Seems rather harsh for doing the Jets a favor. If only he had cheated instead.

31-17 Bills.

I think it is likely he will be this year, given the team he is on, and a very big learning curve after only two years of college experience. Overall, I remain unconvinced that Winston will live up to expectations at any point, but for this year, it is certainly reasonable to expect Taylor to have a better year. Colt McCoy may have a better year than Winston. Does not necessarily make him the better QB, just like Winston's pedigree does not automatically make him successful.

Yes, Tim Graham got what he wanted with his article. It got picked up nationally and quoted as gospel. Good for him. No one cares if its true or not.

Yes. Likely with 4.

This sounds very much like the show Marv Levy used to do in the 90's. I would love to be able to see it, but doubt it will be available for out of market fans.

Your math is off. The report was $90 m over 6 years. I would bet that Overdorf knows that is a lowball. Its called negotiation. Nailed it.

Maybe its just me, but I think Whaley and the Bills FO are better qualified to negotiate this deal than you or me. The Bills will want to spend as little as possible, and Dareus will want as much as possible, but there is absolutely no reason to expect this will not get done. Engaging in actual negotiations is not "getting cute".

I do not get the love for this team. I think the Bills expose them on Sunday.

I like what I have seen of Bradford in the Eagles offense in the limited pre-season action, but what is the over/under on games he plays before injury takes him out? Not wishing this on him, but Sanchez is the back up, so they could go from pretty good to mediocre really fast.

Typically running the scout team would be the role for the number 3 guy. This will actually mean more reps for EJ, against the Bills D on a daily basis. If this had been his role from the beginning, he would be much farther along by now. It is not the worst thing for him, although I am sure he is disappointed. Lets see how it plays out. I am not convinced they would go with Cassel if Taylor sustains a long term injury.

As do I. The Bills are capable of shutting the Colts offense down and their defense is far from scary. Remember the Colts only managed 7points against NE in the Championship game, and only 7 against the Cowboys late in the year on the road. The managed 17 points against Houston late in the year at home. None of those defenses are a good as Buffalo's. Frank Gore gives them a theoretically better running attack, but that really does remain to be seen, especially with Gore's high mileage. I do not expect Pagano to outcoach Rex in the O vs. D game. The Bills at home on opening day, in Game 1 of Ryan's Buffalo tenure, favors the Bills. I like Buffalo to win this game, and perhaps big.

The Deadskins will be hard to beat for the bottom of the trash heap. It does not help that they are clearly the worst team in a pretty tough division. I think the next 4 will be Cleveland, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Tennessee in no particular order.

Long way to go until 96. You sure you want to go out on that limb?

Thanks for posting this Bill. I enjoyed reading these thoughts as I do your weekly post game comments. Always food for thought. Ditto on your thanks to the mods and SDS for providing this forum and making it such a pleasurable and informative way to expand our enjoyment of our favorite team. I think this is going to be a memorable season. Go Bills!

Concern for actual facts has never really been part of his deal.

I would assume he has the mother of all concussions. I would not be surprised if he is having some back or neck issues as well. That was a monsterous hit.

He could not be more proud of himself if he tried.

That seems a far cry from he was cut. Sounds like typical ESPN bs to me.

I am pretty sure Jocina's source was Rodak. Where he got the information is anyone's guess. Probably the guy that washes the jock straps.

Well stated and a very accurate portrayal. This is typical Graham. It also does not surprise me that other so called journalists would spin what amounts to speculation into a much bigger story, based on a tweet. Great journalistic integrity there. The whole thing is BS and people should not be dragged into the dirt with Timmy and his minions.

This hotel should refuse to book the Patriots. FYI, for opening weekend they have rooms starting at $199.00 per night and are almost sold out.

Quite a bold prediction.

Who is very unlikely to unseat Urbik as the back up much less Woods.
