This is no surprise. Any time a high first round pick busts, there is always another team that will give him another shot. This happens all the time. They very rarely do better with their second chance, but it's just part of the process. He's was going to get signed somewhere - I'm a bit surprised it was the Jets, but he was always going to get picked up by someone. He will probably get 1 sack all year long, and it will be against the Bills, because those will be the only games he really gives max effort.

Levitre just isn't that good. Wood is a stud and was a great pick. Levitre is not panning out quite as well. That doesn't mean he's a total bust or anything, but so far he's just not working out as well as Wood has.

Why was my post deleted? WTF The Patriots are successful because they have good management, good coaching, and good players. Trying to discredit their success is just sour grapes. Learn to take your ass whipping like a man, and don't make excuses or cry about it.

He's got the whitest name in the NFL.

good post

1 post trolls happen every season, too. I don't think the Bills are a playoff team, but I was pleased to see the first team defense looking good out there last night.

Maybe you should write a letter to Chan and Wannstedt - they could use this kind of information!

You guys do realize that Kelsay taking some snaps and Carrington taking some snaps are not mutually exclusive, right? They have this thing called a "rotation" in the NFL. Believe it or not, they can actually both play IN THE SAME GAME. Cutting Kelsay from the team entirely is not a requisite for Carrington to get his chance.

How many yards did the reverse gain? If the play went completely away from help, why do you think it was unsuccessful? You are trying to take one play that the defense stuffed, and use that as your argument to say that Kelsay played poorly in that game? Nice logic. ro·ta·tion   [roh-tey-shuhn] noun

Droolers ITT Kelsay struggled to adjust to the 3-4 last year, no doubt. He was awkward out in space. It was an experimental process. Towards the end of the year he looked better. Last night he looked fine. He's not going to be some highlight reel guy, but he did a fine job out there. As someone else pointed out he spent his time with a hand in the dirt, so the coaches perhaps will utilize his strengths a bit more this year. Everyone hopes Carrington is the future. But the reality is Kelsay is still holding him off for the job. If you want him cut, you are honestly embarrassing yourself by saying so. It would be ideal if Carrington developed into a good player and Kelsay then became a solid reserve - but why cut him now? That makes absolutely no sense. He can help this season, perhaps a transition will be made to Carrington and perhaps it won't, and things can be reevaluated in the offseason.

I agree. Dareus and Merriman looked good out there. I've always wanted Spiller moved to some sort of slot hybrid type guy - little screens and drags and quick slants and stuff like that is perfect for him.

ya, that reverse totally broke contain and went for huge yardage bro!

Merriman flushing Cutler into Dareus gave me a boner.

I love how they used Spiller. I've been saying to make him a slot receiver hybrid type from the beginning. Getting him out in space with some little screens or drags or quick slants looks good to me.

Bills starting defense gave me a boner.

I've said from the start they should try to use Spiller as a slot receiver hybrid type, like they did with Percy Harvin. He still might not be a bust at running back, but he's the type that needs an o-line to create nice holes for him, and he has the shiftiness to elude that final level of defenders and then the speed to go. With mediocre or bad o-line play, he's just not the guy that's going to bust through arm tackles in the hole and grind out solid yardage. Run some bubble screens for him. Motion out to the slot and run a drag route. That sort of thing.

Here are their 2nd rounders: 2000 - Travaris Tillman 2001 - Aaron Schobel 2002 - Josh Reed 2003 - Chris Kelsay 2005 - Roscoe Parrish 2007 - Paul Posluzny 2008 - James Hardy 2009 - Jairus Byrd 2009 - Andy Levitre 2010 - Torell Troup 2011 - Aaron Williams If you take away the first round, the Bills aren't terrible drafters. They just get so many good picks, because they are so bad year in and year out, and they manage to miss on them so often. It's a painful, painful cycle.

Evans trade is a joke. A fourth round pick? You might as well have just given him away for free. Evans isn't all that he used to be, but he still had some gas left in the tank. I understand the Bills are not a playoff team this year, and building for the future is great, but you can't just give away all your good players for crappy draft picks.

I hope they get it done. Love me some Big Kyle. I don't know if anyone heard it, but he gave a GREAT interview on Jim Rome a week ago or so.

5-6 wins with more contributions from some of the young guys is a successful season

The only hope of finding someone dumb enough to take him in a trade would be to change his position to WR and offer him to the Raiders.

KELSAY

Sunday Ticket doesn't help for home games that are blacked out if you live within the blackout radius, as a heads up.

It's mainly generational for SURE. If you are old and were alive to see OJ play and such, you are gonna like the standing. If you are in your 30s or so and grew up with the heyday of the early 90s Bills, you will always have a soft spot for that charging buffalo. If you are your 20s or teens, the Bills were a pile of crap by the time you were old enough to really understand football, so you may associate the charging with losing, and anything "old school" automatically gets a couple bonus coolness points.

The Super Bowl props are almost always sucker bets. They are based on what people are willing to pay, not any sort of true odds of the event happening. There are some decent lines in there, though. This seems to be the sweet spot: Atlanta Falcons 14/1 Pittsburgh Steelers 14/1 Baltimore Ravens 16/1 Dallas Cowboys 16/1 New Orleans Saints 16/1 Indianapolis Colts 18/1
