I just hope its not flag city if we get a couple shots on Brady just after he releases the ball.
This is just an unsubstantiated hunch on my part, but I have this feeling that the days of blatant Tom Brady favoritism are over. I have NOTHING to back this up. It's just a feeling I have. Guess we'll see in 4 days.

I think ... with NE's depleted/young receiving corps, as well as Brady's tender knee ... getting in his face and knocking him on his ass early and often is the only way to go.

I will be bringing the following food, all locally (or nearly local) produced:
2.5 lbs of sausage links (half hot, half sweet) - From Parillos in Saratoga
3 lbs of frankfurters - from Glaziers in Potsdam
1 LB of maple bacon from Oscar's Smokehouse in Warrensburg
A 2 LB batch of chili with venison from a deer shot in the Adirondacks.
I'm also bringing a 2 lb. king salmon steak (caught in Lake Ontario, so this is not of my local flavor).
I'll also bring a bag of charcoal for whomever is slinging the grub.

Our K-Mart's parking lot is 98% empty 363 days/year. The two days before Christmas, it's only 92% empty. No idea how it's still open. It was a "Super K" with the groceries, but they closed that part down last year.

Ranks, Rastro!!
Oh ... wait ...

I'm gonna go with two stats; one for each team.
1. We need to win the turnover war.
2. Brady needs to be inaccurate (due to pressure); so I'm saying we need his completion % to be below 50.
Go Bills!

I remember when DC Tom's wife got caught passing school buses and the judge made her wear a sign.
Bad times, man. Bad times.

Try this some time...local fresh corn on the cob, husked and cleaned, brushed with olive oil. Then sprinkle on fresh chopped basil and mint. Wrap in foil, grill about 20 mins. I do 5 minutes, then flip it for another 5. Then do 10-15 minutes indirect heat while the meat is cooking. You will be pleasantly surprised.
I've always soaked the corn in water for an hour or two and grilled it with the husks intact. But this year, I've been experimenting a little with the husked corn in foil and I've enjoyed it. Never tried the mint, but I will.

Byrd won't miss many games, if any. Gilmore will probably miss 4 and once he is back, the CB corps will be much-improved. Legursky is a backup. WRs are better than before. There will be some growing pains, but the rest of the division isn't that great and the sked is manageable.
This is exactly how I see it (I have some fear that Byrd may miss more than a couple games, however). I don't see our schedule as daunting as most. Great point about Legursky, too. If there has ever been a perennially poor-performing offensive line, it's been Pittsburgh's.
We are healthier at RB.
Better and deeper at WR.
Better at CB.
Better at LB.
Chandler is healthy.
Dareus and the Williamses are healthy.
We have a DC with recent success - for a division rival, nonetheless.
Chan is gone.
We were worse off last season in each of those areas ... And we STILL could have won almost every game our putrid D gave away (or Fitz failed to assemble a game-winning drive).
Accuse me of being a homer or looking through rose-colored glasses all you want. I don't see anything factual being presented that suggests this year's Bills are not better than last year's Bills. More importantly, I don't see where the Jets, Dolphins or the Patriots have gotten any better; from where I'm sitting, they all got worse.
GO BILLS!!!!

I guess they hang resin filled tea bags from the piers to reduce the toxins.
Interesting... I wonder if it like the same resin in a water softener... The little beads that use ion-exchange to make the water soft. ??
I guess it goes back to the old saying, don't eat shellfish in months with an "R". ??
I read about Peyton Manning getting in trouble for hanging tea bags whilst at Tennessee.

Last night I cooked a 2.25 pork loin over indirect heat on the charcoal grill. Made garlic mashed and also grilled some summer squash.

Ok..if you say so.
Shirley, you can figure that out, CGF!

He is only off by one.
We're winning the division.

Kurt Warner went thru this very thing and ended up in a grocery store. He got an offer from an Arena league team. He realized it was his only option after being cut a time or two from training camps.
Please...no, I'm not comparing his ability to Kurt Warner.
As I see it Tebow really only has two options left.
Option 1 would be to try out for the CFL as a QB which I believe the Montreal franchise owns his rights up there.
Option 2 would be to try and become the 2nd best H back and the 2nd best TE on a roster. Maybe even chip in at special teams. Maybe even have a wildcat package to sprinkle in occasionally. Be an emergency QB. The kid is a good strong athlete and could possibly contribute in that versatility role.
The NFL is pretty much a numbers game and having him on a roster as a QB...at this point in time is not the best use of a roster spot. He needs to be open to contributing in other areas than QB to make a roster spot worth it.
Whatever the case, I wish him well.
With due respect, I don't understand why people think he will be a candidate for a QB position in the CFL. His two weaknesses are reading defenses and throwing the football. Those weaknesses will make him stink in Canada, too.
Furthermore, I don't know why people think he would be a decent running back or tight end. He's never done either of those things. Just because he has shown the ability to scramble for a few yards on broken plays (broken because he really doesn't understand football) doesn't mean he can be successful in either a RB or a TE role.
My opinions about Tebow the person, aside, I think what he has proven is that he isn't good enough to be an NFL football player. Since there are only 1,696 of those positions available in the world, he's got nothing to be ashamed of.

Kudos to the OP for having the balls to put his work up for comment. I'll leave it at that.

I Remember this being one time where I respected the hell out of Gailey. The way I recall it, Meachem wanted to be a premiere receiver and Gailey was very honest with him and told him Stevie was our guy. That's why Meachem went elsewhere.

It'd be terrific to pick up Kluwe
Sweet Jesus, can you imagine the 74 page thread on Kluwe nicknames?

Excellent effort. I am a fan of simplicity. The closer they get to the old days, the happier I get.

May 8th 2008 was my quit day...May must be the quit month! Still want a smoke every once in a while...
May 8th is my wedding anniversary date. At least one of us did something that will help us live longer.

Awesome...should have seen me five years ago..pack and half of Red Marlboros a day, 45 extra pounds.....5k then might as well of been 100 miles.
GL on the training
Funny you say that. 15 months ago I was 38 pounds heavier and smoked over a pack of Marb lights/day. I've got 10 more pounds to go to get to my target weight and I haven't had a smoke since May 16th, 2012.
The 5k is going to be a huge deal for me. I am super-excited.
And congrats on your achievements!
Edit: thank you!!

I mean I knew all of this, but for some reason, seeing it in this nicely presented paragraph just makes it seem so much worse.
I want to step back in time and read Astro's training camp notes.

Tell us how you really feel. LOL. The "over-hyped bum" comment is childish & pathetic, and it reflects poorly on you. Very poorly.
He is an over-hyped bum. His sole purpose is to get onto a roster, then create enough turmoil to disrupt the team enough for him to back into playing.
He did it in Denver. He basically ruined a real QB's (Orton) career.
He is a fraud. He prays when the cameras are on him and says all the stupid, "aww, shucks, I'm a do whatever coach needs me to do. I'm a work real hard and make coach real proud."
Puke
He's a fake. He's a bum. And most importantly, he sucks at football.

Let's analyze the guys who wore #11 (especially the QBs)

We may not blitz Brady on Sunday

Did Kyle Williams, Mario Williams or Marcel Dareus play against Washington?
Not a smart ass question; a serious one. I don't think any of them played, which would explain getting shredded.
