Hmmm read wikipedia but got a little bit out of it and it said the city wouldnt fund the arena renovations that a new ownership group wanted so they left... lets pay for all the bills renovation haha

Has anyone heard of a team being relocated that had a solid fan base?? The supersonics maybe? I dont really know why that happened though ill have to do some research but I dont see a team that sells out its stadium moving.. wouldnt they raise prices first?

???????

I guess he was all the way on the right side of the field though chasing down the ball carrier which is what you want... maybin has made some decent plays and no matter what time of the game it is he is still showing some ability that he didnt show here... I dont care if he does well or not but honestly wish him well

dont feed the crayonz

he stripped reggie bush in the first half when the score was either still 7-3 or 14-3 thats not garbage time at all. Running down reggie bush 11 yards from the LOS is no small task and was a very good play. see above

not really

I think they are worried about CJ because of what lesean did to them, kinda the same mold of player.

how is VA beach getting pitt instead of the Bills Giants... its all skins fans in this area you would think they would get the NFC East game

I'm pretty positive you are F$^&ing with me but here it is anyway... "In Weeks 10-15, the schedule lists the games tentatively set for Sunday Night Football on NBC. Only Sunday afternoon games are eligible to be moved to Sunday night, in which case the tentatively scheduled Sunday night game would be moved to an afternoon start time. Flexible scheduling will not be applied to games airing on Thursday, Saturday or Monday nights. "

No its because they dont switch the week that you meet an ooponent.

...

Did you mean switching our week 10 game with miamis week 12 game??? I am pretty sure nothing like that has ever happened. sarcasm?

His reply: "Chris, The point of that piece wasn't to criticize the three Bills' safeties, they're all playing very well. My reference was to the fact the linebackers have been so ineffective that the three of them have made way more tackles than they should have ... given their position. That cliche is normally used among coaches, though I've had a few say it to me. Their point is, if your safeties are making a lot of tackles, the line and linebackers aren't doing their job, meaning tackles are being made in the secondary after substantial gains. All the best, Chuck" Well this thread was pretty bad but I think some saw where I was coming from, I didnt mean to accuse a media member of making up quotes.

Alright I was wrong, my bad guys.

Hahahhaaha thanks for jumping all over me. I was wrong I ge that. I understand why that would be the case if your safeties are forced to make a lot of tackles. I didnt hear it so often that it would be one of the oldest cliches. My point was that I dont think that is our problems. I think that the play of George Wilson kind of alluded to that fact on sunday. I also pointed out that Barnett is in the top ten of the league for tackles. Thats what you want from your MLB. Our other LBs may be suspect and maybe the DL hasnt had that many stops. Is our DL and OLB that far behind from others in the league? That wasnt trying to get out of it as im obviously still here. Take it as me being thin skinned about that or however you want I just thought that your sarcasm was uncalled for. Maybe its just you sticking up for a fellow journalist but I still dont see where that quote came from and thats what I meant by him "making it up". Maybe I should have quit and this is probably just digging it deeper but I didnt agree with the article so i contacted him and put it here to see some other points of view. The 15 yarder and the 53 yarder are the only long runs. That average is bad and I wont leave the 53 yarded out even though it was a broken play scramble.

I said that I would accept it if others had heard it.I didnt accuse him of making up the cliche I meant that as the quote I thought it would be from a coach or an analyst but the only thing I could find is that mark richt comment that is vaguely similar.

I understand that and as i said if people have heard of it I can accept that, I do think it does reflect on most teams especially last years bills. However, if you look at the TFL stats while not that impressive those same 3 DBs also lead in those categories and watching George Wilson constanly right at the line of scrimmage I dont think it reflects very well on this years team.

I get the premise behind it and them being the last line of defense but watching george wilson on sunday I dont think its the case for this team. Now i remember why it isnt enjoyable to post here.

Mark Richt (horrible coach) also said this "Then when it does come and there’s a lead blocker on them, that they do have to fit properly and try to get things to bounce outside. That’s what you hope to do with a team like this. If they start splitting you vertically, you are in trouble. Your safeties are trying to make tackles and it’s going to be a long day" I guess i can come to grips with the fact that it has been said in some fashion. One of the oldest cliches i think not.

Can you find me any other article that has ever made reference to it? I havent heard it and will accept it if others have but I thought by his quotes he pulled it for somewhere or a coach had said it in the past and I find nothing when searching for it.

Its a statement that was entirely true of last years team and somewhat of this years. However it is not a football cliche. He pretty much just made it up.

I have to disagree

http://www.oleantimesherald.com/editorial/article_18504a0e-f413-11e0-9e29-001cc4c03286.html I had to write back to this because I thought the article was idiotic but I can generally see the direction he was coming from. I also didnt even mention that Byrd, Wilson, and Barnett are in the top ten in the league in tackles. So having a MLB in the top ten is probably where you want ur D to be. Sir, I recently read your article criticizing the Buffalo Bills defense. You stated “And that brings to mind one of football’s oldest clichés: “You’re in big trouble defensively when your safeties are making the tackles.”” I was wondering where this cliché came from, why is it quoted? I have been a football fan for a number of years and have never heard this be said. Also you don’t make mention that of the three members of the defensive backfield (Wilson, Byrd, and Scott) they also lead the team in tackles for loss. While I understood the background for your article because the defense is giving up a lot of yards I don’t think it has anything to do with the safeties making tackles and more on the trend in this year’s NFL to gain a lot of yards. I look forward to reading your response and discovering the origins of “one of footballs oldest clichés”.
