More likely they would question a guy who was afraid to take on a challenge and wanted things handed to him...
Oh, you mean like Eli Manning?
-
The only thing that worries me is Carolina outdoing us in losing football games and snagging him (they wouldn't right, not with Jimmy Claussen being taken in the 2nd just last year?) I know there's still a lot to be determined, but I've got my fingers crossed for good Luck.
My nightmare scenario is that Dallas does not win another game this season. We win a couple games via Cleveland and Detroit. Dallas earns the number one pick and drafts Luck right out from under our noses, sending Romo to the waiver wire. And the rest as they say is history.
-
Maybe the Bills can sign him to a 2 year 15mil contract. Win-win, Elway gets his money back and the Bills go to the Super Bowl!
-
Well how is a 24 year old, 2x 1,000 yard rusher, who has been to the pro-bowl...NOT in your long-term plans???
That is just retarded and it WILL cost them! (Now in a year, we have to go out and draft Jackson's replacement...somebody who can pound the ball and be the #1 RB...SPILLER will not cut it as a workhorse!)
Comparing what McCargo is worth to this team with what Whitner is worth to this team...is a complete joke!
With respect to Lynch... InCorrect! He is not in the long term plans because as soon as he is a free agent, he is out of here. Do you really want to franchise the guy to keep him on the team, so he can get into more trouble and get suspended for a year? Oh by the way, Lynch backed into the Pro Bowl when the guy actually selected (forget who) backed out from playing.
With respect to McCargo... Correct! At least Whitner can/has contributed SOMETHING to the cause, what's Escargo done for his 1st round draft expenditure.

And that's exactly why Genesee County would never want a stadium out there - everyone trying to avoid the NYS I-90 parking lot would try to shortcut thru those narrow, windy roads that weave right thru their quaint little villages and charming, tiny downtowns.
Hasn't gotten any better since I lived there in the '80s and had season tix at the old Shaefer/Sullivan/Whatever stadium next to the old dog track - even after they built a new stadium, widened all the access roads, and added tons of new parking at 50 bucks/car.
As a wild and crazy kid, we would hang out in Oakfield NY (on Route 63 NW of Batavia) on Friday and Saturday nights waiting for the Batavia Downs race track to let out (around 11 pm) and bombard the cars with rotten tomatoes as they passed through this small town with 1 traffic light in the center of the village.

Before you scoff at this... It just might make sense and here's a few reasons why:
1. Same distance for Canadian fans - about 30 minutes from Buffalo. (Also same distance for northern tier Buffalo and suburbanites).
2. Double down on Rochester market, and brings Syracuse into play... Remember - the Jets are now in Cortland for training camp, we may be losing ground in CNY
3. Outside Erie County! Which means it just might get done in our lifetimes, not to mention you'd bet that area would provide all kinds of incentive and jump at the opportunity. It would be the biggest thing in Batavia since... well, you get the idea.
4. Same feel for Bills games, tailgating, etc.
Being from Batavia, we have heard this rumor for years. Usually entails a smaller multi-purpose domed stadium topping out at 65k seats. Would it be nice, you bet. Would it be the biggest thing since the Batavia Downs, you bet. Would I be able to afford to attend more games, NO!
Potential problems would be the small local airport may not handle the planes nfl teams use and roads going into and out of Batavia are mostly single lane. Route 5 is the exception. Even access to the thruway exit is tight with 1 road in and out. I remember before OTB when the race track was going strong, cars would be backed up, jammed up for a couple of hours after the track let out on Friday and Saturday nights. I forget how many people the track used to hold, but it wasn't 65K.

You guys is pretty dense up there huh? Maybe if you understood the SATs are out of 1000 you would also understand that Rex was guessing that nobody else in a good frame of mind would take that QB. It's just Rex would like to have him to make the game even uglier. I think he was surprised at the Florida guys actions. At least for now nobody is beating up Kellen Clemens.
P.S. J-E-T-S Jets JEts JETS.
Yeah, if I understood that the SATs are 1000 (instead of the 1600 that they really used to be; and are now 2400) I would be just as stupid as you.
PS, J-E-T-S... suck, Suck, SUCK!

If he plays against us and Aaron Maybin doesnt get one sack they should cut him too. I love Nix and Gailey. Send the message. Cut every ingrate on the team. Maybin gets two more chances. If there is no production then he should be cut too. Sometimes the Heimlich maneuver gets rid of that half eaten steak that is stuck in your throat. Every time I see Maybin wired to the offensive lineman it makes me gag. The guy should be a dance instructor and not an NFL linebacker. Tango Maybin.
Wait for the special edition Dancing with the Has Been's, coming this spring.

I'd trade Whitner to Detroit for Ko Simpson, straight up; name Scott the starting SS, then cut Simpson.
Love this reply!
Did you see that hit he layed on some dude in the game yesterday? It hurt me just looking at it.
Yeah! It hurt me too because it was after the dude made a first down and he still hung onto the ball. Wow, that's a real display of first round talent.
-
10. A win. Let's steal one this week!
The New England Referees will never let this happen!
-
While it takes a few years to grade a draft class, it is pathetic how few of our picks are playing and contributing:
1st round : Spiller - 1 carry and 3 receptions yesterday
2nd round : Troup - How many snaps was he in for?
3rd round : Carrington - Didn't even dress
4th round : Easley - Out for the year
5th round : Wang - Hurt early on and remains to be seen if he will play this year
6th round : Moats - 2 tackles this year
6th round : Batten - Cut
7th round : Brown - Cut
7th round : Calloway - Cut
How can we get any better when we have basically no help from this years draft class.
This years? How about the previous 9 years of picks?

