Could you imagine the impact if the Bills pulled this off? Now this would sell some seats and give TE some weapons.
Evans
Owens
Gonzalez
WOW!

Yeah! It could be as good as the weapons TR had in Dallas with
Williams
Owens
Witten
oh .... wait a minute .....
It did sell seats in Dallas, though, so Ralph would be happy.
Git 'er done!

What do you think of the article?

T.O. Will Find Another Sucker to Pay Him
I hate to admit that this guy is probably right, and I even feel a little dirty after reading it ....

See the previous 100 threads on this.
And let's also try to avoid old, slow guys. We have enough young slow guys to deal with.
Yeah, does the name Eddie Robinson ring a bell with anyone?

I just can't see the Bills FO being that high on Haynesworth, in light of all his "legal" troubles (both on and off the field). The guy still has the maturity of a 12-year old ... and that's probably paying a disservice to 12-year olds! Giving a guy like that the kind of guaranteed money he will demand (and most likely get from some team out there) is a risk the Bills just aren't likely to take. I'd not be surprised to see "Fat Albert" wind up on a team like the Cowboys or the Raiders - they LOVE to prove they can "rehabilitate" these guys.
GO BILLS!

If we were to sign just one guy, it would be him. Next to Stroud, my god, I'm getting giddy at just the thought of it. No one could run on us and both our DEs, no matter who they are, would register 10+ sack seasons.
You build through the draft and spend wisely on free agents. You build championship teams from the lineman out.
I would give Haynesworth 6 years, $75 million with $30 million guaranteed. Worth every penny.
It's not just the money he's demanding that will keep the Bills from being interested - it's the "character issue":
Titans All Pro defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth is being blamed for causing an accident that left a Tennessee man needing hip replacement and has a district attorney reviewing the Dec. 13 incident for a possible probation violation.Add that to his previous "on field" troubles (5 game suspension for kicking an opponent's helmet off and then stomping on his head), and I think the Bills would be wise to steer clear of this idiot. He's got the physical skills to be one of the best DL's in the league (and probably is), but the risk of him continuing to get into trouble, both on and off the field, is too great to pay him the amount of guaranteed money it would take to sign him.
GO BILLS!

I almost think that that was Polian's way of rubbing it in that he left.........you see what you missed. If I was EJ I wouldn't be able to wear it or display it with any kind of pride. I think it is an odd gesture.
.... except it wasn't "Edge who left" ... the Colts just released him without making any sort of offer - he was just too expensive at that point, and at his age, and just coming off a knee injury, he was deemed expendable. They already had Dominic Rhodes, and drafted Joseph Addai that spring .... and the rest is history. ;-)
I think giving Edge a ring was a sincere gesture of thanks for past performance.
GO BILLS!

I noticed a lot of bald QB's
I think it's from the radio waves in the helmets they wear ....
-
personally I think Reese is an idiot - but only from watching him on ESPN. I'm sure he'll do fine in NE for a few seasons seeing as he only needs to hang on to the talent they already have. He'll probably retire before NE has to worry about replacing Brady, Moss, Welker, Seymour, or Wilfork.
He's the genius who decided drafting Pac Man Jones was a good idea ....
-
Remember what happened the last time Ralph hired a former (and highly regarded) GM who was working at ESPN at the time?
I think it's a question of checks and balances. You need 2 or 3 people in the FO making joint decisions (like the GM, HC, and head of scouting) to make sure no one person goes out and does something completely crazy (like drafting McGahee with a #1)! When Donahoe was here, there wasn't anyone like that (at least, no one strong enough to stand up and say, "Hey, that's crazy, and here's why ..."). Of course, with someone like Donahoe, who couldn't get along with Cowher, maybe that never would have been possible ... he wants total control, and so far, there's not been another team willing to give that to him. But I'm pretty sure Belicheat can hold his own with Reese .... don't have that some amount of confidence that Jauron could have.
GO BILLS!

Caldwell has already made one decision.
Former Buffalo Bills quarterback Frank Reich, who spent last season as an offensive team assistant, will be elevated to quarterbacks coach.
-
Yeah dudes, I'd pay about anything to replace simpson with dawkins. Can we replace ellison with Ray Lewis too? And my imaginary girlfriend with tom bradys?
Why would you want Tom Brady's imaginary girlfriends?

