The way to neutralize Marcus Vick is to have the cornerbacks carry a small bag of coke. When the ball comes his way, toss the coke on the gound and make the pick. RTB

I love how they showed the clip of Favre saying how this GB team has the most talent he's every played with. He then proceeded to go out, fumble his first series, throw a pick on the second, and basically just suck. This is going to be a long year for Favre. RTB

How many more years in the NFL does Davie need before he's given a "fair shot" ?? He's had plenty of time, he just doesn't get it. He's another good athlete who doesn't have the head for the game. See : Rob Johnson, Anthony Wright, Ryan Leaf, Andre Ware, etc etc. The NFL is riddled with great athletes with no brain. Unfortunately for them, the QB position requires some ability to think and make decisions quickly. RTB

Andre Reed - Did not get bashed when he retired. If anything, his accomplishments were recognized more with time. Thurman - Went to the Fish and sucked (hurt). This was nearly unforgiveable. Flutie - Cancer. Goodbye, thanks for filling the seats. Travis - Got a 3rd rounder for a guy who sleeps with minors and immediately got in trouble with the leagues substance abuse policy Brown - I don't remember him getting bashed much when he left. Jennings - Overrated and overpaid, overhurt. He was in the right place at the right time for a FA LT Moulds - Would love to have had him retire as a Bill but he didn't want to be here. Too early to see if he'll be any good in Houston. EM is the only player there that I would still have wanted on the team longer than he was. RTB

I think you meant to say we knew he had a strong arm, but you're happy to see some improved accuracy. His accuracy has been an issue since he got here, his arm strength was never in question. RTB

Ya, except for Lawyer Milloy's first game, we've done real against NE with their castoffs. They take our castoffs and win superbowls. I hate NE. RTB

Are you picking your plays from the Mularkey or Madden play book? There's nothing wrong with a run on 4th and 3. In fact in the preseason, I think its a good call because it tells your o-line that you've got confidence in them and if they fail, no biggie, its the preseason.

Wow, the over-reaction and over-coverage of Peerless missing a friggin practice is JonBenet-esque. EVERYBODY PANIC!!

Is there another section of the board I'm missing? I haven't heard that much complaining about Price or Villarial. I've heard that Price looks good in camp but hasn't had a catch in the (deep breath) preseason. A bunch of people jumped to conclusions because he missed one practice but I haven't seen any evidence of an attitude problem that some want him to have. Holcomb has been a punching bag since he got the nod as a starter, and it will be hard to scapegoat him when he's holding a clip board.

If JP is too excited at the beginning of games, I don't see how running a no-huddle offense would be of benefit. What he needs is experience. As he gets more comfortable, he'll get less excited.

If I guy is cut, and two teams (including the one who cut him) want to sign him to their practice squads, is it up to the player to decide which team he wants to go? Is it essentially a free agent contract? RTB

2 special teams penalties already.

Well, that's the way to answer. When's the last time we had a 61 yard TD run? Sounds like he's got some speed back.

I have to remind myself that its the preseason, otherwise my head might asplode. RTB

Assuming you're not having difficult falling asleep or staying asleep, I'd have to agree with previous posters who said you need to rule out obstructive sleep apnea. Although fat people are more likely to suffer from this, thin people can also. One easy question - do you snore? If you sleep with someone, that person can tell you if you snore a lot, and if there are periods where you stop breathing for 20-30 seconds (apnea). If you don't snore, it's very unlikely you have sleep apnea. Patients with sleep apnea don't realize that they aren't getting quality sleep. They really don't stop breathing, they attempt to breath against an upper airway obstruction and when their oxygen level starts to drop, the body comes to a more awake state in order to relieve that obstruction. So, they never get into a deep sleep and feel chronically sleep deprived even though they think they've slept all night. That's just one of many causes of fatigue, but its a start. RTB FYI: The machine Fez was talking about is a CPAP machine. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure. It's a mask that is strapped to the mouth/nose during sleep that supplies pressure and oxygen to the airway. The positive pressure keeps the tissues from collapsing and relieves the obstruction that happens when the muscles and tissue relax during sleep.

Can anyone seriously say with a straight face that someone would "make a great #3 QB". What are the requirements for this position? At least one good arm to hold the clip board? Please. RTB

It really sucks that Field Pass is over a minute and a half delayed from what you guys are talking about.

Holy crap could this get any more ridiculous. At least it tempers any possible expectations in the early preseason. At least we'll have some things to work on in practice.

JP up next?

The Barnes firm injury update,and we'll be chasing any and all ambulances that leave this stadium.

Hahaha. It took less than a quarter for the Carolina announcers to discover what we've known for the past year. When you have a noodle for an arm, it doesn't just effect the deep throws. RTB

All JP has to do is complete a pass to look better than Kelly. Seriously though, I like the fact that Jauron started Holcomb in this game against a solid D. Let JP get some reps against the #2 and then start against Cinci's #1 D. RTB

JP will be the starter. It's been beaten to death that Holcomb can only get us so far and we need to find out about JP. I think starting Holcomb on the road against one of last year's best defenses is an excellent move by Jauron. JP gets some practice against the first team D, most practice against the second team D, then he gets to start at home against the Bengals D. Sounds like a pretty savy move to me in order to set JP up to succeed, unlike the previous regime which seemed to set him up to fail. RTB

I always find it interesting when these columnists for national magazine come to camp for a day and then have to write an article about it. For people who follow their team, it becomes immediately obvious that these guys don't know jack **** about the team they're visiting. Case in point, besides all the obvious declarations in Banks' article, doesn't he also refer to Josh Reed as the definitive #2 receiver on this team? Anyone with a passing knowledge of the Bills will know what Josh has gone through over the past few years and understand that calling him the #2 at this point is just ridiculous. I'm surprised Don didn't refer to Coy Wire as the #1 safety on the team. RTB

WTF??? It's the second week of TRAINING CAMP and you're worried about dropped passes? What if it was John Stonehands from East Bumphuk State dropping balls? Whitner unproven??? It's his FIRST FARKING PRACTICE! Holy crap, you're ridiculous. RTB
