Chan also said he is "excited" about what Parrish is going to bring to the offense. That will ruffle some feathers around here -- you know, the crowd who "know" Roscoe can't cut it as a WR simply because the knuckleheads who have been designing game plans for the past four years have had their heads up their butts.
Maybe CG has told Roscoe the secret of evading a defender (and not getting plastered) immediately after each catch.

Found this story online browsing around some football news...
The Cleveland Plain Dealer lists rookie Colt McCoy as one player in need of a strong showing over the final two games to make the Browns' roster.
It's exceedingly rare for an NFL team to give up on a third-round pick after one preseason, and it's hard to imagine McCoy passing through waivers. Still, McCoy has been dreadful in exhibition action (5-of-12 for 25 yards, two interceptions) and camp scrimmages while Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace have shined.
No, I dont want us to pick him up if he is put on waivers, I dont think he would make it in Buffalo. LeFevour is in danger of being cut in Chi too...this all just further illustrates how underwhelming this past QB class was and how it makes more sense to see what our guys can do this year and look at a QB next year if they falter.
This team has, by far, the worst QB roster in the league---and they are gonna dump their 3rd round pick in camp? What a mess!
The hype for next year's crop of QBs is already deafening. It's crazy.

Yes...so can we FINALLY now put the stupid "hes wearing gloves becuase hes afraid of the cold" claptrap to rest?
Why is it manly for every player other than the QB to wear gloves all season? Isn't he the only one handling the ball on every play? Can't he decide if it's in his best interest to use a glove for better grip?
This is the dumbest criticism ever leveled against a QB.

Thought this looked familiar!
WTF??
What's next---a thread about ESPN's anti-Bills bias?
-
According to an article (I think it was by Ross Tucker) on the relative importance of each OL position, RG was the most important interior OL spot. So putting Wood there makes the most sense.
I suppose other OL experts may have different opinions, the Tucker article made sense.
Wasn't Ross Tucker a RG?
-
To phrase it better, they both played on talent offenses. But Trent was a guy who didn't produce a lot but was thought to have upside and MIGHT be a good investment as a 3rd rounder. Locker has produced and talent wise is thought of one of the most physically gifted QBs in a very long time.
What has Locker produced?

I know that Buffalo has been looked down upon for many years by the national media, but what the hell is up with ESPN this year? I swear Ralph must have burned one of their producers, because every analyst LOVES hating on the Bills. I know this has been discussed before, but in the past few months, our Bills have been torn apart exponentially more than ever before. I just don't understand how the think "Buffalo is on the clock". The Bills are NOT THAT BAD!
-We have a better coaching staff
-Many of our players have another year of experience
-We won 6 games last year, despite having half of the team on IR
-We were in almost every single game until the end last year
There are many more reasons to believe we will win more than 1 or 2 games. Feel free to give me more
Head to the many, many other threads devoted to this exact topic.

How do I see more than one page of an individual's previous posts?

To get the results as posts and not topics, you have to use the advanced search function, and choose to have the results as posts. The advanced search option is to the right of the red magnifying glass. It looks like a gear, or a "configuration" icon.
Thanks Dean.

When searching specific phrases or paraphrased quotes, the results just list the topics that match, not the individual posts.
Am I doing it wrong?

My dream for the Bills has actually been to dispense with a TE oriented O in favor of an east coast version of the Greatest Show on Earth passing oriented attack ala St. L.
Most folks reject this approach figuring that what Buffalo is all about particularly in the bad weather of December has got to be about a grind it out ground game and this means means a blocking TE style.
Fine, except that the classic St. L style actually did feature a blocking TE who was in no way a receiving target At its peaks the TEs would have zero or maybe 1 reception a year and the show came from a steady diet of three receiver sets utilizing a 1 back set to give them a 3rd WR.
The TE was simply a max protect addition since they were passing a lot with a Faulk type as the running/receiving RB.
With loss of Schuman for an unknown period of time and the loss of Nelaon for the first four games and any future problems this may be the time to formulate a Bills specific version of a wintereized St. Louis style game.
My sense is that this new version would employ our 3 very good RB with two of them lining up as a wideout from time to time. We would give up on trying to find the next Tony Gonzalez at TE as we repetitively have failed at doing and instead look for folks who are more like good H-backs (hard to find but easier than finding a Gonzalez type)
Too bad Martz wasn't available this off season.
Oh, wait...

