He was okay, but if I remember right, his back was sketchy at best, and he had some DUI or something, that contributed to his cut... or maybe I'm mixing him and Alan Branch. I KNOW Branch had that problem, not certain on Dwan. Either way, we had Carrington behind him and I liked him as a player (NOT AT OLB), so I can't say we lost much by cutting him.

Going to a team with insanely talented 100 million dollar players around him surely didn't hurt, either. Not negating Hughes talent, just saying he certainly didn't have that help in Indy.

Yep, you can't knock baseball for it. It's the sport where a player's numbers are the most conducive to telling the story as to how well or poorly they are doing. 1-1, batter vs. pitcher. In other sports, other players are much more heavily relied upon to have success of your own.

I know EXACTLY what you're talking about, and it drives me FREQKING CRAZY... you can even pause it and then restart it, and the commercials start over fresh... Why can't they just play the local commercials, not this very short playlist of horrible repeated same commercials...I HAAAAAATE FLO, AND WILL NEVER BUY GEICO because of it.

I assume that they needed this extra roster spot for all the stacks and stacks and stacks of money Darius will be getting. Two roster spots for essentially one player, a bad idea you might think. You're wrong. The only question is what jersey number this stack of cash will wear.

I hate having to decide between Mario and Marcel, but I know it is indeed a very legit decision, as the team has a finite amount of money they can spend. I think Mario is signed for another 3 years. I would love to see him retire a Bill, as he really seems to have ingrained himself into western NY and is a hard worker, not just a showy guy. Say we owe him 50 million more for the next 3 years... what are the chances we extend him 3 more years beyond that, to spread that money out more, and maybe he retires after 5. There has to be a rule against that, but I don't like the idea of cutting Mario out, and in 2-3 years not having both him AND Kyle. Darius and Jerry are still very good, but they are GREAT because of the skill around them.

So (not to be negative but) we legitimately couod have a #1 defense, a #1 special teams group, a top 8 running game... and remain on the fringes of playoff consideration, everything STILL depending on QB play... geeeeez...

I was driving down the thruway, and saw a car ahead of me swerving and driving erraticly. When I pulled up to him, I noticed it was Corey Macintyre, and he had only one hand on the wheel...

And (allegedly) threatened to kill their families, for good measure.

This is great to hear, and I think much of the thanks should go to Tim Graham for bringing this story to public consciousness. Yes, he was "doing his job", but an article about Jim Kelly or Bills roster moves would have been an easier one to write than the prying that it took to get the Talley story written, and he deserves recognition.

But... Wasn't he?

The Patriots did it with Bledsoe. If you think the guy behind your "starter" is better, and you can get great value, you sell.

Kubiak and Tyrod overlapped in Baltimore for one year, interesting that he thouht so much of him...

I would say Arizona could be on that "list", too, as well as possibly St. Louis, but they are a franchise with the same LA whispers, so I couldn't really see that happening.

Uhm... that's impressive for a man ANY age, what are you thinking? I would give my middle one plus 7 inches of carrying sack for that body.

Something something cheap something something Quarterback, something! C'mon, make sure you get it all!

This is Cockrell's 2nd year, not 3rd.

I actually just had this conversation with my girlfriend last night, explaining the dislike for him. So yes, I still will not listen.

No, I think Johnny Football has already got that position locked up at an MVP level.

Check the calendar, cross reference with the Bills schedule, and you should arrive at a reasonably accurate conclusion.

This was a finalist to be my senior yearbook quote... I thINk you might have forgotten about another requisite for proper board etiquette here...

The Atlanta Braves lost to Atlanta? Nope, I think they beat Cleveland, if I remember right.

Yeah, I think you pretty much nailed it, and the thread should stop, now. Short yardage conversions have ALWAYS been a premium importance to football teams, as every team probably faces 5-10 extremely important scenarios per game, for about 100-150 times per season. Adding in an extra 10 per year as a 2-point conversion wouldn't make any difference as the teams ALREADY CARRY GUYS whose sole, or major, value they offer teams is conversion of short yardage situations. This won't trigger teams to carry an extra TE, interior lineman, FB, or scrambling QB than it already did before, because they already valued players of this type at a high level.

So Tyrod Taylor is #5 in a 4-horse QB race...

Ya know... Big, north-south, short yardage QB, and small, quick, water bug type skatQB who you need to get into open space... C'mon guys, learn X's and O's, duh :-)
