Figured since most everyone else has been complaining about "the media" lately, I'd throw my whine into the mix:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/sports_illustrated/3567265822/
Indy 500, NBA and NHL playoffs ... so, naturally, they're running a cover shot of a guy who hasn't played a game since September 2008. Yes, I know his return to practice is newsworthy. But this newsworthy?
Practice, man. We're talking about practice.
Indy 500?? That was a joke, right? You suggest a cover story about a race that lost it's relevance over 20 years ago?
Hockey? Fewer viewers than the Indy 500.
NBA? The last issue of SI was a cover on LeBron James---a total love-piece on a guy who has won zero rings and is in danger of getting sent home by the Orlando Magic (!).
-
Who cares? Why are these position ranks important?

Everyone's jealous. What other teams in the NFL have two number 1 receivers? Both Evans and TO could be a number 1 receiver anywhere in the NFL. The bad news for the rest of the league, they both are on the Bills. Kelly is right. TO needs to be that guy on Monday, after a loss, to say hey what what the hell?
Problem is that TO doesn't wait til Monday--he will be calling out his QB and his OC and his HC on the field and from the sidelines during the game. You guys pretend that you haven't seen this stuff from him in the past.
I love the TO signing, but what if he was signed by someone else? Especially in our division. We would be right at the front of the line in criticizing him. We would be using all the same arguments that we are now dismissing.You're not supposed to point that out at this site.
-
I did not like the Maybin pick.. I think he has bust written all over him.
But we shall see
Have you not SEEN his killer "first step"?
-
No doubt Brady is very concerned about the loss of 2 CBs.
-
Simple question:
Why would Romo want to get rid of TO?

As far as the negative comments regarding this thread, it mostly came from "rookies" who have been on this board for less than a year. I take it with a grain of salt but when they start trying to get personal than enough is enough. I don't understand to this day why members of this board that have such distain for a post bother to even comment. To agree or disagree is one thing but to be a derogatory @$$hole is another. I guess when their parents or wives let them on the internet they feel big.
Really? It is a rookie "error" to mock your inability to conceive why the NFL would play it's championship game outside in the cold dead of winter...in Buffalo NY? Any reasonble person can spot nonsense when they see it for the first time, let alone 2,671 times. Because you've been around here a few years, those of us who are new here are supposed to humor you when you post these thoughts?
You're taking yourself way too seriously, chief.
-
If we finish better than .500 next year, DJ will ABSOLUTELY be back in 2010. It won't matter if we make the playoffs, despite what Jim Kelly thinks.
-
Only to find you, on your knees, blocking the way
Oh, I get it. I must be gay too because I don't trash Tom Brady.
Nice cover.
-
This has got to be the STUPIDIST post ever, but give who posted it is this a surprise?
probably not.
It is a pretty dumb post.
Do you really not understand the concepts of climate, hotel capacity and logistics?
-
so by HONEST - you mean that it was OK for JJ to cheat just like the Pats were doing
OK --I see how your logic works
What he means is that JJ and Parcells said what was already known--that this type of taping had been going on for decades and it was widely known and that no one really made a big deal about it. Years ago, Wellington Mara was asked about the problem of teams stealing signals, he said you don't need to change the system, you need to change your signals.
My booth would be Jaws, Collinsworth and JJ.

This is such a loser mentality.
If you don't want another team to run up the score, tell your team to not let them do so. Simple.
Also, all this homophobic riffing on Brady is a very thin beard barely concealing your unusual obsession with this guy. He's a pro sports superstar with 3 SB rings, he's a handsome man, he married a supermodel (after tossing away a slightly less gorgeous woman whom he impregnated)-----so.....all this makes him GAY, right?
Going on and on like this can't make you feel better about the Bills, so why do it? I don't get it, unless it is a way for you to hide your struggle with your own orientation, Senator Craig.
Look, if Brady was a Bill right now, you would all would be doing a 2 knee shuffle away from TO and right to Brady.

