Our O-line is dwindling by the game.  Even DJ admitted they need to get someone to plug the holes.  L.J. Shelton or Runyan seem like the best options to me.  I have been wanting Runyan since the day they cut Walker.  I don't think Jonas Jennings is going to last more than a quarter without injury.  Who do you want the Bills to sign? 

On another note, I am finally starting to give up on Edwards.  I have been hoping he would break out and return to early '08 form.  Now I am starting to join the rest of you in thinking of starting over at QB.  How about drafting Bradford, Locker or McCoy while keeping Edwards for the next year or 2?

My all time favorite Bills - Steve Tasker, Joe Cribbs, Reggie McKenzie, Don Beebe and Bruce Smith.  There are so many to choose from, but these 5 stand out for me. 

Coaches Marv, Chuck Knox, Lou Saban, Joe Collier and Walt Corey.

Jairus Byrd is moving up my list!  His recent play, ties to the '80s through his dad and ties to my state of Oregon are making him my current favorite.  Brian Moorman, Lee Evans, Fred Jackson and Terrence McGee round out my current fave five.

5 least favorite - Rob Johnson, J.P. Losman, O.J. Simpson, Al Cowlings and Mike Williams.  

Least favorite Coaches - Dick Jauron, Hank Bullough, John Rauch, Gegg Williams and Wade Phillips.

1. Jeff Garcia.  He, like Doug Flutie, is a savvy vet who knows how to win.  If we want to actually make a run at the playoffs why not give him a shot?  Jauron should be in panic mode.  It seems like a foregone conclusion that if the Bills don't make the playoffs he is done.  At least I hope so! 

2. Tim Tebow.  Again, not the prototypical QB, but a winner and a leader.  Definitely wouldn't use a 1st or 2nd round pick on him, but if he falls to the 3rd, I would take a gamble on him.  Drew Brees is another example of a guy that wasn't the perfect specimen coming out of college, but is a smart, talented winner.  Doug Flutie or Rob Johnson should have taught us something.  I would want the Bills to take the best OL/LB available in rounds 1 and 2, but after that would not mind looking at QB.

3. Now that NBA season has begun, I am turning my thoughts to the Portland Trailblazers.  (I live in Oregon).  I'm predicting 57-25 and losing to Orlando in the Finals.  The Lakers may be the safe pick from the West, but I HATE the Lakers. 

After all but giving up on the season after the dismal loss to the Browns, yesterday's win against a good team has given me a small glimmer of hope.  Maybe the Jets will falter, the Dolphins won't get on track and the Patriots plane will crash.  Seriously though, I can now picture 8 -8 rather than the 5-11 I was thinking last week.

If......Leodis would've held on, we would be 3-3 and the Pats would be too.  If.....Roscoe would have been smart and the offense would've shown up vs. the Browns, we could be 4-2.  Those are a couple painful ifs, but it kind of helped me think we aren't that terrible.  Maybe we can still get back to semi-respectability.  However, I'm not sure if a so-so season is worth it if it means Jauron sticking around.  I'd rather fall flat and make sure he's gone than go 8-8 or 9-7 and have Ralph give him yet another chance.

I hate to give up this early, but a 38 -10 loss to the 0-3 Dolphins is a REALLY bad sign. Plus, they were playing without their starting QB and one of their best defensive players. Maybe 7 - 9 or worse will get Jauron fired finally. We need a lot to change, and I think it starts at the top.  I am usually the overly optimistic Bills fan, but this year just feels really bad.  Maybe they'll prove me wrong, but I highly doubt it.

Now I'm hoping for the Falcons, Vikings or Saints to play the Chargers in the Super Bowl.

Watching Vikings VS. Packers tonight with my brother who is a big Vikings fan. Should be interesting. If you haven't heard the Favre Sears radio commercial it's pretty funny. He can't decide which TV to buy, and makes fun of himself and his waffling.

