ganesh

And today with the signing of wood, I hope we can have a Wood/EJ combination for the next decade in Buffalo.

And not to forget who Welker had throwing the football.

And yet the Bills have two 1st round picks and a two top 2nd round pick in the Defensive backfield....That is 4 starters out of the 4 positions...You are simply not going to draft more DBs at the top of the draft to be your # 5 through 8. It is bad that players like Brooks and Butler have not gone on to be good role players and that Byrd is limping around and Gilmore is injured for the next 5-6 weeks.

I guess the teams that have a waiting list for Season tickets, meaning all seats are sold for the season, will definitely benefit from the 4 pre-season games as they are pre-paid and the team itself does not care whether there is a full house or not. For teams like the Bills that do not sell all tickets via Season tickets, it does hit them hard on the wallet.

+1. Though I still like Dick Enberg for the color

If Tuel is successful in completing passes that Patriots allow him to do, we should be ok with the Running game. The issues in the past has been that the Patriots would stack the box and force the QB to throw and our QBs failed.

I I am really worried about the newly-built Steven Ridley who rushed for 1250 yards and 12 TDs last season. If our front seven cannot stop him, we will have a LONG Day at Orchard Park

I understand..However when your family is grieving and needs your support (When you are the head of the family) you don't run away to a football field.

John, Comparing the Redskins to the Bills is not Apples to Apples comparison. Shanahan and Chan Gailey are not even in the same league. I was simply stating that the Redskins success last year was a lot due to the running of the unheralded Alfred Morris, more so than due to RGIII or Shanahan.

And just goes to show how different is Marrone compared to an Andy Reid...Reid chose to go back to the football field coaching when his son passed away, a son who never got the time from his father who was busy coaching a professional team. Marrone understands what it means to have a life and fittingly speaks the same terminology to his players...Kudos to Doug!

Completely agree...Every Brady is playing in the preseason and almost got injured. That did not stop BB from starting him in week 3.

Snippet from an article on CBS with regards to cuts: Older players can be in jeopardy during the final cutdown because versatility becomes a factor. Players making up the back end of a roster are required to play special teams. Older players are at a disadvantage for these spots because they usually haven't been special teams contributors since early in their careers -- before they became starters. Backup older players don't have much utility unless they are making a significant contribution to the offense or defense (i.e.; pass rushing specialist, nickel defensive back, third-down receiver, etc.). Example: Four-time All-Pro Nnamdi Asomugha could find himself out of work in San Francisco if he doesn't win the third cornerback/ Will this really happen and if it does, will the Bills jump and get him. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/23334849/agents-take-understanding-the-next-few-days-of-the-nfl-calendar

important important important!

They could by just by Kneeling down. Anyways, even without kneeling they got ZERO first downs in 7 drives last Saturday!

Actually, it has been the Patriots Running game that has KILLED us in the recent past than Brady.

The key players are actually going to be Mario and Carrington. If these two guys can put the heat on Brady and keep his A** on the floor of RWS, we got a chance

I think we are past the point of having a coaching staff that drafts player A at X position and transforms them to play position Y.

And yet he traded for Randy Moss!!!! I would have to blame Rogers for his exit and not the Bills coaching staff...He signed with the Bills with the clear understanding that besides SJ there was no WR on this team and yet he could not transition from a UDFA to grab that 2nd WR spot. In fact there were two open starting spots with SJ eventually moving to the slot. People always want to blame others for their woes, but when they had full control of their destiny and yet chose to ride the plank, they deserve to be let go.

1967 depending on what "restrictions" you want to add to your question!

You mean the STs

+1. Especially considering how many jobs are on the line!

+1. Only in New York....The City that never Sleeps!

And so did Rob Johnson, JP Losman and Trent Edwards.

Agree and Disagree...This front office blew it the same way Gailey did not really see the difference between Edwards and Fitz and then cut Edwards after three games. However, Jackson while healthy did not show anything to this coaching staff to retain him. Why would they let him go, if they were sure he was better than Kolb. Kolb is like Rob Johnson and Trent Edwards...Plays well in practice, but just doesn't feel the rush around him and takes unnecessary hits and does not have the physical strength of a Rothelisberger or Rivers to come back from the hit(s). I am not sure why Fitz is even in this conversation. There is no way for the Bills to know in April that EJ and Kolb are going to be hurt after Game 3 of Preseason. It is entirely possible that Fitz could have been hurt if he had been the backup. Fitz did not want to be the backup in Buffalo. It would have really been an uncomfortable situation with the Veterans and the Rookie....Look at the situation in NY....Do the veterans play for Sanchez or for Geno Smith...By replacing Fitz with Kolb, at least the team don't have any direct ties with Kolb and really don't care if it is EJ or Kolb. This is simple common sense to picking your 3 QBs.

Don't we already have Brad Smith and multiple threads discussing whether we need to keep him on the roster or not? Why add another one to the misery!
