Don't forget Mike Williams on Tampa Bay (4th round pick from Syracuse!). He's having a great rookie year. He leads all rookies in receiving yards, and is 12th among all NFL receivers in yards. I watched him play at Syracuse his whole career, and was really wishing the Bills would draft him. Unfortunately, the Bucs snagged him a few places ahead of us in the 4th round, and we ended up taking Marcus Easley.

I'll be there with 6 of my buddies. Go Bills!

So who won?

It looks to me like his arm is getting tired at the end of games. In yesterday's game he was really slinging the ball around in the first three quarters. This isn't the first time he's made some VERY poor fourth quarter throws. Sure, there are probably some other factors that affect his fourth quarter throws, but his arm strength/endurance does seem to be a problem at the end of games.

Actually I'm fairly sure there are a few teams that don't have cheerleaders at all. I think the Packers are one of them. So I guess having the Jills is better than no cheerleaders at all? And in response to the picture of the Philadelphia Eagles cheerleader....maybe she just has big....erm....lips.

Haha. This must be a Mr. Burns quote. I like it.

Agreed. I was there today, and just couldn't believe some of the decisions. Yes the O-line play wasn't good...but as was mentioned above, Trent doesn't want to throw it unless he sees a guy wide open. To answer the original thread question, there were definitely times when receivers were open, but a lot times Trent couldn't or wouldn't step into the throw or get his feet set.

Saints over Vikes? Okay just kidding... 49ers over Seahawks.

Speaking of Bills apparel...I just got this Spiller t-shirt the other day from celebratebuffalo.com. http://www.celebratebuffalo.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SPORT20 The cheapest shipping was something like $7.00 for USPS fyi, but it came pretty quickly, and I'm happy with the quality of it.

They actually gave Kelsay and Williams the same score...but to your point, I would agree that Kyle Williams is better than Kelsay, and should at least be rated higher.

Maybe it was take your child to work day.

You could drive to Syracuse

Haha....well based on your avatar there might be a LITTLE bit of bias here. But I do agree with you on the fact that not a lot of people are talking about Florida St, and I think they'll definitely be in the hunt for the ACC championship. I'm interested to see how Ponder does this season. I've watched some FL St. games in the past, but never focused too much on him. I also can't wait for football Saturdays and Sundays. There's something about the cool, crisp weather....the leaves turning color....and waking up knowing you've got a full day of football to enjoy.

I have Insider, and to answer your original question: The article is just about how Football Outsiders expects a few players, including Lee Evans, to increase their "YAC Plus" statistic this year, while they expect a few other players, including Miles Austin, to decline in this category. "YAC Plus" is essentially how many yards MORE than the typical YAC a player gets for a specific pass reception scenario (so if an 8 yard pass to the left typically results in a YAC of 3, and Lee Evans got 4 yards, then he'd have a YAC Plus of 1). They average your YAC Plus for every reception and compare to other players. They expect Lee's to rise and Austin's to fall.

Game is on now in Syracuse area FYI

I'm in Liverpool, and it says it's supposed to be the Bills game but instead it's Jeopardy. I'm pretty pissed right now

Nice. I just got Madden 11, and I look forward to recreating that scene on my own.

Just bought one of Jairus Bird. The total bill is $5.95.

I think he was expecting you to close the thread

What he said. I don't think Nix assumed Schobel was coming back, and there is only so much you can do with the draft picks you have, your team needs, and who is available when you pick. I think they needed to see what they have in Maybin this year before spending another high draft pick on his replacement. I think Nix is doing what he needs to do to rebuild the team, knowing that it won't all happen in one year.

Hahaha.

Barely felt it in Syracuse for like 2 seconds. I thought I noticed something, but shrugged it off. I come out to the main office and everyone is talking about it. Earthquake survival rate for me so far: 2/2

Brian Brohm anyone?

I sure hope Meredith wouldn't actually be calling him "Bri Bri"
