Watch out my friend. Beerball banned me for many days for saying something someone said was "silly". Saying it is stupid might be enough to get a ban for life here.

Doesn't matter. They'll drop a nickel into a soft zone on either side to take care of Welker.

Then I would buy an extra pair of pants, because he already has the skill set to be one, and he will be one by the end of the season.

Aaron will be one of the top 10 best CB's in the NFL in 2012.

I knew Eric Moulds personally, and well there is a reason why he didn't retain residence in the area. Remember Tom Donahoe receiving death threats?

Many people will be offended, but he is absolutely right. I love Buffalo and the people in it with all of my heart, but it truly is an acquired taste. You either grew up here or you didn't. That's it.

Byrd is under-appreciated by many Bills fans due to his exception ball hawk skills in his rookie year and the diminishing returns in subsequent seasons. However, he has improved and excelled in so many other areas, many so small that they are easily forgotten once the play or game is over. However, those small things are what win games. One example would be Byrd tapping the ball out of Brandon Marshalls hands in the endzone. Small, not flashy, easily forgotten, but incredibly important.

Edit: sorry, about that. Didn't realize we cant post pictures on this forum? Those links lead you to inside pictures. Absolutely beautiful. Not bad...

There is only 15 practices open to the Public this season and just 5 of them are on a weekend. The last practice is on August 14th. Considering there is on average two practices cancelled (or moved inside) each Camp, that leaves only 13 days for a chance to see the team. I thought last year a fluke with Gailey only scheduling 14 practices, as he scheduled 20 practices in his first year. However, it looks like that wasn't the case so if your interested in seeing the team live, you may want to take off of work now. We all know how fast the days go by and before you know it, Camp will be over. Go Bills!

It's not the 3800 yards or 23 TD's that drag a team down. It's the 25 turnovers. Especially the 9 TD's and 15 Interceptions in the second half of the season.

I dont believe it goes to a panel.

Oops, I think you DID lead with your head on that hit Vilma ... $50,000 fine. Well, I think you DID try to intentionally hurt the QB on that sack Vilma ... 5 game suspension. Etc. Retaliation is often not so outwardly obvious.

I think you're wrong. Bell is a GOOD tackle. He is an above average right tackle and an average left tackle. He played very well last season and actually put up better numbers than many Pro Bowl tackles. His foot work has improved greatly since he first entered training camp a few years ago, and his hips are now in line with his lower body chopping. He has improved greatly. $4 million over 2 years is not the salary of a very good LT. A very good LT makes quadruple that. The problem is clearly two fold: 1) Fans will do whatever it takes to bolster credit for the team and GM. Admitting they may have made a mistake hurts their ego. 2) Fans don't tend to know what a fair value is. Saying $4 million over 2 years is unreasonable is simply ridiculous. The average starting Left Tackle in the NFL makes $4 million PER SEASON. Demetress Bell signed a contract to make $4 million over TWO seasons. This is not a case of the Eagles handing Bell a large amount of money. They handed him a VERY modest contract. He is being paid like an average RT. Which is less than he is. He is an above average RT. The Eagles got a deal. If the Bills front office made Bell an offer that they believed was fair for an adequate LT, and it was less than what the Eagles offered Bell, then I am very worried. The Eagles offered Bell a contract worthy of an average to below average right tackle. The average starting LT in the NFL makes double what the Eagles are paying Bell.

What is a reasonable cost for Bell? $4 million over 2 years, and no guaranteed money after the first year? That's what Philly gave him. I think you hit the nail on the head. What makes you think that? Football players, and people in general, make decisions based on more than just money. Bell did not get a lucrative deal by ANY means. He could have liked Philadelphia, the organization, a guaranteed starting position at LT...etc. In fact, I just read this on ProFotballTalk... "...details of the contract make it seem like he’s being viewed as a one-year replacement for his predecessor at left tackle in both Buffalo and Philadelphia. It’s a five-year deal between Bell and the Eagles, but, like many other long-term deals, the chances of Bell seeing the full run of the contract are pretty slim. Reuben Frank of CSNPhilly.com reports that the deal will pay Bell $3.25 million in salary and bonuses in 2012 with no guaranteed money beyond this season." Very good deal for Philly. They could CUT him after this season and owe him NOTHING.

What's the gamble? Philly is giving Bell $3 million this season and $1 million next season. I wouldn't call that a gamble. I would call that a steal.
