as negative as this is, I pretty much agree with it. The patriots, in this decade have made it look easy to win (as have other teams, Colts, Eagles, Pittsburgh). It all seems easy when looking at their situations. And we have The Bills, who have been in a 15 year funk...this draft/offseason is yet another "shot" at turning things around, and I guess thats just what we have to look forward too?

judging from your avatar picture, it looks like your BOTH from SC....(cue the dueling banjo music)

"Think about the Pats receiving core during their dynasty. They had no one" - OP what? while I dont disagree with the majority of the post, what is this about the Pats not having any WR's? Randy Moss? Wes Welker? is that the no one you are referring to?

this thread it wayyy to friendly...

no, there is language in Housh's contract that says if hes cut in seattle (which he just was) they are on the hook for his 7 million salary this year, if he signs with a team for 1 million, seattle pays the other 6.... his skills havent declined, Pete Carroll loves his USC boys and wants Mike Williams to get a fresh start there and start...Mike Williams has more "intangiables" than Housh...Housh is still going to give you the 70 catch year hes been posting sicne 04...we need to go get him now...

see other Housh threat.... AMEN to that, veteran proven talent while our youngsters still get their reps and experience, win win sitch...but he probably will get better offers than Sufferlo...

haha, fair...

where did I ever want to trade for his contract? thats crazy...I specifically said I wanted to sign him when he was released because the Hawks would have to pay the difference in his salary, so we could get him cheap...

at first I just planned on coming in here and joking something like "Is that Jon Jansens evil twin", and then noticed you spelled it korky chambers so im confused as to if your just playing with peoples names, or you truly are an idiot? please clarify...

yea that Joe Reedy report seemed skeevy when it first came out...housh will be released and then pursued, just wishing it is by us, and again, im not a name chaser, im not talking about much hyped and recently released michael clayton, im talking about a proven talent and asset

when I say get it done now, I dont mean that we are on the verge of the playoffs (although in any given year a team can turn it around, plenty of examples in recent history)...I mean "get it done" in the sense of making us a top 20 offense, being able to move the chains consistently...something that Housh has demonstrated every year of his career that he can help do, even in seattle last year where their offense was almost as bad as ours, he still caught over 70 balls, the last time a bills WR caught 70 balls? 2005...might have been 2006, but still...thats a long time not to have someone consistently catching balls... bottom line bro...bringing in housh is nothing but positive, and still allows our young guys to get on the field and try to prove they are NFL receievers, why not add a WR who is already a proven NFL wideout to help in the process? They all see the field, they all learn from Housh...

Housh is not "little", hes 6'2, 230 pounds...sooo, not little by any means buddy again, get into your dense head, that signing someone like Housh doesnt push everyone else to the bench, it lets them play and learn from him at the same time, if we kept the 6 WRs i mentioned (including Housh) they would all dress and all play, you dont seem to understand rotating into games....you seem stuck in this model where only 3 or 4 WRs dress and play, thats just not realistic....we can find out if Johnson/Jackson/Nelson have what it takes while STILL ADDING Housh....plenty of reps to go around, espeically if any one of them gets injured im talking about adding someone who can get it done now, and has proven to be able to get it done...not just hoping like hell that one of our 5 unproven, young WRs can actually get it done now but realistically probably end up with another ineffective passing game because WRs fail to get open....but hey, what do I know?

I know because I just smoke it in NY...no prescription, and in 10 years it will be legal all over the US so it wont be an issue...all starts with california passing the legalization law this november

no offense in football is designed for the WRs to NOT get open, this offense will be designed to get guys open, just like every offense in the league...it doesnt meant the WRs WILL get open...we have seen this year in and year out here, WRs not getting open, being blanketed by average DBs and Safeties...fast doesnt mean open...

I will go try to find the link on youtube for the video of him smoking blunts with some rapper, and idiotically the rapper says "NFL player STEVIE JJJJJJ" and passes him the blunt, I was amazed that when this came out it didnt catch any attention, especially because I am pretty sure it was pre draft...

the WR corp is generating alot of buzz on this message board and on the bb.com message boards...the message boards are full of positive outlooks on our WR's...thats who says people are excited, the people! Im not one of them, obviously, I am incredibly skeptical, and am worried that we have done nothing to improve the WRs over last year, unless its addition by subtraction (TO)...bring innn HOUSHHHHH

now THAT is a reason I can live with...haha...unless he sees opportunity to play a one year contract and be a starter here in order to receiever another bigger contract next year?

it amazes me how confident everyone is with our receiving corp...really? we dont even have a true number 1 WR!! Yes Lee looks great running fly routes and 20 yard posts...but thats what a good number 2 WR should do...Jackson? Sure he has looked good in the preseason, I agree with that...butttttt its the preseason, theres a reason he didnt make the Patriots over some really poor WRs....Im not counting on him to be the man Stevie Johnson likes to smoke blunts, not play football, which is a dam shame because I loved him coming outta Kentucky, even after seeing the youtube video of him hanging with some rapper and smoking fat blunts...hes got potential but still didnt get on the field over our pathetic WR corp David Nelson had a real good camp and preseason, but needs to prove it in a real NFL game...ill reserve judgement here until we actually see him in a game Hardy = cut, now! Easly showed good flashes too...too bad hes done for the year... Roscoe looks like he is actually being properly utilized by this regime...but hes still a slot guy at best and we are all so excited about this group why?

