  1. A couple of weeks ago (Thr 2/3), Dennis Williams on the 10pm sports report on WNYO, reported that the Bills has approached MW for a re-working of his deal.

    I haven't heard or read anything else about it

    MW cap numbers are:

     

    2005: $9.17 million ($4 million salary, $2.17 million amort. , $3 million roster)

    2006: same as 2005

    2007: $7.17 million ($5 million salary, $2.17 million amort.)

     

    he also has a number of NLTBE's as well that could impact the cap

    A 9.17 cap hit for Mike Williams is a sad state of affairs by any stretch of the imagination. Pace and Jones have smaller hits as "Franchise Players."

    MW picked up his game last year but he in NO Pace and he is NO Jones.

  2. At times amusing, mostly embarassing, the Drew lovers on the wall have encouraged mean and adamant resonses from those who know better. Today at 11:00 a.m., the Bills will release UNCONDITIONALLY Drew Bledsoe. As a QB, he's terrible and that's the ONLY measure to judge him by.

    KEMP; FERGUSON; KELLY and NOW JP LOSMAN!!

     

    GO BILLS!!!!  :lol:  :lol:  :(

    Yeah, I didn't think that Drew was so bad. I guess that makes me a "Drew Lover," so thanks for the "crow." I do believe that you are certainly a worthy dispenser as such.

     

    I see in your gleeful post that you already have JP in there with Kelly, etc. My questions is why set your sights so low? I think that JP will be better than Montana, Elway and Young, no problem!

     

    Unless of course another defensive back brushes up against him. :D

  3. Pot, meet kettle.

     

    "Anti-war at any cost"

     

    "Anti-law-enforcement"

     

    "militant vegetarians"

     

    I'm sure no Democrat would contest those generalizations, or any of the others.

     

    Smooches to you too William. For clarification, I didn't offer you any help. Go find a bar to smoke in.

    OK, we have a deal. I think no less of you, but offer you zero assistance in your quest to marry another man. That said, I do offer you my wishes for happiness, and that you will find a way to be a tad less smug.

  4. I thought #10 was the Republican platform.

     

    Why did you post this? Do you think these are true? Do you think someone like Mickey could post an equally biased view of the Republicans?

     

    "1) Racist

    2) Sexist

    3) put the elderly in a box and forget about them

    4) give money to the rich

    5) no healthcare for kids

    6) ignore education"

     

    etc.

     

    Is that somehow helpful?

    240003[/snapback]

     

    First of all, your list is untrue. Next, I need no help of any kind from you. Let's be clear on that, shall we sweetie?

  5. Dont get me wrong. I have huge issues with both Bush and the republican party, but let's take a look at the dems major causes and characteristics....

     

    Platforms:

    1) Anti-war at any cost.

    2) Anti-business, radical environmentalists.

    3) Tax Increases

    4) Gay Marriages

    5) Anti-smoking in bars.

    6) Legalize marijuana

    7) Anti-law enforcement for the most part.

    8) Militant vegetarians.

    9) Last second abortions.

    10) The newest one..."Let's Pretend that we are Conservative"

     

    Leaders:

    1) Kerry

    2) Hillary

    3) Dean

    4) Pelosi

    5) Sharpton

     

    Look at this absolute mess. Please, dont blame republicans for the current state of affairs. If you dems cant do any better than the above, you have only yourselves to blame for, despite a huge base, being losers.

     

    PS: I am NOT calling individual dems on this board "losers," OK? I was referring to the recent elections.

  6. I think we will.....

     

    I actually think there are a couple more cuts that need to be made...Prelou?

    239282[/snapback]

     

    John, I hate to be contrary, but I hope that the Bills can find a way to keep PP, perhaps at a lesser cost. He is SO good on STs!

    On one punt this season, this guy "fast freddie" had a dumb late hit. I could hear Priouleaux yelling at him "we dont do that here."

    I dont think he will ever be a very good safety, but I would truly hate to see the chemistry of those special teams disrupted.

  7. So they think that it's better to have a 12-year vet around than watch our rookie qb get pounded like Eli Manning? And they say JP isn't even as GOOD as Eli Manning.

     

    Oh, man. They have no clue. If only they knew how smart everyone here is...they'd realize how stupid they are.

    239242[/snapback]

     

    Really LA, they need to wake up.

    JP is much better than Montana NOW, let alone Eli. Just imagine how he will do in a few years!

    What are they thinking? :blink:

  8. As much as I love Philly, they don't have to worry.......their teams as of late couldn't hold a candle to the Super Bowl Bills. I just saw Donovan McNabb and TO both say that they were tired in the fourth quarter against the Pats. Michael Irvin asked TO why they didn't realize that being down by two scores with time running out, that maybe they should pick up the pace. TO said they weren't even thinking about it like that. How pathetic. Don Beebe has more heart and 'never say die' than the entire Eagles offense. The stigma attached to the Bills is nothing more than that - a stigma. Those teams accomplished more than the Eagles have by far.

    Well said!!! We all bear our wounds from the losses, but we went down like brave men, from a reigon of great people.

  9. Bill, do you really have that much faith in Ron Edwards?  I mean, he showed some flashes this year and definitely improved over his previous seasons, but you think he's good enough to be a starter?

    238045[/snapback]

     

    Yes my friend, especially when taking into account how these guys are rotated. Edwards is huge, young, and can rush the passer.

    Look, I trust the coaches, but think about it.....what if he could be locked up for 5 years at 12 million dollars or so? He would count oh so little against the cap, and we could use the cash for other positions/players.

