Jason Taylor has signed for two years with the New York Jets. Another good signing for the division rival Jets. Coupled with the Pats signing Torry Holt today, the Bills just keep falling farther and farther out of any dream for competing in the division. Seems like every other day, someone from the AFC East, besides Buffalo makes a good signing improving themselves. Gonna be a long year for the Buffalo faithful.
Come on, we took the TV's out of the weight room....look out we are super bowl bound!
-
I guess they have written off this year, the guy flat sucks. I am praying this is nothing but pre draft posturing to get teams to think they dont' want a QB they are really after.
Otherwise this team is playing for the 1st overall pick next year.
Brohm+Edwards+Fits = No starting QB
-
I hope not. I could see us picking him up . Skins will no doubt shop him around. Somebody`s reject to us ? Just say NO.
Would be par for the course i'm afraid...
-
McNabb, who is in the final year of his deal, made this happen by making it clear he wasn’t going anywhere else but Washington. When the Buffalo Bills expressed interest – and even were willing to give McNabb a contract extension – he passed on the offer.
Cry all you want, but at least Nix tried to get him here.
PTR
I don't believe this for a second...that is BULL.
-
A similar deal would have him in the AFC east. Then grab the LT released by the cowboys. What is so difficult?
Other teams just move faster.
Nix and Co will also be kicking themselves as they watch him carry the skins to the post season.
This franchise still has no balls. The upcoming season is going to be another waste.
The biggest news (so far) out of two bills drive this offseason: They took the TV's out of the weight room! YAWN....
-
You can't trade the Beast! It just wouldn't be right. He's had his problems, but who didn't last year (except for a very rare few)? Beast Mode epitomizes the Buffalo Bills. Tough, rugged, not easily taken down, punishing.
Build the lines and let him take a few opponents down!
Don't trade him, cut his ass. The guy is a waste, just like Willis McGayhole was.
-
I don't know about anyone else but I cannot watch Trent Edwards throw a 2 yard pass on third and nine anymore.
If the Bills don't improve their QB situation they have pretty much written this season off IMO and I don't want to pay to watch it anymore.
How do you know what will happen? Can you see the future? Yea its possible TE wil be the same old TE, but this is an entirely new staff. Use this draft to fix the O-line and D-line, then address QB next year. Do you really think they will go to the superbowl (or even the playoff's) if they sign a vet QB? LOL!
-
If/when Whitner is traded/released will that cement Marv as the worst GM in NFL history? I know Millen was awful but Marv's decisions wereworse. Not trading down when Denver offered, Tutan Reyes, Bennie Anderson, trading up for McCargo and Poz, grossly overpaying for langston Walker, Robert Royal, Derrick Dockery, and listening to a cancer riddled Bill Walsh about Trent. Fred Jackson. That's his only contribution....
MATT MILLEN 31-84 record overall with the Lions...look at who they drafted when he was there..... This guy has to be one of the worst (if not the worst) GM's in the history of the NFL.
-
agreed 100% you are saying the most accurate kicker in bills history is bad? good lord man the countless games he has lost us..really? I remember 1
\
Agree....there are much worse kickers in the league that kick in DOME STADIUMS...........
-
Offense - Marshawn Lynch
Defense - Donte Whitner
-
The best football the Cardinals have played in decades came because they brought in Kurt Warner to be a "bridge" to the Leinert era. Whoever their next QB is will be hard pressed to play better football than Warner. Bringing in a guy like McNabb can give the Bills some good to excellent QB play while they try to find or develop someone good enough to take the job from him. That could take a long time.
Doug Flutie was supposed to be our "bridge" to the future too...LOL! (Rob Johnson, JP LOSTMAN, Trent Edwards)
-
Im ok with bringing in a vet, but not at the cost of what mcnabb would fetch, or vick. No trading more than a 5th or lower for a vet QB
McScabb will probably end up with the Carolina panthers, or possibly Minnesota ...if Favre makes his mind up soon enough (as if)
-
I guess that must mean the team is somewhat impressed with Stupar!
Nice!
Stupar can be a good TE in this league. The guy knows how to get open and can CATCH the ball. The dumb moron coaches last year rarely used TE's in the passing game.

