Wrong,deuce, he left OU because he was getting a paycheck from a car dealership, and wasn't actually putting in any work. The dealership happened to be a major donor to the program. We was suspended by the NCAA, so Stoops cut him. Bradford would not have played his Freshman year if Bomar was there.
Anyway, I'm not necessarily saying he is the answer in our situation, but he played well for the few minutes I watched him the other night. I can't remember who the giants were against. He will make it somewhere in the league.
Well done! How can the guy say he's heard of Bomar and not know anything about him??
Anyway---this kid looks solid. No way Giants give him up. Why on earth would they be looking to trade him?

I put up anotheer sign request on another thread, but ill do another one here. How about someone puts up a sign at the home opener that says
"Buffalo Has The Biggest Wang In The League"
Someone will point out that it just hangs there on the bench.

Who is saying it should be a dome stadium??? Not me. Retractable roof yes, with the understanding it is always open for home games no matter the weather.
Son, I have no plans on retiring.
Why does bad weather favor this Bills team? None of these guys have played much in it?

Interesting contrarian point of view in SI:

JFK to Roch flight cancelled. I asked the ticket agent if she had anything else. She said "we go Buffalo....we got Buffalo".
F*kkin Jet Blue---dissing the Bills.

We all know last year T.O. was brought in not only because of his abilities but another huge part was to increase revenue for the Bills by selling tickets because of his presence on the team and merch sales like jersey's & such .
So i started thinking, with Russ Brandon being a good sales person and knowing how to make money for the team as far as the Toronto series & all.
Have any of you thought that there may have been some thought put into bringing Wang here from the financial side of things before the pick in the draft was made or was it solely because he was a good player .
Because think about the jersey sales and financial possiblities in China ??
I hate to think that way, but in today's world greed is a motivating factor for a lot of things & seeing as Wang was the first NFL player of Chinese decent --- could they have looked at what say -- Yau Ming brought to the NBA & thought HEY JUST MAYBE ????
I for one hope that he was picked for his talent and will make our team a lot better years to come because of his ability's & not for financial gain . But i'm just sayin !!!
Basketball has been played in China for decades. Yau was a star in China before he came to the the NBA. Doubt Chinese sales of his Rockets jersey add to much. Also, easy to assume that the majority of mainland Chinese have never heard of the NFL.
If he was drafted as a marketing object, it is more likely because there are probably a billion dudes in upstate NY who would buy a "WANG" jersey--and still be snickering about it years later.
-
What....isn't this what we are doing right now?
-
It's looking like a great pick but comparing him to QBs who were drafted with him is silly at this early point.
-
ESPN still saying Cards talked to Buff re:Leinart.
-
Disagree. Yes, today's player salaries have skyrocketed beyond belief, but the fact is there is a market to support it. Keep buying your Sunday Ticket and you contribute to the high salaries. Back in Die Hard's day, those salaries were unheard of. These were just guys making a living like you or me -- they were not cashing in back in 1967.
Of course it was different, much different, in Die Hard's day. But he is defending the current NFL athlete--and asking me to be sympathetic to the plight of these guys. That's ridiculous. Any sacrifice they are making (physically) they are being very well compensated for.
This is entertainment. They are entertainers and everyone's a critic.
Waddayagonnado? Ask any of these guys---beats working.
-
Is Die Hard the same guy who got that vshare toolbar stuck on my computer??
More likely he is leaving because of a beef he had with the Mods re: copywrite stuff (see his recent post history).
Anyway...sorry, no sympathy here for the "proud, proud former college athletes". These pros are paid for those "4 years" more than most Americans will earn in a lifetime of actual hard work. Never forget they are playing a game for ridiculous money and adulation that is out of proportion to their contibution to society. They are amongst the most privileged citizens in the land. If they accept the adulation, they must accept the criticism that has accompanied all teams by fans since the beginning of organised sports. If a player can't handle the sometimes ill-informed or mean spirited postings of unsatisfied fans, well....who cares? Players come and go. The Bills and the team's fans will remain.
Enough with the dramatic exit announcements already.