How is this "new territory" for Losman??
His last 4 season:
Backup to Edwards on a crappy Bills team.
Out of the League and playing A ball for mortgage money.
3rd string (2 behind Jamarcus Russell!) on the awful Raiders
3rd string behind aging and brittle Hasselhoff and Charlie Somebody.
Yeah, Seattle must be a real dash of cold water on ol' JP's career aspirations.

I whole heartedly agree with this statement. IMO late camp trades won't be Buddy's style. My guess will be Schouman will go on the PUP list and a free agent vetran will be brought in. If the Vet works out Schouman will either stay on the PUP for the year or get cut. The guy can't stay healthy and IMO is not really all that good anyway.
Fitzy gets cut out right before the season starts and Brohm will be the number 2. Again... Just MHO.
What free agent veteran?
-
Like it or not, Schouman might be the best TE on the Bills roster right now, that isn't suspended. Unless of course Klopfenstein is back on the roster today. I can't keep track with that guy.
Stupar is okay but he honestly doesn't possess the all around tools that Schouman has. I just hope Schouman's injury isn't long term. Schouman's loss might be somewhat devastating to a team that is really thin at a vital position.
Nah---the Bills obviously haven't considered TE a "vital position" for a very long time.

Oh yeah!! Ba BOOM!!

Exactly what is it about me that attracts you so?
I know the thread title didn't say "back door left open" but shouldn't you be greasin' up and 'punchin' it in your own 'benchmen' buddies on...
Herring Cove ????
For a guy who devoted a pregame thread to picking the right wine to watch the game with and who regularly discusses gay hangouts, you sure spend a lot of time here questioning the sexuality of others. What are we to make of that?
What "attracts me"? I don't know-why do people sometimes just feel like shooting fish in a barrel? Your comments (like your "TE will break his hand following through on his first pass" was so awesome, you used it in 2 different threads) lend themselves to ridicule. See Albaany, N.Y.

How's your boy Graham Harrell doing, Super Scout?
Cut more times than Nicole & Ron.
Oh yeah!! Ba BOOM!!
Well put Albany.

It's 2010 and the Bills haven't had a TE catch 35 balls since 2001. But I know the QB's have had nothing to do with that.
It's because the TEs haven't been useful as receivers, i.e.:sucked.

I think once Gailey watches the game film he'll realize that Brohm should start the next game against the 1's. Like many of you, I wasn't overly impressed with Edwards except the one long pass to Evans. Brohm looked the part of an NFL QB. Calm, poised, great arm and good command.
Here's a quote that bodes well for BB:
Gailey was asked if he would consider starting Brohm in a preseason game. Buffalo’s head coach left the door open.
“Would we (consider it)? Oh sure,” said Gailey. “We’d consider using any of them that we’ve got. Yeah I’ll consider it.”

Brohm struggled to punch it in against benchmen.

Agreed on all counts. All the Edwards lovers can do is harp on the one long bomb where evans was so wide open ANY of us on the board could have hit him for a TD. Just like last week, checkdown, skiddish and in the huddle and coming to the LOS the guy is just blah. No fire, no emotion just blah. Thurman talked about this fact this offseason the guy has no fire.
I am glad we have about 50 damn good DB's because our pass rush and LB's in general flat suck. Maybe its time to trade a couple DB's away to say Baltimore and get some LB / DL help in here.
TE looked much better than last week. He was executing the called plays. Had another perfect timing pass to Johnson that would have been an easy catch if not for obvious PI.
It's "skittish", sporto.

