    I really hope the Bills defence can score a couple TDs a game...will be about the only way these guys have a winning football team

    I'm assuming Cassel will be let go now...this is still a terrible situation in Bills land. I got some chuckles when I read on Bleacher Report they were calling the Bills QB situation a strength now based one preseason game against the Steelers misfits

    Cutting FJax is insane, from a football perspective. I hope this was a $$ call, because Bryce Brown and their 5th Rd pick whose name I can't remember aren't going to set the world on fire behind the always-injured McCoy.

    Whoever picks up Jackson gets a really good backup, and if it's Cleveland, a good starter.

    Shady McCoy owners should be happy with this choice.

    Always injured? He's missed 6 games in 6 years. 2 of those games he was held out because of the Eagles record.

    You're absolutely right, my apologies!

    I've always kept my distance from him but I can't remember why...did he get vultured a lot his earlier years in Philly?

    From the interwebz:

    tie rod

    noun

    1. an iron or steel rod serving as a structural tie, especially one keeping the lower ends of a roof truss, arch, etc., from spreading.

    2. Automotive. a rod that serves as part of the linkage in the steering system.


    So maybe he can steer the Bills to some wins this year?

    Not really. The one year with Andy Reid and Vick he did, and last year he kinda did. But not any more than lots of other RBs.

    FJax never really got vultured last season. Buffalo's entire offense last year was a joke and it all stemmed from play calling. Nathanial Hackett was arguably the worst play caller in the NFL last season and any swift coach that didn't just want to be buddy buddy with him would have canned him after his first season. Huge Bills fan and I'm at every game and I can tell you from the Chan Gailey era -> Doug Marrone era that neither Spiller nor FJax were utilized properly under the last regime...that being said, it was a very sad day to see FJax go
