If your picking in the top 7, you pretty much have to take a RB number 1. the top 10 RB's this season are head and shoulders above the rest imho and one wont fall to you in the 2nd. If youre happy with jones-drew or willis mcgahee as your #1 rb, take tom brady in the top 7.

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. But we won't get to it.
I hope you knocked on wood

How does that help us? If he plays well and starts all year, his value goes up, making it more likely that we won't be able to afford to keep him. And we certainly won't franchise him.
Greer wont be a bill next year. We're gonna have to pay Evans, Peters (maybe) and will probably lock up Edwards IF he doesnt get too banged up this year. While I like Trent, I hate injury riddled QBs and would rather get rid of him if he's gonna get hurt every year

I thought Greer had some tremendous games last year...every time I remember seeing him, he was in the receivers back pocket. Some of those throws were completed, but still...the guy is like glue on his man
werd. i love greer

I am mildly surprised that Robert Felton did not get signed to the PS, but that group looks OK to me.
me too

bad mistake by nfl.com. On that note Rudi is pretty much done. I still think the guy was nothing more then a product of the talent around him for awhile. He's just so one dimensonal. One of the most boring rb's I've ever watched.
no doubt

Preseason is over and the roster is set. The coaching staff has had an entire off-season to evaluate, plan and implement changes for this upcoming season. The front office has dropped some new talent into Jauron's lap. The young players on the team have gained more experience from last year.
While this is always an optimistic and anticipation-filled time of year, I for one are looking for results from this team and coaching staff. Tangible results in terms of wins and losses that would support that the team is moving in the right direction. No more hope or hype, just results on the field in real games.
Here is what I intend to look for from this team and staff in the early weeks of the season:
1. Since Jauron has been the coach, this team has not looked ready to play in week one. Even in a loss, they need to look competitive, energized and disciplined on opening day.
2. Edwards needs to show he deserves the starting spot.
3. The healthy and more experienced defense needs to make a big move from bottom of the league to at least in the upper half.
4. Turk needs to show that he was a the single best choice for the OC job. This means more points from the offense and evidence that they can put away bad teams or win some games from behind.
5. Jauron needs to make good in-game decisions in terms of clock management and critical plays where the head coach typically has input into offensive and defensive play selection. Good use of last 2 minutes in each half. A little emotion and "calling a spade a spade" publically wouldn't hurt either. Show us some damned determination coach.
6. Special teams need to continue a high level of play.
Anything less than 3-2 going into the bye week will make the playoffs an uphill battle.
It's "show time".
I think the season rests in the hands of our OL. NO matter how good our D or ST plays, if our O cant get blocking, we're in trouble. I love our blocking schemes since mcnally left, lets hope Chambers and Dockery at the Tackles will be able to produce.

They could suspend Brady against the Chefs and they'd still win the game.
For those who have access to a sports bookie/book.
Bet of the year, Chiefs under 6 wins for the year. +115 atm
-
The Buffalo Bills are not intimidated by the New England Patriots any longer, the Giants layed out the blue print and then stamped it into history forever and ever, for everyone to see. Tom Brady becomes ordinary when rushed or knocked down and most defenses are going to be all in his face this year including ours.
The Pats are going down.
While our defense is better than last year, what makes you think that we can bring it to the pats like the giants did last year? I don't see it.
-
I'm floored by these rankings. I'd have to say top 5, if not number 1. being behind the Giants, Pats, Chiefs is embarrassing. Dude is clueless

I've watched football for a LONG time, and to my eyes Bruce WAS the best ever! If the man had played his entire career in Dallas, the case would be closed in a hurry!! I have never witnessed, nor will I ever again, a player who absolutely scared the manure out of a team more than Bruce Smith! Laurence Taylor was isolated on the weakest links offensively and turned loose, and Reggie White and David "Deacon" Jones played in exactly what your question brought up.... the 4-3!! Bruce is simply the best, in my book, and I feel wonderful every time I think about him being a Buffalo Bills DE!! What memories....
definitely the best. thx bruce

..other QB's would have made the same throw, and gotten picked.
What other qbs? Rob Johnson? Billy joe hobert?
Just a stupid comment

PASS ON BRETT FAVRE. IN FAVOR OF TRENT EDWARDS???
seriously?
-
New season. Same ol bills. We better sign peters soon or I'm gonna bet the under in total wins.
-
I'm pretty sure JP is gonna get some time as a backup...I'm hoping Trent can stay healthy for 16 games, but I think thats a long shot. JP's gonna have a chance to get himself a contract with someone else next year. I believe he'll be ready to step in admirably when/if trent goes down. then back to the bench.

After 3 years as the #8 selection, the Pro Bowl should be a given.
If he was in the NFC, he probably would have made it last year (ken hamlin? please).
It's unfortunate Sanders, Reed, Polamalu, Harrison, Rhodes are amoung the afc safeties. While I think his skills and leadership will make him an elite safety, making a probowl doesnt mean jack. I just wanna see wins. If we make the playoffs, whitner is a pro bowler to me, even if he isnt named.
-
he tipped me $2 bucks...while I was working in a position that is normally tipped $50-100. he said to me...sorry man, all ive got is hundreds...i said, np I have change...he says, ill get ya later and hits me with $2....LOL.. karma

i was driving the car too

Something good is brewing in Buffalo, something real good, can ya feel it!!!!
I've thought the same thing the past 10 years.
and i feel the same this year. here's to hoping we're finally right
-
He's a franchise LT and he's young and only getting better. pay him or watch him holdout and our team suffer.
-
If we don't renegotiate his contract, you really have to second guess our front office. The offseason was great, but a failure to secure our only Pro-bowl caliber O-lineman in the last 15 years is baffling (sorry rueben, you weren't that good). If Trent Edwards is going to be a good pro, its going to be because he has blindside protection. resign him. now.

Marshawn is BY far my favorite player, but he is NOT better the AP. get over it.

depending on what we do with Crowell.... I may have to think LB

I live in Las Vegas...Game starts at 10am
-Wake up between 6am-7am after staying up til 2-3am because I was excited for the game.
-Pack a bowl. Indulge.
-Either jump on the internet and read about the game or play a game of madden, bills vs (team we are playing that day).
-Go to the sports book, place my bets. this weeks big ticket is Bills +1 and Cowboys -4 2 pick. $100 to win $260.
-Finish off that bowl.
-Go to Home Plate, the sports bar when I watch every game. Patron silver chilled and newcastle til the games done. packing one up at the end of the 1st 2nd and 3rd quarters.
-if the bills win, ill stick around for the 2nd set of games. If they lose, I go home and eventually sulk myself to sleep.
