so if they werent part of the institutions, it would not be college team. so you want to make college football the developmental league for the nfl, while at the same time getting rid of college football. the state of college football and basketball is totally at the fault of the NCAA. there would be less money collection by the universities if it's job was to actually police these schools rather than just come down on them when a 3rd party gives word of violations. all the NCAA does is collect money, their only real purpose is to create rules and take money, it is not their responsibility to make sure those rules are enforced.

stevie wont be happy. fitzies contract is for less than sj was asking, which i hope to god that he doesnt get more than a the fitz contract. they arent talking because johnson and co. are most likely not grounded in reality in terms of what he is worth. get pears done first. get freddy a new contract immediately, the guy deserves it. it is also a good bargaining tool as well. if fred signs for similar money to fitz(just slightly shorter due to age) there is no way that johnson can say he is worth more to this team than either of those 2.

omg did they get their cookies yet

if the bills are the real deal, the last game of the season will be meaningful, which means he is worth the 5mil or whatever he would get this year

these numbers seem justified. i thought he might get a little bit more, but this is solid. front end loaded, so if needed trading him later on could be done with out too much issue. this seems fair for both parties. i am happy. here is the deal, when you have a top 15 qb, you hold onto him regardless. the time it takes to develop a guy, and the chance he flops, really make it necessary to keep serviceable and good qbs regardless of what team it is. i also like the deal, it sets the standard for fred and steve. i know johnson is asking stupid money, well there is no way he gets more than fitz. i see him signing a 6 year 40mil contract guarantee 18ish. fred should get possibly 4 years and something inbetween those 2 guys most likely closer to fitz.. fitzies contract keeps these other 2 a bit more realistic, the numbers i heard flying around seemed a little out of control.

so a refresher. the skins are missing either on the roster or due to injury. 1. a reasonable qb 2. their #1 reciever 3. their rb 4. their starting mlb we are in huge trouble if we lose this game. how can you lose to a team without a qb or a running game. now take away fletcher, and a loss for buffalo would be devastating in what it says about this franchise. with that i predict a win. handedly

its so true. the tin man always had heart, scare crow brains, and lion courage. kelly bruce and thurman had all the tools to be successful. looking back a bit, especially after he tarnished his rep after coming back to set the franchise back a decade, it becomes clear. also note indy with the change over to caldwell. without peyton that team is doo-doo. and neither dungy nor caldwell could dig them out of that hole. there are teams that coaches lift up, those bills and these colts are not examples

1. olb. i am actually relatively pleased with kelsay on the week side but we need a real pass rusher thats not always injured. this will also improve the cb 2. wr. stevie is good. i am sold on him, but his contract negotiation helps put things in perspective. he has one very good year, and wants top 5-10 money. i like him, but hold your horses, youre not that good (hopefully yet) nelson is showing more than promise, but after that we could exchange them all, I don't care. we need another serious threat. if aj green or dez bryant is sitting there at buffalo's 1st pick you run to the podium, and laugh some more at stevie for asking for top 10 money 3. ilb in a 3-4 you can never have to many linebackers 4a qb i am fine with fitz for the time being, but if there is a guy that maybe slips from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd i would grab him and sit him down for the remainder of fitzies contract. this is the only scenario i would touch a qb this year and the reason it is at 4 4b ol. why not nobody ever looks at a team and says that is one crowded ol 5. cb. i think we need help here, but in a 3-4 the added lb help will make them better. i am a fan of the bpa. it may take longer than to build that way, but i really dont think that there is a strong argument against it. you always have the best player you possibly could have had. i hate that the ravens are too good at saftey and lb and dt. how lame are they

gottt itttttt

id think about dropping 2 to the dolphins to keep luck out of the division sarcasm

fred jackson is the only one in the past few weeks to warrant the money they are looking for. fitz is not a 10 mil per year back, and stevie is not a top 10 wr right now. give him top 10 incentives, but guarantee 6.5 a year. with that, they should all be retained

huh? he takes forever to rooster (i said it) the ball back and let it go. i think u made this up