I'm ok if he's the next Keith Jackson.
Whoa Nellie! ?!?!?
-
I doubt it. Wilson doesn't make that "statement" without exacting Jaron's assent to the firing of the entire offensive staff. Jauron gave up Turk et al to keep his job. Not sure how I feel about that.
Apparently he didn't have to "give up" ANY of his coaches, at least according to ESPN:
Though citing the dissatisfaction of the team's fans over a third consecutive 7-9 season, Wilson elected to retain Jauron and the entire coaching staff, believing the team is "better served by continuity in the coaching staff rather than a disruptive overhaul."
-
I wonder if we'd be feeling worse, as Bills fans, if the team had gone 11-5 and still missed the playoffs (like the Patsies*) ... at least we know our team didn't deserve to be in the playoffs, and while I hate to say it, NE probably did ... but I'm still glad they didn't make it!
-
Huh?
He turned down talking to Cleveland. Buffalo is a lot more like Cleveland than it is NYC.
But, I agree the Bills should at least try to talk to him.
Cowher won't talk to Cleveland because when he left Pittsburgh, he told them that if he ever did come back to coach another team, it wouldn't be for a team in the same division as the Steelers.
GO BILLS!

I'd be interested to see how this compares with some of the more successful teams this year, e.g. Miami, NE, Titans, Steelers. Hard to imagine that the "average age" on offense varies dramatically from team to team - this is a "young man's game", because of the physical nature of it.
-
Personally, I like the Turk a lot more than most on this board. There have been times in many games this year where the playcalling has been BEAUTIFUL (flowing and consistent) and obviously, times when the playcalling has been horrendous. He is a first year offensive coordinator - my question is: should he stay or should he go? If you vote for him to leave, which coach would you hire in his place? The Turk has definitely been too pass happy at times this year, but overall his playcalling is superior to Steve "run, run, pass, punt" Fairchild. I would prefer to hold onto Schonert, while hiring a new head coach - but that's just my opinion...
Would imagine that any new coach coming in would want to be able to bring in his own coaching staff, so if DJ goes, Turk probably goes as well. The only exception I can imagine is if DJ were to be replaced by Bobby April, who might decide to keep most of the existing staff.
I agree that Turk showed "flashes of brilliance", as did many of the players on the offensive side of the ball ... but the bottom line is, if the players execute the play that is called, whatever it is, the OC is going to look good, and if they don't, he's going to look bad. The only fault I had with Turk is that at times, he seemed more intent on trying to exploit a perceived weakness in the opposing defense, rather than just calling plays according to the Bills' strength(s) (e.g. calling pass plays near the goal line when the run had gotten them down there in the first place, esp. Lunch). But I think he can learn from this year!

Former Bills QB James Harris, one of the first black QBs in the league, was forced to resign from his post as player personnel chief of the Jacksonville Jaguars in light of their disappointing season.
Linky: James Harris is Jags' "fall guy"
Maybe the Bills can use his services again? Jacksonville looked great for a number of years after he a Del Rio first got there. I blame this year's "melt down" more on Del Rio losing the locker room than on lack of talent on that roster. He couldn't do any worse than the crew we have ... could he?
-
well we know he didn't get in based on the fan votes...
I don't know - the Jets fans probably love him ..... along with those of the teams in Miami, Cleveland, San Francisco .....

Pat Williams fractures shoulder - out 2-6 weeks
Tough break for the Vikes ... just when it looked like they had dodged the NFL suspension issue.
Feel badly for big Pat ...
GO BILLS!

Whew! That was a close one. Thanks for the good news!
... and the bad news is, he actually signed it a month or two ago ....

Which NFL team could you see yourself becoming a fan of, and why?
San Diego Chargers - they consistently seem to have the hottest cheerleaders ...

Does Cutler have that Jimbo attitude we've been missing??

No ... if he was like JK, he wouldn't have sulked about all the trade talk, but just gone out and played so well this year they'd be forced to sign him to a huge multi-year contract extension.
