the dude is probably the best pure athlete on this team next to Spiller and maybe Johnson. Unfortunately he ain't that smart. He just needs to be slapped upside the head a few times. Just have Kyle Williams or Troup sit on him every time he loses the ball. He'll be fine. C

Kyle "Sweeney Todd" Williams - The Butcher of Buffalo.

Sure thing. Have gotten great viewing heads up from other folks here before. Happy to return favor.

yeah, me too. But you know small market teams with the exception of GB always get shafted.

For those that didn't get to watch the game Sunday. And for those that get the NFL Network. Game on 9:15 tomorrow night/Eastern. http://bit.ly/gGMJAg C

What he said Buffalo West. Mr. Weo is right on. I would also throw in therapy for good measure. Our organization has been dysfunctional for a decade. Mularkey quitting was the least of our problems. He could have stayed and been run out of town. Neither is/was solely of his making. C

Gordon Gee used to be my Boss. As in the ultimate chief. Let's just say he marches to the beat of his own drummer. Nice fella. Very personable. But he restructured Vanderbilt Athletics so that there was no Athletic Director and now we have some academic dean type administrator running athletics. His ex-wife was also reprimanded for smoking pot in the Chancellor residence. So I wouldn't read too much into his quotes. C

Goes to show how much a decent QB makes everyone else on offense look better. Flutie kinda did the same thing when he took the reigns here in Buffalo. But i sure hope we draft Luck regardless. As much as I love Fitz, I'm not sure he's the long term answer. This way we have the luxury of sitting a rookie 1-2 yrs.

With you on this. I was never a big TO fan especially after his Philly and Dallas antics. But he really impressed me during his short time with the Bills. I think if we were a winning team with a solid QB he could have made a real home in Buffalo. Small town kid comes back to small town to finish out his career kinda thing. Would have been a great story. The timing just wasn't right. I wish him all the best. The guy cared about football, team and winning. C

Yeah, just like Jim Everett went after Jim Rome. Whose corner were you in then? C'mon, the guy stood up for himself. Kelly can be a tool sometimes. Just because I love the team and him for all the great memories of the 90s, doesn't mean I can't be objective about his behavior.

Or it could just be a hammy pull...

Very cool.

I think even if he leaves, we get a compensatory pick. This move makes total sense even if it doesn't pay dividends on the field. He comes cheap and is a low risk/high reward play. You can bet the bean counters at OBD crunched all the numbers to make it financially reasonable. C

LOL. If this guy is 50-75% of the player he once was, I think the other guys suddenly become better. I'm hoping he is the second coming of Bryce Paup - juiced or not. C

Exactly we've had little or no production at LB - this guy with his "lack of production" over the past 2 seasons has more production than anyone else in that corp. With the exception of maybe Poz. And even that is debatable. At worse, we get another LB who can't play because he is hurt. BFD...he can take a number. C

As I was saying

Look if this FO and i'm talking Buddy in this, goes out and signs walking stiffs like Cornell Green to a contract and then JP Foschi, why not take a chance on someone like Merriman? I don't get it. This is mid season and we're not on the hook for his entire salary because he wasn't on our roster the first week of the season. If I'm wrong, someone let me know. If he sucks and then we cut him, I don't think we accelerate the rest of his contract. That bit was already taken care of by his time in SD, correct? So if the above is true, WTH do we not sign the guy and see what he can do? Color me unimpressed with the present FO admin. I like our coach. He's got something. The players play their asses off for him. But Buddy is trying to old school it in the new NFL. I call BS. C

Ah a contrarian I see ;-) Yeah, right? I think history will say he is one of the best WRs to play the game. He obviously is emotionally damaged and hopefully that part of his life will get straightened out. The "acting out" that has come out of that stuff will keep him from ever being fully accepted & appreciated. But I can't find anything wrong with him as a professional. He stays out of legal trouble. Seems to be a good citizen and can be very charming. He also works his a** off. He is an incredibly insecure human being. But I'm rooting for the guy. C

I wasn't a big TO fan. I also don't think we needed to resign him. All that being said, I thought he was a total pro when he was in Buffalo and he was sincere in wanting to come in and contribute. He seemed humble and frankly just positive about his whole stay here. He obviously taught Stevie Johnson some things. He didn't B word about stuff and I really, really appreciated it when he went off on the sidelines at the Titans game. I was there. The guy was passionate and wanted to win. He seemed to know a good QB in Fitz when he saw one. Something that our coaching staff didn't get. All in all I was glad he played in Buffalo and am fine with him being gone. I wish him nothing but the best. Charles

Belichik School of Press Conferences.

DJ is on record as saying they needed a Cover Two safety in order to make the system work. So they reached for a pick for the system. I don't think the philosophy was that of the best athlete available. The irony of course is that Ngata would have made everything work on D. He was a game changer and was even brought to Buffalo for an interview. His mom died before the draft and he became the sole breadwinner of the family. He was highly motivated to succeed. That was probably one of the worst misses in Bills draft history. Probably worst than not taking a QB like Cutler when he was sitting there. I don't hate Whitner. But he is a 3rd round pick at best in terms of production. C

I never trust anyone who says, "Trust Me." I immediately put my hand over my wallet.

Bill Parcells looks like he's looking for his next "project." I don't see our owner bringing him in. But if he makes overtures to Tuna, I just don't see Tuna's ego saying No.

Maybe so. But sure would be nice to give all these dribs, drabs & rumors legitimacy.
