Ummm...I can't believe you haven't figured it out yet...but there is only one journalist at OBD. Brown is the lead journo, the editor, the lighter side of things guy, obits and rooke journo over there. He just switches eyebrows so no one would know RW cheaped out on the mouthpiece.
Do you feel a breeze passing over your head?
-
We all know that Chris Brown is the Lead Journalist, but can't he let some of the other journalists speak every once in a while?

Was it that long ago that so many were defending the then rumored re-signing of the 5-0 DJ (before his contract was up)? Some actually said Ralph had to act fast and re-sign DJ because he would get snatched up in the off-season by some other team.

Mike Freeman of CBS is saying that the owner's are going to decide to move the Jags to most likely L.A in 2 or 3 years. Of course its not for sure, but I can definitely see that it could be true after going to the Bills v. Jags last year. No fan support and a badly located stadium.
One of the fans dint know who Paul Posluszny was, I know because I was wearing Poz's jersey. Said he never heard of him.
I think this bodes well for our future in Buffalo. Thoughts????
Nobody says the owners are going to decide to move the Jags, not even the author of this poorly conceived article. They can't anyway.
The owners had no problem awarding a team to Jax, not sure why they are disappointed, or surprised, with the performance of this town at this point.
The Roski deal is likely DOA. Yet another plan by another group is no more likely to succeed in getting a team to move AND build a new stadium.

No, I actually thought those 4 QB's (especially Thigpen) were backups at best. But Gailey improved his offenses with those 4 QB's.
Which Thigpen?

Gee, that's surprising. Couldn't be that teams that are winning generally run a lot, could it? And that teams that are behind often pass a lot to catch up? That couldn't be the explanation, could it? Nah, I'm sure you're right that there's some other twisted reason for doing what is basic NFL strategy, and particularly teams whose second reciever was Peerless Price on his second trip through Buffalo, and who after that featured Josh Reed, Sam Aiken, Roscoe Parrish, and Andre Davis. Yeah, a team with recievers like that and recieving TEs like Cieslak, Murphy, Neufeld and ta-daaaaaa, Robert Royal ... should definitely try passing as much as possible.
People say he only threw to Lee Evans. Gee, what a surprise.
The point you missed is that, in his best year, the Bills won when they limited Losman's passing exposure.

Right on the button.
And especially to do so with 13 games of experience before the season started. People forget that before that 2006 season, JP had far less game experience than Trent Edwards had going into last year. Trent had 24 games experience before last season, depending on how you count it. Much more experience than JP at the beginning of 2006 anyway.
Unfortunately for JPL, most people remember 2007.
What the JPL people don;t remember is that in 4 of JPL's wins in 2006, he was limited to fewer than 20 passes. In 7 of the team's losses, he attempted 25 or more. Seems like the coaching staff knew exactly what they were doing with Losman.
-
Would you use the 24 yards he had in 2009 or the 450 he had in 2007 to evaluate him?
He doesn't look better with the 450 yard season. Two starts. Horrible completion percentage. Horrible YPA.
The argument that he was "the starter" in Baltimore before he got sick is inaccurate (he never started a game with Flacco on the roster) and is pointless anyway. he got beat out by a better QB--simple.
Some of you can imagine how great he would have been, but there is nothing in his pro experience to suggest this would have been true.
-
I'd say about 9 out of 10 young, inexperienced QBs have those porblems trying to transition to the pros. The biggest problem with JP was he had a horrible coaching staff, that drafted a kid that everyone said would take a few years to develop because he was raw. Then they gave him 1 year and expected greatness.
He was assessed as the best draft prospect in the country going into his senior year, apparently. He got to learn from the bench his first year--he was not thrown in his rookie year. Doubt anyone expected "greatness", but they did expect some form of competence to appear in his game.

2 guys that I simply cannot believe are still on this team are
1.) Chambers
and
2.) McCargo
Chambers is absolutely terrible on the offensive line. Even as a depth player he gets blown up or just plain beat on the outside by average speed rushers. It befuddles me as to how he is still employed.
McCargo was shipped and on his way to Indy, but has back problems- thus nulling the trade. When the Bills had to take him back, I thought...hmmm...awkward?
Hopefully with the new regime BOTH of these guys will finally be gone.

Yes mpl. would be open to his consideration at a low minimilized price. Considering we don't have pro bowl qb's on hand, nothing wrong with being open minded to a former college all pro. Not saying he will light it up ever. But you should never be close minded if the price is right. In this case the price would prolly be quite low. So not much to complain about.
Huh??
Smith was only moved to #2 because Flacco played even better and the team started winning more. -
The throws looked like ****. Both of them had nothing on them and wobbled horribly. and What gets me there are no pads on, no rush, nothing. All he has to do is wind up and sling the ball, but still he pushes the ball down the field and gets no snap on it.
I just hope we don't waste too many more games on this bum
Come on--they didn't look that bad.
-
I didn't say anything, yet you responded?
I'm sorry you are PMS-ing. I know its been a rough season with your celtics choking in game 7 and your bruins blowing a 3-0 series lead.
To clarify, you said nothing new or clever, hence the "no".
What do you do with yourself all day, man? What a mess.

