  1. I have the venom. I want to beat Brady just because he's Brady. Beating the Patriots with anyone else will be less satisfying. There is NO better sight than Pouty Tom when he's taking an ass whipping.

     

    I'd rather win 2-0 while stomping Brady's guts out than win 45-42 with Brady throwing for 500 yards of smugness and 6 TDs.


    I will say this, Brady's arm-wave-at-the-ref move isn't going to work like before.

    It will be interesting to see if there is a measurable difference or if will be in perception only. I've said many times that it's not about how MANY penalties you take, it's about WHEN they are called and for WHICH violations. The Pats get a similar number of penalties as other teams, they just don't seem to get the killer sketchy penalty that hurts them very often. It happens sometimes but not often.

  2. I could only see it if there is an injury. But, the NFLPA is whining that Rice has been unfairly blackballed. I don't know if it's unfair, but I agree he's being blackballed. He's past his prime though.

    We have a 34 year old running back. 34. That's 2 years older than any other RB in the league.

    idk. he didn't look all that good his last season

    true.

     

    I'm not advocating for him to be signed but remember that he'd be coming in as a role player, not a featured back. LaDainian Tomlinson was pretty well done when he got to the Jets too but he was able to help them.

  3. How does he avoid a suspension? This might be felony battery if Smith pressed charges.

    He's not permanently disfigured or disabled in some way.

     

    Possibly aggravated assault, but it wasn't pre-meditated, he didn't use a weapon, and it's debatable as to whether or not the injury is "serious" as defined by the law. it's not life threatening in any way nor is it permanent/disabling. It did require surgery which makes it more serious than a shiner but it's not in the realm of major damage that required a lengthy hospitalization.

     

    If he's charged with aggravated assault it will probably get pled down to simple. There's also the question as to whether or not this was a fight that both people entered into willingly. If Geno came up on IK and initiated physical contact with him in really any way before the punch was thrown it would become petty disorderly conduct for both of them. Since that's what probably happened, and since charges haven't been filed yet, I'm going to guess that Geno is being advised to let it drop to avoid a disorderly conduct charge coming against himself.

  4. This is a bad pickup. Even if he makes the roster, he is virtually guaranteed to be suspended. If it was a real position of need, it might be worth a shot, but this is really not a move that clearly benefits the team in any way. It probably will not have a huge downside, but more likely just fizzle and be a distraction. I have a bad feeling about Rex's coaching abilities and judgement.

    And that would come down before the season starts so he goes on the suspended/exempt list and doesn't take a roster spot until he comes back from the suspension which I highly doubt he gets. Just like Marcell Dareus...and Tom Brady...

  5. I laugh at this sentiment. .... i just laugh. We all want winners right? Robert Woods just got into it with Gilmore. Let's cut them. Newton with that CB. Toast. ... did anyone watch hard knocks last night? Deandre and the whole redskins team jawing? Then the big brawl.it's football, the most violent game outside of MMA. why not want the guys who will rip someone's head off and **** down their necks. Anyone who doesn't want to see that, how much do you want for your season tickets?

    So, to be clear, if IK makes the play to win the Super Bowl Poloncarz won't give him a hug on the dais. Got it. I'm sure the career shill will pass on the photo op.

     

    And FWIW, the "as a season ticket holder" line pisses me off. I was a season ticket holder as a teenager. I don't recall the Bills asking me what my opinion was on keeping Scott Norwood or signing Reggie Rogers or anything else for that matter.

  6. What???? Marshall had/has an illness that he is now taking medication to address...WTF are you talking about?

    Oh that makes his actions OK then, I'm sure he's a good dude.

     

    Based on IK's actions alone he qualifies for an Intermittent Explosive Disorder diagnosis. If he goes and gets one and does some therapy is all good and forgiven?

