I'm so with yo on this. I hope Bell is resigned, then you'll have Bell,Lev,Wood,Decastro,Pears with Hariston(Sp),Urbick and Rhino as depth. I would like to see Jasper in some preseason games at right guard. If we do this, we are strong up the middle on offense and defense.

30 minutes?!?!

Sounds like a retirement plan to me.Uhm, did you mean baked by the sun or BAKED?!?!

If we have the run that the Colts did with Manning, then yes. Don't forget there was alot of debate over Manning and Leaf, he picked the right one.The Bill rarely drafted in the top 5, but the Colts almost always drafted in the late 20's and still fielded a quality team for a long time undr Polian.Even if we base Polian on only 2 desicions in his career as a GM (Manning over Leaf, and Edjeran James Vs. Ricky Williams) he came off as a genius, like him or not.

To me the point is Polian does a hell of a job with talent desicions and building a team.The Bills have had the luxury of having high draft picks for what, 10-11 years? We have done squat with them. Do you think we would be in this position if Polian was running things in Buff for those drafts? Polian doesn't seem to "end up" with guys like Losman or Edwards. For as bad as the Bills drafted, they still won 6 to 7 games starting Losman and Edwards at QB. Do you honestly think that they are superior to Curtis Painter? Maybe I am Dopey but, what ?!?! Painter was brought in as a Backup to a very durable HOF QB, he wasn't supposed to be a savior. Polian did the right thing here. As for the Bills, we drafted these guys thinking they would lead our team to the playoffs. Big difference. Painter wasn't expected to carry the Colts, unlike Losman and Edwards.If Polian were looking for a franchise QB, he wouldn't be looking at Painter.If he was still here, I don't think we would have wasted all of those high picks, or drafted guys like Losman or Edwards. He turned the Bills, Panthers and Colts into winners. Franchises that were pretty much in the dumps when he arrived, and "Bam" now they're winners. "till he leaves, that is.

Now that's the Donte I remember!!! The difference is SF has a better team and can mask/hide his deficiencies. Whenever he blew an assignment with us, it stood out because the chances were we couldn't make up for his mistakes. Safety play is definitely better w/out him.

I was over Donte as soon as he left via FA. But I do want to say that Alex Smith and Vernon Davis saved his ASS with that last second TD to win the NFC Championship. Donte wiffed on a pick attempt that let the TE(Graham) score what we thought was the winning TD and looked silly wiffing on another big hit.SF would have been just as good, if not better with our saftey back there. Just saying.

"The Bills owner has said he's dedicated to the team staying in Western New York—is that really true? If he wants the team to remain in the area, and there's a "group" of local investors ready to buy, why isn't he selling now? It seems as though Wilson's ego won't let him live a day on Earth without being the Bills owner. No one said he would be exiled from the organization if he did sell the team to a Western New York investment group. " This team is his life's work. Why would he want to sell it? He is still alive, you know. Ego?!? Well, if I'm Ralph I keep the team 'till my last breath. He's earned the right. It's his team/company to do what he wants. As a businessman, this old man knows what he's doing. You can always shop at another store.

Actually, he wanted a new deal while still under contract. Yes, it was his rookie deal, but he went broke and owes his agent mulah. After seeing reports and pics of receipts where he spent 10k in a 3 hr span at a "scrip" club, I think this is a good example. Is it relevant to his current contract negotiation? It sure is. Like you said, it gives the Eagles leverage knowing he is the type to blow money like that. They can portray him as an imature person who will lose his money again, then sulk when he realizes it. He definetly didn't play as well when this money issue was on his mind. As for being a spellchecker, you knew what he ment.

Thanks, hopefully these guys pan out this season.

Stevie had a pretty good showing against Revis this past season. With Plax most likely not returning, I could see the Jets as players in the pursuit of Stevie. Suprising this hasn't come up already. If it did, I missed it. Thoughts?

Did you vote for Mayor Berry?!

Why can't we fix him like the 6 million dollar man and bring him back?

Maybe he was talking calender year. Before you start, I got ripped for not distinguishing between a calender year and a season on this site. Season starts in Sept and the next season starts the following Sept. Start and end 1 season and begin the next season + a few games and it's barely over a year. Just saying. They switched to the 4-3 two years ago. Really?!? I must have been asleep or drunk for two seasons. Damn beer. I think we all realize the 2010 draft wasn't that good, yet. I'm waiting 'till this season to see how Spiller,Troup,Carrington, and especially Easley work out. If our 1st 3-4 picks play well next season, I'll change my mind on the 2010 draft. Considering it was his 1st draft for us and how late the staff came together, I'll give him a pass(already have).Maybe I'm old(well, not maybe), but it used to take 2-3 seasons to evaluate a draft. I still like that theory.

Enjoy and GO BILLS!!!!!

Bill Parcells used to say " you are what your record says you are", well we our Oline is what the #'s say. The least amount of sacks in the NFL can't be attributed only to Fitz, the Oline had something to do with that stat. This was also done with injuries to our 1st string LT, 2nd string LT,2nd or 3rd option at C,LG switching to LG and C, hell the only guy to play 16 games in his spot was RT. IF this Oline can stay relatively healthy, we will be just fine next season(hopefully we resign Bell). Going into last season, we thought the worst of our Oline, this season I'm just hoping for them to stay healthy. Having said all of that, I still wouldn't mind a LT early in the draft since Harrison is a RT to me. We need quality depth.

So what if the Titans called first. So you're done with this team, just not done bitching on this site about us? Are you really done with this team? Here ya go:

Only if you choose to view the threads. If not, move on and everything is just fine.

I think Belichek was right to want them to use Manningham. That was one hell of a catch. He makes that catch 1 out of 10 times it's thrown like that. Cruz and Nicks were a nightmare to cover out there. It's pretty amazing with as bad as people say Brady played that if Brady and Welker connect on that pass, the Pats win the SB. No doubt.

I would love Decastro on our team, but not with the #10 pick. That being said, we need depth on the inside in case Wood is not ready. And Rinehard didn't look good on the inside,IMO. I would put Decastro in Rinehart's place in a heartbeat. He could play both guard positions. We really need a plan for the backup center spot in case Wood has health issues.

and the Ravens will always be beatable as long as they have Flacco at QB. The Ravens are beatable as long as the WR's suck. Boldin is there only good receiver and he's not a speed/gamebreaker type receiver. He's a slot/possession type. Flacco outplayed Brady in the playoff game, but...Lee Evans and Billy Cundif kinda let him down. Kinda. IMO.
