yep

Just so you know - if Poz had called time out - it would have been a 15 yard penalty. You can't call consecutive time outs without an intervening play. As to the actual play - SOMEBODY f-d up and it wasn't Poz - no way SHOULD the coverage have been him on Johnson by himself. So either the DC screwed up or a specific player blew the coverage.

I expect he must be or is expected to be KFFL.com is reporting the Bills expect him to play "spot duty" IF they deem he is physically fit to play. (per Chris brown)

My understanding is that there would be a draft. Underclassmen would have the option, of course, of not entering the draft but they would be risking injury at the college level by playing. I do not know if any of the drafted players would get paid anything but the owners might set up some system where contracts are signed with contingencies. I cannot see the draft order changing if an entire year is lost. Thus, the 2012 draft would have the same draft order as 2011 if a strike canceled out 2011 and then 2012 returned as per usual.

Texans | Aaron Schobel works out Tue, 28 Sep 2010 14:28:33 -0700 Retired DL Aaron Schobel worked out for the Houston Texans Tuesday, Sept. 28, but decided to remain retired, according to NFL.com. "Part of me wanted to do it," Schobel said. "It wasn't meant to be. We couldn't agree on terms. They saw me for what I am today and not for what I can be. It's over." sooooooo aaron is out .....of....retirement ooops he's back in ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5581180 As the NFL continues to show signs of having trouble marketing itself, the prospect of a team moving from an established fanbase diminishes. Note in the article how the Oakland Raiders' home opener against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday will be blacked out too. California is not showing stellar interest in NFL game attendance that's for sure. I am sure, a 2011 Lockout will help matters

Grant is now gone for the year

The update is that Grant is gone for the year. (kffl.com) Packers | Ryan Grant done for the year Tue, 14 Sep 2010 10:51:30 -0700 Green Bay Packers RB Ryan Grant (leg, ankle) will miss the rest of the season with right leg and ankle injuries, according to FOXSports.com's Jay Glazer. Grant will be placed on the Injured Reserve list. ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that Grant will have surgery to fix a torn ligament in his ankle that will have him on crutches for 10 to 12 weeks. He will also have a screw inserted into his lower leg to help the injury heal, according to NFL.com's Steve Wyche.

I, too, spoke with Kenny on Sunday - at that time he said he would be moving to the RV Lot but it sounds like he is considering other options. I thought hammer's would be great but I suppose Kenny's concerns are valid. I don't know - it angers me with all the new gestapo-like tactics going on and accelerating. Tailgating is a huge part of the experience and the Bills are playing with fire if they mess around with it like they are doing. I understand the Bills concerns when it comes to drunken driving after the game but the Tailgating prior to the game - with the exception, I suppose of the risk of fires, is not much of a risk IMO and Kenny's is a Landmark Tradition. Screwing with that is just plain stupid. I can't imagine a Jimbo-owned team messing with this. Perhaps I am wrong though. It sounded to me like the Bills are planning on assigned spaces next year. No first come first served?? What a nightmare. On another note - and there is a second thread discussing fan behavior already - I have been to a lot of Bills losses going back to the early 70's but I have never been so disappointed in fan behavior as I was last Sunday. I sit in section 311 - I get my season tickets through Hammer - until Hammer showed up I did not know ANYONE which means either the tickets were sold to others or the season tickets have changed hands. Fine but these newbies did not make hardly any noise. One guy actually told me to stop pounding on the seats because it was annoying his girlfriend. That is the closest I came to telling a fellow Bills fan to F-off ..... I was thinking, "Are you nuts! It's third down for the opponents. Take your girl to the f-ing movies...this is a Bills game!" Well, fine, I found other seats to pound on on the other side (behind my wife!). Meanwhile, to some of the "fans" they spoke like the game was over at halftime when it was 10-3. Try watching the Bills lose 20 in a row to the Fish. They woke up after the Parrish TD (big wow). I beseech all of you to make some noise and lots of it at the JETSsucksuckssucks game in three weeks. I won't be back until the following week (Jacksonville). Go Bills! -RichNJoisy

Turnovers baby!

Professional career Berger was drafted by the Carolina Panthers in the sixth round (207th overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft. However, he was signed to the practice squad and never played in a game for them. He was picked up by the Dolphins before the start of the 2005 NFL season, and played in three games. A sprained right foot suffered in training camp kept him inactive during the 2006 season, and he was eventually waived. Shortly after his release from the Dolphins in 2006, Berger was claimed by the Cowboys. A restricted free agent in the 2008 offseason, Berger signed his one-year tender offer from the Cowboys on April 17. After becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2009, Berger re-signed with the Miami Dolphins on February 27. He became the Dolphins starting center on September 9th, 2010 On Sunday, September 12th, Berger missed a block allowing Bills NT Kyle Williams in untouched to slam Dolphin QB Chad Henne from behind, sight unseen. Henne's funeral is scheduled for Thursday, September 16. in lieu of flowers, the Henne family requests donations be made to the recently formed "save the fish" society of Miami, Florida

Well, at least two of your "brethren" from the Northern NJBBB will be at the Tailgate with us - Greg and Darren. your children (haha!) hmm, does that make them my grandchildren??? nawwww

