I would be happy with any of these players RB- Michael Turner- If we wan't to replace Willis WR- Drew Bennent- #2 WR TE- Eric Johnson- If fully healthy OG Kris Dielman, or Eric Steinbach- Must sign one of the two DT- Vonnie Holiday- Run Stopping help OLB- Cato June- Best Cover 2 pass LB in football CB- Nate Clements, or Asaunte Samuel- TM is not a #1 corner

Your right, that’s what I was implying. If we switch uniforms we will magically win the super bowl and fairy’s will fly out of JP's ass.

The reason for the new uniforms was to usher in a new winning era in Bills football. It didn't happen. This team has history, these uniforms don't. A simple throwback like the one linked would be perfect. It represents Bills history, and the lunch pale attitude our team has. Of all the people Marv should understand why we want a different uniform.

This is how I would breakdown our offense, and who would make the best choices to address each position. The number after the position reflects how critical of a need I see it being. 0 reflects no need at all, while 5 is a critical need. I'll throw up the defensive side of the ball next week. QB- 0 JP has earned one more season. Either Nail or Kelly should be ok to keep the back up duties. RB- 1 Willis is better then average at RB, and would benefit with improved line play. That said I don't think he is the ideal player Marv or DJ want for this team, or the systems they run. If a move is to be made we would need to lock up a VIABLE alternative. Even if we can deal Willis for a 2nd rounder, creating another need in the draft is not a viable alternative. To me the only guy we could go after who would make the move worthwhile is RFA Michael Turner. In a perfect world we could sign him, and then trade Willis for #2. This is all a very far fetched, but any scenario which upgrades us at RB over Willis would be. WR-3 We need a certain type of WR, I'm just still not sold on this being among the biggest needs on the team. Drew Bennett seems to be the best fit for what we need, and has the character Marv is looking for. If we want to address WR Bennett would be the method to do so. If we choose to address WR instead of OG, DT, or CB if Nate leaves, it would be a Millen like error. It's a need, not a priority, and an expensive need at that. TE-3 Royal is an adequate receiving TE. If we want to bring in somebody else Eric Johnson would be my first option. I like Graham but his propensity for minor injuries is scary given how young he is. Johnson just had the major injury two seasons ago, and if he's recovered he would make a good addition. He's shown potential in the past, has character, and shouldn't break the bank. Maybe two half way decent TE's would equal one good one? OT-2 Peters will be entrenched at LT for years to come. Pennington still has a lot to prove, but he's probably worth waiting on when you consider other needs, and available players. OG-5 Gandy is a serviceable LG, far from great. He's also a FA. With just serviceability across so many positions on this line I would not look to retain him. Steinbach is the guy many want the most. Paired with Peters we would have one of the best pass blocking left sides in football. What I want more though is a run blocking LG. If Peters has any weakness right now it's playing a little high in the run game. We don't have one run blocking bull on this line, and a player like San Diego's Kris Dielman would give us that. He's tenacious, character filled, and dominating in the run game. He won't be cheap either, but no true solution to this decade long hole will be. At RG Duke Preston is still young and may be given another year. We could upgrade RG by drafting Justin Blaylock. Draft prognosticators have him rated as the top G, and he’s supposed to a mauler. Perhaps Bluefire could fill us in on him a little bit more? If we drafted him and followed threw with either Steinbach or Dielman we could have the makings of a dominating line. With so many other needs this big of a guard overhaul might not be in the cards. My feeling is we will sign one of the big two at LG and give Preston one more shot at RG.. C-1 Like RT, or RG we could upgrade at C. Flower is nothing special, but upgrading here is not a priority. Flower played beside inexperienced or just awful G's on each side nearly all year. You can only do so much when you’re the meat in that OL sandwich.

Wait..... What year is it again?

KC beats Colts- Law and Surtain match up well enough for Larry Johnson to do them in.

Sounds like a porn star

My girlfriend’s brother runs this site http://www.letsgowings.com he called us during the ceremony in tears. One of my all time favorite athletes and I'm not even a hockey fan.

I posted a thread about them switching two weeks ago. If it happens I fully expect somebody to create a separate thread congratulating me on my prognostication powers. I also think we need try and be less egocentric around here

thanks for the explanation. Love that song. My Mom's an English teacher which left me with a decent vocabulary. It also let me to skate threw life without ever spell checking my own work... At 24 I'm finally now getting my there, they're, their.

I have a decent vocabulary, but what the heck does "eminence front" mean? I only ask because I love The Who's Eminence Front. Maybe I would like it even more if I knew what the heck it was refereeing to.

No doubt. If it's enough booze to make you pass out her eyes would barely be open. At the least they would be glazed to all hell. She's either on coke, x, or some other stimulant. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if she was trashy enough to take crystal meth.