the call was fine. we have to remember this is a day where wind blew the ball out on a kickoff. as devils advocate it think we hit a 49 yarder. i didnt mind the call. it was ok. we lost the turnover battle there. naaman had a first down and dropped it either earlier in that series or the series prior. there where a number of things that went into that loss. i have less of an issue with the play call and more with how the ball was thrown. easy td if fitz leads his reciever

the offense is struggling missing 3 recievers and a slightly gimp stevie. our lack of talent here is shortening the field for us. freddy had some good runs, but he was under 3 yards a carry if you discount the 80 yard td. suprisingly even without impact it seems kelsay and merriman do have presence, it was noticed today. what confused me today was that the dl stopped getting their hands up at. this is why we lead in ints, not our backfield or dl. we create our own opportunity, and today we showed that we dont have the talent alone on that side of the ball quite yet. hopefully it is there just not yet developed. the constant use in teh 1st of saftey blitz with wilson was perplexing to me. so far our greatest player in the secondary was basically deemed non-existent because he was busy failing at rushing the qb. for gods sake, send reggie corner or anybody else in a white jersey. this would be a non issue for me, but it was all 1st half long and i didnt get it

most of the 1st half i was getting furious with the amount of saftey blitzes with george wilson. this was really confusing for me. cost us a ton of point in the 1st hal. also the d-line stopped getting their hands up. thats got to be coached. i like gailey, but the things we normally do well where misexecuted this week and it cost us the game. that and both int's where fitzies fault

that namaan td was after the play clock, perspective both ints where on fitz. we are clearly missing our wide recievers this week. we have little option to freddy. i bet it hurts stevies contract negotiations. the injuries on d killed an already dieing defense. i dont understand why we couldnt get our hands up in passing lanes

Jauron did a lot wrong, but the guy new his secondary. he did a great job in philly last year with them. we lead the league in int's as well. i hated him and glad he is gone, but you got to give credit where credit is due. i could make any secondary in the league better. it stops there

its not an ive heard of him response. but instead of trading for anybody with our wr woes, i would much rather approach TO. he is familiar with fitz sign him for the season and never again. just a stop gap guy while we wait for injuries. whats the worst that can happen, he plays poorly, that wont be worse than the 10th guy on the depth chart (that might actually be true). i didnt want him in the off season, and i dont want him next. but both of our situations seem to match perfectly. we are playing good ball right now, and would hate to see us grab an aging non-hofer for a draft pick when we could just simply get one for some relatively cheap cash. ps i hope obd is over the media play with big signings, please no lebron james...haha

i hope this roller coaster takes us to 5-1 at the bye. at the very least we finish the season at .500 end the year 10-6, possibly 12-4, assuming the wheels don't totally fall off after they bye. we do have a tough road streak after the bye. a loss at nyg could nab us at a 9-7 which is also a solid record, but i am hoping for 10. after the last few years. i take our wins we have and hope for .500 for the rest of the year. its just something ive evolved to over the years

i was nervous about this game. i thought it was possible for philly to get their season back. i didnt think they where a dream team but i thought they where a winning team. a 3 game losing streak can be overcome, but 4 is really pretty devastating. with the right bounces possibly a wild card team, especially with the erratic play from the giants and cowboys i thought they could maybe get a wild card. so did i think the bills where better. yes!! did i think that the eagles where going to drop 4 in a row nope. this was a must win for them, and i think by losing in buffalo they blew their season. i root for the bills all week all day and even more on sundays, but sometimes you get worried about some games, this was one.

it will go to the feel good lions or the easy choice aaron rogers. my vote goes to a guy who wont take a single snap this year...peyton manning

link? and while we beat the pats and cinci beat us, is cinci a top 5 team. just putting things into perspective. cinci superbowl maybe?

we have to take the good with the bad with him. we lead the league in turnovers, we lose edwards we may lose those turnovers as well....just saying, something to think about

this first started to make me really mad, it took possibly 6 to finally figure out the sarcasm

my guess is they would have punted, and had zero intentions of going for it. if the eagles hadnt jumped we would have taken the 5yrds and given moorman a little more room to punt
