Agreed. I do not believe the Bills will offer anything approaching the Osweller deal. If they can sign him to a team friendly deal, why not. Otherwise, let it play out.

That too bad. I was looking forward to a matchup with Geno and a guaranteed win. Now they will have to work for it. I still expect two wins against the Jets, just not as easy as it would have been with Geno under center.

Yes. No question who I would rather have on my team.

You would think, but then again, "college educated" in the context of a football player at Florida State has a completely different meaning.

Yikes! After seeing this, I take back my previously posted opinion that they do not have enough to convict him of DUI. He is toast.

Actually, it is nonsense. You are correct.

I will go on record now. There is no way that Jimmy G beats the Bills. And no, I do not feel the least bit bad about facing NE without Brady.

It never ceases to amaze me that Clayton actually gets paid to offer his opinions.

Luckily for the Bills this is probably the deepest position on the team. It was very unlikely Karlos was going to be in game shape to start the season anyway. As for JW, people are assuming he will be suspended but I am not so sure. Without the blood alcohol test, it would be unlikely the DA would roll the dice in court on the officer's word to get a DUI conviction. They will probably end up plea bargaining this down to some sort of moving violation. He will probably have his license suspended or the test refusal, but no criminal conviction. Do they still suspend him for that? I doubt it. Even if, it is doubtful anything happens before the start of the season. If the Bills can avoid an early injury to Shady, none of this is a concern to me.

Are we analyzing the trade or just whining about past glory? In the past two years SJ has played in 23 games, gaining just over 900 yards and has 6 touchdowns. These are Chris Hogan like numbers. The Bills received a third round draft choice in 2015 for him, which turned out to be John Miller. Call me crazy, but I do not see how SJ is any better than the mix of receivers on the roster now. I would rather have Miller. As long as we are being nostalgic about the past, let's put the band back together and bring in Fitz and Gailey. SJ could post some numbers, but we would lose 10 games. Just like old times.

Very much agree. TT needs to show that he can make plays from the pocket consistently or he will be much easier to defend. We definitely saw this in the second half last year. If he can show that, the Bills will be a beast to defend.

If he is ready, but I think he is a long shot to be ready to play. That was a horrific injury. I would not be surprised if he is essentially redshirted this season on IR. Has anyone heard a progress report on Easley? I do not recall one.

Tweaked his hamstring before the finals. He will not be in football shape when camp starts, and now will be nursing a hamstring. Very unlikely he makes the team. Time to move on.

I had not heard that story. You are right - that sucks. But, the beef on week is really, really good .......

This is a reasonable approach given the cost of contracts for top DB's, but the fly in that ointment is Taylor. If Taylor is not signed this year, you will want that franchise tag for him, assuming he performs. I am not sure they have the bucks to resign Taylor now, unless that can get Gilmore's cap number down some via extension.

Like any other fan, Jim Kelly has an opinion and is entitled to it. It won't be long though until we see some posts regarding confirmation of Pegula's intentions or some other conspiracy theory. Personally, I do not think it as black and white as that.

Yes, the Patriots have lost games in the last 5 years, including to Doug Marrone who managed to hang on to squeak by the Pats B team in a meaningless game. I was pointing out that you would likely not find any, or certainly not many, coaches who have more than 4 wins against NE during Belicheats tenure. I am not suggesting it's great, only that it is as good as anyone has done. As for that half a decade, I could not care less other than his record as Bills coach. Right now that is 0&2, and needs to improve this year.

Wow. Half a decade sounds like a really long time. So you know for a fact there are other specific NFL coaches with more than 4 wins against Belicheat? The graphic in this article would suggest otherwise. http://boston.suntimes.com/bos-sports/7/119/241572/graphic-shows-bill-belichicks-record-vs-every-nfl-team

If either of these guys could provide an upgrade over Robey that would be big for the Bills D this year. I respect what Robey has done as much as the next guy, but the fact is he is often exploited in coverage. Without McKelvin, they need at least one of these corners to step up or it will be a long year. On another note, the Broncos could be in trouble with Talib. Even if he recovers from the gunshot wound, he may be headed for big legal trouble and potential suspension.

Be careful Bandit, you are dangerously close to being labeled a "homer", who has his "blinders on", while "drinking the Kool-Aid" thus preventing any rational thought on the subject at hand. There is, after all, only one reasonable opinion to have. Mario was very likely a goner as soon as they signed Dareus and Hughes to those big deals. The Bills knew where they would be on the cap and had planned to move on already I believe. He made it an easier decision.

http://www.cover1.net/2016/02/20161212015-bills-defensive-study-defensive-line/ The article linked above is an excellent read on this topic. The author breaks down the stats on DL in coverage last year and provides some useful insight on the scheme and performance.

Certainly true but it would be very surprising if he is close to being football ready. I think this is likely to take some time.

That is an absolutely awesome idea. I would definitely go if I were in town.

I grew up watching Cookie, then OJ and had my first season tickets at the Ralph watching OJ. The experience of the 2000 yard season was unlike anything else. Never to be repeated of course because it was a 14 games season. I was incredibly sad when I first heard the news of the murders and it became more and more apparent he was guilty. You sort of had to be there. I do not feel sorry for him, but is a very sad story for all involved. You are dead wrong about that. He would have been simply remembered as one of the greatest of all time, which he was.

I know you get it. You are old school, CB.