I don't loath some of the original reality monsters like the new ones. The Survivors and American Idol type shows seem to have a place in reality land that’s different then the real world spin-offs. I also don't mind the shows that try to educate like Dog Whisperer or Flip That House. What I truly can't stand is the reality TV shows that tries to get people to envy the lives of the characters, or the ones that get viewers by having the most dysfunctional people or plot lines possible. It's mind boggling to me how any intelligent adult finds this crap interesting. Lots of people do though. So many that they keep spawning at a record paces. After a long day I don't want more reality, I especially don't want somebody else’s fake reality. If you feed the obsession I'm talking about please explain to me why, but before you do strike yourself in the head a few times with a blunt object.

I was the one that posted the Devine footage. At the time he was a sophomore, only around 160 lbs. He was still pretty incredible to watch. You know if he added any weight since then?

Chicago- NFC Champion New England- AFC Champion New England- Super Bowl Champion On a side note I see the Colts losing to KC in the WC round.

http://www.citymayors.com/society/uscities_safest.html Not sure how much things have changed. This study was published in 2004 ranking Denver 9th safest in violent crime among the 48 cities with a population over 250,000. It ranks 22 out of 48 for murders.

I figured it was on the low end compared to most major American cities. Denver is actually worse? Very surprising.

This is horrible news. Denver is about as safe a downtown community as you'll fined. The Denver post sighted an altercation at the bar, nobody knows if it's linked to the shooting or not. Some are discussing how the culture of these athletes increases the likelihood of these events happening. All I know is that being a man in today’s society means walking away. I'm not saying if he did that in this instance DW would be alive (nobody knows what happened). I'm just saying in general it's better to swallow your pried and avoid confrontation. Way too many people own guns, and way too many people can't just throw down and be done with it.

Lot's of scramblers can have success throwing in high school or college. It's the result of teams lacking the athletic ability to stop the scrambler from scrambling in base formations. Teams dare the scrambler to win throwing because they most certainly will win if you can't take away their legs. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you end up letting the guy run and pass all over you. In the NFL teams don't have to take such drastic measures to take away a QB's running ability. At the least they will let a QB rip off some long runs because they know it can't be done consistently enough to win. So to be good long term, and consistently you need to be able to win on the merits of your arm, and your arm alone. If in a couple of seasons Vince Young can show that in the NFL I'll eat crow by the gallon. But nothing he's done at Texas, or in high school, or thus far in the NFL shows that.

People with racist agendas discuss how smart a QB needs to be, and how few black QB's you see in the NFL. They conclude the black player isn't smart enough to be a QB. This couldn't be further from the truth. The problems start for these guys in terms of NFL preparation right from the beginning. It is not the primary goal of a high school/college coach to prepare a player for the NFL. The primary goal is always winning. If you're a coach you want to put your team in the best position to win each game no matter what level of play you’re at. In high school the athletic QB's can have more success running then passing. The athletes just aren't good enough to stop the scrambling QB's from running or optioning. These coaches aren't racist, they’re just trying to win, and winning is more likely when you use the most consistent risk free method of moving the football. A similar story happens in college, especially in the case of the super QB athlete like Vick and Young. The whole time these guys could have NFL caliber arm strength, but it's never harnessed like it would be for the pocket passer. They're offering a more effective way of moving the football, which offers a more consistent way to win. This continues being true all the way until the NFL. Now everybody is fast and athletic. The hit's and speed in which the game is played is mind boggling. The athletic QB can no longer do the things he did for the past 6-8 years in high school and college. They must now learn to win on the merits of their arms. That's very difficult for pocket guys who’ve already been doing it for 6-8 years. Its borderline impossible for the athletic QB to do it with a fraction of the experience. We eventually saw Vicks athletic ability give way to his inability to read and throw. It took longer then normal being that he is not just a good athlete but a world class athlete. The same can be said about Vince in terms of athleticism. He still hasn't showed us he can win on the merits of his arm, and that alone. Until then nobody can say with certainty that he will be any different. I see the same quality’s as the rest of you in terms of leadership but it all boils down to how he was brought up as a player, and what that has meant progression wise for others in a similar situation.

Yes, just like in South Park the movie.

Flawed how? Because I compared Young to the only guy who's ever resembled his style of play? Sure Flutie "just won" so did Vick early on, so do a ton of these scramblers early on. After a few games, or in some cases seasons, it stops. Coordinators learn tendencies, the hit's start adding up. What did Flutie do after he left Buffalo? What is Vick doing now? I implore you to give me examples of scrambling QB's that sustained play over 5 seasons. I'm not talking about the Donovan McNabs either, I'm talking clear run first QB's. For every one that survived more then a handful of games, or seasons, I could name 100 that haven't. I'll pick this discussion up again a few years from now, until then I'll side with history.
