True, but that was the old regime

Awesome. I actually love that color scheme. I wish we would go will all black uniforms- helmet and all, but the charging buffalo. It would look good. Ha, that's pretty awesome. Wish we could get him! Regarding that logo, I actually love color scheme. Reminds me of an idea I had not too long ago about new uniforms. I'd like to see all black uniforms, with a thin red white blue stripe down the sides of the legs. Helmet would be all black, but still with the charging bufflao.

1. If Fitz continues to improve as the rest of the O improves, there is no reason why he couldn't be considered a blue chip QB. 2. I don't think that Eli will ever be considered a top 20 QB when his career is over. A very good QB, yes but not top 20. 3. I think Fitz's ceiling could be very Eli-esque..... and that's a very good thing for us If Chan and Buddy really feel that he could be a winning QB for us, then by all means, draft D. The rest of the season will really show us what we have in Fitz. He played a strong Jets team with only a week of practice, and tore up a sleeping Ravens defense. He's looked pretty good so far, but now that there is plenty of film available on Fitz and Co., let's just see how things go against Pittsburgh the Jests and Miami. If he looks good in those games, I'll be more than satisfied with him as our #1 going forth.

Never thought of it that way. This is awesome. Just imagine if we had a defense.... even a middle ranked one! ALTHOUGH, I remember back during the Rob Johnson days, Bob Matthews wrote a piece that basically said if RJ's stats were extrapolated over a 16 game season, he'd be a sure vote for the pro bowl. Still though, I say that Fitz has much more of that IT factor that RJ ever did. I'm happy with Fitz as our starter.

Physically, I think Fitz is an above average QB (think B- C+). His guts and leadership are what make him sparkle though and those two qualities make him a B+ QB. The reason why he's called a journeyman is that he's played on crappy teams and never looked very good. Along comes Chan, who knows how to build an offense and suddenly Fitz looks pretty OK! Chan is kinda like Bob Vila. He's knows what he's doing and provides the offense all the tools that they need to do the job. That's why we are seeing such an improvement this year. To continue my analogy, Dick Jauron and Trent Edwards were like an illiterate trying to learn how to build a deck by reading ask.com. The illiterate dosen't know how to read/use the tools, and the tools/ask.com suck. Next year, as we bring more talent into B'lo, I expect that Fitz will only improve (assuming that he's still the starting QB). His biggest problem is accuracy and this should improve with a more sustained run game and better protection (assuming we draft a RT).

Trent Edwards also had 4 TDs against the fins a few years back IIRC

We also need a kicker

My Portuguese isn't that good yet! I've settled for watching/listening on ATDHE.net. Its not great because it cuts out every so often, but it something!

not working. Says content is restricted in my area (brazil). that sucks

What about just radio. My connection isn't fast enough to support video. Do any sites just stream the audio?

Well said

Is it just me, or did anyone just lose ATDHE.net. cant get any of the games to work.

http://sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/news/story?id=5780262 Not a good head coach, but certainly a great DC. Wish he left Buffalo on better terms! He could do wonders for our D!

By no means am I a godlike football know-it-all, but now that we've almost reached the half way point of the season, I was hoping to get a consensus feeling regarding the performance of our 1-3 round 2010 draft picks from some of the more football gifted minds on TSW. I've been pretty busy with work have to settle for watching most Bills games via internet stream. I also don't get a chance to read TBD like I should What are your thoughts and opinions regarding Spiller, Troupe and Carrington. My thougts: 1. Spiller- Everyone says he has great talent I'm sure is the case, but why aren't we using him more? Yesterday was one game that I did happen to catch and I was happy to hear the announcers say that Spiller seems to be making progress, that he no longer looks to hit a home run every time and takes what the D gives him- Thats great, but c'mon. We need to see more out of this guy. Why else did we draft him at number #9? Wilson and Nix both said that we needed a home run player- so lets use him! 2. Troupe- Saw him involved on a number of positive plays yesterday, but generally speaking, he seems to be having a quiet season. On one hand that is understandable since DLine is a tough position to learn for young guys. On the other hand, you expect your 1st and 2nd round picks to have an immediate impact. Whats going on here? 3. Carrington- How many games has this guy actually dressed for? Why isn't he playing more? I guess in general, I'm just worried about the lack of impact that our 1-3 rd picks are having? Makes me wonder what our scouting dept really does. Please tell me that I'm being overly concerned for nothing... PLEASE. GO BILLS!

+1 for content +1 for sarcasm Not to mention, what kind of signal would signing Moss send to potential free agents- next year, should there be a season? To me, such an action smacks of whimsical cluelessness. If I was a potential FA signee, I would want to see some type of commitment from the Bills that they were serious about winning, and not just selling jerseys and tickets.

ESPN says that Aaron Rogers could play on Sunday, but he's coming off a concussion. Big Ben had a great year last year but might be rusty. Who would you start in your FF league. Mods, feel free to move this topic Thanks

Thanks

any place that we can listen online?

Donald Trump will buy the team. His vision is to have a stadium on the US side of the falls. He will build a casino and hotel close by. Kelly has gone on record several times saying that he has a group of buyers lined up. I believe that the Donald is part of that group. Hopefully Jimbo is not bluffing. He would be pretty stupid to give us that kind of hope if it were based on nothing, so I have a high degree of confidence in what he says. Besides, Trump and Kelly go back a ways, and Trump IS a fan of the Bills.

Any chance we can somehow get joque bell back? I like jackson, but he can't have more than 2 seasons left.

Horrible Idea. The season is lost. 3-4 is the direction that they are heading long term. Practice it now so we can improve quicker in the long term. PS. Troupe really needs to come up to speed quickly. His performance worries me. 1st and 2nd round picks are supposed to be contributors!

+1. Also our draft class from this year is NOT looking good at all.

I'd be all for trading Whitner, Evans and Jackson. Maybe we could roll them into a package deal and get a 5th rounder for all three. Just kidding. Freddy is worth at least a 4th

No he was around for the "Maybin Draft", but It's hard to place very much responsibility on him for that draft since other people had more say than he did. Sadly though, the way it's looking now, other than Maybinot, that draft seems much stronger than this years. Seriously, with the exception of Spiller (and excluding our injured rookies), who did we get?

Although I thought going into the season we were an 8-8 team- our poor performance on the field is not what's really troubling me. Whats bothering me is the play of our rookies. Nix is supposed to be a draft wizard. He's now been with the Bills (this time around) for 2 drafts, yet who do we have to show for it??? Spiller, Wood, Levetre, Byrd maybe. The Jury is still out on all of these players. Sure Spiller has talent, but this year's abortion of a team isn't exactly the perfect show case for him. Wood and Levetre- they appear to be solid at times but would certainly look better if we had decent tackles. Byrd was electric last year but has done nothing this year. I hope he's not a one year wonder. I think I would feel much better about Nix (and the direction he has us heading) if Troupe and Carrington show a remarkable improvement. In my opinion, those are two players that we needed to make an immediate impact. Troupe was drafted with the expectation that he could develop into a NT. Is it possible that we reached on him???? If we were to get production (or significant improvement from those two) then I think we'd be in good shape. That would mean Nix took the best player available in Spiller (who will be a gem for us in the future) and filled the NT and DE position in 1 draft- not too shabby. But if their lack of production continues, then we'll go into this draft largely in the same place we were last year. I'm very worried!
