"In 2010 not being with the team the first six games or so you’re wondering if you’ll be around long," said Rinehart. "So a year later getting a chance to start I feel I’ve shown them what I’m capable of. At the same time I still think I can improve and get better."

Ugh....

Again Walker saying that the Bills can sign Williams b/c Nix said that the Bills will spend to the cap. Nix said he meant “cash to the cap” when he said that. It’s not the same thing. It’s how the Bills have budgeted since the Levy era. So….that means nothing has changed from last year or the prior years and he keeps talking aobut it as if the Bills will now be big spenders.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you sireric for bringing the furious punching cat back into my life. - poz

hey, don’t rain on that parade too heavily. free agent season is a time for hope (and frequent disappointment, but one can dream).

NOBODY circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills.

Yes, but we will have a lot of angry rants around free agent time if people think that suddenly it’s going to be raining money like it is for the Cowboys b/c people like Walker look at quotes instead of the entirety of what Nix has been saying.

Maybe it's just me...

But these quotes doesn’t exactly increase my faith in Fitz

“I guess we weren’t ready for it yet,” Fitzpatrick said in an interview on Sirius XM NFL Radio. “We weren’t ready to be able to accept the fact that we were playing well and playing as the team that was on the top (of the AFC East).”

“This is a team that I think is going to get better and better,” Fitzgerald [sic] added. “We have some stability, just in terms of the coaches are there, with the systems in place for another year, and we’ve got a lot of the same players, so we’re hoping that that stability really helps us.”

No respect huh Fitzy?

Sure, Fitz aced the Wonderlic test...but he does not pass the Eyeball test...

about the picture caption..

Miami Dolphins’ Reshad Jones (20) tackles Buffalo Bills Leodis McKelvin (28) as Bills Chad Rinehart (76) blocks during the first half of a NFL football game in Miami, Sunday, Dec. 19, 2010.

I don’t think that’s McKelvin :)
