need help?
More than you know.

Stevie went down w/ what looks like L hamstring injury; had to be helped off field.

Effortless spirals and deep ball capabilities do not equal good quarterbacking.

If you watched the final press conference for the Sabres this year, you'll know that our local media personalities are local for a reason. At one point Black said, "which question do you want me to start answering before you interrupt me."

Hackett chestbump? per Bills Twitter. I'm really appreciating the energy

We work with the supplier who is making these. Here is the Bills:

what i took from this article...edelman's on the PUP list?!

training camp needs to start sooner or this board is going to eat itself alive.

My guess is that it's a stock photograph and he didn't take the picture FOR the Facebook post. In that instance, the onus is on the Bills social media team to sniff that out.

The No-punt game...
The 51-3 shellacking of the Raiders
The 95 playoff win over the Dolphins - which sent Shula into retirement.
The 31-0 spanking of Tom Brady and the Patriots in the Season opener.
And of course the greatest comeback game of all-time.
Had to look up that 95 game. Wow, can't believe I forgot it!

That's like saying "Peyton Manning's superbowl win stats are padded because he beat Rex Grossman."
Guess what elite players are supposed to do... Play well against inferior opponents. Jairus does that. Maybe next time he can just swat those balls down instead so you can get a "more realistic" number...
No it wouldn't. Unless Grossman jumped on D. It would be Manning padding his stats if he was playing against a weak defense. Which he wasn't.

In this case, my "eyes" are telling me that you went to a lot of trouble to seek out information that supports a pre-conceived narrative. Not only that, but it could certainly be the case that, although they throw their fair share of INTs, top-tier QBs avoid throwing toward top-tier defenders.
Right, well I guess it's hard to refute an eye-ball test. But you say, "Top-tier QBs avoid throwing toward top-tier defenders," so is there a whole subset of middle- to lower-tier defenders that are scooping up these 114 INTs? And, if so, are INTs an arbitrary stat to use in measuring an effective secondary player?
-
Well, you shouldn't want to get into it. I don't want to either, but I'm sure I can find stats that more than refute your "analysis." Is there some DB that thrives on intercepting top-tier QBs?
Okay. So what's the measuring stick? And I don't know if there is some DB that thrives on INTs of top-tier QBs. I'm just stating that Byrd excels at soley INTing the bottom 10. Which you can say means nothing but, to me, pads his stats a bit as John Beck and Sanchez throw you pop-fly gifts.
-
Wow that was a lot of work to prove... what, exactly?
Guess what? Elite QBs don't throw a lot of interceptions in the first place, so of course you'd expect Byrd (and anyone else) to have little to no interceptions thrown by top tier QBs.
Not that I want to get into this, but the top 10 QBs from last year threw a combined 114 INTs. http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/passing/sort/quarterbackRating
There are plenty to go around. And when you face Brady 8 times, I think he's had his fair shots.
And can I just take a step back. I'm not putting Byrd on trial or making ANY conclusions. I just found this interesting.

I didn't use "ya know or like" once

Byrds INT stats tell an interesting story. Especially how different his '09 season was vs '10-'12.
My argument is that '09 is an anomaly and his 3-5 INTs per season are a truer gauge. Also interesting, Byrd doesn't have interceptions vs "elite" QBs or even "Top 10" qbs (unless you're considering M. Schaub) Here are all of the QBs Byrd has intercepted in his career, sometimes multiple times. It's a who's-who of back-ups.
Delhomme
D.Anderson
Sanchez
V. Young
Cassel
Tannehill
Tebow
Beck
Skelton
Kolb
Henne
Schaub
Some more random INT stats. Note the difference between '09 vs '10/'11/'12
2009:
Interceptions (he had 9)
8 of his INTs were in a 5 game span; 6 in a 3 game span.
4 INTs when score was +/-8 for Bills.
5 first half INTs.
5 INTs when the game was tied
Tied for 1st in 2009 in INTs with 4 other players.
2010-2012: Late-game interceptions, most of the time caused by poor throws. Usually leading when INT happens. Vs poor/average QBs.
2012:
Interceptions (he had 5)
-Never had an interception when we were behind (4 when winning; 1 when tied)
-All of his interceptions were 1st/2nd/3rd and 6+ yds
-Four interceptions in the 4th Q and one in OT. None in 1st/2nd/3rd Q.
-2 on ARI (5-11) [biggest game, one setting up GW FG];
1 on MIA (7-9)[Tannehill overthrow, iced game];
1 on KC (2-14) [garbage time INT in final minute];
1 on JAC (2-14) [garbage time INT in final minute]
-Tied for 7th in 2012 for INTs with 4 other players, including London Fletcher.

Interceptions (he had 3)
-1 on DEN (Tebow poor throw)
-1 on WAS (Beck overthrows)

I was at that same festival in delaware(firefly), and it was filled with Bills fans, in fact I have a picture amongst thousands of tents and there in the distance is a Sabres flag flying 10 ft off the ground. I did a let's go buffalo with 3 separate groups of people.

WOW!

I feel like it's been posted on here before.
For every team that goes 8-2 in the NFL in any category, there's another that likely goes 2-8. In terms of success or failure after bye weeks, those teams as of late have been the Oakland Raiders and the Buffalo Bills. Both of those teams are 2-8 against the spread after their bye weeks in the last 10 seasons. The common themes there are basically that those two teams have been generally very poor over that time period. They have had revolving doors at head coach, and haven't won much at all, whether it's before or after the bye, or any other time.

While I don't dislike Vona Leach, I don't see the Bills going in this direction. Right now, they're talking about having Freddy and CJ on the field much of the time and at the same time. In that type of setup, there's very little use for a blocking fullback, regardless of how good of a blocker he is. Besides that point, Leach would probably come with a decent price tag. If they're not going with more of a single back system and a fullback blocker, it really wouldn't seem to make sense.
They could use him in some full house formations. And the idea of Cj/Freddy always being on the field together is a nice thought, but unrealistic. Constantly marching out our backs together so that can be on the field simultaneously is not going to happen.

If Byrd is let go, can we at least consider the notable post-Jauron castoffs before we determine whether or not the FO knows what it's doing:
- Lee Evans
- Andy Levitre
- Paul Pozluszny
- Donte Whitner
- Aaron Maybin
Aside from Lynch, whose complicated situation has been hashed and rehashed to the point of oblivion, and aside from Levitre--whom has yet to play a non-Bills snap--what evidence is there to suggest that the Bills organization doesn't know what they're missing when they let talent walk? Am I missing a player or two?
Because it looks to me that if the Bills don't think he's worth keeping...then he's not worth keeping. To date, their evaluations have shown this to be true.
Of that list, I'd say that Levitre and Whitner were the only ones considered to have talent we didn't want to lose. Lee Evans was old. Poz injury prone, and Maybin one of the biggest busts ever. We know Byrd is an All Pro. It's a big difference. He has more leverage. Oh and Whitner's been off the team for 2 years and he's already been to the Super Bowl. I think he's doing fine.

Tonight's Scrimmage (8/5)

I'm out of town and wondering if, aside from Twitter and BB.com live blogging, will there be a radio/telecast of the game? WGR or some other entity?
