Buftex

This was one of my all-time favorites...too bad it wasn't at all based in reality!

Just get Clay.

I heard Chip actually accidentally butt-dialed Whaley last week, then they just started talking, next thing you know, Kiko is off to Philly, and 25hadey is the biggest thing in Buffalo!

Remember the Todd Collins re-birth in Chicago? He was a backup in KC for close to 10 years, and never took a snap in a regular season game...goes to hold a clipboard in Wahsington...Campbell goes down, and Collins dusts off the arm, and played pretty well for a few weeks....he spent the following off-season as a "hot" QB FA prospect...kind of worked out like Luke McCown when he went to Tampa.

It does happen with O-linemen from time to time. The guy is good, but he is old...I am not sure I would be that quick to give up more than a 4th rdr for him...we don't have a first round pick this year, you know! You know....that might be a good offer? Chip doesn't seem to worry about injury history...and Goodwin is a burner... I have a feeling he won't be on our opening day roster anyway.

I actually thought Lawson played great in 2013... maybe even better than Spikes in 2014. If they are running something closer to what Pettine ran, than Schwartz, I wouldn't discount Manny Lawson. Good, solid, vet linebacker depth, with some real flashes at times. I like Spikes and all, but he had some pretty dreadful moments out there in 2014. I like his personality and all, but he was a liability at times.

I guess Rex was pretending he coveted Thad Lewis!

Bernie was pretty outstanding from about 1987-91...one of the better QB's in the league at that time.

I stand corrected...I guess what throws me, he was okay to awful for about 10 years in the NFL, before finding his mojo (or maybe just the right situation) at the end of his career, in Oakland. I guess I forgot that the Raiders were pretty decent that many years, with him at the helm. A late bloomer!

Matt Cassel.

Gannon had one terrific season, but was pretty okay to awful most of his career.. Another...Steve Bono! Had a couple of really efficient seasons as the Chiefs starter, under Schottenheimer, only to flame out in the playoffs.

I always enjoy these... ]

This showed on my Facebook que today...staying on topic! https://medium.com/cuepoint/the-beatles-or-the-stones-which-side-are-you-on-533c71da0019

How do you figure? Clay has never been caught......

I have a friend who is a huge Dolphins fan. Clay is his favorite player on the team, along with Wake.

Patriots kicking the tires on some running back by the name of Clifford James Spiller Jr... beware!

Somebody, somewhere, made a great point about Chip... if this doesn't work out for him, with the Eagles, he can just bail and go back to the college game...but this could set the Eagles franchise back quite a bit. For the Eagles sake, Chip better know what he is doing.

I don't think Kelly ever imagined Maclin bolting for KC. That was a bigger loss than they are letting on. Personally, I think Gore is a terrific fit for the Colts. Kind of adds that Anquan Boldin toughness and grittiness that they are lacking right now...

The Bears might not make it to 7-9, and it wouldn't necessarily be because Cutler played poorly. That team is a mess, all across the roster, right now. People who don't really follow them at all will make the easy conclusion that Cutler sucks, but they are discounting an truly terrible offensive line (at least as bad, if not worse than anything we have seen in Buffalo in recent years) and the worst defense the Bears have fielded in about 30 years. Cutlers biggest weakness is that he believes in his arm, before anything else.

I am going with the American albums, cuz that is what I grew up on. While I love "Abbey Road" and the white album (properly known as "The Beatles"), to me, what makes the Beatles, the Beatles is the earlier stuff. I love that "middle period"..."Help", "Rubber Soul", "Revolver"....but my favorite was/is "Beatles '65" It had songs like "I'm A Loser", "No Reply", "Baby's In Black"...just a little more adult than "She Loves You" and "I Want to Hold Your Hand"...but not as trippy as they would get. Just perfect pop albums for me. If you are a little younger, and only know the cd's, you grew up with the British releases..."Beatles '65", "Beatles VI" and "Help" would be covered by the British versions of "Help!", and "Beatles For Sale". "Beatles VI" holds a special place for me, because it is the first record I ever purchased, with my own money. Every record I had before that was a handme-down, or a gift...but I heard the song "Eight Days a Week" and I just had to have it...spent my own snow shoveling money down at AM&A's on "Beatles VI". Soon discovered gems like "You Like Me Too Much" and, my now, personal favorite, "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party"

In my opinion, a much better match for Gore than Philadelphia. The Colts need him...they are close...

Just in part, to wrap my head around getting rid of Fred, you have to think that Rex Ryan has seen plenty of Fred Jackson over the years, and is well aware of his strengths. It may just be a case of really wanting Powell (he is a pretty decent back, and a good guy like Fred), and it just so happens he is a free agent. The Bills can save some cap money, and get a younger player at the same time..a younger player who the new head coach just happens to really value. Not so sure the Bills were necessarily looking to get rid of Fred, as much as taking advantage of an opportunity that has fallen to them...and one that might have some longer positive value for them...

I think Steve Johnson was traded, more because he didn't mesh with Doug Marrone, than because he didn't mesh with EJ. Funny though, the critics are saying "great on defense" "horrible on offense". Now, he is basically, remaking the offense, and people are upset. I love Fred Jackson as much as anyone, but if you want players like McCoy, or to re-sign young, star players like Hughes, you have to make moves like this...
