Ahman Green - under contract with the Omaha UFL team, don't think he'd be available until at leats Nov (if he's even an option worth pursuing)

The trade - I am frustrated to see this didn't happen, but someone else pointed out that Seatlle is likely to finish with a lower record than GB this year, thus their draft picks could be more appealing to Buffalo.

Heard Greg Bedard explain that the system isnt so much who the back is...Lynch would been a upgrade but he feels that it isnt that big of a blow

I want Bernard Scott from the Bengals. Or Steve Slaton from the Texans. Or Jason Snelling from the Falcons. Or Michael Bush from the Raiders.

LOL.. maybe Santa will deliver them for ya.. because I highly doubt we make any of those moves... and if the rumor does come about.. their are built in warts for each.

Scott.. when has he ran for 1200 yards?

Slaton.. hurt, fumbling issues.. beat out by Foster.. why would we want him.

Snelling.. Anyone can run behind that line.. and he has never ran for more than 500 yards in a season.

Bush.. hasn't been healthy for more than two games straight in his career..

See.. there.. no sense in looking at these options. lol.

Uh... when has Brandon Jackson or John Kuhn ever ran for 1200+ yards? I actually judge players with how they look on the field instead of stats. I'm having a hard time judging what that 'lol' means, as in, does it mean the whole post is a joke or just the last sentence. But I will answer if it were the latter.

All the guys I listed are backups in their teams, but who look like good players but have yet to have the chance to be a feature back (except Slaton).

And yeah, Foster beat out Slaton. That doesn't mean anything. It's like saying that if we had Rodgers and Philip Rivers, that Rodgers beat him out for the starting spot.

Sorry Fin.. I was being an ass.. I was preparing the defense of not making any of those moves if the rumor ever shall arise. ;)

Trying to be funny.. poor joke.

The price for Lynch was lower than I expected it would be. I'm not sure if he would've been a good fit anyway, but it would be nice to get an RB who has game breaking potential.

Considering how the Lions game ended, I wonder if they just might start Kuhn and have him blast into the line 15-20 times per game and move Jackson back to third down duty, which is what he's good at. Maybe our O-line is better suited for blocking for a runner like Kuhn, who doesn't need a nice neat gap to run through.

Well said on the first point in your post.

I shamefully acknowledge that I'm in the knee jerk, throw caution to the wind, "lets add Barry Sanders because he used to be good" crowd - yes we're all short-sighted and irrational, and many midseason additions don't pan out, but...

As Fin said, the 2 backs the team currently have are fairly unproven backups as well, and to this point are also proving to be fairly ineffective (aside from the 6 min drive). Most arguments (aside from fumbling) made against Lynch, Williams, Snelling, etc. seem to apply to Bjack/kuhn as well.

With that said, this is all wishful thinking, I don't see Ted doing anything.

Ugh... I just interpreted the post wrong, too pissed off from all the whining on this board to have turned my funny-meter on.

But, it did give me a nice chance to semi-rant. I always like doing that.
