Classic.

Agree it was the right move and many if not most coaches would have done the same thing, but I can think of at least two coaches who would have run a play there - Belichick and Ryan.

The market value is very different if there is an option to move the team.

The Senator never wavers - a true fan.

You should know better than to try and be positive in the week after a Bills loss. Have you not heard - the sky is not falling, it has already fallen, and based on the evidence of one game we all know that perpetual doom has decended on Bills Nation. They will be lucky to win a game, the whole team sucks, Nix/Gailey/the entire coaching staff and front office sucks, Mario will never make a sack and is a total bust, Fitz is the worst QB ever, etc. Do not enjoy the season one game at a time as they are played whatever you do. Come on OP, get with the program.

You should definitely stay home.

Yes, based on the evidence of a single game, the Bills Defence appears to be awfull. Let's order the bullets for the mass suicide right away. It is hopeless.

I have been reading TSW all week so I forecast grey skies, torrential downpours, tornados, and locusts this Sunday.

If he was he would not be on the practice squad seems to me.

You could be right about your last statement but that's not saying much. Tebow will, based on last years stats, probably complete less than 50% of those passes, even if they are simple. Stopping the run is the key. If they are doing that those quick short passes will be easily defended, and he is a very iffy downfield threat. If he thinks the Bills will not be prepared for this he should be sadly mistaken. They still have to make plays, but I like Buffalo's chances. More bluster from sexy Rexy.

My thoughts exactly. Fortunately for Sabchez, he at least does not have to compete for the hot woman with Tebow.

Exactly right. The point I was making in my previous post. If it were the Bills claiming Mark Asper, a 6th round pick, off waiver a week before the season, we would have reason to be concerned. This has been the case far too long, but no longer is. Progress.

Time will obviously tell, but it was not my expectation this year that all the Bills draft picks would make the team. What you should expect after 3 years is that enough quality depth is being built that it is difficult for low round draft picks and undrafted free agents to make this team. This was not the case 3 years ago - they all made it- whether they were ultimately NFL quality players or not. Some people on this board seem to believe that each and every draft pick should be a sure fired winner. The fact is it is always a crap shoot and any team that finds more than two or three quality long term contributors in any given draft is indeed very lucky.

I did watch the games and watched Carder closely in the Detroit game. I was unimpressed and not at all surprised he was cut. Every year the fans here pick out a favorite long shot and this year it was Carder. I do not profess to be an expert at evaluating NFL players, but I saw nothing in his play during the preseason to indicate he was worth keeping. Just did not see it.

So I guess your point is you would rather have Lynch than Fred Jackson, right? Otherwise, not really sure what your point is. Lynch was not a good performer for the Bills when he was here. The bills also got a 4th which turned out to be Hairston I believe. 6th round picks do not always work out. Sometimes, players who you might like to bring back on the PS get claimed.

Cutting Heard has nothing to do with that.

Really just going by the fact that Moats seems to have landed ahead of Morrison on the depth chart. You may be right about their relative play - I cannot say I have paid that close attention to it. I do think this is more about Morrsion than Shepperd. They have a surplus of LBs and they need to figure out who can play where. They are going to end up cutting someone they would like to keep at this position. Fans seem to be very down on Shep, but I do not think the coaches are.

This has nothing to do with Shepherd. Moats has outplayed Morrsion for the outside spot and they are trying to see what Morrison's value is. Can he back up both spots? If not, perhaps they keep McKillup.

You are a complete dick.

There is great value in what Potter can bring. As someone else has pointed out, Potter also seems to have potential to be our kicker for the next 10 years or more once he learns how to kick FG in the NFL. It will be a very tough choice. The Bills are already going to have to cut some good football players at other positions. This is one less roster spot for a WR, DB, DL, OL, or LB they would like to have for the future. Keeping Potter would be a real luxury.

I would be surprised if Martin does not make the team. He is great on special teams. DeHaven gets this one.

You have an interesting style. Throw out a bunch of unsubstantiated opinion and dare people to prove you wrong with facts. I will not bother to point out the number of starters on IR as well as depth players on IR, or certainly not argue the value of these players, as your premise seems to be since they all suck it does not matter. This would be laughable if it was not so intellectually bankrupt. Instead it is just sad. Beyond that, nothing you have posted on this topic bears discussion.

And why do you care what they paid him? Is that salary coming our of your pocket? Or are you going to argue that they could have signed somebody else with that money? Who did they not sign or could have signed if not for Merriman? Thats retorical by the way because you do not and could not know. As the Bills showed this year, whatever they were paying for Merriman, or Kelsay or anyone else was not a hindrance in signing free agents they targeted, when they wanted to. Merriman was a chance that did not work out. Big deal. Move on. It would have been great if it had worked, but it did not. Still a great move by Nix in my book, even if it did not pan out.

Ho- hum Even more "ho-hum" than your previous post. If you are worried the sky is falling, I suggest you buy a helmet.

No point in wasting reps on a guy they know will not make the roster.
