Rob's House

Have you ever heard of taking one for the team?

I've never gotten the group shower thing or why people walk around the locker room naked. I graduated from HS in 95 and occasionally a few guys would shower after gym, but it was rare. I never partook and have no desire to be naked in the presence of other men unless we're doing high 5s over some chick's back. I feel dirty & disturbed just from having read this thread.

If y'all get a chance check out Mettenberger from LSU. I've only seen a few of his games, but he looks like the real deal. Good arm, accurate, finds the open guy. He's not fast but at 6'5", 230 lb. he's got ideal size. If I was trying to build a franchise I'd take him in the 1st and his best WR Odell Beckam (sp?) in the second, if they were available.

He certainly fits a need, although I don't think he's got the weight to play TE. I see him more as a V Jackson type receiver if his game translates to the NFL. One concern I have is he comes off like he's mildly retarded, but if he can produce, hey.

I'm with you. I've said it elsewhere, but I'm afraid we'll have a top QB prospect available when we pick, and we'll pass on him b/c we went all in on EJ, & then we find out EJ is more Jason Campbell than Juice Newton and we're back at square 1.

I don't know that Frank Summers is that guy (although it'd be nice to see us try it at least once) but I'm thinking of someone more along the lines of Mike Tolbert, Peyton Hillis, McGahee, or Alstott type guy. I was high on Jalston Fowler (AL), but he's been injured and his status after recovery remains to be seen. I'd also like a Colt Lyerla (OR) style player - a TE/FB/HB who is versatile, big, strong, tough, and aggressive - He seems to have gone off the tracks, but I'd still take a flier on him a la Da'Rick. And I think our O-line is good, but a steam roller LG would help here too.

Yes, we have great backs - CJ is the most explosive back in the league and Fred is a great all around back and team leader, but we don't have anyone to act as a bull dozer and plow through the line for that extra yard on the goal line. Sadly, we haven't had that since Willis McGahee left town (and don't even think to say Lynch, he didn't run with effective power until his second year in Seattle), which not coincidentally was the last time we had a winning season. If we had a power running game, with a bowling ball style runner or a big bodied straight line power back, we'd have won today and we'd have won against Cinci too.

Well said

Oh my !@#$ing God. What did you guys expect out of a UDFA rookie? Yeah, he was bad. It's funny because when our first round pick sucks ass we're all reminded that he's a rookie, but when a guy who's lucky to make the roster plays a similarly poor game we get unbridled outrage. Simmer down, people. I know it's aggravating. I'm mad too, but let's not blast this kid for being in this position.

I don't get why the league even tests for the stuff. I get testing for steroids, but pot is hardly a performance enhancing drug. Are they worried that he'll eat up all the donuts at the team meeting? I already feel sorry for you.

It's funny how the political leanings of these crazed killers is essential to understanding their motivations until they prove to be leftists, then it becomes an irrelevant coincidence.

I've not researched this thoroughly so perhaps I've missed something. Aren't these subsidies part of the Medicaid expansion & only available to people in states that signed on?

20 passes from a rookie UDFA seeing his first NFL action coming off the bench in prime time in the 5th game of the season on the road told me everything I'll ever need to know about the guy. If you can't be cool collected & proficient in that scenario what hope is there?

"Plan B" is Hillarycare, but really that was the plan all along.

I'm still trying to figure out how these exchanges add value for anyone. So far I've got nothing.

Since they liked him so much, think they'd give a 2nd for him?

To put this thread back to its stated purpose: What's with all the brain dead dipshits that have declared Flynn the sorriest POS to ever suit up on account of SEA & OAK cutting ties? In SEA he lost out to Russel Wilson, one of the top young QBs in the league, & they didn't want to pay starter money to a back up. So I really don't see how we get to Flynn sucks from here, so I guess most of these tards are deferring to the Oakland braintrust to do their thinking for them. So moving on to OAK. Two things are going on here: 1. R. Pryor played a lot better than anyone expected, 2. OAK wants to utilize an athletic QB in their offense (Flynn doesn't fit that). And let's not forget OAK is the team that cut their 4th rd rookie QB before the start of the season. This isn't a conventionally run team. So as far as I can tell he's garbage b/c he lost out to Russel Wilson & b/c of a decision Oakland made. Pretty compelling **** right there.

I couldn't tell if it was poor line play or if the defense just fully committed to the run, but it seemed like Jackson & Choice both had someone in their face as soon as they touched the ball.

I agree the Bills will beat the Chiefs. But then, I also thought the Bills would beat the Saints, so...

The question wasn't whether we should or shouldn't, but rather, what would have to happen for you to say we should.

Let me rephrase the question. So if you're Whaley, it's draft day 2014, it's your pick, and there's a guy who you think has franchise QB written all over him, you pass on that because why?

Now that it seems EJ is safe from Thad Lewis, what would have to happen for us to draft another QB in rd 1 this year?

Not that I want Lewis (I want Mettenberger) but in our W against the Ravens didn't EJ fumble twice & throw 2 ints?

Yeah, that was the difference today.

Horse ****. Bills made some mistakes & Saints got some breaks. This loss is maddening precisely because you're wrong and the Bills should have won this game.
