So Jason Peters is officially a Philadelphia Eagle. Relax people. Peters was an un-drafted tight end prospect brought into the organization whom the Bill's nurtured and groomed to be a pro bowl left tackle. Peters didn't want to be here or else he would have honored is current contract. Peters has not exactly warmed himself to this town and community and over the past two years his play has been just above average at best. Basically the Bills received a late first and fourth round pick for a un-drafted player. Just because the Bill's have another hole to fill doesn't mean they are going to a hell in a bucket. The Bills have to use this opportunity to draft astutely and fill their biggest areas of need. If I were the Bills I would use the extra picks and position myself to draft Eugene Monroe, stay at eleven and draft Aaron Maybin or trade down and select either B. Pettigrew or M. Oher and fill out our other areas of need later in the draft.[/font]

Bless you exactly what I was thinking, read my post today!

To summarize the season thus far the Bill's are posers. There is plenty wrong with this team to name all at once but let me run by a few. The bills can't maintain a running game to keep the lead, wear down opposing defenses and gain momentum. Instead, the Bill's are forced to rely on the arm of young, inexperience qb who doesn't have the experience and moxy at this point in his short career to always pull out the come from behind win. This team is never going to qualify for a playoff game let alone win one without a consistent strong running attack. The defense. The defense time and time again has allowed opposing team's offense to march down the field during critical moments in the game and score. Where are the quarterback sacks, and key hits late in the game that cause turnovers. For God sake someone please call the cops and report a missing person because Marcus Stroud has been missing in action since week two. The Coaches. Why in the hell didn't Dick Jauron have that fourth down play reviewed. But he has the gall to review a play that was clearly a catch, Give me a break. Perry Fewell. This cover two bull crap has to go. There is no imagination in our game plans, no pressure on opposing quaterbacks and no defensive team identity. I think there has to be strong consideration by management to upgrade the defensive coaching position in the off season. I will continue to watch and route for the Bill's this season and hope they do well but I expect this team to just barely miss the playoffs this year. I am tired off having to wait for another off season and another draft before this team is playoff ready but I am also tired of the cold winters around here but get used to them :angry

I love Lynch as much as the next Bills fan but he is accountable for his actions. If Lynch broke the law he should be a man and admit it and face the consequences. To many athletes today think they are above the law and get away with trouble most everyday Joes have to deal with. Sweeping the Lynch controversy under the rug is ignorant and inexcusable and a slap in the face to every ordinary citizen.[

I hope he is a better player than Larry Fine.

'The Bills' secondary took a big hit when Nate Clements departed a year ago. McKelvin is extremely athletic with great feet and burst and should be able to lock down the big receivers that play in the AFC East the way he did Calvin Johnson earlier in his career. Questions about his intelligence should not be an issue in a very simple defense and when his dynamic return ability is considered, he could bring tremendous value at this spot.' Profootball weekly

After listening to Shoop and the Bulldog on WGR discussing the Bill's and Dolphin's game in Toronto and listening to caller feedback, I have a take on the issue. My take and what is bothering me about the deal is that it is a regular season game. I don't mind exhibition games being played outside of the home team stadium. Two, I don't see other small market clubs that are in the same financial situation struggling with the 60 -40 percent revenue sharing split with the players making similar deals with neighboring big market states and Canada. I don't see teams like Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati brokering deals with bigger market cities in the US and Canada. I know the location of Buffalo/Toronto is unique. Buffalo does support the Bills with ticket revenue and merchandise. Most home games are sellouts despite the recent record and performance of the team the past decade. I don't believe the small market criticism that Ralph Wilson made is any different than the other twelve or so teams facing similar challenges. I just don't see a reason other than financial windfall for this move with Toronto. If the argument Ralph Wilson made about how Buffalo can't compete economically in today's NFL, all the other twelve small market teams would all end up folding and the NFL would become a league of the haves and I don't see that happening any time soon. As much as Dallas, New York, Washington, Seattle are economical superior to teams like Buffalo they need small market teams to keep the league whole. I think Ralph Wilson brokered this deal with Toronto to make a financial windfall and to grease his pockets. I think he uses the small market excuse to gain leverage with the bigger market teams and to scare the city of Buffalo into meeting his every demand. I don't believe the Bills will be leaving the city without a fight and a say from prominent people of standing in Buffalo. I think the commissioner of football would get involved and local politicians and celebrity players like Jim Kelly, Joe D, Thurman Thomas and would use their influence and leverage to keep Buffalo in town. The day may come when Buffalo may leave town but when that happens I think the NFL as we know it today will be vastly different league and landscape.

I think you need to get one of those jump to conclusion matts that the character Tom Symkowski (Richard Riehle) invented in the movie office space. See below. "It was a "Jump to Conclusions" mat. You see, it would be this mat that you would put on the floor... and would have different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO".
