Watching the Fox pregame show and Jay Glazer said that the Saints would have offered a 3rd rounder for Lynch, but the Bills never followed-up.  Can anyone confirm this?  If so, that would certainly be a black eye to the Nix / Gailey administration.  Also doesn't help the Bills reputation among the league:  the Fox sports anchor, after hearing the report, joked "...and that's why the Bills are still the Bills".

If I can find a link anywhere online I'll post it in the FanShots section.

So, I'm treading water in my Fantasy League, but I am sorely lacking at wide receiver. How bad, you ask?  Well, I'm considering picking one of the Bills' WRs off the waiver wire this week.  Yeah, that bad.

Surprisingly (sarcasm), both Lee and Steve are available.  They have a good matchup against Jacksonville.  Evans is the supposed #1 WR on the team, but Fitz seems to have found a groove with Johnson.  If you had to pick (and for your sake, I hope you don't), who would you start?

So, I found myself wondering something as I caught up on some SportsCenter highlights this morning.  Specifically, I am referring to the clip where Haynesworth lands on Brady's shoulder, which led to Brady sitting out the rest of the game and the typically tight-lipped Belichick saying little about Brady's "shoulder soreness".

Obviously, I do not wish injury upon any player, but any honest Bills' fan will admit that this would help the Bills' chances considerably.  But then, a second thought immediately followed: given our history against the Pats, and given our less-than-stellar preseason performance so far, even without Brady, a Bills win on opening night is by no means guaranteed.  Hence, my poll question...

First of all, even this is my first FanPost, I have been a daily reader of Buffalo Rumblings since Panda-watch, and I can't begin to tell you how great you guys are.  I agree with the "Brian for President" thread, and Brian, you should know that you consistently put the sports writing here in NYC to shame.  The fact that you're a "Lost" fan only adds to your legend.

So my question--and forgive me if it's been discussed elsewhere--is this:  has there ever been a situation like ours, where we will probably man all five O-line positions with different players than the previous season, that has had success its first year?

I know that Pittsburgh had a lot of turnover in their O-line the past few seasons, and obviously they won the Super Bowl last year, but if I remember correctly, their O-line was a concern all last season, and so they won basically despite their O-line, not because of it.  I'm not sure if we have that same luxury.

Thanks in advance for any insight you guys can provide.
