this is crazy talk. fred is 30 and probably has 2 more seasons in him at this kinda level[max]. spiller is a young guy who will be the feature back.
Could not agree more 808! You dont trade your #9 draft pick when the Pony in your stable is 30 years old, I don't care how great he is playing. Even if he has 3 or 4 good years left, you still need a dynamic backup that can fill in when needed for breaks when he is tired or god forbid Freddy gets hurt.

A Rochester D&C article alluded that Nix/Gailey drafted Spiller because they didn't realize how good Fred Jackson is (I presume they knew Lynch was going to go). Assuming we have more need positions than draft or FA signings can fill, would it make sense to trade Spiller? Naturally, it would have to be the right deal, but considering we need a DT, OT, LB, TE, QB (franchise, that is), it might be a viable option. If we could get a #1 or #2 pick, or perhaps a player for player swap for one of the need positions, it might get us one step closer to playoffs in 2011. Trading for a quality TE would help the offense immensely.
WTF are you smok'en because I want some! There is no way I do this if I am Nix.

OK who's grown one in solidarity with our newfound leader?
*raises hand*
Started growing mine after the Detroit Game though not for the reason one might think. I was to sick and tired to Shave and by the time I went back to work a week later it was nice and full so i didn't bother to shave it off.

His job is being Jim Kelly and I would hazard a guess that no one does it better.
In terms of the specific financial arrangements between the two I think the ruling line is the one where the Bills traditionally say about all contractual interactions that they do not reveal details of contracts.
The general thing which we do know is that Mr. Ralph made a "handshake" deal a number of years back to not sign a new contract a year before he hit FA as the Bills were hard up against the cap but to reward him in his next contract (this strikes me as a clear violation of the salary cap but given this was a personal and not a written deal between a player and an owner neither the NFLPA or the team owners were not benefited by complaining- though I would not be shocked if part of the reason why Mr. Ralph took an inordinantly long time to make the HOF was the cavalier manner he blew off the cap.
At any rate, only Mr. Ralph could make such a deal and he simply made a bad football judgment that even this fan could see from the upper reaches of the Ralph and on TV saw Kelly was done a year before the Bills reached taking TC arguably early and then rushed him a long to start.
It would be my GUESS that either Mr. Ralph simply wrote Jimbo a check for a cool million or instead he gave Jimbo what in essence was an annuity which paid Jimbo the million in upfront worth over several years with a kicker which guaranteed a specific rate of return on the million as it was paid out over 10 or even 20 years.
Such a payment would benefit Mr. Ralph as the upfront outlay of a large was of cash is not on the books, Jimbo is financially bound to the Bills for a long time and has to answer to Mr. Ralph. For Jimbo there is likely no investment he could make with a wad o cash if he received it upfront than investing in the Bills who are committed to extensive payouts.
Even better for both, with this type of deal it is virtually impervious to challenge by either the NFL or the NFLPA (hence they penalized him by keeping him out of the HOF.
My GUESS is that this the type of deal that the Bills and Jimbo likely have since they do not generally release details.
Seriously? This has to be the dumbest idea I have ever heard.

The information you seek is here.
Thanks Nanker. But how does the FBI Ciber Crime website help me? LOL!

Check close to gametime for live links there.
Thanks CodeMonkey. I appreciate it. Maybe this time I will add it to my Fav's.

Sorry if this was started already this week. I Don't have the difrrent sites that I can get the game online. Can someone please reply with a few diffrent sites that I can use. Thanks.

This week everyone can get a much clearer look at the true Ryan Fitzpatrick, and why he will always be a backup. Jacksonville is terrible, and having a good game against the worst secondary in the league doesn't prove much of anything. A solid Baltimore defense is going to put him on lockdown, and his QB rating will fall.
OK..... Anyone who did not know that Ryan Fitzpatrick was not a great quarterback, please raise your hand. Hmmmmmm I don't see any hands???

