I agree. The only time he needs to exhibit extreme confidence is when he is on the field, and he does that. I believe he has the confidence and attitude to be successful. Now, if we can fix his short passing game, he will be a long-time starter for us!

I think he is just trying to be the best he can, learn from the Vets, and I guarantee he wants to starts, but understands if he doesn't.

this will be a big difference this year, IMO. If our QB's can read the entire field and go through progressions, we get 1-2 more TD's a game. TT locked onto his #1 too often, then ran. Which was fine a lot of times because he can run, but missing wide-open WR's was also a clear skill of his. the TT situation this year will be interesting. If he has terrible stats heading into week 3, watch out. Luckily I think Cle also has a good running game, and TT should be able to lock onto Gordon or Landry. But if he is missing open guys, I predict anarchy in the CLE locker room.

is there any team more injury cursed than the Chargers??? Rivers prob wins a SB or 2 by now if not for the continual injury parade over there. Rivers should come play for the Bills so he can win a SB. Terrible injury for Verrett and the Chargers.

Love this front office. We have "enough" RB's on paper. But adding Orleans Darkwa would be a great addition. Injuries happen. Having Shady, Cadet, Ivory and Darkwa give you depth and some versatility.

likely. But when we go 12.4, and win the AFC East, what will they say? (Likely it will be hours of "what happened to NE," totally ignoring the high caliber players this team has. With a good scheme on D, we have at least 5 pro bowl caliber players: 1. Tre White; 2. K. WIlliams; 3. Edmonds; 4. Hyde; 5. Poyer.

wow, kind of an interesting/bizzare take. You can be a "traitor" to a team/city. Anderson may be a bad example, as noted by someone else, but others like McGhee and J. Peters were traitors. People under contract who either badmouthed the city and/or played poorly on purpose.

That's really well-done.

Not a bad idea, BUT, Bell had 60 or something mroe touches than any other NFL player last season, and will likely have a similar load this year. The odds of a breakdown on what will be a VERY high priced player (he turned down 14.5 millino/year) make me say pass. I'd rather chase some great OL and DL play for that money and draft a RB in Rd. 2.

I'd vote for both. But not being on the Bills Wall of Fame is a glaring omission, IMO. Agree 100% with your post. He passed the eye test as a big game/situational player, and as you pointed out, and thanks for that work, passes the statistical test.

could be a cheap, prove-it signing. I'd sign him now, even assuming that Shady is still here.

As an aside, I don't understand how Sirrius and XM were allowed to merge. There is only one Sat radio provider. Very strange. Hopefully some competition comes along--will keep prices down. National reporters are a joke when it comes to covering the Bills, IMO. I'd rather stream a local Buffalo station or even get better coverage here in Pittsburgh where one of the hosts is from Buffalo.

very interesting take, and good points. No real pro-bowl players for sure. Perhaps the depth is better?! I think Gory, Dawkins, Bodine, Mills, and improved Miller will be a formidable 5, with Newhouse and/or Teller potentially starting. But as you said, the key is how well they play together. We also have Connor McDermitt, who I think will be a surprise. He was ranked high out of college. Any word on Henderson's availability?

great points. The WR chart looks bleak. But, I have a feeling we have a lot of high-upside guys and 1-3 of them have a great year.

yeah, first they need to find this guy. But if they do, they will also look for any internet, cell, etc. interactions between him and Shady (if they aren't already looking at Shady's digital/cyber footprint).

i can't believe it's only his 5th year. seems like he has been around forever. J. Williams would be nice.

I'm not wrong. Depending on the state criminal activity must be reported. Depends on the weapon in some states, in others it doesn't. Either way, how did this become part of this thread!

will be interesting to see if anything is reported on this. when will a news outlet call up Brandon?

incorrect. Most states require doctors to provide notification of illicit activity, which includes spousal abuse, to police. See chart on pg. 7. https://www.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/fysb/state_compendium.pdf

ha. Here it is. Enjoy the 73 pages of reading everyone. (current as of 2010 I believe). https://www.acf.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/fysb/state_compendium.pdf

imagine if this and the post by Poyer's wife are 100% false (in claiming Poyer to be a drunk/alcoholic). Clearly, there is money from Bellicheat behind these claims. Either that, or the Bills need to hire a professional girlfriend consultant for the players.

if this is false, I hope Shady sues everyone involved in this defamation campaign. If this is true, I hope the DA throws the book at him.

very true, they generally fall under the definition of "care provider" and must report domestic violence.

very true. But reporting is only required if you are a care provider (day-care, school, etc), not a general member of the public. Although, if you know about child abuse you should report it anyway.

ah, shifting stories. Very believable. So was it the "goons" who did the other allegations also? Sounds like she was out with some other guys, Shady cuts her off, and this is her retaliation.
