The day he is carried off on a stretcher will be a great day.
Speaking of "classless," this takes the cake.

You are kidding right? I don't look at these comments as Pro Brady comments, just common sense. Are the Pats coached well? Of course they are, but how many TD passes or audibles has Belicheat made himself? He has made average NFL players (Welker, Aiken, Branch), rookie tight ends, even lineman going out as a receiver look like All Pros. He is like a precise surgeon in the game, and makes it look so easy most of the time. Do I hope that the Bills bury his face in the turf at the Ralph, of course, but am I going to sound like a retard and say he would suck if he played anywhere else-not a chance, I have more common sense then that.
Can I get an AMEN?

Why even defend Brady?? Take your bleeding heart somewhere else. Maybe to New England..............................
In addition to being a Bills fan, I'm a football fan. Watching Tom Brady carve the dolphins D with precision last week was fun. It was great football. Do I wish the Patriots would lose every week? You bet. Do I wish Brady would throw 3 TDs and 43 INTs this year? Yup. But I also know that the guy is a winner, the best QB today and one of the best to ever play the game. He's a first ballot HOFer and he's provided a lot of good football to watch over the years. I hope we pound the crap out of them, believe me. But I have nothing but respect for Brady as a football player. And there's not a damn thing wrong with that.

Like many of you I am satisfied with this team’s direction and growth over the last 18 games under the Gailey/Nix regime, but I wouldn’t characterize my state as euphoric, intoxicated, or oblivious like too many of you including Sullivan. A cold dose of reality will sweep over the emotional fan base with the arrival of Brady and company on Sunday; my estimate is around 2:15 PM EST, almost like the Aztecan calendar. Still too many holes and too little time removed from the Marv Levy/Tom Modrak administration. Concerns that I have:
• A woeful pass rush; was Modrak very influential in last year’s draft class as limited gems have materialized from that pool of selections as well, especially Troupe and Carrington;
• Staying with the pass rush, I believe it is confirmed, Merriman certainly has lost multiple steps, not just the proverbial “step!” I like the emotion, brute strength, and determination, but his explosiveness is clearly lacking, just maybe it can be blamed on game conditioning, which truly has no similarities with a martial arts studio/training regime.
• Even I was fooled with the depth of this secondary as there is none. Frankly, I would bench McKelvin and start Aaron Williams, it can’t be any worse. Also, for the life of me, I can’t understand how management didn’t make a play for Brandon Meriweather, he certainly has experience with both the Patriots and Jets and would the drop off from George Wilson really be that far?
• The Andre Davis signing is, well, just that a signing; Sheppard has made enough plays on special teams to deserve a chance to displace this free agent bust. I love the kid’s intensity;
• We don’t have enough speed at the wide out position; we really need some explosiveness at that position, including the tight end, and no I am not lamenting on the Lee Evans trade, which I totally supported and was unquestionably the correct move; lastly
• For everything great about Fitzpatrick, he is still inaccurate and his arm lacks zip. Let’s face it, competent secondary play by the Raiders yesterday would have resulted in two or three picks and fans headed to the exits early in the forth.
I am hoping for Titans/Ravens type shocker on Sunday, but I just don’t see it. Hopefully it is tight and not the classic NE vs. Bills blowout that we have all become accustom to.
I told myself I wouldn't spend these minutes of my life responding to this, but I had to.
Not quite sure what you expected this year. And I'm also not sure what you're looking at when you're watching the Bills. No speed at the WR position? No explosiveness from a TE? Fitz's arm is inaccurate and lacks zip (game winning TD pass against Oakland, anyone?)? Sure, Merriman isn't sacking QBs left and right (two games, mind you), but he's been part of a defense that has stymied two of last year's best running backs in consecutive weeks. The secondary - they have one bad performance from McKelvin against Oakland and now they suck? The team has obviously shown improvement from last year.
I don't know what the point of this post is and I don't know why I've spent these minutes that I'll never get back, responding to it. I, for one, was not expecting playoffs this year; I wasn't expecting to beat the Patriots this year. From what I've seen, personally, so far - both of those things are more possible than I would have ever dreamed. And that makes me a happy Bills fan.
Cheers.

