Is and will Tom Donahoe make any moves this off season to improve our 9-7 team from last year? Mike Gandy, Kelly Holcomb and resigning Ryan Nufield is not going to make this team better. I'm not sure what Donahoe is waiting for. Are the Bills in so tight of cap trouble that they can't sign a free agent guard? I just can't see us making this team a 12-4 team through the draft alone. I hope TD has something up his sleeve but I'm not so sure he does.
Wait and see what happens I guess.
In addition to the valid points already made - that Losman over Bledsoe is a huge improvement and JMac should have even more success in his second year after a successful first season - I don't think there is a guard in the history of the NFL that is worth three wins to a team. So if you want to get to 12-4, one free agent guard, any free agent guard won't get you there. It might get you one win, tops. And IMHO, McGahee healthy for a whole season and even better, as he says he will be, plus Losman's mobility, should be enough to win those at least three of the 4 close losses (3 early games we lost by 8 points and the season finale), and there's your 12-4.

Does that mean that Anderson played on the same line as Lawrence Smith?

Never heard of rotoworld. Do they have a good track record?

Anyone else in Beijing?

Hey guys
Am I the only one who thinks the reason Holcomb jumped at the low ball offer is because TD mentioned the words "Starting Job" to him? Anyone? Yeah, its only 6 million, but what are the incentives if he starts? Anyone?

Yeah, I know this is ridculously early to bring this up, but if Donahoe really is going to sit on his hands and not make any moves during free agency, what kind of compensation could we get in the 2006 draft? A third rounder? Do you think Donahoe has been considering this, too?

My opinion is that we need one of two things:
1. Resign Pat Williams
2. Get a better #2 Corner than McGee, and let McGee back into the nickel slot.
If it's possible, I vote for number 2. I think Ron Edwards will do fine in place of Pat, but as you said he is more of a pass rusher. If Pat walks, they need to be able to have a safety cheat up and LB's stay in their lanes to help with the run. A good number 2 CB will be able to man up, allowing the rest of the team to focus on other things.
Our pass defense was ranked 2nd in the conference, our run defense sixth. I would've thought that was reversed. So, it's harder to argue that pass D should be the top priority. But, if we stick with Edwards and go after a Ty Law, Antoine Winfield-type CB who can play the run as well as the pass, we would be better off with option 2. In turn, stronger pass rush from Edwards helps the pass D. It could be a win-win.

raided Catholic, I like that.
Sid Luckman was Jewish. Benny Friedman, who just elected into the Hall of Fame, was Jewish. Hebrews, lets be proud of our players.

Say the Bills put in Losman this year, he hits some bumps on the way, and they finish 9-7, one game out of the playoffs. I think that's likely. Then, by 2006, they'll be in the playoffs. So, that means it will have taken Donahoe only six years to make the playoffs. On average, a team should make it eveyr 2.6 years. Maybe that's why we're not all so anxious to praise him - just yet. But if he brings us a Superbowl, forget everything I just said.

rolly, help me out. Didn't Brady sit one year before leading his team to the SB, just like Losman? And shouldn't we give Manning another season before judging him a bust - or that playing him before he was ready might've helped his progress? The point is you can find examples any which way, but the majority of cases show that Losman should be ready to contribute this year.

First, I think that will change under JP. Second, if Bledsoe were to stay, I think that would be an argument against Moulds. Bledsoe too often locks on to his primary target because he's Bledsoe's favorite, causing him to make stupid throws into traffic and to miss an open receiver. Pulling his favorite security blanket out from under him will force him to look for the most open receiver.

Keep me posted.

We'll get something in return. Cutting Brown is not the same as losing him to FA, though.

yes. It doesn't take a super fan to figure out that .215 isn't great, and being a backup first baseman doesn't qualify him for the hall. Oh, and the fact that he is worried about how to pay for his kid's college makes me think he wasn't one of the top bread winners in the league.
But, of course, that doesn't have ANYTHING to do with this conversation.
The point is, if he's a AAA scrub, or Mickey Mantle, he should give the ball up. The Red Sox signed him, and like it or not, and no matter for how short a period of time, he was on that TEAM. Obviously, he doesn't care about that.
He's a douche.
Why does he aspire to send his kids to Florida State?

THe way I see it, we need one of four games to break our way: either the Jets vs. StL or SEA or the Broncs at Ten or KC. One of four - I'll take those odds.

Yeah, I dreamt of that, too, but Pittsburgh only has homefield locked up if NE loses again.

I can't think of another kicker drafted that high besides Janikowski, at least in the last decade. Plus, isn't there spposed to be enough guard depth to snatch one in the third rond?
