One-on-one with CB: http://www.buffalobills.com/media-lounge/v...97-cabac8b91850 Ya gotta like this signing...

Didn't see this posted, but I like the move even more... http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-3...ba-4913e6abfaed The veteran linebacker talked about the franchise’s tradition as well as their move to a 3-4 defensive scheme as some of the aspects that convinced him to visit the Bills, but defensive coordinator George Edwards was one of the club's best selling points having been Davis' linebackers coach in Cleveland in 2004. “It was a huge factor in this decision," said Davis of Edwards being Buffalo's defensive coordinator “We had a great relationship in Cleveland and now we have the chance to do it all over again. He believes in me and I believe in him and I know we can get it done. The whole time I was in there we just kept talking about the defensive players that we have on this squad right now and with his expertise and my experience and the guys’ playmaking abilities we can definitely turn this thing around.” Davis is also very familiar with Bills outside linebackers coach Bob Sanders, who coached him for three of his collegiate seasons at the University of Florida.

lol @ speculation...

Worst. First Thread. Ever.

Terms per Schefter's Twitter - LaDainian Tomlinson and Jets reached agreement on a two-year, $5.1 million contract with an escalator that could boost deal to $5.6 million.

Yes, yes they are, just ask Russel Brand: http://media.hollyscoop.com/Images/PGImage...ssell_brand.jpg

I caught a bit of it too (I remember the end so I stopped before I got that far); RJ was definitely running for his life, it feels like times haven't changed since then! That first drop back to crushing sack became an all too familiar habit for Rob... Hard to believe we had the number 1 D that year, won 10 games with Flutie, yet Wade went with RJ. We really got RJ'ed on that one. I wasn't super opposed to the move at the time, but looking back Dougie would have had a better shot of winning that one. You don't base a qb start on the final game of the season no matter how much he lights it up.

Welcome to last week, thanks for playing the game...

And I should trust your player analysis over Nix, Whaley and Gailey because...?

/ close thread

If there's one thing Gailey has done consistently is run the freaking ball. Trent can get us to the 20 and Freddy to the end zone...

Exactly, what difference does it make? ICE you've been supportive of the Nix / Gailey regime so far, so look at it this way - if they think Trent should be at camp and have a shot to start, then maybe he should. It's going to be interesting to see who else they bring in as the 4th QB, especially if it's a rookie. Trent's off-season will tell the story on him, I'm sure he knows this is his last shot (in Buffalo at least). We'll have to see if he makes the effort and puts in the time to at least TRY and have a career...

Another solid interview from Gailey. He'll need to back up the talk, but I love what the guy has been saying since he was brought in... Count me in as fired up for the draft and next year's season!

first of all, how do you trust a major news source that can't even format a picture correctly? Journalism is attention to details... My biggest problem is that the writer never explains *why* he thinks the new regime will fail. "While new employees have been brought in to fill the positions of general manager, head coach and various assistant coaching jobs, I remain skeptical. I’m afraid it’s just going to be the same results with a team that on the field has serious personnel issues, particularly at quarterback and up front in the trenches." OK, I complete disagree - who's right? The new staff is at least made up of guys that know football, many of whom have extensive coaching experience and they've even sprinkled in some young bucks too. As for the whining about prices going up, a $59 average price is still super inexpensive for a days outing that is as fun as a Bills game. Lift tickets for one day at most Vermont ski resorts are upwards of $80. My bar tab on weekends is often WAY more than $59! If I ever moved back near Buffalo, season tickets would be the FIRST thing I buy! There's all that, plus as was mentioned by many above, there are plenty of teams that are way more dysfunctional than the Bills!! Have a little faith my Bills friends, the tides HAVE to turn some day. Until then, have a beer, sit back and relax - no amount of your tears (or whining) is going to make the Bills a better team...

Definitely not complaining about that! I just rather see us drafting / picking up LBs rather than DBs...

lol - maybe you have a point there!

Didn't see this one posted... http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2010/02/15/f...-on-3-4-switch/ I like the comment about getting more linebackers onto the field. Let's hope that we can return to the days of excellent LB play that we used to have here. Remember too that George Edwards' background is in the LB corps. If we can get some players in here, I think we're going to like the D over the next few years! I also thought is was interesting that he mentioned it improving special teams too. Under the DB minded Jauron and DB minded D Coordinators over the years we've seen lots of DBs on ST. I'd rather see some LBs in there; guys that can take (and dish out) a pounding. Onward and upward...

Just wondering if anyone else is watching the Winter X Games on ESPN that past couple nights?

I think we have, but we've got a new coach that can develop QB's, the guys on the roster for another year and he might be a decent back-up. Guess I'm not sure why we would cut him, just bring in a rookie and a vet to compete!

Let me break this down for TBD before the speculation starts... Rex Ryan's personality..... (Translation: Rex Ryan turned down the Bills offer to coach) jets chances vs indy..... (Translation: The Jets and Indy are storied franchises, the Bills are not) can you root for a style of play......" i'm still old school" (Translation: The Bills are new school and therefore Cower turned down Ralph) how vikings play when they travel....."must establish peterson early" (Translation: The Bills have no RB like Peterson, should trade Marshawn) were you interested in job opening at buffalo......."great fan base, chan gailey was a great choice, i'll take it year to year" (Translation: the fans are drunken jerks, Gailey was lucky and sucks, I'll coach anywhere but Buffalo next year) your future........"when i come back it will be with an organization where everyone is pulling in the same direction." (Translation: It won't be the the Bills, they're cheap, direction of team is all willy nilly) jerome bettis......"haven't talk to jerome in two years". (Translation: Jerome won't be coahing the Bills, hates Ralph) did Tomlin lose team......."i don't think so, still a potent team". (Translation: Tomlin turned down Buddy's offer to interview for the Bills job)

I wouldn't be so sure, Gailey's known for getting the most out of mediocre QB's. I've even heard a few analysts say that he might be able to turn 'ol Trent around... Regardless there will be one or more new QB's in the building next year!

Welcome to the Information Non-Super Dirt Road my friend... OMG, just read a rumor that the Bills are considering Chan Freaking Galiey for the open HC spot!?!

lol

Schefter just retweeted some random person's tweet that said the same thing. lol @ journalism.

I find it hard to believe, he doesn't sound at all like what Buddy or Chan said they would want in a D...
