I'm sure that will change soon enough, no matter what team signs him.

Am I the only one that thinks Brady being suspended for the week 2 game puts all the pressure on the Bills to win?
- Pierceme69

No. I think it's definitely a "must win" game for Buffalo now. If they can't beat NE without Brady and with all the talent currently on that roster, then it's going to be another long year.

Rex is actually upset about Brady being suspended. He said he wants to beat the Pats WITH Brady, not without.

Going to be hard to win when we have no QB

The one thing Rex can do is beat New England without a real QB. He's done it in the past with Sanchez and almost did it last year with Geno Smith. His defense gives Brady fits.

I am not saying this is a team built to win the Super Bowl, you need a QB for that. But this team with the weapons on offense and that top 3 D unit is one that should give the Pats a run for their money with or without Brady.

Fasching:

“He’s a dedicated, disciplined worker who pays close attention to the details – when to make a soft dump versus a hard rim, executing crisp stops and starts when engaging the backcheck, when to adjust defensively based on teammates’ positioning. All of these things, coupled with his success at the international level, make for a legitimate NHL prospect.”

Rex can and will win with a game manager. We have 3 of them.

Sounds like the main reason that Brady got a suspension, or one of them, is his refusal to turn over his cell phone. Unless the NFL issued that cell phone, nobody has a right to it, unless its subpoenaed in a court of law.

I do as well. But at the end of the day, if that game is a W and helps us get to the playoffs, I really don't care who the QB was for NE.

Where did you find this?

I feel like I keep reading a common theme among many of our prospects lately, and that has to do with their "hockey IQ." Must be something that Devine really likes. The only one that seems to need a little help in the "IQ" department is Zadorov.

Well, I think in a lot of cases the teams actually issue them. I took care of Brian Moorman at VZW back in the day and he was on a really restricted plan (only certain people can make changes to them.) If the team issued it, I can see where the league could legitimately ask to see it because at that point it's not exactly a "personal" device.

ESPN Bills reporter Mike Rodak believes Fred Jackson is not a lock for the final roster.

It's tough to see the Bills unloading the heart and soul of their offense, a guy that's been mostly productive for eight seasons. But OC Greg Roman wants to keep four tight ends and possibly six receivers as well. That might only leave room for three running backs, which means F-Jax would need to beat out Bryce Brown or Boobie Dixon for a spot behind LeSean McCoy and Karlos Williams. The Bills would save $2.5M in cap space by releasing Jackson

Agree 100%. If the Bills finally get to the playoffs, does it really matter how they got there.

Injuries, suspensions, bad calls and all the rest are part of the game. Every team has to overcome them or take advantage of them.

They don't need a right to it, they didn't seize it, they asked for his cooperation and were denied. They decided to use that as more probable cause I imagine.

Even if Jackson isn't as productive on the field as he has been, he's an important piece to that team. He's pretty much the leader of that group and if they get rid of him, it's going to be more than just a PR nightmare. Let him play out this year and then bring him back in some sort of coaching capacity.

It's part of Vogl's review of depth at each position segments. It's a quote by Baker. Bakes seems to think Fasching is our most promising RW. I really like Fasching and I have since I learned about him at the under 18 worlds and was very impressed by Murray that he sniped him from LA. But we still.... need that top line RW.

Yeah it's always good to have strong skaters who can keep up and stay on their skates and have a strong mind for the game. You can see a theme developing among our core of prospects I believe.

Kaiser...do you have something to admit to??

It's in the CBA about cooperating

Exactly. My guess would be there was information about it on there, which is why he wouldn't let them see it. If there's no incriminating evidence, then why not just hand it over and prove to them there isn't anything?

Mike Rodak. Lol.

Meszaros makes Bryce Brown expendable.

We do ?
- SABRES 89

Absolutely. I'm optimistic that Taylor proves himself to not be a liability on the field. I mean, we at least have Cassel who can certainly manage a game.

Brady refused to turn his phone in and they found proof that Brady was consulted on the matter. He can go (frank) himself, so whatever.