I'm a Bills fan, so it's hard to do this - still remembering the Super Bowl beatdowns.  Anyway, see what you think.  Comments welcome.  If you have someone to add, who would they replace and why.  I do think McBriar is the best punter, but put White on there because of his flexibility.  O-line has definitely been a strong point for the Cowboys through the years.

Feel free to disagree, just give me a reason why you do.  DB was tough (see earlier post).  Some really good MLB/ILB choices but not so much with LB/OLB.  Any good OLB I missed?  Bryan Cox does not count in my book.  Being a Bills fan, he was enemy #1.  Just can't do it.  Officially, yes he belongs, but I personally can't include Mr. double middle fingers to the crowd.

Dolphins with Bills Ties (34): Ethan Albright, Jamie Nails, Ken Rice, Howard Kindig, Willie Young, Marcus Spriggs, Marlin Briscoe, Charlie Rogers, Bo Roberson, Ike Hill, Cookie Gilchrist, Billy Joe, Jim Braxton, Joe Auer, Thurman Thomas, Joe Cribbs, Sammy Morris, James Saxon, John Kidd, Frank Cornish, Jim Dunaway, Laverne Torczon, Karl Wilson, Tony Furjanic, Keith Newman, Corey Moore, Travares Tillman, Chris Green, Troy Vincent, Willie West, Ray Hill, Kiwaukee Thomas, Booth Lusteg, Carl Mauck

I am a Bills fan, but I am making all time teams for the other, lesser, NFL squads during the offseason.  Just kidding - jealous of the super bowl wins.  Almost done, but saved the biggest rival for last.

I am getting close to finishing my Dolphins team, but still a couple players over.  I need to cut 2 DBs, and I'm trying to decide between Glenn Blackwood, Louis Oliver and William Judson.  Any insight from you true Dophins fans would help. 

One other question.  Who do you think is the best tailback in Dolphins history?  Tony Nathan may be best all-around back, Mercury fastest, Ricky Williams best power back (earlier in his career) and Jim Kiick and Ronnie Brown factor in too.  I'm leaning Mercury, but can be swayed.

Thanks

With my long offseason I have been doing all time teams for all the NFL clubs.  I'm a Bills fan, already thinking "next year".  Maybe you guys can feel my pain?

Feel free to offer suggestions.

I put together a 53 man roster of all time Raiders.  I am a Bills fan, but follow all NFL teams and NFL history.

This is based on contribution to the Raiders, not any other team, and my personal opinions.  Yes, Jim Plunkett is not on there, just personal opinion.  Because of the 2 Super Bowls, he probably deserves it, but I just like Gannon, Lamonica and Stabler better.

Tons of great history.  Some positions were very strong and had more than enough candidates (DE,LB).  Some were pretty thin (G, T).  I did not include Shockey at TE even though he has the numbers.  Just don't like him and I have a feeling most of you don't either.  I'm from Oregon, so I loved it when Kevin Boss did great in the Super Bowl and ushered Shockey out of town.  Your opinions welcome.  Just don't be too brutal, as I am not primarily a Giants fan, but am a NFL fan overall.

I was thinking Mosi Tatupu or Larry Izzo, but wanted to get your opinions.  Any old timers that might remember a standout from the '60's or '70's?  I am a Bills fan, but am putting together all-time teams for the other teams in the league.  Hopefully we can give the Pats some competition this year.  This is the time of year I am always cautiously optimistic.  Hopefully I will still be optimistic in December or January!

I'm a Buffalo Bills fan, but I am making all time teams for the other, less successful, clubs in the league (sarcasm intended).  The Bills would love to have the Lombardi trophies the Skins have.

Anyway, here's my 53 man roster.  Some tough choices - feel free to comment.

I'm a Bills fan with a long, long offseason.  I am making all time teams for the other NFL clubs.  The Browns have a great history with a lot of great players.  I had a fun time researching, but some were very tough decisions.  I think Josh Cribbs will surpass Eric Metcalf in the next year or two.

