  1. True, but watching that game I saw Tebow complete 4 passes. 1 was for 0 yards, 1 was a screen pass at an opportune time, one was an amazing grab in spite of Tebows throw and the last was actually a good pass. Most of his throws were wobbly and off target. I think he is a gamer and could be much better, but that comeback was not because of great quarterback throwing by any means.

     

    ...That catch by Lloyd on the sidelines was perfectly placed- where only he could get it.

  2. I could see the comparison. Their game is about finding holes and taking advantage of openings, not raw speed or power. Physically they are a little different. Thomas had that little bowling ball thing going for him, low center of gravity and opposing defenders could never seem to get a hand on him. Jackson runs tall, and slides through gaps.

     

    Yes, Jackson is taller. Yet, unlike most taller running backs, he runs small.

  3. its because Time Warner is absolutely terrible at their business and they are only successful b/c they are the only option (aside from dish)

     

    I HATE TIME WARNER

     

    Heh- there are 2 other companies- Cox and Comcast. But, despite not having NFLN, TimeWarner is head and shoulders above the other two.

  4. I hope we kill them.

     

    "The Bills are a media myth right now. Were the Bills and Lions to play the score would be 44-10. The Lions have a real defense the Lions have a real QB, The Lions have a great receiver and all the Bills have is a good coach. " the Bills play with intensity " think how silly that sounds, if I dressed you up in football gear and threw you out the tunnel in Orchturd park with those rabid starved fans you'd be intense too."

     

    Is that what the message boards said?

  5. LOL dude you calm down. My response was purely a joke I'm glad I got a rise out of you though.

     

    You couldn't have really thought I believed this was a "hot beach babe" right?

     

    But I would much rather look at a hot face, with a fatty, rather than a top heavy chick with some extra meat on her. Girls are meant to be fit :-)

     

    Also in all seriousness, it was a hand created silhouette, freelancing assignment done by one of our designers.

     

    My girlfriend looked over my shoulder and asked if that was the Karate Kid :w00t:

  6. That's incredible.

     

    1 - These fans are probably more negative about their team than we have been in the past.

     

    2 - How many times have we enjoyed other teams' fans (just like the Eagles' fans) throwing their hands up and assuming they just can't stop the Bills offense without a ton of pressure? I think it's so cool.

  7. I agree. I love Roscoe and how it seemed he was starting to be used and get a hold of Gailey's scheme but if you aren't healthy you aren't useful. He is just too small for the NFL to be able to play a meaningful number of downs. I HATE the fact that Easily gets hurt and just the right time and will basically be a 3rd year rookie who has never had a full off season or played any significant time in the regular season if he has played any at all.

     

    LLoyd could be a great fit....for a time.

     

    Roscoe's health is repeatedly linked to his size as compared to others in the NFL. It's funny, however, to note that all of his injuries tend to be self-inflicted. He fell on his wrist and broke it. He stepped wrong on his ankle and sprained it. The guy isn't too small- more like he's 90 years old and can't handle a slip on the ice.

  8. The rumor is they want a 2nd, and wouldn't move him for less than a 3rd.

     

    Nope, not even close to worth the long-term damage it could cause our rebuilding team. Lloyd retires and then we are a draft pick short, and a receiver short, when we could have been playing someone else. It's stupid anyway- it's not like our #2 is gone forever, he's just injured.

  9. Ha, on the second Eagles drive in the 4th qtr when Desean Jackson catches the cross and runs like 30 yards, and at the end, the commentators like, "I think there was a bit of a hold there..." then gets cut off by the other announcer. Then the next play where Vick scrambles to the left side, Carrington is clearly held and the commentator says, "Looks like he got away with a little hold there..." as he continues to analyze the play. Hahahahaha it was all over the place.

  10. lol yea i see what you're getting at. obviously the bills D has some playmakers and has proven it is very opportunistic. however, in the past 2 games, we've had a pick-6 and a game-clinching INT go off the receivers feet into our hands. there's some serious good karma flowing our way.

     

    The Steelers won a close game that they "should" have lost last season because the other team's receiver dropped a pass that landed right in his bread basket (good karma). That team played in last year's Super Bowl. For the last time- good teams win. I am serious in saying that the concept really is difficult to understand, especially when you've been on the wrong side of "karma" and truly believed we were snake-bitten and not just bad. We have to get over it though. The team is 4-1, and that's what matters.

  11. It's still a matter of tightening a few things up. Defense gives up a few less yards, the offense gets into a better rhythm (hard with your whole WR corps injured), and things are just fine. We play some really really good offenses, and all we really need to do is a better job of keeping up on offense rather than expect the D to do it for us. It CONTINUES to be majorly an issue of playing 1 half per game.

  12. Not to ruin the thread that I started or anything :rolleyes: but to be honest the problem is not so much the defense giving up huge yardage (though it would be nice to keep the score a bit lower) but also the offense missing on opportunities. I suppose you can't ask much more from an offense than 30 ppg, but when they have 5 turnovers to work with, you should see a lot more. That wouldn't make the defense look better, but it would put us out of reach.

  13. It's a new league strategically. People are still judging teams by old maxims. The way teams are scoring now strategy has to change. Big leads are no longer safe. Killing the clock for a half with a 21 point lead can backfire these days. Things have changed, and some of the age-old maxims will need to be altered.

     

    The Bills defense is opportunistic, I am not worried about the yards they give up. Today I was actually more worried about the way the offense played. I think they were trying to keep pressure off of Hairston a bit. They were pretty predictable.

     

    They are not winning by being "lucky", they are the real deal, and they are gonna win 10 games this year (they still might not make the playoffs though).

     

    This may be true.
