Ask, and you shall receive: http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2011/3/23/2067266/lee-evans-chan-gailey-buffalo-bills Since Losman was let go and coincedently, after Evans signed his big contract extension, his numbers went down dramatically. Granted in 2009, there was a lot of turmoil on the team, so that can be excusable. But last year, all the young WR's outshined Evans. They busted their butts off and looked better than Evans did. So, if Evans can't improve on his underneath routes and become more productive, then he'll either be traded or cut the following year.

http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2011/5/9/2162356/what-can-we-expect-from-the-bills-2011-draft-class "Out of nine draft picks, only two actually started games (22%); six played in games (67%), two landed on IR (22%), and one player did not make the team (11%). Those nine players combined to play in 60 games out of a total combined 144 (42%). Injury affected playing time of three during the season (33%) Spiller, Carrington and Wang. By looking at those stats, it shows that the Bills 2010 draft class did not have much of an impact. (These stats do not include UDFAs)" By looking at those stats, without the stats from the UDFA, it looks like the 2010 draft class didn't have any impact whatsoever. It looks like the UDFA's had the most impact. "David Nelson: 15GP, 3 GS, 31 rec, 353 yds, 11.4 YPA and 3TDs. Antonio Coleman: 8GP, 12T (7T, 5A) Donald Jones: 15GP, 5GS, 18rec, 213 yds, 11.8 YPA and 1 TD. Naaman Roosevelt: 6GP, 1 GS, 9 rec, 139 yds, 15.4 YPA, 0TD. "With those four UDFAs, heres what the stats would like: Players that started in games: Five (38%); Players that played in games: Nine (69%); Games played 104 out of 208 (50%)." "Does this mean that the 2011 draft class will experience the same numbers as the 2010 draft class? No, every year is different. But this year presents a different problem. With the NFL and the former NFLPA battling it out for a new CBA and with the current lock out going on, this affects all non-playoff teams that rely on the draft picks to make an impact. With the rookies not being able to attend any rookie camps, OTAs, mini-camp and training camp, this severely hampers the development of all Bills rookies." This could be a very big problem for the Bills if the NFL & the players don't get their act together and get a new agreement worked out.

Good post. But I think Parrish stays, just as long as he remains healthy. Parrish had his best season under Gailey last year and was more productive than Evans (until he got hurt). I agree about Evans. Evans gets this season (if there is one) to show Gailey & Co that he can improve on his route running (which Gailey publicly criticized him for) and to show that he can be more productive. If not, Evans will either be traded or cut loose. For those that disagree with this, look at the rookie WR's last year, they busted their butts off and had more of an impact on the team than Evans did. Evans has been in the league for 8 years now, he should know how to run routes, there's no excuse you can use for Evans' poor route running.

While football (the NFL) is my favorite sport to watch, especially watching the Bills, I would hate to see the NFL come to an end, but if it happens, life goes on. I'll save a few hundred bucks a year from the NFL Sunday ticket. Now that the Sabres have an owner, who is very committed to winning a championship, I'll get the NHL package and watch the Sabres all season long. IMO, neither side of this dispute is right, they're all a bunch of greedy bastards. The NFL is at the height of it's popularity and especially in financial terms. Millions of fans like us on TBD love the NFL, but if both sides are going fight tooth and nail over every last penny, then f@ck them all. Both sides are ultimately screwing us, the fans, so if they can't make a deal and this straightened out, the hell with all of them!!! I'll take my money that I spend on the NFL Sunday ticket, and NFL merchandise, and spend it elsewhere.

Buddy Nix: Boss Hogg Chan Gailey: Cooter

I agree about Florence. I think he's a key player and the Bills secondary would be better with him than without. With Whitner, would somebody give him a straw...so he can SUCK IT UP!!! For a guy that's supposedly a leader on the defense, he's acting like a whiny little brat. I agree with the quote on McKelvin, he needs to play better consistently. If not, I doubt the Bills will give him a contract extension (whenever his contract is up).

http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2011/5/2/2149703/current-bills-roster-for-the-2011-season "John McCargo (DE), Keith Ellison (ILB) and Ashton Youboty (CB) are also in a similar situation with Poz & Whitner, but were not given restricted offers. So it looks like McCargo, Youboty and Ellison have played their last games in a Bills uniform. McCargo never lived up to his 1st round draft status, while Ellison and Youboty proved to be as fragile as a carton of eggs. Both Ellison and Youboty could never stay healthy enough to be major contributors on the Bills defense." That is so true!! Good article, it breaks down every position and who's battling who to be the starter.

Dareus a B+ ?! What the hell are they smoking? The best D-lineman in the draft gets a B+ ? Who would they have given an A to at that point?

I'd be surprised to see Maybin on the Bills come week 1. I expect to see Moats get a rotation opposite of Merriman.

I completely agree. I'm so glad that Nix & Gailey are doing more to remove the team from the weak, Tampon 2 defense to a much bigger, physical 3-4 defense. The only thing the Tampon 2 was good for, was a good secondary, the run defense and pass rush sucked big time. I think this draft really shored up the defense.

