  1. Imo, our Bills do not have the time nor cap space to waste on a non-talented player such as Josh Reed.

    I am guessing, but imo, he is a classic example of a kid who didn't try hard enough. Posters here throughout the years have told of his partying exploits. I believe it.

    As much as I am not thrilled by the Parrish draft pick, at least he has possibilities. Josh otoh has been here long enough and his tenure has been a failure.

    Jmo, but I am hoping that the Bills cut him, and his pass dropping ways.

  2. >>>>Under pressure from Robinson, Gallagher-Smith eventually told her husband and said he forgave them, and Robinson continued to caddie for Gallagher-Smith through the end of the tour season in October, Robinson said.<<<<

     

    "OK, no problem! Now, go out, win, and have fun you two."

    Is this what the husband said? :lol:

     

    Btw, this could backfire on the caddy. Being a slut does not disqualify the golfer from getting custody of the baby, so if the child DOES belong to him, 17% of his (pre-tax) income will belong to her (at least by the NYS formula).

     

    I think the caddy planned on the golfer getting a divorce and then stepping into a big "purse."

    Interesting case in a changing world. :lol:

  3. TD is NOT my spawn, you lying s#it!

     

    Much to say, no time to say it.  I'll catch you soon.  (Yes, that's a threat.)

     

    BTW, I'm seriously ready for kick-off.

    WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Gotta go to work, but I am thinking that when I get back, The Dean will be here talking some football!!!!!!

    Welcome back Bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  4. "You can still get Shaun Alexander if you want."  Yeah, if you want another malcontent who will demand to be paid AT LEAST double what Travis Henry will.

     

    Florio's a blowhard.

    He may well be a blowhard, but I believe the following.....

     

    >>>>The Bills risk reducing their leverage even further by flirting with former Bears running back Anthony Thomas, who visited Buffalo on Thursday. If they should sign Thomas, the ultimate fate of Henry would seem to be an outright release.<<<<

     

    This is pretty tough to argue with, wouldn't you say?

  5. Everyone acts like it was a huge mistake not to trade Henry before/during the draft.  Am I the only one that thinks the Bills will get better value for Henry during training camp or in the preseason?

     

    Of the 32 teams, one of them (including possibly the Bills) will lose their starting running back before the first weekend of real games.  Having Henry on the roster when that happens will be a great asset.  Even if they end up with a 3rd rounder in '06 for Henry, that pick should be better than a 3rd rounder in '05 would have been.

     

    When someone loses their starter, I imagine getting a 3rd round pick next year won't be very hard when they realize how much better Henry is than their backup, even if it is just to fill in while their main guy heals.

    Travis Henry is all but worthless. He could not bring us a decent pick in a poor draft. Thinking that he can bring us a decent pick in a strong draft is silly.

     

    What is the problem? GMs around the league simply do not view him as a good football player, which he is not.

     

    Imo, he will be cut in early September, and then if he is lucky, sign for the NFL minimum with another team. The Bills will lose a sack of sh-- and gain approx. 1 mil in cap space.

    Sounds OK to me.

  6. I've never known you to be diplomatic and it seemed to me like you let him off the hook. 

     

    I expected a stevestojan reference - or at the least "embarassingly inept."

     

    I think you and I agree that he was anything but spectacular  :D

    322995[/snapback]

     

    Diplomacy..... Could this be the new me? :P

     

    I guess there is little choice with absolute posts like this:

     

    >>>>We can only improve the QB position. 46 TDs last year- 10 by our defense and special teams. Fyou Drew! Good riddance!<<<<

     

    Notice the word "only." What on earth will the worshippers say if this already annointed all-time great falters? :(

  7. No. No sarcasm here - we are essentially a collection of fun-loving folks who consider being mutually insulted an act of community acceptance, and have a common bond of eating unhealthy foods and making outlandish statements, and share a touch of fatalism -how can one not after 0 and 4 in SB's, my friend?

     

    Also, there are a good number of folks here that have knowledge of football that I could study for the rest of my life and never hope to attain their insight.

     

    So, here you get it all - great info, funny repartie, excellent advice, you name it.

     

    Keep posting!

