  1. I am expecting "big" things from little Roscoe. I really think that he is going to be outstanding returning kicks and as the slot receiver. When he is in the slot with Lee and Price (or whoever), there will be some serious speed on the field. Someone is bound to be open. With any luck, the o-line will give JP time to throw the ball and JP will be able to get the ball to the open receiver.
  2. I do not specifically recall seeing Ted play last year. I thought that Sam was fine -- when they allowed him to play his game. By the way, it looks like fat Pat is now one of the Vikings captains. He was out there for the coin toss at the beginning of their last game.
  3. Peter King and Mort may want to talk to Jerry Jones.
  4. I watched a good portion of the Dolphins game against the Bucs. Those old geezers looked pretty good in that heat in Tampa. I wish we still had some of our old geezers on our team (Pat, Ted, and/or Sam)
  5. Very, very true. The sad thing is that both of the Cowboys top two QBs are better than any QB we have on our roster. Having said that, I really hope that JP can be everything that some people on this board and the Bills former brain trust thought he could be when they handed him the job without having to compete for it.
  6. You seem to be the one that is fixated -- with Willis.
  7. You were one of the guys I was thinking of when I wrote the post.
  8. I have a feeling that whatever Willis does, there will be people on this board who will criticize him for whatever contrived reason they can come up with. The fact of the matter is, there is no running back that is going to be successful in this league if first contact is consistently behind the line of scrimmage. If the o-line can block the way that they did on the long run, we will have more success in our running game. It all starts up front. If they give him half a chance, he is going to be successful.
  9. For what it is worth, I also just saw the crawl on the NFL Network, which said the game would be shown at 1:00 p.m. (although the guide still has the other game).
  10. I think that he had a better idea about what play was being run.
  11. Not only does it appear that they are not going to show the game at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, it also does not appear that they are going to show the game at all (unless I missed it on the schedule).
  12. I just saw the same thing. My DVR was already set to record the game. Now, all of a sudden, the Directv guide has the other game.
  13. He had a pretty good college career as I recall.
  14. I am glad that Ross is getting an opportunity. He seems like a good guy.
  15. 1. All he had to do was call time out. He is the QB not Shaud Williams. He was not paying attention - probably because he has so much else swimming through his head right now. 2. Accuracy is not his strong suit. At least not yet. I really hope that changes.
  16. "Our QB of the future" ten years ago.
  17. I am not pro JP or anti JP. I do really hope that he turns out to be worth the investment that we have in him. It seems to me that the game is just too fast for him at this stage of his career or the corollary of that -- he is thinking too much. An example of this that I noticed watching the replay of the game on the NFL Network was when the Bills almost got a delay of game penalty. He did not even notice. I believe it was Shaud Williams who had to call the time out. Perhaps JP has got so much swimming around in his head at this point in his career that the position is not as instinctive for him at this level. Part of this may be explained by his lack of experience. Perhaps with experience, he will be able to work through this and, as a result, the game and his reads will become more instinctive. The other troubling aspect of his game is his lack of accuracy. When Aiken was wide open for a TD, JP threw the ball out of bounds. When the Bills called the quick pass to the wide out, JP threw it into the turf. It seems as though his accuracy has not improved from last year. I never saw the guy play in college so I have no idea if this is indicative of his college career. I just hope that he can work through this and be the kind of QB many of you are convinced he can be. As of now, I think that the best that we can expect at the QB position is that whoever does start does not lose us any games. I really hope that one of the three QBs will emerge as a real threat and be able to take advantage of the weapons that we have at WR and cause the opposing defenses to not commit eight guys to the box as they did most of the time last year. Otherwise, it is going to be a very long and frustrating season. With any luck, we will see improvement each week during the preseason and in the regular season. I really would like to see the kid end the ten years of frustration that we have had at the QB position.
  18. This string is just sad. Willis is not the problem with this team.
  19. "Moneyball" Sabres style.
  20. I am really excited to see what Roscoe can do on this level. I just hope that one of our QBs can get him and the other receivers the ball. I also suspect that Roscoe is going to do well on returns.
  21. Scotty I had no idea that Scotty has been friends with Marv for 30 years and also knows DJ. It also does not hurt to have the the most successful coach in NHL history talk to the team.
  22. If only JP were as accurate as Rob Johnson.
