Big road trip coming up after tomorrow. If they come out of it with 10 points, look out!

Cool. Thanks for clarifying. I still have hope.

I'd be thrilled if they were bright enough to pull that off.

Just say NO to Frazier. Please.

That's big of you Munley. But you weren't the one using vulgarities. I think the reaction and language used by Byrd is what was highly inappropriate. He actually wished incredible personal pain and misery on another board member. And this coming from a guy who was just recently the beneficiary of some goodwill from this board. He talks of karma, but that response just floored me. Really speaks to the character of a person. Some people...wow.

Mort has had it out for Ralph since John Butler shared with him what it's really like in this organization. Not to say he's wrong, but Mort brings it up every chance he gets.

What, no Hitler/TO video?

Agreed. My wish list at the start: 1. Cowher - doesn't want to be here 2. Shanahan - doesn't want to be here 3. Gruden - not available (or doesn't want to be here) 4. Billick - WANTS TO BE HERE 5. M. Schottenheimer - staying retired (or doesn't want to be here) 6. Rivera - my guess is he's the one who said he wasn't thrilled about the Nix hire. He was in SD with Nix when Nix had the fallout, plus his connections to Fewell i.e. doesn't really want to be here

That pretty much puts the nail in the coffin on Cowher coming here. Time to move on folks.

He just means Cowher is not going to coach in Buffalo in 2010. Now that there's another opening, it's possible he could coach next year, just not in Buffalo. I wonder how many times the Bills are gonna try to win over Cowher and be told "No Thanks" before they move on.

Usually I don't find these youtube links all that funny, but that was a pretty good one. I hope Logan is feeling the shame!

+1

Now Shanny knows how to get it done. He's assembling a nice staff there in Washington.

Cool. Another thread on a topic already being discussed. To keep it relevant, sure, let's be consistent. Get Saunders, keep Edwards. Rinse, repeat.

This just keeps getting worse. Say no to Frazier and Saunders, please.

It basically means whatever cash outlay there is for the year they count against the cap, even though league rules allow you to amortize it (signing bonuses) over the life of the contract. So we sign a top 10 draft pick, and say one big name free agent, you could easily have 20 million in bonuses. The Bills count that 20 mil against their cap spending for the year, whereas under cap rules if you amortized it out over say 5 years it would only be 4 million towards the cap. Makes a big difference if you're trying to assemble a roster with playmakers.

That's eminent

It means Cowher doesn't look so favorably on this cash to cap BS system Ralph has in place. Doubt Ralph (or should I say Littman) backs off on that one.

Wasn't Bruce DeHaven the special teams coach?

Please cite a credible source. That just didn't happen. Sure, it took Shanny all of 24 hours. And he wouldn't pay Wade either after he left, I'm sure that goes over well in coaching circles. Hell, even Mularkey took a lesser job just to get the hell out of here.

Just pure speculating, but perhaps Rivera? Seems there was some fallout in SD. Plus he has ties to Fewell, who may be less than enamored with Nix after just getting fired.

Berchtold should be fixing this, but as usual, he is worthless and does nothing.

Trust Jay Glazer.

You mean the part where it says it's pure speculation?
