  1. I forget where I read this but there was something I read that made me believe that the cRavens are asking for Leodis McKelvin. I surmised it from what I read but it makes sense seeing as how the cRavens are CB starved.

     

    I hope the Bills do not give up McKelvin in any deal.

     

    Seriously in a division with Randy Moss/Brandon Marshall/Braylon Edwards/Santonio Holmes the Bills really can't afford to be trading someone with the potential of McKelvin especially when you consider that McGee and Drayton Florence are getting up there in age, while guys like youboty/corner are likely nothing more than nickle/dime backs. Gaither is a nice player, but the Bills can afford not to be in a hurry on this one.

  2. If we had a Brandon Marshall to catch his 5-10 yard passes for over 100 receptions 5.2 yac and 10 tds, than sure. With The Bills Orton is more likely to throw 10-12 tds rather than 21. Have around a 70 qb rating 53-55% completion pct rather than the 62% he completed in Den. Essentialy Orton is Trent Edwards

  3. Ravens/Giants

     

    Baltimore finally has the legit #1 receiver to go along with their good stable of runningbacks. It's a make or break year for Joe Flacco. This Baltimore offense has no excuses not to be above league average. Adding Sergio Kindle and Mount Cody to their already stout front 7 will only be a benefit. The multiple 3-4/ 4-3 looks baltimore can throw at you is just insane. No one is running against that defense.

     

    As far as the giants go their one weakness last year was their secondary and lack of agressivness on defense. I always felt Perry Fewell was hamstrung by the way Jauron wanted him to play the tampa 2. Where as Perry learned the d under Lovie Smith, who adds a lot more blitzes and multiple looks. Coughlin will give him free reign to run the defense how Perry sees fit. Aaron Ross moves back to corner with the additions of Deon Grant and Antrel Rolle. Their offense should continue to be above league average. Their young receivers should only get better. I expect them to have a rather big bounce back season.

  4. Sacks are a partial measure, even at Rush OLB, of measuring a player's caliber. Porter was benched toward the end of last season after his play declined. Call it negative, but MIA has some issues at OLB and they sat Porter while Matt Roth was having his issues. Unless he was going downhilll fast, the Dolfelons would not have made that move.

     

    An OLB in a 3-4 still needs to play the run, and Buffalo will see plenty of it if they don't have a decent NT. I expect those OLB's to play it as effectively as they rush the passer.

     

    The guy is a punk, as evidenced by his attack on former Bengals OT Levi Brown. Except now, his play on the field doesn't make up for it.

     

    Matt Roth got placed on the reserve/non-football injury list and than was waived in late november, than was claimed by cleveland. Porter played in 14 games last year and was suspended for one. Yes the Dolphins have olb issues of their own. They also have a young player in cam wake who plays the same position as porter, and is undoubtedly their future. Porter still has pass rush presence. Not to mention would give the bills something they currently lack a veteran 3-4 olb.

  5. I'm gonna disagree with people that Mark Sanchez is the "face of the jets". Yeah he bought a lot of hype with him. Is that cali pretty boy with potential. Maybe in a few years, but right now the heart of the Jets is a tie between.

     

    1a. Rex Ryan

     

    1b. Darrelle Revis

  6. You dont have to defend your stance. Eric Moulds was far more talented than Evans and Reed. He didnt have the luxury of having the same qb for over a decade. **** he barely had the same qb from year to year. I still Blame Gregg Williams for ruining his career, by refusing to kick a fg in a ot game against the Bengals and instead going in for a td in 2003, which led to Moulds tearing his groin, he was never the same after that. He was legit top #1 receiver, the likes of which we had not had since.

  7. Working as a waiter in food service industry the acceptable tip is generally 20% when out to eat. However I fully understand that not everyone can afford that, and as long as people leave 10% I'm cool with that. I'm sorry but if you're out eating and can't afford to leave 10% than do us a favor and stay home. It's a complete waste of our time at work. The average server at a resturant unless we're working an upscale place is under 3 an hour on the clock +tips. The only thing worse is paying your bill, Than sitting there the rest of the night taking up one of my tables costing me money in the process. Realize most of us are generally college aged kids, relying fully on your tips to survive day to day, pay for rent, pay back loans,bills etc etc.

