Only 11 starts so far for Mr. Edwards. Each game, you can expect him to get better and to add more deep balls to his regimen of throws. Also, as Trent becomes more and more of an established threat, teams will no longer be crowding the line of scrimmage. This, in turn, will open up our run game. Plus, we played two pretty god defenses in tough weather conditions. This Sunday (I will be traveling to the Ralph!) we play the Raiders. Not exactly on the same level as the Seahawk let alone the jaguar defense. Weather will be sunny and 70-75 degrees at kickoff. Bills could score in the 30's Wil that make you happy?

yeah, what a loser

Taught him everything he knows........sniff

In the same report from Chris brown and in Bill Daily Roscoe Parrish was listed as "not practicing today" (Wednesday) The SPECULATION was that this was related to the knee soreness Roscoe experienced during training camp.

Temps on Sunday in Jacksonville to be low 90's Thank goodness the Bills have a rotation on the line. With Jax having to play backups on the O-Line, I see Jacksonville having tremendous problems later in the game as the Bills linemen rotate. On offense, a healthy Peters to rotate in will be useful but I expect him to pass out in the 2nd half. Jauron: use Peters carefully (obviously, I am assuming Peters will be activated). Looks like a low scoring affair to me.

The weather will be a factor - hot humid about 90 with the usual rain threat. But, the Bills have a good rotation at the key line positions. Stroud certainly will still be used to it. The 6 point spread is, in my opinion, simply the delay in bettor support for the Bills. I see the Bills keeping this very close and if they win the TO battle (or tie), then they will prevail. 2-0 baby!!

Thanks - I only checked Brown's Blog.

Where is your source for this report? I am not finding this anywhere.

MattyT posted crap - he apparently thinks he is a funny guy. Chris Brown just reported that "POZ TURNED HIS ANKLE: Head coach Dick Jauron said Paul Posluszny turned his ankle in practice Wednesday which is what kept him out of practice Thursday. Jauron said he is optimistic that Posluszny will be fine and ready to go for Sunday's game." I am done reading your posts Matty - what an idiot.

Or "Posluszny has an ankle injury. Both he and Jauron are optimistic he'll start Sunday." Can some please tell us where they are getting there information - one must be opinion and the other is fact. please elaborate and I appeal to people to not joke all the time (if that is what this was). TONE is not possible to hear in a post (with emoticons, that is)

I was happy until I saw he picked the bengals to win their division...I think he's on drugs

prepare to be shocked

Yes, I am certain he has been assured this....by his agent.

Just some clarification: The quote came from BillsDaily which got their report via WGR. (From BillsDaily.com:) LATEST BILLS NEWS Tuesday August 19, 2008 Peters Getting Ready To Report? The Bills continue to have little or no contact officially with holdout tackle Jason Peters. WGR is reporting that Derrick Dockery has been communicating with Peters through text messages. Dockery said he thinks Peters will report soon. ***************** The new contract part came from the poster of this Thread. ******************* Here's my take: I ASSUME the Bills are going to be "professional" about this: When Peters reports, they will check him out physically, tell him he has to pay all the fines and to get to work. Meanwhile, they will contact his agent to listen to their demands. The Bills will tell them that Jason is under contract and that they expect him to abide by it BUT that they will take the demands into consideration and, after Lee Evans is signed to an extension, Jason's case for a new contract will be explored. In other words, treat the player and agent with respect but make it clear that they are under no obligation to rip up the old contract and that they defienitely will not reward a holdout. my 2 cents

Sid, Stop wasting your time - The game is not being shown live except locally (Buf and Pitt). I am tivoing the game at midnight on the NFL Access Channel- I may stay up to watch the first quarter. Meanwhile, I will see if I can follow the game online....

I believe Lee played but only briefly and he caught no passes. The Steelers game is not nationally televised. It will be shown first in replay at midnight on Friday - and repeated again at 9 am Saturday on the NFL access channel

I am totally for Bills management here so don't misunderstand me BUT your comments are a bit unfair to Peters. He IS underpaid. he is a probowl Left tackle. No way should he make way less than a left guard. The fact he is complaining about his salary does not mean he does not care about winning - it might simply means he cares about being drastically underpaid. Now, having said that, his METHOD of complaining (holding out) is just plain STUPID - he has three years left on his contract and is coming off an injury. The smart thing to do is to come into camp, prove he's totally healthy and work his butt off. The Bills have publicly stated they are willing to discuss a new deal IF HE COMES INTO CAMP. Peters simply may be rather stupid (as opposed to being uncaring about winning). He is also listening to his agent too much. Peters shoudkl be in camp by sometime next week. I think

This only underscores Peter's lack of leverage. But, PTR - who is the real idiot? The rich agent who loses nothing (except ....reputation? HA!) for screwing up Jason OR is is Peters for blindly following this guy while he is risking EVERYTHING? I seem to recall that Peters got something like a 9 on the wonderlic. That's using the old noggin' Jason! I hope he has at least ONE friend who can straighten him out!

Absolutely! This game is why I feel the Seahawks game is a "must win" - the Bills simply cannot go 0-2 out of the gate AGAIN. Win at home week 1. But.........if the jags are very weak at WR, this means we can crowd the LOS and hopefully keep the game close enough to pull the upset. It would be a big upset IMO. As to jags in the Bowl, you have to pick the Cheatriots unless Tom Shady Brady goes down.

I don't think so. As far as I know, all agents work alone. So Eugene Parker is Peter's agent, period. Parker's motivation is obvious - he took over as Jason's new agent during the offseason. if he works out a new deal, Parker will pocket a percentage of the signing bonus and base salary. If Peters' contract is not renegotiated, Parker gets zip. Jason, of course, would benefit from a new deal but currently is losing $15,000 every day in fines. if he goes back to camp, he at least will make upwards of $3 million. I am sure parker is willing to wait as long as it takes - Jason has to force the issue since HE is the one losing out right now. I figure this will not go on much more than a week or so before Jason caves. My 2 cents.

This thread has simply gotten too long to know what is being repeated - but my (addition?) take on this is this: With three years remaining on his contract,Jason simply cannot win this game of chicken. In order to reach free agency, he would have to report for the last 6 games for each of the next three years. No one doubts (even Ralph I am sure) that Peters is being underpaid but he has no leverage. None. His only option is to report and voice his complaints and say things like "I will never sign a new contract with the Bills again". Better , is to report, and play well and privately complain (and threaten). At 15k in fines every day, he won't be able to afford this for long. Peters will cave and come in. I doubt this will go much past the first preseason game - if that. Or, he can retire on principle. eh, it's only millions of dollars.....

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3510292 Some or all of these injuries COULD reach Week 2 which would definitely raise the Bills chances of winning this very tough game on their schedule. Porter is , as the story states, expected to miss at least the entire preseason. A win in Jacksonville would be huge in my opinion.

With Ellis signed this MAY mean that idiot agent Parker may now have more time to focus on the Peters situation. maybe

yes, Lori, but shouldn't the capsule be written in such a way as to encourage potential buyers to want to read more? Maybe it did for you but I found the capsules to be silly ...at best. just my opinion...
