  1. What if my aunt had balls? She'd be my uncle...

     

     

     

    I disagree. Reich's comeback is hard to beat.

     

    Look, teams beat teams that they have no business beating all the time. A few seasons ago, when the Bills dismantled NE in the first game of the season, we weren't supposed to win that one, either. I admit that it's going to be tough to beat a well-coached, well-QB'd team, but consider the X factors in play here:

     

    1. What if AVP got into Trent's head and jammed a little swagger in there?

     

    2. What if Jackson and Oman play out of their minds to take advantage of this once-in-a-career opportunity?

     

    3. What if those checkdowns that everyone is griping about work against a weak Pats secondary (see item 2) ?

     

    4. What if Maybin, Kelsay, and Schobel all feel--for different reasons--that they have something to prove on national TV vs. the Patriots* and Hoodie?

     

    5. What about the T.O. factor? My god, what if he wreaks havoc in the secondary? He's so scary talented, YOU could throw a pass up to him and he'd make something out of it.

     

    Call it dreaming, call it too much adrenaline on opening day, but just don't discount all of these unknowns. If these guys ratchet up their game because it is (1) opening day, (2) national tv, (3) against the Pats*, who knows what could happen. Tell you what--if the Bills win tonight, I will put it in a tie for first with Reich's game.

  2. It doesnt matter if it was first or second teamers being double teamed is the same. My point is why is it that other teams dont care if their #1 guy is double covered and continue to throw his way and the Bills just say "sh*t, they are taking lee away. I guess we better not throw his way".

     

    BTW for the 8 million a year he is being paid, he should be able to beat double teams.

  3. Anyone at the game notice that CJ was doubled teamed everytime he was on the field? He still managed 3 or 4 catches for about 70 yards and a called back TD with a rookie QB. Makes you wonder how good is Lee Evans really is when he can be taken away with constant double teams.

  5. Terrell Owens, WR, Buffalo: Tell me how he produces big numbers in this offense and in this city. In Dallas, weather wasn't much of a factor in November and December. Here it is. That's why the Bills run the ball, and that's why Owens won't like it. Trent Edwards, look out.

     

    Demetrius Bell, T, Buffalo: There is no way to measure how enamored the Bills are with Bell. They would like him to develop but might not be able to wait. Remember Jason Peters? The Bills have him again in Demetrius Bell.

     

    Lee Evans, WR, Buffalo: The Bills took a flyer on Owens partly because of his talent and mostly because they think he can open up things for Evans. Evans is the premier receiver here, not T.O. He had an OK year last season, not a great one, and it's time he moves to the next level -- which means it's time he scores more than three times. Evans is one of my favorite interviews, someone who is always there when you need him. I hope he serves the same purpose for Trent Edwards.

  6. I think there is a misunderstanding...they both suck IMO...lol

     

    My only point was that we literally lost the Dallas game and the Cleveland game because of Trent. Trents INT for a TD lost us that Dallas game when we were about to score late in the game...if he doesnt throw the INT for a TD the Cowboys cant win...

     

    The Cleveland game could have been won with even bleow average QB play...but Trent was beyond bad that game and we lost...it wasnt just his 3 INT's, it was his deer in the headlights all game. He made the Cle D look like the Steel Curtain was reborn...

     

    it acutually wasnt a pick 6. it was intercepted by newman and lee evans caught him somewhere around the 20 and romo proceeded to throw his 3rd pick of the game to john digiorgio i believe.

  7. you guys are thinking way to much into this. if you read the original post closely; "Sorry if this has been posted before, oh fellow Wallers, but I had never heard of it before. I was flipping through one of my fantasy football magazine and they rank the starting CBs in terms of how many times they were targeted, how many TDs they gave up and their percentage of being burned with one-on-one coverage in 2008". the rankings are based soley for the purposes of FANTASY FOOTBALL rankings not who are the best corners in the NFL.

  8. One of the most intriguing training camp stories this summer is the effect of Terrell Owens on the Buffalo Bills.

     

     

    Any questions?

    Have a question for John Clayton? Connect with him here.

     

    The Bills gambled on Owens because he can open up things for fellow receiver Lee Evans and quarterback Trent Edwards. Last season, defenses doubled Evans and took away the running game, and the offense couldn't do anything.

     

    Grant from Buffalo, N.Y., wonders whether the Bills are spending so much time on the no-huddle offense "because the entire offensive line is being restructured."

     

    I think it's an interesting concept. During the first week of training camp, the Bills' offense didn't have one huddle on a play. Of course, that's probably good for Edwards, because he won't have to listen to Owens complaining about not getting the ball.

     

    I think the decision to go no-huddle was more because of Edwards' style of quarterbacking. He's a pocket passer who makes quick decisions. Watching this offense develop is one of the most interesting things this summer.

     

    You might not see a lot of the offense during the Hall of Fame game between the Tennessee Titans and the Bills on Sunday, because Buffalo's first-string offense won't be on the field for more than a series or two. But the early reviews are encouraging.

     

     

    Q: Do you think that the Bills can make the playoffs now that they have T.O.? I am the Bills' biggest fan and followed them through all their heartbreaks. Do you think coach Dick Jauron is too soft, and should we try to get Bill Cowher next year?

     

    From Ron in Charlotte, N.C.

     

    A: The best hope for the Bills is to make a wild-card run behind the New England Patriots. They have a chance. T.O. gives them the threat to improve their offense by an average of 4.0 points per game. Despite the Bills' tough schedule, I still believe they can improve, because I don't see them going 0-6 in the AFC East as they did last year. If they can go 3-3 in the division, they have a chance for nine wins. I don't think Jauron is too soft. Years ago, he had a 13-win season as coach of the Chicago Bears. So much of his problem is related to the talent of the team around him. Face it. The Bills can't afford a $7 million-a-year coach such as Cowher. If Jauron can make the playoffs, I think he will be safe, and we can renew the discussion about Jauron next year.

  9. If anything, DE Derrick Burgess is most likely to get a one-way ticket out of Oakland. The Raiders attempted to trade Burgess during the offseason and added two defensive ends capable of taking his place. "He is not here by his choice," coach Tom Cable said of Burgess' failure to report before the mandatory time Wednesday. Cable declined to elaborate. In the interim, the Raiders are going with veteran Greg Ellis at Burgess' left end spot. Ellis was signed earlier, fresh from a season in which he recorded eight sacks for the Dallas Cowboys. -- Oakland Tribune
