Albany,n.y.

At the beginning of the season, no fan wants 1-15. It's in December when the team is bad when I start thinking about the bad record. If they're 5-5, I'm looking to go 11-5, not 5-11. but if we're 1-10, I'd rather lose out & get the top pick than see them go 5-11 & miss out but still suck.

Bad news for Chambers. They'll probably cut him with the idea of maybe re-signing him after salaries aren't guaranteed if he's needed.

Based on age & draft status (1st rd vs undrafted FA) Lynch has more trade value than Jackson. Plus, of the two, Lynch is the guy who wants out of here. Trade Lynch when a contender loses its #1 RB after a few weeks & have Jackson, Simpson & Bell backing up Spiller.

The Bills chose Nelson over Easley for this season. Nelson is healthier & will end up contributing a lot more than Easley would have this season. When Easley comes back next year, he can battle S. Johnson for a roster spot.

I can't believe Brohm is so bitter he just joined TBD & has to vent on TSW. Nice 1st post Brian. Trent is the starter, looked pretty darn good tonight. All Brohm did was hand off and throw a long pass out of bounds in mop up duty. This irrational Brohm is better than Edwards stuff has to stop. The coaches, who practically live with these guys have done their evaluations and at best, have decided Brohm is not ready and will be kept around to try to develop. Meanwhile, like him or not, Trent Edwards is currently light years ahead of Brohm. I don't know if that's a positive for Edwards or a real negative for Brohm.

There's no room for Marshawn Lynch on this roster once Freddy is back. I hope they can get something good for him once he is healthy (and maybe another team has their #1 RB go down). The longer Lynch is around, the worse it gets for him & the Bills. Spiller is the present & the future. Marshawn is the past.

Change your opinion yet? No coach cuts his #1 veteran backup QB to keep two unknown quantities unless the starter is entrenched like a Manning and the backup doesn't stand much of a chance of getting in. With Edwards injury history, Gailey never intended to throw away an entire season by getting rid of Fitzpatrick. Now I wouldn't be surprised at all if not only does Brown get cut, but he never gets on the practice squad because there's only room to develop 1 project & it's more likely to be Brohm than Brown. I think whoever gets cut-Brohm or Brown is gone for good.

Still better than Brohm & the coaches know it.

Edwards 10, Fitzpatrick 8, Brohm 0

So, basically you're selling them for what you paid. You didn't pay $640 for your tickets, unless you're the only one in the stadium not getting a season ticket discount. The Bills website lists your tickets at $560 for the season, if you paid early it was even less than that. I have season tickets, but not in your prime location. I looked up what I paid & it was $388 for the season. That's $48 for each ticket + $4 service fee. My tickets say $55. The price is $400 according to the Bills website, but I sent mine in early & got an additional discount. So, not counting the $4 fee I paid nothing for the exhibition game because I paid $384 for my tickets & the face value of $55 x 7 =$385. You don't even know what you're paying-Get your facts straight before you start calling people names. Also, learn how much you're actually paying before you quote a price, and when you quote a price without a quantity, how are we supposed to know how many tickets you have.

Here's what you stated: Many Dismissed Brohm because he lost his starting job to a 7th round pick, it's obvious the Packers saw something promising in Flynn. My answer was why I have dismissed Brohm. Then I went on to state the excuses Brohm fans use, because if I didn't they'd come back with them, like they always do. Did I ever say that you think Brohm is the savior, like some of the people around here have been telling us all offseason? Maybe you need to STOP drinking.

If you did the math, you would have been able to calculate that if your season tickets cost $560 and the face value is $77 then $77 X 7 (real games) =$539. $560-549=$21. The real price for the preseason game is $21. If you have 2 tickets, you're asking almost double what the team sold them to you for & you're accusing THEM of the rapefest? Most of us who don't want to go just give them away, but you're trying to get almost double the value & you blame the Bills. What a scam!

He wasn't a high profile 2nd round pick. Brohm can't carry or even sniff Warner's jock.

This is like the mid 1980s all over again. We'll be picking guys up on waivers & plugging them into the starting lineup. Pretty sad.

For the final time-how difficult is it for some people to understand that GB preferred to try to keep a guy around as an insurance policy against injury who already knew their system. It's that simple-it was November, nobody coming in would know their offense like Brohm did. What about the question I always ask when someone makes the statement you did-If GB really wanted Brohm, why didn't they try to EXCEED the Bills' deal which was only for last season & this one with no guarantees? The GB counter offer is just more BS from Brohm lovers blinded by his college stats. If you love college stats, go and start a "Bring Timmy Chang to Buffalo" club.

