Uncle Monkeyhead

He needs to sign with Denver so he can be referred to as Bronco Legursky

Fred Jackson should be kept as long as financially possible. Imagine if they kept him fresh, and IF the offense is succesful playing fast and keeping defenses huffing and puffing, and if they have the lead in games, he would be a perfect back to pound tired defenders in the 4th quarter....without sacrificing too much speed

Iguanas don't camouflage themselves by changing their colors...chameleons do.

That is a talented dude, who put that together. Thanks for posting. Also, that interviewer hit the lottery of all interviewees ....pay dirt

I called my Internet provider, Century Link...I called them to see about bundling with Verizon. The customer service rep spoke like this: "cenchewy wink does offer 5 dowwers off your mumfwee bill when you bundle with your vah-wizen." This is a customer service wep. So, he was a hewwuvuh salesman...I took the 5 bucks and he still has his job. I think kiko will be just fine diwecting the west of the defensive pwayers on the field

This guy from the bleacher report called it back in September...EJ first qb to be selected. To me, the mocks and projections during the actual season strike gold more than the over-thought, media-poisoned ones in March and April. Link not accepted, so I am pasting the content here: Just shy of a month into the college football season, and less than a quarter of the way into the NFL grind, and it it is already time to start talking about the 2013 draft. The NFL Draft has become the highlight of at least half of the league's fan bases (those who miss the playoffs) due to constant coverage on it from the NFL Network, ESPN and a myriad of other media outlets. College fans also follow the draft with religious devotion, anxiously anticipating where the players they have watched grow up through their favorite program may or may not be drafted. This year will be no different. As we have seen in recent years, the quarterback is the ultimate prize for teams in April. Since Peyton Manning was drafted No. 1 overall in 1998, only three non-quarterbacks have been the first name off of the board. This year, like in years past, many teams have issues with the most important position on the field. These teams will do whatever they can to get who they think is the best available signal caller. That man may just be the leader of the Florida State Seminoles, E.J. Manuel. It may seem crazy that player who has peen plagued by both injuries and inconsistency would even be considered for such a franchise-altering selection. However, when you look a little closer, this prediction becomes glaringly obvious. During the Seminoles 49-37 victory, Manuel showed off his talent through the air and on the ground, racking up 380 yards passing and another 100-plus on the ground. If the last two drafts have proven anything, it is that the dual-threat college quarterback is becoming more of a presence in the NFL. The Washington Redskins gave up a cornucopia of draft picks last year to move up two selections to ensure the chance to get Baylor's Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III at No. 2 overall. The prior year the Carolina Panthers got a Heisman winner of their own as they selected Auburn quarterback Cam Newton. Like those two men, Manuel came into his final college season as a dark horse for both the Heisman and the chance to be a high draft pick. Both men began to progress and take advantage of the big stage as the season progressed. Manuel has done just that so far and has shown the same kind of skills that the Panthers and Redskins coveted. Should Manuel continue to impress and win a Heisman, the 6'5", 240-pound fifth-year senior will undoubtedly skyrocket up draft boards. While Manuel looks to move up, his competition seems to be moving down. Matt Barkley looked pedestrian at best in USC's loss to Stanford, losing to the same defense that Washington's Keith Price was able to beat. The pressure Barkley put on himself coming into this year seems to be taking him over. For a guy who throws to maybe the two best receivers in America in Marquise Lee and Robert Woods, he should be doing more. Tyler Wilson has been hurt and has shown that he lacks maturity and leadership, calling out his team in the media for getting smacked around by Alabama while he watched from the sidelines. He returned the following week and threw two interceptions in Arkansas' lose to Rutgers. Tyler Bray of Tennessee is still only a Junior and looked average against Florida. There are several question marks surrounding his legitimacy as a prospect, including his footwork, which seems very slow. Working almost exclusively out of the shotgun, Bray may have trouble adjusting to NFL offenses. Geno Smith, like Bray, works primarily out of the shotgun in West Virginia's high-powered offense. Although he puts up video game numbers week after week, Smith lacks the accuracy needed for the pro game and forces throws at times, bringing his decision making into question. Should he continue to progress, all signs point to Manuel taking over as the consensus No. 1 quarterback prospect. Other than some quarterback-needy teams getting off to hot starts, the only thing which may prevent Manuel from being taken No. 1 overall may be himself.

Interesting piece....funny how these guys changed their minds a little the closer they got to, during, and after the draft. The praise was there earlier for EJM. Sundquist says he feels like he's been watching a different tape than everyone else....I'm willing to bet the others are pretty much basing their opinions off the mainstream at any given point in time. http://youtu.be/32uWlrEOzYs

Just tostir the pot a little.....Tuesday trade deadline.....Wayne misses pratcice for non-injury reasons (personal)....

The media attention will reach a new level if we beat the Bengals Sunday. Because I truly believe the Bills will...and I believe even more, that the Pats* and Jets will lose this week as well. We should be up 2 games on both of them by Sunday evening. This is a huge opportunity for the Bills.

