    One team in need of safety help interested in Smith is Buffalo. The Bills released veteran Lawyer Milloy, and he signed with Atlanta. That leaves Coy Wire and Matt Bowen battling to fill his job. They're not exactly the two swiftest players, so Smith, who runs better than both of those players, makes sense. Smith played well for the Saints last year, his first with the team. He can tackle, and as a former corner, he has quality cover skills. Getting him would be a good move for the Bills.

  2. I don't know who you mean by "we", but Buffalo has its politicians to thank and no one else. The corrupt political elite that has run the City and County for the last 20+ years have drained the wealth out of the area by raising taxes in order to make good on promises to unions that never should have been made, all the while driving out more and more businesses.

  3. For the record, aside from Wahle, last year's FA guard crop was horrible. The guy the Bills really wanted - DeMulling - was paid a lot more than Bennie by the Lions, and almost lost his starting job several times during the season.

  4. Whats so wrong with the signing?

    Lemme see...

     

    1) he's very unlikely to make the team;

     

    2) if he does make the team, it means we're in even worse shape than we thought;

     

    3) it means we're probably not making a play for Javon Walker;

     

    4) it means we're probably not drafting a WR on Day 1 to replace Moulds;

     

    5) it shows a lack of patience, because other, younger WRs who actually have, I dunno, UPSIDE, may still enter the free agent market (Charles Rogers),

     

    6) anyone who has seen PP play the last few years knows he no longer gets separation and has lost his deep speed (WRs near or over 30 almost never "rediscover" speed - Galloway may be an exception);

     

    7) it means that, of the 9 receivers on the Bills roster, and the 3-4 tight ends, the Bills still have NO ONE who will go over the middle to catch passes (I said "catch" Josh Reed).

     

    Other than that, nothing, nothing's wrong with it. FUG.

  5. You guys are all whiny and nuts. 10-20-30 years ago, and the first 50 years of the NFL, you got to watch 2-3 games total each week. The only football news you got about the Bills was a couple articles a day during the season from The Buffalo Evening News or Courier Express you had to buy. There was no cable and satellite and ESPN and ticker machines and Internet and message boards and Two Bills Drive and every game available and sports bars with 30 TVs and huge screens with great pictures and HDTV and The NFL Network.

     

    You're lucky bastards to have NFL news and games everywhere 24-7 365.25 and you just complain. DirectTV is friggin' awesome. ESPN, even though they are evil blowhards, is friggin' awesome. The Internet is friggin' awesome. The NFL Network is friggin' awesome. The coverage of the NFL and the availability of it and the cheapness of price for how much time you spend with it and how much it matters to you is friggin' awesome.

     

    The Bills aren't moving in the near and probably far off  future.

     

    Move to Iraq. We're the luckiest bastards in the history of the world.

    Post of the year.

     

    NEWSFLASH: THE BILLS ARE NOT A PUBLIC ENTITLEMENT, THEY ARE A PRIVATE CORPORATION. SO IS THE N.F.L. FANS ARE NOT SHAREHOLDERS NOR ARE THEY VOTERS.

     

    Like it or not, "Greed" has gotten this country where it is: the most powerful military and economy in the history of mankind. There are only two things we legitmately can complain about:

     

    first, public corruption, meaning politicians abusing the system to make themselves or their friends money. I don't see that happening in the case of the Bills - if anything, corruption will be part of the SOLUTION to keeping the Bills here (unfortunately).

     

    second, the League and its owners making poor ECONOMIC choices, meaning choosing something that's in the SHORT-TERM best interests of themselves or the League but that harms the LONG-TERM viability of the N.F.L. IMO here's where we may have a legitimate gripe: by adopting a CBA that threatens to wipe out small-market teams, the ownership may be increasing its short-term pie (LA, television revenues) while harming the League's long-term outlook by eroding the until-now-expanding fanbase. That's a gripe, but it's a gripe about the stupidity of the League's front office, NOT a gripe about capitalism - which by the way is HERE TO STAY, because it's the least-worst way of organizing a society. If you don't believe me, spend some time in France, where they've chosen Pensions over Progress by consistently making stupid choices in the name of "culture," "tradition," and "the good of the community."

  6. Good or not Good its inevitable.  This team is more than a year away IMHO and is building toward the future not the present.

    'Xactly. The Bills are not gonna make the playoffs this year, with or without Moulds. While I'm worried that it's bad for ticket sales for management to consistently jettison its star players, it's not going to make a difference as far as this season goes.

     

    Plus, I haven't seen Moulds break a tackle in 2 years.
