I'd franchise DB. If I get a good offer, I'd trade him. If not keep him for at least one more year and see if he can put two back to back years together. If so, then maybe trade Rivers as after two years his cap hit will start to go down. You're taking a big chance giving up on a guy who might really have finally figured things our in DB, to keep a guy who has proved nothing. Would definelty set San Diego back a couple years at best.

Nope sorry to disapoint. One of the guys. I believe it's Jim Seydel (sp)?? I guess he goes to a different stadium each week, unless there's a hurricane or something. Next week he's in Green Bay.

Hey, the Jets have to also play NE and I believe St Louis and Seattle?? I can see them losing three of four and the Bill's catching them.

The Weather Channel has been broadcasting this morning from the Ralph. They were talking about Beef on Weck among other local treats.

Yes Buffan (or is it Bufoon?) That is your point, but there are rules that are over your head and you don't understand thta prevent that! You can't put an inactive player in at running back if they all got hurt. But you probably could have your tight end play half back if you had too. But since QB is kind of specialized, it would be too difficult to do that. So they allow a 46th inactive player to come in and play, BUT only under certain curcumstances, and under certain specific rules.

No! there are very particular rules related to when and how you can use your 3rd QB Simon might be right, not certain. It would seem that there would have to be some type of penalty involved for skipping QB#2. But I could be wrong, and Simon may be correct, however there are still cetian rules to be followed. To totally reject my comment as being ridiculous is stupid in itself. Since you think it's ridiculous, I'd suggest you go to the NFL rule book and find and post the rule before rejecting posts when it's pretty obvious by your response, you're just talking as an un-educated fan. Not as someone who actually has any knowledge of the depth of the rulebook.

If the 3rd QB comes in prior to the start of the fourth quarter, then neither the 1st or 2nd QB are allowed to come back into the game. So if the Bill's were to bypass Shane M and bring in JP, if he were to get hurt or totally stink up the joint, then they can't go back to DB or Shane for the rest of the game.

If Clements does leave I'd think a rather obvious replacemrent would be Sam W. However does he want the job? For all we know at the end of the year, he might tell the Bill's that the past year was too much for him related to his health problems. Or may not want the additional stress of a coordinators job. But I think if were to take the postion, we'd keep going in same direction without losing any steam.

I'ts got to be the idiot that calls up WGR every week on his rank. There he has to tone it down a bit or risk being cut off if he started the racial comments.

Josh Wright looked pretty good. Some of the passes he made were pretty damm good for a freshman. They had their second team play most of second half and it was a pretty good squard out there. Watkins also looked real good. Lets eee if he can do on a consitant basis. And Froth.... well he played, you can see his name in the box score under fouls committed.

Don't disagree with much of your suggestions. If we lose Jennings, I'd consider moving Teague to tackle or see if Petter could play there and then try to sign a top notch center as they'd come cheaper than a tackle as a FA. Woul first thoug htry to keep Jenning IF he really wants to be here. Tight end. Yes, would be nice to improve, but can live with what we have. On offense, would rather see them try to improve line. Vincent has been hurt most of year. I'd give him another shot Don't know what he "hasn't done to help the Bills" as you allude too? Depth at linebacker would be nice, but not sure you can get better guys than we have as backups and be affordable. Agree Baker may be capable FS. Lindell can kick consistently from inside 40 yards. If we can get a proven kicker who can be just as good out to 50 yards and can put kick offs five yeards longer, sign him in a minute. But it's tough to find that guy. More ofte nthat not , you need to take a chance on un-proven guy and get lucky.

I agree Lindell has kicked well this year, except the coaches won't give him many oppourtunities at long ones. The weather, even when not windy is n't very good here. Cold air means a harder ball to kick. 70% from 40-49 to me means you can't call them a gimmie either. All in all, are there better kickers around the league? Yes, but how many better kickers are available?

That's true, but you wouldn't have Evens then too! We likely wouldn't have hada second rd pick to use at all.

Stong defense?? Well smith and Hanson have since retired. Washington seems about on his last leg. Sam Cowlert has never been the same since he was hurt. Winfield was one good defensive player that has left, but who else did he rip apart on the defensive side that went on to bigger and better things since leaving the Bills? the Bills were an old defense that was stuck toget using glue and paper clips. It worked, but seems I recall in Wade and JB's last year the defense wasn't doing too good anymore either.

The trade renewed alot of interest in the Bill's and sold alot of tickets. It also gave the Bills credability as an up and coming team and might have helped convince people like Spikes, Adams, and company to sign here as FA's So no way was it such a terrible trade as you makje it out to be. Most people around here embraced the trade too. It's easy now in hindsight to call it a bad trade, but at the time the clear majority of people thought it was a good deal.

Maybe T Henry, D Bledsoe, Josh Reed and a third or fourth rounder could get a number one back. Would I take that deal? Sure. The one thing in the favor of Dallas making a trade like this is Parsells seems to be in love with over the hill QB's. However as someone else pointed out, I also think he there's a good chance he's not coaching there next season either.

I will be surprised if Parsell's sees that pick. My guess is he'll quit again by year end. I wonder how many years this will set back his being elected to HOF? Considering how often he'd treat he media with distain, maybe never? I'd imagine alot of voters are just looking for a reaso nnot to vote for him. This might be enough!

Since he's the third string QB he can only play inthe 4th Q. If he plays prior to that, then niehter QB 1 or 2 can come back itno the game if J were to get hurt

I'd like to hear what the "Numerous communites" are? LA yes, but besides that don't see too many others. Times have also changed. These days there doesn't appear to be a bunch of cities lining up with sweetheart deals either. There are enough larger NFL cities struggling these days too that would likely make other cities take note about offering great deals to move a team. If Indy, or Minn, or New Orleans can't make a go of it, why should some other city spend millions to get a team to end up in ten years in the same boat as these other places. LA is the one exception as the population there is so much larger. But besides that, there aren't many other cities currently without teams and that have massive populations that can support a team.

I read posts last week from people happy that Howard Simon was going to WGR and talking about Empire in past tense. Did Empire officially pull the plug or are people just assuming with no hockey and no Simon that Empire soon will be gone? I noticed a crawler across the bottom of my TW cable screen this weekend stating that Empire will no longer be available on their sports package. Anyone know??

Williams is getting up there in age, so not so sure he will get many high salary offers. If we can sign him for reasonable amount great, but if not, We'll be OK with Edwards and Anderson. You can't afford pro bowlers at every postion anyway.

Yes, but the question is, would Drew make one of these teams lines look bad?? Is it all the line, or is it partially line and he just makes it much worse?? Don't know for sure, thats's why I see a good test in going to a team like Baltimore and see what happens then!

Actually the team that I thought would be an interesting fit would be the Ravens. Excellent defense, great running back, (when not in the slammer) and a very good offensive line. Not the best wide outs, but a good tight end. Would be interesting to see if all of a sudden their O-line is no good.

JP isn't ready to start yet. Yes he's back and practicing, but that's still a long ways from playing. I predict Nov 21 he'd be ready by. Maybe the 14th, but I doubt they'd want to give him first playing time at NE

In that scenerio, probably not at all. If they were to win like he'd proposing, they'd likely keep going with Drew. That could be the down side of winning, JP wouldn't play.
