Something isn't right. Two out of three of these NC State guys have bust written all over them. Maybe not, but cmon, you certainly could make an assumption. So you think mccargo will be the only good one out of the three?

i'll eat every member of the jills.

Handing JP the job and letting PhatPat/Jonas walk makes me beleive that he was playing for 2006 and that he would have made more effort to bring higher caliber players into the OLine mix this year. The discussion can never be more than speculation but I'm inclined to think that given that one more year he would have spent another Day1 pick (or possibly even 2) on the OLine as well as making a serious run at LBentley (who probably would ahve gone to Cleveburgh anyways); and would have had a nice looking OLine when the season started although you may be right in saying that was tom D's plan, i think it is a pretty flawed plan. a successful offense begins with a good line. looking at the good teams in the league proves that. big name skill players often leave their successful teams for lucrative deals elsewhere, and their former teams continue winning games. the loss of premier linemen, although sometimes overlooked , leaves a much bigger void in my opinion. losing a productive lineman also frequently creates a domino effect and can cause other members of the unit to struggle playing alongside unfamiliar and often less talented replacements. i think part of that is that consistency is needed along the o-line as they play not as five players but a cohesive unit. building a team around a young qb and skill players is laughable and the results are what we see now with this team. damn, i thought all my teflon tom angst was gone.

from your summary JoeF i can't help but think just how profound the differences are between marv and tom donahoe. marv clearly had to settle for a 5th in exchange for moulds and openly admits he had no other offers. i have to believe tom d would have been very stubborn in that situation which you could view as positive or negative i guess. also the fact marv discusses the logic or thought process behind hirings and signings is a big change at OBD. his frank manner in discussing jp(at least i get that impression from your summary) is also very different from anything tom d would ever say. i'm not sure how marv will work out and he's definitely giving us some reasons to doubt him, but it is refreshing to actually here comments from our gm that are actually insightful and not just a bunch of BS meant to mask all of the failures the team has had

i agree with the positive posters here. at least this schedule could give us a glimmer of hope for a somewhat competitive second half. the first two road games are tough, but the team i figure will struggle in those early games anyhow with all the new personnel, new offense and defense to learn, etc. hopefully the bills will get it together at some point this season(i know it's a bit of a stretch) and the winter home games should benefit them. i epecially like miami coming to Buffalo in Dec. the 1pm starts are a huge plus as well, mainly on the road. teams in general don't seem to perform well in late (4pm) road games and i have heard many former players speak about that. most say they find it hard to get really into a game after spending the better part of the day in a hotel room or meeings, etc. i don't really know how accurate that may be, but it's always seemed a logical theory to me.

my hatred of miami and new england would keep me watching, but i don't think i would follow the team in its new form.nor do i see myself picking a new team. i'd still just hate the same teams i hate now.

the existence of EM will forever be debated by members of two camps. there are kelly holcomb enthusiasts who argue that he most certainly exists. some even claim to hav e"game tapes" proving that he in fact is an nfl "Wide Receiver". most tapes however when investigated are proven to be fraudulent. then of course there are the JP losman supporters who deny any and all claims that there is such a creature named eric moulds on the roster of the buffalo bills or on any other football roster anywhere. "maybe you could find him in loch ness" one bills fan joked last december when reports were rampant that eric moulds had indeed been spotted in an endzone somewhere in WNY. the debate will never be settled until undeniable forensic evidence is found. paternity tests on children in the orchard park area are ongoing to see if this elusive creature has attemped mating with local human women.

well with the release of Brantley, the rest of the bills offseason moves just make no sense whatsoever and seem rather lackluster... oh, wait a minute

i sold him an eightball last night.

kffl is reporting free agents jeff wright and howard ballard will be in for visits on thursday. git r don marv ( or whatever it is you guys say)

ron edwards seems the most likely candidate.

if the bills trade down in the draft i'd love to see them get mangold from osu. i'm not really thrilled by any of the free agent centers out there

i'd love for the bills to get bunkley but as already mentioned by one poster, not at #8. and since buffalo has yet to make any kind of noise in free agency, i wouldn't really mind them trading out of the #8 spot in order to get more picks. this team has alot of holes to fill and trading down to get say an extra 2nd rounder sounds really good right now. hopefully leinart,young,or cutler fall to #8 and the bills could get some suitors for that pick.

offer free zanax to the first 20,000 people in the ralph every sunday. that or make the jills take off a piece of clothing every time opposing teams score.
