I just don't see it. Peyton wants a shot at a ring - would he really settle with the Dolphins and face Brady twice a year? No.

The only place that it really makes sense to go for Peyton is Denver - maybe Arizona, but that organization would look ridiculous after the Kolb trade.

They have been to the playoffs a total of 9 times since 1920. They are used to it.

What a fraud Mario Williams is if he signs with the Bills. He talked all that stuff about winning being to most important thing to him and money not being that big of a deal, so he goes to Buffalo?

I can live with the bears not getting Mario Williams. I think getting Brandon Marshall with Carolina's 3rd rounder this year, and a 3rd rounder next year is a good haul. I will give Mr. Emery the benefit of the doubt that he knows what he's doing. Let's hope he drafts well.

Oh Miami. Whats worse than the Bucs never signing any talent? Trading away what little talent you have. I feel better about free agency already.

You must think Peyton is a giant pussy. The man is a competitor, I'de bet he seriously loves the idea of getting two chances to kick Brady's ass every year.

Probably ... but one could play devil's advocate a bit here.

Until the Bills offense got destroyed by injuries, they were lighting up D's left and right (leading the league). Their main problem was their defense. With Darius being a year older and Kyle Williams coming back ... the addition of Williams would make for a serious D-line. So couple a vastly improved D-line (lack of pressure was one of their biggest issues) with an offense that has lots of potential ... the Bills could be a much better team than is initially obvious.

The Bucs need a center that can hold the point more than they need a guard. Not another technique guy. I'm tired of seeing running plays getting blown up right from the middle of the line. We have needed a decent center for a long time.

It's all good if they are playing this to WIN. All the way etc. But if he goes there and doesn't do shit, you should be pissed.

I wonder with this Marshal trade if Miami plans on signing a WR in FA, I mean Manning isn't the only reason why they made this trade, at least I hope not! <_<

Bills are a young team on the rise (albeit a slow rise) and they're offering the most money. I don't see what's so ridiculous about this. What's ridiculous is Buffalo breaking the bank to bring him in. They NEVER do that.

Yeah, the whole family was down. Parents, sisters, etc. It was a blast (but also why I never got back to you to get together. sorry)

Oh, that's great. You guys do that annually? Saw a bunch of family members I hadn't seen in years this last Christmas. I bet they were all excited to see your little girl. No worries man, I wouldn't have bugged you if I knew it was a family trip.

Dude your team is God Tier. Is that what you want to hear? You are the epitome of a "If we would have" fan. If we would have thrown, if we would have caught, if we would have punted, If we would have got the calls.

Let's look at some of your wins. You beat the powerful Rams twice, the Browns, the Panthers, and Seahawks who ended the year with a combined record of 19 wins and 45 losses.
You did however beat some .500 teams two times! Awesome! (Eagles and Cowboys). And you beat the 49ers by a field goal which is a solid win. But when you look deeper and realize Arizona needed OVERTIME to beat the Rams, Browns, Seahawks not to mention Cowboys. The team could of easily finished 4-12 and not 8-8.

Arizona with Peyton Manning would be on the border of mediocre/good team. I don't know why you think the team is up there with the Patriots, Packers or Giants with Peyton Manning. They simply aren't.

Oh the chuckles this post gave me! Yes, I completely suggested Cards were god tier. I mean, everyone else should just pack it in for next year. When exactly did I say if we made that play or catch or yada yada? You're just pulling shit out of your ass, man. FMT pointed out we barely squeaked some wins and I countered with we barely lost to some teams and that was when we were shitty if that's what you're referring to. Hardly think that's the same thing. It's a real observation that we started playing better at the end of the season and that's what you go off for the next season's estimated performance.

Who gives a shit who we beat? The point is that we went from 1-6 to 8-8 which is no easy feat no matter who you play in the NFL. Teams like the Packers and Patriots don't drop that many games and look like shit to begin with, they are already elite teams. Finishing strong at the end of the season after such an abysmal start shows how much we grew and developed as a team and that we started getting things together. I liked what I saw from our defense to end the year and think we will be one of the top defenses sooner than later. Still need a piece or two but we're close. We'll be at least mediocre WITHOUT Manning. Manning takes us up another level.

My god you are delusional or else you were very selective in which portions of my posts you read. I very specifically stated that with Manning, we wouldn't be favorites, but we'd have a shot. I didn't realize that saying we'd win the NFC West implied that you are in the elite group of the top teams. DERP. While you're running your mouth, how about you take a look at most of our losses that were by the skin of our teeth so we just as easily could have ended with double digit wins and a playoff spot. It works two ways, buddy.

At least I know who to hit up next time I need a good laugh.
