Are there any outdoor basketball courts in Buffalo (including suburbs) that have lights so you can play at night?

You're partially right. This is no correlation among ALL 3 items. Just like there is no correlation among ALL of the following 3 items:
Jauron coach team, defense gets 6 turnovers and scores 2 TDs, team lose.
That's because the middle item in both examples are extraneous. The result was the same. But there is one constant in both examples:
JAURON coach TEAM, TEAM lose.
It was like that in 4 out 5 years in Chicago, and 3 out 3 years in Buffalo.
2 different teams.
2 different ownership
2 different coaching staffs
2 different rosters
2 different sets of divisional opponents
1 constant
Jauron coach team, team lose.
That is a very direct correlation.
You can't chalk up 8 seasons to coincidence. Jauron is the problem. -
After 8 years of Reed simply being a small possession receiver that disappears when needed
I know! I'm so sick of Reed still being small!!! And possesion receivers are just big butt heads!

i love the nhl, and I'm a big sabres fan, but i have to admit the nhl's market is not even close to being as big as the nfl's.
Yes but the NHL has to fill up 20,000 seats for a game. The NFL needs close to 80,000.

All Drafted players are terrors in College.
Do all drafted players lead the nation in tackles their junior year?

Twitter... for when you absolutely need to hear ftom a TWIT.
Well played sir....That being said I don't have a problem with a player on the Bills that isn't happy-go-lucky all the time and isn't afraid to state his opinion.

The Pats* made way more sense for Taylor.
Rhodes still has a contribution to make, and could help most teams as a #2 RB, IMO. I don't think he ends up with the Bills if Marshawn wasn't suspended for some games to start the season, though. Circumstances made him more valuable to the Bills than he would be to some other teams. If the Bills decide to use some no-huddle, and continue to throw to their backs more (as they began to do last season) Rhodes will be a better fit for the Bills than Taylor would have been.
No more need be said. -
I mentioned this in a post awhile ago but can't find it; if memory serves me The Eagles and at one point the Vikings were two of the first teams to really manipulate the salary cap. In other words, and i am not exactly sure how on point I am with this, they front load contracts and/or do away with or use up cap space in a particular year to leave more money for following years.
Sure, there was a risk and it is pretty free with the money, but it seems to have worked because they ALWAYS seem to have cap space.
Thanks for clearing that up. I was wondering the same. Front loading the salaries up to the cap on a specific year is brilliant.

Are there any pics out there yet?

I believe it comes down to whomever has the most questions unanswered for the upcoming season. Other than special teams, the Bills aren't set anywhere on the football field. Without even taking count, I know the Bills have the most questionable roster in the AFC East, by far.
Let's take a look.
Buffalo
1. Can Trent take the next step?
2. Can the offensive line gel in time for the start of regular season?
3. Can T.O. perform well at the age of 36 and will he behave?
4. Is Schouman/Nelson ready to start at TE?
5. Will Maybin be NFL ready as a rook?
6. Will Schobel regain his old form?
7. Can Pos take his game to the next level?
8. Will anyone emerge as a viable starter at Ellison's OLB position?
9. Now that McKelvin is a full time starter, will he be an upgrade over Greer?
10. Are we finally set at safety after having drafted Byrd to play FS?
11. Can Trent stay healthy?
12. How will the Bills perform without Lynch the first three weeks?
That makes 12 questions the Bills need answered on the football field. Too many, if you ask me. A team needs to have some certainty to be able to compete in a division as tough as ours.
Miami
1. Will the wildcat still be effective?
2. Can Pennington stay healthy?
3. Will someone step up at receiver?
4. Can Taylor, Porter, and Ferguson hold up another year in their front seven?
5. Is their secondary good enough to compete?
Overall, the Dolphins are a well built team. Parcells fixed both defensive and offensive lines last year and that's where football games are won.
New York
1. Who will be their QB and is he ready? This is a huge question, IMO. Worth more than one point, if you ask me.
2. Do they have an adequate second or even first receiver?
3. How will the defense adapt to the new scheme brought in by Ryan?
4. Can they get to the quarterback on defense?
New York can easily be the worst team in our division or finish in second. It all hinges on the QB's play.
New England
1. Is Brady ready?
2. Can their aging veterans hold up another season?
3. Who will step up in the secondary?
That's about it for the Pats*. This team will be scary if Brady returns like the Brady we all know and hate.
Having said all of that, I haven't even touched on the coaching aspect of the game, where the Bills are most likely the worst at in the East. Our only hope is that Ryan is even worse than than Jauron, if that's possible.
Buffalo needs a lot to go our way if we hope to compete for the AFC East title. Who knows, maybe Brady and Pennington can both get knocked out for the year and the Bills can then fight it out with the Jets for AFC East supremacy.
Nice post but I feel because you know the Bills better than the rest of the AFC East your questions are more specific thus creating more questions. I do feel the Bills have the most question marks but the rest of the AFC east has some problems beyond what was stated.
-
How can you guys say we are flat out better than these teams? Not only did they have better records than us last season but they each beat us twice. I think the dolphins are going to be as good as they were last year if not better. And if Sanchez can perform the Jets could be a playoff team.
-
And you figure that had nothing to do with having the first draft choice and picking an excellent LT, and also picking up an FA QB who doesn't make a lot of mistakes and has problems throwing in windy climates because of serious arm strength issues and having him play in Miami?
To me, what they did is they had a much much easier schedule and greatly improved their personnel. Particularly at QB. The coaching (basically the Wildcat) won them, what, one or two games. And none this year, I'm betting.
If that "coaching" wins one or two extra games I will take it. That the difference between a winning and losing season.
-
The Fins did it in one AND went from last to first.
The Falcons did it too. And I would like to hear the people that say the Dolphins' season was a fluke say the same about the Falcons.
-
Our LB's are by far our most overrated group.
We need another starting DT.
Our DE's will be just as bad as last year. Odds are a an undersized rookie DE will not be huge factor.
I think we have one of the worst front 7's in the NFL. Next year's top 3 offseason priorities will be DT, DE, and LB.

Was that before or after he pulled the gun on his dad
I think we said it while he had the gun pointed at him.

Well with them drafting Sanchez & Clements still on the roster my guess is that Losman is not going to the Jets.
I will bet you season tickets that Losman does not play a down for the jets this year.
Clements is on the Jets? And he's playing QB??? Man I got a lot of catching up to do.
-
Can't say I'm upset by this. It gives us another reason to cut him.
-
Did you hear that the Bills signed T.O.?
Who the hell is Bill?
-
I would give up a 2nd.

My pet peeve with this team has been its absolute, utter inability to get off the field on third down defensively. That's been the story since '03. They cannot get off the field on big downs. If they can do that (i.e. get some heat on the quarterback and stuff a run once this century), it will go a long way.
Seriously, if there's a stat for third-down efficiency for opposing teams against the Bills defense, I'm willing to bet the Bills rank in the bottom five in the league.
I agree. But I think the reason is because our DE's have been awful nad I don't see it being much better this year.
I don't think Maybin will contribute very early on and Schobel is only getting older. And as far as I know Chris Kelsay is still Chris Kelsay. I guess we'll have to rely on Buffalo's 2008 sack master, Ryan Denney.
-
If trent can't get it done this year than he never will.
-
9-7 is a possibility? So is 16-0, or 0-16. I hate these stupid predictions.
-
Someone on here guaranteed the Maybin pick, saying he was close with someone that worked at OBD.