One of you dog loving Vick-haters out there please explain to me why Mike Vick deserves your ire, considering the following truths:
5. We are ready to crucify a thinking, feeling human being for inflicting suffering (albeit entirely indirectly) on an animal .
HYPOCRISY!
1-4 are just stupid ("dogs are dogs" and the like).
5 needs clarification before it is deemed also stupid. Is drowning, electrocuting and crushing the head of a dog the "entirely indirect" infliction of suffering? What would you consider "direct" infliction of suffering?

I don't see how Kelly loses any credibility. Jauron was extended at a time when the bills were 4-0 and on their way to 5-1. That's a pretty darn good start. Hell, it was even good enough to get some of the most pessimistic fans thinking things were turning around. The problem was not putting in an "out" clause if the season fell apart; or just eating the contract after it did. But, you have to recall at the time Jauron was extended, the Bills were the talk of the league, Edwards was on his way to a Pro Bowl, and Jauron was COY material. Which makes the horrendous decline over the 2nd half of the season even more mind boggling.
I just explained this.
Jim knows that if the Bills finish 9-7, especially if they start off slow, and don't make the playoffs, then Ralph will keep DJ so he doesn't haveto eat the remainder of the contract.
Jim's just pretending that Ralph is some sort of hardass owner who demands wins because Kelly is still fantasizing that he and his secret "group" of others will be negotiating with Ralph or his survivors to buy the team some day.
Come on Jim! Ralph doesn't pay you to say crap like that anymore.
-
Interesting to hear him essentially call out last year's team with the "you couldn't tell whether they won or lost" statement. There's something to be said for staying on an even keel, but at some point, you have to get pissed off enough about losing to want to do something about it, no?
Actually, no.
No one on this team seemed to be very bothered by anything going on last year---least of all Dick Jauron. This team has no passion whatsoever. it has no leader--Whitner is not a leader.
At least Jim was astute enough to point that out. But he loses some credibility when he starts buttering Ralph's balls with "Mr. Wilson's not settling for anything short of making the playoffs this year."
Really Jim? Then why did he give the guy a 3 year contract? If the Bills go 9-7 and don't make the playoffs, there is NO WAY Ralph is going to be paying two HC salaries for 2 years. He'll declare the year a great success and will welcome DJ back, as will at least 50% of this board.
-
IIRC, Brady was reported as having a sore shoulder for every game, for years...
No doubt opposing teams were shocked every game when they saw Brady trotting onto the field for the coin toss.
That's some more serious "cheating" by the Pats, right there.
-
McCargo is a bust. Guess we'll have to relearn that for another year.
There are guys over at another thread saying it wouldn't be so bad if JPL came back as our backup QB?
Is pointing out the idiocy of that also "hating"?
Pretend performance and quality and excellence matter, just for this season. It won't kill you.
-
“I had a broken bone and I was trying to play with it,” Maroney said
-
And, we could do worse than having Losman on the roster as a backup.
GO BILLS!!!
This is exactly the kind of thinking and attitude that has filled all the seats in "Ralph Wilson Stadium" year after year and made Ralph bulletproof despite the crappy 10 years of football. It has also made him one of the wealthiest owners in the league.
-
Weak, SKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBY - extremely weak. Try having an original thought once in a while.
Now go away before I have to get a restraining order against you, my former gopher and errand boy.
And don't bother begging for your job back. Man, disgruntled former employees are always a pain in the ass.
Maybe you can hire your fave boy JP. He's great with the parks and recreation stuff, right? And he's such a great guy, he'll never give you a problem.
-
WTF?? Is he still on the team? Are you out for him as a player or a person???
I'M a Losman fan not because of any stupid game he played in (mostly the Bills were out-coached in every loss BTW)
I AM a Losman fan because of him OFF the field. He didn't get his neighborhood pregnant while smoking dope, or any other BS like that.
In fact he's the only SOB millionaire to try to help clean up the city...let's see TO get his posse to encourage civic pride.
(Plus he plays drums, as a drummer myself that's all I need to know to like a person...but that's besides the point)
I hope he gets in a band and becomes a rock star...maybe he's the smart one who figured if you want to play in a Super bowl you have a much better chance doing it at half-time than with the Buffalo Bills.
Damn you pissed me off and I have to be up at 5 AM...flame away but I won't be here.
