Green Lightning

Probably one of the dumbest articles I've seen. So Sanchez,Henne and Farve rank BELOW Fitzy. Fine. That means in the AFC East, only Brady is better. Whatever. Those stats are just crap to read while waiting for football to begin again. All I can tell you is when you get into the face of any QB they look really average. Brady, Marino, all of them. You pressure them and they don't look so great. This speaks more to our OL than anything else right now. It amuses me that so many on this board (and on this thread) get so high and mighty on "Fitz is not a franchise QB." So? He's better what was available to us in the Draft and Chan and Buddy will go get a guy who's better when and if they appear.

Hondo, send me your updates and I won't have to spend so much time on this board!

Grew up Buffalo but have lived in many other places for 25 years. Now I live just down the 90 in Rochester. The Bills are just part of who I am and nothing can displace them. It's kinda weird when I consider how much real estate the team occupies in my thoughts. I'm on this board a couple of times a day. The first time I heard the term "Bills Nation" I knew I belonged and would forever.

Interesting point on how the Bills will be less affected by the lock-out than many other teams. It was nice to read a straight up piece on the Bills instead of the usual sneering and dissing we often receive. Thanks for posting.

Let's start a Dan Darragh thread......

Your posts in particular make it a wasted thread. Not to mention you used up your annual allotment of emoticons and it's only May.

wow, when global mods and hall of famers mix it up it's a fun read. The rest of TSW should model the respectful tone! That said, the OP is dead on here. Wilson is letting the football guys call the shots and for the first time in a long time, our FO actually has football guys running it.

Your take is just how I see it. You'll see Carrington, Troup, Batten, Moats and Spiller making much bigger contributions this year. Add to the mix Wannstache and I expect our D to be a lot better.

I completely agree. Getting Whaley in the first place tells us the Buddy is thinking years ahead and picking his successor. I loved that about Buddy. Since the first day I heard him talk, he just put my mind at ease about our future. Finally a football guy calling the shots. Buddy, Chan and Whaley are a great team and I haven't heard Russ speak in quite awhile. This team is being built right and from the trenches out. LOVE IT!

We just ran a 4-3 for ten years and we sucked. There's a reason why teams like a 3-4 - it works. Besides, we're running a hybrid. I also liked Moneyball, but the team that most exemplifies the concept is the Oakland A's, and they winn a lot of games but now championships. The Red Sox and Cheatriots use aspects of the concept but they drop a ton of green behind it to get to the top.

A thread is a terrible thing to waste....

No, because Napoleon would have ruled Europe so the Kaiser would never have risen to power and.... Well you see how this would affect the whole Norwood question.

What a waste of a thread.

What if Napolean had a B-2 bomber?

Agreed. KW should have been on the list - but that's where it ends. Now for next year, Dareus will break into that group!

Now that is funny..

Stroud is a class individual and was a great player. I'd wish him much success but only if he gets out of the AFC East!

cid:1.3354074310@web114305.mail.gq1.yahoo.com How the He'll does that not fire you up? I can't wait to see this guy suit up.

I would have too if I only had two healthy H-Backs with one of them getting old. So you must be writing in between geometry and shop class. Likely the guy who gets stuffed in lockers and couldn't climb the rope in gym class. Ease your hostility little bro. And BTW, I'm certain you can import a few other emoticons from app store somewhere.

Did you trip on the ice as kid? Wife run off with a goalie? Unusual hostility for a sport. I'm not a fan of curling but I'm not bitter about it. I can see you in a dive hotel with one 35 watt bare light bulb on scowling at a beat up rabbit ears TV about hockey......

Yeah, looks like I'm downwind of an emoticon b'slappin!

The Jets window of opportunity has come and gone. They have some good players but lack the character and coaching to be champions. They will do well this year but lose again in the playoffs. All the time the Bills will be improving and coming hard and in a few years knock them off before the Jets even sniff the big game. So let Spag's rant. We're having some fun on TSW.

Hey emoticon boy, did CJ not sign an autograph of something for you? Why the hostility? The board gets the diff between yards from scrimmage and all-purpose yards. We get what the OP was saying. You're the one just seething negativity about CJ. Jesus Beevis, calm the hell down and let the rest of us be upbeat on CJ's chances of breaking out this year. Is there an emoticon for a little cloud that cries...that's what you come off like.

Many of us surmised as much. Maybe we ought to sign Elam and let them have Donte. As long as DJ is looking for DE's, let's move Kelsay to the Bronwies for some of the boatload of draft picks they traded down to get.

Dre is big on thumbs down emoticons today judging by a few threads already. CJ is going to produce this year. Be positive about the guy.
