\ Yes. Twice.

Really, where DID this come from?? I have been searching on google and NFL.com for the article and zip, nada, nothing.

Here you go cable... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...5168507827&rd=1

I have two... Jim Kelly (home) w/ HOF patch Steve Tasker (home) I'm waiting for the throwbacks to come out this year and I'm going to buy a McGahee throwback. I refuse to purchase the new unis.

There is a point in all of that though... We are truly either getting the next JK or the next RJ. There will be no in-between. Kid has talent and ego, like JK did. Does he have JK's heart? If the answer is yes (and by God I hope it is), we'll be in for a helluva ride. I shudder to think of what will happen if he does not have it.

Gentlemen, there is no reason we should even be considering a divorce here. Let take an objective look at the situation. Pat - I love ya. You are a great Buffalo Bill and have been during some real lean years. We're about to make a run. You know it and so do we all. A super bowl ring is priceless (despite what Lawyer said), and so would induction into the Bills Wall of Fame following retirement. Your kids will always know Pat Williams was a great and loyal Buffalo Bill when they come to the stadium. There are many terrific reasons to stay in Buffalo. Staying in Buffalo would allow you to avoid the double teams that plagued you early in your career because of Sam Adams, your friend, and thereby extend your career. You and Sam are the most dominant run-stuffing duo in the league. Your wife is from Buffalo, your charity work is priceless and your businesses are here. If you get it done, we'll all promise to drive out of our way to patronize your car washes. Take a little less and stay a Bill, $3.5-4 makes a deal. TD - Gutsy call on Losman. I know the OL needs to be fixed and we need a TE, but if we're going with the rook QB, we're gonna have to lean on D and ST. They can't slip one iota. You know this. Another non-playoff year (esp if DB leads Dallas to the postseason in the weaker NFC) and people will be calling for your head. Don't let PW get away. Lets meet in the middle on contract terms. Yeah, so you're probably gonna pay a little more than you want to, but don't tell me Ron Edwards and Tim Anderson are gonna stuff the run like PW. Your division includes Corey Dillon, Curtis Martin and probably the best rook RB in Miami. Stuffing the run is paramount. So cough up just a bit more and offer Pat $3.5-4 to stay in Buffalo. It doesn't have to be a long contract (he is 32) but 3-4 years should get the job done. Please guys lets let logic prevail here and git er done!! Go Bills!!

Go to your State Attorney General office and report it. Not sure what state you are in but NYS has an internet fraud unit, that would love to investigate something like this.

Villarial, lets glorify the OL. Noone else does.

We must address PW & LG first, if the Henry for Shelton deal is done.

Soccer??? Geesh, thats where the kids who got cut from the football team went to try and earn a varsity letter. Good enough for them, but it won't ever overtake sports like the NFL or MLB in America.

Thanx. So we'd save 2.4 mil.

I hope you are correct John, I'd rather see him here. But not at those numbers, numbers that will hinder the Bills from improving.

A couple of things clumpy.... 1- Who cares where he was picked. He's not playing like Ogden, Pace or Jones to justify it. 2- If NE showed us ANYTHING, its that one plkayer doesn't matter. Depth and across the board talent does. You can have one superstar paid big bucks and it hurts your team. It really hurts your team when he's not playing like a 9 mill tackle. Give me 5 guys making above average salary and I'll beat you. 3- Just a question, what are the ramifications if we release him. How much would he count against our cap this year?

Now thats MUST SEE TV!!

No we have him by the balls. Deal Henry for Shelton and bye-bye overpaid Mike Williams. Use the cash to resign Phat Pat, Jonas and a LG. Then you have an OL like this... LT - Jonas LG - Wahle C - Teague/Tucker RG - Villarial RT - Shelton Will Shelton be any worse than Williams? Shelton also makes a helluva lot less. Bottom line MW either severely restructures or he is gone.

Why was his salary escalated? If he doesn't renegotiate that down to reasonable levels, I would not be upset if TD released him. Truly, I would not be.

Good for them. The rest of the world is not the United States. Here football is football and soccer is, well, dumb. Next? Or golf, curling or bass fishing. Come to think of it, poker is more of a draw than soccer.

Yeah we really need more cap space. We have 3 must do moves this offseason with Pat, Jonas and LG. A backup RB and a TE can both come in the draft with our #2 and the #2 we get for henry. Shane is fine as backup QB.

Why did MW get such an escalator???? He didn't make the pro bowl. How can these guys get such big salaries, I thought the whole idea was low base, big bonus?

Two things... 1- Shane ain't that bad and I'd love to have him as the #2. He can manage a game and is a solid vet. 2- He don't cost much. That tells me TD is looking to spend some big cap $$$, hopefully on PW, JJ and LG.

That really depends. lets see how the schedule shakes out. Maybe the league will schedule NE to come to Buffalo, following a Mon niter vs. Indy or something else to our benefit.

Hey Big Easy, thanks for the 411 and welcome to the board. I keep hearing about JP's deep ball and his downfield throwing ability, but what about his accuracy on the short-medium routes? As ya know, we just released a guy who had a great downfield arm, but couldn't hit the side of a barn from within 15 feet. That caused a lot of problems when he was trying to beat the blitz. Just wondering how JP stacked up. Thanx.

What a freakin joke. If you sort the rankings by "OWN" Buffalo ranks 15th. ESPN defines OWN as "OWN (Ownership): Honesty; loyalty to players and city" Guess who's ranked 9th in OWN...yep, Art Modell and the Ravens. There goes ESPN's credibility.

As a Yankee fan, I think Arod is such an ass. I wish we still had Scott Brosius.

I do agree with your post. I just wish I knew what was wrong with the D and how to fix it!!
