Maroney is a rookie. What you say about Samuel may happen. Anyway, I am not going to get into a bitching match because there is really no real argument from my side. I understand why most of you will disagree but I still think it is a premise worth evaluating by BB.

Dude, it was just a thought. I am not predicting it or anything. Put aside your immediate reaction and think about this for a moment. 3 first rounders in this year's draft will allow them to draft perhaps a new QB, receiver and LB to replace the weak spots. They are $31 MM under the cap where they can also get some good FAs. Their pipeline of young talent will continue to remain full and help them be an elite team for another decade.

I posted in another thread - wondering if last night's game and especially that int will get BB to think about trading Brady now.

I was thinking last night if Bill Bellicheck will start thinking of trading Brady. I know it sounds outlandish but the Pats have made moves in the past - Vinateri, Milloy, Branch, maybe Bledsoe where they trade or let a player go just before they are 'past their prime' . They get good compensation for them and proceed to pick well through the draft. Brady will right now merit atleast two first rounders. Think of how they will be set for the next decade with three first rounders this year and two in the next. The last drive pick got me thinking in this direction - it was not that single play but probably the entire game where he played adequately but not enough to beat the Colts.

Yes, crush the Pats. heck, beat them by one point. But, win !

Figures - a missed FG !!!

Except the hands should be a bit higher - like around Marty's throat.

Un-inspiring or not planning adequately is uncertain. Don't know what it is but Chargers fans must be pi$$ed. Chargers have played this entire game either confused or unenthused.

Sure looks like it at this point. What is it with Marty and post-season underachieving ?

Is Marty S ever going to shake off that stigma of a post-season disaster coach ?

Welcome on board, sir. As you have been a lurker you must be well aware of the personalities and points of view. Great to add another one.

Dump your girlfriend ?

Assuming the poster is a female, I am sure her SO prefers it on the ankle than on her lower back

Sick person ? Pray, why ? I think it is great. Just put up some pics, will ya. When I got inked for the first time last year, I pondered for several months before deciding to go with an album cover. It turned out great and was totally non-standard.

Well probably sports fans are looking to something different especially after the whitewash in the Ashes, eh ? And this is not directed at you, Nick but for the thread in general - Actually, exposure of sports to the international community is a good thing. I realize that fans here miss a home game etc. but look at it from a long term perspective. In a small measure, we get appreciation for a sport that is considered uniquely American and dismissed as such. There are a lot of people who just love sports, period. Educating them to the sport is great. Last I was in India, they were showing some playoff games live ! I loved it but also found a few others that also enjoyed it even though the broadcast started around midnight. Having said all this, if the Bills are one of the teams in this attempt for international exposure, as a fan, I can only feel quite proud.

Not that I trust PFW, but after Ralph Wilson's statement about getting help on OL as being important, it is not too clear whether DL or OL will be the top priority. I think it will come down to which FAs hit the market (as opposed to being retained by their original team). If it is a Steinbach, OL will become 'top priority' .....

Yeah. You would have expected him to be re-tired. A couple of Michelins perhaps.

Wow - all that great work and you have to apologize ? Thanx a bunch, sir.

You obviously missed this thread started by our fearless leader: http://www.stadiumwall.com/index.php?showtopic=57878

I always love structure so do like this idea. Ideally, we can break topics by Offense, Defense and ST with players listed under these topics. First Free agents, then draft picks. Can we then archive discussions about individual players once their fate is decided (ie. we win/lose the bidding war) ?

Yes, I too have wondered about McCargo. Where does he fit in ? We already spent a 1st rounder for a DT (him) last year and would rather see what free agency gets us before we start thinking about the draft.

Re-read what Bill wrote. His point was that Peters is so good that he will be an all-time great. Bill was making his point in a round-about way.

I disagree. That was a bone headed play by Royal. You take the points when you get them (duh). As much as the D was to blame, those were four additional points we left on the table.

You sign up for a paypal account www.paypal.com. You will need to link a credit card to your account and/or your bank account. These should be where funds ultimately come from. Think of paypal as a middle-man in transactions. When you want to pay someone (SDS in this case), you go to the 'Send Money' tab, enter the email address (which SDS provided above), amount you want sent and your email address. Voila - the money is charged to your funding account and sent to SDS. Very easy once you get used to it.

Do you have any reason to believe he will go to the highest bidder ? Yes, he has stated he wants to be richly compensated. But that may be posturing on his part also. After some early-season struggles, he has come on strongly in the second half of the season. Perhaps he is playing for the contract but it also might be that he now 'gets' the Fewell system. He may realize that going to a different team may reduce his national exposure. Secondly, the Bills are going to go deep in the playoffs next year (yeah, I got proof )., so he would want to be part of a successful run here. Finally, Jauron is a very player-friendly coach and Marv is a (great grand) fatherly figure. I bet if the Bills and he are just a few million dollars apart, he will stay.
