I have not logged in for a decade, and I am pretty disappointed he's gone.

I can't believe someone actually played.

Good point, haha. I have to respectfully disagree with this one. I think its impossible for either of us to speculate too much as to how our line will look come game day. We have admittedly been running a fairly vanilla defense in the pre-season, and having gone to a 4-3 in the Detroit game, its obvious we're being mysterious with it. That being said, I'm not sure how I stand on our D-Line pressure. Personally, I believe that the player who stands the best chance to get constant QB pressure is going to be John McCargo, its just a matter of getting him on the field. I like Stroud at the end, but I'm going to have to say that he is going to be in there to fill up some holes in the run game on the outside moreso than he will be in there to get pressure on the QB. I know we're not looking for sacks with our D-Line, but two of the three starters have a bad track record against the run, and it sounds to me more and more that we'll be playing some 4-3.

You guys are laughing at the wrong part. It says we have the better DL.

I clicked on your link... someone had this to post: Even if that guy is all alone (which he is not, I read a few others who shared his opinion), they actually seem way more down to earth and realistic in their posts than we have.

I don't get it. Why do you feel the need to let us know you told the guy who wrote this article that some message board didn't like it? I don't think anyone has any personal hatred for the local media. Jealousy perhaps, but enough with this personal attack business. Your job is to have things read by a mass amount of people. Criticism is in the job description. At no point did any of the posts cross the line of general disagreement for the article, and actual hatred for its author. Some people are going to dislike certain aspects of your profession. Having read books by some journalist legends like Robert Novak, I'm under the impression that in the old days, they would've loved the attention it brought to their work. If I were a sports writer, I'd make it my sole obligation to write a controversial piece in order to spark debate centered on my article. Getting your work noticed has got to be the first priority. So why is it that when a relatively harmless insult is made on a local article, you felt the need to come out of your TBD retirement?

But its not loser thinking to wish the team to lose?

Actually, as far as sport teams message boards go, I'm very surprised at the above average level or grammar and insightful posts (also complete sentences and lack of children). I think there are childish fans out there on these boards, but if you just go to a Raiders message board for example, its difficult to read, hard to follow, and filled with ridiculous images, long rap lyric signatures and swearing. Sure we're a negative bunch... It's easy to get down on the media when your team has been below average for 10 consecutive seasons.

5'8, 199, 4.46 40 time, 78 receptions and 2,000 offensive yards for 2009. Watch out Larry Centers. *Edit: For the record, Le'Ron McClain was Baltimore's "Pro Bowl Fullback" last year. Honest mistake?

Just last season Derek Anderson beat us with 27 yards. So, he needs at least that.

peace, yo

Care to explain the last 7 years of the Bills-Patriots* series?

So...you agree that it would be a valid point. In so many words you just admitted to being negative for the sake of being negative.

Nope it was money related. Ralph is cheap, blah blah blah, etc. etc.

How? Seriously, how is it possible that you fail to see his point? You might not agree with it, but surely it followed some pretty basic logic.

I think what he's saying though, is that, if you're going to fault our scouting department, etc. the best example probably isn't Levi Brown. As other have stated, he's a 7th round pick. I liked him too initially, but I think it was because he was the only thing new to a group of QB's that I had little or no respect for. In the end, it looks like Gailey decided Edwards is actually not completely shot after all. Gailey can't be spending time developing 3 quarterbacks at once. If Levi came in and just beat the world out there, maybe we'd be having a different conversation, but because he didn't (and he wasn't exactly drafted to), we cut him. Blaming the scouting department or Chan Gailey is rather silly.

Or, more likely, Levi Brown just wasn't that good.

PTR, didn't you know that they kept Jones over Jackson because of money? I mean why do you think they let go Hardy?!

Wait. Why would he apologize to the AD?

Logout, close your browser. Click on the link, and if you're still logged out, it will prompt you to login, and you'll be directed to your my pools list and there should be two.

I'm not sure if this is what he meant, but the tbd2 pool link brings up a pop-up window that says: "Oops !! This is a private pool and You are not invited to view this one." Thanks so much for setting this up. Last year was fun.

Letterman better watch out.