     

    If I go out I'm tipping 20% of my food bill. If I'm just out drinking than I tip a dollar per beer, or 15-20 % of the final bill.

     

    Delivery depending on the order only 5-10 dollars

     

    Pickup unless it's curbside pickup I don't tip. Other than the kitchen no one really doing any work other than ringing in your order.

  8. We all know that our Bills need a franchise QB. That being said what things are you most interested in?

     

    Arm Strength?

    Accuracy?

    Mobility?

    Intelligence?

    Experience?

    Ability/experience of playing in bad weather?

    Character?

    Leadership?

    Durability?

     

    If you had to put these things into order of preference when deciding what to look for in a franchise QB for the Buffalo Bills what would it be?

     

    1. Accuracy

    2. Intelligence

    3. Leadership

    4. Durability

    5. Experience

    6. Arm strength

    7. Character

    8.Mobility

    9.Ability/experience in bad weather

  9. I think we need to think bigger than DiGiorgio. Let's stop talking about 3rd stringers. How about bonafide, starting, headhunting, foaming at the mouth LBs that destroy anything that moves.

     

    I agree we should scrap all these lb's and start from scratch :ph34r:

  10. Shall we select "Hollywood" Sam Bradford or a "Hacksaw" Jimmy Clausen type?

     

    You reverse than and you got that correct. Unless Sam Bradford was the guy who showed up when he was recruited in Limo, and according to what you read isn't all that well liked because of his douchebag holier than though attitude.

  11. so what's the point of cutting these guys now?

     

    Their salaries don't vest until the 1st regular season game.

     

    why cut them now when their replacements are nowhere to be seen?

     

    Typical Bills front office creating holes for no good reason.

     

     

    What holes do these cuts create? A 5th string safety our 4th best te....Ashlee Palmer really. St's players come and go.

  12. Yeah, and Wending looked really good on special teams in 2009. Leonard had the support of an outstanding defense/scheme in Baltimore, so you can't really say whose contribution, during which year, was more valuable to his respective team.

     

     

     

    Yikes. The point was that Wendling, like Leonard, showed some talent in Buffalo. Leonard went on to play for two outstanding defenses and folks here crapped their pants whenever he made a play, since once he left the Bills, we expected him to fall of the planet, and die. /sarcasm

     

    Now since Wendling, like Leonard, also made some great plays for Buffalo, I foresee the same thing happening every time he pops up, regardless of who he plays for next.

     

    My bad I see I over exaggerated lol

  13. It stinks of Jim Leonard 2.0.

     

     

    I'm no Jim Leonhard fan but Jim Leonhard is far and away better than John Wendling. With that said Jairus Byrd/George Wilson/Bryan Scott/Donte Whitner are all better than Jim Leonhard. Why people keep using Leonhard as some guy we shouldn't have cut I'll never understand. He was never a better punt returner than Parrish and was never one of our top 2 safeties to earn time on the field. He got lucky Than Dawan Landry got injured in Baltimore that led to his playing time 2 seasons ago, and became Rex Ryans version of Pierson Prioleau of Gregg Williams/Prioleau type relationship. And at that time he was also not better than Ko Simpson

  14. We should trade Edwards and a 23 year old rb who could still very well salvage his career, and make SD a better team for the Chargers 3rd string qb?

     

    I guess I see your logic Whitehurst is a winner. He did lead his youth football team to glory. :thumbsup:

     

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Whitehurst

     

    Whitehurst was a player with the Alpharetta Youth Football Association (AYFA). His 1993 90 Pound Division 1 Team won the both the Southeastern Region Championship and the State of the Georgia Championship. His 1994 105 Pound Division 1 Team won the Division 1 Championship in GYFC and the Runner up for the State of the Georgia Championship. Attended Taylor Road Middle School.
  15. Right now I could care less. Until we have a quarterback brought in worth a damn at the position, or someone with at least potential to be a franchise qb, Edwards is still probably our safest bet. I think the guy is scared of his shadow. Partly due to the coaching he received from the Jauron regime, and partly because of the oline/injuries/and his overall incompetence. Currently though he's the best of a horrible group of qb's.
