  1. Bottom line is you don't draft Bills players in fantasy this year, same as every other year. Not surprising what the article said. Good thing for us, our real world goal for these guys isn't fantasy production. It's 20 points a game as a team ... I think if we stay relatively healthy and the OL supports a run game which in turn allows Cassel to manage the passing game we can do it.
  2. Depth everywhere. We're shallow at LB, CB, and DB ... at least in terms of the defense needing to maintain a suffocating level of play if we are to win. Remember when Dareus went out last year? It was a huge blow. Bottom line, the team has too much riding on Bufalo's D being a top 1-3..truly great...defense. To do that, we can't have injuries (which always happe). In so many words, my main worry about the defense is the offense.
  3. CJ Spiller will likely bet better from here on out compared to McCoy. I've accepted it, probably best the rest of you do as well.
  4. I would go as far as to say you can't obtain quickness at all--you have it or not. Sure, you can become quicker (drop some weight, improve strength and flexibility)...but that is just relative to where you were. I don't know that I've ever seen/heard of a player who turned quickness from a weakness into an advantage.
  5. If I recall the only real knock on him was his conditioning/footwork (which I hear he has improved) and that he wasn't a "twitchy" player. Ultimately, I think we'll know this year whether he has what it takes to develop into a starter (even if he doesn't start this year).
  6. You aren't a real Bills fan if you don't want this kid to turn it around.
  7. Sadly, Simms is not clearly worse that whoever the hell our back up looks to be...and our back up is not clearly worse than whoever the hell our starter is. In ordinary times I would agree that there is no point to Simms. We live in extraordinary times.
  8. They did a great jop ramping up the urgency in the filming of that fight, particularly with the John v. Other part.
  9. Percy Harvin is the mos talented player on most NFL teams. He's probably the most talented play on ours as well.
  10. No comment on whether Cyrus Kouandjio is still trash?
  11. Rob Johnson had the offense running "as designed" in his game prior to that though...you have to acknowledge he played better that day that Flutie likely would have.
  12. Of course he's in the mix. At worst he gets as fair a shot as Cassell and Taylor, and he may get a slightly better opportunity. The question is whether you think he has a better chance of winning than Cassell or Taylor. You answer is?
  13. Hernandez was his teammate and friend and Spikes likely did not know and could not believe he was truly murdering people. What happens every time someone does something crazy? The news goes and interviews people who knew him who say "I can't believe it, he was pretty normal!" Very rarely do people who knew crazy people say, after the fact, "Yes, I knew his ass was crazy the whole time."
  14. Not sure it is a valid point to make. You throw accurately or you don't.
  15. Agreed. From Roman's perspective it's ground-hogs day. Alex Smith = Matt Cassell. Tyrod Taylor = Collin Kaepernick. He can settle for consistent average play w/ Cassell (hopefully) or take advantage of young fast legs and use Taylor. As stated in the above post...EJ appears to be the third most likely starter b/c he has no clear advantage that works for him. No track record of competent play. No abnormal physical abilities like Taylor's legs. Nothing other than his status as a recent 1st round pick.
  16. It will ultimately depend entirely on preseason performance. At this point, the most obvious pecking order appears (to me) to be: 1. Cassel. Too much talent on the roster to take a risk and he's the least risky start. I think the most likely outcome is everyone is average and nobody pulls away in camp/preseason, Cassel is given the start, has moderate success, and we ride him for the entire season unless he's injured or melts down. 2. Tyrod Taylor. Rex likes him, he's mobile, and I don't see any area where he's clearly inferior to EJ. If we instal a run heavy offense with lots of motion to take advantage of Percy and Sammy...Taylor could have the most upside of any QB. 3. EJ. EJ has been bad for us in the past and proven nothing. He's mobile but not fast. Not a viable running threat by design. I fail to see how anything other than his draft spot places him above 3 on this list (at the moment)--and I don't think Bills leadership cares about where EJ was drafted based on last season. 4. Tuel. He will likely be cut and/or on the practice squad. He's a terrible QB.
  17. Spikes is a great Vet min player to have. Reliable and going to give you something at some point, no point not to grab him.
  18. suspend his ass through the first game with the Bills
  19. EJ held FSU back. All FSU fans understand this.
  20. Quiet down you disgusting obese person. Eat a carrot once in a while.
  21. Assumption? The entire world knows what he eats. I don't even need to say it.
  22. Rob Johnson could have been good in another life.
  23. Sal is covering the hell out of rookie camp. Stretching, basic drills, and scheme installation with mostly guys who won't make the team has never seemed so exciting!
  24. Out for season torn ACL. Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter18s Jaguars' 1st-round pick Dante Fowler tore his ACL and is out for the season, league source tells ESPN. Just wow.
