Merry Christmas.

Trent Edwards is our savior.
Please God let this kid be good, I'm sick of being laughing stocks.

Since I missed the Christmas wishes, let me be the first to wish y'all a happy new year.

A new year or rookies not sucking as much ass as JaMarcus Russell.

I knew heading into the season that this entire season, preaseason, and camp was a wash because of his holdout, but now I fear that he stifled his entire career.

Maybe he can get tips from Favre when the old man quarterbacks across the bay for the 9ers.

I'm free tonight if you're around sable.

Sorry internet here at the parents has been down since yesterday at 10 in the morning. They have four trucks out there fixing it and it looks like it is fixed, so maybe sometime today?

Well guys, my 360 is out for delivery today. So once I get it I will be willing to play any games I am missing ASAP. Let me know when you can play?

Did ChrisJames get a RRoD?

My disc is broken and I'm going to be out of town until next Thursday evening. You guys can sub my games if you're in a hurry to get them done, but it's not a necessity, as I will make sure to finish all my games.

although i know everyone is busy....

if anyone needs me to fill in for a game i'm around

Dude you are screwing me on Weekly Awards! ;(

Samuel had a 101 yd INT return for TD that was the deciding factor in a 14-6 game. Clearly the best AFC defensive effort! WTF!

Lonestar, if you read this in the near future (i.e before I post again here), PM me with your available times. I'm really busy but I promise to check my GAF PMs often and I'll find a way to fit it in.

Well the Fedex idoits took my 360 to Newark, NJ instead of Newark, DE! So hopefully I will have it tomorrow. :(

Any idea when EA will decide to update the rosters?
You want to wait until they upgrade Asomugha to play? :D

DM posted something about them waiting until the ps3 version gets its patch to release everything together for both platforms.

Are the Raiders going to sign him this offseason?

We can play before or after, you're call. I'm just curious to see what they did with Edwards, I'm hoping his accuracy went up a bit so I can use him instead of Loserman.

Thanks for the info. What I don't understand is why we have to wait for the PS3 version to get patched? They didn't hold back the 360 patch to release it day and date with the PS3, so why hold back the roster?

I can play whenever you want.

Nnamdi is up in the air. All signs point to yes, but the contract would be big and they have some prospects they want to break out. I say keep him and let the other fight for that second spot that's been killing us with Washington on that side. >:|

As for the patch, beats me! Maybe they're using it as an excuse to stretch it out as much as possible. That way, they'll only have to release that roster update and then the final update.

I'll let you know when I'm ready to go Rors.

Bills need another corner, Nnamdi would be great and we have the money but we won't spend it. We're using this "cash to the cap" technique to manage our salary. You basically take a players Bonus and eliminate it from that years available cap space, even though the bonus would be prorated over the life of the contract.

So we have $35m to spend, but if we sign a player with a $20m bonus we only have $15m left to spend on all other player bonuses. Basically, we can't sign any big name players even though we have the cap space. :(

nnamdi would look nice in the burgundy and gold! and we got the money to pay him!

but instead we should sign suggs and haynesworth!
You guys already blew your wad on that overrated CB over there. :lol

Yeah, Stompy would fit the 9ers better. :p
 
overrated cb!? you mean the one who is arguably best in the NFC? people don't throw his way, and he leads the NFC CB's in tackling.

the reason we give up a lot of passing yards is b/c we have absolutely no pass rush. none!

Oh, sorry, I meant overpaid. No one rates him high!
 
psh, 5 year $40 million dollar contract is fine!

i forgot that the media treats NFL contracts as if they are guaranteed MLB style contracts that never get voided in the final years. but carry on espn-minded "$80 MILLION DOLLARZZ!?" hype!

i would pay haynesworth that type of money :(

44.5 million! ...but I mostly keed with my 9ers ribbery. I think you guys would have been better off with defensive/offensive line acquisitions. Corners without pressure is worthless as Denver can attest. [edit: Real Denver, not the stupid, imaginary, overrated Madden Denver]

Now stop fantasizing about my players!
