Should really bolster thier RB situation when Lynch returns and helps out in the meantime

Rhodes has been pretty good when he plays against the Pats

This irritates me. :banned:

We will still decimate them, however. I feel especially confident after Galloway's comments about Brady!

Journeyman, no different from a dozen other guys they could have signed. 3.5 YPC on a team that always runs well. He's a viable RB but he's just a guy.

Kind of surprised they aren't going to just make it the Fred Jackson show for the few games that Marshawn is out. He was very good in the limited action he got.

Guys, I told you a few times...

Ralph Wilson will never have problem players on his team.

Ralph dumped McGahee , Travis Henry, Anthony Hargrove, and he will continue to do so!

K.O Simpson 1 arrest

Donte Whitner 2

Marshawn Lynch, 2 arrests

Don't be surprised if Marshawn is traded and Rhodes is nothing more then a backup for Freddy Jackson or a newly drafted RB.

I believe Whitner may be gone too!

I have been a fan for 42 years, this is nothing new in Buffalo.

Did you guys see this, I would love your reaction

It never made this board, its a big issue in Buffalo

Buffalo now has 6 picks in the first 4 rounds

There was some discussion, it just ended up in the NFL Forum.
I do agree the Peters trade affects the Pats more than the Rhodes signing does.

Though these two transactions will have a major effect on the AFC East, the Rhodes signing will also have something to do with the Colts. Indy was far more effective when Rhodes was on the roster to go along with Addai, who had a much lower production last year due to injuries. It will be interesting to see how much of a workload Addai carries in 2009, and how well he will be playing when the Pats and Colts meet in week ten.

Given the FA signing activity to date and given trades away of starters, I wonder which AFC team will be more improved this season?

On one hand the Pats have obviously done more this off-season, but on the other hand the Bills have a whole lot more room to improve than a team coming off an 11-win season does. I'm thinking the Bills might pass the Jets and Dolphins as the Pats' top contender in the AFC East in 2010-11-12 - assuming the CBA is worked out. If we go in to an uncapped year, I can envision the Bills being a team (along with the Bengals, Jags, Bucs and Vikings among others) that dumps players and their salaries, taking advantage of no minimum salary floor in an attempt to boost profit.

Wow, could be some trading to move up!

My Boss is from Buffalo. I used to tell him him how consistent the Bills are every year going 7-9.
I stopped telling him this and now say; You have a good team and should improve this year Gotta be a team player at work.
