  1. I just got back from The Ralph - and nope, I am NOT heading to NJ Stadium this time.

     

    I suggest he check with the NYC Backers.

     

    Rich I have a guy that posted on the NNJ BBB Facebook page. He's in Central Jersey. Is it okay if I forward him your contact info?

     

    I'll be there. I live two miles from the stadium.......

  2. I'm in Wholesale cars. I live in and my business is in NJ. In fact I live about 2 miles from Giants Stadium. Anyway we bought an X6 and I found NY plates in the rear with one that had a plate frame around it from Towne BMW in Williamsville. My first thought- this plate frame is going on the Wife's BMW! She (also a Bills fan) didnt agree so now the plate and frame are going to be hung behind the bar in our home.

     

    Its stupid I know but being a Bills fan down here and have this cross my path is cool for me.....

     

    That's it......

  3. i was pleasantly surprised by florio's positive take on the bills. like it has been said on here, having a national talking head show some love for the bills is unusual and i will take it. without going out on a limb, injuries will be the key.

     

    Hes never been one to bash the Bills. He points ciriticism at them when its due but its never from a biased angle. I agree if we can keep guys healthy that will be a big key. The last two years were awful w injuries. The lockout has really hurt us (and all teams) in that respect also.

  4. If you read all of this "scouts" opinions he rips the Chiefs as bad as us. Oddly though he mentions only Haley and not Pioli even though he rips apart the players they have brought in...... he even says "This will be Haley's last year and Todd knows it" or something to that affect.

     

    As far as the Barnett signing- was there any superstar ILBs out there we couldve/shouldve signed? I cant think of any but could be wrong. I thought Poz was a good guy but not worth the money they're paying him and Barnett seems 100 times better at covering TE's. 12mm doesnt seem like a lot over three years in todays NFL. Plus who's to say he'll be here past year two? If they develop these draft picks he will become expendable.

     

    OL well as much as I wanna be an optimist they have done seemingly little to nothing to upgrade the line.

     

    As far as Spiller goes I still dont quite understand the pick but am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt as this is only his second year and maybe the "light will go on" for him this year.

     

    QB? Well I dont think there was anyone to acquire in FA that would be a "franchise guy" and trading for Kolb and giving him a huge contract would've been a mistake. As far as the draft goes I can only trust that if they didnt feel any of these QBs were "franchise" guys then why draft one? I like Fitz and I know he doesnt fall into the "elite" catagory however we could do a lot worse. He's got moxie, leadership, intelligence and is mobile. Maybe he will never lead us to the promised land but at this point I dont think we had any truly better options....

  5. The following quotes are from NFL scouts, coaches and front-office personnel, speaking on the condition of anonymity.

     

    • "I keep hearing what a great job (Bills GM) Buddy Nix is doing. The offensive line sucks. He did not address the quarterback position. (C.J.) Spiller is still struggling two years running. How do you win with (Kraig) Urbik, (Erik) Pears and Demetrius Bell starting on your offensive line? And there is nothing behind them. They paid Nick Barnett a ton of money to play in a system that he is not good at. He is a 4-3 Mike 'backer who is on the downside of his career. Who are their outside 'backers? (Chris) Kelsay and (Shawne) Merriman are old and broken down. There's nothing behind them. I'm shocked Jammie Kirlew is on an NFL roster. Buddy has been around awhile — he must have the hype machine working overtime. Unless I'm missing something, that is a bad football team."

     

    Have at it.....

  6. Perhaps they were trying to get him on film for other teams to see if they dont plan on keeping him. As much as I liked that they forced OT and the idea of winning what it really served was to get an extended look at finge guys....
