    So because the Oakland Raiders offense was a horrid offense that means the fans are not to be believed? Your own law of syllogism is mind boggling.

    Um, no. Raiders fans are idiots. And the Raiders had the worst offense of all time, led by 2 coaches who hadn't coached in over 5 years. Believe it or not, but schemes count for something.

     

    As for trusting in the Bills, it's either believe them or believe people like you. The Bills had the ability to keep Clements, LFB, McGahee, AND Spikes, but chose not to do so.

    I keep seeing this argument but it's really not relevant. The Bills should have locked Clements up last year when it would have cost less. At the very least they should have never promised that they wouldn't franchise him again. Sure, once he hit FA there was no way they should have signed him but they shouldn't have let it get that far.

    The only mistake was agreeing to not franchise him again. But I don't believe that Nate would have signed last year for much less tahn he's receiving now.

    Why are so many high on Thomas? He averaged 3.5 yards per carry last year and had less then 400 yards last year. I think asking AT to reporduce that or surpass it to maybe 600 yards and to expect a rookie to surpass 750 yards might be realistic but still on the high end especially if take a RB outside of round 1 like most seem to favor.

    McGahee's average against teams not named the Jets was 3.3. Again to counter your "a rookie would need to get more than 70 YPG" argument, I said it would be a RB-by-committee. And again, the O-line has been upgraded.

    I can understand not why we didn't give Nate the cash but still feel we were foolish giving Langston Walker the deal we did, I mean that money might have been better suited for a veteran CB to replace Nate if needed or maybe split the money between two players. As if had a choice probably take RT like Kenyatta Walker, whose still unsigned and a CB like Roderick Hood who got $15 million over 5 years from the Cardinals. Just my two cents.

    The Bills had their chance at Rod Hood and either didn't want him or he didn't want them.

    Re: Willis, actually according to Yahoo! Willlis averaged 70.7 yards er game last year and FYI no rookie RBs were able to do that last year. Joseph Addai who lead all rookies was at 67.6.

    That's not how one should look at it. It's A-Train PLUS a rookie RB.

    Re: If Ellison was better then Spikes last year why did Takeo to his starting job back when he returned from injury?
    Because Ellison was a rookie and Spikes the highly-paid veteran who they wanted to evaluate for the future.
    Re CB: Yobouty hardly saw the field last year even as a depth CB (see nickel and/or dime) to expect him to start this year is really questionable.

    I'm not entirely comfortable with Youboty starting. But I also wasn't comfortable making Clements the highest-paid CB in NFL history and then seeing him produce seasons like 2005 and the first half of last year.

    Without a doubt, in the end, we will probably be better off by letting McGahee. Yet if you re-read my post it is mainly about, not expecting this season to be an overly optimistic season. You can not expect a rookie RB to jump in the shoes of McGahee, and on and on with the other positions we need filled.

    Actually, RB is one of the few positions where players can make an impact as a rookie. Again, it's not like McGahee put-up all-world numbers here. Hell, they weren't even average numbers.

    Dockery was a good signing. Walker is known to Raider fans as the human "turnstile" and Whittle? Come on man. Whittle?

    Whittle is a good utility man. As for what Raiders fans "think," if one can use such a term with them, I'd just assume believe the opposite. Their offense was possibly the worst offense in NFL history.

    Yeah these witty posts are wonderful in theory, but lets be real. Yes, Willis McGahee probably didn't try his best and yes he probably could have been a better RB. Behind the horrid offensive line that the Buffalo Bills have, McGahee rushed for nearly a 1,000 yards in 14 games. Not great, but not bad. Its somewhat ridiculous how Buffalo fans tend to hate on players who are no longer on the team. Its sickening. If you expect our rookie draftee RB to rush for over 1,000 yards with our offensive line, then I hope you pass along the line whatever optimistic drug you are smoking. I would love to have a hit.

    Apparently you need a hit of some sort.

     

    Apparently you didn't realize that the Bills signed FA O-linemen like Dockery, Walker, and Whittle. That alone should help boost the running game no matter WHO is back there. But having a guy who actually LEARNS the playbook and hits the correct hole will be an upgrade.

    I will. I'll be getting it Wednesday (I hope the footpedal, which is coming from Musician's Friend and not Amazon like the amp, comes soon after). And I'm going to install an EMG-89 that I was saving for the 3rd/last guitar I was going to build into my current/2nd guitar. That should make it scream!

    Hmmmm:

     

    Eagles | Team showing interest in Spikes

    Sun, 25 Mar 2007 10:17:42 -0700

     

    John Murphy, of Yahoo! Sports, reports the Philadelphia Eagles are showing interest in possibly obtaining Buffalo Bills LB Takeo Spikes, according to a league source. Spikes would need to pass a physical and negotiate a new deal. The source believes the Bills could receive a mid-to-late round choice in the 2007 NFL Draft if both conditions are met. The Eagles would likely move Spikes to the outside if they acquire him. The team could also move him inside and make LB Jeremiah Trotter more of a two-down linebacker.