Hey there bigger-than-Sid guy! NO! no more photo shoots! And, no, no website since with the 10 year playoff drought, CNJBBB membership has dropped. I no longer have a "website manager" so I let it go. Maybe if the Bills start a winning streak, things will pick up enough to warrant a return of the site. We would LOVE to see you at the Jacksonville game! Lot 1, just past the green dumpster, same row as Pinto Kenny. Lisa and I plan to show up this Sunday at around 9 am. I should have hot wings done by 9:45 or 10 am. But that is contingent on my "hardware provider" (Ron Stilwell) who is a member of the CNJBBB who moved to the promised land two years ago. He has his own cooker set and he brings it to games allowing more space for beer in my trunk for the return to 'joisy. ahhhhhh genny cream Go Bills! -RnJ

Tackle Jake Long returns to Miami Dolphins practice on limited basis By The Associated Press (CP) – 3 hours ago DAVIE, Fla. — Miami Dolphins Pro Bowl tackle Jake Long is back at practice on a limited basis. Long, nursing a left knee injury, was involved in some of Wednesday's workout. Linebacker Channing Crowder, who has been sidelined since Aug. 17 because of a groin injury, jogged on the side. The Dolphins open the season Sunday at Buffalo.

now be nice big guy - I updated you on the Big Kid's status......grrrr Sidney!! I am expecting you at Lot 1 for the CNJBBB gathering for the Jacksonville game!! Rev and I head out TOMORROW night for the promised land. Closing on our land Friday noon, Duff's Friday night, and Tom Kelley and I are discussing Chef's for Saturday night. Then the big Fish Squishin' on Sunday a few cars down from Pinto Kenny. Bills 34 - Fish 27. Bills will get 4 sacks and 1 int for a TD (George Wilson). CJ will have a MONSTER premiere. Go Bills!

From: http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/thedailydolphin/2010/09/08/miami-dolphins-notes-jake-long-returns-clifton-smith-signs-bill-parcells-watches-practice/ A few Miami Dolphins notes to jump-start your Wednesday: * Breathe easy, Dolfans — offensive tackle Jake Long (left knee) returned to practice Wednesday after missing sitting out Monday. The media is not allowed to watch the team portions of practice, so it is unknown how fully Long will participate today, but Richie Incognito said on 790-AM radio yesterday that Long will play against Buffalo. * The Dolphins officially signed former Pro Bowl kickoff returner Clifton Smith, which we first told you about yesterday. Smith, 25, chose the Dolphins over the Packers after being cut by the Bucs over the weekend. Smith, entering his third season out of Fresno State, was placed on injured reserve last December after suffering his second concussion of the season. He missed the Bucs’ first two pre-season games last month because of knee pain related to gout. When healthy, Smith has been one of the league’s best kick returners. He was an undrafted free agent in 2008 who didn’t make the Bucs’ final roster, but was placed on the practice squad and eventually earned a promotion. He played in nine games in 2008, and starred at kick returns, taking one 97 yards for a touchdown and earning a berth to the Pro Bowl. Last year his 29.1-yard average was the highest in the NFL among players with 20-plus returns. To make room for Smith, the Dolphins waived offensive lineman Joe Reitz, who was just picked up this weekend. * Bill Parcells, who took a step back from the Dolphins yesterday, hasn’t stepped back too far, yet. He was back in his usual spot at Wednesday’s practice, sitting right next to Jeff Ireland on the sidelines of the Dolphins’ practice bubble. * LB Channing Crowder once again did not participate in practice.

Fantastic!!! I am pumped (news: Jake Long did not practice today either) Go Bills!

George (6’4” 251) was signed after the draft by the Carolina Panthers, but was released by the club in June. A second team All-Mountain West Conference selection as a senior at BYU, George had 70 receptions for 827 yards and 11 touchdowns in 38 career games for the Cougars. Perhaps his biggest play was his 25-yard touchdown reception in overtime to beat 22nd ranked Utah last November. He was the team’s second tight end behind Baltimore Ravens fourth-round pick Dennis Pitta. George’s measurables are considered pretty good for a tight end. At his BYU pro day this past spring he had a 4.79 40-time along with a 35-inch vertical leap and nine-foot five-inch broad jump.

This would be my prediction too. Maybe Gaines too.

I don't usually read , let alone start, a thread on trades but oh well..... I realize the league knows the Bills will be releasing a QB before the start of the season but having your backup QB in place soon rather than later might induce a team to ante up (a bit). I was think of the possibility of a trade with Tampa - Fitzpatrick for TE Jerramy Stevens Tampa needs a backup and the Bills needs a veteran TE. ?????

This would be terrible news if true. I didn't know that this sort of injury was so difficult to treat and cure. Apparently it is OR Jairus' case is particularly unique and difficult.

I guess we are more trusting in Central Jersey. and no I don't wanna buy a watch

what are you saying exactly? OC's post strongly suggests that discussions are taking place NOW...right? Ralph is still alive, isn't he? And does OC's post mean the entire team has to be sold or could the discussion be part ownership leaving Ralph in charge while he is still alive? As to a city sweetheart deal - given the economy isn't such a deal highly unlikely - at least for the foreseeable future?
