Great info. Moulds and Big Mike are killing this team.

Tequila has a crazy effect on some people. nuklz2594 posted last week -- while stone sober -- that the Bills need to draft Vince Young.

People don't e-mail me this sort of stuff any more because my standard response is a direct link to the snopes.com page that refutes the story. I usually hit "reply all" as well, so that everyone else the person bothered knows not to pay attention to this sort of crap.
Yes, I'm occasionally a jackass.

That right there explains a lot. Thanks for clearing things up.

What I'd like is for somebody who REALLY knows what they're talking about to break down Nate's play last year and tell me what you saw. Seriously. I don't claim to hold myself out as an expert, and I certainly don't have the time to watch film.

I second the recommendation. I didn't watch the whole thing, but the segment concerning the AFL/NFL merger was very interesting. Rozelle has always been given the credit for making the merger happen, when it appears he was actually "told" to make it happen by the NFL owners who were afraid of the escalating price war over players. Rozelle apparently wanted to fight the AFL to the death, and even broke down when the NFL owners told him what needed to happen.

Hell freaking yes.

The Bills actually discussed this last year. McGee had been lobbying for it. Mularkey said publicly that he was open to it and they were looking at the possibility but they never did anything about it. He surely has the talent, and could easily be thought of as the #5 WR and put him in for a few plays a game. Some as a decoy and some designed to put the ball in his hands.
I remember this as well. For all of his supposed offensive imagination, the schemes MM concocted were certainly offensive...and not very imaginative.

This post was very helpful and made me feel good this morning. Thanks.

Do the terms "common sense" and "TSW" belong in the same sentence?
(No, I didn't read more than the first page of this thread)

I was running a bit late this morning and got into my car later than usual -- wow, was that a happy accident. As I'm driving to work, JJ pleasured herself on Howard's birthday present -- saying "oh my" doesn't do it justice.
Aye caramba.

E-ball's Rule #1 for Dining Out: Franchise restaurants are for work lunches and airport layovers.
Rule #2: If you must go to a franchise restaurant for dinner, eat at the bar. Easy access to alcohol, more interesting atmosphere, and no annoying waitress displaying her pieces of flair.
-
Upgrade your restaurant choice.

I like your middle two paragraphs. They are relevant and the personnel moves suggested could still be implemented. I agree with a large part of what you propose.
Your first and last paragraphs, though, are irrelevant and superfluous -- at least to me, it's a waste of breath to pontificate as if TD and MM are still here.

Seriously...if the Bills don't have at least 4 or 5 new guys legitimately pushing for OL roster spots after the draft and FA, I'll be very disappointed. I fully expect to see a minimum of 2, and preferably 3, new starters on that line come opening day.

From the Buffalo News:
"The Bills also considered Baltimore secondary coach Johnnie Lynn and former Green Bay coordinator Jim Bates to be their defensive chief. The Bills reportedly were offering former Green Bay coordinator Jim Bates roughly $850,000 a year. That would have been a bit more than Bates was making in Green Bay, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. According to a source close to Bates, it would have taken a more substantial offer from the Bills to attract him to the position. "
-So now we now the salary was competitive. I think the guy has underestimated his value. As of now I don't think he's got a new job.............
If so, he should have counteroffered to be the Bills' DC for 750K...

Final Results -- the new unis suck. Marv, are you listening? Make the throwbacks permanent.
Sincerely,
TSW

Fewell's bio from the Bears' web site:
Seven-year NFL veteran Perry Fewell is in his first season as the Bears defensive backs coach after being hired on January 20, 2005. Fewell spent the previous two seasons as the secondary coach for the St. Louis Rams after serving five seasons in the same position for the Jacksonville Jaguars (1998-2002).
Fewell has coached two Pro Bowlers during his NFL tenure: safety Carnell Lake with Jacksonville in 1999 and safety Aeneas Williams with St. Louis in 2003. In his first season in St. Louis where he coached under thendefensive coordinator Lovie Smith, Fewell helped the Rams tie for fourth in the NFL with 24 interceptions. In Jacksonville, he helped the Jaguars register a franchise-record 19 interceptions in 1999. Fewell has coached in the playoffs in four of his seven NFL seasons.
Prior to advancing to the NFL, Fewell spent 13 seasons as an assistant coach in college. As the secondary coach at Vanderbilt from 1995-97 (assistant head coach/secondary in 1997), Fewell tutored two players who are currently playing in the NFL. Minnesota's Corey Chavous, a 2003 Pro Bowler, finished his career in 1997 with the fourth-most interceptions in Commodores history before being drafted in the second round by Arizona. San Francisco cornerback and returner Jimmy Williams finished his career in 1997 with the seventh-most interceptions all-time at Vandy after beginning his career with one season under Fewell. Originally drafted in the sixth round by Buffalo in 2001, Williams started a career-high six of 12 games played for the 49ers in 2004.
Fewell began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at North Carolina from 1985-86, followed by a season as the defensive backs coach at Army in 1987. He coached wide receivers at Kent State from 1988-91, before returning to Army as the defensive line coach from 1992-94.
A four-year letterwinning defensive back at Lenoir-Rhyne College, Fewell was named the team's most improved player in 1983. He attended South Point High School in Belmont, N.C. and was inducted into the Belmont Sports Hall of Fame in 2001. Fewell and his wife, Kathleen, have one son.

One of the breast moves the Bills have made this offseason, for sure.

You're starving for Bills' news and you came here? Silly boy. This is a place for knee-jerk reactions, character assassination, inane suggestions, and (mostly) sophomoric humor.
Update: we're now approximately 1.5 hours from D'men's next topic start. Oh, what will he come up with next?

All I was saying is it was worth a look. There are many stupid posts here (like the ________ for DC) I hardly see why this one is that laughable. I think its someone we should/could look at. That's all. I remember a few years back that many people thought we should draft this kid. Now he's got a few seasons under his belt, he's looked okay and he could compete with JP. I would like for the Bills to get rid of Holcomb, he is a waste of a roster spot, he should never be considered our starter.
I was just throwing out an idea. I apologize for wasting your precious time.
Sorry, tuck. It's difficult to sort the "here's a legitimate thought I had to help the Bills" threads from the "JP sucks and hasn't proven anything so let's schitt-can him" threads. The latter is much more prevalent on this board, and (in my best Stephen A. Smith voice) quite frankly, most of us are tired of it.
Turner Gill gets it!

I've never understood why UB shouldn't (and couldn't) be a legitimate and perennial "player" in D1 athletics. They're the largest public university in the state, for crying out loud. I really hope Gill can turn things around for football -- it seems as though the schoool is on its' way in basketball.
They have a crappy logo, though.
