  1. My concern is that while I agree with this about Taylor, and think we also got a great RB, TE, LG to go along with solid draft picks like Karlos and Darby, we are on track for the same record as last season. So while it says good things about Rex's GM instincts and Whaley as well, it doesn't speak well for him as a coach, IMO.
  2. First Incognito performs a subtle illegal chop block on Watt, going low on him while Glenn goes high. Then he lunges out and tackles the LB, grabbing him around the ankles and tripping him up. Interesting.
  3. The on line voting is a crock. You select 15 out of 21? Only 6 who don't get votes? Pretty low standard. Anyway, every year I give love to Don Coryell. I think that he was an innovator and way ahead of his time in terms of offense and the passing game. Very worthy, IMO.
  4. I agree with this. The Eagles are going to score some points. The Bills need to match them, which they can do.
  5. If the Bills run the table then I think they have a good chance. It's not guaranteed but probable. Of course the chances of the Bills running the table is another matter...
  6. He makes some big plays but some big mistakes too. He's learning though. I think he's very solid for a #3 safety but he's not consistent enough to be a starter, IMO.
  7. Mario certainly has the ability to play 3-4 DE but I don't think he wants to so that will play into this as well. And actually, he's the 3-4 best fitting DL that they have. They don't have anyone big enough to play NT and K Williams and Dareus are not fast enough to be ideal DEs, IMO. That would mean starting over with the DL basically.
  8. Maybe he should start getting fitted for his gold jacket in the offseason.
  9. When the Bills switch defenses again in another year he will be right back on top, so might as well try and keep him.
  10. At this point I would have more confidence in Chan Gailey or Dick Jauron than Rex Ryan.
  11. No. The Bills are going to blow it up in the off season.
  12. The Bills haven't made the playoffs in 15 years. The players on their team are not very good. How good can their cast offs possibly be?
  13. Here is a report on the NFLs most recent information on how football affects the brains of retirees: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/11513442/data-estimates-3-10-nfl-retirees-face-cognitive-woes This is from the league, mind you NOT players or families.
  14. CTE rate in the general population for men under 75 is 5%. As opposed to 96% for the above tested players.
  15. So the fact that 87 out of the 91 NFL players tested to date had CTE doesn't concern you?
  16. Taylor good: deep ball accuracy; poise; mobility Taylor adequate: overall accuracy; arm strength Taylor needs work: making quick reads and throwing on time; pocket awareness. If Taylor was a rookie, I'd say that he looked very promising. However, he is a five year vet so my optimism is tempered somewhat. I know that he hasn't played much so maybe there is still room for growth but how much remains to be seen. I think his pocket awareness should improve with more game experience (if he doesn't get killed first), but I wonder about his ability to make quick reads and throw short & intermediate routes on time. That is something that he really should have learned by now if he's ever going to get it.
  17. Nice maintenance department.
  18. No. Kickers are the kind of thing you pick up at the checkout line, not with a high draft pick.
  19. Exactly why the FB is a dying position in the NFL.
  20. It's amazing what a good defense and a great QB will do for your chances to win games in the NFL.
  21. Rob needs to lay off the twinkies if he wants to last another 10 years. Wow.
  22. Generally agree with Gilbrides take on Taylor and on the obvious Pat* game plan this week. Now we'll see if the Bills can do anything about it. I think that Clay is probably the key guy in being able to move the ball. A few big plays to him would open up the running game too.
  23. Should be the equipment staff. Wouldn't mean anything though. One of them has a brother-in-law that's from Massachusettes so it's all part of Rex's standard procedure.
  24. To see how good the team is.
  25. Offense is better, defense and ST are worse. Since the new HC is a defensive specialist and their defense has underperformed, I think you can question if they are better coached. Not to mention all the discipline and time management problems. At this point they look no better than last year's team. I don't know if they're ready to do it but they really need a statement win to prove otherwise, IMO. 10 games is a pretty good sample size.