    The Bills truly need another cb. Surtain would be just the ticket, but he wont come cheap.

    Gotta admit, the speculation is exciting this time of year!

    GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. We do need a CB, we do need a backup QB, and yes Herm Edwards is probably the WORST in-game coach in the NFL.  What Herm brings is not X's & O's.  He brings leadership & unity amongst the team.  Also, his players love playing for him.  He needs, and we now have to very good coordinators on both sides of the ball.  But, the "lovefest" has already ended for LOTS of Jets fans.  I personally like what he brings to the team.

     

    And yes; our RT is an UFA.  However, we need a LT, not a RT.  Jason Fabini played LT the past few years so McKenzie could play RT.  Now that McKenzie is gone; Fabini will go back to his natural position of RT and we'll be in the market for a LT.

    238041[/snapback]

     

    "In the market for a LT?" LTs are the 2nd highest paid players in football behind qbs.

    As for jet fans, I laugh at how they blame Hackett for their offensive woes. The truth is (imo), Edwards is clearly at fault. I happen to think Pennington is good. He is accurate, but his arm is damaged and weak. Hackett calls a short game which is about all that Chad is capable of doing.

    Personally, I am afraid that you guys will sign Moss. Santana Moss is NOT a #1 receiver. Randy is, and I fear a talent like this being in our division.

    Two more things.....

    1) Do you live in NY? If so, I remind you that the Buffalo Bills football team is the only one that does you any good when you pay your taxes. We alone represent New York football.

    2) If you must remain a jet fan, feel free to stick around. This board, the best football site on the internet, boasts respectful pats and dolphin fans, and we can use another perspective. You will catch a little grief, but just keep talking football and you will be accepted here quite well overall.

  11. PW, in my mind, is as close to a lock to re-sign as can be for a UFA. The reasons mentioned above , along with his amazingly consistent perfomance on the D-line make him a continued value to the franchise...

    238022[/snapback]

     

    Dont get me wrong. I would be happy if PW signed to a reasonable, short term (3 years or less) contract, but given a choice, I would be thrilled to see Edwards signed to a long term deal.

  12. Absolutley he did!  However, he's getting double teams virtually every play.  Jason Ferguson is a free agant and we could either resign him or go after a free agent.  Now don't get me wrong; Fergie is no slouch.  I just think Williams will demand more respect from opposing blockers as well as well as some double teams freeing up Vilma behind him to utilize his best attribute; his speed!

    238021[/snapback]

     

    I think your team needs cornerbacks, a backup qb, and a headcoach.

    Edwards seems like a great guy. As a matter of fact, I would love to go have a beer with him. He is a gentleman.

    That said, he is a disgrace as a headcoach. The lovefest is ending, and when he starts blowing game next season (again), it is going to get ugly.

    Btw, isn't your RT a ufa?

  13. Travis Henry would be a very bad fit on the Colts offense. Manning is their franchise player, and Henry, unlike James, cannot/will not block. On a simplified Bills offense, he was unable to run correct pass paterns. There is NO way he has the brain to remember the complicated Colts playbook.

     

    I see him as a better fit on the Steelers. He could run straight ahead behind their powerful, deep offensive line. It is a shame, because I cant imagine TD doing business with them.

  14. Whay are so many here down on JP already? Don't you have any trust in the Bills management? You should trust our new head coach on the QB change. I think Mike Mularkey knows what's best for our team.

     

    Damn, it's time to move forward with our team and QB.

    Drew Bledsoe is 100% class on the field and off the field. I wish him the best at what ever he does in the future. If it's here as a backup so be it or maybe he ends up with the Seahawks. I wish the guy the best cause he deserves it. I do think Bledsoe's best days are behind him and he would never get us what we all want and that is a SB ring.

    Because it was exciting to have a chance to make the playoffs until the flop against Pitt. Hopefully, we will bring in a capable qb. in case this kid falls on his face, a distinct possibility.

     

    That said, I am a Bills fan first. I will root for and cheer this kid, but my expectations are low with. His rookie season was a waste. The Bills will be lucky to finish 8-8, and JP will be lucky to finish the season.

  15. I remember a couple years ago having a debate of sorts with you over Ostroski, yet I didn't know he'd rate that high for you? Look at all those who crapped on the Bills, Tony Hunter, Terry Miller, Perry Tuttle, Rob Johnson, Eddie Robinson, Chris Watson,  Art Powell, Tom Flores, and even Keith Lincoln. Then there's Al Cowlings (who rated very high as one of my least favorite Bill), Ronnie "I didn't drop it, it was a bad throw" Harmon, Doug "slap the ball back in my face" Flutie, Walt Patulski, Jerry Crafts, and Jaimie Nails. What about more current players like Mike "Pussywillow" Pucillo, Rian Lindell, Josh Reed,  and those marvelous safeties known as Coy Wire and Isell Reese.

     

    Surely any of these (and many more I'm sure) rate much higher in this negative category than your choices.

     

    It's a given you don't like Henry, and didn't like Ostroski, and while both have or had serious limitations, they certainly don't deserve our scorn nearly as much as do many others who more than earned it.

    My feelings on Travis are well known.

    As for Ostroski, he was signed to a 15 million dollar/5 year contract with a huge bonus as I recall....the problem being that he sucked. He even played hard to get, demanding to play OC, at which he was indescribably bad. In his first start at OC in a home opener against the Titans, he was toosed 10 yards and knocked on his ass on the first play from scrimmage. It never got better.

    Cutting him cost the Bills millions of wasted cap dollars and were a major factor in the 3-13 season, but it was shear delight to oust him and Fina.
