    what i find amusing is that Lee Evans, week after week, says far more brutaly honest comments, that could be considered inflamatory than T.O. does. Lee has been speaking frankly for years, way before T.O. arrived. Yet i never see Lee Evans comments picked up by the national media. I'm not complaining about Lee, i actually look forward to his comments because i feel he is the only Bill who freely speaks his mind, i'm just making a comparison..... T.O. could roll his eyes or sit with his arms folded on the bench and it gets the media spotlight.

     

    Although misguided, T.O. is actually trying to behave here in buffalo, sort of the less said the better approach, but that never works either. Many in the media are absolutely trying to trip him up, no matter what he says, someone will twist it into a negative. You would think that at this stage of his career, T.O. would be much more media savvy. Having said all that, i still blame T.O. 100 % for the circus around him, the words are coming out of his mouth and i assume he is in total control of who his agent and PR people are. Get some better advisors.

     

    As far as his play on the field, anyone who commands constant double-teaming is a superstar. Yes he has dropped a couple passes, so has just about every other WR in the league. I fault COACHING, where are the simple timing 5 yard down and outs, the ball is in your face the moment you turn around plays to our WR's. This forces the DB's to play up closer, giving them a better chance to double move and beat them long. When a team (especially with the talent we have) only attempts 2 of 34 passes longer than 16 yards, that is a coaching staff NOT playing to win.

    Finally some news on McCargo...

    McCargo is a BUST !!......can he turn it around ?...anythings possible, the league is filled with success stories......he fell out of favor with his last D-line coach because he sucked....err, was ineffective. he was NEVER double teamed, he was easily handled by one blocker, he got zero "push". i think his main problem is STRENGTH/MUSCLE or lack thereof. that is fixable with the proper commitment to nutrition and training (and for some, HGH).....will he do it ?.....who knows. maybe he was injured, it was serious enough to nix a trade with indy. maybe he is motivated to prove he can play in this league and get another contract. i say he will NOT play like a first round pick (therefore a bust) and is still very likely to be traded or cut, the bills have tipped their hand, they don't want him, now all they are doing is trying to make him look and sound attractive to another team.

    Sporting News Ranks Stroud

    It's worth saying:

     

    Ngata could've been a Buffalo Bill. But as we've been told ad nauseam, he didn't fit the Jauron system. Two years after wasting a pick on a DT and selecting a DB who is above average but not spectacular (because he doesn't have the players around him) Buffalo traded 2 picks for Stroud.

    witner is a nice player, but Ngata would have been a much better pick.

    Golisano leaving WNY

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    #1 - Golisano does NOT have the wealth needed to own an NFL franchise.

     

    #2- he already is a crappy owner of the Sabres who will NOT spend to the cap. thereby significantly hindering our ability on the ice.

     

    #3- his decision to take up residence in FL is understandable, saving millions every year in state taxes. too bad the NY politicians don't know how to grow jobs.

    The Patriots* are CHEATERS. They* are a disgrace to the league. I think an asterisk should be permantly engraved into every one of the Patriots* Super Bowl Trophies and take their rightful places next to Barry Bonds home run asterisk ball. Bill Bilicheat* should have been suspended and banned for life. That infraction was only the tip of the iceberg. The Patriots* illicit videotaping tactics were far more systematic and deliberate than what the NFL has acknowledged.

     

    here are some details that have not been revealed by the league. Mr. Walsh says he was instructed to say he was filming “tight shots” or filming highlights if another team asked why the Patriots* had an extra camera. The red light on Mr. Walsh’s camera was broken to conceal that he was recording. If Mr. Walsh was asked why he was not filming the play on the field, he was supposed to indicate that he was filming the down marker. During the American Football Conference championship game in 2002, against the Steelers, Mr. Walsh was instructed not to wear the Patriots* logo.

     

    I hate them cheating Patriots* with a passion......and as such, i should be granted full dispensation and allowed to participate in this wonderful contest as if i had joined prior to Jan 1, 2009.....

    Glenn Dorsey is available for the right price

    According to Kansas City Star writer Jason Whitlock, Chiefs first-round pick Glenn Dorsey has been a bust through seven weeks.

     

    Whitlock says Dorsey's footwork is "horrid" and his first step is "slow and often misdirected." The numbers back up Whitlock's assertion. Dorsey has no sacks and KC's run defense surrenders an NFL worst 6.4 yards per carry.

    This article says that he has 18 mil guaranteed left...AND KC would be on the hook for all of it.

     

    You guys think this is true? I can never trust writers anymore on salary cap issues (or contract terms of that matter) because they are so complicated that I don't think even Roger Goodell knows.

     

    I don't think KC would have ever considered trading him at any price if they had 18 mil on their books they couldn't get rid of....I think most teams would trade away any number of picks if they could get their hands on 18 mil.

     

    Besides, DT struggle in their first year, and I think Dorsey has enormous upside. And why can't they fit him in their new system, because he's not a NT? I'm so sick of teams throwing away good players because they don't fit the system. Build a damn system around your players!

     

     

    first of all....KC is NOT on the "hook" for the guaranteed money, unless they want to be.......you are confusing signing bonus and guaranteed money...two completely seperate things. in that potential trade with Atlanta, the falcons were demanding that KC remain responsible for the guaranteed portion, which was an option if BOTH sides agreed to that. Without such agreement, whatever guaranteed money remaining on the deal, goes with him to the new team if a trade is made. If KC just flat out "cut" him, then they are responsible for the remaining guaranteed money. KC would probably keep him before they ate the guaranteed money.

     

    lets just say hypothetically he signs a 5yr/$50mil deal with $23 guaranteed. Lets say he got $10 mil signing bonus leaving $40 mil left. his pay could be structured as $1 mil first year ($11 mil cash) all guaranteed, $8mil second year with $6 mil guaranteed, $9 mil third year with $6 mil guaranteed , $10 mil fourth year with no guarantee. and $12 mil fifth year no guarantee. they guaranteed $23 mil in first 3 years. he could be cut in 4th year.

     

    take albert haynesworth contract....7yr/ + $100 mil.......he will only see 4 years of that deal paying a total of $48mil for a $12 mil per year average. his salary in year 5 is $29 mil....lol...he will never see it and be cut after 4 years.

    kelly's home NOT bought by Marshawn

    I have heard from someone who says that while the developer is buying the house, it is being leased to Marshawn's mother. Can't say if it's true, but it might be what added to the confusion.

     

    This person who told me this has reason to know, but I'd prefer not to out them as it could cost them their job.

     

    i ABSOLUTELY believe some hanky panky is going on.....

    The main reason the Bills will leave the Buffalo area....

    THE BILLS ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE......

     

    #1- Short term- if we continue to sellout all home games.

     

    #2- Long Term- thanks to the shrewed marketing of the Bills Front Office they are turning this franchise into a mid to large market with their regionalization of the Toronto, Ontario market. I can not emphasize enough the importance of this effort. Embrace it , support it, it's the ONLY thing that will keep the team saying BUFFALO !!
