Cynical

If you treat that like a 7 minute meal, then you do not deserve that. She is like a scrumptious 5 course meal with a delightful dessert ending. Back to the poll ... I chose Popeye's because the food is actually pretty good for fast food. However, there is only one store near me for miles. And the service is absolutely horrendous.

Mostly Discovery, HBO, and USA Everything else is just here and there. Some of the shows I do make time for: Burn Notice The Deadliest Catch True Blood (when it was on)

The day the Bills trade Edwards for Cutler. Then we will hear all about how Edwards could not win because he was too stupid, etc ...

Interesting. You conveniently left out the facts (sack wise) the NY Jets were 7th in the league, the Raiders were 13th, The Seahawks were 10th, the Lions were tied at 16, and the Cowpukes were #1. How did that work out for all of them? And the Cardinals? 14th. In order for the Bills defense to "win the championship", the Bills have to make the SB first. In order to make the SB, the have win playoff games. In order to win playoff games, they actually have to make the playoffs. In order to make the playoffs, they actually have to produce a winning record. Got it? 1. Winning record 2. Make playoffs 3. Win playoff games 4. Make SB 5. Win SB Unless the pass rushing DE is also a run stuffing DE, then the pass rushing DE is worthless. Opposing teams will not have to worry about the pass rushing DE when they can just line up and shove the ball down the Bills throat. I'll worry about a situational (and potentially one dimensional) player like a pass rushing DE as soon as the Bills can do numbers #1 and #2. But they will never be able to accomplish number 1 and 2 because the FO is too busy fugging up the offensive line.

Born and raised in the WNY area until the economic reality forced me out. But thanks for playing. And instead of supporting your position, you made a pathetic attempt to insult me. The Bills defense was 14th in the league last year, both in points and yardage. It ranked 13th in passing and 22th in rushing. The Bills offense was 23rd in points, 25th in yardage, 22nd in passing, and 14th in rushing. The Bills cut loose their starting center and starting LG. They replaced the center (we hope), but still have not addressed the LG position. Throw in the potential of losing their starting LT on top of that, and the FO once again looks like they are half assing it in addressing the offensive problems. So, please explain how does a pass rushing DE solve those problems?

Yeah, because a pass rushing DE will fix the anemic offense. Then throw in a FO seemingly hell bent on creating more problems with the offense, than they are fixing it. Can't wait for the season.

For those that follow PAC-10 ball: Oregon Ducks HC Mike Bellotti will take over the AD spot. OC Chip Kelly will be the new HC. Linky

Maybe, maybe not. Spurrier may only get scraps to play against when USC(East) plays Tenn. Kiffin and Tenn will have to play GA, Florida, and Bama before hand. IIRC, all three schools (coaches and recruits included) have a bone to pick with Mr. Kiffin.

I once watched Bills QB throw 3 picks in the first half against Cincinnati, and he just laughed about it. Based on your on criteria, that QB would not be a leader, correct?

... just shut up. Linky Let's see. Kiffin has: Insulted SEC coaches - check insulted SEC recruits - check insulted SEC schools - check What's next? The conference?

Why? You never summered? Heavens ...

Interesting. I remember a player named Bruce Smith that did some "showboating" every time he got a sack when the Bills were on a national game. I do not remember him being "booed" off the stage. Then again, maybe the San Fran writers just think we were booing him when in fact we were saying "Brrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuccccccccceeeee". Silly San Fran fans. D**ks are for chicks.

So what you are saying is: overall, he's a lousy coach.

Apparently McCargo and Dockery didn't earn enough Gold stars during the year. You forgot one: an underachieving high motor LDE with a fat contract is retained ...

Interesting. But I sure wish I knew how DJ holds his players "accountable": "Yes, he’s a coach you want to play for and want to win for, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t hold you accountable — because he does." What does that mean? The player does not get a gold star next to his name for the week? The player gets sent to bed without dessert?

I also like this quote: ""From our standpoint,'' Brandon said, "everything we do is a risk. I was criticized for the Marcus Stroud trade last year, ... " Did I miss something last year? Who criticized Russ for that move? Something about this article is not passing the smell test. I wonder if the Bills organization is not using Peter King to spin the actual events in order to "enhance" certain players appearance. Brandon is a marketing man after all.

The same Trent Edwards that is 25th in the NFL in attempts? Just checking ...

I would not bet on that. Players like Stroud and Mitchell have come from franchises that were winning. Both have a better concept of what it takes to win in NFL than, say, players like Edwards and Whitner. Edwards and Whitner would remain loyal to DJ only because they have no idea what "better" is. (or as Trent once said. "Dick Jauron is the best Head Coach he is ever had in the NFL.") How many stupid "roll out dump off to the FB" plays will it take before TO is in Stroud's and Mitchell's ears, telling them what a dumbass DJ is?

Looks like you "forgot" to mention they cut loose one of those "top free agents" this past off season, so we are still trying to "fix it". Nor do you mention they were "fixing" their "fix" from the previous off season. And while our biggest need got "fixed", our record still did not improve. Other than Mitchell, name the remaining "key" free agents. I have never doubted his desire to win (because he really does want to win), he just isn't the best decision maker.

There is a downside to every move, and that's the downside to this one. However, if TO helps the Bills get into the playoffs, so be it. I seriously doubt we will see Owens in a Bills uni next year, regardless of the outcome this year. Assuming the Bills make the playoffs, I think I can stomach DJ for another 1-2 years before they cut his ass loose. And if the Bills implode this year like they did last year? At least it will interesting to hear/read what Owens has to say. And that will be immensely better than the prototypical BS Jauron soul sucking "It's hard to win in the NFL" press conferences.

Screw him. Trent is one the guys that needs to stop being coddled by this coaching staff. As bad as JP was (and he was bad), at least he had the cojones to call out the coaching staff. Hopefully, Owens will now do it.

I read the article. The way I perceived it, there is no rumor. Stroud said it. Exactly.

Agreed. Signing TO was a pure desperation move by the FO. However, the attitude he brings into the LR is sorely needed. Owens WILL hold other players (and hopefully, coaches) accountable. There should no more of this crap of "Well, we just didn't execute the way we wanted to" or "Its hard to win in the NFL", etc .... In the end, I love this signing, especially a one year deal.

Apparently you missed the Edwards interview were he said unless you played the position, you had no right to be critical of him (to paraphrase).

And it was the "differences" that caused the outcry. The Bills were not the only team complaining about the Bengals tactics. Part of the Bengals tactics of their "no huddle" was nothing more than a deliberate attempt to generate a cheap "too many players on the field" penalty against the defense.
