The general consensus of which you speak (which did certainly exist) was utterly disconnected from reality, and it would make less than no sense to have both Brown and Brohm on the PS. It is very normal for a 7th round draft choice to end up on the practice squad, and that makes perfect sense here. There is the risk that someone snatches Brown from waivers, but that is unlikely. It looks as though it will be Edwards, Fitz, and Brohm as 3rd QB, with Brown on the PS.
This is the least surprising development of the preseason.
An easy call, actually.

LMAO. That horrid visual made me shoot a chunk of apple outta my nose.
Sorry--it's just that we have entered the realm of what the Fed (Greenspan) once called "irrational exuberance". He was referring to the market just before the bubble burst in '99.
Why can't we just be reasonably hopeful without being desperate? Why does CG have to be a potential COTY? Why even talk like this? We've been this way before. GW started a season 5-3, DJ started one 5-1. Both were going to turn everything around after the last guy. It didn't work out.
Can't we wait a little while?

In my humble opinion, they DO keep them both. Ging back to what Gailey himself said a few days in as coach, he likes big, tall, fast receivers...our WR depth chart should look like this:
Evans
Johnson
Parrish
Jackson
Nelson
Hardy
I even think Roosevelt has an outside chance to make the roster as he proved he can get open and catch everything, plus his contributions on ST.
If CG likes 'em tall and fast, Roscoe and Hardy don't make the team.
-
Probably not, but that's because even though it's the same underlying message, it doesn't have the same cache.
True!
-
i dont consider those punks fans.
You may be right, but there were a lot more of them at the first week practice I went to. And they weren't kids. I'm sure it went on at every practice and I don't think they were there just to break balls.
Anyway, that wasn't exactly a Rex Ryan-us against the world (2009 version) moment. I understand he was supporting his team.
Why not just make shirts that say "stop making fun of your Buffalo Bills"? Would you wear that one?
-
I'd be very surprised if we don't pick up at least one Tight End. There's a reason Foschii and that other guy weren't on anyone's 80 man roster as of last week.
A waived TE may be better?
-
Does anyone really want to commemorate the Bills HC berating its own fansfor mocking the team?

Aside from everything everyone else has said so far, Marshawn Lynch has had two 1,000 yard years in only three career seasons. He might not be playing well right now, but it is impossible to "imagine him as a undrafted guy" or whatever, because he's already shown NFL potential to be a good running back.
He could be the next Larry Johnson!
-
Coming off an ankle injury, playing in his 2nd preseason game and 1st in three weeks and he wasn't sharp. Duh!
Really. Give the guy a break. It takes time to get up to 3.8 yds per carry speed.
-
Oh I agree with you on this. Just correcting the poster who stated OU hasn't won a bowl game in 10 years. All in all Stoops has done a helluva job at OU. I'd love to see him coach in the pros as I'm certain he would be a success. Perhaps one day he can be lured to Buffalo. We can only hope. LOL. Enjoy your day.
Not what I said.
Stoops isn't fool enough to look for a job in the pros. As it is now, he has his pick of the top athletes in the country, takes them frequently to the championship game, gets his ass beat---and STILL gets a contract extension.
None of those things would happen for him in the NFL.

Halftime review last night ...Sapp on the Int TD.
Not a great play by Drayton... well that's because the Bill's have nothing to lose, so he jumped the route.. or something very close to that.
Many other critique, when they all stand around and joke about how bad we are,with no upside.
One would think we've been 0-16 for ten years when in fact we've been more a .500 team.... don't get the hate.
When are these posts going to end?

Okay, eternal optimist here. I know its preseason, i know no one game plans, i know records mean nothing, i know Detroit looked great at 4-0 the year they went 0-16. I get all that, and I am still excited for the season to start.
So was wondering what record the Bills would need for our boy to win Coach of the Year. With all the 2-14,3-13,4-12 predictions out there, i say a 9-7 record gets it done. Might not even take that. If we can win one of the first two road games, Green Bay or the *Pats,after beating the Dolphins, I say he has it won right there and then. (I am already putting the opener in the W column). What do you all think?
This guy just has got me excited. However, I can remember Dick's opener so clearly, and thinking" we got a good coach here, except for that friggen safety we shoulda beat the Pats on the road"
. So take my opinion for what it's worth!!13-3. That was DJ's record as COTY.
I bet you're looking for a clean sock right about now.

Just correcting some loony posts earlier claiming Bomar was a stud at OU, or would have been better than Bradford. Obviously not. (Bradford's second game as a redshirt frosh? He put 51 on the board against Miami).
Bomar WAS probably the greatest QB in the history of Sam Houston State...or so I heard. Here's the extent of his immortal SHS career available on Youtube:
As for the Holiday Bowl, he was chosen by absolute default (barely 200 yards passing, a TD and a pick). You're welcome to check for yourself how happy Stoops was at the end of that game.My link
Don't know who is comparing Bradford to Bowmar. Not me. Just think he will be a decent backup and that the Giants will likely keep him.
Stoops hasn't been happy at the end of a Bowl game for 10 years............
-
I hope it stays at six weeks. I beleive he needs a tough lesson taught to him. RG should have said it is six weeks and if your a perfect citizen and do all the rehab and show your on the right track it will not be bumped to 8 weeks.
Yeah, being labeled internationally as a serial rapist isn't as "tough" as 2 more games suspended.
Are you for real?

I'm not a regular poster here, but as an Oklahoma fan I thought I'd share a few thoughts on Bomar.
I saw all his games his freshman year at Oklahoma. While it's fair to say he was raw and probably wasn't ready to take over the team, he never showed he was the No.4 prospect in the country, either. He was fast and could run, but he was a 50 percent passer most of the year. He was a complete numbskull at protecting the ball--he fumbled four times at UCLA, for instance--and was so bad early in the season, Stoops didn't dare let him throw a ball in the entire second half of his second game against a patsy Tulsa team.
The big knock on Bomar as the year wore on was that he wasn't all that committed to the film room or listening to instruction. Stoops had to turn off the aerial circus that year because Bomar, otherwise, would have thrown away several more games (he almost lost to Baylor in OT, at Norman). Bomar was such a disappointment not because he got booted off the team, but because the guy wasted all the blue-chip talent he had around him: Adrian Petersen, Malcolm Kelly, Manuel Johnson and Juaqin Iglesias.
His last game was a perfect ending to his career as a Sooner: while running out the clock on Oregon in the Holiday Bowl, Bomar got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty by spiking the ball after the kneel-down. OU had to hike it one more time from their half-yard line. Stoops was so pissed he almost made Bomar walk home to Norman.
So you're saying that he had a rough time as a Freshman. OK.
Maybe Stoops didn't make him walk home to Norman because he was the MVP of that Holiday Bowl game...
-
I thought they didn't go to trail because there wasn't enough evidence. I thought that was the DAs call, not hers.........That girl sounded horrible in her police statement.
They "didn't go to trial" because there was no charge filed against him. Need one of those first.
There was no charge because the DA felt there was insufficient evidence to charge. It's his call only.
-
Keep Brohm & Brown. Fitz? No. Draft Mallett or Locker in April.
Great idea---stock the roster with QBs who have never played, collectively, more than a single NFL game!
WTF
-
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.