I'm curious if your reasoning is because of his age. If it is, I humbly disagree. Age does not play a factor in his case because he has not taken a pounding like most 30 yr old backs. He's still not taking a huge pounding; yes he runs aggressively, but his production is not from the amt of attempts; it's coming in chunks. what's his YPC avg this year? 6.2 or something like that?

Agreed! I am not basing their worth because of these 3 games, but including them with last years production....and in Freddy's case, the last 3 years.....remember when he lead the team in rushing and return yards? Also, Wiz.....love that avatar.....You should get some shirts made with that graphic. I'd buy one!

Media Attention: I liked it for about two days, now I'm almost sickened by it. First off, I really hate that the national mainstream media says things like "Nobody was giving Buffalo a chance" and had them ranked dead last in the division before the season started. The "nobody" was them. Why don't they say "we" as in the so-called experts? Now I'm seeing things like "Ryan Fitzpatrick is a big reason they are 3-0". Well, duh....but 3 weeks ago they were still calling him a journeyman and "not a franchise QB". Now it's "Buffalo better rework that deal and tie him up". It's been 3 games....they crack me up. We, as in Bills fans, knew there was something special about Fitz last year.....well, a great majority of us. I don't know any Bills fan personally that wanted to draft a QB in April. There were some here on TSW, but not a majority. Fitz was one of the first QB's to hold off-season workouts with his recievers and Freddy, yet there was not a mention of it from the mainstream media. The recognition went to other QB's in bigger markets (can't remember who exactly any more). Then I just read the "5 Questions with Fred Jackson". I'm glad to be able to read it, don't get me wrong, and Fred definitely deserves it, but he deserved it last year, and the year before. We all knew what he meant to this team. The odds that this guy faced is similar to that of Kurt Warner before his star shined like a beacon for the media to flock to. Ah Freddy....I'm glad to say I held you as the heart and soul of this offense for the last 3 years. Which leads me to the next topic..... Marv Levy: I read a lot of negative stuff on this board about Marv's GM moves that set this team back. Well, I for one never trashed Marv. I think it was great to have him in the FO.....mainly because he brought us F-Jack. Marv saw something and kept his word to this guy and look at what it has done for this team. One of Marv's best qualities paid off huge for the Bills. I mean, he kept in contact with Fred monthly while he was on the outside looking in at the NFL. Kudos to Marv. I am just wondering if anyone still feels his GM days hurt this franchise. Any thoughts/feedback? Go Bills!

Bro, you made coffee spray out of my nose....hope my laptop survives.....

My favorite part of this TMQ article: "All-Unwanted Update: Last week TMQ, who touts "all-unwanted" players who went undrafted or have been waived, noted the profusion of castoff players on the Buffalo offense, currently the NFL's highest-scoring. In this week's Bills game, big defensive plays were made by George Wilson -- undrafted, he worked in the offseason as an actor in music videos -- and Drayton Florence, who was told to hit the road in Jacksonville. As Florence was running for a pick-six, Tom Brady had the last shot at him and obviously pulled up, perhaps afraid to muss his hair."

Sorry, but what an a-hole reply. The guy gave a heads up. I for one and i'm sure most on the board, appreciate WWV's post. As for the interview, the joke Fitz made about the beard and Tony's head was great! Got a genuine laugh out of it. They also asked him a great question I thought.....about being taken seriously because he is a Harvard grad. I mean, think about it....we have this great gutsy QB who could probably be living a very good life financially, but stuck around as a backup and potential journeyman with the possibility of getting seriously hurt.....stuck around because he knew he was better than anyone else thought. Fitz is a great story

Dave thanks for posting this....it was the video I was most looking forward to after the game. I LOVE IT AND CAN WATCH IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN......Mr Genius, all red faced, looking like a smacked ass. "I went sown to call a time out....what don't you understand about that?" So nice that we are on this side of it for a change.

people need to stop taking what other people say so seriously. Jesus F***ing Christ.

Chlorine douche. It what the professionals use.

....he was around the last time the Bills made it to the playoffs

The league and the players are not going to miss out on their millions. Don't worry, there will be football this season. No way they miss out on a whole (or most of a) season. That being said, the Bills are what they are. The odds are they would be picking in the top 5 next year either way.

Both sides are in a win-win situation. And it actually gets better for them in the long run the more they prolong this. The players know that the owners will always make their money. The owners know the players will always make theirs. Another thing on their side? Time. It's the offseason. More fans are logging on to team sites and NFL related sites more during this offseason than last, i can guarantee you that. More exposure to the fans = more $. Players still have their contracts and endorsement deals. Owners will continue to make the same amout they made last year in March. So in the meantime, it doesn't hurt that the fan has the illusion that football is in jeopardy. The draft goes on, the following is still there....the players are still getting their share too. For those old enough to remember the strike year......remember the gloom and doom then? Look back on it and tell me that either side was hurt by it.....on the contrary, both league and player made out better after. They are not afraid of losing "some fans". There is always and will always be more......and when this "mess" gets worked out between them, guess what? Both sides will still be smiling to the bank......but you, Joe Loyal Fan? You'll be paying more for cable, DTV, jerseys, tix, etc. There will be football this September. You (or actually They) can take that to the bank.
