I am going to take a line from a GREAT GREAT movie ... "Dumb an Dumber"
"Pick em up!"
In relation to another thread, should we try and use Flynn to make this happen? Especially if we are not planning on resigning him next year? Maybe we should get something for him.
Finely for Lynch straight up
Bulaga and a pick for Lynch
I don't think anyone is saying he's "so good," just that he can be had for relatively cheap, and that he's a proven back. He's no golden child, but he'll work well in our offense. The Bills are the only team I see that has depth at RB but a pressing need for absolutely everything else.Why lynch? what makes him so good? Please someone tell me.
Wait, how do you know about Slaton?What I read was that the Packers DID inquire about Lynch before the week 2 Buffalo game for all of those who keep saying TT doesn't do ****... He was told that Lynch wasn't available. So there was an effort to bring him in immediately following the Grant injury.
But right now we are looking into Lynch again, and Steve Slaton with the Texans.
I don't know if I'd like that kind of deal. If Rodgers goes down, I guess our season is pretty much screwed anyways, but at least with Flynn there's a remote chance in hell of winning... Besides those are the only two QB's on our roster... I don't think the Packers would let him go next year either.
BTW, over on the Bills forums, some of their guys are coming up with some CRAZY trades that they'd be okay with... Such as:
Finely for Lynch straight up
Bulaga and a pick for Lynch
Uh, yeah, like hell on either of those... You couldn't pry Finely from TT's cold dead fingers, and I'd like to think the same for Bulaga after last nights O-Line performance.

Haha, they're so desperate right now. Any talent on their team seems like everything to them and it seems unbearable for them to break with it.I don't know if I'd like that kind of deal.

Wait, how do you know about Slaton?
Agreed. I'm fine bringing Lynch in, I think he's definitely an upgrade. Just so long as we don't OVER pay for him. I'm not okay with giving up any of our O-linemen, Flynn, any of our LB's or anything higher than a 3rd round pick.
How is a guy who wasn't good enough to play in the NFL this year a better option than a young back who's proven he can be a 1,000 yard guy in this league?well why so set on Lynch? What about someone in the UFL or watever that league is?
I really don't think that is going to be feasible, if we actually do swing a trade for Lynch.
Buffalo needs exactly those 3 positions.. O-Line, QB, and LB's.
They aren't going to take Donald Lee and a 3rd for a Pro-Bowl RB unfortunately.. even the Bills aren't that stupid.
I'd give up Spitz/Lang and a 3rd for Lynch.

I agree, a 3 is too high, but if Lynch can be had I don't know why you're as dead set against it as some of us are for it. Is it the character issues? Because I couldn't care less about those if the price is right. I'd trade for Michael Vick or Ben Roethlisberger tomorrow if I thought it made our team better.
The solution to having a better running game is to replace our aging and rapidly fading offensive tackles. Bulaga needs to be in the starting lineup and Lang should also probably. I don't think our pass protection gets hurt at all and we instantly upgrade our ability to run the football.
. Steve Slaton with the Texans.
