Harrison would be perfect as second-best wideout for Bills 8 January 2009, 2:23 am
The Indianapolis Colts’ playoff loss to the San Diego Chargers could be a win for the Buffalo Bills. Specifically, former all-universe wideout Marvin Harrison is now one week closer to possibly becoming an ex-Colt, which means he should be closer to becoming a future Bill. Even considering his model year and mileage, Harrison would be a better second option than Buffalo’s current second through ...... -

And now the reports say Knapp is gone, off to go work for ex-boss Jim ...... -
10 offseason Raider predictions 7 January 2009, 4:44 am
OK, so the Oakland Raiders posted their best season since 2004 this past year. Sounds great. But when you’re consistently awful, being just bad sometimes makes you look good. If you made some sense of that last statement, the next one shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to you: The Raiders still have a lot of work to do this offseason. Winning the final two games of the 2008 campaign was a ...... -
Ed Reed gives Miami’s defense a taste of what it’s missing 7 January 2009, 2:49 am
Just three days removed from a season-ending debacle at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens, this writer thinks he’s figured out the No. 1 area of need for the Miami’s resurgent but far from elite defensive unit. Simply put, the Dolphins need a game-changing defensive back. Granted, as a unit, Miami’s starting defensive backs came up with their fair share of turnovers and big plays in 2008. ...... -
Shoulder woe may not be serious, but Edwards’ record of damage is 7 January 2009, 2:11 am

While it’s been reported as not seeming serious in addition to the ...... -

Who’s the coach, Uncle Al? 6 January 2009, 2:21 am
While many a hometown fan enjoys the schadenfreude-heavy firing of an overwhelmed, incompetent and/or just plain wrong man for the head coaching job, a far greater highlight of the NFL offseason is the buildup to the hire. As with so many other processes in which this front office is involved, the coaching situation in Oakland is murky; speculation goes unanswered and, oh, boy, is there much to ...... -
Other three-quarters of division make Bills look even worse 6 January 2009, 2:20 am
The Miami Dolphins’ 2008 division title was as improbable as the Buffalo Bills’ miss was probable. Despite their subsequent first-round playoff trouncing at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens, the Dolphins still proved that there’s one consistent fact in the AFC East: It ends up as a maximum three-team race, as Buffalo has watched its three loathed foes each enjoy at least a small taste of ...... -
Dolphins’ playoff loss a case of simple mathematics 5 January 2009, 2:05 am
Consider this: Through 276 quarters of regular-season football, the Miami Dolphins turned the ball over just 13 times. At the forefront of their stinginess was quarterback Chad Pennington, who tossed only seven interceptions. In Sunday's wild-card playoff round loss to Baltimore, the Dolphins turned it over five times in just two quarters. Pennington threw four interceptions. If you extrapolate ...... -
Bills’ Simpson claiming he’s worth millions is priceless 5 January 2009, 2:04 am
The funniest thing is if Buffalo Bills safety Ko Simpson really thinks he’s worth millions. Unless he’s more clever at bookkeeping than he is at football, he’s almost certainly a bit short of his stated net worth, although that’s the least of the scofflaw’s problems. His arrest for a slight crime is a considerably big deal for a team that found its name in the news during the first postseason ......
