dollars 2 donuts

hmmm...interesting. letsgobills46 yeah, and Peyton Manning.

Dork, Bagel on these boards would love ya. He almost told me the exact same thing via e-mail. Now that I have thought about it for a bit and consulted with bagel i can give my opinion: ILB OLB - pass rusher OT - quality, not all-pro gets us to 9-7. As bagel had requested, "what gets us to 12-4?" TE - that can block and catch DE - pass and rush Sorry JH...a dominant C Yes, I honestly think 6 guys gets you to 12-4. Some might say that is a lot, but I don't think it is too many it is more than achievable for this team in 2 years. These guys don't have to be the best in the league, just better than what we have and of pretty good quality. ...well, I would like the pass rushers to be quite good.

I know others have commented the same but I HAVE to chime in. It is absolutely baffling.

Funny, Albany, I just e-mailed that to a friend of mine. However, I differ a little with your opinion in that I don't find the NFC East all THAT impressive...good, but not great, and I will take the improving AFC West b/c they are still the "not very good" AFC West. Yes, I want a piece of Oakland and Denver, i know what KC is like and we still almost beat them and the Chargers are coming around again like they always do, but that is a changing team, none the less. Recap as of now: All 9 teams we've lost to have winning records. 7 of those nine teams are 7-4 or better. 5 of those teams, more than half our losses, are to teams 8-3 or better. Current AFC West: KC 7-4 SD 6-5 Oak 5-6 Den 3-8 Current AFC North: Bal 8-3 Pit 8-3 Cle 4-7 Cin 2-9

Beerball, that is juicy stuff. Thank you. hmmm, if all the Board members pooled their spare resources together I wonder how much money our lockout chest would be?

Sorry, I can't speculate right now as i am headed into a meeting, but you guys tell me to at least get to 9-7 what we would need. Not a Super Bowl team, mind you, just 9-7. For a quick example: three players - OT, pass rushing LB, DE...something like that. If you have a name, go for it. If you think the guys we have are getting good enough now without any changes, with due consideration to an easier schedule next year, feel free to shout that out, too.

I'm sorry I didn't read the whole thread, but don't the Lions and Bengals pick ahead of us, all three of us being 2-9 and the Bills having beat both? meaning right now we draft 4th.

Geez, PTR, I do remember that story. Either by you or by others. Man, time flies.

Hey, I would love it if Edwards could keep turning things around and I know Wade would never come back, BUT, in this day and age in the NFL, Wade is worth near head coach money to be a DC, the same Greg Williams is in New Orleans.

Nice Info. Thanks, BB.

There has not been a shorter, more direct or truer statement than above that I have seen on this forum in recent memory. Especially with respect to something as silly as this that has been going on now for 3 days and even made the Drudge Report. The guy was upset, enough already.

Second best. The exception being Wade Phillips' 10-6 rookie record and playoff appearance, following the Bills' 6-10 campaign of Marv's last year. EDIT: I get what you're saying, if you mean that Mularkey had never previously been a coach and Phillips had. However, It was still Wade's first year as Buffalo coach.

It is not IMPOSSIBLE but just very unlikely. Would I be surprised about 5-11, 5-3 in the back half of the season? No, not with the way this team is playing and i would be pretty proud of these guys. EDIT: Hell, there is an outside chance this 0-8 starting team could be 5-9 before heading into the last two weeks of the season.

I hear ya, Doc, but honestly, why should other conferences be watered down just to make the BCS's feel good about themselves? Case in point being Boise's conference. For example, what if if Akron ripped off three straight 11 win seasons causing other MAC teams to slowly creep up their talent as well. Why should the result of a entire conference gradually pulling itself up via one team's success mean that team should go, "Wow, we are really good, we should get the hell out of this conference."? DD, what would the Atlantic 10 Conference in basketball look like if that were the case?

I knew about the below before this thread, but for cryin' out loud, does anyone here ever READ the articles posted, including the OP? "The Owens-Revis feud stems from previous occasions. During a TV interview last offseason, Revis called Owens a "slouch" when his name was mentioned in a word-association game. Owens has taken the "slouch" comment to heart."

SGBF, of course I want the Bills to win, but man, I would love if we could just keep this game within 7 by the end.

Thanks, DD. No, I didn't read...OK, well, so, we're going to get all over them because they want to make a little money!!

He got fined 1 percent of his salary. ...1 percent.

And whose fault is that? Definitely not Boise State's as they have been desperately trying to get some of the top teams on their schedule, only to be rebuked by the cowards who don't want to have their season put into jeopardy by being upset.

Anything they do, EiE, to cut down on concussions, I'm for it...which is probably the main reason for some of the redesigns we've seen the last few years. Hell, I think almost everyone should be wearing Kelso's Kazzoo helmet from the 90s. BTW, someone explain to me why some guys in this league who have chronic concussions AREN'T wearing the Kazoo helmet? Never, ever made sense to me..."Oh, his career is in jeopardy b/c of all his concussions" Um, then why the hell won't he put on the Kazoo helmet to protect himself?!

Pics? I mean i know what you're talking about, but still...pics?

Love the kid, Canty. Loved him even in preseason. however, I do miss Parrish with his speed and third down presence.

Oh, I'm sure he could. Look at the wonderful job he has done with the trouble making and undisciplined prone Ryan Fitzpatrick.

I'm wondering how long you guys can keep this going. All hail Obi Wan Fitzpatrick!

Seriously, this could be Green Bay's year in the NFC. GO PACK! (no pun intended )
