  1. Again.. I am not saying the guy is a bust I am just asking if anyone else noticed what I witnessed this season. I hope he proves me wrong and kicks ass next season but it is going to take a ton of work..

     

    As far as those who say we picked him as a 2-3 year project.. Only the Bills would take a 2-3 year project in the 2nd round when there was starting talent in critical positions available. It seems like every pick we have had over the past decade has been a 2-3 year project who is never on the team when 3 years rolls around.

  2. With all of the talk about Spiller I have yet to see anyone mention our 2nd round pick Torrell Troup.

     

    I was hoping that Nix and co may have found a diamond in the rough on this guy but I am not confident in what I have seen so far. Sure he is a young rookie and is going up against NFL offensive lineman now but I honestly cannot think of one good play he turned in for us and he did receive a significant amount of snaps.

     

    Every time I focused on him during a game I noticed him getting blown back off the line by one offensive lineman.. It seemed he would just try to bull rush the lineman head on and would fail miserably at it. When he was drafted the hope would be he would be a big space-eater that demands two lineman but I honestly don't know if he has the athletic ability to do so.

     

    Hopefully he proves me wrong.. Thoughts?

  3. Having lived in Cincinnati for the past 3 of 4 years I can tell you that their fans are not nearly as loyal as ours. Last year when they made the playoffs they barely sold out the playoff game. As I recall tickets were still available two days before the game. On a side note, Marvin Lewis is an awful coach. How he won coach of the year last year is beyond me. He is one of the longest tenured coachs in the NFL (third or fourth most tenured). Any other city would have thrown him to the curb a long time ago.

     

    I agree with you on these fans being weak for the most part. I moved here a little over 2 years ago and I was shocked to see they could not sell tickets last year when they were in the playoff hunt and beating everyone in the AFC North. The main reason why they do eventuallyu sell out is usually because a local corporation buys the remainder of the tickets at a discount.

     

    The only thing I will give them is that the tickets are generally more expensive than they are in B-Lo.

     

    That playoff game last year was an absolute joke. The fans all dumped their tickets the night before the game because "it was going to be too cold" so I ended up getting 3rd level 40yd line tickets on stubhub for $22 per ticket for a PLAYOFF game! By the 3rd quarter i was at the 50 yard line 8 rows up from the Jets bench because a couple on their way out thought it was too cold and gave me their tickets..

  4. A couple of us are meeting at a Sunoco gas station at 901 W 8th Street at 7:45 and will convoy in to the Longworth lot. This will allow us to get a few cars in a row to give us enough space to allow others to walk over and join us. You can either join the convoy, or find us in the lot. More than likely since we will be early we will be in either the first or last row. Udonkey (Mike) will be driving a Yukon/Tahoe type vehicle and will try to rig up his Bills flag. On my rental, I will have a bowling ball (16 pound shot glass) on the roof.

     

    I will meet you guys there at 7:45.

     

    If you guys need a flagpole let me know. I have a telescopic one that I can bring with me.

  5. Considering the fact that I cannot think of one good pick in the first 3 rounds in about a decade I think the Bills would be better off continuing to trade down until they have about 20 picks after the 4th round. I counted TWO first round picks that were inactive today simply because they flat out suck.. First rounders are expected to start immediately..

     

    Why is it this team can find decent players that do not even get drafted but when it comes to using the "safe" picks they always completely blow it??

  6. Apart from some of the strange things retired sports stars start to think and do...

     

    Mr Paladino and his like are are the reason for America and Americans being ridiculed as ignorant and uneducated around the world. And, um, well, as long as they elect ignorants - rightfully so.

     

    Americans are being ridiculed by who? Europe? They are the last people on earth that should be ridiculing anyone.

     

    If we are being ridiculed then it is because we have continued to elect the same Washington deadbeats for decades who have done nothing but drain our country into a state where we cannot even afford our own government anymore. That changes this November!

  7. In order for the Bills to win this game they need to bench Edwards and run the wildcat the entire game with all 3 RB's in the backfield. Prior to the hurry-up offense last week the only plays where we consistently moved the ball was in wildcat formation until a penalty forced them to put Trent back in.

  8. Looked on the BB.com message board and this guy finally admitted that it is AJ Hawk who he is talking about

     

    Dude u wanna know the truth my source is my Brother in Law who is partner with AJ Hawk in Mid Ohio Contracting.....so why dont you go back through my post and you will see i have NEVER said i have a source before this moment My information is coming straight from AJ Hawks mouth

    OK i have a brother inlaw who is partners in a construction company with a NFL LB and i was told that this LB is coming to Buffalo in a trade for one of our RB's

     

    Bash me if you want but this trade is in the works

     

    A quick search of his message history has him saying he lives in Ohio and went to Ohio State. He also had a comment a few days ago saying the Bills should trade for AJ Hawk since he is not starting. Another quick search says that AJ Hawk owns a construction company in Columbus http://www.bbb.org/centralohio/business-reviews/contractor-commercial/mid-ohio-contracting-services-ltd-in-grandview-heights-oh-70059357

     

     

    Take it for what it's worth. Usually these rumors seem like pipe dreams but this guy's story actually adds up.
