Kelsay signed I'm depressed Burn it down I love lamp

I think what everyone is missing is the real issue here. Now that we've successfully extended Kelsay, we need to quickly extend Nix as all these great moves mean he's going to be in high demand when his contract is up two years from now. I say a reasonable amount to pay him would be $49,000,000 per season. I can take a lot, but Kelsay's signing is infuriating. Have the Bills reached the point as an organization where the only hope we have for a great transaction is when it's printed in the obituaries?

Well done.

Please do not do this Nix.

As someone who has owned a AmStaff Terrior (aka Pit Bull) I think Vick is scum. I like the headline in the Daily News, I just wish it was about how he had worked his way to the top of the sociopath hierarchy in max security prision, and not that he was again a starting QB. Luckily, before long he will show why he was on his way out of the NFL as a QB even before the dog mutilation and murder charges he went away on. I would never condone fighting dogs, but don't find that to be the really scary part of what he was doing. Slamming a dog to death by hand and electrocuting them with a hose and lose wires for fun, which he personally took part in, is what makes me cheer for bad things to happen to him everytime he steps on the field. Maybe now that he's starting some NFL defender will sieze the opportunity to pick him up and slam him into the ground until he dies too.

If you're in a normal league that only starts 1 Qb I wouldn't do this unless you are screwed at rb and really need the help there.

Does no one else see that it is also the advantage the Pats have in dealing with their former underlings? Bills don't make these moves becasue they don't have these connections. That said, I hope this helps establish Lynch as being worth at least a 4th rounder.

Looks like we have an NBA or MLB GM here. Kidding aside I think this would take a 2nd from buffalo, but would be completely worth it. Though after last night I think SD might be caving to McNeil's demands.

Exactly. Despite the Buffalove for Freddie, I'd be willing to bet the promise of a return to Beast Mode is a lot more inticing for the vast majority of NFL teams (even with his off field problems) than a hard working, undrafted, over-acheiver. FWIW I would much rather keep Lynch as well, but with the money the Bills have tied up in Spiller, resigning lynch after 2011 will never happen, so we should try to get something for him now.

GB is desperate on the OL too...not like the Bills, but desperate. I'd love to get Flynn or a 3rd or 4th round pick.

GB is cooked without Grant and they know it. With him out almost all year now (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5572144) they are desperate for a trade as Jackson cannot handle the load. The Bills need to eventually ditch one of their RBs and now would be a perfect time to get value for one. I'd be shocked if GB wouldn't give up what will be a low 3rd for Lynch, or if nothing else a 4th. Whatever we can get from GB now is as good as the Bills could ever hope for, and I for one would much rather have another pick in next years draft to spend on trying to solve some of the gapping holes we have on this team, than an extra RB who isn't part of the long term rebuilding plan.

I caught tons of crap for wearing my old Apex One Jim Kelly jersey at the Ralph a couple of years ago, but it probably was becuase we had a couple of Seattle fans in our group.

Jerry puts on his peter king hat and hands us another pile of BS. Here are some teams that seemed to build a winner without "completely bottoming out". Now a lot of them did have a Dick Juron type of era with fewer wins than losses, but you wont find a great deal of horrific seasons in this group.

Tim has regularly explained in his ESPN chats that he does all his contract requires him to do chat wise, and basically not much more. As I figure it, that means he has to do about 20 a year which is what he does. And like he did on this site, he gets defensive when people challenge him about it. I'd wish he was like Matt Williamson who does around 40 plus a year, cause Tim's chats are pretty funny.

What's the source for this? No one else seems to be reporting this.

I'd be happy with 6 with real progress being shown by our young players.

It's hard to not see positives in finding good undrafted street free agents. Though i'd rather they kept bell to a couple on this list, these finds plus making the right call on spiller, and grabbing moats late make me think this regime is already off to a far better scouting / drafting start than any of the regimes that have followed butler.

I think this is dead on. Fitz is who he'd replace. And anything that gets fitz off the roster is good by me.

Seattle is on tilt. You almost wonder if the crazy is trickling down from the owner. Paul Allen has turned the Trailblazers into a trainwreck via his front office meddling and maybe he's screwing around with the seahawks too. Grabbing ol Andrews, killing houzh. And I think it's going to get worse there before it gets better.

I'd hope for us to go 7-9 or do as well as we possibly can then have the nerve in the offseason to make the moves necessary to take it to the next level. If that means trading up to get a top QB in the draft (which it might) so be it. As the Jets have shown you don't have to spend years at 1-15 etc to rebuid into a winner. I think it is far better to see a 7-9 team, realize Nix was right that this isn't as much of a rebuild as the Chargers were, and go from there, having to fill holes not rebuild an entire roster.

PUT IT DOWNTOWN! Buffalo is a ghost town, use the stadium and new development to draw people back to the downtown. In almost every major city, save Detroit, people are flocking back into cities and redevelopment has helped to greatly improve stagnating downtown economies...you get young people out of the burbs and into the cities they pay taxes and pump money into the cities and help spur a cycle of growth. Give the next owner 20 square blocks, let them develop it using the modern stadium model of placing a stadium, retail, residential, and business complexes all together. Using smaller arenas and less development this formula has been used to perfection in cities like Milwaukee and on a larger scale in Indianapollis. In Cleveland their stadiums help to give development a rock to cling on and have led to larger redevlopment of the downtown than could have been expected with their shrinking population. Building it near the falls would be great, and make the stadium a spectacle, but Buffalo again would get little in the bargain. Put it downtown use the stadium and the team to Buffalo's best advantage.

How dare you even joke about that. Moorman accounts for 90% of the season ticket sales.

Serenity now, insanity later. Personally I plan on losing my mind after the talentless Mr green blows a block that winds up getting Edwards or Spiller injured.

I think Brohm looks somewhat promising, but ill be buying his jersey if he can boot fitz off the roster. Fitz is worthless and at his best has only shown glimpses of being a below average backup. I'd love to see TE start and BB and LB behind him as they'll all get some time this year and the team will get to see if they actually have some potential at the position. I still think they need to take a Qb high next year, but I'd love to see the bills find some potential on the roster this year. Every game fitz starts is one more wasted chance to evaluate / develop a real Qb. In investment terms Brohm and Levi are lottery tickets, Trent is an awful mutual fund that is slowly losing money and fitz is the equivalent of giving your money to a homeless DC crackhead.

For starters, Locker has a better throwing motion than Tebow and Lefevour, he has far better pocket presence than either, and compared to Tebow he has gotten the stats he has working behind a shakier line and with far worse skilled position players around him. Add to that guide teammates seem to love him (lefevour is supposedly a real jerk) and the picture becomes a little clearer.
