Dude...Way to bring facts to the table.

Looking at the players from this list, how many of the ones who had a 2+ mil cap hit earned their keep? There is your problem. Paying out very good contracts to mediocre players. Aaron Schobel(DE) $0 $8,729,795 $0 $0 $0 NO Derrick Dockery(OL) $0 $6,356,720 $0 $0 $0 NO Langston Walker(OL) $0 $6,006,720 $0 $0 $0 NO Marcus Stroud(DT) $0 $5,673,386 $0 $0 $0 YES Chris Kelsay(DE) $0 $5,000,000 $0 $0 $0 NO Jason Peters(OL) $0 $4,450,000 $0 $0 $0 NO Roscoe Parrish(WR) $0 $4,261,720 $0 $0 $0 NO Terrence McGee(CB) $0 $4,125,000 $0 $0 $0 YES Kawika Mitchell(LB) $0 $4,006,720 $0 $0 $0 NO Spencer Johnson(DE) $0 $3,506,720 $0 $0 $0 NO Melvin Fowler(OL) $0 $3,323,388 $0 $0 $0 NO Lee Evans(WR) $0 $3,130,344 $0 $0 $0 YES Ryan Denney(DE) $0 $3,106,720 $0 $0 $0 NO J.P. Losman(QB) $0 $3,068,250 $0 $0 $0 NO Josh Reed(WR) $0 $2,925,000 $0 $0 $0 YES Donte Whitner(S) $0 $2,734,500 $0 $0 $0 YES Robert Royal(TE) $0 $2,331,720 $0 $0 $0 NO Brian Moorman(K) $0 $2,243,148 $0 $0 $0 YES

Officer, I'm Ko Simpson, I lost my starting job this season and will be out of the NFL in another year or two.

Not that I'm a fan of bringing el pothead back, but how much playing time did he get over the 57 career games you are using to come up with your number of 1 sack for every 13 games? I guarantee you he would be more productive at DE than the "next" great white hope, Chris Kelsay.

Rookie of the Year voting should not take into account what a player MIGHT have done if he got more playing time.

Good. Now remind her that we(TW customers) still don't have the NFL network...even though I'm sure it is no fault of TW.

If Jones wants to be pissed off, he should direct his anger at Tannenbaum and Mangini who decided to kick Pennington to the curb and bring in Favre. PS I think Favre should have stayed retired, but it is pretty classless of Jones to rip they guy while he is still your teammate...at least for now.

http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/12/31/...r-voting-bogus/ He is living in a dream world if he really believes that he should be the NFL Rookie of the Year instead of Ryan. [edited]A case could be made that he wasn't even the best rookie RB....see Steve Slaton.

It all depends when season ticket renewals are due. All it takes is one big off-season move(FA, trade or draft) and everyone will once again get the fever. Perfect example...Bledsoe trade.

Age - 49 Outlook - Still wishing for a Sabres or Bills championship in my lifetime, but caring less as the years go by.

And this one... "Go Bills and take the Sabres with you!"

I am looking fo the site that does compensatory pick predictions(how many picks each team gets and what rounds they will be in). I know it has been posted here before, but I can't find it. Thanks!

Fewell will continue to be exposed as a fraud when the quality of opponents gets better next season, Turk will be out coached by opposing DC's and Jauron will continue his tradition of blandness and bad clock management. Make all the trades and FA moves you want...5-11 next year, 6-10 if they get lucky.

Another solid move from the Donahoe era. Our director of pro personnel at the time(and still now) must not have thought highly of him.

Joe Major? http://www.weck1230.com/personalities.html Didn't WBEN930 used to have a Jim Major as one of it's news anchors? I wonder if Joe is any relation?

I like this one even more... http://www.myfoxboston.com/myfox/pages/Hom...mp;pageId=1.1.1

I remember Jaws or one of the other analysts pointing out(with film to back it up) last season how Crowell takes himself out of the play a lot. That being said, he'd be a big improvement over Ellison.

Nice descriptive thread title.

The Bills either overpaid for Dockery in a BIG way or he got lazy and lost interest once the contract was signed.

Superstar? I'd settle for him being a "solid starter" at this point. Too many people want to make him more of a player than he is because of his weekly team meetings at his house. I'm now reading excuses here that he will be a better player when the front 7 is revamped. What does that have to do with poor tackling angles and tackling technique.

RW wants to wait until all the top candidates have been hired so he will not have to make excuses as to why he choose to pass on them. I am not looking forward to the RW's painful press conferences like the ones from a few years back.

Why? Didn't they just try that with Jauron for the last 3 painful seasons? I believe it has a lot more to do with who the OC & DC are going to be. Fewell and Schonert/Fairchild? Seriously? I still want to see Jauron sent packing, but bringing in experienced OC & DC with good track records is a must. If the new HC can fill one of the coordinator positions, that would be okay too.
