If we want owners or Goodell to stop commenting on the stadium then we need to ask all of our local reporters to stop asking them about it. Owners meeting? I guarantee Carucci or A.N.Other was walking around asking each owner their opinion. Goodell is in town? what should we ask him about: Brady and the Stadium. No surprises with how he answered. As others have said, of course he's going to back a new stadium. If we don't want to hear that answer then we need to stop asking the question.

I feel like I heard him talk to John Murphy one time about the Packers in advance of the Packers game or something. If the same guy I think he said he was from Buffalo.

If EJ isn't starter, it's much easier to keep Tuel as you can put him on practice squad due to games played. So it makes perfect sense that if EJ is really second to Taylor that he quickly drops to odd man out in terms of roster. As I mentioned before I think Cassell makes the team regardless as a veteran hand.

I found the articles yesterday to be lacking new news. I think there really is no change from the day Cassell was signed. Cassell is here for veteran leadership and a steady hand. He makes the roster as starter or back-up. That leaves Taylor and Manuel fighting for one, maybe two spots. So can't say we learned anything new from Carucci or Joe B's reports yesterday.

Fred's outlasted McGahee, Spiller and Lynch. That's the main reason not to count him out. For me, so many times we needed a play last year, Fred came through. It's a tough intangible, but I hope the coaching staff & personnel staff recognize that that goes beyong what happens in practice.

The question is: do you think he had the final football say when Gailey and his predecessors were hired? I choose to believe that Ralph was making these calls more than Brandon. If you're like me, the main thing you get to accuse Brandon of is promoting Whaley and the hiring of Marrone. While three weeks ago, the hiring of Marrone looked questionable; a year ago, you could see the reasoning. I back Brandon staying in place, as some form of 'president' 'chief executive' running the business side, with a director of Football type who answers less to him and more to the owners and fans. (not sure if this is Whaley, but Whaley I think deserves a shout)

While I wouldn't swap him, I'm still not sure I understand the reasoning of cutting him last year. It seems like we still had plenty of cap room, and probably would not have had the issues Kolb had in terms of concussions. I certainly would have been happier with Fitz's performance in cleveland versus Tuel. (Thad Lewis was alright, but so hard to know the potential) I also think that if Fitz lost the starting job via a fair competition he would have been professional. Hard to argue him not wanting to renegotiate the contract both parties entered into willfully. Just as much as you can't argue with the Bills not wanting to renegotiate every year with Jason Peters.

this crossed my mind around dinner time last night and made me okay by the time we actually traded away the top pick... -ha

If this is how you feel, why bother coming onto the board until the Bills win? By being on here I can only assume you have some of the same hope as the poster you ridicule. If not, why waste your time on here until they win; just jump back on the bandwagon at that point.

I'll agree I liked his comments on Murph's show... BUT we've never heard what the Bills offered and what his agent is demanding. All we know for sure is that the Bills were willing to pay AT LEAST the value of the franchise tag. (Not chump change) I also agree that the Plantar Faciitis is a tough injury from a perception sense for someone just coming back from a contract hold-out. I've had it, but it is very 'misty' Who knows, happy to have him on our team, but want to be able to keep as many of these players around as possible.

Can't afford players like him in the short-term when the team plays like they did Saturday... if we want more performances like Saturday let's get a team of Da'Rick's. Yeah he 'might' get his s4!t together somewhere down the road, but we need to build a culture here more than we need to find out if he *maybe* makes it.... Yes if his head was screwed on I would have loved him, but then he also probably would've gotten drafted by someone else. ~we all know he wasn't going to contribute anything short term on special teams when he doesn't even know he was supposed to be on the field.

I find being angry at Mario for his response for something that NBC said is off the mark... eff off Harrison and NBC... that's what every response on here should say.

-One win against the Patriots and/or Jets is plausible but unlikely so put me down for a loss in that game (11/27)-Also you have us winning against both Washington and Dallas. Personally, I think we will lose one of those games; let's say 10/30 in Toronto (that reasoning says we could lose both) -Though I think we look like the better team than Miami, I think we drop the game in Miami (11/20) That's 7 & 9 assuming we win all the other games we should. If we drop one more we're 6 & 10. Not a huge difference between success and failure.

If they offered the Evans pick that would be kind of interesting.
