Punch

We essentially out-Belichicked Belichick with that maneuver at the end. I'm literally shaking I'm so happy!

I'd say send trannies over to the New England players' hotel the night before the game, but the Patrriots already bring their own.

I like to hear positive comments about the Bills from the national media but opinions like this truly exemplify how foolish it is to care what they say one way or another--- it's only Week 2, but isn't Fred Jackson the NFL's leading rusher with back-to-back 100-yard games? 190 yds per game as a team shows a clear commitment to the run... and shows just as clearly that these 2 knuckleheads only watched the highlights.

Not just magic... Fitzmagic.

If Parrish is only going to miss a few weeks, and Stevie's groin injury isn't major, I'm pretty sure we're fine at WR. Stevie, D. Jones, Nelson, Brad Smith, Roosevelt potentially brought back up for a few--- I'd also assume Spiller will see more action in the slot, and Chandler has lined up as a receiver, too.

I remember during the early to mid '90s the Dolphins were never outplayed by the Bills, according to the Miami players' postgame comments. They always seemed to beat themselves and let the Bills win. I could never understand why they'd do that, but it was considerate of them.

His teammates gave him the nickname, solely because of the beard. I'm not sure there's any intentional relation to the "Polish Rifle".

Did you drop the mic and walk away after posting this?

They'll be lined up alright... on the other sideline, Sunday around 1pm, wearing silver and black.

This poll thread won't make it official--- it's already as official as these things can possibly be.

I'm guessing 50-60 rushing yards by the Raiders as a whole would be generous. Considering they'll find themselves behind fairly early with all of Jason Campbell's turnovers and the ****ty Oakland secondary getting lit up. The Chiefs' effort in Week 1 will look like a contender by comparison. Bills 51 Raiders 3

I think he means grammar school as in "elementary school"--- as in "childish".

If David Martin wasn't injured then I think there's a good chance Pianalto would have been kept as the no. 3. With Martin out we aren't left with enough depth at blocking TE, which is Smith's forte.

Wasn't it implied by Gailey last year that Moats spent so much time at ILB so he could become a more well rounded player? Moving Moats back outside at some point may explain why Coleman was cut in part, even also considering Carrington at OLB.

I'm pretty content with that list for the moment, aside from Roosevelt. I preferred Kamar Aiken to Namaan, but I'd still like to see him stick around. PS players change all the time at this early of a stage, so who knows.

Chris Brown wrote about it in a blog at buffalobills.com last September when we played the Jets. Looks like it wasn't enough to keep him in the NFL!

I'd prefer if they'd just retire the numbers outright, but the NFL typically frowns on official number retirements. As it is, the Bills have publicly stated that 34, 78 and 32 are no longer issued "out of respect" for Thurman, Bruce and OJ. By continuing to issue 83 it subtly implies a lack of respect for Andre Reed, regardless of whether or not it's true--- I don't think the Bills organization has any ill will or disrespect for him, fwiw, but it sends that message and Reed has commented on it from time to time.

As PTR and NoSaint mentioned, he accumuated stats against camp fodder. Maybin had 3 sacks in 4 games for the Bills against scrubs during the 2010 preseason and 2 sacks in 2 games during the 2009 preseason (which actually came against starters for Pittsburgh and Detroit). Including the Chicago game this year he has 7.5 sacks in 10 career preseason games. If Dave Wannstedt, as LB coach and assistant HC for the defense, didn't feel he could be a useful contributer or had any potential then I feel just fine that his preseason stats are padded but meaningless. Aaron Maybin went to high school with Rex Ryan's children in Baltimore which I believe has more than a little to do with this reclamation project. Besides, the Jets couldn't make Vernon Gholston into an NFL player, I won't feel bad that we gave up on Mayhem.

With the NFL's willingness to allow WRs to wear numbers in the teens more frequently there's really no reason to continue giving out #83. it is just a number but it has been issued almost continuously since Andre Reed was released (Dave Moore started wearing it in 2002 and right up until Lee Evans was drafted) and it is an unnecessary slap in the face to Reed. At least that's how he's taken it publicly, and it's foolish to upset the team's greatest goodwill ambassadors, especially in such dark times for the franchise where current players are speaking out about being disrespected.

Wrong... he's gotten plenty of snaps with the Jets' 1st unit.

No amount of rambling can mask your lack of understanding. There's nothing random about it and it's not collusion. They are called exhibition games for a reason.

84 catches and 1,132 yards is actually slightly ahead of his totals for the 2010 season, sooooooooo...