Finally, the Bills didn't screw up their first round pick. Thank you Carolina, Denver, Buddy Nix, Chan Gailey and Wannstedt!! Great pick, I can't wait to see Dareus on the field with Kyle Williams!

Mallet is a Wigga? Does he look like this:

Coach of the all criminal team would be Barry Switzer: http://www.nytimes.com/1997/08/05/sports/switzer-arrested-on-gun-charge.html

http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2011/3/23/2067266/lee-evans-chan-gailey-buffalo-bills According to Allen Wilson of The Buffalo News, Gailey came right out and said that Evans needs to become more consistent as a route-runner. That's rather harsh commentary for a receiver entering his eighth professional season. Gailey is also concerned about broadening Evans' horizons within his offense. "He's been more of a deep threat," Gailey said Tuesday. "I've got to get him to do a better job of becoming an underneath threat. I've got to do a better job of that." So, what's the excuse for Evans now? The Head Coach is now calling him out!

Then explain the findings of the civil suit brought against O.J.? Also on Mike Ox's point of Celebrity status, my ex-girlfriend's cousin was 15 years old at the time when she had conseual sex with her next door neighbor (who was in his late 30's at the time), the only reason anyone found out they had sex got pregnant. Do you think that guy got probation....NO!!!! His ass went to jail for statutory rape (even though it was consenual). And what's the difference between that guy and Lawerence Taylor.....?

I agree, he got off way too easy. L.T. has the money, if he really needed to get laid that bad, fly out to Nevada to the Mustang Ranch and do it legally and not with an illegal teenage prostitute. Another dumb ass football player doing something completely stupid. "Numba 72....AH **** 27!!"

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81ee2bc3/article/exgiant-taylor-gets-six-years-probation-sexoffender-status?module=HP_headlines Thought for sure he was going to jail on this one. But having the sex-offender status is pretty bad.

What Peterson needs to do, is go down to his local grocery store, buy a box of straws, take one and SUCK IT UP!!!!! My grandparents were teenagers when the Nazi's invaded Poland. They were taken from Poland, moved to Germany and were forced to do slave labor until Germany was liberated by the Allies. My grandparents weren't paid millions of dollars, in fact, weren't paid anything at all, so this motherf@!ker needs to STFU with his slavery bullsh@t!!!

I always liked Marcus Stroud and wish him the best. Stroud's better years are behind him though, so it's time to find better players to replace him and a bunch of others on this team.

I agree with this 100% I've always felt Ralph was a meddling owner. I'd just wish Ralph would put in a succession plan already and name a new owner or sell the team to an owner that is serious about winning a championship.

Whether the team wins by 1 point or 100, the result is still the same. Ralph got greedy and saw that Johnson had a great game against the Colts in the last game of the year (see the coming off the bench comment), plus Ralph gave Johnson a $25 million dollar contract, gave up a 1st round (plus a couple of other picks to the Jags) for Johnson, so Ralph wanted him in there. The 2000 Ravens won the Superbowl with Trent 'freakin' Dilfer, a career backup that bounced around the league more times than Pam Anderson bounced around guys. I looked back at your damn posts and saw you only talked about Pegula's money in Page 1, Page 2 was nothing but the Titans game. Guess you're more concerned about past miseries than possible future championships?

Johnson sucked for 58 minutes of the game and played good for 1 drive of the game. You're right, the O-line was terrible, which is why Flutie worked better behind it. Johnson built a career of coming off the bench and playing great for 1 game, he could never play great for 2 games in a row. If Ralph really wanted to switch QB's, he should have done it midway through the season, not at the very end. It was the wrong move at the wrong time and it cost the team (see Eric Moulds & Wade Phillips comments), as the O-line had numerous false start penalties in the first half of that game and ultimately Robosack got sacked in the endzone for a safety. Anyways, this thread is suppose to be about Terry Pegula, a potential owner that has talked about bringing championships to Buffalo, not crying and being all technical over the Music City Debacle game. I think after all the years of heartbreaks of getting close, getting screwed by: refs, bad calls, bad decisions, etc, then years of bad teams, us Buffalo fans deserve a major championship...do you agree? Or are you gonna go back and talk some more about the damn Titans game?

I remember that, when the receiver from the Pats caught it out of bounds short of the 1st down marker. Then the BS pass interference call on a hail mary at the end of the game. You know who the refs wanted to win that one...

A professor from RIT proved it was a forward pass, plus Wilson should have never put in Johnson over Flutie (even Wade Phillips said on the NFL network's Top 10 QB's controveries: "In hindsight, Doug would have won us the game"). It's great that Buffalo's minor teams have won championships before, but we really need major championships from the NHL and the NFL. Like I said before, after the 4 SB losses, The No Goal, the Flutie-Johnson controversy/Forward Lateral/Music City Debacle, and 11 years of the Bills missing the playoffs, we really need a major championship.