why is he an !@#$? the only things I remember him doing was calling some egotistical radio host " a punk ass white boy" like 5 years back and then this year he was upset with his Madden rankings....haha, why does that make him an !@#$? Especially as you say "one of hte biggest !@#$s in the league" thats a bold statement for someone with two MINOR public incidents...from what I have heard is that hes a great teamate...who cares what he says to radio hosts and madden geeks?

again, please read my previous posts...bringin in Housh does not mean ANYONE gets the shaft thats already our WRs (besides Hardy, he will and NEEDS to get cut, he sucks and is injury prone like WOAH)...Housh brings veteran route running and intelligence to our young WRs...no, Lee Evans DOES NOT bring that, Lee Evans runs deep routes, period...they can learn from Housh by example...and just because we bring Housh in does not mean hes immediately our number 2 WR, he probably would see limited game action until week 4 or so when he picks up the offense..and even then, he can play in rotation with all of our WRs...its a win win Housh is an injury waiting to happen? Hes been injured ONCE in his entire career, in fact hes incredibly durable and CHEAP

there was already a report that disputes all of those teams being interested, i will go back and try to find it, but the reasons were Jets and Cards dont need any more WRs...Vikings denied any interest, and the chargers just traded for crayton anyway, no one is going to trade for a player that is going to be released for sure AND if they trade for him they are stuck with his current salary, instead of opting to sign him when hes released and keep the Hawks' on the hook for the majority of his 2010 salary....would he come to buffalo even if we were interested? That, I do not know...

1. TO is NOT a possession receiver...he and Housh are vastly different receivers, Housh has always been a possession guy who runs perfect 5-8 yard quick routes, something our offensive coordinator/head coach has said he wants to focus on...perfect fit for Housh not Owens who prefers those 15 yard routes that dont necessarily force him over the middle every play...like I said, TO wants to be involved in BIG plays, Housh will be fine with his 5 yard catches, THATS what we need 2. Our young receievers can STILL develop with the addition of Housh...adding one piece doesnt force us to forget all our others...there are 4 quarters in every game, and if we use 4 WR sets at all, that leaves plenty of opp for all our receivers to see alot of game action 3. why cant a 32 year old receiver help our team develop? They see a guy who just shows up to work day in and day out and doesnt B word and moan, and focuses on the little things that have made him a pro bowl WR....route running and getting open...something NONE of our WRs have proven they know how to do - and yes this DOES include Lee Evans...sure he gets open when he runs fly routes down the field, NOT ins and crossing routes...Housh gets open (as evident by his 70 plus receptions every year as a starter) 4. He was signed to be a number 1 in Seattle, hes not a number 1...im not lowering expectations, its being realistic with expectations, hes a good number 2 WR, not the number 1....thats it, Seattle misjudged and is now learning that the hard way 5. We have money THIS YEAR to give to him (less than a million probably is what it will require)...that has NOTHING to do with "finding our Andre Reed" haha...Andre Reeds come once in a while...so you are saying we do not improve our team in favor or hoping like hell an Andre Reed falls in our lap? Silly...not to mention we have a potential good WR on injury reserve this year that could be our guy (Easly) 6. I agree with what you said haha... In short...adding TJ does nothing to detract from the rest...im not saying hes the best WR in the NFL...but he is better than almost all of our current WR's and hes PROVED IT IN THE NFL ON SUNDAYS his entire career....why are we afraid of success?

Mike Singletary is probably the single most authority on Linebackers, ever....if matt wilhelm isnt good enough for him, hes not good enough for us...period...

I am not saying we go out and get Houshmanzadeh (who will probably be cut today by the seahawks) just because he is a name. I am saying go and get him because he is a massive target who didnt live up to his hype in Seattle because he didnt catch TD passes, he still has caught over 70 balls every season hes been a starter...that is someone who gets things done. That is a possession receiever that we desperately need on a team of burners at the wideout spot. Housh is also an EXCELLENT blocker from the WR position, open up more lanes downfield for Spiller or even Parrish on short routes or screen passes. Not to mention we can get him fairly cheap because of Housh's current contract in seattle that says Seattle has to pay the remainder of his salary that his new team lacks compared to his Seahawk contract....example) if his contract was for 6 million this season, if he signs with us for the Veteran minimum of 850,000 then seattle still has to pay him 5 million bucks this year, not us...win win I think... Anyone with a serious reason not to pull the trigger on this one?

Technically, there are THREE or FOUR Gronkowskis, we should probably just wait 5 to 6 years for the youngest Gronkowski...hes a WR/DB at Williamsville North right now, I think he is a junior, possibly a senior, 6-3 and 215 pounds...when he gets to college he will get with a college training program and put 30 pounds on that frame and he will be ideal tight end....and hes fast....so we dont need a TE for 6 years, lets just wait for him