Want proof Brady is an arsehole? Go back and read the Esquire interview with him from 3-4 years ago in which he talks about enjoying running up the score, including on the Bills. Just once I' d love to see the tables turned and see us beat them by 40 (ok, maybe more than once)....
If a team doesn't want the score run up on them, then they should play some defense. This isn't high school; it's the pros. Brady is the best QB in the league and one of the best ever. Get over it.
-
I had no idea the Bills and Raiders each played 17 games last year. Brilliant!
-
I usually enjoy reading the power rankings from different sources. But this has to be the most idiotic, uniformed power rankings list I've ever seen. The Eagles at number 3? Seriously? This is ridiculously flawed ... and not just by having the Bills as 27.
-
I'd say Fitz, but give a write-in to Byrd. He played his butt off all day yesterday ... as did the whole Defense.

Were you in a coma the past 7 years?
I must have been in a coma when Andre Reed led the Bills to hoisting a Lombardi Trophy. I am not even coming close to saying Lee Evans was as good of a Bills WR as Andre Reed was. Not stupid. My point is that someone called Lee Evans a career loser. What defines a winner? Being part of a team with a winning record, or being part of a Super Bowl champion team?
-
We will only sign no-name guys from scrao heap at minimal money that have chance of stating on any NFL team and maybe they could be backups. Once someone gets hurt on our OL we will be in on Luck sweepstakes.
This is so insightful and original. Blah, blah, blah, yawn, zzzzzzzzzzzzz ..................

History? Let's see:
83 Harrison (Hatch) Rosdahl, Bobby Crockett, Clyde Glossen, Bob Christiansen, Sherman White, Preston Dennard, Andre Reed, Dave Moore, Lee Evans
Other than the great Andre Reed, I don't see anyone else worthy. Evans was OK but still a career loser, and I was never much of a Sherman White fan.
Evans and Reed have the exact same number of Super Bowl rings. So why is Evans the career loser?
-
I'd say let Reed make the HOF before they talk about retiring his number. Until it's retired, it's fair game. Who really gives a crap?

Wow, Pat Moran sure has been busy!

ESPN replaced an aging has been (Clayton) with a young, unproven up and comer (Schefter) and it worked out well for them.

He's a jerk. Tennessee should put him on IR and let him rot.

This, BY FAR, is the best post I have ever read between 11:29am and 11:30am on the last Tuesday of any month. Bravo.
-
He looks a hell of a lot better than Painter in Indy.
-
Done. God Bless and good luck.

Maybin got a sack this preseason, too.
-
This has the makings of an absolutely epic thread.

I found this to be a very fair write-up. The only definites are that they addressed the run defense, added an offensive weapon and that the team is headed in the right direction. All very positive. Everything else is up in the air ... including a losing record. As PTR said ... that's why they play the games. You never know.
-
Perhaps the funniest comment to come out of Saturday's telecast thanks to Ray Bentley: "CJ Spiller is hoping to avoid a sophomore slump".....did a double take with that one. If he has a slump this year then he'll be right up there with Maybin!
He would have to run backwards all season to have a slump. That said, I think his learning curve is just a little longer ... coupled with the fact that he was part of a terrible team last year. As the team improves, so will C.J. .... I think/hope.

I loved the Hardy pick. Guy caught 36 TDs at Indiana and came into the NFL at 6'5". He was billed as a more physically gifted version of Plaxico Burress. And when he caught that game winner in the back of the end zone against Jacksonville, I thought he was going to do that every Sunday for years to come. The light never went on for him and he just couldn't put it together on the field. He had the talent but his lack of maturity and focus killed his career.
Exactly.

I used "realfine" as a DH Gate seller (based on a tip from another TBD member). My jerseys are on the way (2 of them for $64). They have pics of their products on the website.
