You guys in SD have El Niño coming. Get ready for lots of rain and mudslides. Still climate is probably changing to Saudi Arabia over long term.

Just a disappointment to see a team with this kind of talent being misused. I'm not panicked, because I don't have any real expectations now. Just going to watch football until there is a reason not to.
-
Hoping all will be well and offering a prayer to that effect!
-
Best wishes, Bill! Your post-game post is one of my favorites.

the Patriots are doing it with Garappollo, the only problem is he stinks
Garappollo will retire before Brady gives up his job.

I know we are all pumped after kicking Fish butt yesterday, but we've all seen this movie before. Let's be in a good mood, but realistically wait until about midseason before making a real judgment on this team. We've had teams come out looking great before, only to tank the second half. That's the part I want to see improved. Will defenses try to box TT and take away his mobility and site lines? I would. Happy today, but I want to wait until mid November before setting aside the playoff dates to watch the games.

Agree w/ most all this, but didn't believe the Bills STs were better than the Fishies STs.
Agreed. Too many penalties and our punt returner can't get positive yardage. Schmidt was on today, though. Fins ST looked pretty good.

We were lucky to be so far ahead when we lost the whole right side of the OL. Hope it's not for long. Someone needs to kick Glenn's rear.

Go Seminoles!

Kept Dixon and cut Fred. Someone remind me why.

Shady needs to sit

Good break
-
Very bad call
-
Yeah, if you are going with TT as your starter, best to keep EJ who has a similar skill set to avoid completely overhauling the offense in case of injury.
-
Here's a question. I was not on this board when Thurman was cut. Was the reaction the same? I would guess not, because everyone knew it was time. This is different. FJ was cut when most of our backfield is injured. We are told they will be fine, but we haven't even been told what Karlos's problem is. I'm just not buying everything I hear from official sources. I think the Bills are better with FJ this year. I don't know about next year, but I think this move will not strengthen the team, especially on passing downs.
-
My take on "rogue" is that Whaley was the only one who really had a thing against Jackson. Who knows why that was. Could have been personal. FJ's remark suggests this. Whaley wanted to cut him preseason, but the Pegs seem to have nixed that. He finally wore them down and the owners went back into "owner mode" and signed off to cover him. As for age, he has fewer NFL carries than McCoy, who is 27. Fred is not a burner but he was still the best pass blocker and always fell forward for yardage, unlike our other backs (even with the crappy OL design last year).
-
Just watched the presser with Whaley. What a waste of time. He essentially says "it was a hard decision" but wouldn't explain his reasoning. "Competitiveness reasons?" What a load. Exactly what edge is a team going to get if he gives the reasons? Maybe it gives Fred a better chance to get hired if they don't disclose? I want him to answer the question regarding how you go into the last preseason game cutting your only healthy veteran running back. First rule of press conferences. Don't schedule one if you are not answering any questions.

Only one 1000+ yard season in his career.
Oh gee, only one in a pass-happy league....
Only one 7+ TD season in his career.
Below 3.9 YPC two of the last three seasons.
Answer for both of the above = crappy OL. What other backs have we had with better?
Oldest RB in the league.
Started later than the others too
Suck it up and buy a new jersey and get real with yourself. Nice guy, but can't play anymore.
Saturday proved this wrong
I'm sure he'll make a fine car salesman.

Speed isn't everything. Freddie squirm through holes and moves the chains. Is strong on his feet. Runs routes well and is a lock in pass protection. I'd be fine if he's cut in Lieu of a better player, but Bryce Brown hasn't proven to be that.
^^^^ This, this, this. My question is why all the Bryce Brown love on this board? Coaches manage the game, but fans actually watch it. Fred brings intangibles such as those mentioned above. What other back that we have has such a nose for blitz pickup and making something of nothing?
-
Hmm. ALL the TEs looked bad? What's the common factor here.... Oh yeah, we don't have a freaking QB.
-
We have to remember that we needed a QB and there wasn't much out there in that draft in foresight. I watched EJ as an FSU fan and he's still the same. He can win some with his legs but lose them with his arm and bone-head decisions.
BTW FSU took a few years off to make the Gators feel better. How they doing now? Oh yeah...
-
Since I live in S. Florida, it was an easy answer!
-
I've been watching O'Leary for his whole college career. He will struggle at first in the NFL, due to his lack of quickness, but he's very smart and will find a way to succeed in time. At FSU he would disappear for long stretches and then "bang" he makes a game winning catch and run. He's a real football player and I'm glad he is on the Bills.

Isn't Todd Collins a bit old by now?

Bill, a most hearty welcome back. Just got home from Mass and was so pleased to see your post. Best wishes to you!
On the game.. the Jags are so bad, they let us back into the game. The D was very good today, except that last series. Jags made some good plays (and the refs helped big time).
I had really hoped that EJ would find himself in the NFL but I've not seen an average college QB become great at the pro level. Brady went under the radar, but had all the tools all along. No one noticed, it seems.
We so badly need safeties. I really think that's the biggest problem on defense at the moment. Also, either use the talent you have creatively or rebuild the defense as you want it. Can't have both.
I hoped that a change of venue would bring out a competent Ryan, but it apparently hasn't. We are now last year's Jets.
A fan does not have to be a masochist. I continue to root for the Bills but I have so many other things to do on a Sunday, that I won't carve out time for them for a while. I hate being mad and behind on things at the same time.
