I'm SURE he meant because everyone knows the Bills would have the #1 seed throughout the playoffs all wrapped up by then .... GO BILLS!

Apologies if this has already been posted somewhere ... didn't see it on the front page, or in recent threads here. Nice article at fanhouse.com about Ralph Wilson and his role in past and present NFL labor negotiations. Ralph Wilson Faces Labor Battles Head On

... or as Charles Barkley would say, "He's turrrble"

Torrell Troup listed as inactive. Have I missed something? Has he been injured, or is he just not good enough to see the field?

one more quote from PK's article:

I live here in Indianapolis, and I think there is a good chance that the Colts may just do something about it. They are sort of like the Bills in that they like to talk about what good "character" all their players have. And they, and the media, especially like to contrast that with the city's other pro sports team, the NBA Indiana Pacers, who continually embarrass themselves by off-the-court behavior (not to mention on-the-court incompetence). They've cut several players in the past for off-field incidents (Dominic Rhodes for a DUI right after he played really well in their Super Bowl victory, and a starting defensive lineman whose name escapes me for pot possession). Anyway, Polian was interviewed on the radio this afternoon, and sounded pretty pissed off that he even had to deal with questions about something like this (especially during their bye week). At the very least they are likely to fine Macafee substantially ... and might even suspend him for "conduct detrimental". They'll probably wait to see what, if anything, Goodell does first. GO BILLS!

What FA OL players are likely to be available next year?

Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Kassim Osgood leapt out a second-floor window to escape a gun-wielding man who attacked him and a 19-year-old woman.. I just have one question .... what?????? :blink:

could be worse .... they could have extended Cornell Green

.... as long as that doesn't mean that he holds out/refuses to join the team for 3 years .....

Actually, the game has been moved up to 6:30pm .... something about to avoid a traffic jam due to a rap concert that's taking place just "down the street" from Ford Field tonight.

.. but just keep in mind that as the 3rd string back, he's been playing against the opposing defenses #3's, and that no doubt has helped to "inflate" his statistics somewhat, especially his YPC average. Still, he looks quick and powerful, and I hope the Bills do find a spot for him on the active roster. I agree that he probably wouldn't last too long on the PS. With both Jackson and Lynch nursing injuries, I'm guessing he'll make the roster. I don't expect he'll be active for many games once Lynch and Jackson are back, though, unless he can really play on ST as well. As fans, we get excited thinking the team may have found the next Terrell Davis, or Emmitt Smith ... but he could just as easily be this year's Xavier Omon.

Cool idea ... now you just have to talk the "powers that be" into letting your groomsmen where their jerseys at the ceremony instead of renting tuxes ..... Congratulations, and Good Luck!

... you forgot Garcia Campbell Russell McNabb

For one of the linebackers, I'm trying to remember the name of the guy that Gregg Williams brought with him from the Titans who was, to put it kindly, "past his prime", and got faked out of his jock by Chad Pennington who made it past him into the end zone. What was his name? Was it Eddie Robinson? GO BILLS!

Do the G-Men have any extra LT's just sitting around not doing anything? ;-) I'm still hoping the Bills will call up their buddy AJ Smith in San Diego and see if they can get a deal done to bring McNeill to Buffalo ....

... or did the Germans bomb Pearl Harbor?

I think those might look too much like the Patsies* throw-back unis .... Linky Thingy

6'7", 325 lbs Are you saying size matters?

But most accounts a decent player. Probably dropped this far because of "character issues" ... was suspended for the opening game in 2009 due to a DUI arrest that happened over the prior offseason (he was operating a moped while drinking ...).

Yeah, I can see where that could probably cut into his drinkin' time ....

In Goodell's letter to BR, he states "contributing to the delinquincy of a minor" was more than enough reason to come down so harshly on him: ... and then goes on to say BR gets 6-game suspension IMO, he definitely got off EASY! I hope the Bills stay far away from this jerk. At BEST, he is an idiot. At worst, he is a predator.

I agree with your point. I think "reaching" really refers to taking a player higher in the draft than he ought to go just because you have a real "need" at a particular position, and he's the best one left, so you let that skew your judgement as to how good he really is. And even that really only matters at the top of the draft because of the ridiculous amount of money you tie up for years in terms of salary cap. If/when the new CBA addresses that issue (rookie salary cap), I doubt we hear so much about "reaches" anymore, because the consequences won't be as long-lasting. GO BILLS!

... no shoes, no shirt, no service

He was also on special teams kickoff/punt coverage squads in SD ... maybe DeHaven wants some more bodies?
