1. Haven't heard that McCoy is out indefinitely. What's the usual time table for broken ribs?
2. Lynch is a major upgrade over Mike Bell
3. Eagles are still playing in a division that is up for grabs
4. I was going to post a "Lynch to Philly?" thread but decided not to...and yet here we are

this is exactly what the Bills have been holding out for: another suitor. Could be some logic to their stonewalling of the Packers' request.
Play off the Eagles against the Packers.
I think a deal will be going down.

Not to mention, I think Philly is a wiser organization that would realize a 3rd round pick for a pro-bowl caliber player (albeit RB) is a good deal.

Bills reportedly turned down a third for Lynch during the draft. I'd be surprised if their asking price has come down since then.this is exactly what the Bills have been holding out for: another suitor.

McNabb was out 3 weeks last year (2 games and a bye).But they say it all depends on how much pain you can tolerate.If you forced me to choose, I'd rather be a QB with a broken rib instead of a RB with one.

I owned Westy in 08 and remember this situation well.""Do I want to be out there at 45 percent (two broken ribs) and not wanting to take a hit and hurting this team more than I'm helping it?" Westbrook asked on his radio show on 950 ESPN. "No. ... I wouldn't want to set the team back like that." Westbrook

Not sure if you're being sarcastic but the Eagles were never a superbowl contender this year. If Vick is out for a significant period of time, they are probably not even a playoff contender. Adding Lynch will not change this. The problem is that they're young and the defense is not very good yet. The offensive line is also a mess.

It may not be this rib injury to McCoy as much as the Eagles know they aren't going anywhere as a team with Mike Bell at RB. A third round pick is worth some young cheap insurance at RB.

A 3rd rounder is not enough for a bell cow RB that gets 8 carries a game....

I think the Seattle stuff was proven (read: denied) to be false. I'm not sure there has ever been anything as high as a 3rd formally offered. It's all been here-say. (IMO, but who knows.)IIRC, rumor was it was the Seahawks...Could be wrong though...What team offered a third?Bills reportedly turned down a third for Lynch during the draft.

He's a good player and very young, and very cheap. When you're "rebuilding" trading away players like that is not what you do to get better.A 3rd rounder is not enough for a bell cow RB that gets 8 carries a game....

as long as Slaton won't fumble. Because this won't go over well in Philly.

Thompson wanted to draft Lynch in the 1st a few years ago so I find it hard to believe, even as much as he loves his draft picks, that he wouldn't part with a 3rd rounder in a heartbeat to get him.Most of the rumors have them wanting a pick plus TJ Lang...and with the way Tauscher and Cliffton have been playing the Pack cannot afford to trade what little Oline depth they have. Spitz maybe but not Lang.

Slaton went to High School in the Philly burbs. People would cut him some slack as long as he produced in the yardage area.

I don't see how Lynch owners would be happy. MCCoy is the #1 RB. I would think Lynch owners would ahve rpeferred a call from Seattle, Green Bay, or perhaps the Bucs.

Whoever they get, if they can run 5 yard flats or out patterns then they are golden with Kolb at QB

The price won't be right. They wanted a 3rd and a starting player from the Packers..What a joke..

The Pro-Bowl running back being talked about in this thread, Marshawn Lynch. If you watch Lynch run he is clearly very talented. He put up good numbers in 07 and 08. Right now even Chris Johnson wouldn't be able to put up anything more than 1000 yards on that awful Bills team.I never understood why he has so many haters -- yes he is a knucklehead but he is talented. He's in a bad situation where he does not want to be in Buffalo and they do not want him. If he went anywhere else I have no doubt he would produce.
Lynch is an upgrade over McCoy too.

LOL. Ya, forget that whole super bowl thing. I don't like Lynch. Improvement over BJ? HUGE. But naaa, I don't like'em. Nope. Let's be one dimensional and keep playing for next year.I would not trade Lang straight up for Lynch...much less add a draft pick.Why do people in these threads continue to act as if a 3rd is all it will take to het this done when report after report say its not the case?Last thing/rumor I read was they wanted av2nd and a starting caliber olineman.this is exactly what the Bills have been holding out for: another suitor.

Lynch does not guarantee any super bowl...and with the age of Tauscher...injuries and how he looked against Chicago you don't trade Lang for a position with the shelf life of a running back.
Edit: I also don't recall saying I don't like Lynch...I have said if it would take a 3rd id give it in a heartbeat...even a 2nd id probably give quickly.

Not a chance. Not in that offense. Lynch has disappointed. Buffalo wouldn't have drafted Spiller if they thought much of Lynch.

Well, do you expect teams that suck to just hand over RBs for next to nothing, just to help out a team that is suddenly in need of a RB? The fact that teams like GB and Philly suddenly need a RB means their desperation means a team like the Bills, who have an abundance of wealth at the RB position, can afford to ask for a lot. This isn't MLB where a bad team just hands over a player who can make a contender THE team to beat for a few minor leaguers, ya know.

The same Lynch who lost his starting job in Buffalo to an undrafted journeyman ?

IF Lynch goes to Philly and IF McCoy is not out (indefinitely) the it's just another RBBC that will diminish the value of both backs. As all others "sitting on Lynch" I hope the impending trade is to a team where he will be RB1, i.e., GB or TB.