Last year's Monday night loss and the 1990 playoff loss with the Clay Matthews interception were two times when I was NOT a Browns fan.

Some notes - I had to have Dick Schafrath start, so put him at G even though he mostly played T.  Similarly with Jim Brown.  I wanted him and Motley starting in the same backfield so I put him at RB instead of FB.  Please feel free to comment or tell me who you would replace with who.

C- Frank Gatski, Tom DeLeone
G- Gene Hickerson, Dick Schafrath (T), Jim Ray Smith, Abe Gibron
T- Mike McCormack, Lou Groza(K), Cody Riesen, Doug Dieken
TE- Ozzie Newsome, Mac Speedie, Milt Morin
WR- Dante Lavelli, Paul Warfield, Gary Collins, Reggie Rucker, Ray Renfro
QB- Otto Graham, Brian Sipe, Bernie Kosar
FB- Marion Motley, Mike Pruitt, Kevin Mack
RB- Jim Brown, Leroy Kelly, Greg Pruitt, Bobby Mitchell(WR)
P- Don Cockroft, Gary Collins (WR)
DT- Bill Willis, Jerry Sherk, Walter Johnson, Michael Dean Perry
DE- Len Ford, Paul Wiggin, Bill Glass
MLB- Vince Costello, Mike Johnson, Dick Ambrose
LB- Clay Matthews, Chip Banks, Jim Houston(DE, MLB), Walt Michaels
S- Thom Darden, Warren Lahr, Ken Kunz, Ernie Kellerman
CB- Frank Minnifield, Hanford Dixon, Clarence Scott, Bernie Parrish, Don Paul
K- Lou Groza(T), Don Cockroft (P)
KR- Eric Metcalf (RB,WR), Greg Pruitt (RB), Bobby Mitchell (RB,WR)
Head Coach - Paul Brown

Browns with Bills ties (28): Melvin Fowler, Seth McKinney, Joe DeLamielluere, Mike Pucillo, Kirk Chambers, Mark Campbell, Charley Ferguson, Andre Davis, Kelly Holcomb, Tommy O'Connell, Dave Mays, Corey McIntyre, Mike Pruitt, Ted Washington, Earl Edwards, Sid Youngleman, Keith McKenzie, Tom Cousineau, Lucious Sanford, Bo Cornell, Neal Craig, Van Green, Lawrence Johnson, ERNIE KELLERMAN, Lou Saban, Marty Schottenheimer, Tom Catlin, Jim Shofner

I'm puttng together all time teams for all the NFL squads.  I am wrestling with the KR for the Browns.  There are plenty of good ones to choose from, but I think it comes down to Eric Metcalf, Bobby Mitchell and Josh Cribbs.  Metcalf had the most total TD's.  Cribbs has best KR average.  Mitchell may have been best overall, but I never saw him play.  What do you Browns fans think?

Also not sure on MLB - Vince Costello, Mike Johnson or Eddie Johnson?

Thanks for your input.

I am a Buffalo Bills fan, but I'm making all-time teams for the other NFL teams this offseason.  When your a Bills fan, like a Lions fan, you have a looong offseason due to the lack of playoffs and all.  The Bills haven't been since 1999 - coming up on 10 years!

Anyway, the Lions have a lot of history, and it was fun looking into it.  There is a lack of great QB's - hopefully for you guys Matt Stafford changes that.  I just couldn't put Scott Mitchell or Gary Danielson on an all-time team.

Feel free to comment, suggest or whatever.  If you have a player you'd suggest, tell me who they would replace and why.

Here it is:

C- Ed Flanagan, Alex Wojciechowicz, Kevin Glover
G- Harley Sewell, John Gordy, Ox Emerson
T- Lomas Brown, Lou Creekmur, Rocky Freitas, Keith Dorney
TE- Charlie Sanders, Jim Gibbons, Cloyce Box, David Hill