I am guessing from your over all demeanor on this board that you have not been asked to stand up in many weddings. YES, if you are a groomsmen you get to the location earlier to help with last minute issues, such as get your tux and make sure it fits. Secondly the rehearsal and dinner is traditionally the day before. What is he supposed to do fly in for the dinner out for VOLUNTARY OTAs then fly back for the wedding. get real.
I've stood up for several. Get in on Friday, home by Sunday. My work doesn't allow me to make a week out of it.

Haley wanted Gailey gone, That's common knowledge. Haley is an offensive minded coach who wanted to run his own system and not Gailey's. So maybe Pioli technically "fired" Gailey, it was Haley who wanted and got him gone.
Its nice to see a pats* bashing thread make you defend the pats* again and show your true colors of being a bahston-loving, brady knob gobbling scumbag fan of the cheaters*.
I'm sorry, did you say something? No? Back in the closet then.
-
i agree completely, that whole scenerio with him just before the season was strange. that being said, guess it remains to be seen if he has any upside left.
He was dumped by the Bucs.
When was his upside last seen?
-
I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that was Todd Haley's decision.
GM fires coaches. If he wanted Gailey, Gailey would still be with the Chiefs.
-
Are you people serious??? Find something better to do than nit pick at a guy that hasn't done a thing wrong in a long time.
1. Voluntary practices are indeed "voluntary". If they're not, then the team needs to change it's name to mandatory.
2. Yes, weddings do start on friday if you're a groomsman. It's called a rehearsal dinner.
I think it's best if people stopped looking for reasons to run a guy out of town. Especially one of this team's only true star players. Let it go Bills fans.
He left Thursday, weddings Saturday--in Dallas. Just sayin.
-
The Patriots may still be competetive, but their reign as a top flight team is over. Their GM whose moves have made Bellichick a legend is gone
Didn't that legend-making GM fire Chan Gailey?
-
I am very impressed with Easley. Looks like a total ball hawk.
If you compare the practice videos versus this year, you'll see the differences instantly. The "new" offense definitely has a click and electricity to it.
Ed Wang really needs to cut that hair. He can't pull off the long hair (and earring) without looking like a woman.
Guess he better stay away from Lehigh Valley, PA then.

Bills RB Marshawn Lynch missed Buffalo's OTA today to fly to Dallas to be a groomsman in wedding of Seahawks RB Justin Forsett
The guy's getting married on Thursday? Friday? Saturday?

A 13 point win is a blowout. But if you prefer a different term, by all means, go ahead. It still doesn't change the fact that the Jets wouldn't have beaten the Colts in week 16 had the Colts not sat their starters.
The Bungles sat their starters at the half of the season-ender. Maybe they could have "won half the game" like you trumpeted the Jets doing in that AFCCG, after some halftime adjustments. Don't know, don't care. The point is it's about as plausible as your claim that the Jets stood much of a chance of beating the Colts straight-up.
And I see. Because the Jets won 2 games in the playoffs last year, it automatically means they're guaranteed to go to the SB this year. Is that it?[/b] Kind of like how the Dols were supposed to last year or the Jets were supposed to in 2007? Sorry, fool me once...
HA! No, that's not it. What are you talking about? "Contender" means "guaranteed to go to the SB"? Well, I guess for your argument to make sense to you--it has too.
It's all really simple---the Jets were SB contenders last year (by definition, any team battling in a conference championship game is a contender for a SB spot--you gonna argue that too?) so it doesn't require an incredible leap to consider them contenders (just that, calm down) this year.
The Bengals sat their starters at halftime because they were being humiliated. That humilation continued a week later.

I disagree. He had advantages off the field which made his life much easier, and could have positively impacted his performance on the field.
Have you ever had to worry about how you're going to make your next car payment, or pay your rent or mortgage? It can impact your day to day life, and how you function. Reggie didn't have to worry about that stuff. Having money makes everything easier.
Neither did any of his teammates. Every starter on the USC football team is living rent free, has no mortgage and, if they have a car, it was likely paid for by someone else.
Pampered star college athletes? Bad example.

I'd say the SJ metro area is much larger given all the lager cities around it.
The census has the city of SJ at 1.023 million. It's metro at 1.84 million.
SF/Oak is 1.2 million. The Metro 4.2 million.
A question that I must ask
