So who is going to play WR?

[BuffaloWingEater]

we have two kickers
we have brad smith (hurt) and i don't know why
david nelson is going to miss some serious time and spiller won't be lining up at receiver due to freddie's injury
guys we cut have been signed by other teams


what do the ills do now?

[OpIv37]

TJ Graham was inactive today. He definitely won't be next week. There's a start.

[mrbojanglezs]

serious time? Nelson is done for the year bro

[Night Train]

Isn't Easley on the practice squad ? That's 2 with Graham.

[BuffaloWingEater]

serious time? Nelson is done for the year bro

[tampabay25690]

Easley and graham will step in. No choice

[mrbojanglezs]

did not know that. confirmed?

he tore is ACL, he won't be back this year

[OpIv37]

Easley? You mean the guy that's always hurt and couldn't make the regular squad? I mean, it's a body but I don't expect anything from him at this point.

[BuffaloWingEater]

serious time? Nelson is done for the year bro

MRI is Monday though it doesn't look good. Not confirmed unless you have a link.

not going to debate, but the "bills fear" versus "the bills confirm" is a lot different.

[mrbojanglezs]

I agree its not "confirmed" but Gailey says its worse than Fred and there is a reputable site saying its a torn ACL which I believe, so confirmed or not he is done for year

either way both are a big loss.

[BuffaloWingEater]

if the bills are trying to win this year how about plaxico burress?

[YardRat]

Bring back Roosevelt...keep Easley and Aiken on the PS until somebody else goes down. Next week.

roosevelt, not a bad idea. he is sure handed.

[DraftBoy]

Some other options from other teams PS:
WR Gerrell Robinson-Size but not a ton of speed
WR Jared Green-Speed like his Dad but is very, very raw
WR Tim Benford-Versatile, can line up anywhere and run routes, similar to Donald Jones with higher upside
WR Danny Coale-Quick slot WR who is quicker than fast
WR Kris Durham-Was compared to Nelson coming out
WR Patrick Edwards-Another speed based slot option
WR Jeff Fuller-At one time was considered a first round pick, has size, and speed but mental concentration laps are hard
WR Tori Gurley-Was a little bit of a surprise cut from Packers camp, has the at size/speed combo
WR Ricardo Lockette-No player on this list (except maybe Green) can run as fast in a straight line, hands are inconsistent and routes are non-existant
WR Dale Moss-Love this kid, converted BBall player who was a slam dunk champion. Extremely raw but can run, catch, and go after the ball

I dont want Easley up because I think he honestly needs a full year of just practice to get his mind and body right. It was clear he was nowhere near the same player this year, bringing him up this year could end his career. Aiken offers nothing and Im not sure why he's on the PS, and Roosevelt while a good story does nothing to replace either of the guys we are missing. He's a slower version of Graham.

i thought i knew football. i have no idea who those guys are :D

[Joe Fo Sho]

Terrell Owens is still out there...

[BuffaloWingEater]

Terrell Owens is still out there...

so is chad johnson.

i don't want either.

[Scumbag College]

I think the Bills have to bring up Easley. The guy is a great athlete and has been in the system for the past few years.

At this point what do the Bills have to lose?

I think Roosevelt could work nicely from the slot.

Me neither, just saying.

it's pathetic that this comment applies after only one game.

[X-Era]

Stevie, Nelson, Chandler (sometimes) and thats about it.

[Scumbag College]

I thought about leaving that part out of my post. But honestly, this does not look like even a remotely close to a playoff team. After 2 years on IR, why not just let the guy play as the 4th or 5th WR.

[Oaf]

We need another Eric Moulds.

[Patti120]

I think Nall Ball is what we really need!

[BuffaloWingEater]

Stevie, Nelson, Chandler (sometimes) and thats about it.

dude, nelson is most likely done for the year.

[kingJofNYC]

Doesn't even matter, Fitz is terrible. Season is a wash. Maybe we can get our **** together by 2015.

[BuffaloWingEater]

I think Nall Ball is what we really need!

or Brohm Ball. Bring back Brian Brohm lmao!

[Mr. Pink]

Lets go get Carlton Mitchell!!!

[DBrown77]

i thought i knew football. i have no idea who those guys are :D

Theres a reason for that...

[X-Era]

Lets go get Carlton Mitchell!!!
Screw that... Usain Bolt.

[Johnny Bugmenot]

Doesn't even matter, Fitz is terrible. Season is a wash. Maybe we can get our **** together by 2015. Why do people seem to take for granted that this team's even going to be around in three years?

[kingJofNYC]

You're right. At that point we can free up our Sundays or jump on some team's bandwagon

[BuffaloWingEater]

again we need a groan button

[OpIv37]

again we need a groan button

Why? For pointing out reality? Until there's a stadium lease and some guarantee about the post-Ralph ownership situation, the reality is that the team may not be here in 3 years.

[CoolBreeze]

Roosevelt, Aiken, or Easley will be the guy. My guess would be Roosevelt.

[BuffaloWingEater]

again we need a groan button. why? because i don't want to see the bills lose the way they did and then at the same time discuss how the bills are moving to l.a.

[Johnny Bugmenot]

again we need a groan button. why? because i don't want to see the bills lose the way they did and then at the same time discuss how the bills are moving to l.a. There's a solution to that:

Log out, and never return. Thanks.

[ckg927]

I've said it in other places and I'll say it here: Jacksonville or San Diego would be the team more likely to move to L.A. They have much more tenuous situations than we do, and they've been in trouble for a lot longer than Buffalo has.

[Bert102176]

exactly, ty

Yup. Maybe we should add oakland as well.

San Diego? Maybe. Jax? No way. They don't have the fan base we do, but their stadium lease and ownership situations are much more stable than ours.

[BertSquirtgum]

Bring in Chad Johnson.

[ckg927]

Here's the problem: When you have to tarp over large sections of your stadium...and you STILL can't sell out the place...you've got problems.

Besides, I think that area of Florida is more college football crazy than, say, NFL crazy. You've got Florida State and the U of Florida within decent-sized drives of Jacksonville. The Jags will ALWAYS be #3 in that market. There's no other way to cut it.

[ckg927]

Bring in Chad Johnson.

F. NO.

That is all.

Besides him being a constant pub hound, he's got diminishing returns stat-wise, and has for the last few seasons.

Didn't we learn anything from the T.O. signing? Apparently not.

[BertSquirtgum]

This team needs talent at wide receiver and Chad Johnson has talent. Burress wouldn't be bad either.

Youre forgetting one big part of it...they have the most iron clad lease in the league. That team is not moving right now.

[kishoph]

Roosevelt would be my answer to fill the slot position, doesn't need blazing speed and is sure handed.
