ugh where is the upvote feature!

There are more DB's on the field than any other position every play. Almost half the field on a given play(5). Every team should be taking a DB in the first 3 rounds every draft. Hating on Nix and Jauron for this was flat out stupid. Hating on Mckelvin is a different story. I do think his contract is pretty friendly for us though. I think most of the anti- DB people are also sky is falling people in the PS. It doesn't mean they wont be wrong, but it for sure doesn't mean they know more than us.

this is it. either feast or famine. I have posted on a lot of other threads about a lot of subs. The coaches either know whats going on with their starters and system and they are evaluating talent, or the are being outclassed. I like Doug Marrone and Whaley quite a bit, and I think it could work, but this is the nightmare I am t trying to suppress in the back of my head I don't think the panic is necassary through the pre-season. I think we should taper all excitement and depression, but thing are eithe good or bad right now. Realistically I think we go between 10-6 and 6-10. I know that seems broad, but I think we are very very average which is OK considering all of our newbies

i hate you and your mother

could it be similar to Brady being questionable for the last 12 decades. The lack of info from the FO and coaching staff is really causing TBD to explode, and I feel like nobody can see it.

Jesus man. Shooting from the hip are we. At 75, the roster is carrying about a third more players than it is allowed. 1 of 3 players will be cut, without taking into account starters that are GARAUNTEED a spot and didn't dress. Most players you saw today will never own another NFL uniform. On another note, which other teams are playing with 2 QB's that have Alden the play book for approximately 4 practices. Only running the ball makes things tough. Objectivity and a level head are obviously are scarce commodity these days.

Chris Kelsay, is that you?

By your own rule of Brady being +5 wins per year, which is actually pretty fair to say. Any team with Brady gets approximately 5 extra wins per season, compared to one without. Their records without him those years are 9-7, 8-8, and 7-9. It is obviously not perfect or exact, nor are those terrible records by Bills standards. Those numbers are average and beatable, which is a HUGE fall from grace, because with Brady they are one of, if not the best team in the NFL

Huh? it is the 4th PS game. I think we will be ok even if we score zero points. It literally means nothing. If we trounce the Lions, we should be the Pats by a million on Sunday. I think we are over-weighting the preseason. The sky is not falling because of the 3rd PS game, and it won't fall if we get beat by the lions. The doom and gloom is getting old

Dareus and Mario when lined up together have looked pretty dominant out there. I understand that you have to shift things around, but those two should stay together on the right side of that line. For the most part anyways. Also I noticed, Pettine is subbing a ton of players in and out between plays, seems like more than normal. It could be pretty hard for us as fans, to see what the real talent is because of it. We may not see our top D out there for more than 1 or 2 plays in a row

you know what would stop the over-paying of athletes, guaranteed contracts, ie cut or not, players get paid. to play devils advocate, Hernandez has yet to be convicted of anything, he should be paid for everything up to his release. the idea that anything illegal is included is is ludicrous. speeding? jay walking? disturbing the peace? innocent until proven guilty please (AH is a piece of crap, and i hope he roasts)

How does this affect current and future players? Players yet to be affected by traumatic brain injuries? At some point the information will/has to be presented to a court correct?

I think you are getting caught up in the word surgery, a flushing out of the knee or a drain are not the same meaning as what I think you are linking it to.

I am. My girlfriends aunt was Doug Marrone's secretary at SU, so she scored us some tickets. I am amped to see the new team, and I think Manuel starts.

Think of how terrible of shape we would be in had we drafted Nassib. At least Manuel will be there to fall back on. Right now Nassib is comfortably in 4th on the depth chart, behind David Carr, and a terrible Curtis Painter. Remember how terrible this guy was when Peyton went down. The giants spent a 4th on Nassib, so sadly the loser of the backup role gets the boot, while Nassib learns some more. Realistically from what I have seen Nassib and Tuel are pretty even, and the homer in me is going to give the edge to Tuel. This situation is really a win for the front office when you break it down that way!

It is dead money. We aren't 20 mil under the cap, Fitz's and others contracts are taken into account, the Bills are saving cash. We do have quite a few contracts to re-up next year. The Bills will be a little close next year to the cap, but the following year will be made in the shade

then what would we do at fs

Jesus Christ. Look for Aaron Williams to leave the safety position now

Cutting George Wilson is tough on us right now, although he wasnt good last season. Searcy is playing out if position at FS with Byrds absence. It is more of a preseason issue than a regular season issue. Look for him to move back underneath week one with Byrds return. Both those moves will help the secondary, and are an instant upgrade with what we are fielding now. Aaron Williams will then come in back up either Searcy or line up at corner in large receiver sets is my guess.

I feel like he could just stand where the left OG is supposed to line up, and that would be an upgrade from what we have now

Brad Still may not make the final roster

Skill set is great, dude likes to party a lot and not study. Sadly my issue with this is his head, with a rookie QB that'll need help along the way. Leinart is useless there. I would rather have a mon-mobile Leftwhich, or somebody with a lesser skill set and better head

I didn't get to watch the game until tonight, it actually wasn't AS terrible as the numbers suggest, for one reason. It looked like we left plays on the field in the first quarter. I noticed the D line was being shaken up quite a bit, Dareus and Mario being used sparingly. Not happy at all. A lot of over pursuit, looking for the big play on D, but really aggressive. Mario and Dareus when lined up next to each other, is the best combo at any position on the team.

2- I thought Gilmore was the only guy stopping every pass from being a TD. The guy regularly pulled off of his man to make a play on the receiver. 3- Totally agree. Wood is also a very talented center. Locking him up is a must, the only sticking point will be how much, which depends on injury this season. I suspect he remains a Bill for a reasonable price. 7- I think people don't give Gailey enough credit for getting a lot out of Spiller and Freddie. We will see what Spiller is made of this year. He may not be the same as last year, but it should be fun. 9- Agreed there will be a learning curve with a whole new coaching staff. Am I the only one who thought Marrone looked defeated during his presser. That had me a little worried. Also it seems like the press are just pushing Doug's buttons at this point, asking the same questions over and over again. I wanted to punch who ever was asking the first set of questions about injuries 10- Agreed. When Mario and Dareus are lined up next to each other, they seem to be almost undefendable, especially on that right side. I haven't noticed Kyle at all yet, which I guess isn't the worse thing in the world. Hopefully he rebounds

Gailey's failure as a HC was his lack of control over the defensive side of the ball, and failure to upgrade the QB position. His offensive scheming was right on the money, he created something out of nothing. He is a good OC. We will see some growing pains with EJ and Hackett. More so than EJ, Marrone's career may be more dependent on Hackett's success. He was a bold pick for OC. Marrone cannot afford to fail at th QB position with Hackett in the drivers seat. He can get a pass on one or the other, but not both.
