If Crabtree is there, draft Raja or call up the Panthers and trade for Peppers.

Coffman has one of the best draft highlight videos of any TE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFWkDnjN4bk

Good find, so he actually had 3 years @ $20M left on his deal. I read somewhere that 2009 base salary was for $5.5M, can't recall where. If so, the last 2 years would have been for approx. $7M each. The $9M cap his was because of the $13M signing bonus that the Cowboys can't take over 4 years any longer.

If the Bills wanted TO so bad, why wouldn't they have just traded a 7th round pick for him? He had one year @ $5.5M left on his contract. This team lacks game changers and I would be happy to cheer on T.O. for a year or two or three. Plus think of all the extra money Ralph will make on popcorn sales.

Getting Holt would remind me a lot of when the Bills got James Lofton. Both were 7-time pro-bowlers with their original teams (Lofton for the Packers). I think Holt has one year at $6.5M left on his current contract.

Damn. We should have traded down and taken Stoney Case.

What seems right is an extension that pays Peters top 5 or 10 money with "guaranteed money" being tied to not holding out, etc. in future years. He's a good player (probowl alternate) and it would be great to have him here beyond 2-3 years. But if Peters' agent really demands a ripped up contract and top dollar, then the Bills should hold tight for two more years, perhaps a franchise year after that, and 3 years from now they can spend their $60M on whatever is needed at that time.

I know football is a team game and all, but it's because Evans was the 33rd rated receiver in the NFL last year based on yards. It would be great to have a top 20 to pair with Evans.

Appearantly he wasn't worth $4 million per season either, because that's about what was left on the remaining 5 years of his deal.

Yes, but maybe zero healthy quarterbacks.

I actually hope the Bills try to re-sign Dockery. By releasing him, the Bills will avoid paying him a $1.75 million roster bonus in the coming weeks. The cap hit for the amortized signing bonus is not relavent. It's all about cash-to-cap. Bill to release Dockery; possibly Royal http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/story/590928.html

Check out the depreciation on that house and other houses in that area over the last 2 years. Ouch. Link

25+ years as a Bills fan. Bills clinch playoffs against Jets (1988?), fans charge the field, rip down the goal posts.

The basic "fill gaps" approach has helped to improve our run defense some, but at the cost of a pass rush. And as adequate as our run defense has been overall, what's up with the 10 minute drives in the 4th quarter the last couple weeks??? When he was here, I found Dick LeBeau's 3-4 schemes overall more effective and much more interesting to watch too.

It's pretty simple. Hardy is watching the ball for the last 20 yards but fails to stop short and make a play on Trent's under-thrown ball. A great WR makes this catch often, inevitably followed by the announcers giving all sorts of accolades to the QB for the intentional "back shoulder" throw. Hardy may get there eventually, but as a rookie seems to lack some body control and adjustments necessary to make the QB look good. We'll need a little run now to keep this season on the successful track.

We lost last week mainly because of 2nd half turnovers and no game changing plays on defense or special teams. McGee is part of that, but some credit also goes to both lines, special teams, Royal and Trent. We'll forget all about last week with a big win against the Jets. I love that Morman is not topping our list of top positional players any longer. Go Bills!

Basically if anything except feet or hands touch the ground due to contact with a defender, you're down. Shin, elbow, head, knee (of course). Pretty sure ankle, forearm, and wrist count too. When I saw the Royal play, the first thing I thought was forward progress. I thought it was a mistake not to challenge, even though it might have ended up costing us a timeout. One of many mistakes by the team today. Hope Edwards is alright. Go Bills!

Taking aside games against the Bills, our opponents are each 1-1. So based on records alone, I'd say our opponents are average (with Jacksonville having the highest quality win against the Colts.) Go Bills!

In order for it to be a simultaneous catch, Evans needs to catch the ball. Since the ball popped loose when Evans went to the ground, he did not complete the catch. So it would have been incomplete. But the ball popped loose into the lap of the defender and the defender caught the ball before it touched the ground. Hence the interception.

Maybe "accidentally" sending that email was their negotiating tactic.

6' 4", 230, cannon arm, fake mustache. Yeah, that'll work.

Belichick had 5 seasons with the Browns and 1 winning record. Went 5-11 with Bledsoe in 2000 first season in New England. Fell to 0-2 in 2001. Enter Brady.

After watching all the highlight videos, I would be happy with either: Fred Davis in the 2nd Dustin Keller in the 3rd Oft injured Brad Cottam in the 4rd ... or combine Davis and Keller and take a risk with Kellen Davis (MICH ST) in the 4th.

This draft would be quite awesome. I think have a man-crush on one or two of these guys already. Not seriously ... but seriously. 1 DE Derrick Harvey - Fills a need, could also go CB. 2 WR James Hardy - 6-5, 4.5 speed, I'd take the chance. 3 TE Brad Cottam - 6-7, 270. Probably the best run-blocking TE. 4.69 pro-day speed about matches Fred Fred Davis's 4.68. 4 WR Paul Hubbard - 6-2, 4.4 speed. Maybe a WR#2 in 2010 after an Evans' franchise year. 4 FB Owen Schmitt - Fills a need or wait a round for Peyton Hillis. 5 OC Kory Lichtensteiger - I'd rather see OC Doug Legursky here, if he fell. rounds 6-7-7: shouldn't we pick a QB?

I don't recall anyone suggesting we draft a TE in the 1st round. I do like Brad Cottam in the 3rd. (6-7/270/4.68/36.5).
