hopefully he can be a leader for the Bills and some of his "greatness" can rub off and raise the bar.

To me the only big risk at this point is that the Bills improve enough to slide out of the #1 draft slot. As far as the money and Merriman's chances of making an impact go, this team has absolutely nothing to lose so why not. It's "only" $1.7M. For the Bills, it's a can't-lose situation, however I could definitely see the argument that this makes no sense for Merriman's career. Too bad for him that he has no choice in the matter, I guess.

How about a 58 jersey instead.

A bit of a bummer; I was hoping to see one of the pylons in our linebacker corps get cut.

Lose 15 straight, the remainder of them entertaining, only-the Bills-could-lose-like-that OT losses. Then beat the Jets by 30 in week 17 to knock them out of the playoffs.

Softest: Greg "Tinker" Bell Least agile: Jim Kelly?

I'm not so sure being part owner of the Bills is a sound financial move...

Willis MacGahee's knee did things no knee should do on national TV, and they replayed it over and over again.

Hey, at least they went down swinging for once. I would take Fitzgerald throwing inaccurate down-field passes over Edwards' gutless checkdowns any day. Trent's brand of QB play makes for unwatchable football. It was nice to see our QB at least attempt to make big boy throws.