Why anybody needs a $50,000 earring is beyond me.
Oh well, in about 6 years he would have been pawning it for $500 anyway. It's less pathetic this way.
-
You know, looking at his stats, I stand corrected - Anderson is also pretty bad.
And yet, he was better than and will be starting over Leinart - why do we want Leinart again? Because we can have our own slightly older version of Sanchez?
Actually, Anderson was behind Leinart until now. Also, Anderson was let go by Cleveland, the team with the worst QB roster in the league.
Fitz is a decent 3rd string option and that is it. The guy is absolutely not good. Though admittedly I can't say I'd rather have Leinart in there than Fitz. But Fitz is just a terrible QB. He does have guts and it seems he has a level head - but he is a horrendous passer and should never be counted on even in a backup role.
He was our best QB last year. He won 4 games, more than our starter. What is your point again?
-
Aaron Rodgers and Ben Rothlesberger seem to do just fine, since they were the two most sacked QBs in the NFL and were among the highest rated passers too. Good QBs make plays, period.
Those are two of the best QBs in the League. We all know that TE isn't on that same level. Relax, it was game preseason game 1.
Jeezus.
Rothlesberger gets sacked because of Rothlesberger.
Rodgers accrued all those sacks in the first half of the season last year. Once his top Ts were back I believe he was sacked only 10 times in the second half of the year (+/- a game or two.)
Huh??? That's a unique point of view.
-
Fitz as #2? This is the least surprising news out of camp so far. Who really thought it be otherwise?
-
You're kidding, right?
Derek Anderson has taken the #1 spot and he's better than Fitz by a good bit.
That's unlikely, to be kind.
-
I am not picking on anybody. I am just asking a question and stating some fact. I will also ask who is responsible for teaching the players what is necessary to play a certain position or scheme? The coach for that particular aspect of the game not the peanut vendor….
What fact are you refering to?
These?:
"I am just not very comfortable with what I saw"
"I just don’t have a good feeling about SP…."
"I sure hope I am wrong"
And what, exactly is "SP"?

Why get on Dehaven? How were the STs last season?
-
There's a lot to this list I don't like. Jason Campbell and Matt Cassell ahead of Byron Leftwich? Don't think so. Cassell should be last on this list. Edwards may not be too much higher than Clayton has him slated, but I don't see him being way down at 31. For the time being at least, he should certainly be ahead of Kevin Kolb who still hasn't played enough to give a thumbs up or down.
That's the first thing that catches your eye??
Leftwich is ranked way too high. At this point, he's well below Edwards.
Delhomme is last, where he belongs.
-
Ahhh....Deadspin
-
In fact we signed him to an extention.
PTR
Not only that, some justified the insane resigning by saying that DJ would be a hot commodity after his third season and there would be a "bidding war" to retain his services as HC.
So I think it's rasonable to reserve judgement on the latest/greatest HC until he produces a different result.
-
Keep Fitz as a vet and teacher? That's funny, I thought the Bills need a back up quarterback, not Obi Won Kanobe. In my humble opinion, Fitz should be cut by tomorrow and allowed to catch on with another team. Brohm and Brown are fine as back ups / #3's. They are both young and have more upside then Fitzy, who by the way is only about 26 or 27 himself, but has zero upside beyond what he is, a career number two.
Because things are so damned tentative with Edwards being the starter, Fitzy is simply not good enough to "take over as a number one" half way through the season. Brohm should absolutely be the back up this season, because Fitz had his chance to be the starter on a pretty damn good offense in Cinti a couple years ago when Palmer went down, and he sucked. Brohm deserves a chance to be a second string one play away from starter, to see how he does. And Levi? Who knows, but the kid is just a 7th round rookie.
Fitz WAS our starter last year--for half the season and won 4 games. So you think Brohm, who has done nothing, is a better option at backup, right now, than Fitz? You would make him #2 just "to see how he does" if TE goes down?
Yeah, OK.
-
Despite back to back crappy 7-9 seasons, I don't recall many here posting about how bad DJ was after he started his third season 5-1.
Just sayin....
-
Long overdue & the key to keeping the team in Western New York. A way needs to be found to get this done. I don't care if it's built in Niagara, just build the darn thing. Thoughts?
I think it's going to happen right after they complete the stadium in LA.....
You sound like an architect. Or else like someone who is used to spending other people's money. Why does the stadium need to "stay somewhat contemporary?"
To the OP - so you are saying that the new owner MUST take on debt. Wrong answer - no debt load is one of the reasons why this team, in this market, is still making money.
Actually, the new owner will be taking on massive debt regardless. Unless it's the old man's wife. So the new owner will struggle to make a dime for many years.
Brohm, Brown or Fitzpatrick, who makes the final roster?

Great idea---stock the roster with QBs who have never played, collectively, more than a single NFL game!
WTF
