Only threw to Gragg those two times all game. What the highlights don't show is that I ran about 25 times for 170 with CJ and Fred. I basically only keep plays of 10 plus yards, scoring plays, and defensive loss plays. I was up way too much to care about the safety, but I don't know what he was doing there, computer ran me into the endzone. The unis were a custom one I made with the AFL throwback jerseys and the road blue pants. Inevitably, one of the top 3 WRs will be hurt and Goodwin will slide right in to the slot. In the meantime I'll just keep improving his route running and catching through the practices.

Maybe it will go like this? 32 man Sim Style League Highlights.

So obviously you guys aren't golfers. That's clearly a sea serpent, not a dragon.

Are you sure you don't just want to sit EJ the whole season so he has a whole year to prepare for the NFL and not risk injury?

Home division game against the best team in our division. If your best QB is healthy enough to play you play him. PERIOD. Division games are too valuable. To suggest you sit him no matter what, suggest that we throw in the towel on season before a regular season snap even occurred. I'm not down with that at all.

Cincy can't be a surprise pick when they have been to the playoffs two years in a row and most people are selecting them to win the division.

Looking at his track times, I believe we already have someone faster in Goodwin.

While the whites are better in my opinion, it would be nice to see the reds once a year.

Our best option at TE is a 4 WR set with CJ.

I like the chants when one side of the stadium does one part and the other does the other part. 1/2 the stadium going "E" and then the other half replying "J" would be pretty sweet. It's done at a lot of college stadiums.

I believe you are thinking of just a serviceable kicker or punter and are drastically underestimating the importance of the kicking game. Sure a kicker or punter would probably possess the kicking strength to handle the other's responsibilities, but an NFL kicker/punter possess accuracy which is what sets them apart from everyone else. Consistently hitting FG's over 40 yards and consistently punting the ball inside the 20 is the difference and those two skills win ball games. If it were an easy thing to do/learn, then teams would have certainly done it by now, but it's not. They obviously feel the sacrifice in one aspect of the game is not worth the reward of the extra roster spot. Same with the long snapper, accuracy, accuracy, accuracy. Most the these guys don't even block, rather just get in the way for a split second, it's a very difficult skill to master. And as the other poster mentioned, one bad snap could easily mean the game.

Would have loved to check out the article, but every time I see an article is broken into more than 2 pages I don't read it out of principle. So annoying.

Just wondering if the OP wanted us to tank last season for Geno Smith as well?

I believe that it would be very difficult to legitimately argue that the NFC is not clearly the better conference at this point. The Pack, 49ers, Seahawks, Bears, Vikings, Giants, Redskins, Cowboys all seem to be very strong teams each of which could make a nice run. However, to me the Contenders in AFC paint a much different picture: Dolphins - I'm not sold at all on Tanny and believe that they severely overpaid for their FA purchases this off season. While a strong defense will keep them in a playoff spot hunt, they are by no means a powerhouse. Pats - Yes, they still have Tommy Boy, but the hits that they took at the WR/TE spots are certainly going to have some impact. Not nearly as intimidating as they were the last 5+ years to me. Baltimore - Is it even possible to lose more impact players from your team in one off season? Flacco and Rice are going to have to carry a depleted defense which lost not only significant talent, but invaluable leadership in Ray Ray and Ed Reed. A tough hill to climb for sure. Cincy - I'm sorry, but Dalton just doesn't have what it takes to be a great QB. Can't see him amounting to anything more than a Wild Card type QB. Pittsburgh - It seems that the wear and tear for Big Ben's style of play is catching up to him in recent years. Injury issues, decreased production, and lost targets should hurt them. Also, their defense has simply looked old as of late. Indy - A rare team on the rise in the AFC. Luck is legit and will be an issue to deal with for years to come. Texans - Matt Schaub simply is not getting it done. All you have to do is look at all of the talent on this team on both sides of the ball, yet they still don't make a run in the playoffs. No Super Bowl this year and I'm willing to bet they are seeking a QB in the offseason. Denver - The pre-season favorite is already dealing with the possible loss of Miller for a few games, starting Center out for the season, and a nagging high ankle sprain on one of their better CBs. Not a good start to the season, but still the clear AFC favorite in my mind. However, they are one big hit to Peyton away from being pretty much irrelevant. Kansas City - I look at it this way, if Alex Smith and Andy Reid were such valuable commodities, then they would still be in SF and PHI respectively. I'm not buying what they are selling. Seems to me the window for the Bills is opening more and more in the AFC with every passing day. It may not be this year, but the future is looking bright. In fact, the Earth may completely shift on its axis as I feel like the Browns have one of the bigger upsides in the AFC as well. Starting to feel like the mid-late 80s.

Says the guy who uses Avenged Sevenfold as his user name. Metal Rules! Ha!

Hum, I liked it. Also liked the Goodwin, Woods, Alanso, and Gilmore one from last year.

I like this one better. I even started liking that terrible song by the end of it! http://youtu.be/QYRCkpnnlIs

Mario Williams never was and never will be a leader on this team. He is a quite, soft spoken man who is paid to do one thing, disrupt the passing game. I don't care if he doesn't practice a single down in training camp as long as he's ready to go week 1. He doesn't need the practice, he needs a healthy body. I think that you guessing he's a head case has absolutely zero basis on fact.

My thoughts exactly.

Not a Bills one, but I've always enjoyed "Wilfork for Food"

There, fixed it for you.

You are absolutely incorrect here man. These Universities, through the NCAA, conspired to keep the wages (i.e. scholarships and modest allowance) to their money making machines limited, not at what the market would allow in a free system. Since there is no other real alternative for these "employees" to get paid for their services, since they are banned from the NFL, it is a clear violation of their right to work, earn money, earn a living, while the Universities, the apparel companies, TV and news outlets, profit hand over fist over their work.

It's about time. I look at it like this. NCAA is nothing more than an illegal monopoly over football for players between HS and 3 years out. They illegally restrict the ability of these adults to make a living which is in direct conflict with every Americans "unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." Since most of these schools are Public University, the denial of these rights are even more intrusive then say if it were done by a private company. Free market place, fellas. These schools and these athletes should be able to do whatever they want.

Agreed 100%.

It's definitely nice to get a different conversation going around here, no doubt. On the Jets front, if you actually watch Geno Smith highlights (not to mention complete games) you will easily see that most of his yardage and big plays came from short screens and shuffle passes to his array of nasty weapons. His attitude, leadership qualities, aloofness, and misleading numbers led me to believe that he is just the continuation of the debacle that has become the Jets, and I love it. Way back when, when Geno skipped the Senior Bowl I mentioned in that thread that he is really only a 50/50 shot at being a first rounder and that it was a mistake to skip the Bowl. Plenty of posters claimed I was nuts at that time and that he was a lock to go in the first, if not first overall. Well, we all know how that played out. So, don't worry about being called nuts or crazy, maybe you'll be able to smirk when it's all over as well!
