His best season was for Ravens actually and he followed his coach to Jets.
Oh that's right he did play a season with the Ravens...forgot all about that.
-
The Saints cut Leonhard.
Oh ok.
I may be in the minority, but I just wouldn't be thrilled with bringing in Leonard. I guess you could say when he was here in Buffalo he was in his prime, and even then I would've considered him a marginal, modest player at best. Matter of fact, I heard more about him and his play when he was with the Jets.

Brings some needed experience to the backfield. He also played in Pettine's defense. Might allow them to move A. Williams to corner while Gilmore is out.
Coach, wasn't A Williams a disaster at corner? Honestly I don't even really see him as a good safety, but he definitely played better there.
I just can't say I'd be happy with bringing in Leonard. He played two or three seasons with the jets, one with the broncos, and now on his Wikipedia page it has him with the Saints. But he's not on their roster on NFL.com...

wow. I don't even know how to reply to this.

But, but, but, he's the greatest Bill of the past decade!
Powell could make the pro bowl and people here would still not like him. He's been the starter for what, ten games?
I respect and value all your opinions and comments, but I just have to ask; do you think Powell is a good punter? I know he hasn't been the starter that long, but have you seen this big leg of his everyone was talking about? I'm not gonna say I don't like him, but I've been far from impressed from what I've seen from him. And I don't think punter is really a position that you have to spend alot of time getting acclimated to, or "get up to speed", so I would fully expect he come in and immediately be, "who we thought he was".
I haven't watched every single one of his punts, and maybe I need to go back and look at some, but I have yet to see him just boom the stuffing out of the ball on a punt, and like JR in Pittsburgh was saying, I also have yet to see him plant one inside the 5 or 10 even.
Maybe it's like some of the posters are saying, since he's the holder, they don't want to rock the boat with Hopkins...
Just my opinion....

When Manuel struggles during the season (which he will), you keep playing him and let him work through it.
Even if we had a savvy vet, I wouldn't put him in just because Manuel hits a slump - barring injury or complete and sustained collapse over multiple games where it is clear Manuel is losing it mentally, of course. But I don't expect that to happen.
If the kid is your starter, play him. Ride the ups and downs. And evaluate his and the team's progress at the end of the year.
Agree 100%. We've invested in Manuel as our QB of the future, and I say let him sink or swim, throw him to the fire, see what the kid's made of, all those great cliches.
There's no doubt in my mind he's gonna have his games where he struggles. Let him work through them. I don't think many people on this board think we're going to have a 10, 11 or greater win season. I'm sure all of us hope we do, but I just don't think it's a huge possibility. So let him start from day one, and stick with him no matter what he does. I think to pull him when he gets in a slump would only make things worse. Even if he's ineffective for long periods, like you said, at the end of the season, go back and evaluate. I know it takes NFL players, most especially QBs, time to develop, but if he has a full year of play, I truly believe you'll know what you have with him moving forward....

Love the effort, have to say not a big fan of it though. Like alot of the other posters have mentioned, I think it looks like someone drew it, by hand. Don't think it looks professional enough for the side of an NFL helmet.
Plus, I think I'm too happy with the charging buffalo....
Again, great effort though by a fellow Bills fan!
-
Me neither.
Haven't seen him really pin anything back inside the 10 either.
I agree, neither have I. Picking up Kluwe would be an upgrage, IMO.
-
I can't hate on Moorman. He volunteered his time and donated to local charities. He is a good man. Always a Bill.
And if not for Lechler, he would've been probably a 5 or 6 time pro bowler....
-
Great attitude, man! IMO, we know what we had with the team we put on the field last year and years prior. We didn't have a problem complaining about that, so why are we complaining about an influx of promising young talent? There is one guarantee. If you don't change, you don't improve. There are no guarantees that changes will make an improvement but there is at least the possibility. It's funny. I see a couple of injuries and a couple of preseason losses and people just completely tank their attitudes. It's just a sport. We have a big number of unknowns going into this season, but there is at least chance our team will surprise.
It's going to be a wild ride for sure, but that's what I like about this sport. I for one am not going to give up. I expect our team to have that same mentality game one against the Patsies. There is no guarantee that they will beat them, but if I'm a Bill, I knuckle down and go for it.....no matter what.
Yes sir!!!!
-
Well this team is certainly young and inexperienced, from the front office all the down to the last player. But a franchise QB can do wonders. Let's hope EJ is that guy.
I have no doubt this season there will be PLENTY of growing pains, but I'm still excited and ready for the ride. This season is such a mystery. We could finally finish with a winning record, or we could win 1 or 2 games. Either way, I'm strapped in and ready to go.
But the youth movement is definitely here.....let's do this!!!!
-
he's been making tackles 15 yards downfield for the redskins for a couple years
-
I agree. I haven't really been impressed with Powell at all. Maybe I need to go back and "look at the tape", but I'm not seeing this big leg everyone was talking about...
-
I would guess Lewis, Kaufman, Blatnick, either Brown or Gaskins, and Rogers
-
Well since they are $20m+ under the salary cap the answer is self-evident.
Judging from Byrd's press conference, it appears to be pretty obvious that he doesn't want to play here. If that in fact is the case fine, let him walk rather than pay him as the top safety in the league, as he isn't.
I wonder, do you think it was the same case with Levitre? I don't really remember much about any of his comments, but I didn't get the sense that he wanted out of Buffalo...
-
Let's Go Buffalo!!!!!!!
-
Which one extended Wood?
Which was awesome. But don't you think they could've signed at least ONE of the two between Levitre and Byrd, if not both?
-
That would be the same front office that has re-upped Eric Wood, Kyle Williams, Stevie Johnson, Fred Jackson, Leodis McKelvin, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Scott Chandler and numerous others as well as shelling out serious $$ for Mario Williams and handing over 7 Million to Byrd as franchise tag recently. What is it about reality in the salary cap era that proves so confounding for some fans? You have to pick your spots in today's NFL. It is no longer a viable option to keep every player that you would have in previous decades. Give credit where due.
And next year when we are having this conversation about CJ Spiller, Byrd round 2, and Dareus, will you still be lamenting the lack of an $8 Million annual commitment to a guard? Which of those 3 would you choose Levitre over?
Don't get me wrong, I am happy the FO was able to extend Wood, who I believe,(if he can stay healthy) will be our center for the next decade, and I'm happy about them re-upping Stevie, and even Kyle Williams,(though he seems like he may be on the downside), and yes, paying the big bucks to go after Mario.
However, with that said, I still believe they could've at least re-signed ONE between Levitre and Byrd, if not both. If it in fact is the case that neither wanted to be here, which is a distinct possibility, then God bless them both and don't let the door hit you on the way out, but, as vincec just said, they had plenty of money to re-sign both.
-
Which front office let Levitre go and has Byrd packing his bags?
+1
-
Wasn't Legursky challenging for a starting guard spot with Brown? so he would've been good for depth....not sure he should've been in the game this late...
-
You gotta be kidding me. Another Bill down.....Legursky
-
Interception by Scott....nice!
-
Concussion?
that's what i was thinking
-
Excellent cartoon, enjoyed it! Great job man

Three sound, great choices. If Stevie has a productive year, and more importantly, shows some maturation and grows up a little more, maybe next year he can be in the conversation too....