JP planted a few trees and picked up garbage one day for the media and he's a great guy?? Wouldn't it have been better for him and his community if he spent some time reviewing game film in the off season and prior to games? When he got benched last year, wouldn't he have been a better guy if he at least gave the appearance of faked interest as to what was going on in the game instead of showing the TV audience his "I can't believe I'm not playing" mope while isolating himself at the end of the bench wearing his goofy beard and full-length cover-up?
And stop with the "he had all the tools" stuff. He was a good athlete, ok. But a great athlete doesn't get chased down by 300 lb linemen and he can make a fast LB miss him at least a few times. He was supposed to be this great "scrambler" coming out of Tulane. He was just too slow-footed. Flutie was a better athlete than JP.
As for the "long bombs" to Evans, there were so few of those over his career that it cannot sustain the myth that he would be a better "fit" in a big passing offense. Sasquatch has been sited in Buffalo more times than JP ever hooked up with Evans for a long TD.
-
Do you think Trent will be the QB long enough for Owens to get on his case? Buffalo history says no
TO doesn't care who the QB is. He's called out much better than the Bills have had in years.
-
He called him "doddering," which Ralph took exception to. The only place I've ever seen dementia suggested was on this board, and I've seen no proof from reputable sources to back it up.
Here it is:
-
They are TO's critera, pally? LOL! Have a link where he states this?
Oh wait, nevermind. I can tell you that TO led the Eagles in receptions, yards, and TD's in 2004, as well as in 2005 before getting suspended by them. He also led the Cowboys in yards and TD's for his 3 years, and had fewer receptions than Witten in 2007, a full year before he surprisingly got released, allegedly for "destroying the team" because he had fewer receptions, but not TD's, than Witten. Funny that Jerry Jones gave TO a 4-year contract extension after that 2007 season, with $13M in guaranteed money, despite your claim that he needs to get the most receptions, namely TD receptions, to remain happy.
I asked before, but never got an answer, so I'll ask again, pally. Just exactly WHAT do you think TO can do to the Bills to make things any worse? The answer, which you can't bring yourself to admit, is "nothing." Which leads me to conclude that you're more content bitching about the team than anything else.
And hey, if he does "destroy the team," he did the same to the "big boys" in Philly and Dallas. That puts them in good company, right?
And don't even start about the marijuana. Suggesting they test the alleged "blunts" for Lynch's DNA was my way of telling people like you, who believe everything cops tell you, that merely (and allegedly) finding pot in the car doesn't necessarily mean that Lynch was smoking it (gee, can you get suspended for being around pot smokers?), and his lack of failed drug tests proves this. But seeing as how the cops didn't collect the "evidence" or charge him with it, it was obviously a bull sh-- claim. But hey, cops never lie. Just like they would never mercilessly beat an unconscious man who just flew out of the window of his overturned vehicle.
TO has clearly shown that after the first year of peace (and as the focus of the passing game), his demands increase. He starts calling out his QB, his coach. Blaming everyone else for any pass not thrown his way (or any of his many drops).
You pretend as if you don't know this--that's why you have no credibility in this discussion. This is what the guy does.
More proof is that you even ask the question "how could it get worse for Buffalo"? Really? Can't figure this one out? How 'bout all of the above? You know, he starts in on TE, and "the Turk", and DJ after he doen't get what he thinks he deserves, or if the offfense starts to struggle. We've not had that type of open division on this team--on the field, on the sidelines, in the lockeroom, in the press. You really don't think this is possible if the offense struggles this year? Not even to argue the point would you make this nutty claim.
That would be "worse", to spell it out for you.
The DNA part I just threw in to see if I could get you to mention DNA testing of marijuana again, because it is such a ridiculous concept. Wouldn't it be cheaper to dust it for prints? hahahaha
Also, you came through with your often repeated claim that the cops "made up" the weed report, even though no one in the car or their lawyers ever raised a peep to deny or challenge this--even if it would have nullified the search and therefor the arrest. Still stuck there, I see.
No, I don't believe everything the cops tell me, but when the alleged perp does not challenge the report, why should I?
Pure gold!

Hmm. Can he play RB? We won't even know Marshawn is gone!
