  1. Now I'm confused. Marrone said last night that "Friday will be a big day for him out there. Then there's a day off. Then Sunday and Monday will be big days."

     

    The "then there's a day off" certainly seems to suggest that something is happening today...no?

     

    Maybe he was thinking about cutting him?

  2. Here we go again. Here comes the onslaught of the same tedious "Wood" puns that weren't funny three days ago when the same fixated eighth graders had at it.

     

    Somewhere in this post is a veiled attempt at potty humor. Onslaught... tedious... puns... fixated... "Wood"... I can't quite put my... let's go with finger... on it, but I can sense it. What're you hiding, alias. Go ahead and let out with a good poop joke... you know you want to.

  3. What the hell was this front office thinking? Were they all sitting around in a circle? Jerks. They go and use up valuable cap space that could be used to sign castoff DBs on what? A player that if he's upright for more than 4 hours you need to call the doctor? That's it! I give up!

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Kidding! Way to go weird fat kid from Bad Santa!

  4. I'd like to remind everyone that several years ago the Patriots lost Tom Brady and still managed to go 11-5....

     

    I'm not debating the message you're trying to send. I buy it. I do find it funny, however, that you use a perennial Super Bowl contender as an example and, while their record that year was impressive, fail to note it was also the only year since 2001 - 2002 that they didn't make the playoffs... DOOOOOMED!!!

  5. this is a STRONG indication they do NOT expect EJ in week #1.

     

    Or it is an indication that they'd like to get their WRs some work the last week of pre-season, and last game of the preseason, without burning out the arm of the only healthy QB on the team... Look at the names they're bringing in. They're nothing more than warm bodies. I think the NFL would frown on rolling an actual Jugs machine onto the field Thursday, so instead they're looking to sign the equivalent.

  6. All this innuendo... Whaley seems to be a stand up guy of good moral fiber. Why is everyone so convinced that he pays to extend Wood? It's not like he's been caught in public Pettine the Johnson or anything. The way people are going on, you'd think someone had pictures of him showing his Tuel to the Young. He never gave me the impression that when no one's looking he Rogers the neighbor's Byrd. As far as I'm concerned, as long as it's legal and no one gets hurt, whatever he does with his Kolb in his free time is his Choice.

  7. its pretty much the same thing, what has EJ not shown Bills fans they they want the other guy? I could see an argument with Kolb if he was # 1 but Tuel was playing against guys that will be unemployed in 4 weeks.

     

    Looking at this in a different light, calling for Tuel over EJ could be a subconscious acknowlegment by that contingent of fans who always wants the backup to play that Manuel is, or should be, the undisputed starter (at least in their mind... you know, as they're calling for the backup to play... did I just walk in a circle?).

  8. IIRC, as early as last offseason there were rumblings that Levitre had intended to test the market. I think Byrd may have as well. It's much easier to extend players like Kelsay who already realize the market isn't likely to yield more than what they're being extended for. Not the case here. Apples and oranges. Players won't be interested in a Bills' hometown discount until they're good enough to contend for a ring. As much as it sucks as a fan of a football team, it's what almost anyone would do in their situation.

  9. Of course no team is ever going to do this, but if we were going to do it then it should have been last season for Andrew Luck. Not a defensive end. There isnt a defensive end that has ever played the game that would make us a winning team like Luck immediately did for Indianapolis.

    If we has tanked LAST season for Luck, that would have shown a serious lack of judgement since he was already in the league at that point, playing for the team that employed that approach the season before. :devil:

  10. Kendall Gaskins makes the team, and in the season opener he meets Spikes in the hole and elbows him so hard in the head that it comes clean off Brandon's shoulders and rolls across the field leaving a bloody wake. Gaskins then taunts Spikes' lifeless body as they haul it off the field. Normally one to frown on such antics, in this instance I somehow find it in my heart to look the other way... and when no one is looking, I even smile to myself a little in the face of this "tragedy" as I feel an unexpected sense of justice and satisfaction.

  11. The Felser's and Kelley's and other talented columnists that have come through Buffalo never had to resort to the 'lowest common denominator" approach...

    Easy to forget how good we had it. Kelley was a perfect example of someone who could cover a team in good times and bad, and was not afraid to deliver criticism, sometimes pointedly and vehemently, but had the credibility to back it up. He was also a talented writer, the likes of which is unfortunately quickly becoming extinct in this "instant gratification" society we live in.

  12. I know, right? I was there and I love Wheat Kings, but they were just killing time. Langlois was smoking a cigarette and it was actually kind of a sloppy version. I have seen so many greats put on so many great performances where you could hear a pin drop in the theater- John Prine, Neil Young, Merle Haggard, Gordon Lightfoot, etc.- and I don't know that I've ever been moved to tears. But that version of Wheat Kings made Jerry Sullivan shed tears? They play it almost every show. It was probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen him write.

    I think you have to have a soul to shed tears. It probably started to rain, his face got wet, and the imbecile thought he was crying.

     

    True, the ebb and flow of positivity and negativity from guys like Sully are definitely linked to the product on the field (for the most part).

     

    What was very "hack-like" IMO today, was Sully (on a not so very well-disguised campaign against MW) was to compare MW's Twitter pics to the Hernandez situation. That's lazy and uninspired. Sully takes pride in being the "smart man's" journalist and should know better. He had no retort when J. White called him on it and it just sounded bad on his part.

    Was it a clumsy reference to MW's Instagram of Hernandez?
