I really do think NE's time is just about out. Their LBS are slow. The gap in talent wise between NE & the rest of the division is closing. I really think the bills have the foundation in place to make a run at them next year. Unfortunately with Brady as qb & Billy boy as the HC, they will always be in contention year in & year out. I think bak to the yankees & their runs in the late 90's, I thought noone would ever beat them. Then they lost some key players & now they are fighting to regain that chemistry. Remember, once you loose the chemistry & magic, it is very difficult to get it back. Noone fears playing the bombers in the playoffs anymore. Amazing stat, Caldwell caught 11 passes ALL YEAR, in 2 playoff games he has caught 21!! Kinda reminds me like Brosious hitting 218 the year before coming to the yanks & then batting like 300.

I think Marty Ball is now just making stupid decisions when the game is on the line. It was almost like we was saying Im not going to be conservative no matter what the situation dictates.

You know it is funny, as the game went on I started to actually root for the patriots. There is something you have to respect about Brady, he just kept getting up & fighting. I still hate NE but Im actually glad they won. The Chargers act got old on me this year. They have acted all season like they are the next dynasty, but they have not won a dam thing yet. I said all along that Marty Ball is going to cost them in the end. They were cocky when they came here, had nothing nice to say about the bills, who actually should of beat them if it wasnt for the refs. If Merriroid wants to show up his opponent every time he gets a sack, expect a little of it back when you loose & basically are a non factor the whole game. I dont like Merrimen, I dont like AJ Smith, I dont like that idiot Shittenheimer & I dont like Rivers. Win something first, then you could start acting cocky. LT is a class act, just frustrated. He is still the best player in the league hands down.

I would think after next year would be the year to do it with JP. Evans I wouldnt mind extending right now, the guy is a superstar.

Of course, anyone would of. But at least be honest with Wilson & not go about in deceitfull manner like he did.

Whatever, all I know is that Butler left the bills in alot worse shape then when he took over as GM. Everybody seems to give the guy a pass on this because he is no longer alive.

Why does he have to resign JP & Lee. Losman has 2 yrs left on his contract & Evans has three.

A lot of these points are flat out wrong. Wilson was even on record saying money never came up because John refused to sit down & talk to him. It was reported that Wilson was going to be willing to nearly double his salary. He never got the chance. Butler had his mind made up a long time ago. He left the team in cap hell & was JUST AS MUCH RESPONSIBLE for this decade of bad football as Donahoe was IMO. In fact the decline of the bills could be first attributed to 2 things. The Rob Johnson trade(in which we could of drafted Fred Taylor) & Butlers last draft. Just because the guy has died doesnt mean we have to enshrine him into the Pro Football Hall of Fame for GMS. Polian built the Super Bowl Teams. In the world of football, Butler was a decent scout, nothing more, nothing less.

Oh it is true, Smith is a bulldog. Anything short of a super bowl appearance this year & one of them is out. My guess it is Schotzy. Not to stomp on a man's grave or anything, but Ive always had a bad taste in my mouth about butler & how he deceived the bills. This is just my theory, but I think he knew he was leaving for SD a year before he left. His last draft will go down as one of the worst in team history, he kept putting wilson off about a contract extension & I know AJ has been on record saying a few unflaterring comments about Wilson. I got a little advice for AJ Smith & actually the whole Charger organization, you have not won a god dam thing yet. Keep your mouth shut until you do. It rubbed me the wrong way when the bolts came here in december. How Rivers said we should of beat them by 30 points. If you go onto the chargers message board they are talking like they are going to kill the pats this week. I know it is sacreligeous to say this, but Im almost pulling for the patriots this week. Im tired of hearing about how good the chargers are.

What the !@#$ is a turkey mole?

That is stupid to say with our cap situation there is no excuse not to sign him. If he doesnt want to play for us that is that. & if you think Wilson has the pockets to outspend Danny Boy in DC your nuts. The time to get Clements done was before the season started. Unfortunately, he had such a crappy 2005, I dont blame Levy for not throwing $14 mill bonus at him over the summer. It is going to take at least 18 mill in upfront money now. Im sorry, but I have a tough time giving the playmaker that kind of loot. BTW, if you do give Clements that kind of money, you realize that is it for FA for the bills this offseason. Wilson wont have anymore money no matter what the bills cap situation is.

I heard on the GR this morning that it is being reported that Miami will be playing their home game in Europe. What is interesting is it said that the bills & the giants are the 2 finalists for the road game. I cant believe it will be the bills though. To schedule a division game at a neutral site is kinda crazy.

Come on, Ginn is much more then a kick returner. I dont know how you would possibly contain him & evans. We would have the best 1/2 combo in the league. With that being said, I think I would rather take Jarret if he is there due to his size.

Ah, no problem, we fat guys got to stick together.

screw you, you self righteous piece of sh--.

The fumble occured at the 16 yard line & they drove 75 yards to get there. Im pretty sure they would of at least kicked a fg. I will give you hunt had his way for most of the afternoon, but that one play changed the whole complexion of the ballgame.

I obviously stand corrected. Thank you for such an intelligent argument. Because of the way you laid your post out with facts & common sense I have finally seen the errors of my ways.

I would rather play KC then Denver, however I would much rather play Jacksonville then Tenn. I think both Tenn & Denver are going to be teams to be reckoned with next year while I really think KC & Jacksonville are going to take a step back.

Your memory is going, the jets won that game because of the costly turnovers the bills handed them. Pennington had nothing to do with that win.

Arkansas dominated Wisconsin. I think they rushed for over 300 yard & outgained them I think something like 400 yrds to 154. I have no idea how Wisconsin pulled off the win. If you watched the PSU/Tenn game it was 10-10 & tenn was driving for the go ahead score late in the 4th qrter when the rb for tenn fumbled the ball @ the penn st 10 yrd & they returned it for a td. If that doesnt happen Im pretty sureTenn goes onto winning that game. As for the other bowls, lets see, Texas tech beat Minnesota, Texas beat Iowa, USC beat Michigan, Maryland beat Purdue. The big 10 was very close of being 0-7 in the bowl games. You obviously have no clue what you are talking about when it comes to college football. If Florida played Ohio State 10 times, my guess is the only way they would have a chance of losing is if they played in Columbus. Too much team speed.

LSU would of knocked the tar out of the buckeyes also. I didnt have a rooting interest for either team, but I got sick & tired of hearing how dominant the Buckeyes are. It is quite clear from the bowl results that the big 10 from top to bottom was vastly overrated as usual. Interesting fact, 6 out of the last 7 BCS Championship games, the underdog(as far as vegas lines) has won. Buckeye nation should think about that first before they start shooting their mouths off a month before the game is actually played.

The one thing that does concern me about Mcgargo, is that I have read on this board from a few NC St alums or students & they have all said without exception that Mcgargo is probably not going to be the answer. We will have to see though. It generally takes DTs 2-3 yrs to get acclimated to the nfl.

It matters how much money.

Your a moron if you dont understand the logic suggesting the afc is better then the nfc. AFC won 72% of their games against the NFC making them the better conference.

Fletcher has been overrated since he got here. Decent in pass coverage(although taller wideout would take advantage of him) but was a liability against the run. Watch Urhlacher this weekend, that is the type of guy you need. Trouble is there are not many guys like that out there. Im hearing alot of good things about this Thomas from Baltimore, I know he plays outside but one has to assume that is because they have Ray Lewis. I wouldnt be opposed to bringing Fletcher back as a last alternative, problem with that thinking is he will be long off the market by the time the bills are ready to negotiate. A nice stud DT would be an instant upgrade to the run defense. I would rather get that thru FA.