My Dad always told me "Son, never go backwards in your life. Always move forward." This applies here. For better or worse Bill Polian is not our GM, and never will be again. B. Polian is one of the if not the best at what he does for sure. That said, he is old and getting ready to hand the Colts over to his Son. Meaning.... he is going to retire soon. If Nix is not what this team needs (and I think he is IMHO) than Can his a$$ and find someone younger and at the top of his game at evaluating talent and hire him.

Sign Joey Porter. Not for his production (not a ton left) but for his experience, TRUE leadership and attitude.
-He was a DE at Colorado St. and converted to OLB when he was drafted by the Steelers. He learned from the best and would have been able to help with the transition.
-His leadership and attitude would have been invaluable. I always laugh when people want to point to Lil Donte as the Bills leader and then you look at a guy like Porter who sets the tempo for the D and plays nasty as hell. Donte is busy twittering and whining about other teams laughing at the Bills. I wonder what would happen if Porter and his D were being laughed at?
Basically, Buddy Dits chose a loser like Kelsay to lead the way for his vision and that is why the Bills suck.
Ummmmmm, yeh.....What he just said.

Can you say Rookie salary cap. Assuming an agreement can be made with the Players association and the owners. Otherwise there will be a strike and it wont matter anyway.
-
This is my off season, although not practical.
On Offence Keep Wood, Levitre, Spiller, Evans, Nelson Jackson, and Wang
On Defense Keep Williams, Maybe Troup, and the Defensive back feild except Whitner....
On Special Teams keep Lindel and Moorman
REALESE EVERYONE ELSE, cause they obviously suck. They cant open holes on offence, can't tackle and close gaps on defense

I think I spotted Hamdan at the Buffalo airport this morning. He was riding on a white horse and his face was shining like the sun. On the back of his horse rode George Seifert.
WOW! I actually got goosebumps.......Ummm never mind it was just a cold chill.
-
It happened just like I said in the last Trent bashing thread. If he failed against the Packers that Fitzy would start.....Thank God cause I could not watch Trent suck any longer.
-
This is the dumbest thread I have ever seen.
-
Look for Trent to start this Sunday. If he flops again.....Fitzy will be under center in week 3. IMHO.
-
I will take the Saints......Oh right they already played.
Just kidding!Baltimore over the Jets
-
Well, here's to the Dolphags starting the season 0-8!
I second that!

-
Bills go 8-8. Sweep the Fins, split the Jets and we will have to wait another year to beat the Pats.
-
Listening to the media say the Bills are hapless, hopless, bottom dwellers, etc.... gets a bit tiresome. Even when the Lions were 0-16, many of the games they played were close even entertaining. I am to the point now that I don't listen to the media reports anymore. I read the informative articles about whats going on and as soon as it turns negative(if it turns negative) I close the page. If they lose on Sunday they lose. Oh well. Do I think they will lose???? Well thats another story. Bills 27 Dolphins 17.

Starting the Stache on Monday morning after we squish the fish!

Those comments can most certainly be argued. Good thing you're not a litigator.
I couldn't agree more. I have seen many positives with this years team in the preseason! T.E. is playing with much more confidence, The run game will be a major upgrade from last year, and although not great, the receiving corp will have a much better year this year as well. Just IMHO
-
Just a quick list of former Bills that didn't make the final cut
Derek Fine (TE) Hou
Sam Aiken (WR) NE
Josh Reed (WR) SD
JP Losman (QB) Sea
Not a big list. But then we haven't exactly been stockpiling talent either over the years.
And that should suprize anyone how?

OK, just for fun answer the following question so that at the end of the year we can go back and check it. Which team(s) in the AFC East will have a worse record than the Bills this year? All those at TBD feel free to go on record too!
See my answer below.
*****************************
I would like to go on record. IMO the Jets will have the worst record in the AFC East. Sanchez is going into year 2, most QB's tend to have difficulty their 2nd year. Teams adapt to the playing style now that there is plenty of game film on them(I can thing of a few exceptions, but as a general rule I will stand by my statement). He will have to learn how to adjust and he will struggle. He very well may become a top tier QB.......but not this year.
All of these Defense Coordinators getting fired