Is he up to it?
-
Just realized he had 8 tackles and 1 sack in the 1st half alone. Is it a conditioning problem, freak coincidences, or is he simply too fragile for his job? What do we do? We obviously can't trade him with his injury issues, but when healthy he "could" be an elite LB in the NFL. Thoughts?
He can pile up some stats when on the field, but IMO he is an average to good run defender and fair to poor is pass coverage. He makes up for it, by "working his a$$ off."
I believe that his injury problem is that he plays with reckless abandon, leaving himself vulnerable.

YOU WILL NOT LAUGH!
YOU WILL NOT CRY!
YOU WILL LEARN BY THE NUMBERS!
I WILL TEACH YOU!

They love the fact he won't be demanding LT money anytime soon! I wish the best for the kid.
Not that I don't like the kid, but he has not been on the field long enough to determine if he is a long term answer at LT. He definitely is not a short term answer.
After one particularly bad play by Bell, Steve Tasker commented that's why left tackles get paid so well. My thought was exactly, you get what you pay for.

The Bills have to win!
We all know Mortensen has some kind of grudge against us
and
We always deny Adam's breaking news
For what's it's worth, they also picked the Jets over the Ravens.

With out a doubt, the heart and soul of the greatest Bills team, Darryl Talley.
EDIT: i'm talking players only.....on-field.i'm going to say Thurman Thomas......
League MVP.....and best all around all purpose RB to ever play the game !!
#1- Thurman
#2- Bruce
#3- O.J.
#4- Cookie
#5- Kelly
**EDIT (stolen from the "wildrabbit"):
What most fail to realize is... the Bills used the running game to set up the pass. The Bills used to run more then they threw the ball in the Kelly era. While the Bills O line was better then most, it wasn't even close to what Emmitt Smith had in Dallas.
If you go back and look at what Thurman Thomas did, 5x pro bowls-1991 NFL MVP-1992 NFL offensive player of the year.
Thurman Thomas is the only NFL player to lead the league in total yards from scrimmage for four consecutive seasons.
Now considering he almost never caught the ball while in college it is amazing that he is one of six NFL backs to have over 400 receptions and 10,000 yards rushing. He is also one of five backs to have rushed for over 1,000 yards for 8 consecutive seasons. I know I'm leaving out a bunch of playoffs stats and other stuff. Just think, this kid kept Barry Sanders on the bench in College.
The guy was like 70% of the offense in Buffalo, he gets my vote.
-
Id say good enough! he won a super bowl with an average QB. he made his reputation as an offensive asst. with the Vikes, yet as a head coach with the ravens he had a defense-oriented team. That shows the ability to coach to the talent, not force the talent to fit a pre-convieved scheme.
I am not a big Billick fan. The talent he had in Baltimore was assembled by Ossie Newsome. I am not sure I would agree with you that he coached to the talent or that the talent was that good that they did not need much coaching?
-
I like how he stated he wants a football coach to surround himself with good teachers.
This is the same thing T.Donahoe and G. Williams said at the beginning of their era with the Bills

Mr. Wilson's financial people: "Jim, do you have a billion dollars?"
Jim: "Ahhhhh..........no."

For those looking for a silver lining: Has started every game he's played in and blocked for a 4,000-yard passer, 1,500-yard rusher and two 1,000-yard receivers (according to the bastion of human knowledge, Wikipedia).
For those glass-half-emtpyers: Voted one of the dirtiest players in the NFL by the players themselves, constantly fined, personal foul machine.
Is he the second coming of Conrad Dobler?

Moss and Owens are two peas in a pod.
If you asked the Panthers what their game plan was, it's simple. They helped whoever was covering Randy Moss early in the game with a safety. Then, once he was frustrated, they no longer needed to. Because by then, it was Game Over for No. 81. "We knew he was going to shut it down," Panthers cornerback Chris Gamble told me after the game. "That's what we wanted to do him. That's what we did. ... He'd just give up a lot ... Slow down, he's not going deep, not trying to run a route. You can tell, his body language." Gamble continued ... "I know everyone who plays against him, they can sense that. Once you get into him in the beginning of the game, he shuts it down a little bit." (Boston Globe)
Sounds a lot like Revis' comments about Owens. Both are capable of ruining a team in a hurry.
Could not agree more. These guys are fairweather players. As long as everything is going good (winning and/or piling up stats) their are model nfl citizens and team players. If not, forgetaboutit!

That name has mega bust written all over is JP Losman/Eric Flowers LMAO.
Is this a case of 2 wrongs making 1 right?

"I'm excited to come back and play center," Wood said. "It's more of a natural position for me. I played it all through college. Guard is a lot of fun. You get to throw your weight around a little bit more. But center's a position I loved in college, and I'm excited to get back to playing it."
This guy is one of my favorite players and recent draft picks. Reading the above gives me the sense that he loves playing football. Good luck on Sunday!