He'll always be a rapist to me.
No charges filed. What happened between you and Sanchez may be another matter.
Do some of you think before you type?

Tampa was one of the worst franchises in all of sports before Dungy went there. Also, Manning is one of the biggest big game chokers around. They only won a SB because they got carried by their defense.
Do some of you think before you type?
Come on--Gruden won the SB with that team. He beat the team he helped build into a SB contender.
Dungy has had more opportunity to reach the SB, especially with the stacked teams he had in Indy, and failed more than any coach in the past 25 years. He has exactly one more SB appearance than Barry Switzer and the same number of rings.
Do some of you think before you type?Really? From you this is great irony.

I rewatched the redskins game last night (I know I'm a glutton for punishment) with as much of an objective eye as I could muster. While I agree we pretty much sucked, I wanted to try and figure out why we were at such a level of suckatude.
While I agree we have "talent problems" in a number of areas .... and we have "new philosophy issues" on both sides of the ball ... and even as early as the first series we had "injury issues" but something about the game just didn't sit right with me, so I had to take another look after my emotions settled down .... were we really as bad as we looked???? Was Washington really as good as they looked?????
After watching the game the second time I've come to the conclusion that the Bills approached the game just like a glorified practice against different colored uniforms ... they were looking to block a little bit ... run a little bit .... throw a little bit ... and catch a little bit while they evaluated players/gameplans/situations/etc.
The deadskins looked like they were playing a "statement game" it seemed they were throwing more varied blitz packages more often .... hitting a little harder ... running a little faster.
I really can't put my finger on exactly what it was .... it just seemed we were going through a "walk through" while they were playing with playoff type of emotion.
IMHO .... Chan is pi$$ed and the players are (or should be) embarressed about last week ... I think the Bills come out tonight with THEIR "statement game". The Colts on the other hand should be more concerned with keeping their starters healthy ....
Dare I say it???? ........ I'm looking for a BIG night from our Bills .... there I've said it (but it's still only preseason)
The skins 1st unit O played for 12 minutes. Ours played nearly the entire first half. What was the "statement" they were sending us? That they are much improved form last year and we are not?
-
Sanchez is the jets achilles heel and will lose them more games than most expect IMO. We'll see how he plays in the rest of the pre-season games but my gut tells me they won't be on top of the division come regular season. I'd pick Miami and Henne over the jets.
Because he looked so good last year and the Phins have a better team?

Just an observation from last night and a related one from last week...
Mark Sanchez appears to be the biggest douche on two feet. His QB coach (Mark Cavanaugh) was giving him a something of a pep talk and Sanchez couldn't even look at him while he was talking. He was rearranging the crap in his duffle bag and couldn't have paid less attention to his coach. Cavanaugh was telling him how to get past his mistakes...basically pick your head up, say f it, and move on. But the Sanchize couldn't be bothered with paying attention as he was dealing with the more important task of sorting his socks and orange tic tacs.
This comes on the heals of last weeks unconfortable mocking of Joe Namath. Namath was at a team meeting and was explaining to Mark how to hold your hands to recieve the snap to reduce fumbles. Mark again couldn't look at the man and was snickering under his breath. Regardless of what anyone thinks of Namath, this little punk couldn't give the man a few minutes of respect?
I'm sure Jets fans everywhere are so happy that Mark feels he knows all there is to know about being a star NFL QB. I shall rejoice every time this arrogant dope tosses a pick, gets sacked, and walks off the field with his heading hanging.
Or maybe it was because Joe was prattling on: "you gotta put your thumb to your thumb, like this....or your pinky to your thumb...or your pinky to your pinky."
Joe looks awful. Betty White has a straighter spine at this point. And who dressed the guy? Shorts up to his nipples. I would be snickering too.
Pat White might be released soon.

Yeah, he should give back the rings.
Are the Jets overrated because they went to the AFCC game last year?
And who is hyping the Dolphins? They are overrated??
