I have been thinking about the WR position, and have come to believe that TD has some very seriouus decisions to make. What TD will do will to a large degree depend on his evaluation of, and expectations about Evans.
Moulds is due to count more than 8 million vs. the cap. To his credit, he is willing to renegotiate, and wants to remain in Buffalo. Imo, we still need Eric because our younger receivers haven't shown much. A case could be made that Josh Reed even sucks.
I am thinking that Evans will be a star in this league, and will step into the role as the #1 receiver on the Bills before the 05 is over, especially if Drew is not the starter.
If TD thinks the same way, I doubt that he will sign Moulds to a very large contract. Eric can be a GREAT #2 wideout, but those guys tend not to be paid the huge salaries. Imo, these will be tough negotiations. I hope Moulds will remain on the team, but he may have to take a pretty big pay cut in order to do so.
This is going to be one wild offseason.

Miami has a top 5 pick, correct? They are going to give it to us for a 2nd round pick and Travis Henry?
Sounds OK, but I think that we should hold out for Jonathan Ogden and the Ravens first round pick.

>>>> I say his trade value goes up the longer the Bills keep him even if they keep into the start of next season.<<<<
But it will start shrinking as soon as GMs around the league factor in the won/loss record of the Bills with TH as the starter, as well as the number of games that he played a huge role in the Bills losing.

Good post. I think that there is NEVER a bad time to draft good blockers.
Yes, I expect the Bills OL to improve with or without Jennings, but I dont think that Big Mike will ever have the agility or foot work to play LT. I do however hope he can develop into a dominant RT, which is OK.
The Bills must also get deeper (probably via the draft) at the cornerback position. Clements might leave after this season, and MaGee returns punts, so it would be impractical to not strengthen this position.

Draft Rian Moats and sign Amos Zeroue.

No my friend, I do not.
Are you telling us that lifting the ban would hurt you SO much that you would age 20 years? Come now.
Joe, you are a good guy, and a serious MF. Honestly, you are one of the few people from whom I could even begin to dignify such a flimsy stance. THIS is how much respect I have for your service to our country, and you as a person.
Otoh, you can say what you want about blzrul, but SHE took the correct position on this issue Bro.!!! The decision should rest upon the shoulders of the property owner, not the government (nor the smoker). I hope that deep down, you are not geting "flimsied away," but in any event, I hope to see you at 1/5 this year. I promise to not contaminate you and spoil your health surge by standing too close to you if I am smoking (outdoors).

>>>>>The same can not be said for Henry. He is not a credible threat when lined up wide. He also can not handle the mental requirements of the system. Henry barely could handle a scaled back version of the Bills' system. He would CONSTANTLY screw up blitz pickups, run the wrong way on plays, and line up incorrectly. He is a stupid one dimensional back who would comically fail in Reid's system.<<<<<
Well said. If it were I who posted this, I would be attacked by a childish little twit who vowed to stop reading my posts but instead stalks me, and feels OK with posting racial slurs.
In any event, I agree 100%!!!
I think that sadly, TH is a perfect fit for the Steelers, not Philly. In the Steeler offense, he would not be required to catch, run patterns, think, nor probably even block. He could run behind their deep, strong, talented OL that was SO good that a rookie qb was able to have a standout season. Travis IS a strong runner and he could play, imo, a prominent role on the Steeler offense. Also, Cowher would not coddle him nor try to soothe his feelings. No way!
The front page of TBD has many articles stating that TD is open to a trade with the phish. Would he be willing to trade with Pitt, toward which he probably has bad feelings? I hope so IF he could hoodwink them for the highest possible value, which again, imo, will be far less than the consensus here believes.
It is, and will get even more interesting to see how the Bills are best able to rid themselves of this person.
Again, good post Bro!!!!!!!!

The dirty little secret here is that it looks pretty doubtful that Jennnings is going to commamd anything near what LTs have gotten in the past from the market. This is not because of Jennings value compared to some of the other folks eho hsve gotten big dollars in the past who are not as good as Jennings, it is because ofsupply and demand.
Bascially there are 32 LT contracts which are the market Jennings will be mining.
Subtract from that market:
1. 8 teams already pay LTs 8 of the top 19 OL cap hits
2. 12-16 other teams have already committed big log term contracts to players like Clifton and Petitgout and are not in the LT market.
3. Of the 12 remaining teams subtract out as competitors for the Bills teams which are likely close or beyong the cap even though they could use Jennings services and we can give JJ a better deal without sweating AT appears to be in this boat because after a huge outlay for Vick and previous FA commitments like PP they are likley going to be cutting players merely to mske the cap much less generate cash for JJ.
4. Whoever has cap room and is left have the ability to pay for better LTs like Orlando Pace, Walter Jones or Tra Thomas who are probable FAs.
JJ only has to get one off-market deal and there are plenty of fools running NFL teams, but when the smoke clears it will not surprise me at all if though the Bills will give JJ the biggest contract he has ever seen in his life, the market will mandate that it be for much alot much less than the salary cap hits commended by FA LTs in this league in the recent past.
Another great post FFS. Personally, it seems clear to me that JJ wants out of Buffalo, and might even be willing to accept LESS money from a team of his choice (Atl.) than the Bills.
I hold on to the hope that TD, via a Franchise Tag, might be able to salvage some compensation for delivering him to the team of his choice ala Peerless, even if said compensation is less than a 1st round pick.
One can only hope.