    I agree with every word of this post. It was SO good that there is no reason for me to even read the rest of the thread. :(

  8. I agree. I'd rather have a DT on the field than a whiner in the locker room.

    First of all, thanks for your contributions wrt the draft. You are one of the people who puts in the time and expertise, and it IS appreciated.

     

    I am afraid that you will disappointed when the TH scenario plays itself out.

    If the Bills were to get a draft pick for TH, especially a good one, you would be one of the people to do the research and make predictions.

    Unfortunately, I place TH in the same sinking boat as Shelton. I will make a blanket statement/prediction that in ANY scenario, TH will not be a member of the Buffalo Bills Football Team in 05.

    It would be great if TD could salvage a pick for this habitual loser, but the odds of this happening imo are quite slim. I firmly believe that TD would rather cut this fool than to hand him to another football team for a 5th, 6th or 7th round pick.

    I can see his point. GMs have to live every day as tough guys, and it could be dangerous for TD to be viewed by his peers as one who would cave when backed into a corner.

     

    In summary, I do not count on the Bills obtaining anything but approx. 1 mil. of cap relief for finally dumping this miscreant. If we DO salvage a pick, I am counting on you and others to do your homework once again and tell us who is out there. :(

  9. I am not convinced that the Bills need another DT. Either way, Corey Simon , on the worst day of his life is worth scads more than Travis Henry.

    My hope is that any team will come forward and give up a draft pick for Travis before he is released outright.

  10. I dont think we have our transition tag because of the Spikes signing, i think we get it back when his contract expires or he is cut.  However, if we franchise Nate, then I htink we can sign him to a long term deal eithe rbefore march 15th or something and after like july 15th but if we sign him in the interim period, then we lose the franchise tag for the duration of that contract...i believe.

    I think that the Bills lost that tag with Jeff Wright about 12 or so years ago.

  11. Based on my reading of the cap hits numbers wonderfully provided by Clumpingplatelets, if Reed is cut it will create 400K in deadspace from his amortized bonus.

     

    I'mk pretty sure that the Bills braintrust will bite the bullet if necessary and take a cap hit for a player they have cut if they have to. However, I think they will be reluctan enough to do this that they will give a player they have already committed $ for every chance to make the roster.

     

    As we currently are carrying $5.3 million in deadspace in 2005, (a lot of this is Bledsoe) an extra half million for Reed is not make or break, but it is substantial enough he will likely get a second look in camp (if not a third and fourth look) even if he screws up.

     

    Reed was very impressive in past camps including the two that led to bad seasons for him.

     

    Folks have asked whether he will be cut and I really doubt this, and in fact I think he will get every chance to replicate his first year very good results as a slot WR for Evans/Moulds that he achieved with Moulds/PP

    OK, but how much would they save by eliminating his salary?

  12. Even though I have yet to see arcadiabob back after i lost my bet to him that Travis would be traded to the Cards (as I over-estimated the Bills coaches opinion of Shelton), I just wanted to make it official that I sent off $100 to #89 today for Hunters Hope so some patsietroll doesn't come back two years later and call me a welcher.  :(

    You were/are a true man to stand by your convictions, back them up, and send money to a worthy cause.

    My compliments indeed.

  13. Last year, Carson Palmer started out with a putrid 1 and 5 record.  With Kitna coming off a career year, the fans were angry my friends. ;)

     

    But they stuck with him, and had incorporated an offensive scheme to accentuate his physical attributes. Arguably, without his injury and the other boatload of players that went down, they make the playoffs.

     

    Stick with JP.

    321227[/snapback]

     

    Would you agree that to emulate the historically hapless Bengals is probably not a good idea? :(

  14. I honestly believe that if JP doesn't give us the best chance to win by the end of training camp, he won't start the first game.

     

    The focus is on developing JP this offseason, but the NFL is not a developmental league - the player that gives the team the best chance for a win on Sunday starts, regardless of position.  Anything less disrespects the fans and the effort of every other player on the team - see NY Giants 2004.

     

    JP's leash is 4 preseason games.  If he's not ready to start Week 1, Holcomb takes us to the playoffs instead.

    Good post. I hope that you are correct.
