Kelly the Dog Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Counting coaches, contracts, salary cap, everything. Right now, I think I would only take the Pats, The Steelers, and the The Eagles. There are surely better teams, the Colts for example, but I don't think I would take their entire roster and their future cap and defense and coaches for ours. Again, I am not saying the Bills are the fourth best team in football. I am saying we have a lot of young good players, we're in good cap shape over the long haul, I like our coaches, and we have a couple of stars in the making. Please list every team you would swap in total right now for ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajzepp Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I'd swap with the Birds, but not the Steelers......I think they have a Bledsoe-in-the-making at QB. I love this point you are making, because I think it speaks to the overall balance and star potential of our roster. The Colts fatal flaw is their D, even though it is improved. The Pats, even though obviously the best team in football, I just feel their roster is potentiated to a large degree by Belichick. But even though I respect the hell out of them, I don't want any more Pats players stepping foot into the Ralph unless it's as our opponents. Our roster and coaching staff are very strong. One day soon, it's all going to just click and we're going to be very happy with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Fischer Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Last year I would have taken the Pats but only if Belichek, Weis and Crennel were part of the deal. Now, I'm not so sure I'd take the current roster -- coaches or not. Pittsburgh - maybe, see if they can keep the team together. Philly - Maybe, now it seems like a two-game losing streak could make them unravel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been expecting them to unravel but they simply haven't. We'll see this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 TD's recent moves these past few weeks have me loving this roster. The only trade I'd make would be for the Pats, can't argue with 3 rings in 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 The Jets are another team that I'd put on the list of three mentioned but as a distant fourth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 There is a common trend with the Best Teams in the NFL. Not Defense, Not any position EXCEPT for the QB. We will be a good team with a good QB. Plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 There is a common trend with the Best Teams in the NFL. Not Defense, Not any position EXCEPT for the QB. WRONG! Defense wins championships. Without defense, the Pats win ZERO SB's with Tom Brady. And all you need to do is look at the winning QB's of SB teams since the turn of the century.

Please list every team you would swap in total right now for ours. 264278[/snapback] This is a really great post. I think a lot depends, of course, on JP Losman. If he busts, your list might grow to 10 teams very quickly, considering the investment we've made in him. What I really like about the Bills is their future cap situation, as you've mentioned. The roster? Well, you're right, there's some very nice young players on it, but there's also very little depth, and it'll take a couple years of good drafting to build that up. Besides Henry, our best reserve player last year was probably the maligned Ron Edwards, and he might now be a starter. Here's a question. If Henry gets traded and Edwards becomes a starter, who's the best non-starter on this team? It's a tough one to figure out due to our shallow roster.

brihs2005 Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Hate to say it, but i like the Colts and their roster with Edge on the team. I know there defense is terrible, but we will be in contention every year. Could you imagine on the cold winter days at the Ralph getting on your feet 6 or 7 (including field goals) times to sing the shout song. It would be exciting to watch them put up points.

The thing is, it doesn't look like they are going to keep Edge, which is part of the problem with the Colts. I also don't think they would be nearly as good playing in the Ralph, but seeing as though this is a hypothetical question and I am not really expecting TD to get on the horn with Nappy and say, hey, what about swapping our everyone for your everyone, we'll just have to agree to disagree. I am looking for the first TD basher to actually answer the question and list 22 teams he or she would rather have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justnzane Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I think this talk about trading our franchise for the Pasties is rediculous. They Pats have lost quite a few vital players from cap cuts and unfortunately a stroke. They lost their two top assistants and can only fall down before they get back up. San Diego, i think has a favorable situation as well as Minnesota kinda concerned if we had Tice or Marty tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachChuckDickerson Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Call me a homer but i wouldn't swap our guys for anybody. We have THE most exciting defense and special teams in the game. Young budding stars on offense, who can top that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Ne,Carolina and maybe philly and kc Ne- their defense is lights out especially in big games. Dillon can wear you down with the running game and Brady is Mr. Clutch Carolina- Julius F'n Peppers= the best de and maybe the best overall athlete in the entire nfl. Very few de's can change the flow of an entire game the way this guy can. Foreget Kearse Peppers is the real "Freak" On a whole I think they're the best team in the nfc and if not for all the injuries last year would've made the playoffs and the superbowl imho. Philly-Once again their defense. They may give up some yards but they don't allow you to score touchdowns and Their secondary is pretty good, Dawkins and Michael Lewis might be the best safety duo in the league (right now). Don't have much of a running game, TO is fun to watch and Mcnabbs pretty good too. Could do without freddie mitchell though Kc- If you're gonna trade for an entire roster that has offensive potential than I chose the team thats had a top redzone offense since 1998. The KC Chiefs. While their defense is worse than the colts. they did hand it to indy this past season. Priest holmes is out of this world.(I know I know it's the line) they got larry johnson who will give them a good 1-2 punch the best te in the game in tony gonzalez, a vastly underrated qb in Trent green and Vermeil>>>>>Dungy.

Who cares! For most teams you think are better than ours, I bet you would take their QB over our QB, but not their defense over our Defense. What does that tell you?

They man handle teams when it counts. If any teams fans should know that it's us and the colts, and for what it's worth GREAT Quaterbacks don't win superbowls. GREAT TEAMS DO.
