Yea but I believe they were showing which games they knew to be nationally televised. Not just specifically for NFL Network. Bills v. Bears could end up being on NBC, CBS, or FOX or something.

NFL network listed the games that would be nationally televised, live for week 1. They didn't list stations the games were on, but Buffalo vs Chicago was one of them. So I guess now it would be a matter of which station it will be on.

Yea I knew that the actual player worn jerseys weren't made by reebok. I meant the authentic ones. Spent a year in china. I work in clothing and the mark up on these is ridiculous. I just don't understand some peoples crusades.

And buy the "real" ones that are made in, what did you call it, "child labor slave masters" China. As a heads up, might want to check where reebok makes their jerseys before posting something this. I'll save you the trouble, they are made in, wait for it. CHINA! And guess what, that extra money for the "real" jerseys isn't going to the people making them in china. It's lining the pockets of reebok, NFL players, owners and execs.

But, but, but, but... He ended Bret Favres streak, so he MUST be.

Basically the rookies for each team get a pool of money. Much like the cap is right now. But all that money has to be split up between your draft picks and UDFA. There is no slotted amount of money like the NBA.... and it will still work a lot like before where they wait and see what the guys around them get. The kicker is there is less money to work with, and if your an agent you want your guy to get the extra year incentive and don't want to hold out on his development.

Its already reported that that is a fake tweet. Probably an irate Falcons fan.

possibly? nothing like a bunch of southerners commenting on how terrible buffalo is... apparently we are comparable to a CFL team.

Hahaha love reading that board!

he will sign tomorrow, you have to understand both those teams started camp, so there was a need to get them in... now they have a price range, he'll be there tomorrow.

I do believe i sensed some sarcasm from that post from eball...

Selling someone on coming to a football team is much easier in face to face discussions. And with this FA not being able to do it, it becomes much much harder. It doesn't matter what team you play for.

Haha. Maybe thats what it is. Its just funny that people think you can't get good quality jersey's from the same place that makes the real jersey's. There isn't nearly as much security over there as a factory here. Employees there leave with patterns, material and actual jerseys.

Hilarious. You do know that Reebok has factory's in China... and thats where these jersey's are made. Yea the bills store employs Americans, but they aren't the one making the jerseys.

Can't visit til FA period officially opens on Friday at 6 pm. But if you waited that long to talk to a potential FA, you'd be behind everyone else. I agree Buffalo is a hard sell, and FA's need to visit.

I think the other part of this process that no one realizes is, in this hasty FA period, the players don't even have time to visit the facilities of the teams going after them. There are no face to face pitches, there just isn't enough time and resources to do this. Crazy, no?

Ummm they were pretty psyched about getting Edwards, so that doesn't say much about their credibility.

Well said.

Ok going from 30 -32 in Rushing Defense, technically is getting worse. But lets be honest, it isn't getting that much worse. The pass defense basically stayed the same, but improved a little because teams knew they could rush on us. So what does that say IMO? With the same basic players, in a different scheme, we still couldn't stop teams offenses or running attacks. So maybe, just maybe, its the players. As I recall, when the Bills were playing the 4-3 people were screaming and yelling about how much we need to switch to the 3-4. You can't make an omlette without breaking a few eggs. It will take time to develop this new system. Its not an overnight fix.

And as far as #1 is concerned. A good player is not worth $7 million a year.

Here's the thing though... Poz = average... so bring him back would be just like how you describe we bring in average people every year. Not to mention he isn't suited nor did he want to play in the 3-4. Plus he got $7 million a year. Yikes.

Starting LB who struggled playing the 3-4 last season... And we drafted a possible replacement(Sheppard) and have Batten, who is a ?. Like I previously stated its not really a hole. We would need to add maybe another ILB for depth.