The only QB in any danger of getting cut when they go down to 75 is Levi Brown. Gailey would be crazy to cut Fitzpatrick or Brohm with another exhibition game coming up. What if one of the 3 vets gets a major injury in the last exhibition game? Do the Bills want to let a vet go at 75? Hell no! Your responsibility as head coach is to the team, not some guy who you might need a week later. The Bills will cut down their QBs when they go to 53 & when they do, Fitzpatrick will still be here.

When you sober up, ponder this: Flynn might be better than Brohm, that's not the reason I dismiss Brohm. After viewing all films, scouting his pro(2 pre-seasons) & college career, all the GMs in the NFL did nothing to get Brian Brohm on their 53 man roster last September. Any time a team is about to waive a guy with as a high a profile as Brohm (2008 2nd round QB), they don't just throw him out on the waiver wire, they try to trade him, and get something back, rather than lose him for nothing. Obviously, nobody was willing to give up ANY draft pick for the guy, and then all 31 other GMs let him sail through waivers without claiming him. It's not about Rodgers & Flynn ahead of him. It's aboutthe fact that any team could have had Brian Brohm for nothing other than a roster spot & passed. Now the real Brohm fanatics will continue with the BS about GB's crowded roster or that other teams were too set with guys like Printer,J. Palmer, Ratliff, Hoyer, Ainge, O'Connell, Shockley, Hanie, Daniel, Bomar, Null, and other more high profile losers with more experience, but the bottom line is that the other GMs thought more of keeping the no names I've listed instead of cutting any of these guys in order to get Brian Brohm on their roster. I didn't even list any guys picked in early rounds, like the 4th who could have been cut in favor of Brohm if that team though Brohm was half the player his fans around here think he is. The Jets kept 4 QBs including Erik Ainge & Kevin O'Connell and slept soundly letting Brohm sail by them on waivers. Face it, it wasn't just GB letting him go for nothing, teams around the league saw such a flawed player nobody in the league thought he was worth a simple waiver claim. That's reality. Pretty sobering stuff. Maybe more of the Brohm fans need to stay away from the brewskies when they watch him play & then they could see why all the GMs and their pro/college scouts thought he was trash when GB waived him.

It's a subscription from the NFL (NFL.com). If you didn't buy it, you'll have to rely on one of the pirates on the internet. I don't know if they do HD, since this is my 1st season with a new computer & the old one couldn't get much-it would freeze up at the 3000 bits needed for the best picture & would only get 400-800 bits. I'm sure someone will provide a link to one of the free broadcast sites the day of the game, I just couldn't take the constant shut downs & just bought the legit package for preseason.

I gave my ticket away but I'll still be able to watch it live at home. I'll watch it on the NFL broadcast. Now some may think I was crazy to pay almost $40 to watch the preseason on the internet, but I think it's worth it. I'll have a HD broadcast on my computer.

But, but but... It takes YEARS to figure out that a QB does or doesn't have it. HE JUST NEEDS MORE TIME! Look at the "mistake" that GB made deciding Brian Brohm wasn't good enough. Look at the "mistake" the Bills made not giving JP Losman more time-he's "haunting" us in Seattle as we speak! We must get McCoy, he has to be better than what we have! He hasn't busted in a Bills uniform, has he? Seriously, clubs CAN evaluate a QB early in his career. That's one reason I'm convinced that Brian Brohm is total trash & will never do anything in the NFL. Just because he isn't named Trent or Ryan, Bills fans give him a lot more credit than he deserves. I just re-watched the Bills-Indy game last night & my conclusion is Brohm is a worse version of Trent Edwards. He was throwing short passes & while Edwards was able to hit the long throw to Evans, any time Brohm tries to throw a longer pass, it doesn't get to the receiver. He's totally inaccurate and doesn't have the arm his fans think he has.

I've been retired for a week now & I don't have any plans to move out of the suburbs of Albany. I'm 4-5 hours from Buffalo & less than 3 hours from NY. On opening weekend I'm doing a doubleheader-Bills game on Sunday, going home immediately after the game, then a bus trip to the Meadowlands for the Ravens @ Jets MNF Jets' opening of the new stadium. I like the location being within a day drive of NYC, Boston, Montreal, Buffalo etc, without the headaches of the big cities. If I move anywhere, it would probably be to WNY because I could sell my house & buy a comparable house for 60-70% of what my house is worth here. The decision would be financial, but for now I have enough $ that I don't need to move.

He also had the 1st pick with the Jets & traded down for more picks. So 3 of the 4 teams he went to after establishing himself with the Giants (can't count his Giants stint since he was a rookie head coach with a strong GM making the picks) he went to with the #1 pick. Bill Polian did the same thing in his last 2 jobs having the 1st pick with Carolina (traded down on that one) and going to Indy when Peyton Manning was there at #1.

Using a high pick to draft a QB who would only play in wildcat formations when they already had RBs familiar with quarterbacking the wildcat was pretty dumb.
