  1. I still find it hard to believe that there is a possibility Mike Williams cap hit this season could be $9+ million. How could the Bills organization ever construct a contract that even enabled the possibility for a RT to make $9 million for one season? Exactly that's why I'm not buying it. The elite left tackles in the game ala Walter Jones don't even have cap figures this large. If this is true, the Bills need to look at what type of escalators there putting into the contracts because $9 million is way too much for a guy who still hasnt proved he can play LT or even dominate at the RT position thus far. For $9 million we could get a decent tackle and a stud guard (Shelton, and Rivera, DeMulling, or Mayberry). I know that would never happen, but I'm just saying that to show how that big of a contract will prevent us from going out and getting key FA's.

    Also if this increase is due to escalators, what were the escalators has he achieved? He hasn't played a down at LT, nor has he made the Pro Bowl. I can't imagine that an escalator would simply be games started. Basically I really hope all of this is false because if we do owe him that type of money it's absolutely ludicrous and will it will prevent us from upgrading in other areas. Big Mike better take a big pay cut if it is true, but like I said I won't believe this cap hit until its actually put out or mentioned by the Bills.

  2. I've seen a lot fo their games this year. Coming inot this eyar I had high hopes for the team, unfortunately I think they've regressed some from last year. There defense isn't as tough and they don't go inside enough on offense. Last yera they came together in the latter half of the season so I'm hoping the same is true this season.

  3. JP Losman will be no letdown compared with Bledsoe. If Bledsoe is unwilling to take the backup job he's better off not being here, he'll just be a distraction. If he were willing to take the backup and mentor JP I'd be all for it, but I dont think he's that type of guy.

    JP's lack of experience will show I'm sure, but I'm ready to see what this guy is all about, I think he's got the qualitites to be a bona fide starter in this league.

     

    THE FUTURE #83 #21 #7

  4. Surtain is overrated. Miami is letting him walk mostly because of his high cap number next year (8.3 million), but if he was that good don't you think they'd try and keep him aorund. I remember Lee Evans burning him bad a few times at the home game. Madison impressed me a lot more than surtain did.

  5. Jerome Mathis from Hampton is nasty. I think he impressed everyone in that bowl game a couple weeks back. His stock may have improved to early 3rd high 2nd. I'd love to see the Bills grab that guy. Amazing speed, acceleration and elusiveness, he would make an immediate impact on special teams, but his hands need improvement according to the scouts.

  6. Is there a way we could place the transition tag on him instead of the franchise tag. That way we (or the team we trade him to) would only have to pay him the average top ten money rather than top 5 money. The only thing is I'm not sure you can use the transition tag that often, and because we used it 2 years ago with Peerless that option may be unavailable to us. Does anyone know, and if so how much would he be owed under the transition tag (average of the top ten LT salaries in the league I believe)?

     

    If this is an option I say go for it. there definitely would be a team to bite.

  7. Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate it. I think the fact that we get in on both of those three way team tiebreakers is hige for us. I'm starting to get the feeling that if we take care of business and win out were gonna do it. I definitely think a three way tie breaker involving us the jets and another team is highly likely.

  8. If someone can answer this please do so....I think soemone attempted to ask it but I never saw an answer...I actually have two questions....

     

    1) What happens if the Bills, Jets and Broncos all finish the season 10-6 (assuming Baltimore and Jax finish 9-7 or worse and one of the Jets losses is to the Pats)? I know two of the three teams will advance, but who (didn't see anything about three-way ties)?

     

    2) Same as question #1 but instead the Bills, Jets and Ravens tie at 10-6 (with the Jags and Broncos finishing 9-7 or worse and one of the Jets losses coming to the Pats.)

     

     

    If anyone can answer I'd really appreciate because if we do win otu I see one of these two scenarios being the likely case hopefully we have the edge in at leats one of these three way tie breakers. Thanks knowledgable fans!!!!

  9. That was nice call he sent in on the fake field goal. they could have kicked a 42 yard field goal and made it a one possesion game, but he wanted to watch one of his pathetic trickery plays backfire. After watching this game I cam honestly say he is pretty bad.

  10. The UB BULLS will need a miracle to pull this upset off, but they could very well keep it respectable. The line is 15.5, which isn't too bad considering they're playing at UCONN, the defending NCAA Champs. I think the guards will hold their own, but the big guys are gonna have their hands filled with Villanueva and Boone. If they cover the spread though or even keep it within 10 points I'd be very impressed. Great test to get ready for divisional play nontheless. By the way one bad thing I heard is that UB's star player, Turner Battle (PG) has been suffering from a bad back for a month or two now. Apparently they've been trying a lot to get him healthy, but the backs still a problem. They certainly need him this season so I really hope he gets healthy.

     

    GO BULLS!!!
