    as we know with his coaches Ralph does not like to pay people that no longer work for him and with TO's guaranteed contract there is no chance TO gets cut

     

    Ralph would rather keep someone around then have to pay them when they dont work for him anymore

     

     

    While i agree with you, ralph is going to have to pay both of them anyway. let's hope some of the youngsters get to see the field!!

    Tim Graham on Sportscenter

    Anyone else notice on sportscenter this morning they were going to chat with Adam Schefter . Heading into commercial they said the bills are looking to trade a wideout, but not the one you think. Then when Schefter came on, they skipped that topic. My obvious thought was the Smurf, but could the bills inept front office actually be considering trading Lee one year removed from his extension?

    A Jacksonville article

    If Jax loses the Jags, so what? We'll still have the great weather, the beaches, and the low taxes.

     

    First, a little background.....born in 1960, and grew up in WNY in the southtowns. Of course was brought up to love the Bills and saw a few games at the Rockpile, and many games at Rich. Moved away in '78 to go to college and never came back (well, I've come back for yearly visits).

     

    Been here in Jax since 1995, coincidentally the Jags first year. Of course the town was/is full of Dolfish fans, and even more Gator & Seminole fans. You may recall that the Jags had some phenomenal early success under Coughlin, but blew a 14-2 season with a loss to the Titans in the AFC Champ game (in Jax too). A large segment of the crowd has always been known as the "wine & cheese" crowd who really don't give a rat's a$$ about the game, then there's the "blue-collar" grunts......nbot sure who's causing the low turn-outs, prolly a combo of both.

     

    Personally, of course I remained true to the Bills, and in the 90s and the early 2000s I was the biggest fan out there (had NFL ticket at home for many years). Then in about 2004 I had an epiphany and realized how much of my life I was wasting sitting in front of a TV watching football....and not just Bills games, but LOTS of other games too. Surely the Bills' dismal play had me frustrated and disappointed so often, that it made my decision easier to go "cold turkey" and spend my Sundays out actually doing things and enjoying my life.

    OK, so what does all of the above have to do with anything? lol I think that a lot of people are coming to the same conclusion I did back in 2004. And with the woeful economy and ever-rising costs to go to a game, it makes it much easier. Certainly here in FL (even in the winter) there are PLENTY of "fun" things to do on Sunday instead of spending 3-9 hours watching football!

     

    Oh btw, I'm glad I grew up in WNY and am proud of that, but IMHO, the quality of life available here in FL is far beyond what can be had up there.

     

    I'm not saying I'm not a "fan" anymore, not at all. Just saying that I'm nowhere near the level I used to be, and there are many factors that caused it. For many people, the cost and hassle of going to a game just isn't worth it.

     

    Now you waste your time on football message boards?

    Langston Walker is a Clown

    Let's see....they move him out of his natural position, stick a rookie next to him, tell him to lose 40 lbs., and keep paying him RT money to play a position they were willing to pay his predecessor $5 million more to play.

     

    He's taking one for the team.

     

    Um, you realize LW is making like 5MIL this year? If the Bills were willing to pay JP 5Mil more than that, he wouls still be here. 5MIL for a right tackle is All-Pro money.

    How much is Roscoe worth?

    I agree with most of the posters here. If you can't get a two or a very early three, then you keep Roscoe. He is such a difference maker on returns. I also would(like many others here) like too see TM focus on playing defense and don't want to see Leodis doing double duty on special teams and playing corner. A 5th for someone with Roscoe's ability is laughable.