AD, as mayor, Rudy was ALWAYS against a smoking ban in bars.
True conservative? No, but he was pragmatic, and a great mayor.

Joe, imo, the issue is not really what YOU enjoy, NOR the rights of individual citizens who choose to smoke.
I think that the choice should rest on the shoulders of the owner of the property, and I would be fine with a sign OUTSIDE the establishment alerting patrons as to whether or not they will be "exposed."
What is happening to you? Are you becoming a leftist?

When if these "private actors" decided that African-Americans are more prone to high blood pressure than whites, or Gays were more likely to contract AIDS than are hetros?
How do you think that would fly?

This thread should be on PPP.

Oh Dude, cant you even read a post and place it in the context to which it was written?
>>>>Conceivably WM might have made a differnce but it looks really doubtful.<<<<
The above is a quote from FFS. THAT is what I responded to. I did not initiate the thread nor the topic, did I? HE made a statement to which I responded.
Were there other factors in the 0-4 start? Of Course!!! I am still pissed about Big Mike coming into camp as a walrus, but will forgive him if he is in shape this year.
Why is it not OK to respond to a post about which one has a disagreement?
I dare say that you too may have issues with the assertion made by FFS. Or, are you telling me that it is doubtful that WM, if healthy and inserted from the opening game, could not have conceivably resulted in another win for the Buffalo Bills?
Forget the BS and answer a football question. Is that asking too much?
-
No, and even if I did there's a difference between believing someone is something bad and stating it as fact. One is personal opinion, the other, if false, is libel. I personally don't care for Travis. I think he's a punk. But I've never met him, so I know I'm only going by snippets of what I've seen of him. But it's not like if he passed by me in the mall, that I'd pull my daughters closer to me...
That Dan is strictly up to you. Do you want to drop it or continue to attack me?

Take a timeout from being a judgemental dope, and consider that just because you, in your eternal wisdom, do not agree with a suggestion on a message board, it may not be a "retarded" suggestion.
Is that too much to ponder? OK, I will dumb it down for you!
Neither you nor I are GMs of an NFL team. There are reasons for this. With me so far? Your views, however much esteem you hold them in, are as likely to be wrong as are mine.
You can sit there smirking, and type away with a smug and all knowing attitude, but trust me, you and I are just fans on a message board. It would suit you well to stop playing expert and accept this truth. OK Coach Parcells?
:I starred in Brokeback Mountain: -
Who do you think the complainers will be.....the people who don't hate Drew and support open competion, or the posters who have him virtually enshrined into Canton?
-
I think it is a bad idea, but I am not going to jump all over you like a smug, pseudo-intellectual a-hole because you made a suggestion on a message board.
-
FFS, please. You know how much I enjoy your postings (and have for years) but you left out SACKS allowed with TH on the football field.
Now, let's throw in falling down (untouched) in front of holes for no apparent reason, dropped passes and running wrong routes. Your conclusion might change, no?

I think that Kelly had a respect for Bills fans, or at least the edge we provided him. Didn't he once refer to home games as playing in front of "80,000 sick people?"

They should make him go to a bar in which someone lights up a cigarette with the consent of the bar owner.
Sorry, I couldn't resist and am NOT making light of the subject.
I did domestics for 3 years and have seen this and worse. There is not enough punishment for this person unless there truly is a hell.
-
Why do baseball players, regardless of the score, give each other high fives after every homerun? Sincerity? I highly doubt it.
I would like to believe that football players care a bit more, especially in a cold weather, working class area such as WNY, but it is wishful thinking.

How Good Do You Think Evans Will Be?
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
Please keep in mind that my post was NOT to bash Moulds. Like I said, imo the Bills need him in 05.
I also dont think that Evans was selected at #13 to be a second receiver for his entire career. Perhaps I rate him higher than many here, but I think that Evans will be a literal star on the Bills, and soon.
As for the PP comparison, I think that Evans is even faster than PP thus even more dangerous. I am MUCH happier with Evans on the Bills than I was having PP.