Norwoods missed kick in SB 25, albeit a monumental one, clouds the memory of some of you, or, maybe you are not old enough to realize, Scott Norwood was an outstanding kicker for the Bills... Rian Lindell, on the other hand, is vastly overrated.
Lindell has been consistent, because he has rarely been asked to kick in pressure situations...and when he has, he hasn't been real impressive. Norwood, pre Super Bowl 25, and Christie were both better than Lindell... Rian was positively bad when he first came to Buffalo, but, because of his bloated contract, and the fact that the team pretty much sucked anyways, he was given far more time to work his way to a respectable level in Buffalo... other than SB 25, I can think of very few clutch kicks, regular season that Norwood missed... he had a rough season in 1991, no doubt the effect of the miss. Lindell has a number of chokes on his Buffalo resume... and worse, wasn't even asked to make attempts, because his coaches knew he couldn't perform.
Norwide was 133/184, which is a sickly 72.2% for his career. He was 2/10 from 50 yards plus for his career. Lindell has hit nearly 81% of his kicks and is 16/28 from 50+.
Remember we had to keep two kickers on the roster because Norwides leg was so weak he couldn't kick off? GIve me a break man. Who is the better kicker? LOL!
Norwide played for 7 seasons. Lindell is at 10.
-
Kind of agree, I still contend that Schobel is a second team player on a Super Bowl caliber team. As far as Stroud, Ted Washingtton or Smerlas would get the nod over him. The Lee Avans story here in Buffalo is sad. He plays with Kelly and he is a HOF. He is a class act too. I still like Fred Jackson, a character player who would have fit right in with the 90s teams.
Lindell over Norwide..but I'd say about equal to Christie. Moorman possibly.
Kyle Williams...thats about it.
I wouldn't put Evans in front of any starting WR buffalo had in early 1990's.
Shobel is too hot and cold...he is great two or three games a year, then disappears for long periods of time for whatever reason. There is no consistency with him. I wouldn't put him ahead of Phil Hansen...no way.

Just listening to Rome on 550, he stated in an interview that Terrell Owens stated that he would have already surpassed Jerry Rice's numbers in the NFL record books if he'd played with good quarterbacks like Brady, Manning or Brees, "without question".
UH-OH!
Nothing like saying you've never played with a good quarterback in you're career, huh? I can see this past year with, well, whatever you wanna call our quarterback "situation" here. But I guess guys like Romo and McNabb, who by the way, took Owens to his only Superbowl appearance, are garbage. Oh, and there was that two year stint with some guy named Steve Young, whoever that is...
To him it is probably the QB's fault when a pass hits him in the hands and he DROPS it. If he caught 75% of the dropped passes he had throughout his career, he probably would have surpassed Jerry Rice's numbers five years ago. LOL!
-
Haven't we seen enough of T.E.? He was only a 3rd round pick.
LOL give me a break. Cut him he was a 3rd round pick!....You better call New England and tell them to terminate Tom Brady immediately, as he was a SIXTH round pick.

