  1. The problem is that even with their starting RB out, our run defense is giving up 5 yards each running play. If they can establish the run, they'll be able to play action and it won't matter how good our dbs are. With the exception of Whitner. What has he ever done?

  2. Hiding how good our defense is? I'm not puffing on that. However even if our defense on paper is worse than last year, we'll do better this year.

     

    Jauron was the substitute teacher you didn't care about listening to and slacked off on. Gailey seems to be the teacher that expects you to do well and you must answer to if you fail. I think thats what will make this year better than last year.

  3. Has an NFL player ever been convicted of rape? Given the series of violent crimes against women that they're regularly busted for, I'm fairly certain the rapes have happened. The incidence rate of rape is high enough that the 1600+ active NFL players at any given time is just randomly likely to produce a few. But I can't think of any convictions.

     

    In any case, I would guess that a conviction would be career-ending for an NFL player, even if somehow the prison sentence didn't take care of that for Goodell. Beyond that, I don't think it's unfair for the NFL to use a looser standard than the criminal justice system for determining player suspensions. Goodell's the boss, as agreed to by all parties in the last CBA and probably again whenever they work the next one out. He can make his own calls on the evidence - and his cost/benefit analysis is different than a DA in pursuing charges. Until he seems to abusing that, I don't have a problem with it. He's certainly empowered to punish league employees for non-illegal activity anyway - spygate wasn't a crime, as far as I know.

     

    Speaking of the CBA, we'll have plenty of time to talk about that next year during the lockout next season

  4. Since it seems to be the consensus and well established that the Bills particularily T. Edwards struggles against the 3-4 defense, I would like to know if anyone knows which teams play the 3-4 on our schedule. I am pretty sure all the divison opponents do and if that's the case we may be in trouble in that corner. So who else plays the 3-4 on our 2010 schedule?

    Miami Dolphins Week 1 & 15

    Green Bay Packers Week 2

    New England Patriots Week 3 & 16

    New York Jets Week 4 & 17

    Baltimore Ravens Week 7

    Pittsburgh Steelers Week 12

    Cleveland Browns Week 14

     

    So 10 out of 16 games are against 3-4 defenses

  5. You can't fault fans for being pessimistic when every other team in our division is getting better and we're treading water. Who wants to be the Baltimore Orioles of the NFL?

     

    That being said, I'm looking forward to this season. If our hodgepoge line can keep our QB's brain from being frapped, I'm interested to see what our 3 headed RB attack can do.
