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!!

Way to go fuggggin Bettman. Assclown should never have been commish.

Exactly, we really don't know how bad Bledsoe played. Only the coaches truly know how many assignments, open receivers etc. were missed.

Did he mention Phat Pat??? Please?

I hear you Tom, and I've made all the same arguments to myself. But, we don't really know how bad Bledsoe played. He must have been really bad. By that I mean, wrong receiver, wrong plays, the open man was there etc. Point is, we don't know what play was called, what the specific options were and what the film showed. By now, the coaches have reviewed the whole season of film, been around Drew all year and know what he is capable of. Apparently, they don't think much of him and would rather turn to JP, probably not because of what JP can do, but what Bledsoe can't do. I know, not very reassuring. The point is that if they take the 14 million they have in cap room, resign Jonas and Pat, a LG and a TE, draft a backup RB and sign a vet backup, we should be allright. Its too early for predictions b/c the schedule hasn't come out (Buffalo weather games etc.), but I think the plan isto make the rest of the team Super Bowl worthy and let JP grow into the role. A big accomplishment for us this year would be a playoff season.

You're right, and thats completely ridiculous. I didn't say I was happy about it, but it IS realistic. There is no other way to evaluate a QB. Jim Kelly took almost 3 years to become big time. McNair & Pennington (over 2 years each). The very few immediate successes at QB can be counted on one hand. It took Favre almost 3 years before he was routinely making plays. Even Brady, for all his good play, took into year 3 before the coaches really trusted him and let him open things up. Granted, he won a SB in Year 1, but that was more because the coaches protected him and the superior talent surrounding him than anything else. It is a looong drawn out process and its not for the impatient. I don't like it any more than you, but thats reality unless we want to become one of the perenniel rebuilders in the NFL. We have to commit to JP and stick to him for a good 2.5-3 years.

Thats big of you.. I will reserve judgement on JP until Week 8 also....of the 2007 season.