     

    Here's an abbreviated list of Marshall's issues

  7. I think this is the astute post of the thread. I don't know Geno, and I could be totally wrong about him, but most everything screamed jerk to me, and I said it several times here and to the guys I watch the games with. He came across entitled, and arrogant, and just a guy who takes no responsibility. I really didn't like him and I think the fact that none of his teammates stuck up for him before, during or after this fiasco speaks volumes. Obviously IK was more at fault. You don't just cold rooster someone even if they deserve it. But Geno just seems like a jerk and not a leader of men. Rex says he knows the kind of guy IK is, and I'm sure he knows the kind of guy Geno is even more, and I imagine that was a factor in today's decision.

     

    The league is going to come down pretty hard on him I imagine. So I doubt he plays the first six games or so, if he even makes the team. They will probably keep him, and let him take his suspension and then a month or two into the season, depending on injury, bring IK in and work him in slowly.

    I'll bet the league is less severe than you think. Lots of fights happen in camps and locker rooms. There are things that happen in camp and scrimmages that, if they happened in a game would be a huge issue. Since they happen at camp nothing happens. Does the league really want to start issuing suspensions and discipline for things like that? Very slippery slope. There were multiple fights followed by a full on fist swinging intent to maim brawl at the Texans/Redskins scrimmage last week. Suspensions? Kinda doubt it.

  8. If the Patriots did this Bills' fan would be crucifying them for it. Instead, all I see are rationalizations. If the guy loses control in the locker room, he is likely to lose control on the field at the worst possible time. I disliked Rex Ryan as the Jets coach and at this point I'm rooting for the Bills despite Ryan.

    So a man who owes you money, and has owed you money for some time, walks across a room in front of 88 of your testosterone filled teammates and starts putting his finger in your face and saying Lord knows what. The genteel response doesn't exactly work in that situation. Geno asked to get slugged in the mouth and he got it. When you call out the manhood of another man, in front of a lot of other men who make their living by physically imposing their will on other large testosterone filled men be prepared to defend yourself. We like to pretend we're civilized. We're not. The only reason the guy got cut was because Geno got hurt and the Jets FO couldn't let that go unanswered. If Geno gets a shiner IK is still a Jet, and a well respected Jet in the locker room, while Geno is the one in the principal's office. Deep down Bowles is pissed he had to cut this guy, I guarantee it.

  9. So many bad ones to choose from really. Perry Tuttle, Booker Moore, Tony Hunter, JD Williams, Mike Williams, JP Losman, the pick they traded to Jax for Rob Johnson that became Fred Taylor and could have become any number for players for the Bills including Randy Moss... Randy Moss with Flutie in 2000, with that defense....arrrgh

  10. @RapSheet: Word is Geno Smith put his finger in the face of IK Enemkpalis during and argument that wasnt getting difused. Then came the punch

    Point of order, getting punched in that scenario is not a sucker punch. A sucker punch is tapping a guy on the shoulder and dropping him when he turns around, not when the guy is already in your face. That's just a knockout.

  11. That said we could have had Andy Dalton and/or Colin Kaepernick over Aaron Williams. Both have shown they can be average NFL QBs and seems all we need with this defense. Of course the question would be would this defense be as good as it is now without Aaron Williams? Nope but think a Dalton/Kaepernick bring more to the offense then the lost of Williams would contribute to the defense. That said if we had a Dalton or Kaepernick we might not have had the ap space to bring back Hughes and/or add a Harvin/McCoy because of the cap space. Honestly the way the Bills have parlayed this no franchise QB roster is quite good. Qill it ever be good enough to win a Super Bowl? Who knows but here's to hoping EJ/Cassel or Tyrod can prove to be another Brad Johnson or Trent Dilfer.

    Not for nothing, but if the Bengals don't do something serious this year you might have a shot at getting Dalton next year.

  12. Underthrown long passes tend to lead to pass interference, particularly if the CB was beaten and is trying desperately to get into the play. Overthrown balls land out of bounds and/or nothing happens.

     

    Agree. Hate watching receivers slow down to find balls. These receivers are fast and EJ knows that. I'd guess coach said he doesn't want to see underthrown balls and EJ took it seriously lol