Here is what Peter King wrote this morning regarding the labor talks (we better enjoy next season):
If the past few days, I've spoken to sources on both sides of the labor talks, and I've come to the conclusion that it'll be an upset if there isn't a work stoppage that either delays or cancels the 2011 season. Many of us in the media have speculated about the chances for a lockout and predicted one is coming, but the total lack of progress over the nut issue in 11 bargaining sessions tells me unless there's a sea-change by one side or the other, you'd better savor the 2010 season because it could be the last football we see for a while.
At the core of the problem is ownership's demand for players to bear an equal part of the cost for stadium construction, debt service and upkeep -- and the players saying it's not their problem. In NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith's recent e-mail to player representatives, he startled player leaders by saying ownership wanted to cut player compensation by 18 percent per year in the new CBA.
I thought the 18 percent number might be an exaggeration, a scare tactic to get players' attention. It's not. The owners, one management source said, have asked that the players' pool of revenue against which the salary cap is calculated be reduced by 18 percent.
The players' response, a union source told me, is that they're not prepared to take a penny, or a percentage point, less. While Smith, in his letter to players, didn't dismiss the possibility of negotiating on the issue, he wrote that there has been no compelling information presented to players to justify such a major reduction in what players make.
You wonder what 18 percent means. So did I. The management source said the owners want $1 billion a year credited to ownership and not subject to being part of the pie that the players divide. "There's obviously been an enormous shift from public financing of stadiums to private funding,'' the management source said. "Those costs are not recognized in the current CBA, and we feel that has to change.''
The league has beat this drum for several years. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some give-and-take in the owners' demands, because this is collective bargaining, but I would be surprised if the owners drop this as a demand altogether. They're just too dug-in on it.
But from the players' perspective, it's got to be a tough sell to union leaders. Imagine Smith going into a union meeting at a team and telling the players that the average compensation to the men in this room is about $1.8 million this year in salary and bonus payments, and explaining to them in a time of bountiful success for the NFL, each of the players is going to have to take, on average, a $324,000 pay cut. The players will never go for that, absent the owners being able to prove they're losing money in a time of unparalleled wealth in the league.
At some point, serious talks will start, with each side compromising. But I can't see the two sides bridging this chasm anytime soon.
If the 2011 lockout happens that would be it for me. I wouldn't watch another game.

I hate you Bill Cowher. You have wasted weeks of our lives only to hear you want to coach the Midgets. I know we will end up with another hack who will be here until the move to Toronto but I really wanted a legit coach. So I now wish bad things upon your chin. And I cant even change my display name to something like Formerly BF or something clever. Oh I loathe you Cowher.
Umm...Ok...
-
This doesn't sound like something Marshawn would do.
It doesn't? Guns in the trunk, drugs, hits a pedestrian and runs...the guy is a bum. I'll give him $20 to get the hell out of town.

I think his coaching W-L record is nothing to write home about.
1999 8-8
2000 12-4
2001 10-6
2002 7-9
2003 10-6
2004 9-7
2005 6-10
2006 13-3
2007 5-11
Over all: 80-64 .556
Yes...his coaching record is better than Dick Jauron's - but who's isn't?
I would rather take my chances on a guy that has not coached - and roll my dice that we have the next best "new guy!
We already tried the "guy who hasn't coached"...Greg Williams, Mike Mularkey.......who wants another decade of failure. Its time to bring in a coach with a winning record.

I cant believe i never heard of this till just now
http://www.nytimes.com/1998/02/11/sports/p...r-contract.html
whats interesting is that if he had played out the contract he would have easily started over Dilfer and got his revenge on the Giants in SB XXXV
Ted Marchibroda was the head coach in Baltimore at that time....he wanted Kelly. Kelly thought about it briefly then said he couldn't see himself as anything but a Buffalo Bill......Of course he ended up staying retired.

If we bring in a free agent to help develop Brohm there are a few QB's in their 30's who might work. Jon Kitna 37 (Dallas) is a possiblity I just don't like him much. The two that I find intriging are Charlie Batch who as back up in Pittsburgh may be willing to jump ship to start somewhere and Joey Harrington who has been behing Drew Brees in New Orleans for a year now and probably has learned a ton. Harrington is only 31 so he could stick around for a while but who knows. Also intriging is David Carr the back up in NYG right now. Thoughts anyone?
Jeff George is available....He should be well rested after taking the past decade off.
Stick a fork in all of them.

Just filed a quick story on Schobel, who had interesting comments to make post practice to two reporters, including the AP.
Should be on the world wide web shortly if anyone wants to look for it.

ADD: Updated topic title. There will be more to story later today.
See ya.............
The Bills Need a QB
in The Stadium Wall Archives

I think this is going to be the case. They should spend this draft fixing the O-line and D-line. They also need LB's and WR's.
Starting QB for week 1 is most likely already on the roster...... I have a feeling it will be TE, unless Brhom or Fitz have a better pre-season. (sigh).
