ummm.If your talking about Shawn. I dont see where anyone said he wasnt getting sacks. And actually he has 2 under his belt. He has been hampered by a sore shoulder all year. We all seen this coming. We need to win and go into the bye with time to get healthy!

I am almost positive bell is out! If we can get through this week with a W we are going to heal up during the bye! Man we need this game! Go Cowboys as well! And man I hate to say it go FISH! Yuck that tastes like **** having that come out of my vocal cords!

I know we seen this coming as merriman wasnt playing great, like in the preseason. Chris brown says he was held out of practice. This is what he said! Here’s an update on a couple of starting linebackers for the Bills. Shawne Merriman is not practicing here on Friday. He was limited Thursday with an Achilles problem. Nick Barnett who re-aggravted an ankle injury in Thursday’s practice is participating in today’s practice. We’ll have an update on his level of participation after practice. All along Shawne Merriman had been dealing with a nagging shoulder ailment that forced him to miss a practice here or there the past few weeks, but his injury situation changed and not in a good way Thursday. Now he’s unlikely to be available for the Bills when they face the Giants Sunday at MetLife Stadium. Merriman missed practice Wednesday due to his nagging shoulder ailment, but practiced Thursday. Unfortunately his old Achilles injury cropped up on him. "(It) just flared up," said Merriman. "It’s one of those things we kinda knew before the season that it was going to happen at some point in time. Just have to to kind of take control of it and find out where to go from here. I’m not 100 percent (sure) what’s going to happen just yet. We haven’t talked about it. Nothing serious fortunately, just something I have to maintain and take care of." “All along it had been his shoulder and all of a sudden that thing started acting up yesterday," said Merriman. "He’s doubtful. I don’t know if he’s going to make it or not.” The veteran pass rusher was brought along very methodically through the training camp setting and his snaps were closely monitored in the preseason as he appeared only in the preseason opener and preseason finale heading into the regular season. Having such a long layoff from the week to week grind of regular season football the Bills chose to err on the side of caution to reduce the risk of re-injury as Merriman had dealt with calf and Achilles problems each of the past two years. With the Achilles resurfacing as an issue it’s certainly not viewed as a positive development. At this point Gailey isn’t ready to label it a long term problem. “I don’t know yet,” Gailey said. “We’ve got the bye week after this and we’ll see what happens On a better note! The Giants will be without the services of three key starters on Sunday when they host the Bills. Head coach Tom Coughlin declared RB Brandon Jacobs (knee), DL Justin Tuck (groin) and G Chris Snee (concussion) out for Sunday’s game. All three of them had failed to practice the entire week so the decision came as no surprise. On New York’s defensive line, Jason Pierre-Paul will start in place of Tuck at LDE and the Giants haven’t lost much. Pierre-Paul leads the team in sacks with 6.5 and has 11.5 in his last 11 games. At running back D.J. Ware will complement starter Ahmad Bradshaw. Taking the 265-pound Jacobs out of the mix is good news for the Bills knowing their two starters at outside linebacker are both unlikely to play with Chris Kelsay out and Shawne Merriman doubtful. That means Arthur Moats and fellow second-year man Danny Batten are likely to start and both weigh less than Jacobs. On New York’s offensive line Snee will be replaced by Kevin Boothe, unless David Baas is unable to go at center. Baas (neck) is listed as questionable and has been limited in practice all week. If for some reason Baas can’t play, Boothe would step in at center and Jim Cordle would step in at guard. Cordle is also the team’s backup long snapper as starting long snapper Zak DeOssie is questionable after suffering a concussion. Starting FB Henry Hynoski is also out for Sunday’s game with a concussion. All info from bb.com

Dude, point blank. Ralph hasnt made decisions in a long time. Hes 93 fu**ing years old. He is a great individual, and if not for him then there would be no kc chiefs or raiders. He borrowed them money days before they went belly up to help the afl. And everyone calls him cheap. He isint what he used to be, for christ sakes who is at 93. God bless the Ralph!

friday....6pm

I know and everyone talking on this thread knows that Friday is the start of FA Signings. The article on Buddy's statement is what the thread is about. The stance that he says they are taking to stay away from big splashes is almost as dumb as your post. yea...i understand the post as well...and everyone here does know when free agency begins..this post has to do with what our gm is saying before a tightly packed, race to sign free agents when other teams mouths are salavating at the chance to get upgrades at positions...and our gm comes out and says...just to let you know were not signing sh**...i get the op and i agree with it!

1. either he is bluffing (which nix likes to do) and he is looking at some huge fa's...or 2. he is telling the truth and taking our 40 mil in cap space (that we have to spend 90 percent of) to sign poz and florence and fitzy..now thats not the huge problem...the problem is you upgrade by the fa period...new england does it all the time...i hate that he is saying this...and to spend 40 mil on players that are underperforming with the talents around them allready...head scratcher

ive seen the bills all over...on a monday night game in indy (actually a great game, bills lost) after the game im all in my bills gear and i see a group of colts fans wipeing their feet on a bills jersey. i went over there and knocked their grill over while my friends got the car ready. grabbed the bills jersey..knocked the poker table over that had their beers and dip on it. all over them and took off got into the car and got away...i still have that jersey and it hangs proudly in my rafters...it was a old kelly jersey all beat up...i left it dirty and get dirty looks from my woman every day that she see it...but still pretty funny

I totally disagree with you on this one..the man had no help at all last year... besides big kyle..and he still was (correct me if im wrong) in the top 7 in the league in tackles...if he had more help and better players which he has now...you dont see him helping out the d..i love poz, and disagree with him were much better...without him i believe we are worse...

My link["]My link[/url] yes that is including the ones that we buy...game worn jerseys...the real game worn nfl jerseys are made in wisconsin...their web site is down but ill send you a link or two... My link[

the jerseys that we watch our players play in...are not made in china they are made in wisconsin..

im not worried what anyone spends their money on...ok does anyone know that this country is starting to lose social security, and my grandma and my mom and me and you will have nothing when the time comes..now if we as americans bought american and not some fake ripoff lookalike...i think things would be in a better financial state...i dont give two s**** what cheap, fake, jerseys you wear or buy...it is the fact that that hard earned money is leaving the country, just like the steel, the cars, the computer chips...it is the damn reason unemployment has hit the roof and in june only 11,ooo jobs were created...11 thousand, thats pathetic...one huge reason is the overseas marketing and buying....please dont tell me you dont agree with me...everyone knows im right about this...but of course you wont admit it....i put alot of money in the nfl...they have 9 billion dollars in tv revenue that they cant even decide on how to split it up...i am a season ticket holder for the bears..and still make bills games each year cause i love them, that doesnt mean i get the right to sellout my country...wtf....im not trying to start a pissing match but man there are people in this country that cant put food on the table and feed their kids...or even have a car, or afford gas...anyway at least the jerseys that our bills players wear are made in berlin wisconsin...so at least thats good...im not trying to bash anyone here and i know i said some strong things...but i hope you understand im not trying to make it personal...but i do have a great point and you all know that....
