[Leinart benched]

I laugh at Pete Carroll's secret plan to reconstitute the USC Trojans team in Seattle.

 

I feel for Arizona fans. They have all that weaponry on the field, legitimate contenders and it all lives or dies on Senor Hottub and Shotgun Arm.

[Hardy practiced & might play against Cincy]

I think Hardy is very expendable if:

 

1. He gets injured. Again.

2. There are WRs released from other teams that interest the front office.

[Owners want 18 games, players don't]

I'm not down for adding more regular season games. I'd rather see the NFL get creative with the playoffs and add the two games there somehow.

 

I wouldn't be disappointed in seeing preseason shortened.

[Hardy practiced & might play against Cincy]

Now we have Chad Jackson himself to take up that valuable roster spot, filling the vital role of Chad Jackson on the roster.

 

So you are saying we've out-Jacksoned ourselves?

[Hardy practiced & might play against Cincy]

I agree. Hardy is a goner. He's taking up a valuable roster spot. He's our version of what Chad Jackson was to the Patriots.

[Where does Buffalo Rank in NFL attendence?]

Man, the writing is on the wall in Jacksonville. With those crushing capacity numbers, should be renamed the Jacksonville Blackout.

 

If anybody is moving to Los Angeles, the black hole of NFL markets, it'll be Jacksonville.

[Foxsports sleeper pick for this year]

If death was the penalty for being horrific prognosticators, weather"persons" and sportswriters would go the way of the dinosaur. Those are the only two professions where you can be so wrong, so often, and still retain your job.

[First Roster Cuts: Who's Going?]

I may be in the minority, but I think they part ways with Hardy. He's always injured and taking up a roster spot. He's of little value to the team if he isn't out on the field.

[Sully is at it again but I find it hard to argue this time.]

I agree.

 

Wasn't he injured and failed a physical?

 

I don't think so. I think he's a free agent like the rest of them are.

[Sully is at it again but I find it hard to argue this time.]

I am not one to sign every single "name" out there on the waiver wire, but I was curious as to why the Bills never kicked the tires on Adalius Thomas. I know he can't move laterally worth a damn, but he can rush the quarterback and get to him.

 

And not sure you'd find anybody else with a bigger chip on his shoulder when playing NE.

[I love Gailey's style. I think he's right for this team right]

When you win six games despite being Jauroned, that's a great evaluator of talent on hand, IMHO.

[Tuesday Morning Practice: Some Impressions]

I'm shocked about John "Rasputin" McCargo.

 

I still expect him to be one of the cuts.

[Chan Gailey admonishes a group of fans]

Who heckles at training camp? Really?

 

That's embarrassing.

[You the Head Coach and Your Team Wins the Coin Toss...............]

Defer?

 

There's no deferring in football. You don't let the other team get a shot at punching you in the face first. Ever.

[Buffalo reaction to a superbowl]

I think Buffalo, and the entire sporting world would say not a thing.

 

Stunned silence. in. awe. It would eclipse the Miracle On Ice.

 

You see, Buffalo would enter the Superbowl as massive underdogs against an absolute juggernaut of an NFC team...

 

...and in righting all the wrongs of the last decade, pull out the win in the last second.

[Haynesworth is not happy in Washington]

I think it's about being smart spending the money. Haynesworth had a reputation for the behavior he demonstrates today. No amount of money or coaching is going to correct a headcase.

[QB rotation for Bengals game]

I'd like to see Brohm go up against Cincy's defensive starters. That's the true test. Flip the Brohm/Edwards order around and see if Brohm can get anything going against a fairly talented defense that shut down the Eagles last week.

[Where's all the MAYBIN defenders?]

He is a clown mentally.

 

No matter the time on the field or amount of coaching will ever change that.

[Surprise cuts this year?]

Brohm (Hate to say it, but Gailey will go with the known quantities)

 

Lankster (Woeful)

 

Mitchell (Bills will attempt to upgrade the position through castoffs)

 

McCargo (He's invisible)

 

Hardy (Always injured, taking up a valuable roster spot)

[Shawn Nelson suspended for 4 games]

Definitely wasn't taking anything "performance enhancing".

[Some very pointed opinions on the Bills:]

The Bills should put Brohm and Bell up against the Bengals starters, just to see what happens.

 

FWIW, I think Bell is the real deal. It's just that this team is loaded with running back talent, so some other NFL team is probably going to hit the lottery picking him up off the PS.

[Missed the game!]

I agree. I'd like to see BB run with the 1's.

 

I thought TE and BB did well last night. I was pleasantly surprised all the way around, with the exception of Lankster.

[Antonio Cromartie is PATHETIC]

Eh, I'd put him down there with Vick, perhaps worse.

[Jeff Garcia joins Omaha of UFL]

Omaha Nighthawks...very cool name.

[No season in 2011]

I give major credit to the Bills and Ralph Wilson relative to the CBA. Almost every team but Buffalo is so over-leveraged, with debt to their eyeballs that I don't see how a lockout can be avoided. The NFL has the highest debt load of any professional sport. You've seen the NFL lower the debt cap and put forth a very aggressive debt reduction plan.

 

The owners *need* concessions from the players to remain somewhat economically viable and to reduce all that debt. It's really not a question of negotiation.

 

The financial approach and mechanisms of the 90s and 00s are unsustainable. A lockout might do some good in that it will protect the game itself and the investments that cities (taxpayers) have made in the teams and set a course where teams are financially healthier.
